College of the Ozarks is facing anti-religious hostility from the Biden administration, simply for standing firm on their beliefs concerning marriage and sexuality.

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, the abortion lobby has been hard at work to deceive Americans about abortion. They want the nation to embrace the destructive lies that women never regret choosing abortion over life, and that women could be prosecuted for seeking treatment for ectopic pregnancies and other life-threatening conditions. Pro-abortion activists want you to believe that abortion is good for women. But this could not be further from the truth. We know some pregnant women face very difficult circumstances—and they deserve better options than abortion. Abortion comes with a high risk ...

Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith. Yet that’s precisely what’s happening to Jessica Bates—a mother of five who is seeking to adopt and care for a sibling pair. Oregon is flat-out rejecting Jessica’s application for failing to “meet the adoption home standards.” In other words, she won’t tell boys they can be girls and girls they can be boys, take children to events like Pride parades, or facilitate a child’s access to potentially ...

It all began when Bank of America, one of the world’s largest banks sent abrupt notices to a Memphis-based church and Indigenous Advance, one of its ministry partners. The bank said they were closing their accounts and even the ministry’s credit cards. And they both had only 30 days to switch to a new bank. Bank of America didn’t even give a specific reason. All it said was that it simply no longer wanted to serve the ministries’ “business type” and that Indigenous Advance has exceeded the banks “risk tolerance.” But Indigenous Advance isn’t ideological or partisan. And it’s had the same ...

Coach David Bloch has given so much to the snowboarding program at Woodstock Union High School (WUHS) in Vermont. As the founder of the program, he has invested countless hours in student athletes. But none of that mattered when Coach Bloch respectfully shared his beliefs regarding gender with two athletes—and became the latest American punished for acknowledging biological reality. Before a competition pitting the WUHS girls’ snowboarding team against a team that included a male, two student athletes were discussing the issue. Coach Bloch overheard the conversation and simply spoke to the ...

Novel. Unprecedented. Staggering. These words have all been used to describe a federal appeals court decision that said Colorado officials can force artist Lorie Smith to create custom designs and promote messages that violate her beliefs. Lorie left the corporate design world to start her own design studio, 303 Creative, in 2012 so she could promote causes consistent with her beliefs and close to her heart, such as supporting children with disabilities, the beauty of marriage, overseas missions, animal shelters, and veterans. She was excited to expand her portfolio to create websites that ...

Believers in Christ have a great commission—to “go and make disciples of all nations”—a charge to tell others of God’s wonderful grace and the invitation to follow Him. But around the world, our brothers and sisters in Christ are paying the ultimate price to follow Jesus and proclaim the truth. They’re facing extreme persecution, often including imprisonment and death. With boldness, we can stand for their rights to religious freedom and free speech, so that the good news of the Gospel may continue to be preached openly, and without fear of government punishment. If you stand with us, you help ...

Could a church or a ministry near you be in danger of losing access to its financial accounts? For this Memphis-based church and ministry, it happened so abruptly. Without warning or explanation, Bank of America sent a letter to Indigenous Advance Ministries to notify them that its accounts were being closed. The ministry provides aid to impoverished orphans, widows, youth, and other at-risk populations in Uganda. The bank also targeted Servants of Christ church, which partners with the ministry. Bank of America told them they had 30 days to find a new bank and switch, and just a few weeks ...
