If you don’t think protecting tiny school children from being slaughtered with military style assault weapons at their elementary school is a pro-life issue, will you at least consider re-considering? 2-But the 2nd amendment…

There were cheers when the US Sp Ct ruled in Dobbs that a right to abortion was not rooted in our nation’s history or tradition or explicitly enumerated in the Bill of Rights. I am among those pleased at the opportunity to protect all human life.

1- Lots of discussion about the Texas abortion situation. Genuinely pro-life people care about both women & unborn children. We are grateful for unborn children to be welcomed & protected AND support tangible support for pregnant moms—from both the public & private sectors. 2-Every serious person understands that a pregnant woman is carrying “a human life.” This is science.

Thread/ #FosterCare #MentalIllness #Homelessness #Opportunity #Jesus I had the chance to meet the sweetest, most polite, grateful young man a few days ago. He was discharging from a psychiatric hospital, was homeless, jobless and without a single healthy person in his whole life 2- he spent his whole childhood in foster care & was then dumped at a homeless shelter when he turned 19. He had nothing. No job, no permanent family, no money. Nothing. Life on the streets brought drugs, crime, sadness, wandering, despair, suicidality.

1- Thread #Life In my 25 years of leadership in the prolife moment at the state & national level, I’ve observed only a few things that have changed hearts & minds toward life re: abortion. One is personal experience with an ultrasound of an unborn child. They just didn’t realize 2-But seeing w/ their owns eyes a helpless & vulnerable unborn baby did something no slogan or political campaign ever could.

1/ Thread: Here are some reasons I think the TGC piece on the US Church and Orphan Crisis misses the mark in significant ways. I’ve been involved in the Christian orphan care, adoption & foster care moments for 20 years. I’ve testified before Congress on the subject, met hundreds

Thread: Modern Day Racism & White Evangelicals. Most white evangelicals I know would give a hearty amen to this statement by @BethMooreLPM without a thought as to the somewhat commonplace racist thoughts, words and actions that, tragically, continue to permeate our communities.

2/ In my experience, just my saying this would elicit rye rolls, scoffs, ‘get a grip’s reactions from many (maybe most) in my community. I’m going to give specific examples in this thread in effort to help those who genuinely don’t understand why this is a thing. Do not think

1/ #MentalHealth #Suicide #ParentPerspective #TeenSuicidality Just hung up phone with a family member of a teen girl who is suicidal. It’s a parent’s worst nightmare & it evokes pure terror. No one talks about it and parents often have no literal idea what to do. 2/ This thread is simply parent to parent support I wish I’d had. I share with full permission of my kids who share the belief that we want to comfort others with the comfort God gave us. (2 Cor)
