| GOP Experts Warn Candidates to Stop Treating Abortion 'Like a Hot Stove' They Won't Touch |
| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Nobody likes a wimp - and on the issue of abortion, the Republican Party has plenty of them. After the Dobbs ruling put the issue back in legislators' hands, a shocking number of GOP candidates spent the 2022 and 2023 elections cowering in the collective corner, hoping voters would take their silence as confirmation that they had a reasonable position on life (despite the Democrats' 24/7 ads to the contrary). Now, staring down a high-stakes November where this issue has the potential to upend all of the GOP's momentum, more voices are urging the party to get off the sidelines and fight. |

| Circuit Court Allows Alabama to Enforce Law Protecting Minors from Gender Transitions |
| by Joshua Arnold |

| Nations Must Provide 'an Uninterrupted Supply of' Trans Hormones and Surgeries: WHO Guidelines |
| by Ben Johnson |
| The team drawing up guidelines for how doctors around the world should view transgender injections and surgeries consists of numerous radical transgender activists, an author who popularizes the term "genderf*ck" in a forthcoming book of "academic smut," and someone who advised the United Nations that countries should provide an "uninterrupted supply of ... medical [hormone therapy] and gender-affirmative surgeries for trans people." Many of the "experts" have no medical expertise, and the majority of those with any medical experience belong to a group that advocates transgender surgeries and medical interventions for children as young as 10. |

| Outstanding - Ep. 63: Nancy Pearcey on Toxic Masculinity |
| Podcast with Joseph Backholm and Nancy Pearcey |
| There is a war on men that is affecting their development, behaviors, and priorities. They are being taught that their inherent nature does not fit within a biblical ethic. Nancy Pearcey, professor, and author of "The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes", joins host Joseph Backholm to discuss the cultural shift in the definition of masculinity.

With men no longer working alongside their wives and children and instead competing with other men for work, a mindset shift happened that would eventually lead to the term "toxic masculinity". Listen now to learn more about what influenced this change! |

| 'God Made Trump' Appeals to a Christian Nationalism Foreign to the Bible |
| by David Closson |
| After months of campaigning, debating, and politicking, the 2024 election is officially underway. While political pundits and prognosticators focus their analysis of the Iowa caucus on which of the Republican candidates - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Donald Trump, and Vivek Ramaswamy - can sustain their campaigns into the New Hampshire primary, a widely distributed viral video (and one campaign's embrace of its messaging) provides an opportunity for thoughtful Christian reflection about the interplay between politics and faith. |

| Birzeit University is a Palestinian school in the West Bank that considers itself a "thorn in the side of the occupation."
