Miracle Hill Ministries in South Carolina is one of that state's oldest and largest foster care providers, gladly serving every child it can. The ministry is also faith-based, and reflects its beliefs in the way it operates. In the closing hours of the Obama administration, HHS had issued a regulation that threatened to violate the religious freedom of such faith-based groups. This eventually happened, and in 2018 Miracle Hill was threatened with the loss of federal funding unless it modified its beliefs and the way it operated. But by that time, the Trump administration had since taken power, and HHS granted Miracle Hill a waiver from the requirements.

Today's show features: Two eyewitness accounts of Wednesday's demonstrations from outside of the Capitol; Mary Beth Waddell, FRC's Senior Legislative Assistant, on HHS's final rule relieving burdens on faith-based organizations participating in HHS grant programs; Jacob Reaume, Pastor of Trinity Bible Chapel in Ontario, on the charges that he and the other church elders are facing for holding a church service; Dr. Glenn S. Sunshine, Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University and Senior Faculty Member of the Colson Fellows, on how the civil disobedience of churches meeting in the midst of COVID restrictions vastly differs from the violent breach witnessed in the Capitol on Wednesday.
