Episode 41: Back 2 Basics
The Faith In Politics Podcast
Faith In Politics dusts your Civics hat off and empowers you with New Orleans civic information with a flair of faith. Let’s question the status quo, dig a little deeper to find the truth and rebuild our Faith In Politics while looking through a lens of morals and values. Do we remember those? Too many have lost their Faith In Politics and don’t participate in our civic process unfortunately. Let’s educate ourselves, share viable solutions, speak truth to power, create effective change and pray together. The people have the power yet somehow we forgot. When we are confident in our facts, engaged in the process, we stand on those facts and require accountability from our elected leaders. Yet if we don’t know the game, how can we referee from a far? While working the recall for 7 months, I listened to many residents and learned a lot about what residents actually know and while working 3 years in city communications, I learned a lot about what residents think they know. Residents need to do our own digging because even our news can be skewed at times. I’m a registered Independent so I’m coming from a purple point of view - no red or blue - JUST PEOPLE and FACTS. So between the New Orleans Civics 101 facts you didn’t know you needed (offered by email or text notifications) to solution based online group chats or in person brainstorming - Lets’ work together to rebuild our Faith In Politics while loving our neighbor. When I grew up in New Orleans, we felt like a family of neighborhoods. Katrina and Ida did a two-step on us and we have been resilient. Yet it’s time for New Orleans second line into THRIVING not just surviving. FIP Lagniappe Fact: Did you know New Orleans has a strong-mayor system of government? Well, WE DO! If you don’t know what that means, you definitely need to tap in with Faith In Politics Today by signing up for our weekly emails or texts. We are all in this together...

Episode 39: Open Your Eyes December 9, 2025
New Orleans has been in a slumber — and it’s time to wake up.
This episode confronts what many have ignored for too long:
• The spiritual battle playing out in our streets
• The visible economic downturn in hotels and office buildings
• And the heavy responsibilities of the City Council Budget Committee
From what we see in the natural to what’s happening in the spiritual, the message is clear — it’s beyond time to pay real attention.

Your Host
Eileen Carter began a radio show in 2013 on WBOK called the Good Life. In 2017, she left on a hiatus & became the 1st social media manager of New Orleans (2018-2021) & then the Lord called her number. Life definitely changed as she accepted her calling. When you are called, you are called. And those that know, know & the call to speak up is back. So "Faith in Politics" is birthed, ten years later in 2023. Eileen grew up in a very Catholic political family in New Orleans that had relationships in the DNC from the local to the national level & she always just followed along. Well, when you mix community activism with the Holy Spirit, you get more than what you bargained. Don't try to box her in, it doesn't work anymore. She left the Catholic faith in 2015 and was saved and baptized and recently left the Democratic Party. Eileen is a registered Independent & a Christian Believer in Jesus Christ. Break out of what you thought you knew like she did. If you want to support $FaithInPolitics
