I met Todd Akin about 25 years ago before he ever became a public official. His values and lifestyle have been a source of encouragement to me from that day until this — as a trusted friend, businessman, candidate elected to the Missouri House of Representatives, and as United States Congressman. His core values include ever supporting the saving the lives of unborn children and ever opposed to the expansion of legalized gaming. I have done radio with Todd Akin on these and other topics perhaps 40 times.
On May 17, 2011, the day that Congressman Akin made his 11:00 AM public announcement to be a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Missouri, that same day he again was my radio guest at 1:30 PM to communicate his decision with our listeners.
About his family who are also followers of Jesus: Todd and wife Lulli have six children, all home schooled and having the values of their parents, three of whom graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and who became marines, each of the three deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan to serve in defense of our county, one narrowly escaping death when a explosive landed at his feet…but, thankfully, did not explode.
Not widely known is that Todd Akin may be the most knowledgeable expert in Congress regarding our nation’s Godly heritage. Being aware of our spiritual roots, where we have been, should certainly be helpful in better knowing where we need to go.
