A flurry of bills are emerging in the Kentucky General Assembly and many are bound to affect all of us. Yet there is disagreement within the church as to what extent pastors should speak into the political and policy realms.

Prominent institutions in Kentucky are seeking to defy the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies. As the White House takes decisive action to curb illegal immigration, local officials and the media are teaming up to shield those who reside in the country unlawfully.

Highlands Latin School, a classical Christian school in Louisville, KY, had its lease terminated by Crescent Hill Baptist Church earlier this week. The decision came in the wake of a Louisville Courier-Journal series on the classical school, entitled “The Cost of Empire.”

Members of the Daviess County Public Library board are dragging their feet when it comes to protecting minors from sexually explicit books located in the children’s section of the library. Some board members believe that such a move would constitute censorship and a violation of constitutional rights, exposing the Library to a lawsuit. So what’s going on?

Today is the second day of the 2025 General Assembly session, where 138 legislators from all corners of the Commonwealth convene to consider laws to (hopefully) make us a more just and better society. Often forgotten is that elected leaders are one part of the equation of making our society a better place to live.

Last week, the Chief Equity Officer for Jefferson County Public Schools, Dr. John Marshall, made a post on the social media platform X which warned black students that they should not expect fair treatment from most white people.

This time, it’s Amendment 2 on school choice. As you decide how to vote, remember what Amendment 2 does. It allows Kentucky legislators to explore how the commonwealth can join the 48 other states which allow some form of school choice.
