Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.
They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.
But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.
They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.
But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.
And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.
They buried this.
Now you know.

Bill C-8 IS NOW LAW: Canada’s WARRANTLESS SURVEILLANCE NIGHTMARE Explained!!
On June 16, 2026, Bill C-8 (formerly Bill C-26) received Royal Assent and became official.
This legislation gives the government sweeping new surveillance powers, including:
- Warrantless access to your subscriber data, location, browsing history, metadata, and more
- The ability for one minister to secretly order your internet or phone service shut off with no court review
- Secret gag orders preventing companies from telling you why your service was cut
- Broad powers that could force weakening of encryption
Sold to Canadians as a “cybersecurity” bill to protect critical infrastructure, it actually delivers massive new warrantless spying powers and internet kill switches with almost no oversight.
In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth breaks down exactly what’s in Bill C-8 and what it means for your privacy.
Please share this video far and wide because most Canadians still have no idea this just became law!
🍸 Finally, a book that pairs perfectly with happy hour.

From Christian Homes to Slave Markets: 4.5 Million African Christians Brutally Enslaved in 2026:
While the world keeps obsessing over slavery from centuries ago, millions of Christians are being kidnapped, bought, and sold right now in Africa yet almost no one is talking about it.
Africa has 7 million people trapped in modern slavery.
4.5 million of them are Christians.
Among the victims: 2.4 million Christian women & girls
1 million Christian children
An average slave is sold for just $90.
Worst affected Christian populations: Nigeria: 1.611 million slaves (45-50% Christian)
DR Congo: 407,000 slaves (90-95% Christian)
South Sudan: 115,000 slaves (60-70% Christian)
These are Christian believers people who follow Jesus, read the Bible, and live their faith being ripped from their homes and communities into forced labor, sexual slavery, and horrific exploitation
Why is there endless discussion about historical slavery, but complete silence on this massive ongoing Christian slavery crisis in 2026 ?
Christian lives are under attack today.
It’s time to break the silence and demand attention for this tragedy.
Kids who love someone struggling with addiction often feel it’s their fault.
We’re changing that with two gentle children’s books: “When The Clouds Come Home”.

We’re raising funds to print & donate the first 500 copies.
Every little bit helps 💙

Fasting…….
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus deliberately employs the exact same grammatical structure and authoritative tone when He instructs His disciples on prayer and on fasting: “When you pray…” (Matthew 6:5) and “When you fast…” (Matthew 6:16). He does not say “if you fast,” nor does He soften the command with qualifiers or alternatives. The parallel wording is not accidental; it is a divine declaration that both practices hold equal weight in the eyes of God. Prayer and fasting are twin pillars of intimate communion with the Father—neither is optional, neither is secondary, and neither can be casually dismissed or replaced. God does not distinguish between “spiritual” and “physical” fasting any more than He separates the soul from the body; He simply commands us to fast. This is not cultural suggestion or outdated tradition—it is the clear, unchanging Word of the Lord. Regardless of modern medicine’s warnings, cultural grazing habits, or pulpit quackery that marginalizes the practice, the equality Jesus placed on prayer and fasting stands unmoved. To diminish one is to diminish the other. The Father who sees in secret rewards both with the same promise, because both flow from the same obedient, hungry heart that refuses to live by bread alone.
