What To Do When Our Elected Leaders Betray Biblical Values

The interview came in response to a disappointing decision by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign a bill that protects same-sex marriage and places religious freedom in the crosshairs.

Pastor Hamrick, who hosted Youngkin at his church during his campaign, expressed his disapproval both publically and privately to the Governor.

“What I said to the Governor, and what I told our congregation on Sunday, [was that] as a Believer for him to put his signature to a law—making it law—that is a clear violation of the higher moral standard of God’s law, that’s where I strongly disagree with what he did. For believers, what he’s done… it felt like a betrayal,” Hamrick lamented. “We thought that he was going to govern in a way that was consistent with our Biblical values, and on this one, in my opinion, and in that of a lot of folks, he got this one wrong.”
