Our Movement Is Now Storming State By State!

Lance: O Boy, O Boy, we’re back again. This has been one wild week. We’ve been discussing Global Economics Reformation Revival and Prophetic Destiny over America and the nations and now I feel like we’re pulling it all together with my special guest Chad Conley. Welcome. And so glad you could join us here on the Lance Wallnau Show. Chad, you were telling me, you’ve been traveling with some interesting people. We’re talking about David Lane and who else was? 

Chad Conley: David Barton.

Lance: David Barton and you’ve gone through 17 States, 53 meetings. What are you doing in these 17 states? We all ought to know about it.

Chad Conley: Yes, sir. Well, first, I’m honored to be with you and thank you for leading and I’ve been enjoying watching the segments and what we’re trying to do is just wake up the church, Lance. We’re trying to tell Christians, they have a Matthew five obligation to be salt and light and too many of these woke churches are saying, oh don’t do politics, don’t get involved and they’re wrong, they’re off base, they’re not biblical. So, all we’re telling pastors is your people need you like never before. There’s so much clutter and noise and confusion. It is time for the church to retake its place and fulfill its destiny and God‘s calling in this time. He doesn’t need me, don’t need you, and don’t need America. God‘s going to do his purposes but we have an obligation and a stewardship responsibility to fulfill.

So, all we’re trying to do Lance is wake up to Church get pastors to number one, hold a non-partisan voter registration and number two make sure their people vote biblical values in every election at every level, so Christian voices are heard and felt and maximized.

Lance: Alright, so this is a big subject. You go into a church and what do you find is some of the confusion that’s in the church that you’re clarifying. What are you making clear that wasn’t clear before you got there?

Chad Conley: Well, we’re obviously talking to the pastors who are with me and you. What we do is we build relationships with pastors in virtually every state. I’ve now have about 17,000 pastors who’ve either been in my meetings or been on my Zoom calls or done voter registration with our Faith Wins team in the last 5 or 6 years who have bought in. So, I’m telling those pastors, you do small meetings with pastors. Tell them that there are things about American history they don’t know and there are ways to understand that God‘s role in this is irreplaceable.And then I go in, I do a meeting with them and then I bring in David Barton who as you know is probably America’s greatest living Christian historian. I have him teach them about God‘s role in this nation and how pastors of old always cut through the things of the day.

Our pastors as you know have sort of avoided speaking on issues of the day because they’re quote unquote controversial. And so, people are getting confused because they’re getting more from the news, from the polls, from their friends, who are just as confused by the way, and so it’s a time like never before to pastors to just give biblical clarity to folks once again.

Lance: Couple of questions I’ve got. And I’m sure David Barton is, you’re a gracious man so you let you probably let David fill in what he does best. But give me an American history lesson that people don’t know about. You’ve listened to David and you know the stories. Give us one thing that we might here if we were in the audience there in these churches.

Chad Conley: Man, I have hundreds of them Lance, but one that’s my favorite. I was in his museum in Dallas, Texas just the other day and he’s got an Olympic torch there. I say, ‘David, what’s this Olympic torch?’ And he said, ‘Well, this is the Olympic torch Jesse Owens carried in the 1936 Olympics.’ We remember that that was when Hitler was trying to put boost his favorite nation, the Arian Nation. Jesse Owens, an American black guy, goes there and wins the gold medal. Then he shows you the sheet of paper that they own in their museum where Jesse Owens signed the document that he was one of the gold medal winners. Then he’s got a picture of the 1968 Olympics, where the two black guys first time I think where people disrespected the American flag and the national anthem. They raised the black power and bowed their heads.

He’s got a story in the press that he also owns from 1968, and he tells the story behind the scenes.He says, the media look for those two guys because they were going to blow it up because weknow the media loves negative. But nobody could find those two black guys and you know why? They were getting chewed out for disrespecting America in their locker room and their coaches name in 1968 was Jesse Owens. Then he shows us Jesse Owens, an original book called Black Think. Where Jesse Owens talks about how great America is and it’s not perfect because no nation and no person is perfect but Jesus Christ is only one that’s Perfect. And it’s telling the story about how special America is and how we solve problems in America and we give opportunity to people.

So, that’s just one of the stories but then he hand you a Bible and you’re holding this Bible that was the Aiken Bible. The Aiken Bible was not only printed in America. The first Bible printed in America. It was paid for by the United States Congress in the front leaf. But more than the congress paying for it in the front leaf Lance, the Congress wrote down the United States Congress recommends that every American read this book, the Bible, the Holy Word of God. I got it all day long. He just goes on and on and on and Bibles that 12 signers of the declaration on. Man, I can do this all day long. There’re so much history people do not know, don’t appreciate because it’s been lied about, covered up, ghost over for so long now.

Lance: God‘s role in the nation. You’re absolutely right. I mean we have been so beat up over this argument in the extreme which is America isn’t a Christian nation or America is a Christian nation. And really that debate is secondary to are you aware of the amount of history of Christian influence in the nation in the documents. Because once you see it and right down to Lincoln’s inaugural addresses. You at least get delivered from the lie that America was formed under a presiding Christian worldview. That much we have to agree on even if you don’t want to agree that America is dedicated to God as a Christian nation. But, so what are you seeing? I read your comments whenever I run into them with great interest, because I look at you like someone who out there in the field sampling the focus groups. Like what’s really going on. Is there something changing you’re seeing in the last couple of years in let’s say in the populist movement the Christian part of America’s movement. What are you seeing?

Chad Conley: Yes sir. I’ve been in politics. God has had a sense of humor. I’ve been in the political world for over 20 years now and it’s like pulling our teeth trying to get people to volunteer. Not right now Lance. People are coming out of the woodwork. They’re bursting out of the seams and they say to me, we want to do something. We don’t know what to do and I say, look, I know what to do. Let us help you. We got really involved in Virginia and this is the example I’ll give you. We got really involved in Virginia. We had 312 churches that did voter registration. We never told them who to vote for but we registered 77,000 new evangelicals.

Now, two years ago, they had a governor who applauded when the legislature passed a new law to let babies they tried to abort who lived through the abortion. They said, we’re going to allow them to die comfortably. Now you and I know that’s just wicked. That’s horrible. The new governor prayed in Jesus name this year. Now we never told anybody who to vote for, but we did talk about life and marriage and Israel and religious liberty as issues to vote on. And the guy,Governor Younkin won by some 63,800 votes. I don’t know if our 77,000 mattered or not but we think they did.

In the Process of that though, we saw people who came to our pastor meetings who I would not have described as believers. They came to the evening services because we do breakfast and lunches primarily with only pastors or leaders then we do evening services at churches and bring the community in. I got to tell you, there’s a lot of mamas and daddies who are sick of this forced racism through CRT, who are sick of this. We’re going to let the boys that feel like girls go to the bathroom with the girls who then rape Girls and the school boards covered up. Lance, we had some of those parents go to our churches and get saved afterwards who really didn’t have any church experience to speak up.

So, I think God‘s moving, man. God‘s moving in our nation, believers and non-believers. We’re seeing people come to the lord. We’re seeing Christians who are getting a new fire who realize it is not an option whether or not they engage this culture. They cannot be Salt & Light and fulfill the Matthew 5 obligation to be Salt & Light unless they engage in this culture in these times and let’s face it. God put us right here right now to deal with what’s going on.

Lance: He put you right here right now. That’s for sure. You’re on fire brother. Now, tell me about your 20 years of background. What were you doing before you did this?

Chad Conley: Sure, you probably know a little bit of my story. Got involved in the pro-life movement in the late 90s. I did door knocking for candidates, not official. Got involved with the pro-life organization. My first wife died of suicide in 06. Its goanna to be 16 years. God brought me a Godly lady who was also widowed by suicide. He put us together. She had two little girls, had two little boys. After that, I got back involved in politics. I ran for State Party Chairman of South Carolina from 11 to 13. I was State Party Chairman. As you know, South Carolina’s right after Iowa and New Hampshire. So, I did every political show on television on one of those shows I was basically promoting my State, but I was beating up the National Party for ignoring the faith vote.

The National Party assumed that the Christians would come out. And a guy named ReincePriebus saw me. I was actually on MSNBC. When it happened, I was on Al Sharpton show and I’m not promoting it but I was on there and Reince texted me and he said, Chad, I’m a believer too you’re right we shouldn’t ignore the evangelical vote and let’s talk. So, I mean I knew him I was one of his 50 chairman. I went to see him after the 2012 election. He formed a thing called GOP Faith. I got to be the first ever National Director of Faith Engagement. And from 13 to 17, I went to 43 States and spoke to over 80,000 pastors with that simple message. Register all of them and make sure they vote biblical values. We’re not asking you to charge the beach at D daywe’re not asking you to march down to Trenton on Christmas night with a burlap wrapped around your bleeding feet. We’re asking you to register everybody in your church and vote biblical values. It’s just not that big a lift.

I left the RNC. I think I’m one of the only, maybe the only senior staffer not to go work in the Trump White House. God put on my heart to start my own organization. I started a 501 C3 called Faith Wins. I took those relationships I had and we’ve been expanding on, Lance all over the country. And this past two years with David Barton, the last two years we’ve registered a little over a million new evangelicals in churches across America. Look, I think the church is the solution. It’s the answer. It’s the answer for the nation. It’s the answer for the kingdom on earth. And I believe that any political candidate elected official or movement conservative who does not maximize the church vote, voice, and influence is going to lose in this environment. So that’s why God‘s got me doing this I think.

Lance: Well and you breeze over this rather quickly but you said you were able to get what 60 some thousand new voters for the Republican Party in Virginia?

Chad Conley: Yes sir. 70,000 we registered, we measured 77,000 new evangelicals in 312 churches and it just shows you.

Lance: And he won by what? 68,000?

Chad Conley: 63,800 and something.

Lance: So you breezed over the point which I’m not going to let you get away with. which is that if not for your effort and 312 churches that were willing to at least be open. The governmental environment over the future of even the state would be different. But so I got to, did you know Paul Wyrick by any chance?

Chad Conley: He was a hero man.

Lance: Tell the people who Wyrick was?

Chad Conley: That this guy was probably the father of the conservative movement and he started figuring out that we’ve got to put coalition together. He was one of the first people that came out of the Reagan Movement who said, the conservative movement consist of 3 legs. The military conservative, the fiscal conservative, and the social conservative. And of course we’ve seen a lot of people in the Republican Party who are so quick to discount the social conservatives and Wyatt was one of those people that said, no. This is going to take all three legs of the stool to make this thing successful. I think that’s what we’re seeing happen right now is the movement conservatives that care about the social issues and Lance you said it. Y’all just covered economic issues just a little bit ago. All of them go in play and Christian’s care about all of them.

Look people in these meetings, they’re ticked off about $5 and$6 gasoline and they’re upset about inflation and they’re crazy mad about the border being open and the drugs coming across. They’re disgusted at the spending that’s going on. But they love the idea that life was created by God and his image. They love the idea of in Israel. They love the idea of traditional marriage and the very essence of religious liberty. You will not have had religious liberty had it not been for America’s founders having a respect for the Bible, the word of God. So Christians know that stuff. And I believe it’s happening and there’s an awareness going on and you guys were just talking about revival. Look, I think we’re in the throes of it. I really do. I think something’s happening in God‘s movement.

Lance: Well I want to make sure people are aware of the fact that you’ve got a 501 C3. You supported by donations. “Faithwins.us”. I want to encourage everybody to support Chad Connolly. The work that he is doing is indispensable to turning America around. So, okay let me give you a hypothetical.

Chad Conley: Okay.

Lance: I’m now doing meetings of 5000 to 8000 people. We’re mobilizing hundreds of churches with Mario Morilo and we’re doing everything from. He’s got a 5000 seater tent, now we’re going to be using to arenas to various venues, theaters I think also in smaller places. So part of my vision here is that the gospel be preached. What we’re finding is that by getting the churches involved and getting volunteers to go out and invite the unsaved to the gospel that we’re seeing like 25% of the people that come out are actually in Christ. These are 25% of the crowd don’t know Jesus but they’re coming out.

But my theory of the case is that the populous movement that is the subjects that people want to hear in church, the churches aren’t addressing are so compelling of interest that our audience can grow even more if we’re bringing in some certain people that are Christians that are really concerned about the future of American religious liberty. I think if we expand our organization that we’re going to be able to have a much bigger audiences coming out for the political discourse and still present the gospel kind of like Billy Graham style. But then Chad, here’s my question to you. Then I want to be able to do daytime training of all the people including the 25% that just came to Jesus all new recruits, plus all of the 75% that are coming out. Because they’re interested in the conversation.

Now we’ve got maybe we saw in Tulsa 10,000 people. What would be the ideal menu of things to accomplish in training during the day, do evangelism at night and we do populous training during the day? What would we be training the people to do?

Chad Conley: Well, first I love what you’re doing and you and I ought to talk about making sure some of those dates can coincide and bring David Barton to teach some history. Because we’re doing similar stuff and by the way we’re doing a gospel presentation too. We had 25 people saved at our meeting of, I don’t know, I guess we had 2:25 that day, that night or that afternoon.So, we’re getting people saved too. I think the things you got to focus on, the one thing they’re talking about Selection Integrity Big Time Lance. So, we created a QR code and we’ve been drawing volunteers in and saying to people, hey, if you want to do something about what’s going on, if you want to be a part of the fix and the solution, then hit this QR code with your camera.Scan it with your camera phone. And we’ll connect you to the precinct in the county where you live, so that we can get you involved in precinct training for poll watching or sworn election officers.

Lance in Virginia, our 312 churches recruited 1343 poll watchers and Virginia had 45 days of early voting. So, we had Christian eyeballs on what was going on. In one place, we found that the same guy registered 27 times. So, we just presented to him. They removed that name from voting 27 times. Another place, one of my teams called me and said, Chad, we found 17 people registered at the same address. I said, wow, it’s a big house. Why don’t you send one of your Sunday school classes, because this is what we did. We had churches involved. They sent a Sunday school class in Lance. It was a field. So, we looked at little over 3000 vote. We didn’t have the bandwidth to do more and we found 5.2% of the votes we looked at were fraudulent. That was just in the state of Virginia.

So, now, we’re recruiting people for this work all over the country and we’re making sure we put Christian like I said Christian voices and votes everywhere. And there are people doing different trainings but I would say a big one is help us. We can help you connect them to poll Watcher,poll Watcher training sworn election officers, depending on what the state identification those names are. We can help you do that brother.

Lance: Now if they go to your website. Can they sign up for that now?

Chad Conley: Sure. “Faithwins.us” there’s a ‘Take Action’ tab and they go there put their email in. We’ll match them up and get them fixed up.

Lance: Alright. Get ready because we got a boatload of populous. I want to drive Bannon to jealousy over my armies as big as his. It’s getting there.

Chad Conley: That’s exactly right. So church is untapped Lance. I mean, the political people are never going to tap into the church. Look, I don’t mind telling you here. I that’s why I left the RNC. I didn’t think the stomach was there to reach out to the evangelicals. They wanted to do faith outreach which is fine. But I got to tell you it was God‘s move because I think it’s better done through a 501 C3 than a political party. I don’t think the parties care about being authentic dealing with pastors. And I just wouldn’t going to listen to people who honestly could barely identify church in a picture. So, I’d rather do this through my own C3. I know what I’m doing politically. I’ve done this at the highest levels in the country. I’ve been a state party chairman. But I’ve spoken in churches now for 25, 30 years.

So, pastors are my buddies. I have the greatest career in the world. I get to hang out with the most awesome people in the world like Lance Wallnau and Jim Garlow and thousands of other pastor votes.

Lance: Well, we’re going to be working a lot more together in the future. So, I just got a couple more questions and thanks for your time here.

Chad Conley: Oh man, I’m loving it.

Lance: We’re going to do this voter integrity drive. How about the school boards? What could Christians do? I’m thinking about this, I need to find an organization that will help the same thing. We got to start getting parents, concerned parents aligned, maybe a QR code for getting involved with the school boards and school issues. So, what do we do in that regard?

Chad Conley: Well, listen, I think that’s the place we need to start is school boards. We’re getting our teeth kicked in by school boards. I told that church Sunday night in Macon, Georgia. I said, face it. If there was a grandmama or granddaddy or a Christian mama or daddy in the room when they said, hey, we’ve got this boy and yeah he raped a girl in the other school district.But we’re going to put him over here and sure enough he raped a girl. That would have never happened if a believer was in the room. So it just tells you there’s an absence of Christian thinking and action in those places. So you are spot on. Part of what we’re doing is recruiting people and we’re slotting them into different states. We’re getting them to groups that are recruiting to run and we’re connecting them with the state party or the county parties that they need to get involved with to go sign up to run for stuff. I think that move is happening in a big time way.

Lance: Yeah, and I don’t know what in the world the Republican Party does. It’s got millions of dollars’ worth of budget but to me it’s weird that the grassroots has to organize but the good news is I talked to some Paul Wyrick guys who work with him. They educated me about Paul and here’s what they said Chad. They said, and this is an exciting proposition I will give to you. That never in the history of the Republican Party has there been less infrastructure in the States that Donald Trump was the wrecking ball to the way the party politics ran until he showed up. His Twitter feed and his media bites and his public rallies actually became the infrastructure for his election victory. But now with the populist, what I’m calling the populist movement that is there echo nationalism, whatever you want to call it.

This movement gives us an opportunity to mobilize Christians as a vehicle for statewide infrastructure that the party can no longer ignore. We’re about 30% or 40% of the voting base according to Ralph Reed of the Republican Party anyway. But we can create the infrastructure for state organization that the Republican Party has to deal with and instead of being as they do out trotted out for the photo, we want to take and then they kick us to the curb Trump did change that. He brought the Christian community the evangelical pro-life Catholic into a place of engagement and I don’t think we’re going to leave it because the nation needs our engagement.But do you see the possibility of greater organization within the states for a sustained reformation of the swampy Republican Party?

Chad Conley: Man, you are singing my song. Lance, I hadn’t been a State Party chairman. I assume other did the same thing I did. Of course, I had an evangelical outreach. That was a big part of what we did and to go to these other States and see it not happen has been a little bit shocking to be honest with you. We became the de facto ground game. We weren’t representing the party but in Virginia, our churches were filling that role in a lot of ways and so yes and amen. In fact, you’re hitting on it. I built my model reading and watching Jerry Falwell Senior in the 80s and 90s and Pat Robertson.

They both were very close and I’m not them. They’re far better, far smarter, far more wise, and renowned. I think that those movements kind of went away in those times because our people did what Doctor Falwell said. He said, our problem is we win, we quit, we lose, we quit. We spend our energy ramping back up. So, what I do, the way I fund mine is I’m paying by vocational pastors in the States. That way it doesn’t become about me. I’m not the guy. I’m just the guy that hopefully is passing on a vision. I’ve seen it work nationally but I’m trying to empower those pastors in the States and duplicate what I’ve been doing so that we get the best of what was done before but we make it more of a permanent movement and a permanent presence.

Lance: Oh, I love what you’re doing. The reality is I think you’re more like one of the founding fathers like James Madison. When Jefferson could write something, Hamilton could propose something. But it took Madison to sell it and hammer it out so that all the states signed off and created a functional infrastructure. I think you’ve got that patient endurance to be able to do that.So, I want to thank you once again Chad for being with us and you’re going to have a book that’s going to come out the end of this. I encourage you to write your lessons for the sake of the pastors. Oh one more thing. Where can pastors go? They don’t know how to deal with these sensitive issues.

I wrote a book and I’m happy to say it was it was a best seller. We had over 100,000 sold and I quoted Barton in it and I got some of his data from him and Barna on the top subjects Pastors,people want to hear about. Including life and religious liberty and marriage and gender stuff. But the 98% of the pastors we surveyed are avoiding those subjects, because many times they really don’t know what to say. Where can pastors go and where can Christians go to become literature on these subjects so that they could especially the clergy, so they could preach them with confidence. Where do they go?

Chad Conley: That book that you’re talking about. I’ve read three or four times called “U Turn”and it does lay those issues out. What we try to do on our website, they can go to “Faithwins.us”. We did a bunch of videos taking small snippets to cover a lot of that. What are the objections pastors hear from their people? How do you handle them? How do you run voter registration etcetera? But that book “U Turns” probably the most comprehensive of what the parishioners, what the congregates want to hear, what the pastors are teaching, and what they think they’re teaching rather, and what they’re really teaching. It does demonstrate just like you’re saying Lance. There is a real hunger out there of the members in the church sitting in the pews who want to know how their pastor thinks and how to discern the issues of the day. So I would recommend the book “U Turn”.

Lance: Fantastic. Well, I want to thank you again Chad for joining us and I’m going to encourage our people to go to “FaitwWins.us”. Support men like this because they’re the ones doing the real, like my dad would say that’s the grunt work that gets the victory. We’re going to have you on again Chad because I’m always interested in your analysis of current events and you really have a sense of where the church and the grassroots movement is. So, God bless you. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Chad Conley: God bless you brother. Appreciate you man.

Lance: Praise God. These are good guys we have here. I want to stress that our Birch Gold interview is getting a lot of traction right now. You want to go to “Lancewallnau.com/birch” and talk about your retirement plan. If you have a 401K or if you got an IRA, you can roll them over into new accounts that are actually secured with gold. So, that as the dollar fluctuates, you could put it, you could peg it into silver. You could peg it into gold and start to, it’s a free consultation is going to cost you. But so many people are getting help, because they don’t realize that even if you have a little, you can secure a lot and knowledge is power.

So, go to “Lancewallnau.com/birch”. Download the reports. Call them up for a consultation and see how you can move your existing retirement plan into something which is locked in on gold and silver, so that you’re doubly protected in all of the turbulences coming. I look forward to talking to of you again tomorrow. You don’t want to miss any of it. God bless you.
