“Much to my chagrin, God invaded my life in a personal way. I tried to ignore it, tried to run away from it. I even thought something was wrong with me—that I was going through some weird phase,” Powers told me. “But over time it became clear that a relationship with God wasn’t a choice. It was just real.”
One reason people in Washington aren’t always quick to talk about their faith, Powers says, is that “Christians don’t have a great reputation … If you were to say to someone, ‘I’m an evangelical’ or ‘I’m born again,’ that carries heavy political baggage here. People think you must have supported the Iraq War, or be against women’s rights, or hate gay people. But none of those things describe me.”
