Tearing down Columbus statues is easy. Understanding history takes work. IFI examines the explorer’s Christian faith and challenges today’s popular narrative. Before accepting the slogans, take a closer look.

A prayer meeting in your home shouldn’t require government permission. Ohio officials accused Daniel Grand of running an illegal synagogue after he invited friends to pray. Religious liberty is at stake. Pray for the U.S. Supreme Court to protect this fundamental freedom.

Religious freedom is under attack in New York. The state is now weaponizing medical mandates to persecute the Amish community. This isn't public health—it’s state-sponsored tyranny. Will the SCOTUS protect this peaceful, rural community of believers?

Cheap shots, racial resentment, and confusion over what defines a woman. The WNBA needs a course correction. Women’s basketball should celebrate skill, sportsmanship, and biological reality. Fans have good reasons to sideline it.

If you watched the news during the George Floyd and Antifa riots and similar incidents since, the participants had one thing in common: they refused to state what they believed or what their ideas for a better America were. Their immediate objective clearly was to destroy whatever they could.

Illinois still ranks among the Top 5 states for religious liberty—but we've slipped from #1 to #5 in just two years. Religious liberty and parental rights cannot be taken for granted. Elections have consequences. As lawmakers continue to chip away at these fundamental freedoms, people of faith must pray, vote, and boldly defend our God-given liberties.

A woman in my own congregation spends her Saturday mornings carrying groceries to families who, for one reason or another, cannot come to our food pantry. Her motive is simple and idealistic: she sees people she believes are hungry and responds to the perceived need.

As America marks 250 years of independence, let's remember that our liberties were not self-sustaining—they were built on biblical truth, moral courage, and God's providence. Freedom survives only when each generation is willing to defend it. May we recommit ourselves to faith, truth, and liberty.

“Diversity and inclusion” apparently have limits when it comes to Christian convictions. MLB should celebrate players who live out their faith, not pressure them to suppress biblical truth.

For too long, Christians have watched as Hollywood, academia, and legacy media use their platforms to shape culture with worldviews increasingly hostile to biblical truth. But we have a voice. We have tools. We have opportunities. Social media can be more than noise—it can be a mission field. Use your influence. Share truth. Encourage others. Be salt and light.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, on July 4, 1776, a small group of men — educated, propertied, and fully aware of what they risked — pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to take the first step toward founding something the world had never seen: a nation grounded in the conviction that rights come from God, not from government.

“Free” is one of the most expensive words in politics. Free programs. Free services. Free benefits. Someone always pays. Politicians who promise everything from government often deliver higher taxes, less freedom, and greater dependency.

When the state limits what can be said in therapy, it’s no longer about healing—it’s about controlling the narrative. That should concern everyone.

For years, conversion therapy bans were built on emotional narratives, questionable testimony, outright lies and institutional groupthink. The U.S. Supreme Court just pulled back the curtain—and raised the bar. A house built on sand cannot stand.
