It feels like we are in the midst of a virtual #CivilWar. Left vs right. Love #Trump vs hate Trump. Woke vs un-woke.

We drink from two completely different news sources, and increasingly surround ourselves only with allies, making it easy to view the “other side” as the enemy. 1
Families are fractured when ideological fault lines are exposed.

Friendships end after sharing voting records.

Disagreements tend to be virtual, explosive and via anonymous avatars.

There seems to be no forum or institution where the two sides come together in peace. 2
Except the church.

Those who view Trump as the greatest threat & those who believe he’s what stands between America and socialism dine together weekly.

Those who protest and those who refuse to march citing the Marxist tenants of #BLM pick up items for each other at Costco. 3
Those who experience racial profiling sit in the pew next to the officer who was urinated on during his shift the night before.

Those who see America as endemically racist & those who see America as the greatest hope for the world stand side by side and sing “In Christ Alone.” 4
Because they’ve rejoiced when the other has rejoiced & mourned when the other has mourned, their hearts are knit together. When talking politics, they are “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” The result is moderated positions and increased empathy. 5
#Thechurch, which insists that we both worship God alone and love one another despite our differences, just may save our nation. 6

How did the Gaines' fall so far?

The same way many Christians do.

They allowed relationships to shape their theology when it should be the exact opposite. As a result, children are victimized.

My latest @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2025/07/17/chi…
In my 30 years of ministry, I’ve seen pastors, small group leaders, BSF teachers, and decades-long faithful pew-sitters begin to slide almost always because someone close to them identifies as LGBT. Whether it’s a child, sibling, neighbor, or friend, the ultimatum is clear: affirm me, or affirm God’s truth. You have to choose.
When those in our innermost circle openly defy God’s righteous decrees and we offer no objection, we take the first step down a slippery moral slope. The bottom of that slope is often full apostasy. Because if you cannot trust God’s verifiably objective and beneficial standards concerning gender, sex, and marriage, why would you trust the harder to verify claims like the resurrection, virgin birth, and his promise to come again to judge the living and the dead?

Gay marriage has a hidden cost and children are paying the price

It's time for the Supreme Court to reverse Obergefell vs. Hodges. 🧵 Image
Ten years ago, a great injustice was done to children.

In Obergefell v. Hodges, the Court treated as equal two things that for kids never will be: opposite-sex and same-sex marriage.

One aims to unite children with both parents. The other separates them from one or both. Image
Gay marriage hasn’t led to greater love for LGBTQ adults but rather greater harm to children.

It eroded children’s right to their mother and father.

When you make husbands and wives legally optional in marriage, mothers and fathers become legally optional in parenthood. Image

Glenn Greenwald’s sex tape leaked. Within hours, right-wing elites raced to defend him.

Candace Owens. Megyn Kelly. Charlie Kirk, among others.

When progressives do this, they denounce.

But Glenn is “on our side.”

🧵Let’s talk about the cost of conservative hypocrisy.
Megyn Kelly slammed Biden’s non-binary official Sam Brinton for being a “diversity hire” when he was caught stealing luggage.

No pass. No nuance.

But a gay journalist who sometimes sides w conservatives? Big pass, because he's a "friend of many years."
Owens condemned Kevin Spacey,
Andrew Gillum, Lil Nas X, asking
"Why has 'oh, but I'm gay' become a default excuse for immorality?"

But there's no critique of Greenwald's behavior, just that he is "one of the most important and honest voices of our time."

Despite @TimTebow's statements, fathers are NOT the most likely to sexually victimize children.

Why being raised by their biological father is one of the safest places a child can be 🧵
Tebow wrote, “where the relationship between the victim & the offender was known to law enforcement, fathers were the highest category of offender”.

He gave the impression that a child’s own father is the most dangerous person in their life, which isn’t true. Image
Let’s look at the source he cites:
the Federal Sentencing of Child Pornography: Production Offenses (October 2021).

It distinguishes between bio fathers and other categories.

Of victimizers it finds:
•Biological Parent: 18.2%
•Stepparent/Guardian/Parent’s Partner: 14.2% Image

Facts about mother-loss, father-loss and divorce that progressives want to bury but never will- from my interview with @jordanbpeterson 🧵

1. Kids don't want a "mother figure" they want their mother.

"30 years later, the impact of her absence is still felt every day."Image
2. Maternal separation after birth inflicts a #primalwound.

"I have a terrible feeling of loss, longing, pain in my heart towards the unknown mother [I never] ever met."Image
3. A butch woman cannot be a father.

Girl raised by lesbians heartbroken watching her friend dance with her adoptive father.

"I was deprived… each time I went [to the school square dances] with my loving, masculine, adoptive, mother, I felt sad during those car rides home."Image

The Conservative, Pro-Life Case Against Surrogacy 🧵 Image
First, surrogacy critique must stem from defending the child. Bioethics and feminist opposition is strong, but can fall flat when all parties — the egg seller, surrogate, and commissioning parents — all love and consent to the arrangement. Image
A conservative position rejects surrogacy based on the self-evident, natural rights of the child:

• Right to life
• Right to their mother and father
• Right to be born free and not bought and sold.

The child never consent to the intentional loss of his or her mother. Image
