MUST WATCH 🚨: Ainsley, a Minnesota volleyball athlete, testifies before the Minnesota House of Representatives on protecting women’s sports.
“My good friend was on the USA volleyball team last summer. She told me, quote, ‘I sat behind the 6'4 man serving the volleyball and thought, I could never receive that.’ My friend is a 6'3 guard..”
“What is the point of girls and boys teams if males can play on girls-only teams? Members, fellow Minnesotans, this isn't easy for me.”
“I'm a very agreeable person who hates controversy, but I love truth. I thought about my volleyball team, the little girls I babysit, my own hopes and dreams, and I thought about the little girls I babysit, my own hopes and dreams, and one day being a mother of daughters.”
“I want to say I fought for them and their future. Members, please preserve our safety and the opportunity we are entitled to under the law in women's sports, and pass House File 12.”
WOW.
Cruelty to anyone is wrong. That’s not the issue, Governor. The issue is, which biological girl is not worthy of a roster spot because the boy who’s confused has taken their place? May common sense and concern for our girls once again become a priority in MN. I pray for that day.
BIG NEWS TODAY 💥The Supreme Court’s ruling in the two landmark women’s sports cases are a significant victory for women and girls across the country. The Court affirmed that states may safeguard fairness, opportunity, and safety in women’s and girls’ sports.
The Supreme Court’s decision today also sends a clear message to progressive leadership in Minnesota—now is the opportunity for the current administration to seize the “What is a woman?” moment and stop pretending that biology is optional or dictated by zip code. Minnesota has the green light to protect women’s sports.
We will continue to fight for religious liberty in Minnesota so we can share the best news — the hope of the gospel.
@ReneeKCarlson, General Counsel for True North Legal and an attorney for Cities Church joined @tperkins this week to discuss the St. Paul City Attorney’s decision not to bring criminal charges against the agitators who invaded Cities Church.

I’m really proud of my friend @ReneeKCarlson and the work she’s doing in Minnesota to stand up for the religious freedom of Cities Church. Great interview earlier today with @tperkins:
Rise up oh men of God. These saints were victims of a religious attack and abuse of their First Amendment rights. The government did nothing.
The same government that God appointed to protect that right enshrined in our laws.
The kicker is that Jonathan and the men of his church can do something about it.
Yes, they can and will (if you know anything about Jonathan) preach the gospel—but praise God, we live in a democracy. They can and should also rise up and engage the civil spaces of St. Paul and Minneapolis. Christians have left the public square. They need to call men to action and seek political reform in their city.
Christians can do both, should do both, and will reap the consequences of failing to do so. If the Christian men of their city don’t engage for the good of their children and great grandchildren, if they just sit back and let go, then their city will descend further from righteousness and it will be costly for them.
May God use them to push back evil as protectionist and accompany their good work with gospel fruit.

What a special night at Bunker Hills Golf Club! Our family had the privilege of being a part of my uncle’s induction into the MN PGA Hall of Fame. Congratulations, @PeterSKrause! We are so proud of you!
The church's attorney put it well.
“The First Amendment does not allow premeditated plots or coordinated actions to violate the sanctity of a sanctuary, disrupt worship, and intimidate small children,” @ReneeKCarlson said. “There is no ‘press pass’ to invade a sanctuary or to conspire to interrupt religious services.”

We had some storms come through Northern Kentucky this week (which happens regularly) and one of our @ArkEncounter staff took photos of a double rainbow behind the life-size Noah's Ark.
Another reminder of the true meaning of the rainbow:
“I put My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth. And it will be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud, and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.” (Genesis 9:13-15 LSB)
A reminder God will never again send a global Flood on the earth (next time judgment will be by fire). There have been lots of local floods since Noah's day which means Noah's Flood wasn't a local event--it was a global catastrophe as described in Genesis 6-9. That's why we at @AiG are adamant Noah's Flood was global!
