Faith

The cultural campaign to separate children from their parents' values hit a wall in 2026. Parents in 42 states have sued or organized recalls against school boards that hide gender transitions. Faith, not state ideology, remains firm ground for raising children.

The collapse of marriage drives child poverty and government dependence. Census data show married families earn a median income near $114,000 while single-mother households earn about $45,000. Churches and parents must rebuild a culture that honors husbands, wives, and children.

American culture has spent decades treating fathers as comic relief. The data tells a different story. Children raised with involved fathers do better in school, stay out of trouble, and form healthier families of their own.

Public schools increasingly treat children as wards of the state instead of members of families bound by faith. Parents have the right and duty to direct the moral upbringing of their children. When schools hide social transitions from families, they break the natural order.

The collapse of married fatherhood has done more harm to children than any tax policy or curriculum fight. Churches, schools, and neighborhoods must rebuild the expectation that fathers stay, lead, and love.

The State Board of Education in Texas is adopting new social studies standards that affect classrooms far beyond the state line. Parents of faith should pay close attention, because textbook publishers follow the Texas market.

Faith-based ministries have served foster children for generations, but state agencies now punish them for biblical marriage views. Lawmakers must protect conscience rights so religious providers can keep finding homes instead of watching foster beds stay empty.

The federal foster care rewrite punishes agencies that honor biblical marriage. Children lose homes. Religious liberty loses ground. Congress should restore the conscience protections stripped out this spring.

Mainline denominations have spent two decades trimming biblical teaching to fit fashion, and the result is empty pews, broken homes, and a culture that treats children as accessories. It is time for faithful congregations to speak plainly again.

Darla Jean Pickett argues that American churches are emptying because too many pulpits traded biblical authority for comfort. Only a return to clear, humble, Scripture-backed preaching can revive the faith.

Church messaging that reframes abortion as always murder is creating fear in pregnant women who need medical care. Miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and maternal complications are suffering when patients distrust their doctors.

Pew's spring report on church attendance shows another quiet year of decline. The numbers are smaller this year than last. The deeper story is what the people who stayed are doing.

The Department of Health and Human Services will issue final guidance on May 14 restoring federal foster-care funding to religious agencies that require statement-of-faith commitments, according to two attorneys involved in the rulemaking.

A federal judge in Fort Worth plans to issue a preliminary injunction blocking a Biden-era HHS rule that threatened federal funding for faith-based foster care agencies, according to three sources familiar with the case.

HHS will announce a final rule on May 7 restoring conscience protections for faith-based foster agencies, letting them keep roughly $380 million in annual contracts while referring cases that conflict with their beliefs, officials said.

Pew's longitudinal data on faith transmission across generations tracks a pattern that scripture itself warned about. The pattern is not new. The work to interrupt it is the work in front of every Christian family.

AI systems are engineered to replace what faith once provided: comfort, answers, and the sense of being heard. Christians who can't name functional idolatry when it ships with a product launch are making the same mistake as Israel at the foot of Sinai.

Kathie Lee Gifford says God made her famous so she could be bold about Jesus. That's a coherent theology of purpose, and a rebuke to every celebrity Christian who retreats into vague spirituality the moment a camera gets pointed at them.

Across denominations and across regions, ordinary congregations are reporting a pattern of adult conversions that is not appearing in the headline religious-affiliation surveys. The pattern is small. The pattern is real. The pattern is the work.

Silicon Valley's AI industry is building systems it openly describes as god-like in capability and redemptive in purpose. Christians cannot stay silent while a new golden calf is assembled in server farms, funded by venture capital, and worshipped by the tech elite.

Kathie Lee Gifford says God made her famous specifically to be bold about Jesus, not as a decorative sentiment but as a doctrinal conviction held publicly for 40 years in entertainment. After real loss and no career left to protect, she's the kind of witness that can't be dism...

In an industry that celebrates every identity except sincere Christian faith, Kathie Lee Gifford walked back onto television and said God made her famous to be bold about Jesus. Without apology.

Bishops confront diocese pressure as Catholic schools nationwide navigate competing demands from LGBTQ advocacy groups and conservative parents. Church leadership struggles with institutional doctrine versus enrollment.
