Dr. Chris Hughes from Citizens for America is back on the show today. He shares more about his background, what Citizens for America is, and encouragement for you as a believer in our current culture. Tune in for a couple of exciting developments coming in 2022!

Dr. Chris Hughes shares more about his background in this episode. He talks about his days as a celebrity BBQ chef and how food often opens the door to sharing the Gospel. He’s been involved in planting churches and, hopefully soon, a Bible college in India. In 1992, he ran for political office for the first time. These things led to a burden for seeing Christians engaging in public policymaking.
Citizens for America Foundation
Citizens for America Foundation was created for the purpose of helping Christians develop a biblical worldview. It’s also dedicated to impacting the culture for Jesus. They desire to protect religious freedoms and preserve our Christian heritage. It’s about strengthening families and defending the sanctity of human life through education and public policy.
From Podcast to Radio
Dr. Hughes began a podcast in June 2021 called The Christian Perspective with Chris Hughes. The podcast features guests addressing topical issues in culture. God opened doors for Dr. Hughes to begin a weekly radio show on Saturdays of the same name in October 2021 on the Truth Media Network. Now, plans are in progress for a weekday hour-long radio national radio show to launch early in 2022. I’m excited to announce that I will be a weekly co-host on the Friday broadcast of the radio show!
