With a red, white, and blue backdrop behind them, a number of church leaders took to the platform at Mark Driscoll’s church, Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, ahead of this week’s election. The intent was to pray over Kari Lake, who is running to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate, and to “encourage God’s people to get out and vote.”
“We’re going to make church great again,” said Driscoll of the service time dedicated to the upcoming election.

Mark and Grace Driscoll, Charlie Kirk, Sean Feucht, and Jack Brewer took to the stage at Trinity Church to conduct interviews and pray before the election. A banner above the platform emphasized, “Vote like Jesus,” and Driscoll urged for the congregation to “vote according to our biblical and Christian convictions.”
“The Bible says to pray for our leaders,” Driscoll began. “And that would include praying for those that we’re praying become our leaders. Amen?”
Grace Driscoll prayed over the leaders present and specifically for Kari Lake. “Lord, I thank you that you are Lord over every one of these people’s lives,” Grace prayed. “I thank you that you have called them to very specific missions.”
“I pray that you would empower them to continue to do the mission that you’ve called them to,” said Grace. “Thank you for Kari. Thank you for her courage. Thank you for her faith. Thank you for pursuing your wisdom. I pray her into this office, Lord.”
“I pray that you would bless our state with her in office,” prayed Grace.
When asked what God has taught her throughout the process of running for office, Lake said, “When life deals you a blow, you’ve got to get back up.” Rather than asking God why there’s so much difficulty, Lake has learned to “appreciate all of the challenge.”
“This is such a beautiful state,” Lake said of Arizona. “We’re so much more together than we are divided.” She concluded, “As long as we have Jesus, we’re all going to be fine.”
Driscoll also welcomed and interviewed worship leader and controversial political activist Sean Feucht, who has organized prayer meetings at all 50 capitals. “When you’re doing something BIG for the kingdom of God, the opposition is LITERALLY Satan,” said Feucht on X. “The good news is that GOD WINS.”
