Revival, Miracles, and the Power of the Holy Spirit: A Special Episode of Thrive with Rob and Jason
On today’s episode of Thrive with Rob and Jason on AbundantTV, we had the privilege of chatting with Bunni Pounds, a leader who is bringing faith and civic engagement together in powerful ways. We were honored to hear her insights on mobilizing Christians to take action in the political sphere, as well as discuss her recent book, Jesus and Politics.
Bunni Pounds emerges as a beacon of hope, seamlessly blending faith with civic engagement. As the founder and president of Christians Engaged, Bunni is on a mission to awaken the Church to its civic duties, emphasizing the power of prayer, the importance of voting, and the necessity of active participation in governance. Her journey from a worship leader to a political consultant, and now a published author, showcases a life dedicated to intertwining faith with action.
A Mission to Awaken the Church
Christians Engaged, established in December 2019, was birthed from Bunni’s profound realization that the Church needed to rise from its slumber concerning civic responsibilities. Inspired by Romans 13:11, which urges believers to “awake out of sleep,” Bunni felt a divine mandate to mobilize Christians across America. The organization’s core mission revolves around three pivotal actions:
- Pray: Encouraging believers to intercede for their nation and its leaders, recognizing that prayer is the foundation of transformation.
- Vote: Educating Christians on the significance of their vote and providing resources to ensure they are informed and active participants in every election.
- Engage: Equipping individuals to take tangible steps in their communities, advocating for biblical values and the welfare of their neighbors.
Under Bunni’s leadership, Christians Engaged has rapidly become a trusted source for civic engagement, offering on-demand video courses, state-focused voting resources, and a weekly show featuring in-depth interviews with national Christian leaders and elected officials. The organization’s holistic approach ensures that believers are not only spiritually prepared but also practically equipped to influence their communities and nation. (christiansengaged.org)
“Jesus and Politics”: Bridging Two Worlds
In her recent book, “Jesus and Politics: One Woman’s Walk with God in a Mudslinging Profession,” Bunni delves into her 16-year political career, offering readers a unique perspective on navigating faith within the often tumultuous realm of politics. The book serves as both a memoir and a manual, providing practical tools for Christians to engage in politics without compromising their spiritual integrity. (bunnipounds.com)
Bunni emphasizes that the Christian life isn’t about choosing the easy path but about embodying Christ’s teachings even in challenging environments. She believes that Christians have a responsibility to engage in politics and other spheres of influence to impact systems and individuals positively. Through personal anecdotes, Bunni illustrates how divine guidance has led her to forge unlikely relationships, support leaders through crises, and promote unity amidst political differences.

A Testament to Faith in Action
Bunni’s journey is a testament to what can be achieved when faith intersects with action. Her transition from a worship leader to a political consultant and now a leader of a national movement underscores the diverse ways God can use individuals for His glory. She often remarks, “If God can use a woman with a political resume for His glory, He can use anyone.” (christiansengaged.org)
Through Christians Engaged, Bunni has created a platform where believers can receive the education and encouragement needed to step into their civic roles confidently. The organization’s resources, from video courses to state-specific voting guides, are designed to demystify the political process and empower Christians to make a tangible difference.

Looking Ahead
As the political climate continues to evolve, the need for informed and engaged Christians becomes increasingly evident. Bunni Pounds stands at the forefront of this movement, reminding believers that their voices matter and that their involvement is crucial for the nation’s well-being. Her work with Christians Engaged and her writings serve as a clarion call to the Church to rise, pray, vote, and engage for the glory of God and the good of the country.
In a time when many feel powerless to effect change, Bunni’s message is clear: through faith and action, every Christian has the potential to influence their community and nation profoundly.
