🚨Cleveland Browns football players gather together to host first ever Cleveland for Christ event🔥
@DefiantLs >90% of government should not exist:
I care a lot more about saving babies than being politically correct. We are done with euphemisms when talking about abortion. It’s not “reproductive healthcare.” Abortion is barbaric and evil.
Today I asked an abortion advocate what her favorite method of abortion is.
I described some of the most common methods of abortion to one of the abortion industry’s top legal scholars.
As you can see, the barbaric truth wasn't something she wanted to hear.
🚨 HOLY CRAP. A DEVASTATING line of questioning from Rep. Brandon Gill totally exposes abortionists for who they are
GILL: What's your favorite type of abortion?
LIB: I don't have one
GILL: Suction abortion. This is when the cervix is dilated, and a strong suction, 29 times the power of a household vacuum cleaner, tears the baby's body apart and sucks it through the hose into a container.
"Do you prefer THAT METHOD?"
LIB: I stand by my former testimony.
GILL: That sounds kind of gross, doesn't it? Sounds pretty gruesome. Do you agree? This one is called dilation and curettage. After dilation of the cervix, a sharp looped knife is inserted into the uterus. You prefer that method?
LIB, PANICS: What I believe we are here to talk about today is the FACE Act! We are not here to talk about the legality of abortion.
GILL: You're a pro-abortion advocate. I'm asking if you prefer the dilation and curettage method. You don't you don't want to talk about abortion itself. Why is that?
"Forceps are inserted into the uterus, grabbing and twisting the baby's body to dismember him or her. If the head is too large, it must be crushed in order to remove it. Do you prefer that method?"
LIB: "I would prefer to talk about the reason the hearing was called and the basis of my expert testimony."
GILL: "The baby's skin is burned off. The baby ingests the solution and dies of salt poisoning, dehydration, and hemorrhaging of the brain. Do you prefer that method?"
"It's uncomfortable to hear this, isn't it? It is."
"How about this one? It's called the saline injection. It's when a 20% salt solution is injected through the mother's abdomen into the baby's amniotic fluid."
LIB: I would prefer to talk about the subject of the hearing.
GILL: This is the subject of the hearing. This is about protests outside of abortion clinics. I'm asking you about abortion.
LIB: I stand by my prior testimony.
GILL: I wouldn't want to talk about this either if I were you because it is barbaric and evil.
🫳🏻🎤
I love the President and I'm so grateful he's in the Oval Office. Of course, I'll continue to support him and the America First agenda.
At the end of the day, I do nothing for the approval of man. Our purpose on this earth is to glorify Him in all we do. The truth social post missed the mark. It's now deleted. Amazing!
We're imperfect people. I know I am. I don't get my feelings hurt easy and I know with the President it's really not personal. I want to spend eternity in a real place called Heaven. I'd love for Trump to be there too.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. I'll keep doing my part by speaking truth & doing my best to lead others to Christ.
(and no, I won't be selling merch with his insults on them hahaha)
He is Risen.
What does it mean to know the character of God?
It doesn’t mean knowing facts about God. It doesn’t mean memorizing verses. It doesn’t mean winning theological debates. Demons know facts about God.
Knowing God’s character means understanding who He is by watching what He does. The same way you learn who a person really is not by what they say about themselves but by how they act when it matters.
So what has God done?
He made a covenant with Abraham and has never broken it. Thousands of years. Exiles, empires, persecutions, a holocaust. His people are still here. That tells you He is faithful.
He gave the law not to burden people but to show them what He is like. Don’t murder because He is the giver of life. Don’t steal because He is just. Don’t commit adultery because He is faithful. The commandments are a self-portrait.
That tells you He wants to be known.
He sent prophets to a people who kept turning away. Not once. Not twice. Over and over for centuries. They killed His messengers and He sent more.
That tells you He is patient beyond anything we would consider reasonable.
He entered His own creation as a man. Not as a king in a palace. As a baby in a feeding trough. He grew up in an occupied country in a nothing town. He worked with His hands. That tells you He is humble.
He touched lepers when no one else would. He spoke to the Samaritan woman when culture said He shouldn’t. He ate with tax collectors and sinners when religion said it would make Him unclean. That tells you His love is not limited by the boundaries we create.
He wept at the tomb of Lazarus even though He was about to raise him from the dead. He already knew the outcome and He still cried. That tells you He feels what we feel. Our pain moves Him even when He holds the solution.
He washed His disciples’ feet. The Creator of the universe knelt on the floor and did the work of the lowest servant in the house. That tells you His authority doesn’t look like what the world calls authority.
He forgave Peter for denying Him three times. He didn’t just forgive him. He restored him. He made him a leader. That tells you His grace doesn’t just pardon. It restores and promotes.
He forgave from the cross. While being executed by the people He came to save, He said “Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” That tells you His love has no limit and no condition.
He rose from the dead. That tells you His love is stronger than the worst thing evil can do.
That’s the character of God. Not a theological concept. A person you can know by watching how He moves through history and through a human life that was lived for 33 years where everyone could see it.
And here’s why it matters.
Every false theology is built on a distortion of God’s character. If you believe God breaks His promises, you’ll accept replacement theology. If you believe God rules through domination, you’ll accept authoritarian religion. If you believe God requires institutions to mediate His presence, you’ll accept systems that put men between you and your Creator.
If you believe God is angry and distant, you’ll live in fear instead of freedom.
But if you know His character, the lies don’t stick. You can spot the distortion because you know what the original looks like. You don’t need someone to tell you what God is like. You’ve seen Him. In His word. In His Son. In His faithfulness across thousands of years of history.
The point of Scripture was always to show us who God is. And once you see Him clearly, everything else falls into place.
God is faithful. God is patient. God is humble. God is just. God is merciful. God is present. God is love.
Not God has love. God IS love. That’s His nature. That’s His character. That’s what every page of Scripture has been pointing to all along.
And once you know that, no one can sell you a counterfeit.
And that is why you submit of your own free will.
You can tell who reads Scripture to get to know the character of Christ and who reads it to win arguments.
Because the moment you use the Bible to tell a woman to go make a sandwich you’ve already revealed which one you are.
The verse:
“Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.” 1 Timothy 2:11-12
And the application according to a man made in a public theological debate, after losing the argument was: stick to making dinner for your husband.
Let’s ask the only question that matters.
Did Christ ever do that? Once? Anywhere?
The woman at the well had five husbands and a complicated history. Jesus sat down, engaged her theology seriously, and revealed He was the Messiah to her first. Not to Peter. Not to the disciples. To her. Then He let her go tell an entire city. John 4.
Mary sat at His feet in the posture of a disciple while Martha asked Jesus to send her back to the kitchen. He refused. He said she chose the better thing and it would not be taken from her. Luke 10.
Mary Magdalene was the first person to see the risen Christ. He didn’t appear to Peter. He didn’t appear to the eleven. He appeared to her and He said go tell them. John 20.
The bent-over woman He healed on the Sabbath over religious objection. He dignified her publicly in front of the men trying to shut Him down. Luke 13.
He engaged women’s theological questions seriously. Publicly. Deliberately. Jesus did it constantly and never apologized once.
Not once did Jesus use Scripture to silence a woman.
Not once did He redirect a woman’s theological engagement back to her domestic duties.
Not once in all of Scripture.
So why does 1 Timothy 2 exist.
Because context is everything.
Paul is writing to a church in Ephesus and the home of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world.
The entire city’s religious culture was built around a female deity with female-dominated priesthood.
New converts were dragging those frameworks straight into the church.
The heresy being spread there was that Eve was the enlightened one. The serpent was the hero.
This is why Paul addresses Eve directly in verses 13-14. He’s not making a universal claim about female nature. He’s refuting a live heresy corrupting a specific congregation in a specific city.
This was a situational correction. Not a timeless universal command.
Because the same Paul called Phoebe a deacon. Named Junia a prominent apostle. Praised Priscilla for correcting a man’s theology and wrote Galatians 3:28.
The character of Christ is the lens everything runs through. Every verse. Every doctrine. Every application.
And the Christ of Scripture knelt in the dirt to protect a woman. Chose a woman to announce His resurrection. Refused to send a woman back to the kitchen.
So when someone uses His word to tell a woman to go make dinner, they are not representing His character.
They are using His character to do something He himself would never do.
Listen to this.
Here’s what I learned from watching our son suffer for 10 yrs, then go be w/ Jesus:
God is still good,
when I don’t understand.
God is still faithful,
when it doesn’t make sense.
God still has a plan,
when I can’t see it.
God still reigns,
when things look like chaos.
God is still near,
when I can’t feel Him.
God is still God.

RULES ARE RULES 🫵⚠️

I can’t overstate how important it is in life to be content with who God made you to be, where God has placed you, and what God has gifted you to do.
The moment you reach beyond those boundaries and start grasping for what doesn’t belong to you, you step onto dangerous ground.
That’s how Lucifer lost his place in heaven—through discontent. He wasn’t satisfied to be the anointed worship leader; he wanted to be the center.
That’s how he worked Eve; by getting her obsessed with the one tree she wasn’t given, instead of grateful for the entire garden she already had.
And that’s how he still ruins lives today: not by taking blessings away, but by convincing people to despise the blessings they already have.
Discontent will always make God’s provision feel insufficient even when you’re standing in a perfect garden.
May God give you grace to be content with what He’s gifted you in, what He’s gifted you with, and where He’s placed you.
May you remain ever thankful for all you have in Christ.
“But godliness with contentment is great gain.”
- 1 Timothy 6:6 (KJV)
Why is Hillary Clinton writing an article about me right now?
We are over the target. We’ve gotten to the heart of progressive manipulation. We looked at their lies straight in the face:
- Abortion is healthcare
- Trans-women are women
- No human being is illegal
We’re not buying it anymore. They aren’t going to exploit compassion to support policies that are bad for our families and the country. We will no longer allow emotion to paralyze our thinking.
Now, they’re afraid. Progressives have used this tactic to capture women for so long. They thought they had the female vote in the bag. When you have a woman—a Christian, wife, suburban mom—talking to other Christian wives and moms about critical thinking and Biblical truth, they know they’re in trouble.
They don’t trot out former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton unless they’re really worried.
130 schools said no.
He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami.
He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed.
So did FIU.
So did FAU.
So did everyone else.
At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.
Not one FBS offer.
His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.
Everyone told him to be “realistic.”
“Know your place.”
“Be grateful.”
He didn’t listen.
Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:
The worst outcome isn’t failing.
It’s never getting the chance to try.
Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.
Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.
He took it.
He arrived as the third-string quarterback.
Spent a year on the scout team.
Lost his first four starts.
Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.
Still got up. Every time.
Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.
So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.
He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.
People laughed.
“Career suicide.”
“Graveyard program.”
“Nobody wins there.”
One coach told him something different:
“I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”
That was enough.
Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football.
His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.
Before every snap, he thought of her.
“My mother is my why.”
Indiana went 16–0.
Beat six Top-10 teams.
Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.
Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.
Won the Heisman—first in school history.
First Cuban-American to ever do it.
Then came the title game.
Miami. Near his hometown.
Fourth-and-4. Season on the line.
Quarterback draw.
The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone.
Game over.
Indiana—national champions.
The losingest program became the best team in America.
All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end.
Rankings don’t decide your ceiling.
Gatekeepers don’t write your ending.
Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point.
Sometimes all you need is one shot…
and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will.
Don’t quit.
