SPOTLIGHT: The Fight for Free Speech with Pastor Stephen Lee


Written by Alyssa Sonnenburg

The next generation of culture warriors hope to make a difference and they are an answer to our prayers. We hope to encourage and mentor these young contributors so they can take the baton from us in the future. God’s gift of liberty and self-government must be fought for and protected. The fundamental principles of faith, virtue, marriage and family must be upheld and taught. Please pray for these bold young culture warriors and extend to them some grace as they hone their skills.

If we fear God, we fear nothing else. If we don’t fear God, we fear everything, and everyone else.
