Because of the dramatic skills demonstrated at every Olympics, it is hard not to cheer on our champions. I love the display of American flags and the playing of our national anthem when medals are being placed around the winners' necks. 

Gender-affirming care, until recently, has been gaining popularity around the world for treating gender dysphoria in children and adults. All that is changing. The term itself mischaracterizes the treatment. Gender-affirming care is not care. It is chemical and surgical mutilation.

On June 6 of this year, the Doctors Protecting Children Declaration officially launched. Included in the coalition of co-signers are members of the healthcare community representing a variety of specialties, including psychiatrists, pediatricians, nurses, physicians, scientists, and more.

Our world is obsessed with being offended. We frequently talk about being offended and are careful to watch what we say lest we offend someone else.

By all standards and metrics, America has a mental health crisis. Not only that, but it also has a moral crisis. The number of people who are seeking help for unwanted behaviors and emotions is growing by leaps and bounds. What is more, the link between mental health and spiritual health is undeniable.

Last month, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) became the first major medical organization to denounce the practice of performing “gender-affirming care” procedures on minors. ASPS represents over 90% of all practicing plastic surgeons in the United States and Canada.

What is truth? Pilate said those words to Jesus some 2,000 years ago as Christ was headed to the cross, and it’s a question that the world continues to ask today. The answer the culture has arrived at has turned out to be less than satisfactory.

In April of this year, I wrote an article urging conservatives to fight corporate wokeism from the bottom-up. Remember: businesses only do what you pay them to do. Now, I'm happy to announce that in June, we saw yet another great example of this strategy put into practice...

The Bible says nothing about environmental determinism. We all stand before God and are not free to shift blame to others as Adam and Eve attempted to do in the Garden of Eden. But Scripture does indicate that evil men and women can and certainly do encourage others to sin.

I can't bring myself to watch the Olympics this year. It's not that I don't love the Olympics... I grew up in a household that valued hard work, athleticism & sportsmanship. Our family has always enjoyed watching athletes reach beyond themselves to accomplish incredible feats of strength & teamwork together. However this year, it's just not worth it.

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.
