{{cquote|Francis Collins has been an especially successful envoy for the Biden administration, delivering messages to a mostly-[[Republican]], [[Christian]] populace who would otherwise be reluctant to hear them. In their presentation of Collins’ expertise, these [[pastor|pastors]] and leaders suggested that questioning his explanations as to the origins of [[CCP virus|the virus]] or the efficacy of masks was not simply a point of disagreement but [[sin|sinful]]. This was a charge likely to have a great deal of impact on churchgoers who strive to live lives in accordance with godly standards. Perhaps no other argument could’ve been more persuasive to this demographic.

Both Collins and Stetzer were hardly shy about the fact that they were asking ministers to act as [[Biden administration|the administration’s]] go-between with their congregants.
