| by Suzanne Bowdey |
| Americans are having a literal field day calling woke companies on the carpet this summer. Their latest conquest - a corporation that arguably never should have been in this mess - is agricultural icon John Deere. Three weeks after their rural relatives at Tractor Supply Co. did a complete U-turn, disavowing their LGBT activism in a public apology, the famous green and yellow logo has not only felt the heat, it's seen the light. |

| Biden's Title IX Rewrite Rejected by 6th Circuit: Americans Are 'Standing Up' for Women |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| From the day it was announced, President Joe Biden's Title IX rewrite that allows biological men into private women's spaces caused a tsunami of backlash. Originally set to take effect in August, so far, the rewrite is now temporarily blocked from moving forward in at least 10 states - Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. And it seems the tide against the rewrite seems to have strengthened after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit decided on Wednesday to reject the Biden administration's new Title IX rule. |

| Outstanding - Ep. 116: A Christian Perspective on the Attempted Assassination of Donald Trump |
| Podcast with Joseph Backholm and Owen Strachan |
| Whether you love, hate, or tolerate him - the recent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has left many Americans stunned and questioning how this will impact the upcoming election. Host Joseph Backholm is joined by FRC's Senior Fellow Owen Strachan for a discussion on the biblical response to the almost fatal shot. If God wanted to end Donald Trump's life, he would have - but why did he allow another to take the bullet? Joseph and Owen unpack their raw reactions to hearing the news, the difference between coincidence and God ordained, and God's sovereignty ordaining evil for good. As Christians, we are not called to give up on the public square. May we trust our God is faithful and working on our behalf. |

| A Key to Unity in American Politics |
| by Jennifer Bauwens |
| As the calls for unity in this nation grow stronger, it is important to think about how this unity can be achieved. When I survey the U.S. social and political landscape, one key attribute I see missing is empathy. If we wish to be unified, we must learn to love the person with opposing views, even if we hate a policy or behavior that person is promoting. I'll use an example from my background in counseling. |

| Switzerland's New Suicide Pod Is Not the 'Solution' to Our Troubles. Christ Is. |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| For someone already questioning their life, fed up with the troubles of this world and looking for a way out, euthanasia seems a fitting route. But really, it's a tragedy, and one being heavily promoted in various parts of the world. A major culprit of this life-ending system is Switzerland, which recently brought attention to their soon-to-come "portable suicide pod," Sarco. In less than 10 minutes and at the cost of $20, this pod will rob you of your life. |
