What’s the Issue with Contraception?
In a couple of previous articles, we looked at an intriguing push for male contraceptives. In that article, I emphasized that the push for male contraceptives seems to be yet another example of The Lie—the idea that men and women are exactly alike in every way.

VidAngel: Family-Friendly Entertainment
Has this ever happened to you? You sit down with your whole family to watch a movie that looks family-friendly. But halfway through, a random and unnecessary sexual scene pops up, leading you to quickly cover your kids’ eyes and hurriedly tell your spouse to fast-forward. Horrifying, right?

Cutting Back on Kids
Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance found himself in trouble when he said that our nation was being run by “a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable with their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too.” That was likely not the most gentlemanly thing to say.

The Rise of a Sad Demographic: How Christians Should Respond to the So-Called DINKWADs
DINKs are couples who have “taken over social media,” according to Christian podcast host and 2024 Illinois Family Institute banquet speaker Allie Beth Stuckey. Other thoughtful commentators like Steve Deace recently analyzed the DINK group and went so far as to ask if this group would be the death of the U.S.! Increasingly we are hearing of and learning more about this present and deeply disturbing demographic challenge of childless adults. How ought Christians think of and respond to this trend?

American Parents Coalition: A Breath of Fresh Air for Parents
Culturally speaking, there is perhaps no more concerning trend these days than the attempts of the far Left to undermine parents and divide them from their children. From schools and libraries to the courts and the medical profession, radical forces are coming with the authority we’ve given them, and they’re coming for our kids.

Dragging Your Kids Down With Them: Part 3
Over the last couple articles, we discussed the rationale for the peculiarly odd wickedness known as drag. In what possible worldview does it make sense? That worldview is known as queer theory, a philosophy dedicated to overthrowing traditional sexual norms. Queer theory teaches that different kinds of sexual activity exist on a hierarchy, and that sex is a malleable social construct.

Tamela’s Story
Women are often told that abortion is their only option if they wish to pursue a career or get an education. “You will never have a career if keep your baby.” “You will never finish college if you choose to have your child.”

To Thee I Pledge Thee My…Trough??
The parties shall remain nameless, but since both are now deceased, I feel at liberty to repeat this story. At the wedding rehearsal the evening before the big event, the bride and groom were practicing their traditional vows. Apparently, the groom was unfamiliar with the term “troth,” an old English term meaning “my word”...

Act Like a Man
Here comes another Father’s Day. A relatively minor blip on the annual calendar compared to Mother’s Day. No need to explain why that is, right? What does it take to become a “father” or “dad?” Biology tells us that a boy barely entering his teenage years is quite capable of impregnating a female and voilà—the baby arrives nine months later. Welcome to the world of fatherhood—and motherhood.

The Good News: Conservative Companies Still Exist
On April 1, 2023 (making many wonder if it was an April Fool’s joke), popular transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney shared a sponsored post in partnership with Bud Light with nods to March Madness and his continuing personal documentary, “365 Days of Girlhood.” In June of 2023, Target released its highly controversial Pride merchandise line, including “tuck-friendly” swimsuits for transgender “women” (biological men).
