With Newt Gingrich making a run for president, Renewing American Leadership (ReAL) Action is getting a new leader.
ReAL has appointed Jim Garlow, author, communicator, commentator, historian, cultural observer and senior pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in San Diego, as its new chairman. Garlow will also serve as chair of its educational affiliate ReAL.
“Although we do not endorse any candidate, we are proud of Mr. Gingrich’s decision to continue his service to this nation and we vow to carry on the work that he inspired,” Garlow said.
Due to federal election laws, Gingrich has stepped aside from all involvement with both ReAL Action and ReAL. Garlow vowed that the organizations would remain “fiercely committed” to defending the values of family, faith, freedom and free enterprise in America.
Garlow founded and led the California Pastors Rapid Response Team, a group of several thousand pastors that was committed to preserving the traditional, natural definition of marriage as being one man, one woman, which recently experienced a victorious campaign with Proposition 8 receiving over 7 million votes, 52.3 percent of the vote.
Garlow’s voice is heard daily on more than 800 radio outlets nationwide in his one-minute historical commentary called “The Garlow Perspective.” He also airs a 30-minute broadcast called “The Garlow Perspective Special.”
