Easter Sunday is the culmination of Holy Week. We would do well to take time to reflect on who we are and where we stand in our faith. Our patience and devotion have been challenged many times over the last few years, but also rewarded. Now would be a good time to look back on the path we have taken and gear up for the next steps, as people of faith and as Americans.

Christian conservatives could have a greater influence on our culture and the political process if only more of us were willing to engage in prayer and activism. Scripture exhorts us to do both: Pray for our leaders (1 Timothy 2:1-7), and live out our faith (James 1:22). If every conservative Christian did this, our state and nation would not be submerged in the cesspool in which we currently find ourselves.

We realize that 2025 will be an important year for our state and nation. New challenges and opportunities await us. As always, IFI will be advocating for pro-family policies that uphold the sanctity of human life, parental rights, religious freedom, education choice - while at the same time - exposing and opposing the agendas that sabotage our families, corrupt our thinking and divide our communities. Please stand with us.
