The opening weeks of the Trump presidency have featured a flurry of Executive Orders aimed not only to reverse the policies and priorities of the Biden Administration but also to advance the Trump administration's vision of the good. Indeed, on the day of President Trump's inauguration he placed himself in the middle of the Capital One Arena indowntown DC before a giant rally of his supporters to begin signing these Executive Orders (or EOs). This relatively unprecedented practice of drawing attention to the signing of EOs speaks to how significant they are at altering the political and legal terrain. Some of the most impactful of these EOs concern matters touching on human sexuality and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. We'll discuss those EOs with attorney Mary Rice Hasson. She is the Kate O'Beirne Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., where she co-founded and directs the Person and Identity Project, aninitiative that equips parents and faith-based institutions to promote the truth about the human person and counter gender ideology. An attorney and policy expert, Mary has been a keynote speaker for the Holy See during theUnited Nations Commission on the Status of Women, addressing education, women and work, caregiving, and gender ideology, and serves as a consultant to theU.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family, Life and Youth.The co-author of several books on education, Mary's writinghas appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, National Review, First Things, the National Catholic Register and OurSunday Visitor, among others.A graduate of the University of Notre Dame and Notre DameLaw School, Mary is married to Seamus Hasson, and they are parents of seven grown children and grandparents of seven.Much of our discussion springs from this article she co-authored inFirst Things.

In a recent episode of Morning Air, John Morales explores the topic of transgender surgeries for minors, featuring invaluable insights from Mary Rice Hasson, an attorney and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. They talk about the controversial practices at Boston Children's Hospital and the lies of gender-affirming care. The Issue at Hand: Boston Children's Hospital has been under scrutiny for performing sex-change surgeries on minors, despite media claims to the contrary. Publicly available documents confirm that procedures such as gender-affirming hysterectomies are indeed being performed on children. Mary Rice Hasson's Perspective: Mary Rice Hasson highlights the underlying problem: the belief that gender identity can and should be altered to match a person's feelings, rather than accepting the biological reality of being male or female. Simply because you feel a certain way doesn't mean you are that way. Our culture puts way too much emphasis on feelings, and not enough on realty. The Bigger Picture: This issue has gained momentum over the past decade, with the Biden administration pushing gender identity policies in schools and healthcare. Don't lose hope thinking you're alone in promoting the truth, though. You should be encouraged to know that many people are taking a stand, especially Catholics. Key Points from the Discussion: Medical and Ethical Concerns: Many hospitals, including Boston Children's, perform irreversible surgeries on minors, often leading to sterilization. These practices are criticized as exploiting vulnerable young people for profit, without addressing underlying mental health issues. These hospitals are in it for themselves, not for your children. Cultural Impact: The propagation of gender identity ideology has led to increased confusion and pressure on children and parents. Mary Rice Hasson says that true affirmation should be based on accepting one's biological sex as a gift from God, rather than altering the body. Parental Challenges: Parents often face emotional blackmail, being told their child's life depends on transitioning. They face so much pressure to go along with what their kids want because they're afraid their children will do something drastic to harm themselves. There is a critical need for parents to have open, honest conversations with their children about their feelings and the reality of their bodies. Final Thoughts: Mary Rice Hasson encourages Catholics and all people to speak up against these practices and to educate themselves and others about the truth of human sexuality. Emphasizing the teachings of the Church, she calls for a return to recognizing the inherent dignity and unchangeable nature of being created male or female. Let's keep this conversation going and ensure that the truth about our human identity is upheld and protected.

"There is a connection between some of the things we're seeing in the culture today and contraception because that's where a lot of confusion set in. As a culture, we shifted our priorities. Sex became about personal pleasure and no longer about relationships and marriage and welcoming children," said Mary Rice Hasson, J.D., the Kate O'Beirne Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. She directs the Catholic Women's Forum, a network of Catholic professional women and scholars, and co-founded the Person and Identity Project, a new initiative that equips parents and faith-based institutions to counter gender ideology and promote the truth of the human person. "That attitude has really permeated so much of our culture in ways that are tremendously damaging to children."

Transgenderism is a growing concern for the Church as more and more parents and kids are convinced to take part in gender treatments from a young age. Mary Rice Hasson talks about the danger of accepting gender dysphoria as healthy and provides practical support for how to combat this dysphoria. Questions Covered: 23:38 – How should Christians respond to the claim that “gender is a social construct”? 35:13 – Why is it such a big deal if someone lives their life as they see fit? Being so anti-LGBTQ is turning people away from Jesus. Why do you have to say you’re right and they’re wrong? 44:04 – My child is 17, almost 18. She has autism and she mirrors behavior.

George Orwell once said, "There are some ideas so stupid that only intellectuals believe them." I am not an intellectual and it's my belief that you are not one either. So when we are confronted with a new idea we need to evaluate them. We need to see if they have merit, see if they are true or false. We finished the first section of our series How to Survive in a Post-Christian World. We learned that God has appointed our leaders and for that reason, we are to subject ourselves to their leadership except when they ask us to disobey God. We learned that we are to love our neighbors even when they hate us and persecute us. And we learned that in these last days we need to wake up, put off the deeds of darkness, and put on the armor of light. Today we will begin our new section with a question. It is a True or False question. I will ask this question in just a moment, but I want you to refrain from shouting out your answer. I want you to keep your answer to the question to yourself. And a little later we will answer it aloud. Here is the question: True or False – All roads that lead to God are good. Today the one thing you will learn is how to answer that question and any other question that may come your way. Let’s pray Test the Spirits Turn in your Bible to 1 John 4:1-3. I opened this lesson with a question, is this a true or false statement – All roads that lead to God are good. A little later we will answer that question. But first we have to cover some ground. We need to learn the fundamentals on how to know whether something is true or false. Follow along as I read from 1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. The idea of “testing” or “trying” the spirits is found elsewhere in the Bible. Leave a finger at 1 John 4 but turn to 1 Thessalonians 5:20:22 Do not despise prophecies. 21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. I want to take 1 John and 1 Thessalonians and mash the two passages together. In 1 Thessalonians we are told to “Test all things.” In 1 John we are told to “test the spirits.” Let’s start with “the spirits” of 1 John. We know that the Holy Spirit is God. John just mentioned the Holy Spirit in the last verse of chapter three. So we know of the Holy Spirit, but this passage tells us that there are even more spirits in this world and we must test them. What does it mean to test? It means to make a critical examination of something; to determine the genuineness of something; to really examine it. The Greek word for test is used for metallurgy. It is the test that a goldsmith would use to test the purity of gold. We should never take something at face value. We should evaluate it. We should make sure it is genuine. We should check its purity. We make these evaluations 1,000s of times per day. Every time we sit on a chair we determine whether or not it will hold. When we drive our cars down the road or over a bridge the mind evaluates whether or not it will hold. These tests are based on past experience. It has held before. It will hold this time. In 1994, here in Westminster, Robert Knight took a dinner break from his job at the sewer treatment plant, jumped in his car, and drove toward town to get some food. It was 2 am. As he drove along route 31, all of a sudden the road was no longer there and Robert in his van plunged into a sinkhole that measured 45 feet wide and 18 feet deep. He died a few hours later in shock trauma. We ask ourselves, why did Robert drive route 31 if there was a possibility that a sinkhole might swallow him up? Why didn’t he take another road? The reason he drove on that road without any fear is that the road had never swallowed him up before or anyone else for that matter. He made an evaluation based on past experiences. We do this all the time. Faith is an evaluation based on past experiences. We know that God will do such in such because He has always done so in the past. Past experiences or faith is one test but there are others. Another test is the doctrine of Christ. The First Test – Jesus John is not worrying about sinkholes or even matters that we can evaluate with past experience. John is focused on things pertaining to Jesus, to spiritual matters. How can we determine if a religious idea, a religious person, or a religious institution is genuine? One way is to see what they say about Jesus. 1 John is an early response to an early version of Gnosticism. Gnosticism believed that Jesus was not God and that Jesus was spirit. Gnostics believed that Jesus did not have a body. Gnostics believe that all things physical are bad and all things spiritual are good. In the time of 1 John they believed that Jesus was an emanation, a spirit, and did not have a body. What does that wrong thinking do to the crucifixion? What does it do to the resurrection? Look back at 1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. You can see in verses 2 and 3 John’s response to the Gnostics. Something is false if it believes Jesus did not come in the flesh. Jesus is God incarnate. Jesus came to this earth in full humanity The Holy Spirit (v2) testifies to the true nature of God the Son. Satan and false prophets distort the nature of Jesus. Satan is a liar and a murderer. His false prophets are the same. (John 8:44) He wants to keep you from salvation. He wants to kill you spiritually forever. There are other things about Jesus you must believe. They too can be used to test an idea, person, or institution. Jesus is God the Son. Jesus died on the cross for the sins of the world. Jesus rose again bodily on the 3rd day Salvation is only through Jesus Satan and his false prophets want to keep you from truly understanding and believing on Jesus because Jesus is God and salvation only comes through Jesus. You can test a spirit or everything by what they believe concerning Jesus. Here is a question you can ask when you are uncertain about someone’s faith or ideas: Who is Jesus to you? The Word In a few minutes, we will answer our True or False question. Don’t shout it out. Keep your answer quiet. I will give you an opportunity to share in a bit. But remember the question is: True or False – All roads that lead to God are good. There is a second test that we need to use when we are confronted by something. It is the Word test. We have been looking at 1 John 4 and also considering 1 Thessalonians 5:20-22 In both passages, prophecy is mentioned. In 1 Thessalonians Paul tells us not to despise prophecies. In 1 John, John warns us about false prophets. What does Paul mean in 1 Thessalonians when he tells us not to despise prophecies? The word “prophecies” can mean the spoken revelation from God. That’s the way I always imagine prophecies. Some longhaired, crazy-eyed prophet standing up on a hill shouting out, “Thus saith the LORD!!!” But the word prophecies can mean the written word of God. In fact, the idea of the written word is meant more often than spoken. An example is found in 2 Peter 1:19-21 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. Paul is saying that when the Word is preached, taught, or read we are to take it seriously. We must not reject it. We must receive it. Do not despise the Word. Example of the Word Test A perfect example of this can be found in Acts 17:10-12. If you have walked with Christ for any amount of time you are familiar with the story of the Bereans. Christians admire the Bereans. Many churches bear their name – Berean Bible Church, Berean Baptist Church.... Why so? Let’s read and find out. Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. The Bereans did not take what Paul said at face value. They tested his words and they tested him. They did so by comparing him and his words to Scripture. Why did they do this? It was their nature. It was who they were as a synagogue. They were people of the Word. They studied it with eagerness. So it was natural for them to use the Word as a tool to test whether or not something was true. Pray to God that we too would be a church of the Word. The Word of God is what we should use to test everything. Let’s go back to our question. I will ask it again and now you will give me your answer. Don’t shout it out. Rather let’s do a show of hands. If you believe it is True when I say “All roads that lead to God are good.” Then raise your hand. If you believe it is False when I say the same raise your hands. The answer is False. Why? We want to be like the Bereans. What verse or passage should we use to test this question? John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. I think it’s time for a pop quiz. I gave you time to think about your answer to the True or False question. How here comes one and I will not give you any time to think about it. But I will help you with this hint. Hint: You can find a passage to help you evaluate this idea in the Book of Genesis. There, I have eliminated 65 other Bible books. Here is the idea to evaluate. On Thursday, February 25, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives Passed the Equality Act. The act is not yet law because it has to pass the Senate. But if it does, many things in the US will change. Here is one change that we can test. If Equality Act passes the Senate, we will no longer be allowed to identify people by biological gender. No longer will there be males or females, boys or girls. What is a Bible passage, found in the book of Genesis, that will help you test this new idea? Genesis 1:27 and 5:2 If you would like to read more about the impact the Equity Act can have on our society, Mary Rice Hasson wrote an opinion piece for Newsweek Magazine titled The Equity Act and the End of Females. https://www.newsweek.com/equality-act-end-females-opinion-1571432 Also, The Heritage Foundation has an article The Equity Act – How Could Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws Affect You? https://www.heritage.org/gender/heritage-explains/the-equality-act Remember, don’t despise or dismiss or reject God’s Word. Read it with eagerness. God is using it to teach you. And you can use the Word to test everything. Conclusion The Apostle John warned about false prophets. False prophets are everywhere. They are writing books. They are on TV and radio. They are on social media. And they even occupy the halls of government. They use all forms of media – print, broadcast, and the internet. Every day they feed you with their false doctrine and corrupt ideas. How can you test these people, test their ideas, and test their organizations? Find out what they think about Jesus. Test them using the Bible. Let us pray that you and this church will eagerly study God’s Word so that we will not fall to Satan’s lies.

As parents, it's our responsibility to advocate for our children. But when the culture censors the church and Christian parents, we are stripped of our parental right to equip our children to know right from wrong. - Do not let your voice be silenced! Do NOT leave your kids vulnerable to the lies of this world. It's considered "normal" for 13-year-olds to own a smartphone and access social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Despite the data that shows a strong correlation between the iPhone release in 2007 and the onset of girls experiencing anxiety and depression due to unhealthy comparison facilitated by social media. Without parental involvement and coaching, this so-called "harmless rite of passage" can leave our children vulnerable to the very culture that finds offense in our Christian values and is actively trying to silence them. The culture tells our children that same-sex relationships and transgenderism are normal and acceptable. Some state medical licensing boards have adopted "affirmative care," which requires doctors to affirm gender self-diagnosis. Testosterone hormone therapy to assist in gender transition ensues. The short-term side effects are pleasant (weight loss, sense of euphoria, and anxiety suppression) and can further affirm the diagnosis. -- However, this treatment path is irreversible, and allowing a child to make this decision at an age when they can not be expected to understand the consequences is heinous! Does this mean that Christians hate transgender people? Absolutely not. We can refuse to condone behavior in love, without shaming or condemning. But we must be allowed to advocate for our children. We can not trust the culture to be the head of our family. Scripture mentioned in this episode: Exodus 20:12 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2020%3A12&version=ESV) “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 1 Thessalonians 5:21 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+thessalonians+5%3A21&version=ESV) "...but test everything; hold fast what is good." 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+10&version=ESV) For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. 4For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. Philippians 4:8 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Philippians%204%3A8&version=ESV) Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Isaiah 55:8 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2055%3A8&version=ESV) For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.

ACTION ITEMS Be very present to your children: As parents, we must be the primary educators of our children in all things, and especially in matters of sexuality. It is from parents and churches that children will hear the good news about God’s design for human sexuality. Teach your children: Sex is for intimate unity within marriage and this union creates children. Marriage is for the protection and benefit of children. Children will understand the true meaning and purpose of sex within marriage, and that marriage is for the protection and benefit of children. Parents must confidently and consistently share these important messages with their children, because their children are not likely to hear them in our culture or in our public schools. You must interfere: Immoral sex ed works best when parents don’t interfere. You must interfere. Help your child organize a club: Choose a focus that will have a positive impact on the school, like a Bible Study club, a Pure Fashion club, a Biology Club, or a Christian Athletes club. Invite a group to review sex ed materials: Invited trusted parents to review your school’s sex ed lessons. Read the actual lessons, watch the videos, and visit the recommended web sites. Do not rely on the summaries provided by the school and do not settle for being handed a packet of home resources to “reinforce” the lesson. Demand to see the actual lessons your children will see. Parents may opt their children out of this material whenever and wherever it may crop up—in lessons, school events, assemblies, classes, or any activities that violate their families’ beliefs. Every school year, file the “Universal Model Opt-Out letter” (template provided by Family Research Council):downloads.frc.org/EF/EF19J21.pdf Resources Read Get Out Now!

Ok, Who Had The Worst Weekend? Today's topics include: Was it the left-leaning media, or the NFL?...; next, Robby Soave (associate editor at Reason.com) joins us to discuss how quick to judement the mainstream media has become. Students from Covington Catholic High School, who were on a field trip to D.C. wearing MAGA hats, were wrongly accused of being a bunch of 'white-privileged racists' towards an elder Native American activist during an Indigenous Peoples March. Soave explains how that couldn't be further from the truth; and finally, Mary Rice Hasson (author of the book, "Get Out Now") discusses her book and the dangerous precedent California is setting for public schools across the nation, due to left-leaning transgender and progressive agendas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
