In a world where everyone is busy redefining themselves, have we forgotten who defines us? Summary In this Faith + State conversation, Vince Miller and his son-in-law, Representative Elliott Engen, tackle one of the most pressing cultural crises of our time—identity. They expose how politics and ideology have turned identity into a battlefield of self-fabrication and division, contrasting it with God's unchanging design revealed in Scripture. Together they call believers to find their true identity not in feelings, movements, or ideologies—but in Christ alone. Chapter Timestamps 0:00 - Opening banter and intro 0:50 - The political manipulation of identity 2:10 - How identity politics divides and conquers 4:45 - The rise of fabricated identities in culture 7:10 - The gender debate: God's design vs. man's redefinition 9:45 - Loving people without compromising biblical truth 11:30 - Why all identities must be surrendered to Christ 13:40 - The confusion and consequences of self-made identities 16:30 - How believers can respond with conviction and compassion 18:30 - Why the church must address identity and gender directly 25:45 - Finding clarity and purpose through Scripture 28:00 - Final call: Live out your God-given identity Reflection & Small Group Discussion Questions 1. Why do you think identity has become such a central issue in today's culture? 2. How do you see “self-fabricated” identities being promoted in schools, media, and politics? 3. What does Scripture say about where our identity truly comes from (see Genesis 1:27, Ephesians 1:3-7)? 4. Why is it hard for people to accept God's definition of gender and purpose? 5. How can Christians show compassion without compromising biblical truth? 6. What does it mean to “lay down your identity” to receive Christ's identity? 7. How does the world's definition of love differ from God's definition? 8. What practical steps can parents and grandparents take to help younger generations understand identity in Christ? 9. How should the church respond to cultural ideologies that oppose biblical truth? 10. What part of your own identity do you need to surrender to God today?

Tara breaks down the latest revelations surrounding January 6, exposing how Speaker Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for not deploying the National Guard, while the Pentagon and top military officials allegedly ignored President Trump's requests. She explores reports of FBI operatives disguised as protesters, “black bloc” agitators, and Antifa-style actors infiltrating the crowd. Tara connects the dots on how federal agencies may have strategically prevented arrests of violent individuals, raising serious questions about accountability, transparency, and the orchestration of events at the Capitol.

The irony about the question that was posed immediately preceding Charlie Kirk's murder: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years? Is this. How many transgendered people have there actually been in ten years? Did you know that there are no documented transgendered procedures in the U.S. preceding 2016?
We are joined by Bishop Daniel Thomas, shepherd of the Diocese of Toledo, Ohio, to discuss his important pastoral letter on the Catholic response to gender ideology. Register senior contributor Edward Pentin talks about the reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination in the UK, and he gives some updates on notable stories across the Pond.
“Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?” That's what Chloe Cole's psychiatrist asked her parents when they sought guidance about her pursuit of “gender transition.” Well, Chloe did transition, until she realized the devastating consequences of this choice. I'm grateful to talk with Chloe this week as she shares her story of transition, detransition, and meeting Jesus. Truth Rising is a new documentary from the Colson Center and Focus on the Family. It features Chloe Cole's testimony along with other powerful stories. The film points to the reality that truth is not subjective—Jesus is the Truth who brings freedom and life. Watch the full documentary at truthrising.com. The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what's happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

The authors and editors of a new edited volume, Gender Ideology and Pastoral Practice: A Handbook for Catholic Clergy, Counselors, and Ministerial Leaders, represent a tremendous knowledge and experience in theology, philosophy, history, and social politics, and apply it to help us sort how to think about and talk about the recent wave of transgenderism in society and especially among young people. Often clothed in terms of compassion and acceptance, transgender advocates encourage young people to make permanent surgical changes to their bodies, bodies that many will soon regret. So, how do we counsel them? Christianity is fundamentally committed to compassion and love (caritas, agape) and opposed to judgement (Mt. 7:1) yet also committed to truth. And true love does not mean letting young people make permanent mistakes that they do not fully understand—so it's a real pickle! We talk it over on Almost Good Catholics. This episode was recorded in the sede vacante moment between the death of Pope Francis and the election of Pope Leo XIV. Also, this episode is intended to be the first of two, with a second one following up in the near future with an interview with a transgender advocate in the coming weeks.

Agencies were required to cancel any diversity-related training programs and disband employee resource groups that focused on gender inclusion. Federal employees also had to remove pronouns from their email signatures. The White House says the requirements are meant to combat what it calls “gender ideology extremism.” But advocates of diversity, equity and inclusion say the new policies are harmful to transgender and non-binary employees.

In this explosive Friday wrap-up, Kirk and James dive deep into today's most pressing topics—from Israel's strikes on Iran and Trump's response, to gender politics and Supreme Court rulings. They explore ancient biblical roots of conflict in the Middle East, highlight the role of faith in national leadership, and react to modern culture's slide into AI worship and drag performances in government chambers. This powerful episode calls believers to action—through prayer, truth, and standing strong for biblical values in a chaotic world.
As we mark 3 years since the Dobbs decision came down and the fall of Roe, Lous Brown of Christ Medicus Foundation discusses where we go from here and in light of the Supreme Court win last week on transgender surgeries being banned in Tennessee, he also sheds light on the real dangers impacting our culture and our children--and what we as Catholics must do to combat them--especially assisted suicide. We also talk with Professor Michael Hurley of Cambridge University about why angels matter—"not just as old religious stories or symbols, but as real, created spiritual beings essential to understanding God and the world." Resident TCA chaplain Msgr. Roger Landry also celebrates the 50th anniversary of Josemaria Escriva and the "revolution of holiness" that he invites us all to join.

In the image of God, He created them: male and female. He created them.Women and men were created by the Great God Jehovah in HIS image and there were simply two of us, two sexes:MALE AND FEMALEMAN AND WOMANNo more. And we were like Him, created in His IMAGE. So much for the issue of gender identity. And so much for LGBTQIA+. There was at the BEGINNING a man and a woman and no more and that is the way it is now.Such a creation was confirmed by our Lord Jesus Christ who said in the book of Matthew:“HAVE YOU NOT READ THAT HE WHO MADE THEM AT THE BEGINNING MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.”So, my fellow Christians and fellow Americans, there were male and female at the beginning of creation and there were male and female only as confirmed by Jesus Christ. So much for gender identity.Women are special, every bit as much as any man. Examine the lives of Sarah, Hannah, and Mary in scripture, fantastic, exemplary women in every sense and more. There was Deborah, a woman of incredible strength and wisdom. There was Esther, full of determination and as brave as any woman could be, straight and honest. And then there was Ruth, a woman with incredible endurance and perseverance. And then there was Lydia, entrepreneurial and aggressive, as competent as any man. If you are a woman, created by God to be a woman, and never to even think about the ridiculous subject of transgender you should be proud, grateful, and live the life of the woman as God intended and make the world a better place. If you are a woman, you were created by God to be special, to live a life full exemplary and extraordinary and energetically and gratefully and you should know that we men salute you, honor you, and respect you.Our President Donald Trump agrees. He now goes about the task of defending women from Gender Ideology and in his words:“RESTORING BIBLICAL TRUTH TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND FOR ALL AMERICANS.”President Trump echoes Genesis 1:27 and Matthew 19:4 and averse that the policy of the United States of America will now be:“TO RECOGNIZE TWO SEXES, MALE AND FEMALE.”And no more. Trump further states that FEMALE means “a personal belonging at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.” So that, one of the very highest purposes in life is the reproduction of another human being by a female and every woman who becomes mother should understand that the birth of another male or female is the highest possible calling she could have so says the Great God Almighty.But it seems, sadly, that our culture demeans women and seems to devalue their ability to birth and nourish life. It discredits the decision of a woman to choose family values and birth and raise children of their own. It fosters gender identity in so many ways, indoctrinates the young and students especially, affirms and celebrates gender-altering procedures such as surgical mutilation, puberty blockers, and damaging hormone-blocking therapies. It honors biological males who have tried to transition to a female identity and it champions their right now as so-called transgendered females to enter into girl's bathrooms, locker rooms and other traditionally female-only areas. It champions the right of these transgender men to participate in girls sports and it seeks to redefine the definition of a WOMAN in every way possible. All of that is wrong, absolutely wrong, immoral, unscriptural, and the whole new world of gender identity and transgenderism if not defeated will radically change if not destroy America itself. We should be grateful for the aggressive STAND of President Trump who, at least for the next four years, will make certain that gender identity will recognize two sexes, and only a biological male and female as both the world of scripture and biology so indicate.Listen to the words of one male who underwent hormone therapy and sex-change genital surgery. This man lived as a woman for eight years, but he finally faced the truth and testified:“HORMONES AND SURGERY MAY ALTER APPEARNANCES, BUT NOTHING CHANGES THE IMMUTABLE FACT OF YOUR SEX.”NOTHING!There is no higher calling than to be a woman, a real woman. That real woman who decides to become life, and mother, and raise a child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord should have the deepest respect from other women and all men, and especially a husband and father. Each year, we celebrate Mother's Day. Next year, we should really, really celebrate mothers' day, honor the women who are mother's and all women with an understanding, respect, admiration and love as never before. You, the female created by God Almighty are special, to a man, a child, a family, and to all. You are one of two, only two:MALE AND FEMALE.
