We train principled leaders for government and the church because the world needs people who can think clearly, lead wisely, and love faithfully in public life.
In a world that profits from anger and exhaustion, we're doing something different; equipping people to think deeply, lead wisely, and engage mercifully.
1
The world needs people angry enough to click, share, and donate. We need people informed enough to think for themselves, so we provide honest education without scare tactics or partisan spin.
2
Principles matter more than party loyalty, which is why we develop leaders who evaluate ideas on their merits and pursue human flourishing, not political wins.
3
Quick hits and hot takes don't build the kind of leaders the world needs, so we take the long view through courses, mentorship, spiritual formation, and community that develops people over time.
We help Christians think clearly about politics so they can engage faithfully, not fearfully.
1
Through courses, workshops, and articles, we teach people how to navigate complex ethical issues well (i.e., immigration, politics, power, etc.).
2
We empower people to engage ideas charitably before disagreeing, such as knowing how to listen, ask better questions, and evaluate positions on their merit.
3
We're equipping communities of faith who are thoughtful without being apathetic or cruel; people who bring clarity to chaos instead of adding to the noise.
Know What's Happening and How to Respond
We're the voice of the Church in public policy.
1
We monitor state and federal legislation affecting religious freedom, ethics, family, and human dignity.
2
We explain legislation and current events, why it matters, and redemptive ways to engage.
3
We provide state-of-the-art tools to engage stakeholders with their representatives, advocacy resources, etc.
Organizations like the American Council matter. They equip believers to think clearly, engage wisely, and stand firmly for faith, freedom, and common sense in public life. If we want to preserve the principles that made this nation strong, we need informed citizens who are willing to lead. The American Council and Tanner DiBella are helping raise that kind of leadership.
