WEEKLY NEWS SUMMARY - NOVEMBER 11, 2026
In this week's Intersect, read about:
Young Men Swing Hard Toward Democrats in Midterms
"Two years ago, young men helped carry President Trump back to the White House. On Tuesday, many of them turned the other way, and their shift helped power one of the biggest Democratic waves in recent memory." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- The numbers are striking: 59% of young men backed a Democratic House candidate, a swing of more than 30 points in just two years. Pollsters point to grocery prices, housing costs, and frustration with the direction of the country. No party owns any group's vote, and trust must be earned every election again.
- Many young men feel stuck and without hope. Psalm 146:3 warns us not to put our trust in princes. Politics cannot fill the empty place in a young man's heart. Only Christ can, and the Church must offer something better than another campaign promise.
- In Titus 2:6, Paul told Titus to urge the younger men toward self-control. That is a call to mentor, not just to mobilize. Churches that disciple young men will raise up husbands, fathers, and citizens who vote from conviction rather than frustration.
PRAY.
Lord, we lift up the young men of this nation. Many feel lost and without direction. Draw them to You and give them purpose. Raise up older men in our churches who will walk beside them and point them to Christ. Amen
ACT.
Invite a young man to church or out for coffee this week. Ask about his life and his struggles. Encourage your pastor to start or grow a men's mentoring ministry.
First Muslim Senator Vows to Cut Off Israel Weapons
"Michigan voters on Tuesday elected Democrat Abdul El-Sayed to the U.S. Senate, making him the first Muslim ever to serve in the chamber. He defeated Republican Mike Rogers in one of the most bitter races of the year." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- Article VI of the Constitution bans any religious test for public office. So the question is not Abdul El-Sayed's faith. The question is his policy, and his push to end weapons sales while accusing Israel of genocide deserves a clear and honest answer from believers.
- God made a lasting promise to Abraham's family: "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you" (Genesis 12:3). Standing with Israel's right to defend itself is not about politics. It is about honoring a covenant God has never canceled.
- Under Article I, Section 7, bills to raise revenue must begin in the House, and by long tradition, spending bills do too. The Senate can only amend those bills, but no aid package becomes law without its approval, and senators also review major arms sales to foreign nations. One senator's vote still matters, so citizens must watch closely and speak up early.
PRAY.
Lord, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem, as You command in Psalm 122:6. Guard Israel and protect innocent people on every side. Give our new senators wisdom, and turn their hearts toward truth. May America stay a faithful friend to Israel. Amen.
ACT.
Call your two U.S. senators and ask them to keep America's promises to Israel. Share this story with your church so believers understand what is at stake in the Senate.
Blue Washington Votes to Keep Boys Out of Girls' Sports
"On a night when Democrats swept races across the country, voters in some of the bluest corners of America still drew a clear line on one issue. Girls’ sports should be for girls." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- Scripture is clear: "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" (Genesis 1:27). Saying boys and girls are different is not hate. It is the truth, and it gives girls a fair shot to compete and win.
- Washington lawmakers had the chance to act and chose not to. Instead, the Legislature declined to act, sending the proposal to voters, who approved it. When leaders refuse to listen, the people still hold the power to govern themselves.
- This was not a one-state fluke. Voters in four states approved limits on boys in girls' sports this election, including two Democratic-leaning states. Opponents now threaten court fights, so believers must defend this win with both truth and grace.
PRAY.
Father, thank You for protecting these girls through the voice of the people. Give courage to the parents and coaches who spoke up. Show Your love to every student who feels confused or alone. Let Your truth stand in our courts. Amen.
ACT.
Find out what your state's law says about girls' sports. Encourage your church to support girl athletes and their families. If your state allows citizen initiatives, stay ready to sign and share them.
Citizenship Voting Amendments Pass by Wide Margins
"Democrats celebrated big wins in Senate and governor races on Tuesday night, including in Texas. But on one election integrity question, voters across party lines sent a clear and united message: only American citizens should vote." Read more at Million Voices...
THINK.
- Citizen-only voting went five-for-five in Alaska, Arkansas, Kansas, South Dakota, and West Virginia. West Virginia voters approved their amendment by about 80 percent. Results like these ran well above the usual Republican vote, a sign that Americans still share common ground on basic truths.
- The Constitution leaves voter qualifications largely to the states. Federal law bans noncitizens from voting in federal races, but these measures clarify citizenship requirements for state and local elections. Putting this rule in a state constitution means it cannot be undone without the people's vote.
- Scripture reminds us, "But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ" (Philippians 3:20). Our heavenly citizenship does not cancel our earthly duty. It makes us better stewards of the vote God has placed in our hands.
PRAY.
Father, thank You for the gift of living in a free nation. Help us guard our elections with honesty and care. Give wisdom to election officials across our land. May every vote be counted fairly, and may Your justice guide our country. Amen.
ACT.
Read your own state constitution and learn who it says can vote. Contact your state lawmakers and ask them to support citizen-only voting and secure voter rolls. Make sure you and your family are registered and ready for every election.
