Dear John,
Despite the positive gains made in the last election, the battle over truth continues to rage across our nation.
The good news is that we are now in a position to take back cultural ground that has been invaded by those advancing a dangerous and destructive ideology. But we have to act and act quickly.
One of the prime targets of the Left in the battle over truth has been the church. The Left is intent on silencing churches that preach and teach the word of God as it pertains to the great moral issues of our day.
Since passed in 1954, the Johnson Amendment has threatened churches with the loss of tax-exempt status if they speak out on political or cultural issues. The chilling effect has been devastating. Pastors hesitate to speak. Churches stay silent. And the family continues to suffer.
At Family Research Council, silence is never an option.
That's why we're championing the Free Speech Fairness Act, which will restore pastors' and churches' ability to speak freely and biblically -- especially when it comes to defending the family -- no matter who is in the White House.
And right now, you can help advance this mission -- and DOUBLE your impact -- thanks to a generous $1.5 million Challenge Match through the end of June.
As a thank-you for your gift, we'll send you our digital Family Prayer Guide -- a resource to help equip your home to stand strong in today's spiritual battle.
YES! DOUBLE MY IMPACT TO DEFEND THE FAMILY
This is about more than religious liberty. It's about reclaiming the prophetic voice of the church -- before it's too late.
Two weeks ago, we witnessed a bold and encouraging development: the Southern Baptist Convention -- America's largest Protestant denomination -- voted overwhelmingly to call for the repeal of the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell decision, which redefined marriage in America.
Why? Because they understand what's at stake.
As I discussed with former FRC staff member, pastor, and now Congressman Mark Harris on Washington Watch, once American courts abandoned the biblical definition of marriage, we opened a floodgate of confusion about gender, sexuality, and family itself. The moral chaos we see today -- men in women's sports, "gender identity" in public schools, and children being indoctrinated by the Left -- can all be traced back to this rejection of truth.
But now, praise God, a growing number of believers are reconnecting the dots -- and rising to speak out with clarity and conviction.
As Dr. Andrew Walker, chairman of the SBC Resolutions Committee, said:
"We really can't have room for debate on these fundamental issues like what is a man, what is a woman, what is marriage, what is family. These are moral claims grounded in truth."
FRC is on the front lines of this movement.
Your generous gift:
- Trains and equips pastors through our Association of Churches and Ministries
- Mobilizes churches to take action with Community Impact Teams
- Empowers families with biblical resources like our 21-Day Matthew Family Bible Challenge
- Exposes the lies of the culture through The Washington Stand and Washington Watch
- Advocates for pro-family legislation at the federal and state level
And through June, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar to defend the family and restore the church's voice in America.
GIVE NOW AND DOUBLE MY IMPACT
And don't forget -- you'll receive our exclusive digital Family Prayer Guide as a thank-you.
Acts 18:9 says, "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent."
It's time for the church to speak with boldness again. To proclaim the truth. To protect our children. And to defend the family as God designed it.
We're seeing a renewed courage rising in faithful believers across America. Let's keep that momentum going.
Will you stand with FRC today -- so together, we can equip churches, mobilize families, and reclaim our voice in the public square?
