Brad Schroeder has declared that all marriages in the United States must obey harsh Christian religious rules about who can be married and how married couples must behave. Schroeder signed a letter sent to the Iowa state legislature demanding that the legislators submit themselves to the power of Christian leaders.
The letter stated that Christian rules about marriage must be obeyed by everyone:
“Because God is God of all, there is no structural difference between religious and civil marriage. The essence of marriage remains the same in both the religious and civil realms. (Col. 1:15-19) The acknowledgement of, and reference to, marriage in the laws of our state and nation does not create a second realm of marriage that is somehow divorced from the only definition determined by God.”
Brad Schroeder is pastor of the Macedonia Assembly of God in Macedonia, Iowa…
… or at least he was in 2010. Records are spotty since then. The Trump for President campaign lists Schroeder as living in Story County, and Macedonia is in Pottawattamie County. Those counties are an hour-and-a-half or two-hour drive from one another, depending on how fast you drive.
Macedonia is a tiny town with just 267 residents.
Darin Sturtz is one of over 300 members of the Iowa Faith Leader Coalition, a shadowy network of Christian Nationalists who are doing everything they can to ensure that Donald Trump is elected President in 2024.
Their goal is not only to put Trump in office, but to use him as means to achieve their ultimate objective: To replace American democracy with a totalitarian Christian theocracy with Donald Trump at its head.

The Iowa Faith Leader Coalition is a radical political organization that violates the law
Let’s make it our business to become aware of the radical preachers who are members of the Coalition.
