Faith and Politics: A Call to Action 0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the god of all things possible. He's the god of all0:22 miracles.0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphreys.0:56 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to our broadcast today. Today, we have a very special guest. This guy is just we cannot say enough about him. He is truly a brother to both of us. Yes.1:08 He is a brother in Christ, but also like a real brother. We love him so much. Michelle Yes. Wanna introduce?1:13 He is a fourth generation Wyomingite, so he is from Wyoming, and he flew to Houston to be a a special guest on our program. He's 1 of our1:25 dearest friends. He recently did his part in Wyoming, ran for a state senator, and he won his race and had the Trump1:37 endorsement. It was very impressive. He is the father of 5 children, and his wife, Alicia, loves him. He is a man of God, has worked1:49 with FRC and CBN Broadcasting, and Darren and I worked together for 14 years. So will you welcome Darren Smith?1:59 Yay. Darren.2:00 Ladies, it's so I'm so glad to be here. I always I always joke about Naina and Michelle that, they'd storm hell with an empty water pistol. So you just bring faith and you activate faith wherever you go, and it's just2:12 it's just awesome. I just,2:13 Well, we could say the same about you. That's for sure.2:16 So The scripture, will there be will there be faith on the earth when the Lord comes back? Well, I know as long as you too are on the earth, there will be. So so grateful for it.2:25 Well, we appreciate you. We're so glad you're here, Darren.2:28 Yeah.2:28 We we never see Darren without a smile, and he's always laughing, and you're you just bring joy everywhere. And so we know, Darren, the importance of you running for office, especially2:41 now for such a time as this, and just getting in the game. And so talk about that a little bit and how key I mean, Trump's endorsement is like, you hear him talking. It's like a rocket ship when he2:53 endorsed his people. But2:54 It definitely was helpful for us. We would have won anyway because we really we had the favor of God on our campaign.2:59 Praise God. Yes. We did.3:00 Yeah. You know, evil prevails when when good men do nothing, as as we know.3:05 Oh, so good.3:06 And, resistance to tyranny is obedience to God. So you you have to jump in from the schoolhouse to the White House. We all have a a part to play. And, you know, as you as you ladies know, when Liz Cheney came to3:17 Wyoming, I was the first 1 to jump in and metaphorically hit her in the mouth, metaphorically speaking.3:24 You did run against Liz Cheney.3:25 That's right. But at the time at the time, she was the she was the, you know, the daughter of3:30 State rep. Yeah.3:31 Well, she was the daughter of, the vice president. And, you know, she nobody else really knew what what she was up to. Right? So I spent a hundred thousand and she spent 5000000 and we lost by 20000 votes. But that was3:43 my first stint with politics and seeing how Yeah. How, like, how rough it is. It's really it's a blood sport.3:48 What was it that caused you to go from father of 5, husband, your your children's church, your lawyer, all these things, and you think I'm gonna run for4:00 office. What was it that triggered it?4:02 You know, it was the Holy Spirit. I just thought, doesn't anybody get it? Doesn't anybody doesn't anybody care? This is pure evil. This is like she's the poster child for the industrial military complex.4:13 Yes.4:13 And she's going to come and carpetbag our state and take our nation in the wrong direction. And sure enough, she did just that, didn't she? So that's why I but I think most people, you're you're busy raising kids and and4:24 and building a family and a life, and you turn 40. And then you wake up and you say, who's running this place?4:31 You just kinda have a You4:32 always thought it was the 40 and up crowd, and now you are 1. You know?4:36 It's it's the moments of life, and I think so many more people just need to to step up. Like, we were just talking about it in a previous show about we can't sit around and complain if we're not willing to do4:48 something because really doing nothing is doing everything. You know, you're you're either gonna stand for something or you're gonna fall for everything.4:54 Right. Right. And I'll tell you, there was a big difference that was made in in that race in the state. So I was told that, hey, Wyoming is a libertarian state. I mean, think of our favorite sons. We have Dick Cheney and5:05 Al Simpson, and and we you just don't, you know, just leave your we know you're a religious guy, but just kinda leave that on the shelf when you go to the state convention. Don't and don't talk about the Lord. And I'm5:15 like, well, hey, I'm I'm here to talk about the Lord. I'm I'm here to take ground.5:19 So Praise God.5:20 If Well,5:21 tell the story about when the day you you brought that out. Yes.5:25 Oh, yeah. So so I just say I'm in the middle of the speech and it's time. It's only 5 minutes. And and so in the middle of the speech, I I just quoted Ronald Reagan, and where where, you know, his quote, the day that5:36 we're no longer 1 nation under God, we're 1 nation gone under, and that crowd was supposedly libertarian, they erupted.5:45 Amen. I5:46 probably could have got them to stand up, you know?5:48 They just they they wave.5:53 So they literally for like 30 seconds, my speech was stalled, and I I but I had so much more to say. Right? By the way, if somebody if they're clapping for you, just let it go.6:04 Keep going.6:05 I'm missing the next day on talk well, that I was the second 16:08 to speak. Then, you know, they all6:10 quoted scripture and talked about their faith and6:11 Oh, yeah.6:12 And then suddenly, they were all saved.6:14 Yeah. They're all trying they're all trying to give us all the6:16 applause and the the6:18 Exactly. 2 Corinthians.6:21 He endorsed you. You better watch it.6:23 Trump no. No. I was just I was kidding. That was he he is you know, actually, I could convict him on a court of law of being a Christian. So but Absolutely. Yeah. But the next day on talk radio, they're like, yeah, man.6:34 Smith turned them all into Christians. He got a lot of applause,6:36 and they're like Amen.6:39 But but courage begets courage, and that's what you did that day, is you brought Wyoming back to their roots, which is God.6:50 From that day forward, pretty much for any race in Wyoming, you have to say you're pro life now.6:56 There you go.6:56 They say they are, but you know how. Yeah. You know, it's like we we've gotta we gotta hold them accountable. That's right. You know, it made a difference.7:02 Well, even your wife, Alicia, she ran she's running right now for school board.7:07 Yeah. Yeah.7:07 She's an incumbent. So surely she has the edge. Right?7:11 Yeah. Well, we hope so. Yeah. She's7:14 And I mean, guys, there's nothing more important than running for school board. Right.7:18 The the The future generation.7:20 Lincoln said, the philosophy of education in 1 generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.7:27 It's so true.7:28 Important to run for school board. So if you can't think of an office to run for and you're a godly Christian person, sign up to run for school board. Right?7:37 Think about the indoctrinations and the things that they're pouring into our kids. And and and and think about these colleges. People are actually paying money for their kids to to be turned into. Basically,7:49 it's communism. And so just just it's gotta start somewhere. It's gotta start at, like you said, local.7:55 Totally. And you'd think in Cheyenne that we'd have good conservatives superintendents. You would8:00 think so.8:00 My wife was the only 1 on the previous school board that voted against the superintendent that was silencing parents and pushing porn on the kids. And, she was the only 1. And there are some people who profess to be8:12 Christians and, you know, and, you know, talk talk Christianese. Right? But when rubber hit the road, my wife was the only 1 to vote to not exist yet.8:20 That? Yeah. How would how does that even happen? You know, if you just think about that, like, what parent I am sorry. You have to be out of your mind to want that in your kid's school8:32 Amen. And to vote for that. How is that even that's a reprobate mindset if you ask me.8:37 It is a reprobate mindset, and that's what the enemy is using to grab our children Yes. And and steal, kill, and destroy. And Yes. We are going to talk more about that whenever we come back.8:48 When I started MyPillow, it was just a problem solution, 1 product company.
