The Family Policy Alliance Report Podcast

Just when you thought you’ve seen it all, each Pride month just seems to top the previous years. This month we’ve seen Pride propaganda being pushed harder than ever – Target, the LA Dodgers, and even the Biden Administration are pushing LGBT ideology in the most farfetched ways.

Christians nationwide are outraged, and most of all, concerned for their children and families. Delano Squires, a Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation and father of four, says we shouldn’t lose hope, especially as Christians. In today’s live video, hear seven of the craziest pride propaganda moments from Pride Month 2023, and learn how a Christian father encourages us to respond. The bottom line? There is so much reason for hope!

1 year ago today, life won. Roe v. Wade was overturned. On June 24, 2022, The Supreme Court came to the conclusion that Roe v. Wade was “egregiously wrong” and incorrectly decided.  After years of limiting the extent to which states and Congress could protect unborn children, the Court finally returned the issue back to the

One year after the overturn of Roe v. Wade, there is still much work to be done. While some states have taken bold steps to protect babies, many need far stronger protections and some are even radically pro-abortion. And the needs extend beyond policies: in all states, women facing unexpected pregnancies need loving support, often found at pregnancy resource centers.

Today, we’re talking with two women from incredible organizations who work tirelessly every day to protect life, one on the policy front and the other with pregnancy resource centers. Join us to hear from Jennifer Roush, Executive Director of the SperaVita Institute, and Karen Bowling, Executive Director of Nebraska Family Alliance, to share their personal stories and encouragement for life #AfterRoe.

Families need fathers, but fathers don’t always feel like they’re needed. In a culture that downplays the importance of fathers for the family, this Father’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the unique and vital role that fathers play.

Theyhey offer words of encouragement and advice for fathers across the nation.

Our guest, Paul Batura, is the Vice President of Communications at Focus on the Family. He has worked closely with both Focus of the Family’s founder, Dr. James C. Dobson, and its current president, Jim Daly, as a writer and adviser. He is a proud father of three adopted sons, and he shares what inspires him as a father, as well as the two greatest things fathers can do for their families.

To kick off Pride month this year, we'll be chatting about something that has taken over the headlines recently - drag performances. The explosion of drag shows has seeped its way into sports, politics, and even schools and libraries. Autumn Leva and Craig DeRoche of Family Policy Alliance talk about how drag performances expose inappropriate content to kids, mock Christian values and women, and why we need to fight against them.

Imagine this: In one wing of a hospital, a premature baby is placed on a ventilator. Under the same roof, a baby the same age is being aborted. Former respiratory therapist AJ Hurley saw this dichotomy firsthand, and it made him realize the urgency of ending abortion.

Now as the Director of Activism at Live Action, one of the nation’s leading pro-life advocacy groups, AJ has dedicated his career to saving the lives of the unborn. He’ll tell us his story as he went from working as a medical professional to a pro-life activist, the story of Baby Olivia, and how you can join him and Live Action in saving lives and ending abortion.

Imagine this scenario: At home, your daughter lives as the girl God made her to be. At school, she claims to be a boy, and her teachers and classmates affirm this. The shocking twist? You, the parent, are left in the dark about her life at school.

Sage’s parents experienced this firsthand when the school their daughter attended kept Sage’s decision to identify as a boy hidden, even after she was sexually assaulted in the boy’s bathroom. And, that was only the beginning of a harrowing tale.

After racing to save Sage from a dangerous path of transgender interventions (and much more), Sage’s parents began sharing her testimony, which eventually inspired the introduction of “Sage’s Law” in the state of Virginia. The bill would require teachers and school officials to inform at least one parent of a child’s gender confusion and to discuss counseling options for the child.

Sage’s story is not easy to hear, but it reminds us of the serious threat of gender ideology poses to our kids – and the importance of protecting parental rights. Josh Hetzler of The Family Foundation (our state ally in Virginia) shares Sage’s story, and how he and his team are fighting to protect kids like Sage. Don’t miss this gripping story!

“Sometimes I would, like, cry for hours on end and I just wouldn't feel anything other than empty,” said Chloe Cole as she recalls how she felt after almost years on cross-sex hormones.

By the time she was 12 years old, Chloe Cole felt she should have been a boy – and she had heard that the only solution was to pursue irreversible bodily changes to make her look more like a boy, too. Chloe began taking male hormones and by age 15 underwent a double mastectomy.

Now 18 years old, Chloe has “detransitioned” (returned to living as a girl) and has been bravely sharing her story nationwide to warn others of the harsh reality of "transitioning” as a minor. Her story gives a shocking insight into the dangers of the transgender interventions for minors who struggle to embrace their God-given sex. Stories like Chloe’s are why we say minors need #HelpNotHarm.

She recounted her transition experience at the Social Conservative Conference (#SoConCon), where we discussed her story and the need for Family Policy Alliance’s work to protect our children.

Here at Family Policy Alliance, we’ve been working on this issue since 2017, when we drafted the first version of a bill to protect minors from transgender interventions. We call them “Help Not Harm” bills because we believe that hurting children deserve a chance at real help, not the harm of hormones and surgeries. Now, just this year alone, at least 21 states around the country have introduced Help Not Harm-style legislation to protect children. The movement is growing!
