Dave Pellowe founded Church And State ministries in 2016, a nationwide movement equipping Christians to be public salt and light: redeeming the culture, discipling the debate and advocating for righteousness in government.

The Guardian is terrified of One Nation, and believes the conservative Senator Malcolm Roberts is a soft target to whip up fear and smear with false accusations and slander. I've published the above video with the questions and answers they're quoting, along with some other ones which will trigger...
We have a national crisis of faith in Australian churches. You have to hear the evidence and data in this sermon supporting the conclusion that only 5.8% of church-going Christians hate the shedding of innocent blood like God does. 16 out of 17 Christians don't care enough to even change their...
Todd Weatherly, senior leader of 'Field of Dreams" church in Adelaide, South Australia, introduces Dave Pellowe, founder of the ministry 'Church And State', to teach on The Political Wisdom of Solomon. After covering what every pastor should preach at every election, and what every Christian...
The Church in Australia prays routinely for revival, but while our hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, which is more likely: revival, or judgement? Hear me out. It’s one week today until the anniversary of legalised abortion-for-any-reason in Australia. 57 years ago, on 26 May 1969, the...
ca5.au/stopsupportingabortion The LNP is now advancing Labor’s abortion agenda. Not rhetorically. In policy. The Queensland Health Termination of Pregnancy Action Plan 2032 — Labor's strategy to increase abortions — is being actively supported by the LNP government. If you want that stopped, add...
Every Christian Voter Has a Line They Cannot Cross Every Christian should be anti-abortion. There is no excuse for supporting a candidate who is not committed to ending it. Not reducing it. Not managing it. Ending it. This is the standard that must shape Christian political engagement—and it is...
The following summary of the video above is by CAS News. The credibility of the Church in the public square is inseparable from its integrity behind closed doors. If Christians want to hold governments accountable, then the Church itself must first become a place of genuine accountability,...
This sermon is a prophetic call for the Church in Queensland — and across Australia — to recover its responsibility in the public square. The central argument is that the condition of a nation reflects the condition of its pulpits. When churches burn with righteousness, nations flourish. When...
Yesterday I wrote about the radical Islam dilemma — the way our political class collapses into moral panic the moment someone asks how exactly we are meant to distinguish between "good Muslims" vs "radical Muslims" in immigration policy terms. And the President of Turkey has done something rather...
“Even Barnaby is not defending Pauline on her ridiculous statement that there are no good Muslims. One Nation is not the answer.” I consider Matt Canavan a friend, but I don’t think he’s being very sincere with his characterisation of Pauline Hanson’s comments. It comes as no surprise that Senator...
Civil and sincere debate is certainly the strength of liberal democracy. It's ironic that at the centre of this particular fracas is the freedom of speech in Australia, so serially threatened by the major parties. I appreciate my good friend Peter's pushback against my article excoriating Andrew...
Andrew Hastie MP just posted a screen shot of his social media reply to some criticism which makes it very hard to believe he’s on the side of authentic Christians, conservatives or common sense. I’ve watched, bemused, as conservatives and couch commentators have been trumpeting the triumphs of...
This is a prophetic update for Australian Christians. I was asked to speak on what it means to understand the times we live in and what the nation should do. Like the sons of Issachar, God’s people must know what is happening in our nation and what we ought to do. In this message I address some of...
Sometimes a statement matters not because it is carefully phrased, but because it refuses to participate in a lie. Daniel Lewkovitz’s recent X post addressed to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is one such statement. It is not a party-political intervention. It is a moral objection — and it...
According to The Australian, Queensland’s Liberal National Party is under threat from a sinister “pro-life takeover plot.” That’s the headline. And like so many headlines these days, it says far more about the journalists who wrote it than the situation they claim to describe. What actually...
The historian who says “There really is a Santa Claus” Most of us grew up with a cartoon version of Christmas: a jolly man in a red suit at the North Pole, flying reindeer, elves, and a vaguely “pagan” Christmas tree that serious Christians are allegedly supposed to frown at. William J. Federer,...
Senator Pauline Hanson attracted international attention this week by wearing a black burqa into the Senate chamber after her colleagues barred her from even moving a bill to ban face coverings. Labor’s Senator Wong accused Senator Hanson of disrespecting people of faith, meaning Muslims. Anne...

Andrew Gray sits down with Dave Pellowe to answer the question, "How to Save Australia?" He's a deep thinker and an experienced leader whose answers to big questions are easy to appreciate for both clarity and conviction. He's also the host of "The Man Show w/ Andrew Gray", proudly syndicated on...
Dave Pellowe sits down with George Christensen — former MP for Dawson and now Australian Coordinator for CitizenGo — for one of the most powerful conversations yet on The Church and State Show. Forget waiting for a “political saviour.” George explains how ordinary Australians can have more power...
I’ve been teaching Christians about pursuing righteous government in Australia for at least 15 years. God called me into doing this full time after the 2016 federal election and I started immediately, launching a video show in 2017 and annual Church And State conferences in 2018. Everything lost...
In 2016 Malcolm Turnbull colluded to benefit the Greens by abolishing “Group Voting Tickets”. The Liberal and National Coalition, with the support of the Greens, removed the power for voters to delegate decisions about their vote to their preferred political party. The Coalition’s goal was to...
This video was recorded at the CAS Adelaide 2025 conference, "Seeking God for South Australia" on 11 October 2025, preparing Christian voters to approach the coming state election motivated by love of neighbour and decide how the state's governance should go - their voting preferences - by...
