In the Show-Me State of Missouri, a place known for its straight-shooting politics and no-nonsense approach, Republican Senator Mike Moon has been pushing the envelope—way beyond what many so-called "pro-life" organizations are willing to do. Back in May, Moon...
It's impossible to ignore the heart-wrenching news flooding in from Israel and Palestine. Just yesterday, a Christian hospital in Gaza was destroyed, causing hundreds of deaths. The shock waves reverberate through our social media feeds, sparking outrage and fiery...
In a not-so-stunning display of rank hypocrisy and political pandering, the president of the Southern Baptist convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) praised President Joe Biden for his “incredibly strong remarks” while visiting Israel in their...
Amidst the spiraling conflict between Israel and Gaza, news broke of an Israeli airstrike that annihilated the only Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Association (PFPPA) center in the region. What is being framed by some as a tragedy for women's healthcare...
