Dear John,
A little while ago, USA Today named State Representative Leigh Finke (DFL-St. Paul) as its Woman of the Year for Minnesota. That’s quite an honor!
There’s just one problem, John - Leigh Finke is a man.
Honoring a man for posing as a woman is an insult to women. It’s also a lie to this man – who will never be a woman, never truly resemble a woman, and will always be at war with his own body and biology as long as he thinks he is a woman.
We are battling this radical, extreme ideology in the political, policy, and cultural arenas, and we need your help – please DONATE TODAY to help us reach our goal for May!
This is where the battle is being fought in our culture right now - progressives are normalizing and celebrating the rejection of God’s good design for gender and sexuality. It’s a battle that affects our children, our future, and not least, the lives of those who embrace this lifestyle that leads to emptiness. It’s a battle between those who will acknowledge reality (that men are men, and women are women - no exceptions), and those who will deny reality, with devastating and far-reaching consequences.
Sadly, after this legislative session, much more must be done in Minnesota to fight the lie. Representative Finke himself has attempted to move the needle in the wrong direction, with bills that would put children in state custody if their parents refused to subject their children harmful “gender-affirming care” (passed and signed into law), as well as a bill that would decriminalize knowingly spreading HIV (did not pass).
Much more needs to be done to reverse these bad policies and turn this state around. Much more needs to be done to elect officials who recognize God’s design – both in next year’s primaries and general elections.
Most importantly, more needs to be done to protect children, point people to Truth, and celebrate God’s design in the Church and in our culture.
We have a ways to go to meet our May goal, and we need your help as we turn the corner from the legislative session and build an agenda to transform Minnesota into a state that honors God and His good design for our lives. Please consider a $25, $50, $100 gift – or whatever the Lord is leading you to do – TODAY!
Minnesota Family Council is committed to a big, bold agenda for our state, and we are committed to victory - we’re even more committed after the events of this legislative season. We know that victory, however, will take significant resources as we work to transform Minnesota into a place where God is honored, where life is cherished, and where God’s design for marriage and sexuality is honored and lived.
Your support helps us fight for God’s design across the political, policy, legal, and culture arenas. You can make a tax-deductible gift by clicking here, and a non-deductible gift that goes directly to our frontline policy and advocacy efforts, by clicking here.
John, this is your chance to be part of the movement that will transform Minnesota with the Gospel, protecting children at every stage of life, and protecting God’s design for the good of ALL Minnesotans and the glory of Jesus Christ. Will you take it?
Finally, let's remember God loves to pour out His grace on sinners like you and me. No one is beyond the reach of His love and redemption. That's part of the reason we're called to treat each other with love and respect, even those with whom we fundamentally and passionately disagree. We are commanded to love our opponents with the love of Christ - will you please pray with me for Rep. Finke and all those whose minds have been darkened by the god of this world, that they may come to see “the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:4) through faith in Him?
Praying with you,
