Jonathan Keller is one of the nicest guys I know working in one of the most difficult places to advance pro-family, pro-life, pro-liberty measures. He heads up our sister organization, California Family Council , and does an unbelievable job in one of the most socialist leaning locales in all the country. At the same time, he reminds me, there were more Republicans who voted for President Trump in California than in all of Texas. In other words, that's quite a "remnant" of Truth followers to wor...

One of the great realities often overlooked is how people and groups don't fit as nice and tidy together in perceived boxes as we think. Gays Against Groomers is a fairly accurate example of that. If you have a mindset that everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community is supportive of sexually charged curricula in public schools, Drag Queen Story hours and 13 year old girls getting double masectomies because they feel as though they are boys...you would be wrong.

Priscilla likes to say God saved her three times. As a Christ follower, she knows that your soul is saved once and for all but her story is different than most. She is a survivor of an attempted abortion, with her twin sister dying in the process. She had two abortions herself and while working at an abortion clinic in Southern California, was in a horrific car accident that should have killed her. And finally, through God's everlasting grace and mercy, she found salvation, forgiveness and freed...

We aren’t professional writers or pedigreed activists. We are just people who think that children deserve to be the primary consideration when considering what is best for, w...

Maybe it's because he's from Texas where quiet confidence reigns. Maybe it's because he's a Principal in Golovin, an Inupiat Eskimo village on the Seward Peninsula where respect for elders is generational. Whatever the reason, Alan Davis, Principal of Martin L. Olson School in Golovin, has given a desperately needed boost of confidence in the public school system by recently coming out in support of Governor Dunleavy's parental rights bill, HB 105 . Public school teachers, counselors, administra...

Tune in today for " I'm Glad You Said That " to learn about the Help Not Harm movement ! "A young girl who feels she is a boy – or a boy who feels he is a girl – may feel that way for any number of reasons. Perhaps she feels she doesn’t fit in socially with other girls, and would fit in better if she were a boy. Perhaps she is generally uncomfortable in her body or with the changes it’s going through, and she is reacting to that in a similar way to someone who, for example, has an eating disorde...

Join us on "I'm Glad You Said That" today for a chat with Spencer Moore who is running for Anchorage Assembly in District 5 . As you likely know, although supposedly a "non-partisan" body, the Assembly is dominated by progressives with only two of the eleven members even remotely conservative. Much of that has to do with anemic voter turnout. Will we be able to recapture any of the several seats up for grabs this election cycle ? Spencer Moore is doing his part to answer that in the affirmative....

Many of us in the conservative movement in Alaska were surprised when the Alaska State House was finally able to organize around the Republican majority that had been elected. For too many legislative sessions, members of the Grand Old Party were not able to play in the sandbox together. Usually, that meant giving the power to the Democrats who then sat in the powerful positions determining what bills were heard and not heard. It was always bad for Alaska Family Council's legislative agenda. Thi...
