CCV Policy Director David Mahan testified on two key Ohio bills protecting children: the Baby Olivia Act, which teaches human development from conception in schools, and the Indecent Exposure Modernization Act, which strengthens public indecency laws to keep minors safe.

Clare Morell, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, joins The Narrative to discuss why she's calling for Americans to consider a smartscreen-free childhood for their children. Drawing from groundbreaking research and her new book, The Tech Exit, she outlines practical steps for families and policy solutions that are gaining national momentum. She also explains why schools, churches, and communities must lead a countercultural movement toward real human connection and spiritual renewal.

After the news, Joel Penton joins for an in-depth conversation on LifeWise Academy, the fastest-growing Bible education movement in US public schools. Joel shares how his team is bringing faith-based instruction to over 100,000 students in 1,100 schools across 34 states, the challenges and controversies surrounding this unprecedented effort, and what inspired his new documentary, Off School Property.

Two of Center for Christian Virtue’s (CCV) priority bills received hearings this week—and we were on the frontlines, helping turn biblical principles into action at the Statehouse. Together, these two bills protect children and promote the flourishing of Ohio communities. CCV will continue to testify, advise lawmakers, and stand at the frontlines—because Ohio families, children, and life deserve a faithful advocate in the Statehouse.

Our quarterly Prayer at the Statehouse is a bold public witness that reminds our legislators (and each other) that Jesus is Lord over all. In fact, many of our Christian legislators rely on this witness and the prayers of believers like you to continue fighting the good fight.

The fight to protect children is gaining ground—Nationwide Children's Hospital just ended "gender-affirming" care for minors.

Together, HB324 and HB347 push back the culture of death with truth and compassion. CCV will continue to stand at the frontlines, testifying, bringing in expert witnesses, and advancing policies that defend life.

The countdown is on— The Essential Summit is just around the corner, and if you haven’t registered yet, now is the time to act!

With secular ideologies saturating public institutions, Christian education is more than a preference—it’s a calling.

Join us in two weeks for the Ohio March for Life on Friday, October 3.

The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk has forced every Christian to confront a sobering question: How do we live faithfully when the culture grows hostile to truth?

Center for Christian Virtue (CCV), in partnership with Independent Women’s Forum (IWF), has filed an amicus brief with the Ohio Supreme Court in Moe v. Yost, urging the Court to uphold Ohio’s Saving Ohio Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act. The SAFE Act, enacted in 2024, prohibits harmful and experimental gender transition procedures—including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries—on children.

What if every pastor and church leader across Ohio gathered for just one day—united in purpose, equipped in truth, and empowered to restore what is broken?
