Earlier this year, The Illinois Christian Home Educator’s (ICHE) conference took place in Bourbonnais, Illinois, and Jenna was given the opportunity to interview a husband-and-wife duo who define the term “power couple.” Will and Meeke Addison, hosts of Airing the Addisons, were those precise people at this year’s convention, and Jenna was able to speak with them on behalf of the Illinois Family Institute’s Spotlight podcast.… Continue Reading

The state of Illinois has received 5.4 million from the Department of Health and Human Services that will assist and expand access to “family planning” services. Our Illinois legislature and Planned Parenthood join gov. Pritzker in hailing this advance in “beneficial” programs for our state.
