Rep. Mark Alford, who represents Missouri’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, posted a series of messages on his social media account on October 5 and 6, 2025, addressing topics ranging from faith to ongoing political disputes in Washington.
In a post dated October 5, Alford wrote, "The mustard seed, though tiny, is a symbol of living, growing faith that can produce immense results. Even the smallest faith, when put into action, carries great power. Jesus said mustard-seed faith can move what looks unmovable. Don’t wait for 'bigger' faith—trust Him today," referencing religious themes and encouraging followers to act on their beliefs.
Later the same day, Alford commented on the federal government shutdown with another message: "Day 5 of the Schumer Shutdown. On this Sunday, I’m praying Democrats find some common sense, finally put the American people above their political games."
