Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter Breen

It's Thursday, March 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Irish pastor in hot water for preaching outside hospital Authorities in Northern Ireland are prosecuting a retired pastor for preaching outside a general hospital. Seventy-six-year-old pastor, Clive Johnston, held an open-air Sunday service outside the facility last July. While the hospital does perform abortions, he made no reference to abortion, pointing people to Jesus Christ. Officials are charging Johnston with violating the Abortion Services Safe Access Zones Act.  He now faces a criminal record and fines totaling thousands of pounds.  The Christian Institute is representing Johnston. Simon Calvert, Deputy Director of the group, said this. CALVERT:  “Prosecuting someone for preaching John 3:16 near a hospital on a quiet Sunday is an outrageous imposition on free speech and Gospel freedom.” John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Hungary bans events that celebrate sexual perversion Hungary's parliament passed a law Tuesday banning events that celebrate sexually perverted lifestyles. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán pulled no punches. ORBAN: “I advise [homosexual and transgender] pride organizers not to bother with the preparation of this year's parade. It would be a waste of money and time.” Orban wrote on X, “Today, we voted to ban gatherings that violate child protection laws. In Hungary, a child's right to healthy physical, mental, intellectual, and moral development comes first. We won't let woke ideology endanger our kids.” In response, members of a liberal opposition party, known as Momentum, lit colorful smoke flares inside the Hungarian Parliament while Orban was talking. They also rudely displayed manipulated pictures of Orban kissing Vladimir Putin. Plus, homosexual and transgender activists blocked a bridge in central Budapest in protest.  And one homosexual man offered his analysis. PROTESTER: “It's quite terrifying, to be honest, because we had the same in Russia. It was building up step by step. I feel like this is what's going on here. I'm not surprised that Viktor Orban doesn't have any original ideas. He only copying Putin or Trump.” Hungary's new law builds on the previous Child Protection Law which bans the promotion of homosexuality.  Dept. of Defense to cut 60,000 civilian jobs In the United States, the Defense Department plans to cut up to 60,000 civilian jobs.  The department aims to cut 5% to 8% of its civilian workforce which numbers nearly 900,000. Already 21,000 employees have voluntarily resigned.  The department hopes to make many of the cuts by simply not replacing workers who leave on a regular basis.  The cuts are part of President Donald Trump's efforts to slim down the federal workforce.  Trump paused $175 million to UPENN over male in women's sports FOX Business reports the Trump administration paused $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania yesterday. At issue is the university's inclusion of men, pretending to be women, in women's sports, specifically William Thomas, a senior, who now goes by the feminine name Lia, and stole first place from Riley Gaines, a biological woman. The Department of Education is also investigating the Ivy League school following Trump's executive order to keep men out of women's sports. At stake is the university's total federal funding which amounted to around $1 billion last year. Minneapolis ordered to pay $450,000 to pro-life group over violation The city of Minneapolis, Minnesota agreed to pay $450,000 in a pro-life case last week. The city had barred Pro-Life Action Ministries from working near an abortion mill. The ministry sued the city in 2023 and won their case thanks to the help of the Thomas More Society.  Peter Breen, executive vice president of the Christian legal group said, “Politicians seeking to hinder and silence the efforts of pro-life sidewalk counselors should think twice—or it will cost them.” U.S. birth rate up thanks to Hispanic women U.S. births rose slightly last year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. There were just over 3.6 million births last year, up 22,250 births from 2023. The rise in births is due in part to a rise in births among Hispanic women.  The U.S. birthrate has been falling for years, and experts don't expect last year's uptick to change the overall trend.  52% of Protestant churches grew after COVID pandemic Lifeway Research released a new report on worship service attendance for Protestant churches in the U.S. since the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The report found 52% of churches experienced growth in worship attendance. Meanwhile, 33% saw attendance plateau and 15% experienced decline.  Also, around half of Protestant churches had at least 10 people make a new commitment to Jesus Christ as their Savior in the past year. Christian college students wrote Gospel of John on sidewalks And finally, Christian students wrote the entire Gospel of John on campus sidewalks at Western Kentucky University last week. Nearly 70 students from Baptist Campus Ministry and Cru, formerly Campus Crusade for Christ, and Hilltoppers for Christ got together with chalk to complete the task in about two and a half hours. Afterwards, they prayed for students at the university.  Luke Alford, Vice President of Baptist Campus Ministry, told Kentucky Today, “People look for answers in a lot of different things, and I think it's really good to have answers right in front of them.” John 1:1, 4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . . In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Today I am speaking with Peter Breen. One of the founders of Jugglers Art Space – the birthplace of a lot of prolific Brisbane artists. He has had two career pathways: as a radiographer in Melbourne, Queensland and Cambodia and as an ordained minister of religion. He is a self-taught artist and is influenced by his exposure to artists at Jugglers and short courses at Queensland College of Art and Brisbane Institute of Art. Peter is also passionate about social justice which is one of the key values that influenced him and two of his sons – Randal Breen and Harley Breen with his friend Phil Lock to begin Jugglers Art Space Inc in 1998. In this interview we talk about some of the artists who belong to Jugglers Alumni, traits that successful artists have and finding a balance between truly creative work and commercial work.  Mentioned in the episode:Jugglers Art Space: http://www.jugglersartspace.com.au Another project that Peter has worked on that we didn't have time to talk about in the episode but everyone should know about is The Stairwell Project.

It's Thursday, August 1st, A.D. 2024. This is The World View in 5 Minutes written by Jonathan Clark and heard at www.TheWorldView.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. Chinese Christian Reunites with Family A Christian activist from China finally reunited with his family in the US this week. 71-year-old Zhu Yufu had spent sixteen years in prison for defending freedom in China. After his release, he was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer. The US approved his application for urgent medical treatment and to reunite with his family. Yufu issued a statement through ChinaAid: “Thanks to the Lord's grace and the efforts of all of you, I had the chance to be reunited with my family . . . I pray constantly, believing that the Lord's grace is sufficient and that it will not be Satan or the forces of evil that will dominate everything on earth.” In 2 Corinthians 12:9, the Apostle Paul wrote, “[The Lord] said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” Christian U.K. Teacher Banned for “Misgendering” Students Last week, a High Court judge in the U.K. ruled a Christian teacher should be banned from his profession for allegedly “misgendering” students. Joshua Sutcliffe did not use students' preferred pronouns based on his Christian beliefs. His decision did not break the law. However, the judge ruled Sutcliffe's religious beliefs did not justify his actions. Sutcliffe told GB News he plans to appeal and that this is an important case for the U.K SUTCLIFF: "This I believe is a really important case for our nation because obviously I have quite strong Christian convictions, but this is probably a more universal belief that we shouldn't be leading young people down this dangerous path, and that is what the principle argument in the court was." Another Court Blocks Biden Admin's LGBT Agenda Under the Biden administration, the US Department of Education has tried to extend civil rights protections to people living sexually perverted lifestyles. The new rule would protect so-called “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” in schools. Many states have sued the administration over the new rule. In the latest ruling, a US District Judge issued a preliminary injunction against the administration. It applies in Arkansas, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The new rule is now blocked in 21 states. California's Attack on Abortion Pill Reversal Services A pregnancy center is fighting California's attacks on Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) services. California Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta is trying to end APR services and silence pro-life groups. Culture of Life Family Services is now suing Bonta with the help of the Thomas More Society. Peter Breen with the legal group said, “With all of the crime and corruption in California, it is tragic . . . that AG Bonta . . . is using his vast resources to target pregnancy centers and strip women of . . . their right to continue with a pregnancy through the safe and effective Abortion Pill Reversal process.” Americans' Changing Beliefs on Moral Issues Gallup released their latest data on Americans' moral beliefs. Most people in the U.S. still say adultery, suicide, and polygamy are morally wrong. Most Americans now say birth control, in-vitro fertilization, and having a baby outside marriage is morally acceptable. However, Americans are more divided on issues like abortion, doctor-assisted suicide, and “changing one's gender.” Since the early 2000s, support for abortion is up 12 percent, support for divorce is up 19 percent, support for having a baby outside marriage is up 23 percent, and support for sexually perverted lifestyles is up 24 percent. Brazilian Athletes Praise God at the Olympics And finally, Brazilian athletes are winning medals and praising God at the Summer Olympics. 16-year-old Rayssa Leal won bronze in the women's street skateboarding final. Despite Olympic rules against religious demonstrations, she used sign language in front of the cameras to say, “Jesus is the way, the truth and the life,” quoting John 14:6. Meanwhile, Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina beat an Olympic record after riding a perfect 16-foot wave. Knowing his accomplishment, he went airborne at the end of the wave. An iconic photo of the moment shows Medina floating midair with his finger pointed upward. The three-time world champion posted it and quoted Philippians 4:13 which says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Close And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, August 1st, in the year of our Lord 2024.

It's Friday, January 12th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Muslim kidnappers keep pastors hostage despite getting ransom Two Nigerian pastors kidnapped along with others last month remain captive despite their denomination paying the ransom for their release, reports Morning Star News. Rev. Elkanah Ayuba and Rev. Simon Ezra, both of the United Methodist Church, were among at least 20 people kidnapped on December 19th from Yorro County in Taraba State.   On January 4th, Rev. Micah Dopa, president of the Southern Conference of the United Methodist Church, said, “As a Body of Christ, we mobilized and paid $12,264 for our members to be released, but the terrorists decided to release only the Muslim victims in their custody. It is clear that the terrorists' activities are a plot to erase Christians in the area.” Chris Christie dropped out Just days before the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie dropped out of the Republican presidential race on Wednesday at a townhall meeting, reports LifeNews. CHRISTIE: “My goal has never been to be just a voice against the hate and the division and the selfishness of what our party has become under Donald Trump. It's also been to win the nomination and defeat Joe Biden and restore our party and our country to a new place of hope and optimism in this country. “I've always said that there came a point in time in this race where I couldn't see a path to accomplishing that goal that I would get out. And it's clear to me tonight that there isn't a path for me to win the nomination which is why I'm suspending my campaign tonight for President United States.” 10 pro-life rescuers go to trial next week On Friday, March 5, 2021 at 8:30am, some faithful pro-life Christians sought to rescue pre-born babies from certain death at an abortion mill, innocuously named Carafem Health Center, in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. As they peacefully blocked the door to the baby-killing center, they prayed that God would convict the mothers who had scheduled the executions of the babies in their wombs to choose life instead. Because the pro-life rescuers refused to leave, the police arrested them, reported NewsChannel5 in Nashville. To its shame, Biden's Department of Justice indicted these 10 rescuers on October 5, 2022 on charges of violating the misguided Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and a conspiracy to violate the so-called constitutional right to abortion in the pre-Dobbs era.  The trial, which could lead to astronomical fines and up to 11 years in federal prison, begins next Tuesday, January 16th. Coleman Boyd, one of the indicted pro-life rescuers, videotaped part of that March 5th, 2021 rescue. Listen. BOYD:  “I will follow You, Lord and obey you. You show me what you want me to do, and I'll follow You and obey. What I can tell you it doesn't mean is comfortable American Christian living while babies are being murdered, while souls are slipping into hell. That I know it doesn't mean. So, whatever He's calling you to, you've got to seek the Lord. You've got to cry out to God and you've got to have a heart that I'm going to obey. ‘Be imitators of God as dear children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved us.'” (Ephesians 5:1) Later, when Boyd saw a couple outside the Tennessee abortion mill coming towards him, he said this. BOYD: “Good morning, guys. Can I give you some literature? It's the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You know that Christ Jesus came to give life. He came to lay down His life for us. “I'm not sure why you're here at this building today, but if you're here for this abortion clinic, I plead with you today: Turn away from abortion, turn away from death, and turn to Jesus Christ. You know that Jesus laid down His life so that you can have life. Please talk with us.” As The Federalist recently declared, “If peacefully protesting abortion is criminal, but firebombing pregnancy centers is not, there is no rule of law.” Indeed, Peter Breen, an attorney with the Thomas More Society, who is representing Paul Vaughn, one of the ten pro-life rescuers, appeared on Fox News Channel with Tucker Carlson and cited the rich American tradition of civil disobedience dating back to Martin Luther King, Jr. BREEN: “Those who were arrested were leaning on the tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King. He himself was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi. I mean, this is the great tradition of American civil disobedience. And it's not the sort of thing that you turn into a 10-year felony. We believe we have very strong defenses and hope to beat these charges at trial.” Please consider attending a prayer rally on Tuesday January 16th at 7:30a.m. right before their trial begins. The rally will be located at the Federal Court House, 801 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203. In a promotional email for the prayer rally, André De Toit, wrote, “We are living in a time where injustice rules, immorality is being celebrated openly, and truth is being perverted. Meanwhile, the Christian Church has grown cold and apathetic towards what God has called her to be.” Anti-Israel protestors derail San Antonio, Texas City Council meeting Yesterday, a group of about 20 anti-Israel protesters temporarily derailed the San Antonio, Texas City Council meeting just minutes into its first meeting of 2024 as they demanded a cease-fire, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Listen. ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “Ceasefire now. Ceasefire now. Ceasefire now. Ceasefire now. Ceasefire now.” LEADER: “What do we want?” ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “Ceasefire.” LEADER: “When do we want it?” ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “Now!” LEADER: “What do we want?” ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “Ceasefire.” LEADER: “When do we want it?” ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “Now! Free, free Palestine. Free, free Palestine.” Then, their chanting became personal as they accused San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who is Jewish, of genocide. ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “Ron, Ron. You can't hide. We charge you with genocide." LEADER: “Ron, Ron. You can't hide.” ANTI-ISRAEL GROUP: “We charge you with genocide. Hey, hey. Ho, ho. The occupation has got to go. Hey, hey. Ho, ho. The occupation has got to go.” One of the anti-Israel protestors revealed to KENS-5 TV their motivation behind shutting down the City Council meeting. MAZATL CIHUATL: “The main message to the city today is that we are going to make your life highly disruptive, highly inconvenient, until you acquiesce to our demands to sever your relationships with Israel and to immediately call for a permanent ceasefire.” After the meeting, Mayor Nirenberg told reporters, “We all want an end to the violence in the Middle East. We all want a just and lasting peace. The City Council is in no position to advance that.” This week, San Francisco made headlines when it became the largest city in the United States to call for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, following Seattle, Detroit, and Atlanta.  Denver and Minneapolis are considering similar calls. 53% of U.S. pastors want to quit And finally, as American pastors have grown increasingly discontent with their profession, 53% have seriously considered leaving pastoral ministry since 2020, according to a new study from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. In 2021, only 37% of pastors thought about leaving the ministry.  Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, January 12th in the year of our Lord 2024.

It's Wednesday, February 1st, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com)   By Jonathan Clark German parliament refuses to stand against Christian persecution Germany's federal parliament rejected a proposal last week to stand against Christian persecution. The Alternative for Germany party made a motion for the government to recognize February 15 as an “International Day Against the Persecution of Christians.” The date this year marks eight years since the Islamic State published a video of 21 Coptic Christians being decapitated.  The party called on Germany to help “end the worldwide persecution of Christians in the form of persecution, discrimination, and even cultural devaluation” and to show the “significance of Christianity for German and Western culture.”  However, opposition dismissed the motion as hateful and Islamophobic.  Pope Francis denounced criminalization of sodomy Last Tuesday, the Roman Catholic Pope denounced laws that criminalize sodomy during an interview with the Associated Press. Pope Francis said homosexuality is a sin but shouldn't be a crime. He called on Catholic bishops to welcome people living sexually perverted lifestyles, saying God loves all His children just as they are. The remarks came ahead of the Pope's visit to African countries this week, including South Sudan. Countries in Africa and the Middle East commonly criminalize homosexuality.  Referencing Genesis 1, South Sudan's National Minister of Information said, “If [Pope Francis] is coming here and he tells us that marriage of the same sex is legal, we will say, ‘No!' God was not mistaken. He created man and woman and he told them to marry one another and go and fill the world.” 1,800 United Methodist churches left over homosexuality Meanwhile in the U.S., hundreds of churches have spoken on the issue of homosexuality. United Methodist News reports over 1,800 churches left the United Methodist Church last year. Many of them are now joining the theologically conservative Global Methodist Church as an alternative to the liberal denomination. States that saw the largest number of churches leaving the United Methodist Church included Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, and Alabama. Major pro-life victory for sidewalk counselor In a major pro-life victory on Monday, a jury found a Catholic sidewalk counselor not guilty. Last year, the FBI raided the home of Mark Houck, a pro-life father of seven. The Department of Justice charged him with two felonies over an incident outside an abortion mill. Attorneys with the Thomas More Society successfully argued that Houck pushed an abortion “escort” outside the mill to protect his young son from the verbally abusive abortion worker. If he had been convicted, Houck would have faced up to 11 years in prison and a $350,000 fine. Peter Breen with the Thomas More Society said they want to send a message to the Biden administration. BREEN: “Our hope here is that a message was sent to Washington, D.C. to stop this harassment of sidewalk counselors who are just trying to provide alternatives to those who are facing an abortion decision. “I hope this will be one of those points where a change is made, so no one else would have to suffer the same way that Mark and his family has had to suffer.” Biden to end COVID emergency declaration in May On Monday, the Biden administration announced it plans to officially end COVID-19 emergency declarations on May 11.  This comes nearly three years after President Donald Trump imposed pandemic measures that have been extended multiple times under President Biden. However, Republican Congressional leadership is still pushing to end the emergency declarations immediately. Farmer secretly paid other people's prescriptions for years And finally, a small-town farmer, who died recently, is being lauded for his charitable service to his community. Hody Childress lived in Geraldine, Alabama on his small retirement savings. But that didn't stop the farmer and Air Force veteran from helping secretly pay for people's prescriptions for years. About 10 years ago, Childress walked into Geraldine Drugs and asked the owner if there were families in the town who couldn't afford their medications. Owner Brooke Walker said it was something that happened quite often.  So, for a decade, Childress gave Walker a hundred dollar bill every month to help those who were struggling. The farmer said, “Don't tell a soul where the money came from - if they ask, just tell them it's a blessing from the Lord.” When Childress died on New Year's Day at the age of 80, the pharmacy owner finally shared what the kind farmer had been doing for years. Matthew 6:3-4 says, “But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, February 1st, in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com)  By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims killed 70 Christians last week Morning Star News reports Fulani herdsmen killed 70 Christians in central Nigeria last week. Herdsmen also injured 100 Christians in the area recently, displacing thousands. Local officials are calling for people to defend themselves given the national government's inability to curb violence. Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Nigeria, ranked ninth on the Open Doors World Watch list of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.   Britain now urging caution about transgender foolishness for minors Britain's National Health Service is now urging caution in treating children pretending to be the opposite sex, saying it is generally a “transient phase.” New proposals from the NHS “reflect evidence that in most cases gender incongruence does not persist into adolescence.” The new approach comes after Tavistock Centre shut down. It was the only medical facility in the U.K. dedicated to offering puberty blockers and mutilating surgeries for people with gender confusion.  California court supported Christian baker in “gay” marriage case Last Friday, a California court ruled in favor of a Christian baker who refused to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding ceremony in 2017. Cathy Miller owns Tastries bakery in Bakersfield, California and has faced years of litigation for her Christian beliefs about marriage. In a 2017 interview, Miller said she could not violate her conscience or Scripture. MILLER: “Our family are Christians we love everyone God created everyone there's certain things that violate my conscience my conscience will not allow me to participate in things that I feel are wrong. That's based on Scripture.” 1 Peter 3:15-16 says, “Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.” Undercover pro-life activist ordered to pay $2.4 million to murder giant Meanwhile, a U.S. federal appeals court ruled David Daleiden and other pro-life activists must pay $2.4 million in fines to Planned Parenthood for conducting an undercover investigation of the abortion giant. The investigation exposed Planned Parenthood's harvesting and selling of baby body parts. The Thomas Moore Society is representing Daleiden and will appeal the decision. Peter Breen, the vice president of the legal group, said, “This decision provides a roadmap for large corporations to shut down and bankrupt investigative journalists who would expose their wrongdoing.” Proverbs 17:15 says, “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD.” White House bracing to lose both House and Senate Reuters reports the White House is bracing for potentially losing both chambers of Congress in the midterms next month. Voter support for Democrats surged in the summer but is now stalling. Meanwhile recent polls show Republicans are gaining ground in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. In the last couple of months, ABC News and FiveThirtyEight reports that generic-ballot polls are moving toward Republicans. FiveThirtyEight also reports most candidates who think the 2020 presidential election was rigged are favored to win their races.  Students' reading and math scores slump The National Assessment of Educational Progress released their latest report card for U.S. kids this week. Student reading and math scores dropped to lows not seen since the 1990s. The learning setback was evident across every state in the wake of COVID-19 policies that suspended in-person learning.  Only 21% of Americans attend church weekly And finally, a new Rasmussen survey found that most Americans say they are religious but only a minority attend religious services weekly. Sixty-nine percent of U.S. adults consider themselves religious, up from 57% in June 2021. Respondents also report how much they attend religious services: 41% rarely attend or never attend, 21% attend occasionally, 13% attend at least monthly, and 21% attend at least weekly. Forty-two percent of respondents said the U.S. would be better off if more people attended religious services on a regular basis, while 30% said it wouldn't make a difference. The study found that married respondents were much more likely to say they were very religious compared with non-married respondents.     Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, October 26th, in the year of our Lord 2022.

Mark Houck made national headlines after 20 heavily armed federal agents stormed his home at dawn on September 23, 2022, scaring his family, pointing guns at his head, and then arresting him in front of his wife and seven young children.   Houck is alleged to have violated the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, commonly known as the FACE Act, outside of a Pennsylvania abortion facility in October 2021.   In today's episode, Mark interviews Houck's attorney, Peter Breen, vice president and senior counsel at the Thomas More Society.  Peter explains how this invasion is part of a growing trend of intimidation and harassment of law-abiding anti-abortion activists.   Also, Pastor John MacArthur rebuked California's Gov. Gavin Newsom for posting billboards in red states using the words of Jesus to invite people to travel to California for abortions.

Then, Dom welcomes in Patrick Molloy, Police Chief of Abington Township and member of the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission, to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss why the PLEAC has decided to re-vote on their accreditation of the Philadelphia Police Department. Molloy explains that a vote came up back in July after Philadelphia announced the Equality in Driving Act, which they initially argued had tied the hands of police officers in the City of Philadelphia. Molloy tells that after settling some confusion, the organization voted to remove the accreditation of the Philadelphia Police Department. Dom and Pat discuss what this means for the Police department moving forward, with Dom stressing that he hopes this pushes the hand of elected officials in Philadelphia to make the city safer and easier to police. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

“All we can do is pray.” How many times have you heard someone utter these words, often with a somewhat defeatist attitude? Our Spotlight guests this week want you to know that the first thing, the most important thing, Christians can do is pray! Speaking at an online event hosted by the Illinois Prayer Caucus Network in celebration of National Religious Freedom Day, Randy Forbes and Peter Breen stress the preeminent priority of prayer, especially as the practice and proclamation of our faith increasingly comes under fire. They also address the need for strategic thinking, network building, and perseverance in order to stand against President Biden's continuation of the agendas of the Obama administration. Randy Forbes is a former Virginia congressman and President and Co-Founder of the Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation and the National Strategic Center. Peter Breen is a former Illinois state representative and Vice President and Senior Counsel for the Thomas More Society.
