| PERKINS: The Epstein Storm That Won't Blow Over |
| by Tony Perkins |
| Have you ever comforted yourself - or someone else - with the old adage, "The storm will blow over"? Most storms do. Unless they don't. Then it's not a storm - it's a disaster. I've seen that more than once in my home state of Louisiana. |

| AI Cannot Replace the Church |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way, but one thing it will never be able to do is replace the core functions of the church, which unites individual Christians together into the body of Christ. Although it can be a useful tool in certain situations, AI lacks the one critical ingredient necessary for Christian growth and discipleship: a human soul that reflects the image of God. |

| Why Does Corruption Cling to Politics? |
| by Joshua Arnold |
| Recent corruption scandals across multiple continents, with all sorts of perpetrators, serve as a sad reminder that corruption is a ubiquitous hazard in politics. It can break out in any government, from any person, at any time. Why does corruption cling so closely to politics? Because politicians and their associates have the power to achieve the selfish desires that are found everywhere. |

| FRC President Tony Perkins Inducted into Roaring Lambs Hall of Fame |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Nearly half a century ago, a modest Bible study in a Dallas country club sparked a movement dedicated to this mission: empowering Christians to amplify their faith. Roaring Lambs Ministries (RLM) seeks to raise up roaring lambs, namely, those who boldly share their faith and proclaim the name of Christ. Spearheaded by Garry Kinder in 1980, the ministry has grown from intimate workshops to broad outreach, equipping Christians to share their testimony with clarity and courage. Its crowning tradition, the Roaring Lambs Hall of Fame, celebrates those who have run the race with enduring faithfulness. This year, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins joins their ranks. |

| 'Respect the Nature of the Human Person': Catholic Bishops Officially Ban Gender Transition Procedures |
| by S.A. McCarthy |
| America's Catholic bishops have passed a measure formally barring Catholic hospitals from conducting gender transition procedures. Members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) voted on Wednesday to approve updates to the "Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services," the formal set of moral guidelines governing the Catholic practice of health care, in accord with the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. One of the updates included formally creating a policy forbidding Catholic hospitals and health care providers to conduct gender transition procedures. |

| The United Nations System and the Lifelines to Cuba |
| by Yoe Suarez |
| Is there any international organization that has done more to bolster the Cuban socialist tyranny than the United Nations (U.N.)? I know it's politically incorrect to say that it's unwise to stop speaking there about the true situation on the island. After all, there have also been condemnations from the U.N. platform, and so on and so forth. The reasons are as many as the list of fools who annually advocate for lifting sanctions against the Cuban totalitarian state. I get it. |

| One Thing Both Parties Agree On: Free Speech Is Heading in the Wrong Direction |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| Whether they call themselves Republicans, Democrats, or Independents, a significant number of Americans believe free speech is heading in the wrong direction. A survey conducted by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) found that Americans' view of free speech has gone significantly downhill since this past summer - at the same time as recent events like the assassination of Christian and conservative commentator Charlie Kirk have suggested growing political divides. |
