New York to become 30th state to join federal school choice tax credit program

The Left’s Plot to Erase Western Civilization with Scott Jennings

CNN political commentator Scott Jennings delivers a direct indictment of a radical anti-American movement that has hijacked traditional liberal politics. This movement replaces paychecks with pronouns and border security with radicalism.

The Courage to Protect, the Grace to Grieve

The Apostle Paul gives us a clear mandate in Romans 12:9: “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.” In a world that often confuses "love" with "blanket affirmation," we must remember that true pastoral love is never indifferent to evil. To love our neighbors—especially the most vulnerable among us—means we must have the courage to confront the behaviors that put them at risk.

The Church’s Role in Restoring the Foundation of Family

The Church’s Role in Restoring the Foundation of Family

The implications of a broken family structure reach far beyond the home. In Ohio, CCV’s research has uncovered a devastating correlation: roughly 89 percent of women seeking abortions in our state were unmarried. It is becoming increasingly clear that we cannot address the "symptoms" of our cultural decay—abortion, poverty, or the mental health crisis—without first restoring the biblical foundation of marriage.

In the midst of this, however, there is a profound reason for hope. Throughout history, whenever the culture has faltered, the Church has been the restorative force. During the First Great Awakening, the great theologian Jonathan Edwards understood that the health of the nation was tied to the health of the home.

From Barriers to Bridges

Through the incredible success of the Ohio Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) program, thousands of Ohio families have found the financial bridge they needed to access affordable Christian education.

However, the removal of this financial barrier has revealed a new, more pressing challenge: We have run out of desks. The "deserts" C.S. Lewis spoke of are being irrigated so rapidly that our current "tents" are bursting at the seams. In many of our communities, there are no longer financial barriers—only physical ones.

However, in the last 30 days, a beautiful and quiet revolution has continued to take root right here in the Buckeye State—one that we should celebrate as a profound movement of God’s grace.

Across Ohio, the surge in Christian education and the massive success of the Ohio Scholarship Granting Organization (SGO) program are bearing fruit that is truly good, true, and beautiful.

American families are fleeing Blue States as the "Big Family Sort" continues across the country. The Family Structure Indexcreated by the Institute for Family Studies and Center for Christian Virtue, reveals that families are migrating from high-tax, anti-family states like California to Red States that prioritize religious freedom and affordable living.

Brad Wilcox joins Aaron, David, and Mike to discuss how Red State policies offer the stability required for marriage to flourish. They make it clear that to protect Ohio’s future, we must reject failing secular models and champion a culture that anchors economic success in biblical family values.
