We'll have full election results breakdown / reaction on next Live Free episode, but some quick thoughts...

1) The Sovereignty of God over all things is a deep comfort. As the old Christian saying goes, "I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow."

“For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over the nations; God sits on his holy throne.” (Psalm 47)

2) It is sad and grievous. Romans 1 says God’s “passive wrath” is when he “gives them up” to their sin and evil desires – when He stops restraining a people from destroying themselves and lets them have the evil things they want.

The United States intentionally chose things like max-boosting infant murder up to the moment of birth, legislated sexual perversion that will wreak havoc on a rising generation, the expansion of Islamic influence on our nation, elected leaders openly hostile to Christianity, and in at least 2 cases (TX and Kansas) chose what the New Testamant would define as (and I do not say this lightly or flippantly) demonic, apostate false teachers to lead them.

This is an example of Romans 1 playing out before your eyes.

3) There is no political solution to a spiritual problem. Politics cannot fix what politics did not break, and Mankind was broken long before any political system.

The hope of the world has been and remains Jesus Christ, reformation and revival in our nation that has the ability to reach inside the chests of men and women and make them new men and women who want (and vote for) new things.

Christ is the only way out of the chaos.

4) Important lessons to be learned for conservatives. Wisdom would not be to blame *everything* on "dumb / evil voters."

Basic leadership: "Face the brutal facts (learn and adjust), maintain unwavering faith."

5) Sadness is ok, but despair is a sin. "Therefore, we DO NOT lose heart" (2 Cor 4:16).

Head up, chest out, knees down, glory up... do not grow weary in doing good, we build and fight (Nehemiah).

What are we going to do? Get up with joy in our eyes, love in our hearts, steel in our spines and keep assaulting heaven for an outpouring of God's Spirit, sharing Christ, planting churches, making disciples and deploying them in all areas of society in eager anticipation of the next Great Awakening in our land.

Tomb's still empty, y'all :)

6) We do what the people of God have always done in time of need: WE PRAY.

See you at Encounter tonight at all Lakepointe campuses at 7pm, doors open early for you to come and "pray for the prayer meeting."

FAKE FEMINISTS: Women's org celebrates man for International Women's Day

You know, Canada used to produce real feminists.

Women who actually fought for women. Women who risked their reputations, their safety, and sometimes even their freedom to win basic rights that seem obvious today.

One of the most prominent examples of that fight happened right here in Canada with a group known as the “Famous Five.”

In the 1920s, Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Edwards, Louise McKinney and Irene Parlby took on the Canadian government over a simple but outrageous question: Were women legally considered “persons”?

Yes. That was the actual legal question.

At the time, women could not sit in the Senate because the law only allowed “qualified persons.” And according to the courts, that word did not include women.

So, the Famous Five challenged the system.

They fought their case all the way to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Britain and in 1929 they won the historic Persons Case, which affirmed that women were indeed persons under the law.

It was a foundational victory for women’s political rights in Canada. Their legacy is supposed to be about defending women as a distinct class with their own rights and interests. Which makes what just happened in Ottawa so astonishing.

Because the Famous Five Foundation — the organization that claims to carry on the legacy of those women — has decided to honour a biological man.

Not just any man.

A man who has openly advocated for silencing women who defend women-only spaces. His name is Fae Johnstone, a prominent activist in Canada’s trans lobby.

Through organizations like Queer Momentum and Wisdom2Action, groups that together receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in public and institutional funding, he has built a professional advocacy career pushing gender ideology into Canadian institutions and fighting against parents' rights.

That advocacy often comes with a very clear message to women: fall in line or be shut up — or worse.

Women who question whether female-only spaces, sports, shelters or prisons should remain female-only are routinely labelled hateful, bigoted or dangerous by activists in this movement and by Johnstone more specifically.

In other words, women who try to defend the very rights that the Famous Five fought to establish are treated like enemies.

And yet, somehow, the Famous Five Foundation in Ottawa decided this was the person worthy of recognition as part of International Women's Day.

Think about the absurdity of that for a moment.

The women who fought to have women recognized as persons are now being invoked to celebrate a man who believes womanhood is simply a matter of personal identification.

A movement that once fought to define women as a legal and biological reality is now apparently comfortable honouring someone who insists those boundaries don’t exist at all.

And this isn’t the first time institutions have tried to sell Canadians this idea.

Johnstone was previously the keynote speaker at the YWCA Regina’s Women of Distinction Awards, another event meant to celebrate women’s achievements — but apparently now open to men who identify as women.

At some point, we have to ask the obvious question: If awards for women keep going to men, what exactly is left that belongs to women?

It’s institutional cowardice dressed up as progress. Real feminism used to mean defending women, even when it was unpopular. Even when powerful people didn’t like it.

The Famous Five challenged the establishment because women were being erased from the definition of “persons.” Today, their legacy is being used to applaud the erasure of women from their own spaces.

If Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung could see what their foundation is doing now, they would probably ask a very simple question: After everything we fought for… how did it come to this?

Because the truth is, the people running these institutions today are not continuing the legacy of the Famous Five. They’re dismantling it.

Erika Kirk forgives the man who murdered her husband:

"My husband Charlie...he wanted to save young men just like the one who took his life...that young man...

I forgive him.

I forgive him because it was what Christ did and is what Charlie would do."

[Jason Howerton @jason_howerton]

I’m trying, brother. I’m trying.

[Fox News @FoxNews]

Erika Kirk recalls the heartbreaking moment her young daughter asked her: "Where's Daddy?"

"What do you tell a 3-year-old? She's three. I said, 'Baby, Daddy loves you so much. Don't you worry, he's on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget."

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

We wept bitterly putting this together...

Charlie Kirk did not fear death. Charlie told us what his legacy would be. Charlie's greatest passion was his faith in Jesus Christ.

Just hours before he was assassinated, Charlie stood on stage, openly proclaiming his love for Jesus Christ. Unafraid, unwavering, and full of conviction. He lived every moment guided by that faith, and in the end, he was taken home by his Savior.

Charlie is a true Christian martyr.

His example is not just inspiring, it is a call to all of us. To stand firm in our beliefs, to shine light into darkness, speak truth and to live boldly in our faith. Charlie showed us what it means to live, and die, with purpose.

This is the legacy he leaves...

[Stephanie Glisson @S_Glisson11]

@mark_slapinski Yes absolutely, let’s call it what it is.
The Dr will be in on Tuesday @ 10:00 to take your life, no different than taking a gun in and pulling the trigger. Breaks my heart this is becoming a “normal” thing.

[Stephanie Glisson @S_Glisson11]

Carney was in White Rock, there were Conservative signs and not one Liberal sign…he definitely had more media than followers, with all this media how is it possible that it’s not reported accurately ? This is a rhetorical question.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this.

[Dan Crenshaw @DanCrenshawTX]

This truly puts things in perspective. Never forget.

[USA NEWS 🇺🇸 @usanewshq]

All of the billboards in Times Square were shut off and then lit up with the true meaning of Christmas:

The birth of Jesus Christ

The mainstream media censored this! Let's make it go VIRAL!

Angela Carini was forced to compete in a boxing match against Imane Khelif at the Olympics.

She quit 46 seconds in after getting punched in the face. Imane was declared the winner.

Khelif failed gender eligibility tests at the 2023 World Championships.

Poor girl. She trained her whole life for this. The Olympics sanctions violence against women.

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

This is crazy. Opening your event by replacing Jesus and the disciples at the The Last Supper with men in drag. There are 2.4 billion Christians on earth and apparently the Olympics wanted to declare loudly to all of them, right out of the gate
NOT WELCOME

1) Transgender "top and bottom" surgery is banned for minors aged 17 and under in Alberta.
2) Puberty and hormone blockers banned for those aged 15 and under. Those aged 16 or 17 require parental consent.
3) Parental notification and an "opt-in" requirement will be required for each instance a school teacher intends to give formal instruction on gender, sexual orientation or human sexuality.
4) For minors aged 15 and under, parental notification and consent will be required for any change in name or pronouns. For minors aged 16 or 17, parental notification for name or pronoun changes is required.
5) The Alberta government will work with sporting organizations to ensure biological women and girls have the choice to compete in athletic competitions in a women-only division without any trans-identifying males.

Thoughts? 🤔

@cinba8686 @Prairielily22 @ABDanielleSmith @MarvinMilton2 I was the president of our Union when we were trying to build a new schedule and they told me it was impossible.

[Stephanie Glisson @S_Glisson11]

@cinba8686 @Prairielily22 @ABDanielleSmith @MarvinMilton2 Yes but you can not have 8 hr and 12 hr shifts it has to be one or the other.
