Unwoke: How Can Christians Respond to Conspiracy Theories?
In our new video series, Unwoke, Communications Director Moses Bratrud and other MFC staff and guests tackle tough questions that Christians are asking, like what the Constitution really has to say about the separation of church and state. These videos are meant to be a resource for Christians, particularly young people, who want a straight answer to the questions facing us today. In upcoming episodes, we'll deal with helping young people with gender dysphoria (next week), with more biblical answers to tough questions coming in the following weeks.
To make sure you get these great resources right when they drop, click here to subscribe to Minnesota Family Council on YouTube.
In this week's episode, we're talking about how Christians should respond to conspiracy theories, and how to respond to family and friends who believe them. Watch now!
Our IN-PERSON Summer Leadership Camp is Open for Registration!
Does your teen know how to separate truth from lies in the public arena?
LEAD, a summer camp for future culture-shapers created by Minnesota Family Council, recognizes that we need strong Christians in every area of culture. Our teens are the next generation of politicians, doctors, lawyers, writers, moms and dads. Lead was created for the purpose of equipping the next generation to be salt and light in a culture that celebrates death and teaches moral relativity. LEAD empowers teens to change the world by equipping them to fight for life, family, and religious freedom with biblical conviction.
Hear what LEAD alumni (’18) Ethan Korte has to say about his experience at LEAD:
If you go to any camp this summer, go to LEAD. It is literally a life changing experience. I went without any interest and absolutely loved it. I met some of my best friends though this camp, and it changed my perspective on Christian leadership. The worldview and life skills I learned through LEAD have been amazing. Please check them out!
Give your teens the gift of leadership this summer so that they will rise up to be winsome voices of truth in our culture. Sign up now! Early bird registration
Life is Winning: States Have Passed 61 Pro-Life Laws in 2021!
President Biden has demonstrated a radical commitment to advancing the abortion lobby’s agenda during his first 100 days in office, but on the state level, the pro-life movement has been making major strides! Over 500 pro-life bills have been introduced across 46 states since January of this year. Of those, 61 have been signed into law, and abortion activists are worried.The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute writes, “If this trend continues, 2021 will end up as the most damaging antiabortion state legislative session in a decade—and perhaps ever.” In just four days last week, 28 pro-life laws were signed in seven different states!
The Guttmacher Institute compared this year’s wave of pro-life legislation with 2011, the year they previously considered the most devastating to the abortion industry since abortion was legalized in all 50 states. By this time in 2011, 42 pro-life laws had been signed.
This year’s pro-life laws include bans on abortions that target babies with disabilities,protections for babies who survive abortions, bans on late-term abortions, heartbeat laws that protect babies from abortion once a heartbeat is detectable, state-level regulations of chemical abortions, and proposed amendmentsto state constitutionsclarifying that there is no “right” to abortion. In addition to laws directly aimed at stopping abortion, the pro-life movement has advanced legislationto support women facing unplanned pregnancies, to require that the remains of abortion victims be treated with dignity instead of being disposed of as medical waste, and to hold the abortion industry accountable.
These laws are a reminder that elections matter! Pro-life laws are the result of pro-life voters electing pro-life lawmakers. And because of these laws, babies will be protected, the abortion industry will be held accountable, and the horrifying reality of abortion is being exposed.
NOW OPEN: Our Annual Dinner on June 3rd - REGISTER NOW
Get ready: June 3rd, 2021.
Join us on June 3rd in Bloomington for our 2021 Annual Dinner. We’re looking forward to an exciting and inspiring evening that will encourage us all to continue shining the light of truth into our darkening culture With All Boldness. We’re excited to welcome Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds as our keynote speaker to share her inspiring story, show us how our neighbors to the south are fighting for life, family, and religious freedom, and sharpen our vision to rebuild a foundation of godly leadership in Minnesota.
Governor Walz and the Minnesota Legislature will be making important decisions over the next two weeks that will impact our kids and families. The Minnesota Senate passed school choice initiatives including expansion of the education tax credit and deduction giving parents greater access to non-public schools and supplemental education services. The Senate also passed legislation to create Education Savings Accounts for students to attend a non-public school of choice.
But the fight isn't over. Governor Walz opposes expanding school choice for kids in need. Now more than ever with the COVID-19 pandemic, we need to give our kids access to schools that fit their needs. One size does not fit all!
Join school choice advocates from around Minnesota and let Governor Walz know we need school choice options NOW!
