J.R. Harrison is the director of the National Family Foundation while Rob Pue is the founder - publisher of Wisconsin Christian News.--The natural family is under attack and targeted for destruction. Just look at how America has redefined terms such as -marriage-, -family-, -male- and -female-. When changed, what's to stop them from expanding to unknown levels-- --Consider the hijacking of our calendar. Gay pride day has turned into gay pride month. Now the GLAAD LGBTQ calendar has the following- February 7th--National Black HIV-AIDS Awareness Day. The week after Valentine's Day--Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week. February 28--HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day. March--Bisexual Health Awareness Month. Also in March--National LGBT Health Awareness Week. There's many more that could be listed from throughout the year but you get the point.--Instead of reacting by cursing the darkness, Rob Pue and J.R. Harrison is instead lighting a candle in celebration of what's being called, -Natural Family Month-, which extends from Mother's Day to Father's Day. It's not about complaining. Instead, it's an attempt to take a positive approach by citing a historical, best practice.--To find out how you can get a Natural Family Month celebration started in your community and what's involved in the natural family promise, listen to this broadcast and then go to the link below.

News Roundup and Comment

This broadcast highlights the sentencing of pro-lifers as a result of allegedly violating the FACE -Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances- Act. For example---Joan Andrews Bell, sentenced to 27 months in jail, community service and a -125 fine.-Lauren Handy, sentenced to 4 years in prison, 3 years supervision and a -125 fine.-John Hinshaw, sentenced to one year and a -125 fine.-Will Goodman, sentenced to 18 months and a -125 fine.--These are just 4 of several pro-lifers that Jim referred to from a recent LifeSite News article showing how the Biden administration is willing to use the Department of Justice as a weapon to silence their political enemies and perpetuate the killing of the unborn.--Juxtapose these sentences with those of carjackers, those who've attacked churches since the leak of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, those who've attacked pro-life pregnancy centers, illegal aliens and more.--How is this equal justice under the law when such individuals are conspiring to be peaceful on behalf of those who have no voice-- That question is answered as Jim presented the facts, and listeners responded, on this edition of Crosstalk.

Harsh Sentences Unleashed on Pro-Lifers

Mark Hancock is CEO of Trail Life USA and author of, Why Are We Sitting Here Until We Die----Sadly, we live in a society today that's lost its way to such an extent that many don't even seem to know the difference between male and female. Gender confused males are dominating women's sports and now the Boy Scouts, once known for their values and deep respect for both God and country, are dropping the word -Boy- from their name, changing it to -Scouting America-.--Since the Scouts have seemingly taken the next step down the slippery slope, is there an alternative-- Yes there is. It's called Trail Life USA. Mark described how it all started in June of 2013 when about 50 people gathered in Louisville, Kentucky. 68 days later an inaugural convention took place at Nashville, Tennessee, where 1,200 people came from 44 states. That's where they announced the name and the general line of the program. 3 months later, on January 1, 2014, the program was officially launched. Since that time they've grown to over 1,200 troops in all 50 states with nearly 60,000 members. --Review this edition of Crosstalk to learn about their motto, their core value, the connection to local churches, their outdoor focus, servant leadership and other hallmarks that make this organization a God-pleasing choice for helping young boys become men of Christ.

Decline of Boy Scouts Leads to a Christian Alternative

The 77th World Health Assembly takes place from May 27th through June 1st in Geneva, Switzerland. The theme is, -All for health, health for all.- This assembly is the main decision making body of the World Health Organization, comprised of 194 member states.--What this assembly has in store for us is what brought Mat Staver back to Crosstalk. Mat is founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. He's a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--Mat noted that just a few years ago there were members of the U.S. Congress that believed the World Health Organization is merely an advisory organization and couldn't be legally binding. Is that really true----First of all, what is the World Health Organization-- The WHO is a U.N. agency located in Geneva, Switzerland, that is pushing what Mat referred to as two different tracks. One has to do with up to 300 amendments dealing with their international health regulations. The other track involves the drafting of a brand new pandemic agreement-treaty. The WHO is trying to get these passed by the 194 member nations of which the U.S. is one. All they need is a simple majority of nations to agree to pass these regulations. This would change the WHO from being an advisory body to one whose statements and advisories would be legally binding under international law on member nations.--Can President Biden unilaterally sign the U.S. under the WHO without approval from the U.S. Senate, and if so, why would he do it-- How could this be challenged-- What might this mean for our national sovereignty and freedom--

Last week, Israel marked their Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time when they remember 6 million Jews that were killed by the Nazi regime.

Dr. Schmidt is pastor of Union Grove Baptist Church and founder of Prophecy Focus Ministries. He is the speaker on the weekly TV program, Prophecy Focus and the radio broadcast, Prophecy Unfolding. He spent 32 years in law enforcement including that of Acting Sheriff of Milwaukee County until his retirement.--This edition of Crosstalk covered a lot of ground as Jim and Dr. Schmidt discussed the following--The latest news concerning Israel's attack on Rafah. The U.S. has warned against this, communicating that there could be ramifications for the relationship between the nations if this occurs. --What's happening with the arms shipments between the U.S. and Israel-- --What does the Bible say about antisemitism in these last days-- Will Israel be wiped off the face of the earth-- --What's the latest on the college-university, pro-Hamas-pro-Palestinian protests----Audio from Tarik Ata, an Imam from California, who was pushing for the Islamic faith and the infliction of pain as he gave his opinion on the Israel-Hamas war. --In spite of all this, Israel continues to show their national resilience.
