Seth Gruber Headlines IFI’s Annual Banquet — Early Bird Ends Monday
Written By David E. Smith   |   08.31.26

IFI is honored to welcome Seth Gruber as the keynote speaker for our Annual Fundraising Banquet on October 9th.

Seth does not pull punches. With bold faith and unwavering conviction, he has spent years confronting Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry face to face, calling the destruction of preborn life exactly what it is – wicked human sacrifice. He is one of the most fearless voices in the pro-life movement today, and his message could not be more timely.

Want a preview? Watch Seth’s 52-minute interview with Dr. Frank Turek, where he traces America’s cultural collapse back to four pivotal events in 1973:

In the interview, Seth identifies several pivotal events that he believes accelerated America’s cultural decline:

  • Roe v. Wade, which unleashed the slaughter of millions of preborn children
  • The Endangered Species Act, a symptom of our culture worshipping the creation rather than the Creator
  • U.S. Supreme Court rulings that threw open the floodgates of pornography
  • The APA’s removal of homosexuality from its list of disorders, surrendering medical truth to political pressure

Every one of these battles continues today. So does ours.

On October 9th, we will gather to cast a bold vision for what comes next and to strengthen one another for the fight to defend life, family, and biblical truth in Illinois.

Host a Table

The single most impactful thing you can do is host a table. Fill it with friends, family, coworkers, and members of your church who need to hear this message. Every new face in the room is a potential ally in this movement for years to come.

Seats are limited, and the Early Bird Special expires Monday. Do not wait.

Stand with us this October for an inspiring and challenging evening with Seth Gruber as we rally together for faith, family, and life.
