New Jersey Pushes DEI Mandates on Homeschoolers
“New Jersey came out swinging with new legislation that will force children who are homeschooled to be subjected to learning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) curriculum, ignoring the desires of the parents who care deeply about homeschooling.” Read more at Million Voices…
THINK.
- Parents, not the state, have the God-given right to direct the education of their children. Public education has become so bad, that homeschooling has grown over the years, only for it to be targeted by the same mindset that corrupted public education to begin with.
- Mandating DEI undermines both religious liberty and parental freedom. The DEI worldview takes the anti-scriptural view of humanity and places the focus on one’s skin color and their sin, not who God created them to be, and directly a person’s path toward virtue.
- Homeschooling growth reflects a hunger for truth and values-based learning, not ideological indoctrination. While not ideal for every family, homeschool provides the alternative that many parents want, and it is being attacked.
PRAY.
Lord, we pray for righteousness in New Jersey to take hold of the legislature. I thank you God, for education of children. I give you praise for good legislation and good people that hold the line against evildoers that intend on hurting good education. I pray for the striking down of this awful legislation in New Jersey.
ACT.
Contact your state legislators and oppose bills that seek to force ideological mandates onto homeschool families.
Texas A&M Faces Backlash Over LGBTQ Class
"Earlier this week a student at Texas A&M University went viral after recording her professor attempting to teach transgender affirming material, causing a major uproar on social media, after the professor told the student he has the authority to teach whatever he wants, prompting high-level officials to call for not only the professor, but the Texas A&M’s president to be fired.” Read more at Million Voices…
THINK.
- Universities should foster open debate and intellectual diversity, not serve as platforms for ideological indoctrination. Across the country, many professors promote uniform viewpoints that shape young minds without challenge. If we care about cultivating thoughtful, independent leaders for America’s future, we must question whether these educators are truly serving that mission. It's time to advocate for a higher standard, one that prioritizes critical thinking over conformity.
- Courageous students speaking truth can spark reform even in hostile environments. Students who are bold can take a stand in the classroom; they just need to be empowered. They have not only a right, but a duty to stand firm for their faith in the classroom.
- Taxpayer-funded institutions must be accountable to the values of the people they serve. If you earn money, you’re paying for these horrendous programs that are poisoning the next generation of students and educators. It’s time to start challenging them and bringing restoration to the college and universities.
PRAY.
Jesus, I pray that Your spirit dwell in those classrooms in America. May Your spirit go before every student who has the boldness to firmly stand on Your word and proclaim your goodness and mercy. I declare peace and grace over the colleges and universities, and I pray for justice in the schools, where the wrong people are removed and the right people are put in those positions of influence.
ACT.
Engage your local school boards and higher education institutions to demand accountability for what is being taught.
Honoring Charlie Kirk: A Legacy of Faith and Courage
“On Wednesday, America lost a warrior for the very principles on which she was built. Charlie Kirk, conservative reformer, was assassinated by an evil man. Charlie leaves behind him a nation in mourning, along with his wife and two children. Charlie Kirk’s actions over the years have ignited a fire in American youth that has only ignited further, after his life was senselessly taken.” Read more at Million Voices…
THINK.
- The boldness of one life lived for truth can inspire an entire generation. Charlie lived a life that is exemplary. He demonstrated that a person can influence millions, and even the globe, with only 31 years of life.
- Fear and silence only embolden evil, but courage multiplies hope. Recently, a YouTuber by the name of Destiny, came out stating that “conservatives need to be afraid of getting kill when they go to events…” Christians must be more engaged than ever before. Violence is filling the void that Jesus is supposed to fill.
- The Church must carry forward the mission of truth Charlie championed, both spiritually and civically. We are called to lead in both areas, in order to advance the gospel of Jesus to every corner of the nation.
PRAY.
God, I thank you for Charlie’s life and the amazing work You did through him. Embolden me to fulfill my assignment on this earth in the short time I have. Keep others who are engaging in this fight safe from harm. Give peace to those who are standing firm in the public space, and thwart the enemy’s tactics going forward.
ACT.
Honor Charlie’s example by speaking boldly for truth in your community, even when it comes at personal cost. Do not lean out, lean in. Love on people, and love on God. Be courageous.
Trump Urges Christians to Step Into Public Office
“In a video that is gaining plenty of traction, President Trump has called on the churches across America to recruit 500 church members to run for public office in the 2026 mid-term election and the 2028 General Election. President Trump’s request comes right on the heels of Trump’s America Prays agenda, an effort to gather Christians across America to pray for their nation, leading up to America’s 250th birthday.” Read more at Million Voices…
THINK.
- Political engagement is not optional for believers; it is part of stewarding God’s gift of liberty. We cannot properly steward Romans 13 by administering justice if the very people who desire to administer God’s justice are not in power to carry it out.
- The Church has a vital role in shaping policy by raising up leaders who fear God and seek justice. “For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.” (Romans 13:3)
- Revival in America must be paired with civic renewal, and both require active participation. Prayer without works is dead, as Paul tells us. As Christians, we must be fully invested in seeing revival occur. The last Great Awakening was nearly 190 years ago. It is time to usher in the Third Great Awakening and witness new leaders empowered to take a stand for righteousness.
PRAY.
Lord, forgive us for our complacency. Give us the courage to stand for truth, and to run for office of influence with the heart to make life better for our nation and our communities. Stir up a heart in those You have chosen to take action. I pray for our current leaders, that You change their hearts if they do not know You, and stir those who do know You, to have a deeper relationship with You, Jesus.
ACT.
Pray about whether you, or someone in your church, should run for local, state, or federal office, and begin preparing now.
