My wife and I have two daughters. Over the years, we have tried public school, private Christian school, and homeschooling. To be honest, there were strengths and weaknesses in all those options. That is why I believe parents have both the right and the responsibility to weigh those options and choose the educational path that is best for their children.

Of the nearly 800 bills introduced in the 2026 General Assembly session, the thread of child protection runs through several. These bills also indicate a new and dangerous technological universe inhabited by kids that has necessitated such protections in the first place.

When “the right of the people to peaceably assemble and the right of the freedom of the press” comes into conflict with “the right of the free exercise of one’s religious faith”, which one wins? Well, I could point out that they all fall within the First Amendment, and the Freedom of Religion comes first in the amendment, but let’s explore further.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania dropped a bombshell indictment last Thursday involving a gambling scheme to fix college basketball and Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) games. The indictment alleged that 39 NCAA basketball players were involved in a point-shaving scheme going back to the ’23-’24 season.

Kentucky’s 2026 Legislative Session began earlier this month and several bills are already drawing controversy. One of them is Senate Bill 26 (SB26), filed by Sen. Lindsey Tichenor, R-Smithfield.

Sports gambling has gone mainstream, sweeping the country. Today, 39 states have legalized it, including Kentucky.

Perhaps the state legislature overlooked this detail when mainstreaming sports gambling in 2023. But considering the vulnerabilities of young people, Kentucky should reconsider raising the minimum age this legislative session. 

I was on a Zoom call yesterday where I was asked what are the three biggest problems facing us today. My first response was that as a whole those who say they are Christians do not live Christianly. Too many of us live in ignorance of what the Lord requires of us (Micah 6:8), or allow ourselves to be unduly influenced by the culture as to how we do life. The Christian ethos that has shaped our nation is no longer being lived out. Interestingly, later that day I met with the leader of a prominent Christian organization and asked this same question and his response was essentially the same!

On December 2nd the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin—a high stakes case involving a pro-life nonprofit and New Jersey’s Attorney General. The dispute began in November of 2023 when Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D) issued a subpoena (a legally binding order) demanding that First Choice produce ten years’ worth of documents detailing its donors’ names, addresses, and phone numbers as well as the organization’s statements on issues like abortion pill reversal.
