Noem Discusses the Impact of Faith during National Bible Week

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In celebration of National Bible Week, Rep. Kristi Noem spoke on the House floor about the impact of faith in her life, as a mom, a citizen and a policymaker. This week marks the 76th annual National Bible Week.

Noem describes growing up in a church-going family and sharing that faith with her children. She also explains that “so many times, people try to navigate policy debates … by fighting to change another person’s mind.” Instead, she argues, policymakers should seek to change people’s hearts.

  1. Does she not know what her job is and is not?Does it get any more foolish and un-American than to promote religion on the floor of the capitol of “We the People”?

    1. Such an ignorant, uninformed comment. Do you realize that there were several regular church services that were held at the capitol for the first 100 years or so.
      Something like 40 of the founding fathers were ordained ministers and the meetings were often started with lengthy prayer time.
      I was deeply encouraged to hear Kristis comments spoken on the House floor.

    2. Let me give you some words to consider from one of our founding fathers…
      “ And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed the only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.… The doctrines of Jesus are simple, and tend all to the happiness of mankind.”
      -Thomas Jefferson

      I quote Jefferson because folks tend to know that he himself was one of the least “religious”, yet here he is referencing God and Jesus!

  2. we are ‘one nation UNDER GOD’ and once we forget that we are in big trouble and perhaps that is why we are in trouble. Maybe we need more speeches like Kristi’s on the floor of the capitol!
