I bristle slightly (ok, I bristle a lot) when conversations about fighting the #RespectForMarriageAct revolve around #religiousliberty issues. Why? Because what both our foes and our allies hear from religious Americans is, “If gay marriage passes, it will be bad for *me.*”
To which the world responds, “So the prob w gay marriage is, you might have to...bake a cake?? Deal with it, bigot.”

No one's interested in fighting SS marriage (or the myriad other ways the Left is redefining family) if it’s just about minimizing discomfort of religious adults.
But that's how all these conversations come across. Not exactly the approach that will fortify wobbly-kneed Senators or citizens to stand against a cultural onslaught.

Instead, we must forcefully highlight the child-harms of marriage redefinition.
We need to give Senators (and all citizens) someone to fight FOR. That someone is not the cake-baker or the florist. That someone is children. We need to make the direct connection (which is easy) between redefining marriage and motherless/fatherless kids. washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-amer…
The focus can't be on the rights of religious adults (which is clearly under attack). That tactic lost us #Obergefell. It will lose us the (laughably-named) #RespectForMarriageAct act as well. We have to fight smart, b/c they're not stopping at marriage. washex.am/3QSu1Q6

Phoenix Ikner shot 8 people at FSU this week.

Media blames guns.

But here’s what they skip: his parents spent 16 years in a bitter custody battle, his mom abducted him to Norway, and he changed his name to escape it all.

Broken homes are the common thread in mass shooters. 🧵 Image

"Someone inappropriately touched my daughter."

A step by step guide for parents.🧵
1/17
My husband and I have been in ministry since college—three decades of walking with families. In that time, we’ve observed and helped parents navigate the gut-wrenching moment when they discover their child—often their daughter—has been touched by an older boy.
2/17
Sometimes the child tells the parents. Sometimes they find out another way. The universal response is guilt, anger, and fear that their child will be scarred for life. The stakes feel high.

After consulting with several child psychologists, this is what we now tell parents.

1/ Wherever Christians went, children’s lives got better.

They fought abuse, ended deadly customs, and transformed entire cultures to protect the vulnerable.

Here’s a thread of Christians who changed history by protecting children. And how kids are victimized today.🧵 Image
2/ Amy Carmichael rescued thousands of girls from temple prostitution in India. She founded the Dohnavur Fellowship, a safe home and school that gave these children dignity, education, and a future. Image
3/ Mary Slessor saved hundreds of twins in Nigeria from being killed due to tribal superstition. She adopted many, raised them as her own, and helped change local attitudes toward children and women. Image

A female Aslan may seem like just the latest bit of woke nonsense, but it points to something deeper—and more dangerous.

It’s not just about Narnia.
It’s an attempt to feminize Jesus. 🧵 Image
2.
Aslan isn’t just a character; he’s not just a lion. C.S. Lewis intentionally crafted him to represent Christ.

“In your world I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name.” Image
3.
Feminism says there’s no real difference between men and women. So they steal Aslan’s strength, courage, and authority—and pretend those traits were feminine all along. It’s not about honoring Lewis or Christ. It’s about rewriting truth to fit ideology. Image

Pitching their sob story to a variety of outlets. Beware when stories frame adults who do not get what they want as victims. As always the *children* are the true victims. A few things to note here: 🧵 nypost.com/2025/03/02/wor…
The UK allows altruistic surrogacy, which means women can be reimbursed (often significantly) for "pregnancy expenses" and yet, no woman wanted to be their surrogate… Red flag anyone? So they hired a surrogate abroad. Unlike adoption, there's no screening/background checks.
“The children aren’t able to meet their grandparents.”

OH, I SEE! It's important that the children meet the unrelated parents of the men who purchased them, but not their own biological mother?? Manipulation at its finest.
