Jesus told his disciples to "count the cost" before they renounced their former lives and followed him. Prior to Jesus calling them to consider the cost, Jesus made his disciples aware of the reality that they could - and would - die for being associated with him.
Today is not unlike any other time in history. Oh, sure, technological advancements have made some things look different, but we are still engaged in the same battle of good versus evil that has existed since the Fall. Today, like any other day, Truth is under attack by Lies; Good is assaulted by Evil; and Light is threatened continually by Darkness.
In the West, particularly, it seems that egalitarian lies from the 1960s have given rise to a major shift in our society. Christ is no longer cherished, much less tolerated, by the broader populous. Instead, the once great, Christian nations of the West are plunging back into paganism and idolatry. The mercy of God alone stands in the way of their complete free-fall into sin.

How do we remain strong and committed to the Truth of God's Word in the midst of rising opposition and persecution? How will you and your family live boldly for Christ when it could cost your job, social standing, and more?
The purpose of this ministry is to provide you, and especially men, with biblical resources for today's spiritual and cultural battles. We exist to inspire you to go beyond the normal because Christ wins.

But the senses grow dulled the more one allows and practices sin, and soon one’s feelings are numbed. This is why truth must inform our feelings – not the other way around" (excerpt from Sister, Cover Your Nakedness).

"I was a high school English teacher who refused to go along with the farce of gender theory," says Jordan Cernek. "Although I lost my job for it in 2023, I held firm to the belief that there are only two sexes and that lying to kids was more harmful than telling them the truth."
