Battle Belongs with Coleton Furlow Episode 1: Why I Got Involved With Politics as A Christian

CPAC Now is welcoming a new show, Battle Belongs with Coleton Furlow, to our weekly lineup of in-depth and social and political commentary.  

With a title inspired by a Christian artist Phil Wickham song, the show takes on politics and current events in light of God’s guidance in our fight. The show is a rallying point for young conservatives to feel empowered and strengthened in their beliefs with a sense of community. Battle Belongs airs every Friday and will feature guests from both the political and faith communities.  

On this inaugural episode of Battle Belongs, Furlow shares the origin story of how he got involved in politics. Growing up in a conservative area in Maryland, Furlow never felt compelled to be outspoken about politics until he encountered hostility from radical Leftists in college.  

One professor in particular demeaned conservative students and threatened them with failing grades, prompting Furlow to stand up for his principles. This launched him into the world of politics, and he began looking for conservative groups in the area to get involved in.  

Furlow’s experience in college is, sadly, similar to the experiences of many young conservatives all over the country. Battle Belongs, in part, seeks to inspire young conservatives who are facing hostility because of their beliefs.  

“It only takes one person to stand up against the current and stick up for what you believe in and protect other students from being indoctrinated,” said Furlow.
