Sound of Hope, produced by Angel Studios, is based on the inspiring, true story of a couple that changed their community through adoption.

Do Firefighters Support Arson?
By Rev. Calvin Lindstrom   |   07.27.24
Though I am not a firefighter, I know that sometimes that they have to use destructive methods to save structures and lives.

Kent Evans is a husband, father, and co-founder of Manhood Journey, a ministry dedicated to helping fathers become active disciple-makers in their home.

By Mae Arthur   |   07.26.24
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.

By Brandon Myers   |   07.24.24

What Did You Learn at School Today?
By Ecce Verum   |   07.20.24
It seems like anything can become a political issue nowadays. Schools are no exception. IFI has frequently sounded the alarm about the indoctrination of students occurring in today's education system and, Lord willing, we'll continue to do so as long as it's happening.
Losing Faith in “Christian” Marketing
The marketing of Jesus knows no bounds. I speak of that which I know. Hear me out. In my work history, I was employed by multiple stations that self-identified as “Christian radio.” All along, these stations SHOULD have been saying, “Christian formatted radio.” It might seem like a small distinction, but much that appears under a marketing banner of “Christian” could be easily challenged.

Speak the Truth in Love
By Kenna Rose   |   07.15.24
Public discourse is frequently angry, full of yelling, name-calling, and “gotcha” statements. There’s no love and often little truth in the interaction. Christians are supposed to be different.

By Ecce Verum   |   07.13.24
A homeschool advocate acquainted with an IFI staff member recently answered over 150 Facebook messages about homeschooling.  "It's just blowing up!" the advocate said. "Lots and lots of parents from central and southern IL wanting out." Homeschooling has been around for a few decades now, and it has made significant advances in quality and acceptability over the years, but it usually seems to have been relegated to the academic fringes.
