Faith Driven Consumer was recently featured in National Review as the publication explored FDC’s growing movement to encourage equal engagement for Faith Driven Consumers across the marketplace, workplace, and public culture.
Reporter Kaitlyn Kiepert spoke with FDC Founder Chris Stone about the organization’s vision and FDC’s “Add-Us-In” initiative. The article also highlights FDC’s recent efforts involving Major League Baseball, including support for San Francisco Giants pitcher Landen Roupp and FDC’s call for MLB to clearly state whether it will welcome, embrace, celebrate, and affirm Faith Driven Consumers equally.
The feature follows several recent FDC initiatives, including our press releases regarding NBA player Jaden Ivey, MLB pitcher Trevor Williams, and the “Stand With Landen Roupp” campaign—each encouraging institutions to provide Faith Driven Consumers the same visible respect and opportunity afforded to other recognized communities. Notably, thousands of supporters have signed related petitions, demonstrating the growing momentum behind these efforts.
We’re grateful to Kaitlyn Kiepert and the National Review team for taking the time to tell this story.
Below are the opening paragraphs of the article:
“Chris Stone thinks Christians have something to learn from the gay-pride movement.
The gay-rights movement, through organizations like GLAAD and Human Rights Campaign, has been unbelievably successful in pushing leading American institutions — big banks, Major League Baseball, elite universities — to celebrate homosexuality. Gay Americans and likeminded allies have used political power and their power as consumers in the marketplace to achieve a level of public recognition that would have been unthinkable just a couple of decades ago.
Stone founded Faith Driven Consumer to help elevate the Christian worldview in the public square in a similar way — not at the expense of any other group, but in addition to them.
The recent controversy surrounding the MLB players who opted to write Bible verses on their caps on ‘Pride Night’ offers a useful example of the disparity Stone sees between Christians and sexual minorities in this country.”
