I am a Christian. But I'm not religious. Christianity is not a religion. It's a relationship between human and a loving God. I don't serve and obey Jesus in order be accepted by Him. I serve and obey Jesus because I love Him, and He loved me first.
This is Christianity.
🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!
One year after losing Charlie, we continue to feel the impact of a life that inspired countless people to return to their faith, return to church, and boldly stand for what they believe.
We honor his memory by continuing the work he believed in: equipping churches to stand firm, proclaim the Gospel, and make Heaven crowded.

BREAKING: CA Democrats Just Passed AB 2624 - The "Stop Nick Shirley Act" - that makes it illegal to post videos of fraud against taxpayers. I rose to speak in opposition - and they repeatedly silenced me like they intend to silence citizen journalists! WATCH:
🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: TikTok has PERMANENTLY BANNED journalist Cam Higby after he exposed major election vulnerabilities in Minnesota — they are letting “Muslim migrants” vote with NO ID through “vouching”
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
Free speech is not alive on TikTok.
Once again, if you expose too much, you’re censored. Just in time for an election…
@ElonMusk X is still the number one free speech app. It’s not close.
@camhigby did nothing wrong!
🚨 HOLY CRAP. The California Democrat Legislature has formally PASSED the Stop NICK SHIRLEY Act — sending it to Gov. Gavin Newsom for signature
The bill will CRIMINALIZE Shirley going around and confronting fraudsters while recording them, then posting it online, especially "immigrant" locations
And it was pushed by California AG Rob Bonta's wife.
Lawmakers blocked Rep. Carl DeMaio from speaking out against its 1A violations
WHAT ARE THEY HIDING 🤯
@NickShirleyy is TOO effective that California is crafting pro-fraud laws around him!
SHIRLEY IN APRIL: "Very interesting connections with her husband being the Attorney General of California. Their goal as a family should be to prosecute and take care and make sure that there is so little fraud in the state that they can have such a peaceful night of sleep!"
"However, while the Attorney General is supposed to be prosecuting fraud, his wife is creating laws to let fraud continue!"
"They're specifically saying that NGOs who receive money based off immigrant services don't have to disclose their money."
Congratulations to @PressSec@karolineleavitt on an extraordinary chapter of service to our country.
Karoline is the youngest White House Press Secretary in American history and she brought tenacity, grace, and the joy of the Lord when she walked into that briefing room every day. She showed millions of young Americans what strong leadership looks like and I am so proud of her.
Family always comes first. There is wisdom and strength in knowing what season God is calling you into and having the courage to follow it.
Karoline, thank you for your service to @POTUS and our country, and for being such a powerful example to the young people watching you.
Your family is blessed to have you and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for you next. ❤️
My husband always said it best.
COVID taught us that knowledge and wisdom are not the same thing. Our institutions are filled with people like Fauci who have credentials, degrees, and knowledge, but lack wisdom.
And knowledge without wisdom, especially when combined with power, is incredibly dangerous.
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,” — Proverbs 9:10
