It suggests that in order to be able to justify the purchase of a new Toyota truck, you need to sabotage your own older, but otherwise perfectly good vehicle. Moreover, and reading between the lines, by destroying your older vehicle in an "accident," your insurance company would have to write you a check covering your loss. While one truck company uses themes of patriotism and honesty, Toyota has resorted to appealing to customers who have no problem with dishonesty.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/68e74065-0454-43b5-81c6-1ac5280e95c7/90430c41-197a-445d-9409-c312824e7c0d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/dXjXhgZehAJM14JQwD2Fez62002023-04-24T17:12:03.320ZToyotaDishonestyFraudYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/9qNK6n8PJUWkvsj4AaEqiphttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6bdde3ef-671b-46d5-ba7c-4e72a23b4557.jpgAnti-Al Qaeda Offensive in IraqUS and Iraqi forces work to drive al Qaeda out of Iraq.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/443fc421-d311-4c6d-ac46-25f3d4a38dd1/e678f3f9-a5d9-4106-8d96-05c08ba3847a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/9qNK6n8PJUWkvsj4AaEqip120002023-04-24T17:12:07.128ZwarQaedaIraqYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/mNKnExbBYr9NzxMwm7bFF9https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6a782830-2dd4-42fd-a51d-febe95bad1b0.jpgHuckabee on MarriageFoxNews debate between GOP candidates.

This, despite the fact that California had clearly voted to preserve marriage in 2000 with the passage of Proposition 22 referendum. Simply put, I find it outrageous that four Judges were able to overturn the will of 61 percent of the voters -- essentially 4.6 million California residents. Here we have liberal arrogance on display and at its best. Moreover, a handful of judges should not be able to disregard thousands of years of human history and the evidence of social science that marriage between one man and one woman is best for society, families and children.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2535129e-b40e-454e-b650-1e938f2b1998/f6c2fbf3-ad8a-4e24-a9b0-b10a932a1692-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/5AtXzHGS6ysVrEze2SaiWh113002023-04-24T17:12:19.668ZFamilyIllinoisPoliticsMarriageYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/pw3Dt9RPRnBw6Yq7M3Z1oEhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/77a83160-3ef9-4f6f-a98d-4b6d5b155eff.jpgGay Agenda in IllinoisState Rep. Greg Harris (D-Chicago) is sponsor of a bill to legalize gay marriage, but says he probably won't call it in Springfield because it doesn't have the votes to pass. On the other hand, he said he might call his House Bill 1826, legalizing civil unions, which would grant same-sex couples certain, what he called, limited, rights. "Illinois is not ready for same-sex marriage yet. Certainly the legislature was not when I did my roll call there. But people are willing to talk about extending certain basic concepts [like] fairness," Harris said. Ralph Rivera's one of the leading foes of gay marriage, opposition that he says is based in part on the Bible, especially the books of Genesis, Leviticus and a letter from St. Paul to the Corinthians. "It's a bad idea," Rivera said. "It's something that the legislators in the general assembly do not support; they are very much in the majority being opposed to this." Harris said he would prefer to have the political process legalize gay marriage if it ever comes to that. The gay-oriented Lambda Legal Foundation does not rule out eventually asking Illinois courts to legalize same-sex marriage here. But for now there are no plans to do that.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/be742208-252d-43b9-a094-13ef41b3daca/e6a62d7f-6085-4e72-9a12-d33c987c457c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/pw3Dt9RPRnBw6Yq7M3Z1oE52002023-04-24T17:12:32.713ZPoliticsMarriageIllinoisYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/psNDpevGc7pT9JQ9PfkHVShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f968e07d-09f9-4d68-a25a-6f7fd9d7851c.jpgSpringfield UpdateFox News Chicago interviews State Rep.

Gambling is no economic panacea -- even in Illinois' big cities. It would actually add to the homeless problem, bring increases in crime, suicide, domestic abuse, and alcohol abuse while creating broken families and new addictions. It cannot be overstated -- the social costs of gambling far outweigh the perceived financial benefits.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7733e9ac-332e-4e89-a98a-b2206f8adc89/6d3e89eb-0209-4f04-8a1c-93aba7c6eb9c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/fHJXRZAVZEVi85du1FS4F8578002023-04-24T17:15:06.333ZAddictionssegmentYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uSp2ustVU8a8rwaV11MT8nhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/edb7ac1b-0876-4db9-8a5a-2e7567176257.jpgAddictions -- Teenage DrinkingAddictions -- Teenage Drinkinghttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e9c942d5-9a5d-409b-a365-a37fa6ffde9f/d2fdefc8-5f6e-4858-b0f8-0fcf533e236a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uSp2ustVU8a8rwaV11MT8n336002023-04-24T17:15:48.551ZsegmentAddictionsYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6jNQJVrrfrU5QohYJxrBWdhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f5c08fe9-235f-40b5-887a-e1b8c647d4d7.jpgApril 15, 2010 Tea Party in Joliet, IllinoisIFI's David E. Smith was invited to speak at two tea parties on April 15, 2010 -- one in Joliet and one in downtown Chicago. The tea party movement has encouraged countless Americans to wake up and get engaged in the political process, from voting to holding officials accountable. Plus, with the healthcare "reform" bill and other bills that President Barack Obama and Congress have just passed, Americans are now paying over $670 billion in new taxes, many of which impact the middle-class and break one of the President's primary campaign promises (no increase in taxes for families making under $250,000). One example from the list of 25 new taxes is a brand new annual tax on health insurance, which will cost Americans over $60 billion over the next ten years.

For the third year in a row, the crèche stands in the State Capitol Rotunda Building in Springfield, Illinois. In 2008, the SNSC made history when the Secretary of State's office granted a permit to the group, allowing the Nativity Scene to go on display. The crèche stood in the State Capitol Building, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution which provides for such religious expression in the public square as long as such displays are privately-funded. The SNSC's primary goal is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. A secondary mission of the group is to inform the public regarding the constitutionality of such expressions of faith in the public square.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f3ba132b-2e11-4b18-b8f3-c0466400ad4c/f4e0d815-0110-4f4b-a41c-dcfa5665c417-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/w6AoSmG3uYTnMpFQ43y9JG368002023-04-24T17:18:57.771ZNativity Of JesusChristmasCapitolStateIllinoisYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/aPGtMS3P1SauSR3WmqEKKxhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/03a0681a-7daf-4baf-b47d-b7ff2cd5e2bc.jpgGambling Expansion (SB 1849)State Representative Lou Lang (D-Skokie) successfully pushed his anti-family gambling expansion bill through the Illinois General Assembly in the final days of the legislative session.

Dan has been in the ministry since he was 16 years old. Dan is an avid student of U.S. history and leads frequent tours to historic locations like Washington D.C., Mt. Vernon, Gettysburg (and other Civil War battlefields), Boston, Plymouth, and Lexington – Concord. Dan is on the leadership team of the Oklahoma City Tea Party and is a frequent speaker at tea parties around the state. He is a member of the High Noon Club and serves on the boards of Bott Radio Network, Reclaiming America for Christ, and Vision America. Dan is a published author and has a national speaking ministry. He has been politically active for years and has worked with Oklahoma legislators in endeavoring to pass key pieces of conservative legislation. He has a passion for communicating Scriptural truth to this culture of “political correctness.” Because of America’s increasing “drift” from its origins and Christian roots, Dan has become heavily engaged in working toward returning America to its founding principles. Dan has become so convinced that preachers must play a strong and active role in the political process that he ran for, and was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in November 2012. There he represents Oklahoma’s District 60.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fa6d100b-5eb9-4b5a-bf7e-5c285940ab3a/d9f667b5-365d-4bf5-bdad-d96b2be32545-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/wVzeKsyA1CXaFr3pgZKAQJ3109002023-04-24T18:09:15.611ZPastor Dan FisherPro-LifeChristianityBibleThe Last Christian GenerationYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/1q3KAyMuxAH8hqSMjQJGe3https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e055b0df-9ac1-4516-a98b-8a450de1fa0d.jpgIn Wake of Planned Parenthood Scandal, the Pro-Life Movement goes on the OffenseIn Wake of Planned Parenthood Scandal, the Pro-Life Movement goes on the Offensehttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/035b8bd6-dbfc-4a6a-afd5-28d499b6f5a4/e19f367f-1608-48aa-8384-4069a45fe478-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/1q3KAyMuxAH8hqSMjQJGe3180002023-04-24T18:03:38.321ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/aos41mNAWcmF7zndRhS3Anhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/78d15335-daf3-4d45-b405-2d539d532e0f.jpgWeary of New Legislation, Illinois Pro-Lifers Celebrate AdoptionWeary of New Legislation, Illinois Pro-Lifers Celebrate Adoptionhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/4c04aa77-d5fd-4143-ba61-f52c9a148301/9dbafea3-d216-47ea-8550-75a0503db63e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/aos41mNAWcmF7zndRhS3An165002023-04-24T18:03:57.733ZFamily (Quotation Subject)Adoption (Industry)Illinois (US State)ChicagoYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/893nBW8JseV1kV327CLmwehttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d0fb9c41-8747-4ae9-a34f-f6f0244a7734.jpgPlanned Parenthood's Cecile Richards Met with Protests in ChicagoFresh from her testimony before Congress on Planned Parenthood's scandalous practice of trafficking in aborted baby body parts, pro-lifers gathered to protest the CEO's presence at the Chicago Idea's Week at the Cadillac Theater.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/39cf620e-e04f-47a5-ac1f-b09972a8dac9/c087a9c3-192f-4814-95ef-73b27d4c573f-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/893nBW8JseV1kV327CLmwe153002023-04-24T18:04:15.618ZPolitics (TV Genre)ChicagoIllinoisYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7AkFtVR34B6sw5oLk4gkEEhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1b9cd7ff-8409-40de-a42f-3279a7163f80.jpgBack to the First Amendment: An Interview with Scott LivelyA pro-family activist warns the LGBT Machine isn't satisfied with its same-sex marriage victory courtesy of the Supreme Court.

Are evangelical leaders, by supporting a morally flawed — or even unfit — candidate like Donald Trump, tarnishing the witness of the church? These gut-wrenching questions and accusations are pulling Christians apart in what has arguably been the most divisive presidential election in our lifetime. Given these deep divisions, how can Christians ever unify? What criteria should evangelicals use when choosing a candidate? And, what will be the long-term effects of this election on the Religious Right? Julie Roys explores these questions and more in Divided We Vote: Evangelicals and the 2016 Election, a special television broadcast on Total Living Network. Divided We Vote will also be posted here on www.julieroys.com. Julie is joined Dr. Charmaine Yoest, a senior fellow with American Values, who is voting for Donald Trump and endorsing him; Dr. Erwin Lutzer, pastor emeritus of Moody Church, who refuses to endorse Trump, but says he will vote for him; and Dr. Vincent Bacote, who refuses to vote for either Trump or Clinton. This honest, and sometimes raw, discussion exposes the diverse, but deep convictions driving evangelicals this election season. But it also offers hope, and reveals the spiritual bond between brothers and sisters that transcends political differences.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e30e952c-4b11-4de2-bc56-998f41d4e522/5b0b6142-4c5b-4f2f-b322-533f300af548-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/u3cGPoxZHmfB6j1pEhUj9J3540002023-04-24T18:30:35.318ZReligious RightHillary ClintonPOTUSDonald TrumpElection 2016YESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/wFRrwy8MhLp7TyxKkj9CwUhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/652ae025-e30b-456f-ac89-b3d1b77bf224.jpgElection's Over, Yet Christians' Work Has Just BegunElection's Over, Yet Christians' Work Has Just Begunhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f882a2a8-8dab-4434-bfa0-442f91324790/1dff7f8b-2830-449b-bc6b-21665292757d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/wFRrwy8MhLp7TyxKkj9CwU149002023-04-24T18:20:01.253ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/83T2m4Ufk8Mivoxpwn5YKFhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/a3fe0567-5a3b-47a3-b593-fab8be1ecc0c.jpgIL Legislators Want to Spend Taxes on AbortionsIL Legislators Want to Spend Taxes on Abortionshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3916e6fe-fc49-4a44-9aa1-42f546b7c6b5/846b68c7-073c-476b-ae69-9ed0d4bc8b86-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/83T2m4Ufk8Mivoxpwn5YKF153002023-04-24T18:20:30.005ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/mGtVQp6sopuu74Go745gj6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5c8553f1-303d-432c-8f6c-f390796e99e5.jpgMake Illinois Great Again?

States that have legalized pot are now facing the impact it’s having on both youth and adults, driving impairment and car fatalities, emergency room admissions, poison control center calls, crime and homelessness. There’s a cost to society and families. The scant revenue that marijuana has brought into Colorado is less than .8 percent of their budget. But the negative consequences to families are immeasurable. Maybe you haven’t made up your mind on this issue of recreational marijuana. If so, we urge you to watch this forum, to hear the truth from Jo McGuire, who is well-versed on the issue. Jo McGuire serves on the board of directors for the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry Association and co-chairs the Marijuana Education Committee. She is also a DATIA Certified Professional Collector and Trainer (CPCT) and a Certified Designated Employee Representative Trainer (CDERT) who consults and trains professionals overseeing Safety Sensitive Employees in the compliance of federal DOT guidelines for drug and alcohol screening programs. Jo assists educators with classroom and assembly-style presentations aimed at youth drug prevention and parent awareness and education.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/842059b2-a7a9-44dd-a21d-0aa7dbfdde71/fea8a860-0be3-4dc0-be3d-8e50de3f50d8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hjiraj4oMAYcXHMfpALjNv4720002023-04-24T18:55:58.112ZJo McGuireRecreational MarijuanaYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/p66FiU88JsxxshytTFFCuChttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb47e5a5-b151-4446-818f-da9667f46e7f.jpgEqual Rights Amendment Brings Inequality for the UnbornEqual Rights Amendment Brings Inequality for the Unbornhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/baf86834-f2bd-4ca9-94f3-7bbf9cb7a8b4/f088753b-b294-4257-98a3-3b61380568d3-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/p66FiU88JsxxshytTFFCuC154002023-04-24T18:48:51.917ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hskh9etvnYqNCF2UxZfYgAhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/72477ca8-e34e-49ce-a4cc-a13bd0423f17.jpg#StopERA in Illinois!The “Equal Rights” Amendment is a WAR ON WOMEN Women Deserve equal pay for equal work, which is already protected by federal and state law. The ERA will strip away current legal protections for women by striking down laws that favor one gender over another. How will the ERA Harm Women? Here’s how: Women in Combat — The ERA will force more women into front line combat. Abortion — The ERA will strike down parental notification and consent laws that protect young girls and require taxpayers to pay for more abortions. Age of Consent will be lowered to as low as 12-yrs-old. Prostitution must be legalized as part of “privacy.” Anti-Bigamy Laws will be ruled unconstitutional. Child Support — The ERA eliminates a father’s responsibility to pay child support and alimony. Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Program will end due to the ERA. Social Security Benefits for Widows who have chosen to stay home to raise families will be unable to receive their late husband’s benefits.

Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, said during a news conference outside the Thompson Center. Regarding the bill's provision to allow people to grow and cultivate up to 5 marijuana plants in their home, he wondered how that would be regulated, "What are we going to have, pot police?" Moylan introduced a resolution calling on state legislators to stop rushing through the legalization process, and now has 60 lawmakers signed on in support.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0a99f859-f3f2-4d5a-b354-424049fd558b/b4116460-af4b-4684-bfcd-8ab3a809eaaf-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2iVRpzgbjwySy1DwFduoB6423002023-04-24T19:15:20.541ZIllinoisLegalized MarijuanaMarty MoylanMarijuanaYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/eYEC5fGe2p5UYAf7HcoY5rhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d57a7fe1-6961-4b09-ade8-1f208655a6c2.jpgDrug Money Talks, and Lawmakers are ListeningSome lawmakers are insisting that Illinois can put a pot plan in place that will avoid some of the big problems that today's high potency marijuana is having in states that have made it legal for recreational use.

Darren Bailey Questions Sponsor of SB 25In this video segment, State Representative Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) asks SB 25 sponsor how many of the 39,832 abortions performed in Illinois in 2017 were “medically necessary” to preserve the health or life of pregnant women—which are the reasons emphasized by abortion-shouters to justify the slaughter of humans in the womb. Bailey—who urged a “NO” vote on what he rightly called “this disgusting bill”—noticed something odd in the changes Cassidy made to her Kill-Babies-Bill, something that exposes Cassidy’s anti-science/anti-reality ignorance. He asked her why she replaced the word “woman” with “individual” when referring to those seeking an abortion. Cassidy, obviously in thrall to the science-denying “trans” ideology, defiantly refused to answer Bailey’s easy-peasy questions: Bailey: We’ve changed “woman” to “individual.” Who else can get pregnant besides a woman? Cassidy (answering stiffly): Anyone with a uterus and ovaries can become pregnant. Bailey: So, someone other than a woman can get pregnant?Cassidy: Anyone with a uterus and ovaries can become pregnant. Bailey: Does anyone other than a woman have a uterus? Cassidy: Anyone with a uterus and ovaries can become pregnant. It’s a good thing Cassidy-the-Stepford-lawmaker who robotically repeated the “trans” mantra isn’t also a biology teacher.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0b608bb3-5e27-4f22-b418-15221bce9c15/c6e0d5b1-8127-434a-b59c-11a66dac206e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2pu5d8cruB6Xihzf8NnhjZ356002023-04-24T19:15:51.653ZabortionYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uz7Ma8EhXQJaQEb7kKSsZUhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5f4b16c4-cbb7-4608-a68b-b2192a8bf973.jpgState Rep.

For approximately two hours, the committee heard testimony from proponents and opponents of SB 25 (extreme abortion expansion), and the sponsor fielded questions from members of the committee. Unfortunately, Committee Chairperson Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston), cut questions short. To this point, State Representative Avery Bourne (R-Litchfield), strenuously complained that she had many more questions to ask about the legislation and pointed out that the committee process was the right place to do it. As you will see, her time to ask questions were severely truncated.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6f345fb5-e78e-4ab6-a6d9-2cd616002410/60f54829-576b-4889-8113-d7ae8c642d28-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/eJsvaweXp1462JkJAvoWwL1602002023-04-24T19:18:17.047ZSB 25abortionYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/3E52BnEDkBDDFnGQstKtWbhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/74a41635-c87f-42dd-bb3d-06b1ccdc422c.jpgState Rep. Terri Bryant Speaks in Opposition to Abortion ExpansionState Representative Terri Bryant (R-Murphysboro) stood alongside her Republican colleagues on the floor of the Illinois House to offer a united front in opposing sweeping abortion expansion legislation. In this short video of the committee hearing, Bryant says SB 25 as amended redefines Illinois law to call abortions a ‘fundamental right’, and repeals critical elements of parental notification, while leaving unknowing, unsuspecting parents or guardians on the hook for financial costs related to the abortion of their child. “What this law says is, when a baby is wanted….there is value, and when a baby is not wanted, there is no value to the life,” Bryant said. “I’m talking about basic human rights. SB 25 Amendment 1 changes the definition of viability and allows an unborn child no independent rights. This is a human life that fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God, period. I condemn the passage of this legislation in the strongest terms.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/158305d4-777b-49c1-b25d-3b418d518dba/407194d0-cc7d-4924-a4ce-eca1332dca35-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/3E52BnEDkBDDFnGQstKtWb649002023-04-24T19:16:26.159ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ifZ3zoNgP71Hb6gfAqTZjHhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/715cd8fe-c5cf-4520-804f-f2b7d6514519.jpgWhy Prayer is Key for IllinoisTim Moore from Springfield Right to Life says Christians should be praying not only for the end of abortion, but for individual cases, and employees in the industry.

Doug Wilson is the pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho; theologian; prolific author; and blogger extraordinaire. Derek Buikema is the lead pastor at Orland Park Christian Reformed Church in Orland Park, Illinois who has master’s degrees from Wheaton College, Westminster Seminary, and Calvin Seminary. Their discussion includes the issues of Christian worldview, church discipline, the biblical view of a welcoming church, and the increasing persecution of the church in America. Both pastors are theologically orthodox, wise, winsome, courageous, and whipsmart—a combination of characteristics increasingly rare among Christians—including Christian leaders.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e73ae324-59bf-410e-9217-53f6a894a154/90033fab-480f-4bee-a1df-c11ed191501e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uy6cyhHKSSvVvZfVytSAYu1680002023-04-24T19:22:48.278ZChristian WorldviewAsk DougCanon PressDerek BuikemaDoug WilsonYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uiZ5mFjNXW1AfjK3ptuKfYhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/71bc705e-290c-4ed1-bc04-bd6915e29c03.jpgJohn Stonestreet: The Beautiful Biblical Vision of the Human Person“All men are created equal” and “man is created in the image of God”—these two statements are arguably some of the most important concepts in American history and in Christianity, respectively. But what do they have to do with each other, and more importantly, what do they really mean? John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, addresses these questions and more in his lecture on the Imago Dei, delivered at the 2019 Illinois Family Institute Worldview Conference. Expounding on such themes as “what does it mean to be human?” and “how do we become good people?,” Stonestreet demonstrates how those questions inform our culture today, before answering them in an overview of the grand, sweeping narrative of Scripture and ending in the beautiful hope of our redemption in Jesus Christ. This is the first of Stonestreet’s lectures delivered at the IFI Worldview Conference.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e542b34a-a00a-46db-8f94-3a53692a9ce0/495f99e5-0b72-4b13-857b-4ebdd361297e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uiZ5mFjNXW1AfjK3ptuKfY3502002023-04-24T19:30:12.103ZJohn StonestreetImago DeiBiblical WorldviewChristian WorldviewSanctity of LifeYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/tor7B4UBsJpq6cmkNUNjKEhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/41264c10-2b62-477b-8c44-11587484f64d.jpgStonestreet: The Sexual Revolution: Its Ideas and Its VictimsWhat grounds human dignity? Without the answers that the Christian ideas of inherent dignity and equality provide, the culture turns to sex.

In his second lecture, available here, he speaks on the sexual revolution and how culture has completely sexualized their answer to what it means to be human.

Pritzker signed legislation to approve so-called “recreational” marijuana for persons 21 years old and older. When this law takes effect on January 1, 2020, it will allow the licensed growth, sales, possession and use of marijuana. The Land of Lincoln becomes the 11th state to legalize this dangerous intoxicant for recreational purposes. There is, however, a way to mitigate the consequences of this destructive policy. The bill that was passed by the General Assembly and hastily signed into law by our governor allows villages, cities and counties to opt out of marijuana retail sales. If you do not want marijuana addicts and recreational users driving in and out of your community regularly to purchase drugs, this important option must be considered. ACTION: Ask your local mayor, village trustees, aldermen and county board members to pass an ordinance prohibiting marijuana dispensaries and marijuana businesses in your community. The Village of Morton in central Illinois is the first municipality to pass such an ordinance. Their ordinance can serve as a template for other communities: Click HERE for this sample ordinance: https://illinoisfamily.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Village-of-Morton-Cannabis-Ordinance.pdfhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fc10f924-a4c4-49ca-bc10-dd9a70c3bd32/962aa4fb-ccda-4ce9-a49b-76892c35ac2a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/x8jBkyuQR4Ljk54ervUMT170002023-04-24T19:23:22.747ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/v4L5r8qurcTYnWmH5PtN1ehttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/553444ba-161a-4652-9b8f-9fdca159923d.jpgStonestreet: Have We Lost the Culture? Why Christians Should Continue to CareWhat is culture? For many Christians, “culture” simply means “all the bad stuff that happens in the world,” but according to John Stonestreet, it’s far more than that. The problem is not with culture, for culture is neither good nor bad; the problem is our understanding of it. From a working definition of culture as “what humans make of the world,” Stonestreet addresses the way we ought to participate in culture. After all, he says, one of the things God created us to do is to make culture. By asking the right questions, we can come to a right understanding of culture, and from there, we can rightly see our place in it as Christians, for we were placed in this world in this time and place for a reason, not merely to be saved as a means of escape. God redeemed us so that we might do what we were created to do, Stonestreet says. We were created to live and work in the world and make it what God wants it to be.

In this final session, "Restoring All Things: Joining God's Redemptive Plan," he tells us how we can truly change culture, with the reminder that if you don't go about doing so in an intentional way, you won't do it; or worse, the culture will change you. With questions under the categories of "how is culture shaping you" and "how are you shaping culture," Stonestreet shows us how to reflect on the workings of our own lives as well as begin to work in our own local communities, all under the greater picture of the redemption that our Lord Jesus Christ has bought for us.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9c5c9eee-bc87-4b5c-a9fc-64cc8dcd0303/ac1a1f73-a1ef-4b9e-b09b-95ff523e34c6-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/kiSRKsQHTajVcPs6t5Jrci3076002023-04-24T19:33:25.696ZBiblical WorldviewChristian WorldviewJohn StonestreetYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5Q1DvTEUKTau5a3gXYiqtkhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/9ab467fe-a547-4111-ac02-d74373878974.jpgQ&A Session With John StonestreetIn this Q&A session for his four lectures on culture at the 2019 IFI Worldview Conference, John Stonestreet answers questions on Kanye West, social media bullying, identity politics, and gay wedding cakes, among others. How are we to respond to the cultural darkness of this perverse and foolish generation? We cannot stress enough the importance and primacy of leading our families in Biblical worldview training. These Stonestreet worldview video sessions are just some of the great resources we provide to help equip you and your family to navigate life in an increasingly pagan culture. Equipping ourselves, our children and grandchildren becomes increasing important with each passing day.

It is an important pro-life effort to save lives and share truth. By partnering with 40 Days for Life we can live out Ephesians 6:13-18: “your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace…. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.” Through prayer and fasting, peaceful vigils and community outreach, 40 Days for Life campaigns have inspired 1,000,000 volunteers! The fall campaign runs from September 25th to November 3rd. Learn more at https://www.40daysforlife.com/about-overview.aspx. With God’s help, here are the proven results in 24 coordinated campaigns: -16,004 babies saved from abortion -190 abortion workers converted -100 abortion centers closed Committing to one (or more) hours a week to be a witness for the sanctify of life is not difficult.

Through elementary school and high school, where he was a successful student and athlete with a beautiful girlfriend, he hid his secret identity as a woman, and continued to do so through college and prestigious careers at both NASA and Honda, until he went through destructive therapy sessions and became an alcoholic, losing his job and nearly all of his respect. But then something changed--while sitting with a friend who was praying for him, he saw Christ, who promised Walt that "you are now safe with Me forever."  Walt's story is a story of brokenness and redemption through Christ Jesus, and a witness to the hope we can find through God alone.  Walt Heyer shares his story at the 2019 Worldview Conference.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9e3f2723-7a7b-4ccf-a59d-a9faa3fc5278/f5ab768d-6e75-4a88-be17-09988c528d23-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/kxnQVd2iaSBEwzWvyYteXW1972002023-04-24T19:36:36.004ZWalt HeyerYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/51GGJrDBRiyNcR7Wwmdzpzhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5ff6328d-ccc4-42ba-89f9-db3279270569.jpgBrigitte Gabriel: "I'm A 9/11 Conservative""9/11 made me realize that preserving our national identity... is the most important thing of all." -Brigitte Gabriel Visit her website at: https://www.actforamerica.org/https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/207da368-0882-4da0-9e86-24d936cdc65b/08178499-c4f9-415f-ab10-8e1a0f8ab719-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/51GGJrDBRiyNcR7Wwmdzpz163002023-04-24T19:38:22.173ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/jKZP35TuxpHhydAdwCDHUQhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/041bd868-3f59-4b7d-9e45-dc1202a3bec7.jpgMobilizing Christians for 40 Days Prayer VigilsPastor Jim Nicodem of Christ Community Church in St. Charles tells church leaders his experience of getting church members involved in the 40 Days for Life campaign.

She also details the wide-ranging, disastrous consequences that will result if conservatives and Christians remain passive in the face of the erroneous transgender ideology that is embraced and promoted in many pediatricians’ offices, our children’s classrooms, and in the media – especially media targeted to children and youth under the age of 18. Dr. Cretella is the executive director of the American College of Pediatricians (a pro-life and pro-family alternative to the radical, left-wing American Academy of Pediatrics), a board-certified general pediatrician specializing in adolescents and sexual health, and a staunch pro-life advocate. Please watch this important message regarding the “trans” ideology steamroller that is obliterating scientific fact and common sense in our nation and the world.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5c6b0809-63a5-41c3-8480-e8fc111faee6/9cd76334-6cec-495b-b476-054b9f85bfc5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/cpUzfs99z6af8XjiHB2erQ2448002023-04-24T19:43:49.525Zgender dysphoriaDr. Michelle CretellaYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/66DZ4JkZAWurdFNHxmBp5Hhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/67cedc7d-9af9-413c-8d6a-b8923ee0f207.jpgDenise Shick - Her Story; The Impact of FamilyIt is important to be informed regarding the facts and staggering statistics of transgenderism, but it is also important to hear the real-life stories of spouses, parents, daughters, sons, and siblings who have been personally affected by transgenderism in their family. Denise Shick powerfully shared her story at the 2019 Illinois Family Institute Worldview Conference on “Trans” Ideology. When Denise was only nine years old, her father came out to her as transgender. She explains how this revelation deeply impacted her own sexual identity, her mental, physical, and emotional health through the years, as well as her family relationships. Denise’s story is one of confusion and loss, but ultimately it is a story of redemption, healing, and the ability to forgive that comes only through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Denise Shick is an author, conference speaker, and the founder and director of Help 4 Families, a Christian ministry dedicated to helping families and their loved ones affected by transgenderism. Please watch this compelling story regarding the “trans” ideology steamroller that is dividing families and fracturing relationships in homes throughout the state and nation.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2947d20e-e85d-423f-885b-bb5371152ca5/043daf76-cbeb-489b-8c76-32f4216c274f-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/66DZ4JkZAWurdFNHxmBp5H2152002023-04-24T19:56:50.303ZHelp 4 Familiesgender dysphoriatransgenderismDenise ShickYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/53fS3vkvHCovkvtrcReqUbhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/527ccaab-b3b8-4df5-9c05-dcb36d439b45.jpgPastor Doug Wilson - Sanity as InsurrectionSanity as Insurrection was the title of the final session of the 2019 Illinois Family Institute Worldview Conference on “Trans” Ideology. In this presentation, Pastor Doug Wilson stressed the importance in asking sane questions, ones that strike at the heart of the matter, when we engage in debate with our adversaries because “… deliberate and premeditated sanity is a challenge to the powers that be.” Pastor Wilson also detailed seven theological/intellectual life hacks – non-negotiables regarding orthodox theology, faith, and truth – that will illuminate what’s going on in the world around us. We cannot recommend this session high enough to you. Please, watch with your friends and church leaders—or better yet, invite them over to watch and discuss it together. You will be edified, enlightened, emboldened, and inspired.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/20b533a3-8eb0-48be-94df-86660be70fea/a438fd94-9932-4405-bbc0-e60e047033d0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/53fS3vkvHCovkvtrcReqUb3039002023-04-24T19:46:02.615ZPastor DougDoug WilsonYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/78jnymT6mVG8AkKrGHoQNEhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/34dc3044-0338-44e7-93d2-0056c0af630c.jpgProfessor Anthony Esolen's Keynote Remarks at the 2015 IFI Annual BanquetProfessor Anthony Esolen is one of America’s cultural treasures.

During this final session, speakers Dr. Michelle Cretella, Denise Shick, Walt Heyer, and Pastor Doug Wilson field questions from conference attendees. Higgins begins by addressing the endgame of LGBTQ activists regarding transgenderism, the effect of the transgender agenda on privacy and culture, and the smoke and mirror tactics of the American Academy of Pediatrics in regard to transgender protocols. Topics and questions covered by our speakers include gender confusion and regret; transitioning/detransitioning; calls to lower the age of consent; Planned Parenthood’s evolving business model; an effective Christian approach to government schools; the biology of sex determination; and loving, biblical responses to transgender family members and friends.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3291043b-63e6-431a-8280-c407942ac8c3/b5029f91-f1f5-4398-8b7e-2da5848cf564-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7fand56AZtThKri2LanzZv3629002023-04-24T19:53:08.161ZDr. Michelle Cretellasex determinationhormone blockersdetransitioningtransitioningYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nXhuirGkZRpWxfQqHQ6pzPhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/eb0d1837-1047-4551-aba0-f89fbed33e81.jpgInspire The Next GenerationInvest in the next generation of leaders, participate in Operation Christmas Child!

Christians falsely believe that the Bible teaches that Christians should always and in every context speak “nicely,” and by “nicely” they mean in ways that listeners don’t find objectionable. Too many Christians falsely believe that they are prohibited from being angry; or from using sarcasm, satire, or other strong language; or that they are prohibited from saying anything that offends people. By adopting this unbiblical notion, Christians are voluntarily relinquishing one of our most powerful persuasive tools: rhetoric. We have relinquished the very tool that enables us to expose the unfruitful deeds of darkness that so poison the American cultural landscape, robbing children of their innocence, modesty, and rights. Thankfully, we have Pastor Douglas Wilson to offer the church a much-needed corrective. Through his bold, incisive, piquant, and often hilarious truth-telling, he not only exposes the folly and wickedness of the sexual revolution, but also teaches us how we may and should do likewise.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7aa591cf-ac6f-4697-9eb7-5a80764e42e0/83e7e551-fbe9-4c84-bb08-0fb593a6f915-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/g9pAnQ2mGngsLqax7SWZb91795002023-04-24T20:02:14.703ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/w5Skqrp96ZSQLtS5K8E4odhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d7eee17c-23df-43aa-8fcc-a70a9d658ce4.jpgLegal Pot?

Five years later, Metaxas’ message of hope and encouragement is as timely – and needed – as ever, and his questions: “Are you giving God everything you have?” and “Are you longing for heaven?” are still deserving of our thoughtful contemplation. If you were privileged to hear Eric Metaxas speak in 2014, you will enjoy revisiting this heartfelt and humorous address. If you haven’t heard his presentation, you will definitely want to view the video and share it with family and friends!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/41d43d28-9209-4fdb-90f1-5a314273435f/fe24e289-39e1-4ef4-9123-ebd66d626b0d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/98tsHDsQUnUNdJpw4wBgQK3233002023-04-24T20:10:15.625ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uRJGMRCSR9rWmhZdtCyVdfhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/38b9ec3c-cfa3-4f9c-bee6-24fd990dada9.jpgFranklin Graham on Never Trumpers--cough cough, Christianity TodayThis clip is part of a larger IFI interview by Monte Larrick with Franklin Graham during our 2019 "Bold As A Lion" Fall Banquet.

Rod describes what the Benedict Option is and, equally important, what it isn’t. In such a time as this of radical and comprehensive moral, theological, and ideological chaos, Rod’s radical vision is both compelling and inspiring.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9e01c9d9-08e4-47e9-85e5-d9509ed9eccc/010d0e11-675a-4e07-9358-073d5d8d33c9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/kvEgDzVHDwgcDFv386LJfG460002023-04-24T20:01:55.685ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ppNXVbt492HZj68cUzdLS2https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/94aa6fc9-451b-4726-82b7-14de5207d1fe.jpgRod Dreher: Isn't the Benedict Option a Retreat?In Part 3 of Pastor Derek Buikema’s compelling interview with author Rod Dreher, they discuss the difference between a cowardly retreat from culture and a “strategic retreat” intended to strengthen the faithful for the persecution that is coming to an increasingly anti-Christian world, including America. Rod argues that Americans, who are “creatures of comfort, peace, and ease,” are not prepared for the suffering Christ has promised his followers will come.

He further warns that the growth of “LGBT rights can only come at the expense of religious liberty.” Rod makes clear that enabling “the church to have the freedom to be the church is going to require us to engage in politics.” He emphasizes that as the “country is de-Christianized, we have to be prepared to fight for religious liberty.” Please take five minutes to watch this important video and share with others directly and via social media.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9a85aa8a-e415-4903-9249-52f071b2aec5/f30a18f3-efe9-477f-b960-e19acde7a7b4-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/k5GEburMxxseXcBMArBXo6305002023-04-24T20:02:46.180ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/8rSmSYwFqtYxWQySCWoFb3https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c637a2d8-56ad-4777-afbd-724ee461363c.jpgBeing a Voice for the UnbornWhile pro-lifers received more than their share of defeats in 2019, baby advocates are more motivated than ever to change the state of Illinois for life.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3c4c99ad-f58a-4c08-a542-44871eae4e92/44df7650-dc3e-4dea-93fd-d6ba15bd95d0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8rSmSYwFqtYxWQySCWoFb3142002023-04-24T20:03:05.108ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/iEQaVUTBNjRvKPkXCEEotDhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1d5b52aa-994d-476e-90ef-3110e8951fa4.jpgRod Dreher: How Should We Create Communities?In Part V of Pastor Derek Buikema’s interview with Benedict Option author Rod Dreher, Pastor Derek asks what communities that seek to cultivate a deep and abiding faith within our increasingly anti-Christian culture will or should look like.

Rod’s edifying, inspiring, and convicting response encompasses far more than suggestions for Christian colleges. He offers a vision of the narrow gate and hard path that is now set before Christians in America, and what this will require of us if we seek to remain connected to God.

For Medved, economic recovery is possible when the nation returns to three things: family, morality and confidence. Without these, we lose our moral center and our ability to move forward, but all three of these values can be restored with faith in God and in the value and possibility inherent in every human being.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c40ec9f3-76b6-4c91-b64f-96cd62097559/a4f1882e-e789-4d89-9e45-df08d0930325-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/qdbB7sWZ17WVVMjaFAWTec2889002023-04-24T20:07:36.375ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5Vb6xeXfzKGupngWRmqoUyhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6698d228-fdf2-4d10-9900-9081d0fb7bfa.jpgThe 2020 Pro-Life Billboard BlitzIFI recently helped sponsor pro-life billboards around Chicago to spread a simple pro-life truth.

Rod begins by stating that one purpose of a Christian is to transform the world with the truth of the gospel – but how can that be accomplished when so many people don’t know what the faith teaches and lack spiritual discipline? Pastor Derek and Rod engage in an in-depth discussion of the Benedict Option, detailing what it is and what it is not. Rod promotes the need for a “strategic” (not cowardly) retreat from anti-Christian culture in order to prepare and be strengthened to endure the persecution we know we will face. The conversation continues with encouragement for Christians and the Church to be politically engaged and willing to fight for religious liberty, and Rod and Pastor Derek examine the value of distinctly Christian communities and institutions, especially institutions of higher learning. Rod concludes the interview with a personal example concerning the appropriate expression of righteous anger.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ea25e667-7e38-42d6-bffd-2ef09ecfa8ca/5356262e-27e6-401b-83e0-0ec5dc82c8f9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uUZm99aa3tC59RFHBqu3FL2647002023-04-24T20:10:16.403ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6fnqyoNyywqJEZLKFET6nchttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7928b88b-2341-44b4-a06a-4b9d27a4e1e1.jpgIllinois is trying to keep up with California and ColoradoLegal marijuana in Illinois seems to have faded into normality, but Illinois lawmakers are pushing for harder stuff, just like we warned.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2a7f4f09-2274-4317-beb4-8978785e2ff9/354ecaf9-091e-424a-8d57-84e8ed96e9cf-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6fnqyoNyywqJEZLKFET6nc130002023-04-24T20:05:42.761ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hbDCHXJaL8Z2e82LFRKMGjhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7386e5ea-a940-4cda-9caa-d5e475feccc3.jpgDr. Allan Carlson: What Can America Learn From Other Christian Politics?Dr. Allan Carlson: What Can America Learn From Other Christian Politics?https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/830ed938-a633-40bf-836e-06355c633b1e/277f5549-65ff-43bd-880c-8718821889c9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hbDCHXJaL8Z2e82LFRKMGj325002023-04-24T20:06:24.061ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7NnVkfH8cnMJSjUH82YGeyhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/dc477ec6-20e7-43dc-8d7d-f04c86c4d81b.jpgDr. Allan Carlson: What is a Politics of The Family?The third excerpt from Pastor Derek Buikema’s interview with Dr. Allan Carlson is a fascinating discussion of how public policies can be family-friendly--that is, can support and encourage the creation of natural marriage and childbearing—or family-unfriendly. Dr. Carlson discusses how, despite the many, huge, and important benefits of capitalist market economies, there are ways that such economies negatively affect natural marriage and childbearing. By exploring policies implemented in Hungary and Poland to encourage the formation of natural and larger families, Dr. Carlson illuminates some of the ways such deleterious effects can be blunted here in the United States.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/37108dc3-57d7-463e-bed5-4b7f81593622/b96252dc-fada-4cda-bf5f-477884b63056-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7NnVkfH8cnMJSjUH82YGey801002023-04-24T20:12:29.622ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rqPBMrBTBueowvoVNgUpZfhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/77da0c1a-267a-4f79-8411-816c7175d099.jpgIs COVID-19 the Beginning of the End, or a Wake-Up Call for the World?Pastor Myles Holmes, an IFI board member, gives Christians an exhortation about COVID-19. #Motivationhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/cdeba976-fc42-428f-a28d-a6253ec9ed44/893f75d8-0317-477b-98c5-22a6e1a10802-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/rqPBMrBTBueowvoVNgUpZf226002023-04-24T20:10:47.708ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/9zD7hrzhyyTjtNQLJ2h5Mshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/be26489e-bc91-4caa-ac5e-3c1bb4189c65.jpgA Conversation With Dr. Allan CarlsonIn his interview with Derek Buikema of Orland Park Christian Reformed Church, Allan Carlson discusses the current political climate as it relates to American Christianity and the family. Certain policies, for example, though promoted by the Republican party, are detrimental to the family. If replaced or improved, Carlson argues, conservatives could restore the focus on marriage, children, and the family in our country as well as improve the economy. Using examples from Hungary and other countries, Carlson delivers his opinions on reshaping conservative politics to more truly reflect Christianity, as well as his ideas on why Christians ought to be involved in politics at all at this time.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/457b85c3-7e9b-447b-8c31-2a6a0557b1ac/c3ecec68-f1f2-4f4a-9b6e-7dfb8793423c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/9zD7hrzhyyTjtNQLJ2h5Ms1661002023-04-24T20:20:01.790ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/2G1bUaEdRDN38MN6kEaEbjhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d5ebd367-def3-446d-b3d8-2116d6e873db.jpgDr. Allan Carlson: What Policies Should Christians Advocate For?Dr. Allan Carlson: What Policies Should Christians Advocate For?https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0daf0159-67bf-4f38-8704-2d8ecdded996/4d32b228-f3a8-4d1f-9ded-e21fdca25eb3-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2G1bUaEdRDN38MN6kEaEbj253002023-04-24T20:10:45.497ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ibD2mAvsoY5muPwu5pK7QHhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/02c3fe1d-34ab-4e85-ac53-e73ccb0994bd.jpgDr. Lutzer: A Christian Response to Islam in AmericaIslam is on the rise around the world, whether it be terrorist activity in the Middle East or the increasing number of followers here in United States.

Without a doubt, this is one of the most pressing issues facing the church and the nation today. “Remember that the real threat to the United States is not so much terrorism, but Islamism, which intends to challenge our constitutional liberties and take advantage of political correctness to silence discussion and debate about Islam and to undermine our national security…” ~Dr. Erwin Lutzerhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8b279c83-4982-4f05-a29d-e09a4f038289/326ea18b-c9cd-4cd8-a3cd-b417dc72b416-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ibD2mAvsoY5muPwu5pK7QH3160002023-04-24T20:15:55.852ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/qeF6A4s2RtnuumAagCosCShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/a7eae3c4-98dd-4b0c-b822-89e376831f63.jpgMichele Bachmann: The Cost of LibertyIn this lecture delivered at Illinois Family Institute's Annual Banquet in 2016, Michele Bachmann, a politician who has served both in the Minnesota Senate and the United States House of Representatives, speaks on Christians' responsibility to defend truth in our country. Using the example of the Pilgrims, who came to found a new community on Christian principles, she argues for the good that Christians can do in a society to preserve its culture and uphold truth. The spirit of the United States did not originate with the U.S. Constitution or with the Declaration of Independence, she argues; rather, it comes directly from God, who upholds man. With the spirit of the Pilgrims' Christian community, we can preserve this country, and this speech may well inspire more Christians to do so.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c444173f-fd5a-4009-a6bf-67542ff40952/f35c2ec5-f1ec-4144-875f-00bee3896d36-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/qeF6A4s2RtnuumAagCosCS3210002023-04-24T20:19:38.341ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/eVfx1zXfSDFxKk7VpvoFNZhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bdbf0bca-0430-4b09-846a-3b1ddce51584.jpgDr. Robert A.J. Gagnon: Is LGBTQ Pressure Beginning to Crack the Evangelical House?One of our responsibilities as Christians is to help foster an environment in which truth prevails and families flourish. Just before our home-sheltering began, Illinois Family Institute hosted our annual Worldview Conference this year titled “Thinking Biblically About Our Corrosive Culture,” with speakers Dr. Michael Brown, theologian, author, and radio host; and Dr. Robert A. J. Gagnon, theologian, author, and professor at Houston Baptist University. In his first presentation, Dr. Gagnon exposed the myriad ways that the “LGBTQ” heresy is making inroads into the church, including in evangelical churches that many assume are impenetrable by heretics. He begins by briefly outlining how mainline churches were infected by sexuality heresy and then provides evidence that the beginnings of a similar trajectory are present in evangelical churches. He examines the troubling rhetoric of Preston Sprinkle, president of the theologically conservative Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender, of J. D. Greear, president of the culturally influential Southern Baptist Convention, and of Revoice and the “spiritual friendship” movements, both of which are movements led by and appealing to Christians who experience homoerotic attraction but affirm biblical sexual ethics. Dr. Gagnon concludes by urging Christians to prioritize political issues rightly when voting and clarifies the monumental stakes for Christians should “progressives” take control of the U.S. Senate and White House and pass their chief legislative project: the culture-transforming, rights-nullifying, pernicious Equality Act.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/70b62e00-2fc1-42b4-827d-db2d08f9d601/01a73373-1146-4319-a142-66614812c2a0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/eVfx1zXfSDFxKk7VpvoFNZ3055002023-04-24T20:15:42.552ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/a1BNnVbL8zTZriRLV96furhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b65e69d-55ed-4809-a6b0-edaa52d2192f.jpg"We Will Have to Give an Account to GOD for Wicked Apathy"The Reverend Ceasar LeFlore says Christians don't have the option of silence in the face of evil as he accepts Henry Life Life Leadership Award at the 2020 SpeakOut Illinois pro-life action conference.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/48f84f6b-cea4-41b5-9741-c70c98c2e051/f2ebbc00-edd4-4c03-bf70-c66f8096158a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/a1BNnVbL8zTZriRLV96fur1492002023-04-24T20:21:54.442ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nD1Zt8rP9AAmAn5pWVHHyghttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d130a98b-5278-498c-8390-8facb9a1e2ed.jpgDr. Erwin W. Lutzer: When the State Becomes GodToday, as our world is gripped by uncertainty and fear, we could all benefit from some encouragement, hope, and laughter. The Rev. Dr. Erwin Lutzer masterfully delivers on all three counts. In his presentation “When the State Becomes God,” Pastor Lutzer asks a crucial question – “Who plays the role of God in your life?” Drawing from the Book of Daniel, he encourages us to be prepared, to stand firm in our faith, and to refuse to bow. To conclude his address, Pastor Lutzer fields audience questions on a variety of topics including civil disobedience, immigration, religious freedom, persecution, “tolerance,” and more. Dr. Erwin Lutzer is pastor emeritus of The Moody Church in Chicago and a prolific author. His legacy book, The Church in Babylon, is a must-read, filled with biblical insight and wisdom that shines God’s light on our ever-darkening culture.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/af3b0abe-4a49-42ac-b60d-29326497594b/7bcae6a2-d7d2-4d42-afc1-bf21c4a8a286-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/nD1Zt8rP9AAmAn5pWVHHyg4340012023-04-24T20:23:01.381ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7RtQNhYR3A3h6TrbQXpL23https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c9e73f3e-70ee-4344-b6eb-76966988552d.jpgIs Homeschooling Right for You and Your Family?In a corona virus world of no school, we bring back a conversation with the executive director of the Illinois Christian Home Educators to talk about the benefits of educating your kids at home, especially from a biblical perspective, and free resources and networks to help you while you educate at home during the shutdown and possibly beyond.

Brown, professor, author, radio host, and apologist. Dr. Brown’s presentation, The Culture of Death: Abortion, Contraception, Euthanasia, Pornography, and Childlessness, cites the actions and characteristics of the Jezebels of the Old and New Testaments to draw a parallel with America’s depraved culture – a culture that proclaims as freedom that which is truly enslavement to sin and the devil. Referencing Ephesians 6, Dr. Brown encourages Christians to prepare for spiritual battle, equipped by the strength of the Lord, in order to overcome the weaponized spirit of fear wielded by Satan and our increasingly pagan culture. Please watch this timely video and share it with family and friends. While our nation is confronting the global pandemic of COVID-19, another threat, a demonic pandemic, is ravaging America spiritually, morally, and culturally.

Dr. Grudem shared that “Wealth and poverty are primarily determined by policies and factors that affect whole nations.” In order to reduce poverty and increase prosperity, gross national product and per capita income must be raised. The question is how to achieve those goals. Dr. Grudem critiqued the commonly recommended solutions for eliminating poverty, including foreign aid, debt forgiveness, discovering natural resources, transferring goods from one person to another, printing money, attributing poverty to outside factors, and purchasing Fair Trade products. Dr. Grudem also looks to the Bible for guidance on how countries can reduce levels of poverty, and how Christians should respond to urgent needs in impoverished countries.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b0581f86-d81a-492e-a817-0b88dc7c5a63/d1e6d39e-a4d9-4c97-9c94-6a5af00fb0b6-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/nLZzFHzBmkBsaisySqfXcZ2842002023-04-24T20:30:13.504ZPovertyCapitalismFaithWorldviewChristianYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7Uq5ewp9Li7bZgiGmFuU4Zhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/62a7d996-6eef-4122-a0d9-5725a7d13f51.jpgPastor Richard Giovannetti's ChallengeIn this short challenge, Pastor Richard Giovannetti addresses Christian citizens, and pastors in particular, to stay alert to the politics of the pandemic and be deliberate in choosing where they are going to stand, how they are going to walk as Christians, and how they are going to address current issues. The church is the source of holding the nation accountable, he says; therefore, the church cannot ignore the role it plays in upholding religious liberty in the nation. The way for pastors and citizens to do this, then, is both to pray and to storm lawmakers with petitions to stay true to the constitution and not form a precedent for diminished liberties in the future before the nation loses its course even more than it already has. We have the right to express our views, and we ought to use that liberty to protect our freedoms.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/37e857ef-e989-4a7a-a581-ae1fb192e407/6fb4c499-3ff1-422d-ac97-9f38d699727c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7Uq5ewp9Li7bZgiGmFuU4Z1189002023-04-24T20:25:48.615ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/mdpNqDqaAyPHN1YWb1CYZ1https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/200ba855-f2c6-42de-9189-1908f5a923e2.jpgGovernor Pritzker is Not Looking at Church Reopening from A Spiritual PerspectiveChurches are challenging Governor Pritzker's very limited reopening criteria for churches.

In Illinois, these riots were not limited to downtown Chicago, but was spilling over into various City neighborhoods and suburbs like Arlington Heights, Richton Park, Calumet City, Tinley Park, Riverside, Orland Park, Blue Isalnd and Lansing. In Dolton rioters thought it was a good idea to throw a brick through the window of Christ Oasis church. Other large municipalities also saw similar violence, including Aurora, Rockford, Waukegan, Champaign, Joliet, Springfield and Peoria, Peaceful protests, which there were a few, were greatly overshadowed by wall-to-wall news coverage of extreme violence, vandalism, looting and arson locally and in cities across the nation. In Washington D.C., "the church of the presidents" was set on fire by godless insurgents. The damage to St. John's Church (est. 1816) could be seen symbolically of how our culture has turned its back on God. Furthermore, it isn't a stretch to suggest that God has lifted His hand of protection in response to our rebellion and indifference to His precepts. While many of us were thinking about the coordination of these attacks, I was somewhat surprised to hear Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot and Police Superintendent David Brown confirm these suspicions.

GagnonDo you remember the popular advertising slogan, “When E. F. Hutton talks, people listen”? While good financial advice can boost your net worth, solid theology, biblical scholarship, and consistent application of the Word of God are infinitely more profitable. With that in mind, you will definitely want to listen closely as you view this timely and informative conversation featuring Dr. Robert Gagnon and Pastor Derek Buikema. Beginning “in the beginning,” Dr. Gagnon presents an overview of what the Bible says about marriage by explaining the importance of the specific words that are used in the account of God’s creation of man and woman in Genesis 1 and 2. Dr. Gagnon also discusses complimentary otherness, human sexual ethics, and Jesus’ authoritative voice on the topic of divorce and remarriage. As the conversation continues, Dr. Gagnon and Pastor Buikema address the scriptural prohibition against homosexuality, impurity offenses, the danger of compromise, tolerance, and acceptance within the church concerning matters of morality, and the proper motivation for discipline. If you hesitate or struggle to confidently articulate or promote a biblical worldview regarding homosexuality, same-sex “marriage,” polyamory, and other perversions, we encourage you to watch this video – and share it with friends and family.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6acccad3-9315-472a-9c7f-6980654bde79/14caf661-07be-4423-a784-fa2be9b9380e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ebUPBnsGfMf174fgtnfLjn4871002023-04-24T21:02:56.192ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/8T94t874z45jSHksY1jy2Thttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/857cf79b-b8e8-4911-8784-1309e925ca4c.jpgPray for the 2020 Elections | Pastor Myles HolmesEvery pastor and church leader should make the upcoming elections a matter of public prayer in their congregation. In addition to that, I want to encourage church leaders to sound the clarion call to their flock regarding their responsibility to be good Christian citizens. It is critical that church leaders take a moment or two every week to pray about these things and remind faithful attendees about the importance of the upcoming elections and their duty is to vote Biblically. The choice is not just between various candidates, but often between polar opposite worldviews. Life and death.

In his presentation, The Moral Advantages of a Free-Market System, Dr. Grudem defines a free-market system, lists the factors that determine the degree of freedom, details sixteen moral advantages of a free-market system, and addresses the flawed objections to free-market economics. The video concludes with a brief Q&A session. Note: According to the 2020 Index of Economic Freedom, the United States’ economic freedom score ranks 17th in the world, a decline from the rank of 11th Dr. Grudem references in this presentation.

Franklin Graham to discuss what Americans can do to promote and protect faith, family, and freedom in our state and nation. Rev. Graham offers his position regarding the Church’s participation in the political process and its responsibility to confront today’s culture. Additionally, he addresses the importance of prayer, education, and adherence to biblical values for Christian voters, especially in light of the Equality Act; the changing face and focus of public education; ongoing attacks on the sanctity of life and religious freedoms; and the growing clash between socialism and liberty. With a New Year on the horizon, this video is one you will definitely want to watch and share with family and friends. Rev.

According to the video clip below of Governor Mike Huckabee (from our 2008 banquet), your support of IFI's work and ministry in the public square is vitally important. "...we are at the point of darkness in our culture when every little bit of light makes a difference. We are at a point in our culture in which every bit of salt on that which is spoiling truly can make a difference. And whether it is a gift of $100 or $500 or whether it is $25 a month pledged over a long period of time it makes a huge difference." ... "The reason the Illinois Family Institute is important and has great significance is because it's doing something most of you wouldn't want to do first of all, and secondly, you wouldn't have time to do. ... "We need the Illinois Family Institute protecting the lives of unborn children, protecting the important institutions like marriage, because if there is no salt, things will get worse. If there is no light, things will get darker. But if there is some salt, and there is some light, there will be a huge difference.

The authors of this legislation are not law enforcement professionals with hundreds of years of combined experience and this bill was drafted without law enforcement input, and because of that the long-term unintended consequences of this legislation would be dire. The Illinois Law Enforcement Coalition recently enumerated its Safe Communities plan, a sensible approach to modernizing Illinois law enforcement, but House Bill 163 as amended would lead to unsafe communities in Illinois. We urge the Illinois General Assembly to avoid making a sudden, rash decision in the Lame Duck Session and instead work carefully with all stakeholders to truly examine what needs to be done regarding law enforcement in Illinois. The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) State Lodge, FOP Labor Council, FOP Chicago Lodge 7, Illinois Sheriffs’ Association and the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police have formed the Illinois Law Enforcement Coalition and have been working on these strategies since summer to improve community safety and enhance the trust between community members and law enforcement. In addition to that, Illinois State Representative Darren Bailey (R-Louisville) published a video this morning detailing how this 611-page bill would “cripple law enforcement in Illinois.” Take ACTION: https://www.votervoice.net/ILFI/campaigns/79136/respond Check out Bailey's Facebook page and morning videos at https://www.facebook.com/BaileyforIllinoishttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f430cd5f-2486-4498-a96b-f0a5024af876/7a711dd8-1c9c-47b3-9df4-7a31c78e6829-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/w9V3P1zT9EUVYmav1d8f4Y715002023-04-24T21:09:37.000ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/oqfFxhu4pZ43nXgaRuZPPZhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/fb212e6e-2fe4-4e11-a09d-a0f3d5e9095a.jpgChange Can ComeIt is easy to be hopeless about the state of our country.

He passed away on Monday, January 18th at his home. He was 93 years old. The founder of the Chicago-based Pro-Life Action League, Joe was greatly admired by many in Illinois and across the country. He and his wife Ann were singularly focused on defending the sanctity of life. Winsome even in the face of withering personal and legal assaults, Joe was steadfast for the cause of life. The left-wing New York Times published this about Joe: "His significance can be measured in the opposition he engendered. In 1986 the National Organization for Women sued him, arguing that by threatening to impede the work of abortion clinics, he was guilty of extortion and racketeering — one reason his allies and adversaries alike called him the “godfather” of the anti-abortion movement. The lawsuit, which he eventually won, lasted 20 years, one of the longest federal cases in history." His oldest son, Eric Scheidler, told the Chicago Sun-Times that his father “devoted five decades of his long life to proclaiming the value of human life at its most vulnerable stage, the child in the womb.” We will miss Joe and will continue to pray for his family and the vital work of the Pro-Life Action League. Joe and Ann have seven children, 27 grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. May his pro-life legacy be passed down through the generations.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c094ea77-7592-46ca-a35c-e6f0924637a3/44e43f89-9f3f-46ae-acde-ec3ea5bd80d0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/pMhDkt5ofHZmZSMvZX8gNT134002023-04-24T21:08:56.033ZProlifePro-Life Action LeagueAnn ScheidlerEric ScheidlerJoe ScheidlerYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/j7Ln9KoPsNUBAZ7QrosJMfhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/330fc500-be8f-4cfc-899f-65f84f40a86d.jpgPeacefully Witness for Life At Your Abortion Clinic TodayFind out more about 40 Days for Life here: https://www.40daysforlife.com/ Find a vigil near you here: https://www.40daysforlife.com/vigil-search.aspx Learn more about the Pro-Life Action League here: https://prolifeaction.org/https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/92b64c98-4b13-47a1-8b41-db50b7865a38/57cb8c87-32f1-473e-958b-074f30a3a70f-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/j7Ln9KoPsNUBAZ7QrosJMf119002023-04-24T21:08:31.370ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ijc9bcWffhVMRMuGKn79Nzhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/018f6b34-7320-4121-a806-0e625755bb1b.jpgNo Christian Will Be Safe From the Equality ActApprise your U.S. Senator of your feelings about the "Equality Act"!

Parental Notification is a deterrent to abortion. Since the Illinois PNA went into effect, it has been responsible for a 57% decrease in teenage abortions. Thousands of lives have been saved. That said, lives saved means, the Illinois abortion industry has lost millions of dollars in revenue. Keeping the PNA in place is vital. It’s not only about saving unborn children; it is protecting our daughters from being the victims of human sex-trafficking and or sexual predators.

Jones stated, “I love my daughter and care very deeply about what goes on in her life. If she were to get pregnant and were to consider an abortion, I would want to know so my wife and I could help her deal with the unexpected situation.” Pastor Jones noted the Tarrance opinion poll showed, “Seventy-six percent of minority men and 74% minority of women support this [current] law. So, it’s clear this law has the support of many across our state and it should not be repealed.” Jones called parental notification a matter of “common sense” and “supportive of the family which is the bedrock of society.” He appealed to legislators to see the seemingly contradictory message a repeal would send. “When our state laws ensure children can’t make their own decisions for accessing tanning beds, tattoos tobacco use,” Jones said, “it seems unfathomable that the law would allow minors to access abortion without any adult guidance. We know the potential severe physical and emotional consequences associated with abortion.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d7a0260f-154b-45ec-93b6-dca28deaec11/a97ba9e0-acf4-49d8-ae25-cbf9b945b37d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/sCk6vZJ3Cav2SUUCGj3HKx124002023-04-24T21:10:14.765ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/49oDDiaf6K2Wqa9UT6zfjDhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/8f2e84fe-9712-48e7-9ef5-bd5f90786a86.jpgU.S. Senator John Kennedy States The Obvious About Gender IdentityU.S. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) had an opportunity to respond publicly to the foolish leftwing assertions by CNN reporter Devan Cole who claimed recently that it is not possible to know a person's gender identity at birth. Stating the obvious, the conservative federal lawmaker said, "It's very easy to tell a boy from a girl. A boy has a penis, a girl has a vagina. Those are physical characteristics." The drift away from God, His Word and the local church makes our culture vulnerable to these types of fanatical deceptions. "For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness." ~2 Thessalonians 2:11-12https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/197752f7-c434-4779-b93b-c08176d2cd89/f7ecd441-2fdc-4504-8b51-ac24bd6b4d12-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/49oDDiaf6K2Wqa9UT6zfjD336002023-04-24T21:10:34.275ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hfSEr3nFNfVRZFJZ47G8Qohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d7a93dae-588a-41fb-9ad3-469d6740b61b.jpgLaura J. Lederer: Sex Trafficking, Healthcare and AbortionLaura J. Lederer is the co-author of a study which proves a direct connection between human trafficking, health care providers, and abortion, "The Health Consequences of Sex Trafficking and Their Implications for Identifying Victims in Healthcare Facilities." She unequivocally supports the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. During this press conference, she laid out key findings from the study that show “because of physical and emotionally abusive situations trafficking victims often seek healthcare providers for abortions, treatments of injuries, or birth control among other health issues. These encounters with healthcare providers offer a life-saving opportunity for trafficking victims since they are alone with a trained authority who can contact family members or law enforcement on their behalf.” She shared 88 percent of the survivors said while they were being trafficked, they had contact with some kind of healthcare provider. Sixty-three percent reported being taken to a hospital ER and 57 percent went to a neighborhood or women’s clinic. According to the study, 71 percent of survivors became pregnant at least once while being trafficked. Twenty-one percent said they became pregnant five times or more, and 55 percent reported at having at least one abortion. Thirty percent of trafficking survivors who become pregnant reported undergoing multiple abortions. Of the women who had abortions, 68 percent were performed at a clinic, 16 percent at hospital, and 14 percent were performed by “other.” Over half of the survivors who had abortions reported they were forced to do so by their trafficker. According to Lederer, others said they were “beaten around their stomachs or womb” when their traffickers knew they were pregnant.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/83a5da70-fa40-4533-bb35-644baf10e6b2/ecbd228e-12b1-46fb-b5d5-b4f1ea009c22-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hfSEr3nFNfVRZFJZ47G8Qo341002023-04-24T21:11:23.194ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/chu47CRpoTg2zdLqKMLRQzhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/8ab7f810-6231-4f3e-af1f-ba2ad90e6a34.jpgDr. Brook Bello: "I Plead Illinois... to Please Notify Parents"Dr. Brook Bello, who was raped at the age of 11, trafficked at 15, and forced to undergo multiple abortions by her trafficker, experience confirmed Lederer’s statements about parental notification. During the press conference she shared, “Had my parents been notified, my mother would have been notified what city I was near.” She further implied law enforcement could have been notified and she may have been rescued sooner. After Bello was rescued, she was plagued by women’s health problems, including fertility issues. She shared how her doctor lamented that she had been slow to speak with him about her past due to the trauma of being trafficked. He told her had he known earlier “we could have effectively dealt with all of the scar tissue, with all of the issues, and we could have been able to have had children.” Bello is the founder of More Too Life, an anti-trafficking organization dedicated to mentoring survivors and providing training to recognize and combat human trafficking. Additionally, she’s an author, actress, pastoral counselor, wife, and the recipient of Lifetime Achievement Award from former President Barrack Obama. Having accomplished so much, she shared, “All I ever wanted was to be loved, to be married, to have three children. They’re [her children] in heaven.” After recounting her traumatic past, she asked, “Why wouldn’t someone, unless it’s an emancipated youth, give that opportunity for that person’s parents to be notified?” Speaking passionately Bello said, “I ask the public; I ask the Illinois legislator: ‘Why would you want a child to keep something secret that is going to affect her for the rest of her life?’” She implored, “I beg of you, Illinois. I plead Illinois, to not reverse, to please notify parents... Give them a safe place to fall and notify parents.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5b61b6db-5c86-46fd-957f-89bb14ab5175/d4bf96fb-5295-45d9-8073-afd365c9b106-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/chu47CRpoTg2zdLqKMLRQz279002023-04-24T21:11:31.353ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/jbVsyYTFK1PVxGM22ojo9thttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/719118cb-85a8-410f-bac4-77723a0c896f.jpgBERENSON: The Case Against PotRecreational marijuana is now legal in 15 states plus Washington D.C. Marijuana advocates argue that this product is harmless, and that is good to help people "chill" out and destress. But the efforts to glorify marijuana has been built on lies. For example, that marijuana arrests fill prisons; that most doctors want to use cannabis as medicine; that it can somehow stem the opiate epidemic; that it is not just harmless but beneficial for mental health. Berenson, a former New York Times reporter, explodes those myths in his book, “Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness And Violence.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/934ae0d7-c067-40d9-983a-bd635f274793/335e2a7b-994a-4aca-bff8-3438f7c960a5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/jbVsyYTFK1PVxGM22ojo9t3388002023-04-24T21:25:02.776ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hfgx35EZKWSirrtgYqDbnRhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e57a54d3-2118-45d9-906e-2428e0e35c4c.jpgProtect Young Girls, Protect the Parental Notice of Abortion Act!Democrat state lawmakers introduced the Repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act (HB 1797 and SB 2190) in the Illinois General Assembly’s spring legislative session. The bill would repeal the current law and allow minor females to obtain abortions without a parent’s or guardian’s knowledge. The group, Parents for the Protection of Girls, recently held a press conference announcing their strong opposition to the repeal. The Tarrance Group conducted a survey of 600 registered voters in Illinois and found that “nearly three-quarters [of Illinoisans] are opposed to repealing the Parental Notice Law.” According to those polled, 72% of overall respondents support the current parental notification requirement. When those surveyed were asked, “’If a minor is seeking an abortion, do you believe a parent or guardian should be notified?,’ only 22% said ‘no’ or ‘strongly no’ to that question.” Call the Capitol switchboard at (217) 782-2000 and ask for your state representative. Let him/her know that gutting or repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion Act will subvert families and create an environment to protect their minor daughters’ abusers. Ask them to oppose any and all efforts to repeal or amend the law and, instead, uphold parental rights.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/83903487-13f7-4f62-b452-27d25de8b4e3/0428cad9-84d7-4460-8b9b-67cbb74f1e37-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hfgx35EZKWSirrtgYqDbnR301002023-04-24T21:12:14.014ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nMZLdrfwAMDCZ5wHDCvQ9Dhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c49b60f5-d8bd-49f4-88c5-b2c9d82adcb3.jpgMr. Rogers on The Tonight Show"Boys are boys from the beginning, girls are girls right from the start" says Mr. Rogers.

On Thursday afternoon (May 20th), the Illinois Senate took up and debated another “comprehensive” sex education bill (SB 818) that so-called “progressives” and their evil allies–Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and Equality Illinois–are using to indoctrinate children starting in kindergarten. This bill to corrupt children with leftist humanistic values is sponsored by Illinois State Senator Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) and passed by a partisan vote of 37 to 18 with four members not voting.

Principal Sandra Coughlin led the families and students in the Pledge of Allegiance but notably omitted the words “of the United States of America” and “under God,” generating audible outrage from the attendees and creating division in what should have been a time of unity and joy. See video My finely honed powers of deduction lead me to believe she is a leftist. It is leftists who abhor tradition. It is leftists who hate America. It is leftists who reject God. It is leftists who seek to divide. It is leftists who exploit their government-subsidized jobs to advance their own socio-political purposes. What is uniquely galling is that Coughlin chose to ruin a special family milestone—one made more special this year by the trials suffered by students and their loved ones because of the pandemic and the selfishness of teachers’ unions—in order to get her two worthless cents in. She demonstrated a degree of self-righteousness and self-absorption remarkable even for leftist change-agents who identify as “educators.” This was not an act of inclusivity or kindness. It was the rhetorical equivalent of giving every American of every race, ethnicity, nation of origin, and religion who loves this country and its principles the middle finger. It was a brazen insult hurled at everyone in the audience who believes that all men and women are endowed with unalienable rights by their Creator. It suggests she holds no allegiance to the United States. Enquiring minds wonder if Coughlin would be willing to take the Naturalization Oath of Allegiance that every naturalized citizen takes, which says “I will bear true faith and allegiance to the [United States of America].” If Coughlin has moral or religious reasons for her unwillingness to lead the Pledge of Allegiance properly, ...https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/acc14802-e4d7-490c-9930-443b7c00c340/f2f244e4-27ea-4e5d-a79f-dcf4496e72f1-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/nkhBwo9nT6LTaT5bvQBbmY114002023-04-24T21:13:24.553ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/wnqZ7HMZhrbcgfgtuvXPNchttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/59ae3895-20ad-4910-976e-3676cbb32b6b.jpgIllinois Dems Want to Consolidate Power in Springfield (HB 2789)On Thursday, April 22nd, the Illinois House passed HB 2789, an authoritarian proposal sponsored by State Representative Michelle Mussman (D-Schaumburg). This bill adds an amendment to an existing law granting sole authority to determine whether, when, and under what conditions public and private schools can return to in-person instruction in the event of a public health crisis to the Department of Public Health. Does HB 2789 include private schools and homeschools? We believe it does. The Catholic Conference of Illinois is lobbying against it. Why? The legislation requires that the Illinois Department of Health "establish requirements by rule for providing in-person instruction at nonpublic schools and public schools..." The phrase "nonpublic schools" is repeated three times in the bill. Our attorneys and policy experts believe that nonpublic encompass all private schools in the state of Illinois -- including home schools. Take ACTION: Send a message to your state senator asking him/her to vote against HB 2789. If we have learned anything during the COVID-19 lockdown, it is that a one size fits all approach doesn't work. We have local school boards and county health officials who are better positioned to respond to health crisis. With a few days left before the Illinois General Assembly adjourns for the summer, your local state senator must hear from you. Please! Let them know clearly, but politely, that we vehemently oppose giving bureaucrats at the Department of Public Health Powers in Springfield MORE authority. This power grab by Springfield is alarming.

(HB 156)Late in the morning, on the last day of the 2021 Spring Session, the Illinois Senate had a very short debate regarding HB 156. This proposal, if passed, would mandate that school districts make menstrual hygiene products available, at no cost to students, in each bathroom of every school building. This preposterous bill passed the Illinois House by a vote of 68-43 on May 20th, and had 39 cosponsors. There were also 6 members of the House not voting on this proposal. Thankfully, State Senator Jil Tracy (R-Quincy) spoke up and asked some vital questions of the sponsor, Senator Karina Villa (D-West Chicago). In response to those questions, Senator Villa withdrew her bill from the record. Approximately 6 hours later, the bill was brought back before the Illinois Senate for debate and a vote. It passed by a vote of 39 to 17 with 3 members not voting on the proposal. State Senators Darren Bailey, Neal Anderson and Jason Plummer to ask questions and point to the bill's absurdity.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3c5f65b8-6fa2-4b20-8c21-337ccfd12434/5a3c98e1-98a2-4ede-ae97-47693b7a1104-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8soRX2sh23DtqdSsmj4hCU1240002023-04-24T21:30:51.949ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/szKYRrDYb8ucTcxBVNZUwVhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/439c0492-d5aa-4219-9f46-b156e1800d7a.jpgIFI Prayer Session: First Week of JuneIFI's Pastor Richard Giovannetti and Dave Smith set aside some time to pray for our state, nation, families and His Church today.

He does this with careful attention to the line between the state's indoctrination and the good influences that may still be present, if quiet, in public schools, for Christians are everywhere. Nevertheless, he does emphasize the freedom that the Christian schools have to proclaim Christ and His Kingdom and to teach about God's presence in and influence over all things. This "quick hits" list serves as a great reminder of the many advantages that Christian schools hold over public education.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fe76e0ab-8362-48f6-b5e0-0b355f05b633/4599a5c6-2cb1-449b-926a-c22558cdc0bd-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/xquLwhpC7qfqa91mqeBGpn295002023-04-24T21:31:36.393ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/1cncuWiduKyJdznFdTRyH6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6578c4c2-1a72-4619-9a89-dd50cec08957.jpgAlex Newman: Public School ExitIn this webinar, Alex Newman stresses the importance of getting children out of public schools as quickly as possible. His reasons for this are many and stem from the global agendas being forced into the curriculum. These include socialism and communism--both failed experiments in other parts of the world--as well as the ever-expanding sexual education. This "education" only begins at the "drag queen story hours" that we have been hearing about for years. Now, schools can hide sex change services from parents, and educational materials go so far as to teach about the pedophilia present in ancient Greece. Furthermore, these schools are teaching Islamic and Buddhist principles, while banning prayer in schools, as part of the "global education" that schools are moving toward. Ultimately, they hope for a "world core curriculum" that will have the same standards for every child in every school in the world. This has always been the goal, Newman says, and is a sign to parents: get your children out of government schools.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/01963ecf-e938-4ed3-ae6b-bdd3f6016e67/998e0125-a130-4c60-806c-bbba62d55a63-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/1cncuWiduKyJdznFdTRyH62423002023-04-24T21:33:49.243ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/mYKETjL3ZUWYepvn38eWaHhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/2e636e1c-527c-418f-ae08-fc5aad192759.jpgKirk Smith: Homeschooling Is a Great OptionIn this short video, Mr. Kirk Smith of Illinois Christian Home Educators discusses why homeschooling is an excellent option for educating your children. As a former public school teacher who used to speak against homeschooling, Mr. Smith can speak truly about how wonderful homeschooling has ended up being for his family despite the sacrifice it has required. He argues that because the student cannot be greater than the teacher, students who are sent to "Rome" will return as Romans; furthermore, as other speakers in this video series have argued, a few hours at church each week cannot adequately combat the agendas being taught all day every weekday in public schools. Homeschooling, then, is a great option to consider--take it from a skeptical father who has truly seen its fruits!

Ceasar LeFlore discusses the many options that parents have for educating their children if they take them out of private schools. The public schools are indoctrinating our children, he reminds us, with liberal, sexually perverted, postmodern agendas, and the time they spend there far overpowers the short time that they spend in church on Sundays. While it is important for them to know reading, writing, and arithmetic, it is far more important that they know the truths of the Kingdom of God, and this is not something that they will learn in the public schools. With this in mind, Rev. LeFlore speaks on numerous resources for educating our children with a focus on teaching them God's ways.

CRT, as she explains, has its foundations in Marxism, which leads us to ask: how did we as Americans, in our unique and free country, get to the point of accepting any Marxist theory? Where are the principles that our nation was based on? Beyond this, Washington shows us CRT in schools teaches children that they are either privileged or victims, a worldview which may be concerning to many parents, regardless of their professed political views. She explains how CRT is like a Trojan horse, claiming to help people get along while destroying children's innocence. All of this, she says, is why it is important to teach children the right worldview in the home, regardless of their type of education, arming them for battle.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/689d1aa1-44ff-4a10-9cb3-f3bf9cf31f19/ba297e09-5786-45b7-8674-3d15ecadaca7-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/dVfCWrxxbNGZ8gGo8Mv28F3011002023-04-24T21:58:33.103ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5zpXJwEXmEaL1jsfcWz9BNhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb76f93f-7c5b-4a7d-a81a-6e2f4f1d7de9.jpgAngela Sailor: The Truth About CRTAngela Sailor of the Heritage Foundation presents some background on Critical Race Theory, discussing what it teaches and contrasting it with the truth of the American story that is no longer being taught in schools. Our country is great, she reminds us, and CRT is a wolf in sheep's clothing, to borrow a phrase which Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., used to refer to segregation. CRT is "tearing down the foundations of Western culture," Sailor says, and parents ought to listen and stand up for appropriate civics education in schools lest we lose these foundations. This insightful and thoughtful lecture is both a refresher on the lies CRT teaches and a reminder of the strong foundations of American culture.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/250edd90-c843-4d63-b181-94c5fa437224/9deb9816-32c9-4def-b568-7baa0ae47b98-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/5zpXJwEXmEaL1jsfcWz9BN3975002023-04-24T21:42:55.032ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/4wzPRGnkUNtkVvAmkfQESJhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/56199256-d3bd-4ffe-81b8-220c8525f678.jpg"You're Being Bamboozled" | C.L.

Sus razones para esto son muchas y provienen de las agendas globales que se están imponiendo en el plan de estudios. Estos incluyen el socialismo y el comunismo, ambos experimentos fallidos en otras partes del mundo, así como la educación sexual en constante expansión. Esta "educación" solo comienza en las "horas de cuentos de drag queen" de las que hemos estado escuchando durante años. Ahora, las escuelas pueden ocultar los servicios de cambio de sexo a los padres, y los materiales educativos van tan lejos como para enseñar sobre la pedofilia presente en la antigua Grecia. Además, estas escuelas están enseñando principios islámicos y budistas, al tiempo que prohíben la oración en las escuelas, como parte de la "educación global" hacia la que están avanzando las escuelas. En última instancia, esperan un "plan de estudios básico mundial" que tenga los mismos estándares para todos los niños en todas las escuelas del mundo. Este siempre ha sido el objetivo, dice Newman, y es una señal para los padres: sacar a sus hijos de las escuelas públicas.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8c4d2bd9-54ee-41fc-b074-8983f32b84c6/294a3601-5a89-44c7-9164-f5fd340771bf-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ijRnxoengLng6QENTcbH772333002023-04-24T21:50:10.258ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/fp7rzs3tngYrTZoNrUvUUuhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f7bcc38e-9079-4be6-bd5a-00dc65af329a.jpgPastor Doug Wilson: Turn to ChristTake 6 minutes to listen to this encouraging segment of a recent sermon given by Pastor Doug Wilson.

Unfortunately, that same afternoon, the Illinois Senate Executive Committee heard testimony on HB 370, the legislation to repeal the Parental Notice of Abortion Act. A few hours later, it was sent to the Illinois Senate floor, debated and then passed by a vote of 32-22, with 5 senators not voting. We must not remain silent in the face of this attack on young pregnant mothers and their pre-born babies. State lawmakers should be made to feel very uncomfortable to vote in favor of repealing a bill that is intended to protect a minor girl from sexual predators and from a life or death decision for her unborn child.

The bill was taken up for debate Wednesday evening where it was debated and then passed by a vote a 64-52 with 2 voting present. Myles Holmes, IFI Board member and pastor of Revive Church in Collinsville emphatically points out that “government is not God and has no right to usurp the place of parents in the instruction and direction of their children’s lives. The passage of this onerous bill demonstrates the Marxist control that Democrats want over our families. The first response of Christian families must be to remove their children from government control in the public schools, and the second is to work hard to remove these politicians in the next election.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/97f7ca24-4fc7-4e23-83e1-ee4b358d40a3/917ef8e5-e82b-4c98-a2bf-b989f91a38ab-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/jLpD3wXKfwZC8tL4bf4XuX2662002023-04-24T22:05:28.298ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/1YZaYjCHgVszf3Kiz18pgphttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/de115dcf-01db-4476-92fe-bd4450c55116.jpgPastor Courtney Lewis: Voice of Truth 2021IFI’s annual Voice of Truth Award is given to those who model the courage to teach, promote, and speak of God’s moral law in today’s culture. This year we are pleased to present this award to Rev. Courtney Lewis, pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church, located in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago. In this short video, IFI's Pastor Ceasar LeFlore and Pastor Lewis discuss the vital need for and value of a Christian education that is respectful of parental authority and teaches from a Christ-based curriculum. Pastor Lewis understands well the impact the academy has had on his church and the future impact the academy’s students will have in the community as they take what they have learned out into the world.

To be very clear, these are not questions that I expect you to answer right now. I am asking them for the benefit of reflective thinking for the district, especially in the month leading up to the approval of these calendars. One, does the District 200 administration recognize the impact of holidays, statues, and other memorials on shaping school culture, which in turn shapes student experiences and outcomes? Two, does the District 200 administration consider celebrating extreme violence, theft, genocide, and dehumanization to be in line with the study of social science to help students develop the ability to make informed and reasoned decisions for the benefit of the global society in which they live? Three, does the District 200 administration affirm the accurate telling of history and recognize the impossibility of “discovering” land already inhabited? Four, does the District 200 administration take into consideration the perspectives of Indigenous people regarding this particular calendar event? Five, could maintaining this District 200 calendar event unintentionally support a myth of U.S. exceptionalism that could undermine district efforts to create diverse, inclusive schools for all children? Lastly, does this calendar event advance the vision and mission of District 200 goals? And if it does not, must it remain despite state-level support?"https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32e2605f-a652-43e0-8d81-9494bcf4f603/8a85098e-ee42-4521-8981-9dafe0412b68-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7hrokMj5QFaAZ7cdvZ8BET140002023-04-24T22:05:40.081ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rt9qC3si9o8maLamCUskAJhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/cc3bade7-bf28-4351-88e9-ec7e98104dba.jpgBig Ed vs. Parental RightsListen to the testimony of a middle school teacher from central Illinois in this segment from the Dan & Amy Show on Chicago's WIND (560 AM). “It’s real and it’s everywhere.” What is this teacher from central Illinois referring to? Indoctrination taking place all the time in government schools. Julia, from Bloomington, called the Dan and Amy show to expose what she sees all the time in the school district where she teaches. Listen to this exchange about what she, as a teacher, sees all the time in her school; a sinister agenda IFI has been warning about for years. If you believe indoctrination is only taking place in a small school district in central Illinois, you have not been paying attention. Think it’s not happening in your child’s school? Think again! Government schools are NOT our friends. Get your kids/grandkids OUT of government schools! It may be difficult, but what’s more important - doing the hard thing or sacrificing your child to godless ideology? Take them out of government schools!

In this video, he addresses the alarming decline in the percentage of young Americas, 18-29-year-olds, who believe that America is an exceptional country and the rising percentage of individuals who believe that other nations are greater than the U.S. Hegseth also describes how an intentional, progressive takeover, one hundred years in the making, facilitated the introduction and indoctrination of Critical Theory, Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, and blatant anti-Americanism pro-Marxism to students in government schools.

In previous years, the group’s display was called "Snaketivity" and represented Eve's arm with her hand holding an apple and the snake wrapped around her arm. Upon the base of the sculpture appeared the phrase "Knowledge is the Greatest Gift." Their statement was a deliberate affront to Christians, as Christians know that the greatest gift is Jesus Christ and His redemption on the cross. This year the Satanists put their display up on December 21st when many Pagans celebrate the winter solstice. The group used a statue on loan from the Satanic Temple in Salem, Massachusetts. Entitled "Baby Baphomet," this statue of a male infant, human-goat hybrid is a grotesque representation and mocks the infant Christ in the manger. The group’s intent is to create a mockery of Christianity while presenting blasphemous images in the name of "equal access."https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0f8d976d-5b86-4dcb-988f-b6c29acecdcd/042be5c7-b491-40b5-898a-40ec89cfc461-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2VoLHbt14kAWuXprUK49RK208002023-04-24T22:07:35.260ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vdpdrCsxihDCGKnZ8FcbiLhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/115e3a11-cac3-433b-96d1-9248342387ea.jpgJan Crawford Tells the Truth on Face the NationOh, I- just for me, I mean, my kids hear me rant about this every day, so I might as well tell you guys it's- it's the crushing impact that our COVID policies have had on young kids and children. By far the least serious risk for serious illness. But I mean, even teenagers, you know, a healthy teenager has a one in a million chance of getting, and dying from COVID, which is way lower than, you know, dying in a car wreck on a road trip. But they have suffered and sacrificed the most, especially kids and underrepresented at risk communities. And now we have the Surgeon General saying there's a mental health crisis among our kids. The risk of suicide girl suicide attempts among girls now up 51% this year, black kids nearly twice as likely as white kids to die by suicide. I mean, school closures, lockdowns, cancellation of sports. You couldn't even go on a playground in the D.C. area without cops scurrying- getting- shooing the kids off tremendous negative impact on kids, and it's been an afterthought. You know, it's it's it's hurt their dreams, their future learning, loss, risk of abuse, their mental health. And now, with our knowledge, our vaccines. If our policies don't reflect a more measured and reasonable approach for our children, they will be paying for our generation's decisions, the rest of their lives. And that, to me, is the greatest underreported story of the past year.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec9440b9-a810-47cf-b3e0-97a41e83efb6/d11b7403-ecdc-4e8a-bf1a-95ebbb422511-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vdpdrCsxihDCGKnZ8FcbiL97002023-04-24T22:07:52.624ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ak7GaqD2zXSeF2rN3kN21yhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/0390a829-d780-46d5-86dd-751c3e9f3465.jpgKenna Rose: Chicago and Cook County's Vaccine MandateChicago and Cook County snollygosters are now requiring COVID-19 vaccination proof for indoor venues due to a surge in infection of a "pandemic" virus that has a 98 percent recovery rate.

Or maybe you have a favorite movie that you’ve watched many times over, yet, with each viewing there seems to be a line of dialogue or a particular scene that impacts you in a new way. Both of the scenarios above describe how we feel about the keynote message Dr. Erwin Lutzer presented at the Illinois Family Institute 2021 Faith, Family & Freedom Fall Banquet.

But we had to look at them, like the role of foreign intelligence services and so forth, because we were waiting for the I.G.'s report to be finished, which really got into what the FBI's, quote, spying on the president's campaign.

Dr. Leithart is a prolific writer who has authored many books and writes a regular column for First Things Magazine. He received an A.B. in English and History from Hillsdale College in 1981, and a Master of Arts in Religion and a Master of Theology from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia in 1986 and 1987. In 1998 he received his Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in England. He and his wife, Noel, have ten children and twelve grandchildren. The first segment of the interview with Dr. Leithart is titled “How Are We Living in Apocalyptic Times?” Pastor Buikema begins by asking what Dr. Leithart means when he refers to “apocalyptic times.” Dr. Leithart explains how he uses that term and shows what “end times have looked like throughout the history of the church. He points to the “fraying of Christian civilization” in America and Europe as evidence that the world system in which we’ve been living is experiencing a “massive upheaval” that signals the end—an apocalypse—of one system, with another one soon to emerge.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b6ff1a96-dc79-4710-98d0-5b436a454294/1acfe274-3a50-4687-b480-7699febb06b2-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/oACWwASM4GwAPCtSnLHuyu327002023-04-24T22:18:30.506ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/sEukP2pZgQttwR5AEgrZzYhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5b3f2ce3-474e-4bbe-9691-acd6d043f83a.jpgParent Response to District 200 School BoardA parent was outraged by the presentation given by student to other students on a racially charged subject matter From Breakthrough Ideas (https://www.breakthrough-ideas.com/) Read more: https://illinoisfamily.org/education/school-approved-racism-in-western-suburb-of-chicago/https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d7ed55a3-bc97-4710-af45-85b30127fbce/2be0a7b9-690d-4420-9110-b3c716f2a10a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/sEukP2pZgQttwR5AEgrZzY188002023-04-24T22:18:46.730ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/82cambAc3mZzDeD38a4nMShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4972db98-9bec-40d2-b39d-615df0d70285.jpgDan & Amy on Public School IndoctrinationOn the Dan & Amy morning radio program this morning, they discussed indoctrination in our government schools and the documentary “Who’s Children Are They?” If you have 20 minutes, please give this a listen. Near the end, Dan rightly explains that our school systems are not reformable, and that the need for school choice is taking off. I am glad for these other voices in the public square saying essentially the same thing we are saying. Of course, we are emphasizing the most important aspect of why kids should leave the training camps of the devil… so that we teach them how they can become Disciples of Jesus Christ.

Dr. Leithart specifically mentions unfaithfulness as manifest in the church’s willingness to “accommodate” homosexuality, transgender issues, and abortion. He views accommodation to those issues as symptoms of unfaithfulness rather than root causes. Dr. Leithart then addresses the root causes of the “lethargy” of the church to confront cultural issues. Addressing these root causes within the church will enable Christians to combat what theologian, professor, and pastor, Carl Trueman refers to as the “ascendancy of the self.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/fbe342ab-ddc8-4c7c-ac21-f40c30a37eb6/9ff1313e-b26a-44e2-ad24-f08134a7d6bc-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/x73r7qEseNpAEcxCBnUpTu359002023-04-24T22:21:48.256ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/x1HZsGz7E8QY6hoWHNDNSFhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/9b91b925-8ca2-41f7-b76a-5edffea6dffb.jpgState Rep Tom Morrison Honestly Addresses Transgender Newspeak on Illinois House FloorHuzzah! Well done Tom Morrison!! Read more: Gender Pretenders Destroying Authenticity and Liberty https://illinoisfamily.org/homosexuality/gender-pretenders-destroying-authenticity-and-liberty/ Transcript: For these past several weeks, we’ve been hearing facts about women’s history month, and I’m sure that we’ll hear more facts today and this week. When we hear those words, we think about our own mothers, wives, daughters, other notable women throughout history. We objectively know what a woman is, but it’s become increasingly common now to pretend that we don’t know. This is becoming George Orwell’s 1984. It’s Newspeak. It’s gaslighting. It’s activists pounding the table to declare that two plus two equals five. And that does not make it so. Demands that society accept lies as facts in the name of tolerance, inclusion, and justice is anything but. It’s not right, compassionate, or just. This past weekend, the NCAA allowed a man to become a national champion in women’s swimming. This action was months and years in the making, and it denied that rightful place of honor to actual female athletes, several of whom were denied being named All Americans because their place was taken by University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas. Anyone who thinks that fairness in sports competition is the only issue here is missing the point. Months ago, teammates of Lia Thomas complained to school officials that Thomas had exposed male nudity repeatedly in their locker room. This should have been a clearcut case of indecency and harassment, but university officials ignored the women’s concerns and discomfort. “Listen to women.” In this case, hardly. Parents in Los Alamitos, California last month sent their fifth-grade girls on a three-day overnight school science field trip. After the weekend concluded, the girls told their parents that three male counselors who identify as non-binary shared those cabin quarters with the girls for each of the nights.

Dr. Leithart explains the reasons for these failures of the contemporary church, which include cowardice in the face of public pressure and the exaltation of “toleration” as an unalloyed good within Western churches, which is turning churches into “allies of the persecutors.” Pastor Buikema then asked how Christians can discern whether a church or Christian institution, including Christian colleges, has capitulated too much to the world. Dr. Leithart offers several ways for Christians to assess properly whether a church is standing steadfastly with Christ as opposed to making “space” for the world. This discussion is especially important at this time in the history of the church in America, when “progressivism” is infiltrating and corrupting Christian institutions.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e8392790-ddaf-457c-a7ab-0fe174543d8e/562f2cd7-18c0-4e24-9b14-10b4c6df65bc-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uFcMKbQYnoNFhyKfSiWMSE448002023-04-24T22:22:48.759ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/1hQVeyEYu4SFVN2ubk28sZhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4e004af0-d9f3-4764-aee0-309cc8b3ffd4.jpgWhat is God Revealing Now?In Part 4 of Illinois Family Institute’s interview with theologian Dr. Peter Leithart, Pastor Derek Buikema asks what God is revealing to us in this “apocalyptic time.” Dr. Leithart briefly discusses contemporary ideas about the self and self-actualization that have the appearance of liberation but have led to diverse pathologies.

Are Leftism and Christianity diametrically opposed? Is Leftism even compatible with Christianity? Find out as Dr. Everett Piper, former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, tackles these questions and more in his speech “The Religion of Wokeism.” Whether it’s defending unborn children or protecting our borders, Dr. Piper explains how conservative views coincide with Christianity. He talks about how the religion of wokeism requires us to submit ourselves to others, judge people on how they look instead of how they act, affirm detestable behavior and many more ideas that oppose a Biblical worldview. In essence, you will learn how incompatible the progressive and Christian agendas are. Dr. Piper also delves into how our society has come to this horrible state, whether it be through irresponsible parents, corrupt pastors, or the indoctrination center that is the schooling system. Author of books such as Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth and his newest book Grow Up: Life Isn’t Safe, But It’s Good, Dr. Piper leaves us with hope for the future. He emphasizes staying grounded in truth because we know God will prevail.

It has deemed the truth to be subjective, nothing more than your own personal beliefs or “lived experience.” The real truths of the world scare many people and make them cower in the corner, hiding from their unavoidable reality. In his impactful and thoughtful speech, Dr. Everett Piper dismantles society’s beliefs about truth through a Biblical lens and exhibits the consequences these beliefs will have. His unwavering, unapologetic, and firm defense of truth will arm you with the information you need to dismantle the Left’s arguments. Dr. Piper, an author and former president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, shares with us the importance and cruciality of truth in our world. He explores how the denial of truth has led to an increase in violent ideology and tyranny. The Bible says that the truth will set us free, and as time moves forward, we can see how governments who deny the truth of scripture, Jesus, and reality have become increasingly overbearing and controlling. The denial of these things has not given us more freedom as they claim, but rather has contributed to governments with endless restrictions, rules, and control. As Dr. Piper explains, the denial of truth has and will continue to lead to oppression and despair. We see this in women’s sports where women are unfairly beat by men who have a distinct physical advantage. We can see this in abortion where the denial of life itself has contributed to the killing of millions and post-partum depression. We can see this in the gay agenda where denial of truth about marriage and family is bringing about willful child abuse as children are denied the complementary love of a father and mother as parents. During the Q&A segment, Dr. Piper answers any burning questions you may still have while also leaving us with hope for the future and practical ways we can fight back against the war on truth.

We are going to see an awakening when people are forced to grapple with what abortion is — the poisoning to death, lethal injection, and dismemberment of innocent kids. When people learn the truth about abortion - they change. We are thrilled, and we are just getting started. "I’ve seen people flip from pro-choice to pro-life simply ... by learning about what abortion actually does." ~Lila Rosehttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3fc1ea91-f894-44f3-b49c-1edf3c248d03/486675a2-8578-4689-b817-a98cad8cbaf8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8SCVLXJ3byzHgDutjUVbZH229002023-04-24T22:28:44.708ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/q1cCbSzG31CFxEYz7Jwy6ahttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/87b9e2cb-7854-41e8-a2fd-73ce754ffb27.jpgDr. Rob Rienow: The Sufficiency of ScriptureMany people question if the Bible is truly enough in our world that repeatedly throws new innovations, ideas, and beliefs at us, While many people have pushed the Bible to the wayside, claiming it’s “irrelevant” or “outdated,” Dr. Rob Rienow, the leader of Visionary Family Ministries, talks to us about why the Bible is just as relevant today as when it was first written. The Bible not only acts as a guide to religion, but also in our day-to-day lives through its wisdom and truth. Dr. Rienow says although our hearts naturally tend towards wickedness because of our sinful nature, we are still able to be righteous and followers of Christ because of the directions that Scripture gives us. In his inspiring and informative speech,  Dr. Rienow shows how we should use the Bible as a guiding force throughout our entire lives, not just when dealing with things relating to religion. Despite our changing world, the Bible’s authority and ideas still hold true to this day, he points out. While our own ideas, prejudices, and beliefs will lead us astray from God, his word is the bond between us and Him that will prevent us from leaving his side. Whether it be questions about religion and science, or government and marriage, Dr. Rienow explains us clearly and powerfully that all of these questions are answered by the Bible. We must understand, he says, that the Bible is useful for all of the decisions and problems that come into our lives. We have seen the devastating consequences of a society that ignores Scripture, Dr. Rienow says, and we must make sure this trend doesn’t continue.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c2627dc8-30d4-4907-b20b-c067e76edefb/a27ca8cc-e7c3-489c-ad4c-8af8659c219a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/q1cCbSzG31CFxEYz7Jwy6a2005002023-04-24T22:32:26.797ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/q4pW24zXMPq5JxxaDbZPh6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/61f64418-5e26-4155-a60c-19e2cd19bfbf.jpgNew World ExodusRev. Ceasar LeFlore makes a Biblical and practical case for parents and religious leaders to remove their children from the anti-biblical, new world indoctrination of government schools, and into an atmosphere of Christian discipleship and more effective learning available to them through home and Christian schools. He discusses the Biblical mandates concerning parental responsibility to ensure their children receive wisdom, knowledge and understanding, which we call education; and to build that education on the Knowledge of God. He focuses on parental responsibility to protect their children from the lies and deceptive influences of postmodernist, Marxist, and other woke agendas that are so prevalent in public school boards and contemporary school curriculum; and illustrate the horrible results to a society’s that fails to do so.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c2d54eaf-afd7-424e-bda3-38b0eb81c3a9/05947e26-e6fe-4dc8-8b7e-19929fc1bbd8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/q4pW24zXMPq5JxxaDbZPh63850002023-04-24T22:48:33.740ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vGtAQ47Lv34uCrQ81gDLnLhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e6a22edd-db87-4734-8bdb-f64af284fb50.jpgGas Prices in Summer 2022Special Report anchor Bret Baier and crew highlight the shockingly high price of natural gas and crude oil.

Throughout this segment, Dan Proft goes through the statistics of children’s proficiency in school. The Illinois State Report Card gives startling statistics, as these reveal the failure of the government to properly educate our children. Parents have a duty to take their kids out of public schools, not only because of the ethics that are being taught, but also because education is not being achieved. Funny enough, the Illinois State Board of Education gives flying colors to the teachers in the system saying that they are excellent, proficient teachers. As Proft says, “All of the teachers are excellent and none of the kids can read or do math.” It is evident that our children are being indoctrinated, not educated.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0f3db4ce-93f7-4d8f-a5ba-6c48f199ef20/38943b4c-2b3f-4c12-acfa-310151033298-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2Ta9ngP567rbhHEcx8RHVA690002023-04-24T22:34:49.356ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uEMK6frXb7e7T3WW43NGbMhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/12a494e1-a178-43f8-97c8-7b6343e94974.jpgDr. Rob Rienow: The Church, The Family, and the Kingdom of GodAs the Church continues to grow, and youth ministries flourish, you would expect this generation of children to be closer to God more than ever. You would expect plenty of children to become and continue being Christians, and in return, Christianity would prosper. But as most of us know, this is sadly not the case. Christianity is on the decline and many children who grew up as Christians are tragically leaving the faith as they grow older. Why is this happening despite churches being plentiful and youth ministries nearly at every church? Why would Christianity be in dire trouble if churches seem to be stronger than ever? Dr. Rob Rienow doesn’t think that the Church is to blame; he thinks the solution is found in the family and the home. Dr. Rob Rienow, an author and missionary, tells us in his informative and entertaining speech how important family is when it comes to spreading the gospel, especially for children. It is said numerous times in the Bible that Jesus loves children and that children are important to faith. Jesus even says that we are all to accept the Gospel like little children. This great importance that is placed upon children is not simply just because children are innocent and sweet, but it also shows us God’s bigger plan for Christians. God often commands us to have children and fill the earth, but for what reason? Perhaps the reason is that God wants us to spread the Gospel by first having children that will be future disciples of his Word. If we want to start reaching others with the Good News, what better place to start spreading the Word of God than in our own homes with our own children? Join Dr. Rienow and explore with him the reason that children are deviating from the path at an alarmingly high rate, and more importantly, how we can help fix this problem.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e82a55f8-d0ef-496e-a727-505178cb56c1/f5d0f81c-81e4-4e4a-b54c-60b0a6e21e66-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uEMK6frXb7e7T3WW43NGbM2742002023-04-24T22:40:10.704ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/tr9buNye5f1Do1krcoE2QNhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4552d056-8732-427f-b4c3-a8cb258741df.jpgTeaching and Celebrating Sexual Immorality in Government SchoolsThis "news" segment from WGN News is not only highly biased and extreme pro-LGBT propaganda, but it is emotionally manipulative in its narrative.

Wade decision which fabricated the "right to privacy" and made abortion legal. The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, was handed down by a 6 to 3 decision and means that the only abortion clinic in Mississippi will have to shut it's doors when the state's trigger law banning abortions takes effect. Within the first few pages of the 213-page decision, , Justice Alito stated there is no constitutional right to abortion. There is no federal protection of a civil "right" to kill pre-born babies. Illinois Family Institute celebrates the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the 1992 Casey v. Planned Parenthood held that states cannot ban pre-viability abortions, i.e. those done before a child can survive outside the womb. Gov. JB Pritzker has made it abundantly clear that he intends to make the state of Illinois an abortion sanctuary. He, with the help of pro-abortion legislators, intends to force Illinois taxpayers to pay for the abortions of everyone. Illinois Democrats have already made abortion less safe in the Land of Lincoln, by repealing the Parental Notice of Abortion law. Now they want nurses and midwives along with other healthcare personnel to be able to preform abortions in Illinois in order to accommodate the flood of victims coming across state lines. Some pro-life leaders think that Illinois abortion numbers will increase by 25k to 30k a year. Our work is just beginning to defend and protect life. Illinois Family Institute upholds the sanctity of life from conception to natural death.

Wade and the 1992 Casey v. Planned Parenthood that established that states cannot ban pre-viability abortions, i.e., those done before a child can survive outside the womb. While the high court’s decision to uphold the Mississippi law challenging Roe does not outlaw abortion, it does hand regulatory power to state governments — the majority of which have indicated their intention to make it illegal to terminate a pregnancy. How do we respond to this new situation? Our work to protect life is just beginning. Abortion cheerleaders are determined to make Illinois the destination point for the Midwest. Proverbs 24:11 exhorts us to “deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.” We MUST respond with the love and compassion of Jesus Christ to rescue innocent children and their mothers.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9d878ae9-200a-466e-af6d-2a7b578371d0/aff84c7b-e054-4ac4-bc37-b858f28c150c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/kseUyMonQRL4fZjRCGo9iE198002023-04-24T22:38:47.853ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rFa5mixDHboeAuYRqqjeTJhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5f6c97b1-9923-4b5d-a2d7-437abc7e8f42.jpgOnly Foolish People Who Say Pro-Life Isn't Pro-ChildTo the mushy Christians who say claim that pro-lifers are not doing enough for moms and children, saying that we aren't pro-child: you’re WRONG.

This "your not pro-child" accusation is of the devil. It is used by feminist who are trying to discredit the good work of pro-family organizations pro-life organizations. You won't see them at abortion clinics praying or counseling Scripture tells us to rescue those stumbling towards death. It is absolutely necessary and sufficient to be pro-life.

The effort puts parental rights squarely in the crosshairs. This executive order represents all-out war being declared by Biden on the traditional family, biological reality and biblical sexual norms, according to critics and analysts. It comes as inflation surges, supply chains collapse, millions of illegal immigrants pour across the open Southern border, and social tensions reach alarming levels.

His landmark book has been lauded by cultural critics from Rod Dreher to Ben Shapiro to Al Mohler. IFI was blessed too by Derek Buikema, lead pastor at Orland Park Christian Reformed Church in Orland Park, Illinois who conducted the interview for us. In this first four-minute segment, Pastor Buikema asks Prof. Trueman how America got to this place of cultural confusion and disorder. Trueman begins by examining the statement, “I’m a woman trapped in a man’s body,” which Prof. Trueman argues reveals how “feelings have been granted authority. … even over the evidence of our own bodies.” Prof. Trueman argues that both philosophical trends from 18th Century as well as contemporary sitcoms reinforce and propagate the belief that feelings define who we are. In addition to intellectual trends, Prof. Trueman discusses “material” trends that have contributed to the ascendancy of instability, confusion, and chaos, over stability and order. Those trends include mobility and the manipulation of the human body. IFI strongly recommends watching the interview with Prof. Trueman and forming small groups to study either The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self or its more concise and companion book Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/061a56ff-5a8e-4445-907d-26ab70702f31/01e35427-3c51-401e-83a9-78bbfe441946-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/1KH9wqsdFkSeYB5KXuixMt234002023-04-24T22:39:48.957ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/24J6nP2XduUrurBqn9aXgkhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/edde938f-335a-455b-bcc7-c56c4103f45a.jpgDr. Francis Testifies For Subcommittee Hearing on The Reversal of Roe v.

Dr. Trueman’s recent book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution brought Dr. Trueman to public consciousness in a way rarely experienced by serious Christian scholars. The book and its subsequent, more concise companion book, Strange New World: How Thinkers and Activists Redefined Identity and Sparked the Sexual Revolution, explore how we have arrived at this strange cultural moment in which people claim they are trapped in the wrong-sexed body. In this second part of Pastor Buikema’s interview, Dr. Trueman confirms the sense many people have that we truly are living in “unprecedented times,” and explores the reasons why this historical moment is unprecedented. He examines the absence of any transcendent justification for morality upon which a stable social order depends and the destabilizing effects of technology.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/53d6b6ab-7643-4bf8-8c90-0c92dcd0042a/674277fe-8797-4f26-bfa1-80fb8fd5ea42-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/bmsGjWrSW2kgRQm3fF7rsA178002023-04-24T22:40:08.968ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6x9FNvt6xaeRfEn5sBTJkShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7190629c-b438-45e5-88af-e1490041185e.jpgThe Word Games That Control AmericaControlling words allows you to control culture.

Because the culture is so unstable in these times, the places that show a strong sense of community have the potential to have a powerful influence on the culture. Just like the 2nd century, the Church has a great opportunity to have a strong influence on the culture, but this opportunity comes with sacrifice.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/33015c68-8a4c-4dcf-85b0-01eb5c5f3059/8ac5276b-086b-4879-ad22-70df40620e19-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7iiEqKmqkgXo1SSpos69tT106002023-04-24T22:40:34.090ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uxsMuQcZoQ7rKXJ1di7XfUhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d562aed8-759d-453b-aaef-9d52920608fb.jpg"We will take that baby..." Says Coach Jim HarbaughFormer Chicago Bear Quarterback Jim Harbaugh is currently the head coach of the Michigan Wolverines. In an interview with ESPN’s Gene Wojciechowski he said “the abortion issue is one that’s so big that it needs to be talked about.” Harbaugh went on to say that he tells his players and staff that he and his wife would raise their baby that is a result of an unplanned pregnancy. At a pro-life fundraising event in mid-July he told the crowd "I believe in having the courage to let the unborn be born. I love life. I believe in having a loving care and respect for life and death.

In Illinois, gender confusion strategies are seen in grades as young as kindergarten. It is vital these children are taken out of these indoctrination camps as soon as possible. Children deserve to receive quality education that teaches them to be productive members of society, and children deserve to receive Christian education that teaches them to know and love God.

In answer, Dr. Trueman emphasizes that the root problem must be identified and acknowledged before a response takes place. The Church needs to recognize how complicit it has been with the culture. Dr. Trueman goes on to state that the Church, in its practical existence, must exemplify what it means to live a God-honoring way.

To do this properly, Dr. Trueman stresses the importance of setting the boundary for what it means to be a human being that is made in the image of God. Dr. Trueman notes that when approaching the topic of sex, it is vitally important not to use sexual identity terms but to instead focus on sexual activity.

Faithful exegesis of a passage and proper application of that passage is vitally important.

Dr. Trueman notes that historically and biblically, sex has always been associated with an action or activity. In modern times, people are starting to identify and define themselves based on their desires. Dr. Trueman emphasizes that sex is an activity, not an identity.

The ideas that “The real me is my feelings, and my ability to express those feelings outwardly makes me an authentic person,” are central features of expressive individualism, the most extreme form of which is “transgenderism.” Dr. Trueman urges Christians to acknowledge what expressive individualism gets right as well as to acknowledge the serious dangers posed by not grounding our feelings in external realities and truths.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/42785cae-0739-4ecc-8cd0-e9b12f6dfdf1/1922758e-b4c2-4cf9-ae3e-aaf1ca5fd0bb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/9d4M423fYyALZQ4baPfWJn93002023-04-24T22:44:31.738ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vVjfbS82ChGMAWnUieJVTPhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f54d07bc-3758-424c-a53a-bb97b984f905.jpgDr. Carl Trueman: What is Expressive Individualism?In this segment with moderator Pastor Derek Buikema, Dr. Carl Trueman addresses the question of expressive individualism. Trueman delves into the topic of expressive individualism, which believes that one’s true, core identity is determined by one’s feelings and desires. In an extreme case, this is expressed in transgenderism. While Trueman acknowledges that feelings and emotions are core to what it means to be human, Christians need to understand that one’s identity does not come from those feelings and emotions. True identity is determined by God.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f24aaf41-3fc7-437f-90b9-9b69782267b1/85caf351-3449-4d45-a588-cfd9e48b547f-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vVjfbS82ChGMAWnUieJVTP171002023-04-24T22:44:34.503ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/w8Hbfdiv2AZjav8vwvWgDPhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ec56d656-9f20-48ab-9e24-96cb82e97d9d.jpgLeftists Promote Child ExploitationBy now many have heard that the high-end fashion company Balenciaga was forced by public pressure to pull and apologize for its recent ad campaign featuring preschool children holding teddy bears wearing what looks to average Americans like bondage paraphernalia. In one photo, a child is holding bondage teddy while standing on a sofa in front of which is a coffee table filled with champagne flutes. In the next photo that same child is lying down on the white sofa with her (or his) head on a pink shag pillow. In another photo, a little girl holding another strapped-up teddy is standing on a little girl’s bed. Once in a while, the boundary-free libertines among us get ahead of their skies just a bit and are forced to slow down: “Give the rubes, deplorables, and right-wing Christian extremists a few minutes to absorb cross-dressing men gyrating in front of toddlers before you confront them with images of children with bondage paraphernalia. In due time, my pretties, in due time.” For more on the story, watch, listen and share Tucker Carlson’s analysis with your friends and family:https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f405be00-7aa8-4544-ac23-3f176fa3eb6d/61369624-50f5-453a-a996-a5b6c37ec24a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/w8Hbfdiv2AZjav8vwvWgDP667002023-04-24T22:59:07.595ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/fw4HBsBxb9VeYodGfT4HRmhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/8211f2c8-a334-4d79-aac0-7bd58a14ca1d.jpgDr. Erwin Lutzer: We Will Not BowDr. Erwin W. Lutzer was the keynote speaker for IFI's 2021 Annual Banquet. Dr. Lutzer has been an outspoken champion for pro-family and pro-life issues, and his award-winning books have not shied away from what some would call controversial. Some of our favorite include The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, When a Nation Forgets God, The Church in Babylon and his most recent, We Will Not Remain Silent. And we cannot overlook the Christian Bookseller’s Gold Medallion Award winner, Hitler’s Cross. Dr. Lutzer served as the Senior Pastor of The Moody Church for 36 years. He continues to share the good news of the Gospel and how it relates to current cultural issues on radio programs and podcasts in more than 1,000 outlets in the United States and around the world.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/75928b98-4094-4678-9416-9623ded5975a/026dc191-0a6f-4c92-bf16-52bcf12ba06d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/fw4HBsBxb9VeYodGfT4HRm3890002023-04-24T22:52:17.090ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/biCXhtDe3mAMiz6VLCbgBohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/cf63055d-dcd5-4013-bf42-a27c29173199.jpgThe Influence of Entertainment Part 2: Neural PathwaysMedia isn't neutral, and entertainment is influential.

The SNSC’s primary goal is to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The secondary mission of the SNSC is to inform the public and media regarding the constitutionality of such expressions of religious faith in the public square. In 2008, the SNSC made history when the Illinois Sec. of State’s office granted a permit to the group, allowing a Nativity Scene to go on display in the Capitol for the first time in state history. Since 2008, 40 other states have followed Illinois’ lead. The crèche will stand in the center of the Illinois Rotunda, in accordance with the U.S. Constitution which provides for such religious expression in the public square–as long as such displays are privately-funded and temporary in nature.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/35c86d3a-6e69-4dda-b502-28fafcb909f3/26b7c09b-db7f-4883-899d-b9a717164f75-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7DctT2dKkLykNhwszb4FGP141002023-04-24T22:44:55.090ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/wYmfYtBPWY3FhiubsSFD7Bhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/844abdf0-7c90-4048-ab1e-8ec7b21c72dc.jpgInvasion on the Southern BorderMassive caravans of thousands of illegal migrants are crossing the border every day into West Texas.

The Sorbos are a different kind of “power couple” — they are, in our opinion, an amazing Christian husband and wife team who, despite being blacklisted by Hollywood, have been very outspoken about abortion, public school indoctrination, illegal immigration, fatherlessness and a host of other social issues.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/73420f05-361b-4b5b-abb9-80fffc1f85d7/52e1805f-bb74-4919-add6-04e72abe0a1d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/feuj9tR65ZzW8Tp7Yhhotz3253002023-04-24T23:10:21.055ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/miTzNUdbWh9Xmrv3pj29wMhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/984e131e-7d01-4e65-bef4-5af91b726c57.jpgRev.

The bill’s synopsis states that a parent commits “parental bullying” “when he or she knowingly and with the intent to discipline, embarrass, or alter the behavior of the minor, transmits any verbal or visual message that the parent or legal guardian reasonably believes would coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to the minor.” It’s beyond understanding that lawmakers are now attempting to put an end to a parent’s role to attempt to change bad behavior in their child. If that’s not ridiculous enough, if found guilty, a fine could be imposed upon the parent that would be held in escrow and given to the minor when he/she turned 18. Talk about an incentive for kids to take their parents to court for doing their job!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/df9ee4f2-da69-48f0-ab10-bfa08a7ce1a3/42d1ced9-f2c9-4ab9-83b1-084bebb0e347-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/tBAgyph3bKaedZjrJQ1oQK936002023-04-24T23:06:15.235ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hRCjJCUypnpemCfGj6jTNmhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/a3568f37-f877-49ac-9fdc-d74965b67a32.jpgDanville Abortion Mill Press ConferenceMembers of the Illinois Freedom Caucus,  local pastors, pro-life advocates and dozens of local citizens gathered in front of the old Dillman Eye Clinic on North Logan Avenue in Danville, Illinois at noon on Monday, March 27th to protest the planned opening of an abortion facility.

It’s to deny the sky is blue, is to say that men and women are the same,” Gaines said. “We’re equal, but we’re not the same … I feel like we’re in this battle of really spiritual warfare. It’s no longer good or bad or right or wrong. This is like moral versus evil.” Gaines has become an outspoken critic of the Joe Biden administration's interpretation of Title IX to ban discrimination based on gender identity instead of solely sex. She has also testified in front of various state legislative committee's to stop this woke agenda to erase biological women and their sports.

Planned Parenthood of Illinois wants to weaponize the government against pro-life advocates and claim they mislead clients. Pregnancy care centers do not engage in “deceptive practices” but rather vital life-giving work. The people at these centers minister to needy, vulnerable women and children and are supported by people of faith across the state who want to be a blessing.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8b4540d2-0e64-4703-836e-1c2f7592840c/948941d2-b043-4887-bc54-37d36f55c896-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ict85mbHAxB5vJdtRePBcs3277002023-04-24T23:20:50.649ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uLMMFZErZQZojnmEVi7YY2https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ace1c6b5-3d74-497b-9aa0-9ee586305fa2.jpgThe Push to Limit "Choice" to Abortion in IllinoisThe Push to Limit "Choice" to Abortion in Illinoishttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e900d378-eae3-47b5-9ad2-5744ad770a31/d450e2bd-eb70-4f6c-a9b1-b422dc6115e8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uLMMFZErZQZojnmEVi7YY2119002023-04-24T23:08:50.012ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/phbg1MRfv4QVpr2FPg2MHZhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/07c016d3-8446-4664-b7a1-ddf7e18db295.jpgSubtle Attacks on Religious FreedomThe first freedom mentioned in the first amendment to our Constitution is freedom of religion.

Peter recently testified in front of an Illinois House committee to highlight the legal and practical flaws of SB 1909 – a bill designed to punish traditional Christian beliefs about the sanctity of human life at pregnancy resource centers (PRCs) throughout Illinois. SB 1909 allows the Attorney General to investigate any PRC and levy fines up to $50,000 against any PRC that the he/she “believes” is engaging in deceptive practices. People of faith believe that human life begins at conception but liberal politicians like our Attorney General disagree. SB 1909 gives him/her authority to prosecute people with these pro-life views. Make no mistake, this is an infringement on the First Amendment rights of those who work and/or volunteer at PRCs and want to save preborn babies and minister to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Specifically, this quashes our right to freely exercise our religiously informed views about what abortion does to mother and baby. These beliefs are shared by the vast majority of orthodox Christians, Jews and Muslims. The state has no business regulating speech it doesn’t like.

It is an unalienable right given to us by Almighty God, who expects us to be good stewards of this gift, not only for ourselves but for posterity and as an example for the world and all those who yearn for true liberty. There is no doubt about it, religious liberty is under attack here at home and around the world. The rights to pray, worship freely, and take our religiously informed views into the public square without fear of persecution or harassment are being diminished. IFI's Special Forum on this topic featured Ambassador Sam Brownback, who serves as co-chair of the International Religious Freedom (IRF) Summit and chairman of the National Committee for Religious Freedom. He challenges us to get candidates for office to take a pledge for religious liberty and start organizing in areas of state where the voters share our values but don't normally vote..

It's time for us to be there for him and stop the political persecution of this man of God. He faces a mandatory minimum of 5 years in prison and bail has been set at $75,000. An Illinois judge has already ruled there was not enough evidence for this 70 year old American hero to be a witness in this case and now a Georgia DA has made him a defendant, fighting for his freedom and our own.

You may go to www.illinoisfamily.org/contribute and designate your tax deductible donation to the "Pastor Lee Legal Defense Fund." Here are some details from his GiveSendGo Page: America's Chaplain, Steve Lee has been there for America in our darkest days, including serving as the Ground Zero Chaplain on 9/11 along with service at Columbine, Hurricane Katrina, Mandalay Bay and many more incidents of national significance. Now it's time for us to be there for him and stop this political persecution. The law firm of Shestokas and Associates represents Chaplain Lee. In November of 2022, David Shestokas won a Kendall County, Illinois court ruling that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis failed to provide evidence that Chaplain Lee was a witness in the Georgia case. The Illinois Judge denied Willis’ effort to compel Reverend Lee to appear in Georgia. The judge even gave Willis 30 days to provide evidence as to Rev. Lee’s involvement and she did not. Without further contact with the Illinois court, Rev. Lee or his counsel, on August 14, 2023, Willis indicted Chaplain Lee of a crime that has a mandatory minimum penalty of 5 years in a Georgia state prison. Please help Chaplain Lee, an American hero, out of gratitude for his lifetime of service in law enforcement and ministry and help him defend against this unjust indictment and potential incarceration. There are five rights in the First Amendment: religion, speech, press, assembly and petition the government for redress of grievances The exercise of each of those rights is under attack in Georgia. This fight is not just Chaplain Lee’s. Your rights as an American are under attack as well. Join this fight to participate in the ongoing effort to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e7820483-a7c8-4a49-ae29-bba7be9d2811/37148e64-e81b-4561-87f9-55f0a04668b2-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uA5BWzv7ykSLEJ1NFdcbyi922002023-09-11T06:23:44.328ZPastor LeeSteve LeeChaplain LeeAmerica's ChaplainGround Zero ChaplainYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5bVRHf6K3JpQqidBFqdnKwhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1d5f5c1a-1b49-4961-ab54-7f07ff006c43.jpgGround Zero Chaplain, Steve Lee and Attorney David Shestokas on DineshHear the latest on this conspiracy case, indicting "America's Chaplain" in the Georgia case.

This unique, long form interview focusses in on some of the legal issues at play in the case as well as the faith and spiritual strength of Chaplain Lee, to endure this spiritual and legal battle. Pastor Lee was indicted essentially for knocking on doors and being on phone calls and as his Attorney David Shestokas said in the interview, "If this case is successful in any way, shape or form, the First Amendment rights of all Americans will either be diminished or destroyed."

Over the summer, 16-year-old Abbigail Wheeler spoke out about a foolish policy adopted by the YMCA which forced her and other women to share a locker room with biological males. She was kicked off her swim team after she complained about it. Kaitlynn Wheeler, a swimmer at the University of Kentucky and a teammate of Riley Gaines, encountered a nude biological male in the women’s locker room who calls himself “Lea” Thomas. Ranked only in the top 400 swimmers as a male, Thomas beat out Kaitlynn, Riley, and other female Olympians and world record holders.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f393b215-c7e1-4279-a362-a4a2e597c851/ce0aad3c-4a34-4f68-bff8-1ebf0089a309-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/w5w7QkPqwMWstVXPtHxnAz122002023-11-03T20:23:46.771ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rNZkyRrDirzjzuEdfCfjfVhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/78874beb-ab81-425e-8d56-fb2ff65ea763.jpgIFI's 2023 "Voice of Truth" AwardThrough his work with Love Life, Juan Elias-Riesco is bringing the hope of the Gospel and the help of the local church to abortion clinics and men and women who have been affected by abortion in the city of Chicago.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d10403eb-e8cb-43c2-bfe0-f0388ef4f319/78aa9b1e-b1c9-4d9c-91cf-6ec152732e5d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/rNZkyRrDirzjzuEdfCfjfV57002023-11-03T20:23:54.594ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/fkuto6ZJ87GorbE8qxtgUMhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/3725f3e7-dea9-4083-8da2-6fa25cfd9e67.jpgMusic by Eliana Hartian and Eric C.

Eric’s sense of humor has allowed him to contribute his creative genius and voice to various VeggieTales productions and a long list of children’s books... His sense of humor is in no way limited to kids’ spaces but rather a feature of both his writing and his speaking, bringing levity to even the most intense topics and conversations. "Letter to The American Church" is Eric’s most recent book, functioning as a clarion call to believers across the nation not to repeat the mistakes of German Christians during the rise of the Third Reich. As informed by the extensive research he conducted while writing Bonhoeffer, Eric brings to this new book his expertise on the cultural and spiritual mood of 1930s Germany, which largely made possible Hitler’s rise and the genocide of millions. In the face of a darkening and confused culture, Eric Metaxas makes a career out of bringing both encouragement and a challenge to believers. He calls for Christians of conviction to stand firm, speak the truth, and do so with the hope that comes from our faith in the gospel. Eric is a happy warrior for the application of a Christian worldview to every aspect of our lives.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/55ffafac-6298-48c0-a9f6-91fa829a9116/6bfbceab-50de-4881-ad08-195c0f9cd3c5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/bBVYXUP1SoFafzGG6eVDhb4502002023-11-09T16:24:26.371ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/onL5i2LxuprYVnapJuoPQNhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c2350a1a-82a4-43bc-9f5c-b02abe043b84.jpgDr Mark Zumhagen: How Did We Get Here And How Do We Get OutA brief historical and philosophical analysis of the role of science and medicine in the current times. *This lecture is from the 2021 Live Trinity Health Freedom Expohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b532d4ce-6a20-4e19-a494-89de02530b5a/57d18c67-6845-4564-b636-4f92effee828-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/onL5i2LxuprYVnapJuoPQN3258002023-11-22T20:24:57.558ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/bPKzUdr3biHCRdnhi8G9Dkhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/324efe17-dcc2-4abb-806e-bc83bbc0362d.jpgA Conversation with Eric MetaxasA Conversation with Eric Metaxashttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/57a63424-a881-41ce-a7df-9f8e1a75e165/0a81caf7-3561-45e3-91e5-c6cac531ca0b-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/bPKzUdr3biHCRdnhi8G9Dk615002023-12-02T16:45:31.919ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/bpHVSvevsEWHJewiPL7zjChttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e2c117d2-2602-41ae-afb8-e796aba9c55f.jpgHomeschooling Enable Students to ThriveHomeschooling Enable Students to Thrivehttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/544b5535-f8d4-4c14-bfcb-ba3b4a3ff42c/d5f4c167-1e22-4bcb-97c5-a8e36d6d7714-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/bpHVSvevsEWHJewiPL7zjC453002023-12-15T15:28:26.903ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/g4eivuAq5TCtbSJR8yrEakhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4ddcf170-7f78-43db-b412-51b4d8efa37f.jpgRacial Segregation at Evanston HSUnder the guise of closing the “achievement gap” between students of European ancestry and those of African and Latino heritage, victims of a government school in Illinois are being put into classes segregated by race.

The relationship between high potency TCH in today's marijuana and psychiatric disorders is becoming painfully evident.

This proposal would amend the Abused and Neglected Child Reporting Act by criminalizing any parent who would deny their child “access to necessary medical care, including, but not limited to, primary care services, abortion services, or gender-affirming services.” Laura Ingraham calls attention to this usurpation of parental rights by interviewing Jeannette Cooper, a Chicago resident and mother who lost custody of her daughter in 2019 for asking questions rather than affirming her child’s “gender identity.” Take ACTION: Send a message to your state representative demanding that this godless usurpation of parental authority be quashed.

Then we shouldn't be treating these little human beings like this." ~Allie Beth Stuckey There has been a lot of media buzz about in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in the wake of a recent Alabama state supreme court ruling which declares that frozen human embryos are human beings and are entitled to civil rights protections. Now, there is no doubt that IVF has been a blessing to many women who have had fertility problems. Thanks to this wonderful medical technology there have been more than one million babies born in the U.S. using IVF – that’s approximately 60K babies born annually. We celebrate these precious lives! However, as Allie Beth Stuckey points out in this short video segment, Christians must pause to think deeply about the downside to IVF treatments. If we believe that life begins at conception, and we know that an embryo is the initial stage of life, we should be concerned at how the corporate media is spinning this issue. After all, each one of us started our lives as an embryo. The callous disregard of frozen human embryos is a pro-life issue that we should care about.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e53565d9-5ccc-4163-8a2a-891a3f2ed629/829f7b09-36f0-4a75-8e84-15cc8e7ff3e2-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uiBupcXMgs67YKQX2LKS6F386002024-02-27T13:58:03.711ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6QoXAvMFWEUv5Ar55S1moxhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f99c5fd1-1c0b-4ad7-869c-6a59d7870f72.jpgCome to Illinois Family Institute's 2024 Worldview Conference!March 2, 2024.

W. Jackson Rejects WokeismBishop E.W. Jackson is a national conservative evangelical leader who argues that America's crises are the result of departure from faith in God and the Judeo-Christian principles which founded America. While the Apostles of Wokeism have ridiculed evangelical patriotism as "Christian nationalism," Jackson's response is, "Loving our country as a gift from God is not about hating other people or nations. It is about being good stewards of the wonderful gift of liberty we have been given and wanting to preserve it."https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5d5de8ae-a55f-411c-a780-6e9508b7310f/86046b68-3f32-452e-bca5-b3b4b8746f7b-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/cwGFuSCP1YmjcY5Sh3qRna155002024-03-08T21:57:44.632ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rLPLqhDusqiCS3Znxcrf93https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/25faf0f6-22a4-4542-82ca-9867986cf6d2.jpgJim Jordan's Opening Remarks on Hearing on Weaponized Big GovernmentJim Jordan's Opening Remarks on Hearing on Weaponized Big Governmenthttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d0b6a10e-51f3-4374-b10d-9efa995a3d82/7f18d41e-68eb-4f14-9a80-850c98a9c4cb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/rLPLqhDusqiCS3Znxcrf93355002024-03-13T13:58:01.894ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5QftbLwnrGbr4XSWNaDymzhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/caf327c1-1180-43d2-bc3b-b88450cfa51e.jpgDr. Jordan Peterson: Big Government Collusion & WeaponizationDr. Jordan Peterson: Big Government Collusion & Weaponizationhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/27212c19-831d-4967-913a-95dca370e0c1/a9bd47b4-ee6c-43ef-9c00-7c2539253f23-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/5QftbLwnrGbr4XSWNaDymz549002024-03-13T13:58:19.529ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/xqdcJNgS7Y6CScNRchdqVchttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/8f9cffe6-782e-4f34-8862-c5505b531d18.jpgJeremy Tedesco: Weaponization of the Federal Government Against Christian GroupsOn March 6, the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released documents that show that the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network colluded with Big Banks to monitor their customers to identify domestic threats and shared a list of “hate groups” published by the hyper-partisan Institute for Strategic Dialogue to help them do so.

The belief that legal immigrants pose a major risk of committing crimes in the U.S. has risen from 19% to 32% since 2017. Republican concern has fueled much of this shift, with 41% of Republicans now viewing legal immigration as a major risk for crime, up from 20% in 2017. But perhaps most alarming are the reports of sex predators among those migrants that are now freely roaming various neighbors in the United States. According to this Fox News report by Bill Melugin who was able to capture the work of an elite ICE team’s takedown of five alleged illegal immigrant criminals in Boston -- four of whom are accused child rapists.

At the age of 12, he became an alcoholic as a means of coping with his family situation. His life spiraled downhill. At the age of 29, and by the grace of God, he gave his life to Jesus Christ, alone and in an alcohol treatment facility, and was completely healed and delivered from drugs and alcohol. In 2008, following a 50-city speaking tour through eight countries of the former Soviet Union, he and his wife moved into the inner-city of Springfield, Massachusetts, to launch a seven-year campaign to create a model for re-Christianizing America’s “post-Christian” cities. That unique inner-city mission is now thriving under local leadership and they are working to recreate the model in other cities. Scott is married to Anne and has four adult children.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/33a2c62b-9ec9-4f31-98bd-e1994766284e/379b8baa-db49-489f-8eba-24883c83c9dc-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7nPzHfpUZ9AqURTAuwhtE73048002024-03-30T16:58:35.802ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/eL5Ph5idro5DcYwWkqqz6Bhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/88acd92b-8ed8-4139-b0d0-1b018ed01425.jpgKenna Rose: Biblically Masculine Men WantedKenna Rose: Biblically Masculine Men Wantedhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6f6e7ef2-4ff1-416e-b156-d1f1aa97b189/4c2ffd1d-7bbc-46b9-8740-37a5688bee21-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/eL5Ph5idro5DcYwWkqqz6B582002024-04-01T01:57:54.262ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7VKXor2FJ2urQtBpncXiazhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb84e69c-b87a-4083-a6a2-0de9dc6f28c7.jpgCO2 is Beneficial for the Earth!Contrary to what the climate alarmists say, greenhouse gases are not destroying our earth. Some 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries agree that the roughly 70 percent increase in CO2 that has entered the atmosphere over the past several decades has helped the planet rather than hurt it. In this short video clip, please listen to Alex Newman and then Patrick Moore summarize why we should be skeptical of those who claim that CO2 from fossil fuel is going to destroy our earth. Instead of being shunned like the plague, the ongoing rise in CO2 should be welcomed with open arms.

We must understand why this issue is so problematic and be ready to give an answer to those who are unaware or deceived. We must educate ourselves and speak out now. Physician-assisted suicide invites abuse and fosters a slippery slope that devalues human life. Once we begin devaluing life to alleviate suffering, we will find ourselves devaluing life for more and more reasons. Taking human life is not a legitimate or moral way to deal with the challenges and illnesses that God has allowed us to be presented with. Physician-assisted suicide is never necessary and always ends a unique and valuable human life.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6d6666ee-519b-4c1a-9e24-9173902050a6/ab1c0256-b5bd-467d-9990-74c2f85ae7ad-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/evwT1BL717J1qWz6T5392u2892002024-05-12T20:03:47.205ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rq1fhB1A5fFQ2HAC9xvHUdhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f0c3c3bf-ed85-449c-a593-3442060de294.jpgPatrick Kenneally: The Dangers of Cannabis Use & LegalizationThe topic of marijuana and the terrible effects it has/had on our families and communities should be of prime importance to everyone, no matter their age or religious affiliation.

The Church of England under King James I was persecuting anyone and everyone who did not recognize its absolute civil and spiritual authority.” The first Pilgrims were Christian rebels, folks. “Those who challenged [King James’] ecclesiastical authority and those who believed strongly in freedom of worship were hunted down, imprisoned, and sometimes executed for their beliefs” in England in the 1600s..." https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c513e334-502a-4cb7-b003-381e8cf42958/ec9a5ce6-c667-4035-95c4-1abc6b351788-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/qkuhefJRH2kDnhqBAS8viS1477002024-11-29T13:47:48.498ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/34hpU8hpHTiv5wqaiNz3FUhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7ac008d5-af80-46a3-bab3-3ce02e4a1f6a.jpgPastor Holmes: Keep Praying, Stay EngagedPastor Holmes: Keep Praying, Stay Engagedhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/10a79f77-3d78-48cf-b473-d520f03cf13a/d5507e45-6599-41a4-9067-f70515b1bc60-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/34hpU8hpHTiv5wqaiNz3FU250002024-12-02T21:14:06.465ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/1dQyakSTDbUzX9DaEg21sGhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/8c491606-88eb-40ff-bdec-153af74e3dc3.jpgCOVID LiesThe spread of misinformation and lies about COVID-19 has been a significant issue during the global health crisis. Here are some of the notable false claims and misconceptions: Lie #1 We are facing a novel respiratory pathogen that scientists have no idea how to handle. Lie #2 This pathogen has caused a pandemic that will cause 5% of Americans to die. Lie #3 No one has any natural immunity to SARS COV2 because this is a completely novel virus. Lie #4 This virus emerged by chance through the animal kingdom and not through human engineering. Lie #5 Lockdowns are necessary so that people can survive this pandemic. Lie #6 SARS COV2 can be transmitted from one person to another person without any sign of illness (asymptomatically). Lie #7 Masks put on faces will protect people from transmitting this respiratory virus and cause no harm to people. Lie #8 Testing everyone with the PCR test as often as possible will allow us to separate the ill from the healthy. Lie #9 We have no effective treatment for COVID19. Lie #10 Everyone is at equal risk for COVID19. Lie #11 The C-19 shot is a “Vaccine” Lie #12 Vaccines will prevent COVID19, the transmission of COVID19, and are needed for all people. The way to end the pandemic is through vaccines. This misinformation has not only contributed to public confusion and mistrust but has had real-world consequences, including reluctance to follow public health guidelines, decreased vaccination rates, and higher morbidity and mortality due to the virus. Addressing these lies requires ongoing public health communication, education, and transparency about the scientific process and its limitations.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/01cad917-7d29-4e40-a95c-ee688e1a18a4/aea5a88f-a21e-4047-a776-a227b9512cb8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/1dQyakSTDbUzX9DaEg21sG2342542024-12-03T20:14:44.367ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vBT6NivTjdbmBye3bzMWafhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4c27b3be-2285-4481-8e54-4687e6a6a9e0.jpgVaccinated America: A System With No BrakesThe vaccine system faces numerous challenges, from logistical and scientific to ethical and trust-related issues.

According to the latest data, auto insurance rates have increased by nearly 26% for full coverage since the start of the pandemic, and the trend is expected to continue into 2025. Various media outlets have reported this trend, attributing the spike to several different factors, including inflation, supply chain disruptions, and natural disasters contributing to this trend. Some even acknowledge that increased accident rates, which lead to higher claims, are also a factor in increased rates. What they are not telling us is why we are seeing an increase in traffic accidents. We are simply being told that people are just driving less safely post-COVID. The media's explanations ignore the obvious. Years ago, when we were actively opposing the legalization of so-called "recreational" marijuana in Illinois, we warned people that having more stoned/buzzed/inebriated drivers on the road will inevitably lead to more traffic accidents. Our warnings were based on what we were learning from other states that had already legalized pot, specifically Colorado. Legal weed would mean an increase in traffic accidents.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32ecd5f7-8ecc-416c-97ee-98960fb398d2/b77cabb4-8bcc-443d-bed1-21e17aefe780-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7hJmHuDShFe4LFjYq8Sfmj128002025-01-01T18:13:58.754ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/bJWUgcSPyNMtfJ38Qf2Qr4https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/02fbda99-f128-4fee-a267-4775da9547fb.jpgDr Ben German On Pro Suicide LegislationThe Illinois General Assembly is considering pro-suicide legislation.

The study, which analyzed data from over 13.5 million Ontario residents between 2006 and 2022, found that the number of new schizophrenia cases associated with cannabis use disorder increased from 4% to 10% after legalization. According to a report in U.S. News & World Report: "When they analyzed Ontario health records from 106,994 people diagnosed with CUD during a hospital or emergency room visit between 2006 and 2021, researchers found: -3.5% of people with CUD died within five years of treatment, compared to 0.6% of a similar group of people without CUD. -CUD patients still had a 2.8 times higher risk of death than the general population even after other risk factors like mental illness, heart disease, cancer and other substance use were considered. -Young adults aged 25 to 44 faced the highest risk of premature death. The article goes on to report: The same team also looked at how Canada's 2018 legalization of cannabis affected rates of psychosis and schizophrenia. Researchers looked at three periods: 2006-2015 (before cannabis legalization); 2015-2018 (amid widening use of medical and non-medical cannabis); and 2018-2022 (after legalization). While the overall rate of schizophrenia remained stable, researchers found: -The percentage of cases linked to CUD jumped from 3.7% to 10.3% after legalization. -The rate of psychosis (without schizophrenia) nearly doubled. -Young adults aged 19 to 24 were most affected. “This is a period of the life span when the brain is still developing and still vulnerable to the effects of cannabis,” Jodi Gilman, an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School who wrote a commentary about the study, told The Ti...https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2e8eb4fb-130a-4d47-a102-6895218bf14e/4676cf51-4b2d-466d-aeb1-7a677b944005-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6Ks1NgLPtnKQdQrXNGBie1245002025-02-10T02:07:24.940ZmarijuanapotweedSchizophreniacannabis use disorderYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/auqnRxcTRosoaWBJJwPUYYhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/88be0459-ffd1-4ce0-a788-7bc94a5b736d.jpgDr Stephen Smart "pro suicide legislation puts your life at risk"State Lawmakers are Considering Pro-Suicide Legislation.

He warned committee members that suicide contagion is a very real issue that they should consider before passing this legislation. Suicide contagion refers to the phenomenon where exposure to suicide or suicidal behavior increases the likelihood of suicidal thoughts or actions in others, particularly those who are vulnerable. Research shows it’s most common among teens and young adults, where clusters of suicides can emerge in communities or schools after a single event. Social media can accelerate this by spreading news fast and unfiltered, sometimes creating echo chambers of despair.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/000f7b1d-1a0f-402d-8ac1-bf8258d97db8/ed858c48-ed0f-4f2a-9905-c1ebe66ce378-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/11r7YyYo3AkimmnEjNarJG349002025-02-24T21:27:59.768Zassisted-suicideYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/gTVG8pbemKXVn9JwV6HZkbhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/cce2b83f-3522-49a8-8472-632ba571ab6f.jpgA Doctors Perspective on Pro-Suicide LegislationA Doctors Perspective on Pro-Suicide Legislationhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/80b919d7-ed22-48a4-8572-dfdf4483f7b4/6715e74a-01f4-4c0a-920b-3d58638107ee-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/gTVG8pbemKXVn9JwV6HZkb200012025-02-28T15:27:51.914ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/8bPvDWQhWjm2vSfBRj64nBhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e80d325c-94ee-4d78-8049-6377cf83db01.jpgA Doctors Perspective on Pro Suicide LegislationA Doctors Perspective on Pro Suicide Legislationhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3a32b02c-fcdd-4b66-bf8e-3ba36393f399/d25d4b9c-c555-401d-b0fc-55af6bf4234c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8bPvDWQhWjm2vSfBRj64nB200002025-03-01T13:27:53.609ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/35RREAcXjNtHysUFbdwjFahttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bb6f05c5-d011-4710-96f1-3682dd9d3f6d.jpgHospice Doctor Explains His Opposition to Suicide LegislationDr. Kevin Garner, MD is a hospice & palliative medicine internist in Granite City and has over 35 years of experience in the medical field.

In their conversation, Charlie Kirk pointedly asked Governor Newsom if he would ban biological men from competing in women’s sports. Newsom’s answer? “I think it’s an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that… I completely align with you, and we’ve got to own that. It is an issue of fairness and I think Democrats have lost that.” On the surface, this declaration from a radical Governor like Newsom might appear at first to be a win for the conservative movement. However, Sophia Lorey, the Outreach Director for California Family Council, and Riley Gaines, host of the Gaines for Girls podcast and former NCAA swim athlete, appeared on Fox News Channel with Trace Gallagher to discuss why conservatives need to be hesitant to welcome Newsom into the fold.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bda00b1c-7d60-4866-82c9-9d05c4ace9ad/d4364d0f-7fb6-43bb-b74e-7c027680f92e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/pq7uNXjSiUd9khK9qG6Thr276002025-03-12T19:27:57.172ZRiley GainesTrace GallagherSophia LoreyWomen's SportsYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6E5GtmZPJjo3W1vgdooU2Khttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/3520049e-97b8-4299-a4ff-81b26150586a.jpgTwisting Truth & Demonizing Guardians of ChildrenLGBTQIA cheerleader and far left-wing Chicago Democrat Kelly Cassidy took to the Illinois House floor on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 to publicly twist the truth by blaming conservatives for wanting to defend children from the trans agenda. Scripture warns: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" ~Isaiah 5:20~ Romans 1:28-32 is also instructive: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [e]unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them."https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2dceda07-6382-48ba-a8e5-b4523bc13045/fd246a15-3c76-48b6-b86c-54f26d682379-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6E5GtmZPJjo3W1vgdooU2K397002025-03-12T21:28:02.189ZKelly CassidyYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/2atxW77raRmym4xD6YRCJohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7ce89973-6366-4ecb-b028-e7dd1d046746.jpgAsk Lawmakers to Vote NO on HB 2827HB 2827 would heavily regulate homeschooling families in the state of Illinois.

Instead, it’s about tracking and regulating every single family and school that is not a government public school. That’s why the original version of this bill, which is nearly identical in substance to the amended version, together with the amendment generated a historic 60,000+ witness slips in opposition, versus about 1,000 in support as of March 18. That is a record for the highest number of witness slips filed against a bill since at least 2011. Many, if not most of the mere 1,000 in support appear to be opponents of the bill who filed incorrectly under the confusing slipping system. There are two main components of this bill: the regulation of homeschool families, and the regulation of private schools. Both are constitutionally flawed."

His work emphasizes that marriage is not just a private arrangement but a foundational institution that significantly impacts individuals, families, and communities at large. Wilcox's research highlights several key points about marriage and its broader societal benefits. He argues that strong, stable marriages contribute to human flourishing by fostering emotional, financial, and social stability for adults and children alike. His studies show that married individuals tend to report higher levels of happiness, lower rates of loneliness, and greater financial security compared to their unmarried counterparts. For children, being raised in stable, two-parent households is associated with better educational outcomes, reduced likelihood of poverty, and lower risks of emotional and behavioral issues. A central theme in Wilcox's work is the idea that the health of marriage as an institution affects the "common good"—the collective welfare of society. He contends that declining marriage rates and increasing family instability have ripple effects, contributing to social challenges such as rising inequality, "deaths of despair" (e.g., from suicide or substance abuse), and strained public resources. For instance, his research suggests that communities with higher rates of intact families experience lower crime rates and reduced dependence on government assistance, benefiting society as a whole. Wilcox also critiques cultural and policy trends that he believes undermine marriage. He points to elite narratives that downplay the importance of marriage, as well as welfare policies that inadvertently penalize couples for marrying, as factors that weaken family formation, particularly among working-class a...https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7566ea2d-f085-4b88-9231-070d5100dd7e/aabeb609-6769-4805-89e9-4b6f50cb0204-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/fuQVmyPGvGEtdxGhSDoLk12558002025-04-01T00:44:21.402ZBrad WilcoxMarriageYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/tfHz3HpQ5KqDJFW256acs6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/b31d51fc-aa01-4b05-94ab-6e6adc59d115.jpgAssisted Suicide A Symptom of SecularizationAssisted Suicide A Symptom of Secularizationhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dcb4c65e-ac99-4513-beba-d1eb3e3b65ed/bc306994-5d57-4a78-9f80-a1336f92dbee-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/tfHz3HpQ5KqDJFW256acs64959002025-04-02T17:45:41.463ZAssisted-SuicideMark ZumhagenYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/f5CbUqx1xYs8z2cXty3ZkAhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5371c9ee-ff85-49f2-ac71-0506e4060ad0.jpgFamily Structure MattersThere’s a plethora of evidence that children raised by a married mom and dad often do extremely well in measurable ways. Research shows they tend to have lower rates of behavioral issues, better academic outcomes, and stronger emotional resilience. The stability of an intact family can create a consistent environment, with two people splitting the parenting load and modeling teamwork. Children from single-parent homes are more likely to face poverty—about 40% of single-mother households in the U.S. were below the poverty line in recent years, compared to under 10% for married-couple families. Poverty can amplify stress, limit resources, and increase exposure to risky environments, which can feed into crime and substance issues. Academic performance often takes a hit too—studies like those from the National Center for Education Statistics suggest kids with two married parents are more likely to graduate high school and score higher on standardized tests. Political and religious leaders must be bold enough to tell the truth about the importance of marriage and family. Moreover, a return to biblical standards would help today's generation leave a lasting legacy for future generations. That requires preaching the stats loud and clear: kids in married households tend to have better odds—lower poverty (U.S. Census data shows married families at 6% poverty vs. 31% for single-parent ones), less drug use, higher graduation rates. Pair that with a biblical pitch—Genesis 2’s “man and wife as one flesh” or Proverbs 22 on raising kids right—and it’s a potent combo. This will require fervent prayer, dedicated consistency and perseverance. We will need God's help in stirring hearts and minds to these truths.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/720537cc-97d9-4c00-8204-f330484001e4/657677ee-fbce-4191-8d81-3705f803ed0e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/f5CbUqx1xYs8z2cXty3ZkA410002025-04-03T18:43:21.193ZTed DabrowskiDan ProftFamily Structurefatherlessnessbroken familiesYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5Yzefc2ta4PdNhd4cgVbQuhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/b521775f-7af9-4d3f-95dc-438988f5164c.jpgIllinois' Controversial "Homeschool Act" Gets National AttentionIllinois' proposed "Homeschool Act," officially House Bill 2827, has indeed sparked national interest and heated debate as of April 4, 2025. The legislation, introduced in February 2025 by Representatives Terra Costa Howard, Michelle Mussman, and Kelly M. Cassidy, aims to extend government regulations for homeschooling families and private schools in the state. Its core requirement is that families must notify their local school district when they choose to homeschool, submitting a "Homeschool Declaration Form" annually, along with details like the child’s name, birthdate, grade level, and home address, as well as similar information for the homeschool administrator. The bill also allows the Illinois State Board of Education to request educational portfolios—logs of curricular materials and student work samples—at its discretion. Opponents decry this overreach of government authority into private family decisions as absolutely unnecessary. The bill undoubtedly infringes on parental rights and religious freedoms, potentially burdening families with vague, expansive reporting demands. The bill’s passage through the House Education Policy Committee on March 19—by an 8-4 party-line vote—only fueled the fire, especially after thousands rallied at the state capitol, spilling out from committee rooms into the halls. Nationally, the controversy has caught the eye of education policy watchers and parental rights advocates, amplifying Illinois’ fight on platforms like X and YouTube. The debate hinges on a classic tension: balancing state oversight with individual liberty. As the bill heads to the full Illinois House, its outcome could set a precedent—or a warning—for homeschooling laws nationwide.

Col. E. Ray Moore: State Education is UnconstitutionalThe issue of education is sweeping the national conversation. On the state level, Texas and Illinois are considering legislation that creates school voucher programs and restricts homeschoolers freedom and sovereignty. Federally, President Trump created a whirlwind of discussion on the constitutionality and efficacy of the Department of Education. Ultimately, the discussion surrounding education should revolve around parents and families as the sole overseers of their children without the involvement of government, explains E. Ray Moore, the founder and leader of Exodus Mandate, to Alex Newman on The Liberty Report.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32c501cd-a775-49cc-b10c-d14815628270/dbf9efb5-b286-45eb-a2dc-f10bb363deb4-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7gBJg2jCaiLnqT5KbFXeqC17100102025-04-04T19:06:19.052ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6PnxBdvy9DjPcudpHN8zj7https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/95a70a3b-16ee-4894-b384-16ae30d13ce1.jpgChildren are not burdens.Children are not burdens.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2f1aed93-e366-44ad-9c2e-92ea42ca4016/a0294354-f71d-4ecc-a556-95e26aa38726-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6PnxBdvy9DjPcudpHN8zj726002025-04-04T19:43:11.454ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ebAf3Xw3W39ZietKb2d7Vqhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/b7bc3823-c2b7-47b1-a80d-403a51bee5a4.jpgParents are the primary educators of their children.Parents are the primary educators of their children.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6ac157c3-2443-4514-9dba-5cb33ae2ad62/05193b4f-eac5-478a-854a-04e4fede23a5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ebAf3Xw3W39ZietKb2d7Vq59002025-04-07T16:43:11.835ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/2jzGcqxSAjDMk4wCSNAMQChttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/fda0aee8-22eb-4b77-910c-f11feffa2412.jpgStay up to date!Stay up to date!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0ab14a64-c935-4d52-a8e8-d3aaac386ec8/1db0be6d-b2de-474d-a6a3-382409d32132-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2jzGcqxSAjDMk4wCSNAMQC8002025-04-07T21:43:11.459ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/tGAAjsQ9PfmyWiiAif7ukghttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d221141f-6111-428a-ae7f-b2ddcb6e3ff9.jpgOppose HB 2827!Oppose HB 2827!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e051d000-9bf4-483e-a946-d8e347250bbd/6eb8b366-51db-45a5-b901-6176a71314f5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/tGAAjsQ9PfmyWiiAif7ukg71002025-04-08T17:43:12.403ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rqVMD2wnK75QKKqZAwmVh9https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4df3e133-e1b4-47f8-95d4-7d2017bce3bb.jpgReminder!

He argues that men who value marriage are more likely to get married, become fathers, and live with their children, providing more care compared to nonresident fathers. According to his research, married fathers provide significantly more direct care to their children than nonresident fathers, with eight hours of care per week in 2021-2022, up from 6.8 hours two decades ago, compared to just 36 minutes per week for nonresident dads Wilcox is also a proponent of the "success sequence," which suggests that individuals who graduate high school, get a full-time job, and have children after marriage are less likely to be poor He emphasizes the importance of marriage in fostering a stable environment for children and advocates for policies that support marriage and work In his role as director of the National Marriage Project and professor of sociology at the University of Virginia, Wilcox has published extensively on marriage, religion, and family life, contributing to discussions on how to strengthen families and improve the well-being of children.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/16d46f82-f82b-454b-8aae-5eef6d0e6b70/de539e53-98d8-4afa-88e4-ea6376926e57-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/3PvwYY1sz8Hrebtbwmjn3Y2346002025-04-10T00:41:58.181ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/wpqM7kj3TghLggJBpPHiSbhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/892ff13f-4fe8-4fb6-b800-7c7060540134.jpgOppose HB2827!Oppose HB2827!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f637894d-6794-45d6-8de2-23b9a6025b3a/6bc3c162-bfab-4350-9eba-9f95a373a458-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/wpqM7kj3TghLggJBpPHiSb95002025-04-10T16:40:14.575ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nZAya5G3CgRPCoBzGtmdQDhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/183e59fe-7abb-45d9-af22-3bb50089baf6.jpgDiatribe: State Rep Howard Attempts to Justify HB 2827Diatribe: State Rep Howard Attempts to Justify HB 2827https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b21a9a07-09fd-40af-a7c3-0e4ff938c545/05fa8929-a37d-4b89-8a74-d157d34cf5e4-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/nZAya5G3CgRPCoBzGtmdQD185002025-04-11T16:40:39.749ZTerra Costa HowardHB 2827YESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/2wY3cMuFv5NVzj8EtEQae7https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/143d7280-216a-4408-9e5c-5dc4018d6cce.jpgRep.

The program emphasizes the benefits of reserving sexual activity and childbearing for marriage, aiming to equip teenagers with the knowledge and tools to avoid challenges like teen pregnancy and related destructive behaviors. It consists of four character-based workbooks tailored for grades 6-12, including titles like A.C. Green’s Game Plan, Navigator, Quest, Aspire, and Excel. These materials provide a clear, evidence-based message about the advantages of abstinence until marriage and preparation for healthy relationships. Phelps’ journey began in 1999 when he collaborated with educators in Chicago to deliver abstinence education, later expanding this effort nationally as the National Program Director for Project Reality. His work influenced federal policy, notably contributing to the definition of the Community Based Abstinence Education Program in 2002. In 2004, he founded A&M Partnership to advocate for abstinence and marriage education, followed by A&M Resources in 2005 to distribute high-quality curricula. Phelps also co-founded the National Abstinence Education Association in 2006. The program has reached over 2 million students across the U.S., supported by funding from the Department of Health and Human Services, though its contents reflect A&M Resources’ views rather than official HHS positions.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/86137c6a-16b4-4120-8e15-8f8246269cec/eeed64e2-935b-4a8e-bab0-149574ec0bb8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hygmXHR7R8oWEycMSx1gFb3203002025-04-12T10:42:47.835ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vz7bERTtoooTaCq7MjaCpShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6663e863-b146-424a-9c46-927f06335054.jpgIllinois Senate Hearing on Assisted Suicide (Full Hearing)The Illinois Senate held a hearing on April 9, 2025, to discuss Senate Bill 9, the End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act, which would allow terminally ill adults with a prognosis of six months or less to request and self-administer aid-in-dying medication. The bill passed out of committee on a partisan roll call of 9 to 4. Illinois Family Institute was among the opponents of this dangerous legislation, which also included the Catholic Conference of Illinois, Illinois Right to Life, and Access Living. Opponents called the bill “assisted suicide” and raised concerns about risks to vulnerable groups, like people with disabilities, who might face coercion or healthcare discrimination. They argued palliative care is a better alternative to manage end-of-life suffering and questioned the bill’s safeguards, citing cases in other states where insurance denied treatment but offered lethal drugs. Disability advocates and medical professionals, like Dr. Kevin Garner, challenged the notion of “peaceful” deaths, noting potential complications like prolonged dying processes. Proponents of the bill argued the bill offers a compassionate option for mentally capable, terminally ill adults to end unbearable suffering peacefully. They highlighted safeguards like requiring two verbal requests, a written request, and confirmation by two doctors of the patient’s prognosis and mental capacity. Advocates, including Sen. Linda Holmes, shared personal stories, like watching loved ones suffer from terminal illnesses, and cited a 2023 poll showing 71% of Illinois voters support the legislation. Compassion & Choices and the ACLU of Illinois emphasized patient autonomy and the bill’s alignment with laws in states like Oregon. Ironically, states like Oregon, who have had assisted-suicide legalized for years now, are attempting to loosen restrictions and make self-death more widely available.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ef786065-d57b-4151-9efb-4403a0b08da0/da430629-c19f-4479-88ac-189bbee10be7-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vz7bERTtoooTaCq7MjaCpS8261002025-04-12T13:50:09.419ZSB 9Assisted-SuicideYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/dJASUY7J8kBtiT7pAjeJj1https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/23bcf379-27cb-4207-a866-c1ab8aca08ed.jpgLeave homeschool families alone.

HB 2739 and SB 98 would require Illinois school boards to expel students who sexually assault others for a minimum of one year. This initiative stems from the teacher’s personal experience and seeks to address gaps in current state law, which does not mandate expulsion for such offenses. This is woefully lenient. We know that those who have committed sexual assaults are more likely to reoffend… therefore, putting an offender back into a school environment may create more victims. As of April 11, 2025, both bills have stalled out without even so much as a committee hearing.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f403baca-7ab6-49de-a858-ba26109d173b/525a2320-192a-4023-b4eb-69a706fd2a53-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/w8DUQueSri3HWq5tgr896R1794002025-04-17T17:22:20.732ZAshley PedenSteve McClureC.D.

Weber & Deering Want to Protect Women's SportsIllinois State Representatives Tom Weber (R-Fox Lake) and Reagan Deering (R-Decatur) are joined by female athletes Caitlyn and Abbigail Wheeler to champion HB 4027, the "Riley Gaines Act." This bill would help protect female sports by prohibiting "any male to compete for, against, or with a team designated for females, women, or girls." This legislation is co-sponsored by State Representatives Norine K. Hammond (R-Macomb), Jackie Haas (R-Kankakee), Paul Jacobs (R-Carbondale), Kevin Schmidt (R-Cahokia Heights), Tony M. McCombie (R-Savanna) and Dave Severin (R-Benton) In April 2023, 16-year-old Abbigail Wheeler, a member of the Springfield, Illinois YMCA’s SPY Typhoons Swim Team, sparked controversy after expressing extreme discomfort about sharing the women’s locker room with biological male pretending to be female. Wheeler claimed she saw this gender confused male changing in the locker room during swim practice on April 27, she reported the incident to her coach. Abbigail was then kicked off her swim team.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a177159c-6c0e-4120-a44f-b31f7cd0d1d5/6b301a7d-fbf6-495e-8a3c-069653e797aa-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/kWqNEeUQYLxgFZVnYM1cA61485002025-04-24T21:21:56.514ZRiley GainesYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/thhmJCt82hJuGixAbcdxkohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/387a28a2-b9a1-4db3-9657-ea8c25bd6d5d.jpgShould Christians participate in the 2025 Ice Bucket Challenge?Should Christians participate in the 2025 Ice Bucket Challenge?https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dcecb98c-f404-4ace-9880-ab4a9a82b890/f0e9e247-a603-486b-8dca-09061b1029c9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/thhmJCt82hJuGixAbcdxko81002025-04-25T14:21:03.721ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uockUghVURntRbgSHQehTxhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4a940114-d6eb-4f14-a247-48b2900a863f.jpg“Our elected officials are supposed to work for us.” Oppose HB2827“Our elected officials are supposed to work for us.” Oppose HB2827https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5d93c61-cb76-459e-8383-1b9aa6fc1995/9333eb16-c229-4387-a6dd-5a53d1de24d8-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uockUghVURntRbgSHQehTx58002025-04-25T16:21:01.578ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/dUULYFVDXXUNuTtWVi7vWShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ea64cf25-c75b-4eeb-b3a4-126abc669200.jpgContact your state legislatures and urge them to OPPOSE HB2827Contact your state legislatures and urge them to OPPOSE HB2827https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6890dd2f-1db3-4c33-ba6a-e4e1bf069ea2/263427d6-6df0-43f7-82af-feeb5dfb2194-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/dUULYFVDXXUNuTtWVi7vWS37002025-04-25T20:21:14.864ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uvZ4aGaSmtPcN8ahpYU5Gwhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/584b5bbf-1dbb-4179-b358-adb454b7240e.jpgPayton McNabb Speaks Out Against Male Competitors in Women's SportsPayton McNabb and Paula Scanlan were featured on The Ingraham Angle discuss the political debate around transgender athletes in women’s sports on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’ Payton McNabb, a former North Carolina high school volleyball player, has become a prominent advocate against male competitors in women’s sports following a severe injury in 2022. At 17, during a match, she was struck in the face by a volleyball spiked by a transgender-identifying male opponent, resulting in a traumatic brain injury, concussion, partial paralysis, vision impairment, and cognitive issues like memory loss. The injury ended her athletic career, including her plans for a college softball scholarship. Since the incident, McNabb has actively campaigned for fairness in women’s sports. In April 2023, she testified before the North Carolina General Assembly, supporting the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which bans transgender athletes from female sports teams at K-12 and collegiate levels. Her testimony went viral, contributing to the bill’s passage in August 2023. She has also become an ambassador for the Independent Women’s Forum, advocating alongside figures like Riley Gaines. McNabb’s advocacy extends beyond sports. In May 2024, she was expelled from her Delta Zeta sorority at Western Carolina University after confronting a male in a women’s bathroom, recording the encounter, and posting it online. The sorority cited violations of its “Anti-Bullying” and “Moral-Prejudicial Conduct” policies, despite support from her local chapter. McNabb faced a Title IX complaint but was cleared. Her story gained national attention when she was honored by President Donald Trump at his March 4, 2025, congressional address and attended his signing of an executive order to exclude males from women’s sports.

According to court papers, Dugan allegedly allowed Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a previously deported Mexican national, to escape through a jury door before he could be arrested by federal officials. The arrest took place after ICE agents showed up at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to arrest Flores-Ruiz following his scheduled criminal court appearance before Judge Dugan. FBI Director Kash Patel stated that Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from Flores-Ruiz, allowing him to evade arrest. Dugan appeared in federal court in Milwaukee on April 25 and was charged with obstruction of an official proceeding and concealing an individual to prevent discovery and arrest.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/42a54ddc-de17-41b8-8314-4180396ce1fb/7eeef31b-32ab-40c0-9f0e-b42f0481528e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/9ejGKpGcyjH5iKJhtutRW4137002025-04-29T17:21:17.133ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/cYkjYZ6H79iVnBWqFXekjThttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/8b9fb95d-39a5-4745-a535-e33034eecc68.jpgBorder Czar Tom Homan Gives a Board Security UpdateWhite House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Tom Homan, President Trump's "border czar," held a briefing to discuss Trump's immigration agenda and the first 100 days of his second term. Press Secretary Leavitt began the briefing by describing Mr. Trump's first 100 days as the "most monumental and historic of any administration in American history," noting that by the end of the day, President Trump planned to have signed more than 140 executive orders. Mr. Homan said the administration had created "the most secure border in the history of this nation," and expected more than 139,000 people to have been deported from the U.S. in the president's first 100 days.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/60f21655-7e75-4c3e-9379-0abc976239cb/935d1800-c299-41cc-831d-ec3fe59813f0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/cYkjYZ6H79iVnBWqFXekjT2699002025-04-29T18:23:16.012ZTom HomanYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/dU6dwYqYLEEFpc1KJAKhdkhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/51589bb5-7df9-4924-b258-d37aaa730dbb.jpgHomeschoolers continue to receive higher academic scores.

His daughter was brainwashed into thinking she could transition to a "new" gender. School officials encouraged her and this was kept secret from him. This is yet another reason why Christian parents would do well to get their children (and grandchildren) out of government schools. Their agenda is decisively anti-Christian.

I’m a father, a quiet one, one who goes to work, tries to do right by his family, and stays out of the spotlight.

No, this happened quickly, secretly, encouraged by a school-appointed therapist in a system that never thought to include me. And the school didn’t inform me. They didn’t include me. They didn’t even ask me. They replaced me! “By the time I found out, I was already labeled ‘the problem.’ My objections weren’t treated as concerns. They were treated as opposition. My voice was dismissed as hateful. My presence undermined.

They didn’t claim I’d caused harm. The only evidence against me was that I said, ‘I’m not ready to affirm this yet.’ That’s it! “And now I’m at risk of losing parenting time, of being erased from my daughter’s life, not because I failed as a father, but because I dared to ask questions. And it started in your schools.

Consider: In 1974, the Illinois Lottery was established with the goal of funding K-12 public education. In 1990, the Riverboat Gambling Act legalized ten casino licenses throughout the state. In 1990, The Riverboat Gambling Act legalized casino gambling on riverboats, a significant expansion that led to the establishment of multiple casinos. In 2009, another massive gambling expansion was passed, allowing video slot machines in neighborhood bars, restaurants, fraternal organizations, veterans groups and truck stops. This resulted in 18,000 slot machines at more than 4,700 locations, which is the equivalent of adding 15 new casinos. Twice as many locations for legalized gambling as Nevada. In 2012, Illinois legalized the purchase of online lottery tickets and instant win games. IN 2019, a major gambling expansion bill, signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker on June 28, authorized six new casinos (including a mega-casino in Chicago), legalized sports betting statewide, and expanded gaming at racetracks. Sports betting began on March 9, 2020, with Rivers Casino in Des Plaines taking the first legal wager. In 2021, Illinois reversed its ban on wagering on in-state college teams, allowing bets on local sports teams. In 2024, Illinois became the second state in the nation to legalize sports betting (which can be done on your phone). IN 2025, will Illinois legalize pocket casinos? How much money have Illinois residents lost to Big Gambling and the State of Illinois over the past several decades?https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/26a43900-68a5-44b5-a86b-7fc40167b822/3b513851-7271-46a6-b56d-1f322da94dcf-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/5LKHDbdd7TYnDnFCZ7ynP9296002025-05-15T12:21:14.452ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uy6rATFpL2UPofQP4akgRDhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/56fbf80d-b889-4d59-9d7d-9a72639d7e55.jpgSB9 seeks to give doctors legal authority to prescribe death-causing drugs to patients.

Travis Weaver (R-Pekin) took to the House Floor to speak up for women athletes and referenced a recent high school track meet in Illinois. He spoke about this unfair situation in a kind way. A biological boy dominated the girls' 100m, 200m and 400m races at the Naper Prairie Conference track meet this week in Naperville. In response, State Rep. Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) took a moment of personal privilege to attack conservatives as being "obsessed with children's genitals." Maybe someone should have warned Rep. Cassidy that she and her Progressive Caucus affirm hormone blockers, genital amputation and gender reassignment surgeries. Thankfully, State Rep. Bill Hauter (R-Morton) rose to object to Cassidy's unwarranted personal attack, asking that she take down her words.

The so-called "Illinois End-of-Life Options for Terminally Ill Patients Act" (SB 9 and HB 1328) would allow terminally ill patients who meet certain requirements to request medication to take their life. Opposition to the bill includes disability advocacy groups like Access Living, which argue that assisted suicide legislation can and will harm people with disabilities. They claim that assisted suicide will enable further healthcare discrimination against disabled people and other minorities. Illinois Family Institute, the Catholic Conference of Illinois, the Illinois State Medical Society, and the Illinois Right to Life are working in opposition to this legislation. Additionally, the American Medical Association (AMA), American Psychiatric Association, and dozens of other medical groups oppose assisted suicide. The AMA states that "Physician-assisted suicide is fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer"https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5aed29eb-93ef-4773-9048-361ad8fabd9c/09634aa5-f540-40be-8597-2938e42b6aef-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/cedW3rMXCXmYCJ7iDuSiGY5113002025-05-17T11:26:42.532ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/cykUhSifAM634MgKQwkVaEhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/fe815896-ace4-432b-94c7-5c17bd4b1875.jpg“I’m against HB2827 because it is against me and my children.”“I’m against HB2827 because it is against me and my children.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5d989736-833d-4cdf-baa9-054139dfe6bc/455ed63f-1276-490b-a44b-9e49d97cf55e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/cykUhSifAM634MgKQwkVaE41002025-05-19T22:21:01.283ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/4ALKR5ysmcZB4ezQf6qXRVhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ae7c4f43-7d88-4763-ab25-c77e84016aaf.jpgDisabled Activist Concerned About SB-9 the "End of Life Options Act"Disabled Activist Concerned About SB-9 the "End of Life Options Act"https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1d264937-aaae-4a2d-9d81-deccbdbd675b/76059a09-5633-48c6-b7b2-54f06b82fff6-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/4ALKR5ysmcZB4ezQf6qXRV134002025-05-20T14:21:14.442ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/sqz8giojDZQFMb82JJYwhohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6ce3aa82-b99b-4002-bbfb-f43d0d9b6451.jpg“Respectfully, they should clean up their own house first.”“Respectfully, they should clean up their own house first.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d5fbdeaa-bda3-49e0-b672-30443a54af4e/541002cf-120b-4e8a-97eb-92f117a13f2a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/sqz8giojDZQFMb82JJYwho48002025-05-20T21:21:02.522ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7i2mn6pQdcbFTJdqFW4Jqbhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d702f968-a015-4a1e-bf61-f426a7a67828.jpgOur mission at IFI is to uphold the values of faith, family, and freedom!Our mission at IFI is to uphold the values of faith, family, and freedom!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/32f74f06-8b06-4503-94d1-99a4f876509a/c7645101-ffdc-4b68-9ec7-079a81f6710c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7i2mn6pQdcbFTJdqFW4Jqb46002025-05-21T21:21:00.923ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uM6u3u5uBDYetUXWdrDfeJhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4b84e144-6fb8-4f70-8fd2-bce1a931de78.jpgHB2827 uses toxic empathy to push government overreach onto homeschooling families.HB2827 uses toxic empathy to push government overreach onto homeschooling families.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e90bbb40-9f81-4c74-9547-4b1634b3d5ec/aebd2b68-11fd-4630-a9ae-34df3ce2d4ee-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uM6u3u5uBDYetUXWdrDfeJ29002025-05-22T14:21:10.785ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/faXNkBjD1dHpQoYzkE2b86https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/dd042573-3157-454b-af13-7ab8349a97df.jpgIFI is fighting for YOU.

Niemerg asserted that this practice undermines girls' dedication and contradicts executive orders issued by President Donald Trump. In response, Illinois State Representative Anne Stava-Murray (D-Naperville) condemned lawmakers for politicizing a child's athletic moment, calling it "disgusting." She emphasized that neither the child nor their parents consented to the national attention, and that the child's identity is their private business. One might wonder if Representative Stava-Murray's condemnation of "disgusting" behavior extends to adults who enable a child's delusional thinking, especially when it negatively affects others.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3bf5fa6e-e61c-4190-9ad3-496090c83637/0c2dd976-0d27-44e9-9081-fbb50529147e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8prNvfYrEwzLWnJge8D5qx278002025-05-23T15:21:17.315ZAdam Niemergfemale athleteshigh school track meetingYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/oKaZthrrUzfYLwAJFYqGnrhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/2d4adcfb-3dc6-4676-8e57-84162889cc87.jpgState Lawmakers Mandate Mental Health Screening for StudentsIllinois is actively implementing comprehensive mental health screening initiatives in its public schools to address the growing mental health challenges faced by students. These efforts are guided by state legislation and aim to identify and support students with mental health issues before they escalate. But who defines what mental health is? Who defines what mental illness is? The same "experts" who cannot define what a woman is? Why should we trust to define mental illness to those who reject God’s creation of humans as male and female and God’s law for what is proper for sexuality and life? Other questions: -What happens when a boy who thinks he is a girl is screened by the school district and this desire is discovered? Will the parents be informed? What if parents do not accept the diagnosis? Do they have any recourse? And will those who determine what mental illness is also concur with current school curriculum that teaches LGBTQ ideology and sex-ed to children in kindergarten? What do you think? -Let’s say a young woman in school becomes pregnant out of wedlock. Certainly, this is going to affect her. What would government officials diagnose in terms of her “mental illness” and what would the solution be? I think you know well the answer would almost certainly be abortion! Her parents would not even have to be informed thanks to the removal of Parental Notification. -Who has access to the data and how is it shared? -What is this legislation going to cost taxpayers in Illinois? We do not need state officials taking over this aspect of life for nearly 1.5 million students (3rd -12th grade) in Illinois. This bill must be defeated, not modified or amended to make it more acceptable. Unfortunately, this legislation has passed both chambers and will in all likelihood be signed into law by Gov. Pritzker. Parents need to know that they can OPT OUT of this program. Thankfully, the screening will not start until the 2027-2028 school year.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b8303091-979f-4ebe-a109-e6e3c86fae9b/92d9aaf4-a5d0-4099-8a42-08430bb46695-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/oKaZthrrUzfYLwAJFYqGnr2159002025-05-23T18:22:57.759ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/jYdQfYcX8FenVbwCMYGZmWhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/01e8f7f5-a871-45bc-b838-c584319f1309.jpgIFI’s Dave Smith Interviewed by WVON’s David SeatonIFI’s Dave Smith Interviewed by WVON’s David Seatonhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/999e0e15-fbf1-40cb-871a-86cba4fcc4a2/927f7cd3-5566-4456-836e-57752ecffaf4-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/jYdQfYcX8FenVbwCMYGZmW1743002025-05-24T18:29:52.751ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/8WU39DzLhu1zCg3XT741P2https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/5c736e4b-f59b-43b2-b46b-75f217bd3c60.jpgFor You...For You...https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/405a3403-2ec7-418f-b128-12b9cb133e1f/4d6bf139-85a7-49ea-85d4-12d6e0d281ad-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8WU39DzLhu1zCg3XT741P2317002025-05-26T08:29:00.375ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/4EitSgCH4akxv8Bk6uY7r7https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1a627548-6779-4dce-851c-234d27dc1847.jpgU.S. Senator Rand Paul Questions Moderna CEO Over COVID Vaccine Side EffectsDuring a U.S. Senate Health, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) had an exchange with Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel over COVID-19 vaccine side effects in relation to myocarditis with senator saying, "I spoke with your president just last week and he readily acknowledged, in private, that yes there is an increased risk of myocarditis.

U.S. Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the subcommittee, pushed back saying that the shocking adverse effects should have been reason to study the safety of the COVID-19 injection.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/daed7f76-2b8b-4c43-9d71-b55e2ad80a92/9f9e5731-8cb5-45a4-ac5e-17b8536b8a39-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/t2YNYihUaPYiUuYD5MBJ8d687002025-05-27T21:30:17.222ZJosh GreenRon JohnsonYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/t7UuWkR96m6pWcEpxGR8dThttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e34158d5-ec59-4248-bd87-6e6b4e6f2e0f.jpgDr. Peter McCullough Answers Senator Johnson's QuestionsDr. Peter McCullough Answers Senator Johnson's Questionshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/db9d8f5f-0e2f-4fbc-9995-1f9f353e932f/d335e98c-2058-4a25-ac3e-b7ae3778c74e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/t7UuWkR96m6pWcEpxGR8dT466002025-05-27T21:29:31.370ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/9VU6Z3Esjq73CCh5PWDWiQhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e7e8a220-9427-4b32-8b7d-f64aa6c80c3b.jpgU.S. Senator Moreno Questions Panel About COVID-19 PoliciesU.S. Senator Bernie Moreno (R-OH) questioned Governor Josh Green (D-HI) during the May 21, 2025 Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations is the Committee regarding the failed policies implemented during the pandemic. Senator Moreno questioned Governor Green about school closures during the pandemic, asking: "So why would you close schools, which you did, Governor, when no children died of COVID?

Representative Robyn Gabel (D-Chicago) has added assisted suicide language into a food preparation safety bill, SB 1950, as an amendment. This amendment allows supposedly terminally ill patients with less than six months to live to receive a prescription for a lethal drug cocktail. Illinois Family Institute, Illinois Right to Life and the Catholic Bishops of Illinois oppose this agenda, arguing that it not only violates the sanctity of human life, but it poses significant risks of coercion and exploitation our family, friends and neighbors. We advocate for expanding palliative care programs instead of legalizing assisted suicide. Additional Arguments Against: Ethical and Moral Concerns: Evangelical Christians, Catholics and some disability rights groups, argue against the practice on moral grounds, emphasizing a "consistent life ethic" and advocating for palliative care as the appropriate response to suffering. Potential for Abuse: Opponents express concerns that safeguards may not be sufficient to prevent abuse, coercion, or misdiagnosis, especially for vulnerable populations (e.g., those with mental health challenges, limited support, or financial pressures). We believe there will be cases of abuse. Misdiagnosis and "Terminal" Definition: There are worries about misdiagnosis of terminal illness or prognosis, and that the definition of "terminal" could be broadened, potentially including conditions that are treatable. Physician's Role: Many medical professionals argue it fundamentally changes the role of a doctor from healing to facilitating death, violating the "do no harm" principle. This is why the Illinois State Medical Society voted overwhelmingly to oppose this agenda. Insurance Company Incentives: There are legitimate concerns about insurance companies potentially incentivizing suicide over expensive life-prolonging treatments.

This legislation is titled the "Equality for Every Family Act" - which amends the Illinois Parentage Act of 2015 by mandating gender neutral pronouns. It also mandates the removal of "mother" and "father" and substituts it with the words "person" or "genetic parent." The absurd phrase "person who gave birth" is also a mandated substitution.

The bill, sponsored by State Senator Celina Villanueva (D-Chicago), will target vulnerable female students at public colleges and universities, by expanding the availability of contraception and other essential services directly on campus. House Bill 3709 would require every public higher education institution in Illinois to provide students with access to health care professionals authorized to prescribe contraception and medication abortion beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. If the campus has a pharmacy, that pharmacy would be required to dispense those prescriptions if a student chooses not to use a third-party provider. The bill defines "contraception" broadly, including both medication and medical devices used to prevent pregnancy, and "medication abortion" refers to the destruction of a human fetus through prescribed medication.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d9943fcd-5759-4091-bfcc-f41c85d5f1ba/a3dfde21-0e84-4bed-a56e-a7293b3ecd66-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/sSjA8Gvxk8QcTCFBW3SJ9j1503002025-05-30T22:30:06.905ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7rMHB9eACSL5KvPqygk1Yyhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c4476ca9-52a1-4fcc-ad05-cf919d62c6d1.jpgState Rep.

The phrase "when I am weak, then I am strong" is found in 2 Corinthians 12 and is a paradox that highlights a spiritual truth in Christianity. It suggests that when one is at their weakest, they are most dependent on God, and it is in this dependence that God's strength is made manifest. Paul writes, "For when I am weak, then I am strong."https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8d285ea7-0a2f-41a0-bb2b-9a164fb734f6/14b1eb0a-c191-418d-b9f7-a773fedca82f-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/iqZ4fwSWeZQPEH6DyH9tDY78002025-06-02T02:28:53.828ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/kn6SAsqEnJN3dsoMNxvsFvhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/53123cd9-6b9b-4930-8359-be32f4bc630a.jpgHB2827 is NOT progressing. 🙌🏻HB2827 is NOT progressing. 🙌🏻https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9ccfdf66-0254-4177-8ea6-fd2afb187713/9796a173-a8db-43c4-babd-407af8ee5510-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/kn6SAsqEnJN3dsoMNxvsFv5002025-06-02T16:28:53.275ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/dnBdfEz6L92pDM6DitvZHbhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1c261303-40bc-49a1-8452-b63ea7486577.jpgYour efforts stopped HB2827!Your efforts stopped HB2827!https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6431fb98-9b6d-4ab0-956e-9b24e8ef8bf0/5ff12473-147b-44f7-8703-118976518b40-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/dnBdfEz6L92pDM6DitvZHb5002025-06-03T14:28:54.130ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hdEsMcS7d4o2d7MiRWv134https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/623efa46-7fc4-4610-ae7b-92e2be27f189.jpgCut Funding for Planned ParenthoodCut Funding for Planned Parenthoodhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8356d8bf-8ff8-4a31-a605-5c6c65e960bf/408a45d1-4944-4dc5-957e-3c99ce73f1f9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hdEsMcS7d4o2d7MiRWv13499002025-06-03T18:29:01.145ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6FAmtyLiZMkTmtH4Ephk8Thttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/cddd1468-f4d1-477c-b4c8-063940660dcb.jpgPrayers Needed for Immigration RiotsPrayers Needed for Immigration Riotshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2e04df02-7d9f-417e-a0e4-2af05dd6b865/498ae43f-12cb-41ee-8b57-5248812496e5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6FAmtyLiZMkTmtH4Ephk8T81002025-06-11T13:28:53.024ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hWiGRNgoQ9U7ffY3A1v1Sqhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/cbd2ec93-cf71-4898-9d2e-d81619f5d206.jpgPresident Trump Recognizes Riley Gaines's LeadershipRiley Gaines, a 12-time NCAA All-American and former University of Kentucky swimmer, has become a powerful national voice of truth.

This decision comes after pressure from the Trump administration, which paused $175 million in federal funding to UPenn earlier this year due to its inclusion of transgender athletes in women's sports. Riley Gaines also led the grassroots efforts to call out this foolishness. As part of the agreement with the Department of Education, UPenn will restore individual Division I swimming records and titles to female athletes who lost to transgender swimmer Lia Thomas during the 2021-22 season. Thomas, who previously competed on UPenn's men's swim team for three seasons before transitioning and joining the women's team, had set several program records during his time on the women's team. These records have now been revised to reflect the updated eligibility guidelines, and UPenn will issue personalized apology letters to each female swimmer who was impacted by this situation. In addition to revising athletic records and issuing apologies, UPenn will adopt biology-based definitions for the terms "male" and "female" in accordance with Title IX and Trump's executive orders. The university has acknowledged that some student-athletes were disadvantaged by previous policies and has committed to ensuring that women's sports remain protected for future generations.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/801e849c-e9c7-484a-a582-242f107d37b6/93d27101-39c3-460f-a029-b59577a39385-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/gPARErkLiRQYDCR5Qi6UVd293002025-07-03T15:22:52.437ZRiley GainesYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rsAoNhDwzkCMKu9bkvPWVGhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ddb750e0-86a0-448d-b53a-3cd3441b0e40.jpgRiley Gaines Speaks at TPUSA Student Action SummitRiley Gaines was featured speaker at the July 2025 Turning Point USA Student Action Summit. She spoke strongly against what she termed the “dehumanization of women,” highlighting a controversial Wisconsin budget bill that attempted to redefine "mother" as "inseminated person" and "father" as "natural parent." She warned such language shifts reflect a deeper cultural assault on womanhood. Now expecting her first child—a daughter—Gaines shared the emotional impact seeing her baby’s heartbeat and movements has had on her convictions. She described her position as “radically pro-life” and emphasized how motherhood has made the issue feel deeply personal. Riley Gaines encouraged young people (Gen Z) to recognize the moral weight of the moment and to stay engaged in the political process.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ce2b0000-2388-494e-8850-866b95bd854a/46c6fd4b-b2dd-46f9-8337-72376b0c9c9d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/rsAoNhDwzkCMKu9bkvPWVG1286002025-07-14T02:23:36.868ZRiley GainesTPUSAYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/v9MBrG4kLXtDzJvGbdeS3rhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/b3439741-0227-4ff4-9db4-31061b9162aa.jpgThe Fight for Home Education in IllinoisThe Fight for Home Education in Illinoishttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec131483-60d1-4959-a0b7-e44fd829051d/edaa5370-b94b-4619-b797-84cc367f9f9c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/v9MBrG4kLXtDzJvGbdeS3r84002025-07-18T20:22:47.696ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/bJMvCe8HUA8eBu6zrDF7Rnhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/72ebc62d-cf88-4244-84d6-4b71a0b4a4ed.jpgA Biblical View of Children!A powerful & thoroughly biblical worldview on the sanctity of life—beautifully articulated by this mom, Lydia Braun.

From Gaines' point of view, the situation was deeply frustrating and disheartening. Initially, Gaines states she believed the NCAA would recognize the unfairness of a biological male competing in women's sports. However, when the NCAA allowed Thomas to participate, Gaines felt it was a "slap in the face" to female athletes. The tie itself was a significant moment for Gaines, but the aftermath amplified her frustration. She recounts being told by an NCAA official that only one fifth-place trophy was available, and it would be given to Lia Thomas, while Gaines would have to pose with a sixth-place trophy and wait for hers to arrive by mail. Gaines viewed this as a clear prioritization of a transgender athlete over the biological female competitors. Beyond the race itself, Gaines has also spoken about the discomfort she and other female swimmers felt sharing a locker room with Thomas, emphasizing concerns about physical safety and privacy. This experience, coupled with the trophy incident, solidified her conviction that the NCAA's policies were discriminatory against female athletes and undermined the integrity of women's sports. She has since become a prominent advocate against the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports, leading lawsuits and speaking publicly to defend what she believes are the rights of biological females in athletics.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7347fed2-4519-4f14-98e4-4f822786f5a6/968c565d-e01a-40cf-973c-18c247686d32-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/feDWSRj2qzYAUsh61kxPAf141002025-07-29T13:22:49.021ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/gLSF7w4unJYCzcorx4gpXuhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6b12be29-d34f-4ba6-a705-ce99456429dc.jpgDouglas Murray Clearly Explains the Israel vs. Hamas ConflictThe battle between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, with the IDF planning to to take control of Gaza City, escalating its military campaign against the Islamic terror network. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government faces growing domestic and international criticism, accused of "war crimes" and failing to pursue peace. Yet Hamas currently holds 49 innocent hostages in Gaza. Recent reports reveal that at least 20 are believed to still be alive, while at least 27 have tragically been killed by Hamas since their capture on October 7, 2023. These hostages were not victims of crossfire but were coldly executed in a manner consistent with Islamic tradition. British author and conservative commentator Douglas Murray, who has firsthand experience in the region, joins Piers Morgan on Uncensored to discuss the ongoing conflict. Murray remains firm in his stance that Hamas is the root cause of the conflict, emphasizing that their goal is not a ceasefire but the total destruction of Israel.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7fbd08f3-0a62-4a06-a13e-f0b3a62380f6/01316484-d902-497e-b091-d23d186ecc69-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/gLSF7w4unJYCzcorx4gpXu270002025-08-08T12:23:21.060ZIsraelHamasterrorYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/u42FLi1Zd7EwiJhEELiPG6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e3094066-ca95-4dd1-8f8f-acf003eeb1c7.jpgTed Dabrowski from Wirepoints at the Networking The Networking ConferenceWe're excited to be a part of Networking the Networks in Illinois!

Now there is an option. Dr. Clinton Ohlers, vice president of Safe Blood, joined Alex Newman on Conversations That Matter for The New American to discuss how his organization is helping match unvaxxed donors with those in need. The effort began when scientists and medical professionals began examining vaxxed blood under a microscope. “They saw in every case they looked at, the vaxxed blood was affected,” Ohlers said. The predictions that there would be health problems with those who receive donations of vaxxed blood were correct, he added. Among other examples, Dr. Ohlers cited multiple babies who received blood transfusions from vaxxed donors and then died from myocarditis and other issues related to contaminated blood. To meet the growing demand for pure blood, Safe Blood is now working across the United States and internationally to pair blood transfusion recipients in need with unvaxxed donors whose blood has not been contaminated with the mRNA injections. Now, Big Pharma is fighting back. But the demand keeps growing. https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2cfeb1d5-844b-4c03-9f6a-43a48bb6dd1b/3add9eaf-b849-4fe5-939a-89bcefd15980-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6yfVVm4tbfmnf9ZPo12xTa1326022025-08-20T11:27:08.587ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/2MoBMxFFHc5M656gtxAgkShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/242a412f-63bf-4049-ad2c-f292853b15a7.jpgDr. Al Mohler: The Euthanasia Death CultDr. Al Mohler: The Euthanasia Death Culthttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0e6f8be8-fc36-4c6c-b429-82e8e6391bfc/d9dde585-55f2-4482-b7be-6085e895605a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2MoBMxFFHc5M656gtxAgkS1128002025-08-20T12:26:23.864Zassisted suicideeuthanasiaYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/pj8Tbjsez91Uepi85UbKfShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bc897f8c-f95e-4a7e-8f6e-71254ffcf29c.jpgRiley Gaines Barker is coming to Chicago this November!

Mohler challenges the very concept of “gender identity” as a separate category from biological sex, arguing that Scripture affirms they are inseparable. For Christians, gender identity simply means recognizing and celebrating one’s biological sex as God created it. He grounds his answer in Genesis 1 and 2, explaining that God created humans male and female for reproduction, complementarity, and to display His glory. Marriage and procreation reflect God’s design, and the man–woman union also serves as a biblical picture of Christ and the church. Dr. Mohler also emphasizes that all of creation is marked by divinely established distinctions—land and sea, animals and humans, those in Christ and those outside. Male and female is one of these essential distinctions, a divine mandate rooted in creation itself.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a97dbe19-2e06-4ba2-af9c-7f7d72d0f41d/f6baf177-be37-4e5a-9fd1-88d0c65b875e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/mVUPo15KsCxiKnsJxfdERc417002025-09-01T12:15:38.521ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/bpRHsz33Via2VVNDFwomJVhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/bc6881a8-bbd3-4eb8-a872-510ca59e4d36.jpgAre Smartphones Ruining Young Adults' Brains?A new study from the University of Southern California (USC) warns that smartphones and streaming services may be fueling a sharp decline in responsibility and reliability among young adults. Researchers tracked the psychological effects of digital life on Americans aged 16–39 and found troubling trends: --Conscientiousness is in “free fall.” Traits like reliability, discipline, and responsibility are rapidly eroding. --Other personality attributes are slipping. Agreeableness and extraversion are decreasing, while neuroticism and distractibility are on the rise. The study confirms what many parents already suspect: smartphones are reshaping the younger generation’s cognitive and social development in harmful ways. Because smartphones and apps are engineered to exploit weakness, parental guidance is essential. Setting boundaries, modeling self-control, encouraging face-to-face relationships, and—above all—grounding your family in God’s Word are key to resisting the pull of digital distraction.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/54502192-708c-4c70-957c-32b783278079/0f48eef4-a7d7-41c9-89a4-7465fee83552-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/bpRHsz33Via2VVNDFwomJV369002025-09-01T13:15:25.341ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/uYcsk3kyc1SaqZDAU7FU7Vhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/3ef81f04-5810-4dad-a8cd-a1cc44942577.jpgChris Miller, Illinois Freedom Caucus Chairman at Networking the Networks' Faith and Fire ConferenceJust Released!

Adam Niemerg: "Opt Out" of Mental Health ScreeningIllinois State Representative Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich) is not only deeply concerned about our state’s new mental health screening mandate—he’s sounding the alarm to parents: “Opt out.” As parents, you are the God-given authority and primary stewards of your child’s education and moral upbringing. Yet in today’s public schools, many Christian families are shocked—even horrified—by what is being pushed on children as young as five: so-called “comprehensive” sex education, gender confusion, and radical ideological agendas. On top of that, classes, materials, and extracurriculars are increasingly designed to undermine biblical truth and family values. That’s the bad news. The good news? Parents still have the right to protect their children by opting them out of these harmful programs.

Rubio credited Charlie Kirk's work with inspiring a movement of young people—particularly men—who embraced marriage, raising children, and a belief in American exceptionalism. He described Kirk as having “an uncanny amount of wisdom for a man as young as he was” and emphasized his boldness, noting that Kirk “actively sought out to engage, peacefully, respectfully, those whom he disagreed with.” Rubio highlighted Kirk’s commitment to civil discourse, citing that just one day before his death on the campus of Utah Valley University, Kirk had reached out via direct message to CNN commentator Van Jones to discuss a dispute over Black crime and Kirk’s rhetoric. Rubio stressed that because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, believers are freed from sin and promised a future with God, concluding, “we are going to have a great reunion there again with Charlie and all the people we love.” **** "...if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”" ~Romans 10:9-11https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/35fb255d-24ec-4b1d-87a5-4123b3222191/be1a298a-d3f6-4c63-aab1-149242545a90-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7EBMhMiq98nD1pieT74gL6460002025-09-22T20:15:32.665ZCharlie KirkMarco RubioYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/7LPVwgA3xKYcy1c7sqsyDPhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e75a5d20-1275-4033-9c81-14abc768bc36.jpg“Charlie is in heaven because his Savior sacrificed Himself for Charlie Kirk.” - Frank Turek“Charlie is in heaven because his Savior sacrificed Himself for Charlie Kirk.” - Frank Turekhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/36d91760-0a05-4015-a6ee-caf2312595e1/84dd7793-bae0-4031-9ddc-37ecb4f7bd6d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/7LPVwgA3xKYcy1c7sqsyDP36002025-09-23T14:15:25.011ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/pUs91i5zBsuxvAH7wxCu9ehttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/2446b468-4e68-4b35-a922-5d97a5aec535.jpgCharlie Kirk Memorial: Vice President JD VanceVice President J.D. Vance delivered a memorial speech for Charlie Kirk on September 21, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, following Kirk’s assassination during a September 10 appearance at a Utah college campus. Vance, a close friend of Kirk and someone who credited him with launching his political career, stated that he had spoken more about Jesus Christ in the two weeks following Kirk’s death than during his entire public life, calling this a lasting legacy of Kirk’s influence, saying: "They tried to silence our dear friend Charlie Kirk, and today, tonight, we speak with Charlie and for Charlie louder than ever.

Many women (and men) experience deep guilt, grief, and regret long after the decision to terminate the life of their preborn baby. The culture tells them to “move on,” but their hearts know something precious was lost.

Our attention now turns to Governor Pritzker who we are encouraging to veto this legislation. We must pray — then call and email his office — and pray again. If you have never spoken up before, this is the moment. Every phone call, every email, every prayer matters in defending a culture of life in the Land of Lincoln. Please pray that God would bring this dangerous agenda to a halt in Illinois. Ask the Lord to convict the heart and mind of Governor Pritzker — that he would see the grave consequences of normalizing suicide and refuse to sign SB 1950 into law. May God stir his conscience, overwhelm him with truth, and lead him to protect every vulnerable life in our state.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/efc59a7c-d13c-49dc-a2d8-777b04643246/1093cd02-c9eb-461a-a553-96ecf6fad316-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vBguPYpbRSxwXr2mgom5CN170002025-11-08T10:59:16.311ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/dakAjWKnt84ugoAhVx5XS6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/9f94c489-f125-4074-b040-529eba13d2a2.jpgIt was such an honor to have Riley Gaines Barker as our keynote speaker. #shortsIt was such an honor to have Riley Gaines Barker as our keynote speaker. #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/627b6e87-1d7c-4fc6-b05e-290d5a1552c5/5cbc4fc4-e020-4eb2-97c5-fb32436af63d-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/dakAjWKnt84ugoAhVx5XS617002025-11-08T13:59:12.973ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5QoQAA3Xhz6UtBXKPgV4NJhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ef84739f-1266-4a61-a7a9-8a3100f60a2c.jpgThere is still time!

Pritzker on February 22, 2021. This massive overhaul of our criminal-justice system passed entirely along party lines — every Democrat voted for it; not a single Republican supported it. The horrific attack on 26-year-old Bethany Magee is not an isolated tragedy. It is the predictable and preventable result of a justice system that now elevates ideological experiments above the safety of ordinary citizens. When violent, repeat offenders are released back onto the streets with little more than a slap on the wrist, innocent people pay the price. This must stop. Illinois cannot wait for the next victim. It’s time for Governor Pritzker to acknowledge what everyday Illinoisans already know: the SAFE-T Act is a dangerous failure, and it must be repealed. TAKE ACTION: Your elected officials will not act unless you demand it. Take 30 seconds today to call Governor Pritzker and urge him to repeal the SAFE-T Act and restore public safety: Springfield Office: 217-782-6830 Chicago Office: 312-814-2121 Be respectful, firm, and clear: Illinois deserves laws that protect the innocent — not policies that empower violent criminals. Let’s stand together and call our leaders back to their most basic duty: to uphold justice and safeguard the people they serve.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8460fb5a-de7f-4167-8da2-b2776413fcb2/04385d27-7d1d-4a79-b02b-1ee6e1286c30-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hm7iUzHik5GvsydSRYnypm129032025-11-26T13:12:43.128ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/2eN1kJ5PJ2keDhUjXGqLa6https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/11c85a40-89a7-435d-b91c-4302680c69b4.jpgMarijuana Use Is Going UpA recent studies from Florida Atlantic University spanning 16 years (2003–2019) reports that while many more Americans meet criteria for Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), the share of people receiving treatment for it has declined. In 2003 about 19% of people with CUD got treatment; by 2019 that dropped to about 13%. The increased use of marijuana is consistent with reports that suggest that daily use of marijuana is now outpacing daily use of alcohol. Still, it is shocking to hear that 18 million people use marijuana every day, or nearly every day. A second FAU-linked study (2025) focused on adolescents (ages 12–17) who attempted treatment for CUD: among 40,000+ teens treated between 2018–2021, only ~35% completed treatment. Many of those teens began using cannabis at very young ages (between 12 and 14), often alongside other mental health or substance-use problems, which complicates recovery and increases risk. The dangers of brain damage from regular use of marijuana is particularly acute for people under the age of 25. That is because the human brain continues to undergo significant development until approximately age 25, with the prefrontal cortex—the region responsible for executive functions like decision-making, impulse control, risk assessment, and long-term planning—being one of the last areas to fully mature. High potency THC products act primarily on the endocannabinoid system, which plays a critical role in regulating synaptic pruning and neural connectivity. Heavy or frequent exposure during this developmental window can disrupt normal pruning, leading to reduced gray-matter volume in areas like the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Longitudinal studies show that individuals who begin regular cannabis use before age 18–20 experience greater declines in IQ (averaging 6–8 points by adulthood), poorer working memory, slower processing speed, and impaired attention compared to later-onset or non-users, even after controlling for confounding...https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0a0628e8-0e0f-4765-b082-c2ec5a4ca85f/cfb8566b-d510-42d5-a29b-922265fe9e09-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/2eN1kJ5PJ2keDhUjXGqLa626002025-11-26T14:22:46.795ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nP7jaBuWpGxHysFkmk4QMDhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1ef10990-d03b-49a5-a883-970f475f204f.jpgMarijuana Use Rising — But Treatment FallingA recent studies from Florida Atlantic University spanning 16 years (2003–2019) reports that while many more Americans meet criteria for Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD), the share of people receiving treatment for it has declined.

Her advocacy isn’t theoretical. It comes from lived experience—and from conviction. In 2022, Riley was forced to compete against and even undress beside a biological male, (Will) Lia Thomas, at the NCAA Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships. That moment didn’t just change her life—it awakened a nation to the injustice created by gender ideology. Now a new mother, Riley continues to speak boldly about God’s design for men and women and the importance of truth. As she often reminds us: “There are two sexes. One sex cannot become the other. And each sex is deserving of equal opportunities, safety, and privacy.” Her message is urgent and timely. Riley understands—as we do—the profound harm that follows when a culture rejects truth and embraces lies.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/942da402-82f6-4029-8715-907ae4bac3d6/06e8179f-e293-418b-9808-785dee6e6a9e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/jigq9LsVyDi8dPqcRtA96U2931002025-12-04T16:02:50.678ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vciqHhcj2fmWUpvrXUZ71Zhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/38f68c1d-6346-426e-a689-bee39941c3ba.jpgVaccine Skeptics VindicatedAlex Newman interviews Andrew Wakefield, an English former physician and vaccine truth activist who was struck off the UK medical register for "serious professional misconduct" due to his involvement in a 1998 study published in The Lancet that claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ec6cf11a-036d-4007-ab4e-ecff9eb63259/b814eff3-e0bc-46ae-b6c5-c90332844ad9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vciqHhcj2fmWUpvrXUZ71Z1654002025-12-05T15:02:08.323ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nqoipzfs54UYUfUCktTywThttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/46189d8c-686e-4588-94f3-52ff5d4bdc1f.jpgIFI Glitter Bombed?Democratic congressional candidate and Chicago attorney Reed Showalter decided that the best way to “prove” his credentials to the radical Left was to respond to a Christian organization’s candidate questionnaire with… an envelope full of glitter.

Supporters of the referendum argue that since legalization, emergency room visits related to cannabis use—especially among young people—have surged. Two recent studies are cited to support these concerns: --At Massachusetts General Brigham hospital, the proportion of adolescents in psychiatric emergencies testing positive for THC has risen sharply since legalization, with similar increases in other cannabis-related issues among teens. --A Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) analysis found a large increase in cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (a severe vomiting disorder linked to heavy marijuana use), with emergency visits spiking significantly since 2020 and remaining well above pre-pandemic levels. The editorial argues that greater access, social acceptance, and marketing following legalization likely contributed to higher usage and related health issues. It also notes that daily marijuana use is now reported as more common than daily alcohol use, according to national data.

The hearing examined the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) relationship with the Biden-Harris administration and its influence on federal civil-rights policy. Republican lawmakers alleged that the SPLC targets Christian and conservative Americans, undermining their constitutional rights to free speech and association. Lawmakers also scrutinized the SPLC’s history, funding, and its controversial and widely criticized “Hate Map.” Featured in this video clip are opening statements from Tyler O’Neil of The Daily Signal and Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. O’Neil is a senior editor at The Daily Signal, a conservative news outlet founded by The Heritage Foundation.

He ordered the immediate elimination of the Army’s current Spiritual Fitness Guide, criticizing it for promoting secular humanism and "new age" concepts while mentioning God only once and emphasizing feelings and playfulness instead of faith and virtue. Hegseth stated that chaplains are meant to be "pastors and shepherds of the souls entrusted to his care," citing the 1956 Army Chaplain’s Manual, and emphasized that the role is a "high and sacred calling" He criticized the 2017 expansion of the Pentagon’s religious affiliation codes to 221 categories, including Wiccan, pagan, and atheist groups, calling it a product of "political correctness" and an "ongoing war on warriors" The reforms are part of a broader effort to refocus the military on faith, virtue, and discipline, with Hegseth also criticizing the physical fitness of troops and senior officers in the same remarks.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3113814b-6e62-43e8-8a48-9191942f7211/8e4e17c5-44f0-49bb-a99b-437087a3bc1a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/74uiwfRb13Zx2vLxXTKCL2234002025-12-18T16:01:06.332ZDepartment of WarPete Hegsethchaplain corpsYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/oARjj6rYPDgTDVZa5Q9aZLhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c9ab3d21-dc14-4b3f-bd06-c6cd95a28383.jpgTeach kids to value life... more death is coming to IllinoisTeach kids to value life... more death is coming to Illinoishttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b706bb08-390f-4096-9d80-48ca8b0c17da/79cab199-9d9c-4919-bdf5-fe59ccdf7b98-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/oARjj6rYPDgTDVZa5Q9aZL100002025-12-19T03:01:03.758ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vrd4PozMfwgGq5VjLVizp5https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/b38d0194-86fa-490d-b944-37c9057d072b.jpgKennedy: Radical Gender Procedures Are Harming ChildrenHealth and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced new steps to end the federal funding of radical “sex-rejecting” medical procedures on children, including mastectomies. The administration plans to cut off Medicaid and Medicare funding to hospitals that perform these irreversible procedures on minors. Kennedy said a recent HHS review found that such interventions pose serious medical risks and can cause lasting harm to children. According to the HHS report, so-called “gender-affirming” treatments carry significant dangers, including infertility and reduced bone density. Rather than rushing children toward permanent medical damage, the report recommends psychotherapy as a safer and more appropriate response to gender distress.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ee5e0d1c-1b44-41b6-a95a-8403e4eca856/c6809003-31dc-4615-9086-13b50952d162-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vrd4PozMfwgGq5VjLVizp5537002025-12-19T12:01:17.949ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/9taVcmqza56MhWgxv4oHtshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1c8c2d92-294c-4a62-84cf-a2bc334dbe95.jpgDrs. Oz & Makary Challenge Radical Gender Medical Procedures on ChildrenDrs. Mehmet Oz and Marty Makary both participated in a news conference on December 18, 2025 to support proposed federal rules that would bar hospitals providing radical and irreversible gender reassignment treatments for minors from receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding As the head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Dr. Oz emphasized that children deserve protection from what he described as experimental and unproven medical interventions, stating that hospitals participating in federal programs should not conduct these procedures on youth. Dr. Marty Makary, serving as FDA Commissioner, echoed these concerns by announcing warning letters to 12 manufacturers and retailers of chest binders marketed for use by children with gender dysphoria. Makary warned that continued illegal marketing could lead to further enforcement actions, including import alerts, seizures, and injunctions.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/44944d80-7a1d-45af-9859-676ad04fabfc/74d13a9f-98c5-45ed-a12c-0edf73be0791-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/9taVcmqza56MhWgxv4oHts949002025-12-19T13:03:31.541ZMehmet OzMarty MakaryYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hDrSZERrHZg5irNZuvxKs9https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/a672ad37-abc4-451c-8d3a-8ba44ebfc1f4.jpgHHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'NeillHHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neillhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/86ccafca-539f-42d1-8580-ee439560d060/8f89b816-0d98-469b-9945-08d71234c51a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hDrSZERrHZg5irNZuvxKs9175002025-12-19T14:01:05.582ZJim O'NeillYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/3xLytydXXyRSXymY1xfKTXhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/66f13bea-aa36-40d3-bcb9-5a162ff00659.jpgChloe Cole: How “Gender-Affirming Care” Failed America’s ChildrenChloe Cole, a detransitioner and child-protection advocate, recounts how she was misled as a minor into undergoing irreversible medical interventions under the banner of “gender-affirming care.” She explains that adults outside her family convinced her that her natural personality and interests meant she was “born in the wrong body,” framing God’s design of her sex as a mistake to be corrected by medicine.. At age 13, Cole was placed on puberty blockers and high-dose testosterone, and by age 15 she underwent a double mastectomy. She emphasizes that these procedures permanently damaged her physical health and robbed her of the ability to breastfeed future children—decisions made before she was mature enough to understand their lifelong consequences. Her questions about fertility and long-term health went unanswered by the medical professionals who approved the interventions Cole describes the profound grief and loss she continues to carry, even as she speaks publicly. At 16, she rejected the ideology she had been taught, detransitioned, and chose to warn others about what she describes as unscientific and unethical medical experimentation on children. She now advocates to ensure that no child has to endure similar harm She highlights recent policy and legal developments, including state laws protecting minors, executive actions taken under President Trump, progress in her own lawsuit, and a peer-reviewed HHS report questioning these interventions. Cole argues that there is no such thing as being “born in the wrong body” and affirms that every child deserves to be loved and protected as they were created. She closes by encouraging struggling young people to reject destructive ideology and embrace their God-given identity, expressing gratitude that her voice—and the voices of others like her—are finally being heardhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/14a1cb93-1df6-4df0-8011-88f62368b9f1/21ccf0cd-a1fc-4c0b-b213-e276edb66339-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/3xLytydXXyRSXymY1xfKTX464002025-12-19T15:01:51.262ZChloe ColeYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/pammf9MiBbqNGkiEsaNUPMhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/500f7040-f2b3-4ece-ad8e-699214467c5a.jpgDr. Jay BhattacharyaDr. Jay Bhattacharyahttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/bb906c74-2d33-4b09-9d73-0f6f2d74ac23/063a40f7-aff6-46a6-8c5a-88c108c2b961-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/pammf9MiBbqNGkiEsaNUPM420002025-12-19T15:01:22.896ZDr. Jay BhattacharyaYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/3D8aFdpvaaW7ko947HwbXYhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/64115f45-f689-4fa1-aefd-8cf1441c3541.jpgNothing is more beautiful than family ❤️ #shortsNothing is more beautiful than family ❤️ #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/156136a9-9b11-4fdc-a044-7bcf6dc6bcd6/ffd3998c-408d-488b-a641-9fce742dccf7-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/3D8aFdpvaaW7ko947HwbXY5002025-12-19T16:01:00.160ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/tD2J4KU79YE83hHV3wEweYhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/70ffa794-d1db-41d8-9e02-d58dfe70260d.jpgPhenomenal speech from Riley Gaines Barker at TPUSA’s 2025 AmFest #shortsPhenomenal speech from Riley Gaines Barker at TPUSA’s 2025 AmFest #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/dfd25397-d7f2-4f41-ab78-8222c4540c32/4ece192e-acb0-4827-9530-f17174028c98-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/tD2J4KU79YE83hHV3wEweY35002025-12-22T15:01:01.586ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/fR6FachVetBq4K1qtbXtzphttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/164aec54-c0c3-4398-9cbd-bff93bb87b46.jpgTPUSA's AmericaFest Poll: Islam, the Border, and the GOP’s Top PrioritiesA straw poll at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in December 2025 sent a clear signal about the GOP’s direction. Vice President JD Vance dominated the 2028 presidential straw poll, winning 84.2%—far ahead of Marco Rubio (4.8%) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (2.9%). TPUSA officials noted that Vance’s margin surpassed even Donald Trump’s 2024 AmericaFest victory. Attendees also made their priorities clear. Nearly two-thirds said winning the 2026 midterms should be the movement’s top focus. Border security topped the list of Trump-era accomplishments, followed by deportations. Support for enforcement was overwhelming: 90% favored an immigration moratorium, and voter-integrity laws ranked among top concerns. On foreign policy, 86.7% viewed Israel as an ally, while “radical Islam” was identified as the greatest threat to America—a theme emphasized by the late Charlie Kirk. Ending the war in Ukraine ranked last.

In this segment, Seth forcefully explained how the wicked practice of child sacrifice (abortion), combined with unrestrained sexual license, is driving the moral decline of our culture. CrossPolitic is a Christian media ministry based in Moscow, Idaho, dedicated to engaging faith, culture, and politics through the clarity of the gospel. Their content pushes into taboo territory to confront the spiritual confusion of modern America. The hosts include Gabriel Rench (Waterboy), Deleaone Shannon (Chocolate Knox), and Pastor Toby Sumpter. https://crosspolitic.com/about/ Seth Gruber is a leading pro-life voice who has spoken over 300 times to more than half a million people. He hosts The Seth Gruber Show (formerly UnAborted with Seth Gruber), traveling nationally to educate the public, expose the arguments for life, and mobilize the Church against the great evil of abortion. He is also the founder of The White Rose Resistance, a national movement focused on awakening the Church to the urgency of ending abortion in the United States. https://thewhiterose.life/ The TPUSA AmericaFest conference took place December 18–21, 2025, at the Phoenix Convention Center in Arizona, drawing a record crowd of 30,000 attendees.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b6f30d64-4a1c-4ca0-934e-d0053e29ae1d/8ed84fe0-bb91-429d-86b0-a66a965e01f0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/oAioiD1Lh17rLCeQwoTreg160002026-01-03T12:01:07.017ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/jn1W9T15ALHFu8qnDGTuYKhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/a387ad61-bbf5-44fd-9977-5c5c4aafd893.jpgMarijuana usage and homelessness go hand in hand 🤝 #shortsMarijuana usage and homelessness go hand in hand 🤝 #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/94b3b0c1-1fe9-4b77-8a11-656a28a15fa3/5a9defaa-0f79-413e-8a8f-143948b43b04-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/jn1W9T15ALHFu8qnDGTuYK69002026-01-05T14:01:01.838ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/n5RTvF23PX3mHZ3SX7i5qchttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/672a949a-be7f-4533-8482-16f974a384fd.jpgIt’s simple.

As we observe God’s design for babies in the womb, consider giving to your local pregnancy care center so that they can continue to offer support to moms who are in desperate need of resources and hope.

In this short segment we hear the testa money of Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath, a neuroscientist, educator, and best-selling author specializing in human learning, brain development, and educational neuroscience. Dr. Horvath presented evidence that increased classroom screen time is associated with declining cognitive performance in children, including reduced literacy, numeracy, attention, and higher-order reasoning. He emphasized that Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform their parents on nearly all cognitive measures, despite spending more time in school and using more technology. Dr. Horvath argued that the core issue is a biological mismatch: human cognition evolved to learn through human interaction and analog methods, not through screens. He warned that digital tools are redefining learning to suit technology rather than the other way around, such as reducing reading comprehension to skimming short, isolated sentences.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/41c20e17-ecd0-4048-ab4b-4473ce34888e/1b4a5f4a-4ab3-4d2b-8257-a3c6824b0e26-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/97XXmKU98TokJ8JRncBcX5297002026-01-17T01:01:23.064ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/k1PhGCheFpHG3PNumAuodHhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/3b12443a-d815-4276-abd9-5ebbb88d07a0.jpgA Wake-Up Call for Parents on Screens and KidsThe U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation—chaired by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX)—held a high-profile hearing titled “Kids’ Screen Time” on January 15, 2026, examining the growing impact of social media and personal devices on America’s youth. Emily Cherkin, author and founder of The Screentime Consultant, is a nationally recognized advocate for tech-intentional parenting and education. In this short video clip, she warned about the risks of excessive screen time and the growing harms of educational technology (EdTech), arguing that digital tools are fundamentally reshaping childhood and steadily eroding parental authority. Cherkin called for a tech-intentional design code for EdTech that prioritizes informed consent, child development, and skill-building before screens, while rejecting the monetization of children’s data and attention. She emphasized that the core problem is not poor parenting, but the addictive, profit-driven design of modern technology. She also cautioned that emerging AI “companion” apps may pose even greater risks to children than social media itself and urged Congress to enact meaningful safeguards. Her advocacy is informed by her experience as a former middle-school teacher, a parent of two, co-founder of the Student Data Privacy Project, and author of The Screentime Solution: A Judgment-Free Guide to Becoming a Tech-Intentional Family.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/99fac6da-3aa7-40b4-bf07-47c3b8d119f9/34e497d2-8334-4f9c-ab88-b9b493738253-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/k1PhGCheFpHG3PNumAuodH321002026-01-17T01:01:47.497ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ojXYHgDKsFdWMUdikmtJSZhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/efeb0d23-8ffd-401a-ada4-d03edeeebc47.jpgIt’s always concerning when an OB/GYN can’t define what a woman is. #shortsIt’s always concerning when an OB/GYN can’t define what a woman is. #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b4ceef98-2ba7-42e9-9552-62a83a2e2c0d/82fb9d96-559b-47ac-a95f-1df5478f11bf-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ojXYHgDKsFdWMUdikmtJSZ30002026-01-19T14:01:01.867ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ojLYqN4UGSxJEFzHXivm5Lhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/69fed240-a3a3-4ee3-bacd-15197a1e9ce7.jpgTime to find a new OB/GYN #shortsTime to find a new OB/GYN #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b4c82766-6ba8-450c-955a-969b2c597f9c/99c49942-ddb6-4096-a2f9-f6ebc4999a54-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ojLYqN4UGSxJEFzHXivm5L33002026-01-20T14:01:01.235ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/wfdvdBvJVjMuuVVyLb2uVXhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/99cf9fa4-f4e7-47a9-b4bf-0d2e91da4b0c.jpgPredatory Gambling in IllinoisIllinois didn’t stumble into gambling expansion — it built it.

In his Chicago's Morning Answer radio program, Dan Proft explores the problem of government-sponsored gambling.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4ee473d-f10c-439e-83e4-0b8c1a2069f1/0d3ea178-feba-4d97-9e1d-95ecfdcc5680-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/wfdvdBvJVjMuuVVyLb2uVX1330002026-01-20T15:01:49.668ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vGKPaaC8hWfnGGE2ZBZWVXhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/4d78b9e9-e783-4fb6-830b-436a4577498e.jpgClearly not just a “clump of cells.” #shortsClearly not just a “clump of cells.” #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f089c5cf-df66-45b9-b6a1-661a24d78fc9/99b43db0-78ab-4ad8-bd23-c3e0fdc3ec01-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vGKPaaC8hWfnGGE2ZBZWVX14002026-01-21T14:01:00.321ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6C5dBy87CbsFwZ8Es6a7jBhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6d7703c8-4d77-4776-9179-2caa495e00de.jpgU.S. Senate Hearing on the Dangers of Chemical Abortion DrugsThe U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) held a hearing this week examining the real and growing dangers of chemical abortion drugs—particularly mifepristone, the first drug in the abortion pill regimen. Committee Chair Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), opened the hearing by highlighting the trauma and serious injuries many women have suffered after taking the abortion pill—harm often dismissed after women were assured the drug was “safe.” Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill testified that the Biden Administration, through the FDA, has deliberately undermined the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision by allowing abortion pills to be distributed nationwide by mail. She argued this policy is unlawful, medically irresponsible, and has resulted in real harm to women and the unborn—especially in pro-life states like Louisiana. The committee also heard testimony from Dr. Chireau Wubbenhorst of the University of Notre Dame, who detailed the ethical and medical dangers associated with chemical abortion drugs. In contrast, Dr. Nisha Verma of Physicians for Reproductive Health defended mifepristone, insisting that “the science is settled” on its safety and effectiveness. That phrase alone should raise red flags. When politicians or activists declare “the science is settled,” it usually signals ideology, not honesty. The growing evidence of harm, coercion, and abuse should give any sincere advocate for women serious pause.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2d871170-aa43-40b7-8b37-e8ac60169a07/52868224-c45d-4a55-94a1-0647b24b7a29-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6C5dBy87CbsFwZ8Es6a7jB6508002026-01-21T19:05:59.630ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/tdkmC6dmyHbvqZzef6q9tmhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1cbea9e7-87dd-4d7d-86c4-f187115f3d8e.jpgPastor Jim Scudder: The Price of LifeIn The Price of Life, Pastor Jim Scudder reflects on the true value of human life by asking a simple but profound question: What is the price tag on a human soul? Drawing from personal experiences with orphaned and vulnerable children in China, Thailand, and Myanmar, he contrasts the world’s tendency to assign worth based on utility with God’s declaration that every human life has intrinsic, eternal value. Scripture makes clear that mankind is uniquely created in the image of God and given a soul that will never die. This value applies equally to the orphan, the elderly, the disabled, and the unborn. Pastor Scudder connects this biblical truth to the sanctity of life, confronting abortion, assisted suicide, and laws that devalue the most vulnerable. Through Scripture and the powerful testimony of abortion survivor Claire Culwell, he demonstrates that life begins at conception and that God calls His people to choose life, defend the innocent, and extend grace and healing to those wounded by abortion. The message concludes with a call to action: support pregnancy resource centers, oppose unjust laws, care for the fatherless, and faithfully uphold the sanctity of human life from conception to natural death This Sancitity of Human Life Sunday message was delievered at Quentin Road Baptist Church on January 18, 2026.

And that’s what’s so different about this moment compared to the moment that was dominated by the Supreme Court for 50 years. "We’re not trying to argue to the Supreme Court anymore. We are trying to persuade our fellow citizens that we must build up that culture of life. And as you know, that effort is going to take a lot of time, a lot of energy, and a little bit of money. And that’s why we’re here, because you know that we’re marching for life because we want our wonderful fellow Americans, even if they ... disagree with us, to know that life is worthy. It is worthy of protection. And that is why we march today." He went on to say: “The far left in this country tells our young people that marriage and children are obstacles, that it's irresponsible, even. Immoral, because of climate change or some.” “We here at this March, we know that it's a lie. We know that life is a gift, that babies are precious because. We know them and we love them. We see the way that they can transform our families.” “We know that family is not just the source of a great joy, It's part of God's design for men and women, a design that extends outward.” "You’re never going to find great meaning in. A cubicle or in front of a computer screen, but you will find great meaning if you dedicate yourself to the creation and sustenance of human life.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/e5f023ed-2c7a-42bd-bd1f-d79e89f1150c/85f1121c-5b4b-423d-9e15-81a85c96ac58-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/uoQvxhsraNF8ABBFfgpXAm1365002026-01-24T15:02:27.010ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/751PoMNdN1ax6ax9rm7YEohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7de4e559-7bc5-4f05-9276-ea283640d943.jpgU.S. House Speaker Johnson at the 2026 March for LifeU.S. House Speaker Johnson spoke at the 53rd annual March for Life on the National Mall.

With the Working Families Tax Cuts, we passed the most pro-life and pro-family legislation that has been signed into law in decades, and we did it on July 4th last year,” Speaker Johnson said. “This group of legislators behind me and all of our colleagues, we worked hard to expand the child tax credit, to enhance the adoption tax credit, and we launched the first of its kind Trump investment accounts for every newborn in America.”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/31264f83-fb91-400e-8c99-4d3efe316de2/6f97b110-8429-46c6-b875-0033180149c0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/751PoMNdN1ax6ax9rm7YEo576002026-01-24T15:01:31.440ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ssWVSXZxVyztaMLsuw7xadhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/0831d012-4e7d-4bf9-a54e-e5a5978545af.jpgIf you don’t want cops to shoot you, don’t shoot cops. #shortsIf you don’t want cops to shoot you, don’t shoot cops. #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d650cb5a-1d83-47f7-b85b-30ac17473742/7e46cce9-7836-4aa2-8231-6389c6124106-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ssWVSXZxVyztaMLsuw7xad17002026-01-26T15:01:00.660ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/mktddcCo3aQ9DALVukuNayhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/e3f1ef27-b88b-46a4-906c-61ccd6dc3350.jpgOur right to life is from God Himself 👣 #shortsOur right to life is from God Himself 👣 #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/a4aeac85-67a7-4b24-be9c-483213f89df2/76fb155a-8ba6-44aa-a698-2a0198f7e753-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/mktddcCo3aQ9DALVukuNay16002026-01-27T14:01:02.748ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/gxzsLPCtrMrHFoRMpjae5Nhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/00e484da-80b5-473e-aae7-a471e0e2fc0f.jpgEvery life is valuable 👣❤️ #shortsEvery life is valuable 👣❤️ #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7de1c21a-445f-4f78-8b08-8b023e6b9792/1093dc42-1e25-4f3f-b846-1e4b65a47bce-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/gxzsLPCtrMrHFoRMpjae5N10002026-01-28T16:00:59.945ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/bxUzfeSbDGcrB7zedgEGX8https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/ba994645-9b1c-429f-94c7-da48598222c2.jpgMatt Walsh: I Changed My Mind About Online Gambling & MarijuanaMatt Walsh: I Changed My Mind About Online Gambling & Marijuanahttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/556fd7c5-5019-4bd1-85a7-e9a2300b1f3d/e7f56515-212b-4a17-9b0d-fe0474022cad-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/bxUzfeSbDGcrB7zedgEGX81499002026-01-30T14:01:55.601ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/vWLRGubAGcftxXwoW4PUFShttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/0bd03a48-2fdc-4cd4-9aeb-2c807e82f81e.jpgThis man deserved to be a dad 💔 #shortsThis man deserved to be a dad 💔 #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f27ed428-887f-4e8e-80ff-86d066db4620/0a927a21-9727-45ba-b864-d99aa59d77c9-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/vWLRGubAGcftxXwoW4PUFS23002026-01-30T18:01:02.087ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/ctCubotn9Z56ocP82Qg96Ahttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/00aa1cfd-2fe7-401d-bd25-3c257bff865f.jpgOverturn Obergefell #shortsOverturn Obergefell #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5cf0179d-ce13-42f1-a79d-fdf4bb619f9c/64b15f0e-c8e7-45cb-bcab-39b55e1112bb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ctCubotn9Z56ocP82Qg96A26002026-02-02T15:01:08.598ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/5i8G9xjDZv2QyAkphgFmaEhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/eda23626-9d01-46cb-99b9-f3befda52f06.jpgOverturn Obergefell. #shortsOverturn Obergefell. #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/22c8f070-4089-42d7-a0a4-c0f29ecff448/81dbac14-5b45-4919-a5f4-38fe74d127fb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/5i8G9xjDZv2QyAkphgFmaE27002026-02-04T14:01:00.274ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/4e92QfUQuVhsKCtkyXDkvXhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/c30ab3bc-7ff6-4fee-8bf4-2e123394d091.jpgEvery Nation Will Give An Account Before the LordDr. Alberth Mohler, in his Daily Briefing commentary, reflects on a statement made by President Donald Trump suggesting that his only moral limit is his own mind. Dr. Mohler warns that such reasoning is dangerous if applied broadly. While acknowledging the unique constitutional authority of the presidency and the context in which the statement was made, Dr. Mohler stresses that no individual is above moral judgment. Power, even when concentrated in a single office, does not remove accountability before God. From a Christian perspective, the idea that one’s own morality is the final authority is fundamentally flawed. Christians understand that they are not governed by personal judgment alone but are bound by a higher law—the law of God, revealed through both creation and Scripture. What might be asserted in a narrow political context becomes unacceptable as a general moral principle. Therefore, Christians must reject the notion of self-defined moral limits and reaffirm their submission to God’s objective and transcendent moral authority.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/1a2108dd-943d-49a0-ad90-4c35e045f6ed/b6296090-44cf-45c4-95e0-d847698e4fd0-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/4e92QfUQuVhsKCtkyXDkvX68002026-02-04T21:01:03.646ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/paFv8ey6oQ3eNSmgLzYoeDhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d3e614c5-8ea5-4cd6-a3f6-27d515d8be74.jpgGay marriage victimizes children.

Abby Johnson once served as a Planned Parenthood clinic director but grew increasingly troubled by what she witnessed. Abortion was treated as a product to be sold—not a tragedy to be reduced. After confronting the reality of abortion, Abby experienced a profound transformation and sought help from a local pro-life group. She committed her life to defending the preborn and exposing the abortion industry for what it truly is. Today, Abby speaks worldwide, educating the public, advocating for life in the womb, and reaching out to abortion clinic workers. Part of her personal testimony includes her own expericene with having abortions. She is the founder of And Then There Were None, which has helped more than 740 abortion workers leave the industry since 2012. In 2019, she also founded ProLove Ministries to support and strengthen pro-life efforts. Abby lives in Texas with her husband and eight children.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/00cace4b-c626-4f73-a059-68a3d1457ff0/22d5da2f-4be9-41f7-ac4f-ce8be9394f0c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/16F5VYCaAox7VtxbFkNx4E310002026-02-06T14:01:24.436ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/rL1wJaxwxAGi2aF5USeHTVhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d1c5574c-b2f1-46b7-99f5-c05b10c005b6.jpgAdoption is an OptionThe 2026 Super Bowl featured this powerful pro-life ad.

During a recent radio interview, State Representative Bill Hauter — a physician and legislator — warned that House Bill 4596, dubbed the “Health Misinformation Act,” could empower government agencies to police speech, train “trusted messengers,” and potentially impose civil or criminal penalties for statements officials deem “misinformation.” Supporters claim the measure would combat harmful medical falsehoods.

Unless Congress and the American people confront this reality head-on, the incremental advance of political Islam will continue to erode our constitutional freedoms.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/6be6f6ee-59b0-4a34-b3cb-67e8ac8bda57/b631e2b5-b667-4684-a616-b82458cfff5a-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/ejNG4kQrrdnG82UzgPQZW8323002026-02-14T22:01:10.109ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/j2Toz5qzbAiYD5o1WLo4Wmhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/cce9ebfc-39fe-416d-baa8-0e548788f492.jpgKrista Schild: Political Islam and Constitutional ConflictKrista Schild is the Texas Director of RAIR Foundation USA, a grassroots organization that works as a counter-group to "Sharia and Marxist threat organizations." She is a vocal critic of Islamic institutions and development projects in Texas. On February 10, 2026, she testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, during a hearing titled: “Sharia-Free America: Why Political Islam & Sharia Law Are Incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.” Schild argues that political Islam (not just personal religious practice) seeks to establish legal, cultural, and institutional systems based on Sharia law that conflict with American constitutional principles. Her main claims are that: -Sharia-based governance is fundamentally incompatible with American law -Islamist movements pursue long-term cultural and institutional influence -Some legal and social developments already show this influence -Government action is needed to prevent expansion of Sharia-based systemshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/9207e8ca-21a6-4611-b297-653f7cf9b6ac/cee60928-75af-4c27-9022-9bbe5828fbc1-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/j2Toz5qzbAiYD5o1WLo4Wm295002026-02-15T00:01:08.379ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/gzDDzMYfc7cY2kLFcoxTr1https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/aa745e12-c199-4350-94d2-4a0d233cffda.jpgRobert Spencer: Islamic Youth Radicalization and Sharia LawDuring a congressional hearing on February 10, 2026, U.S. Represetative Mark Harris (R-NC), asks witness Robert Spencer about the radicalization of young people. Rep. Harris focused on how ideological indoctrination, particularly through political Islam and Sharia law, could lead to the radicalization of youth in the U.S. He pressed Spencer on the mechanisms by which young people are drawn into extremist ideologies, including the role of online propaganda, religious education, and foreign influence. Mr. Spencer emphasized that Sharia is not merely personal religious practice, but a comprehensive political and legal system that promotes supremacism and jihad, citing authoritative Islamic texts like Reliance of the Traveller. He argued that mainstream Islamic doctrine, not just extremist interpretations, encourages the establishment of Sharia in non-Muslim lands, which can serve as a foundation for radicalization. Mr. Spencer warned that young Muslims exposed to these teachings—especially through unmonitored online content or community networks—may be radicalized not as "outliers," but as fervent adherents to core Islamic principles. He pointed to CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) and Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations as promoting a gradualist strategy to normalize Sharia in the U.S., which he believes contributes to ideological grooming. Rep. Harris echoed concerns about ideological infiltration in schools and institutions, drawing parallels to other forms of ideological extremism. The exchange underscored a broader conservative narrative that political Islam poses a unique threat to American constitutional values and youth.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/7e2bd361-0d48-4fba-b04c-6f015c6e02ae/c9006837-c03c-438d-800e-49bc96c7aeb3-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/gzDDzMYfc7cY2kLFcoxTr1325002026-02-15T02:01:19.215ZYESIllinois

Consistency of Equal Protection for Preborn BabiesMatt Walsh rightly notes the logical consistency of equal protection laws for preborn children — if abortion is murder, it must be criminalized. “The logic is unassailable here. Either unborn babies are human beings, or they aren’t. If they are, then killing them is murder. If killing them is murder, then there should be criminal prosecutions.” “The only way you don’t end up with the same conclusion as the people who wrote this bill is if you disagree with the first proposition, which is that unborn babies are humans. But if you agree with that proposition, I don’t see how you can logically end up any other place. It’s inevitable. It’s logically inevitable.” We are grateful for the strong voice of Matt Walsh.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/63cef1b7-4934-490a-a648-0084e20a725e/f24f3ff9-3d1d-4420-b803-0a2b2c9bc6bb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/djQviEymACfssfDpsekm2d453002026-02-25T20:01:15.194ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/cQQL9ihjv2xASfQTS2J3aJhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/f00dbc8e-f4ad-4092-9e6f-6252307bd3b6.jpgGet your kids out of public schools 🏫 #shortsGet your kids out of public schools 🏫 #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/5fe646bc-197c-4b83-a70d-b356f249d61c/34c2fae7-f052-47ec-8f2a-42d1c1e8c881-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/cQQL9ihjv2xASfQTS2J3aJ34002026-02-26T14:01:00.744ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/hXwrnsxgNg3sPY9vQZFCQGhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/da7e7e0b-7509-4925-8ff1-c0ccb7b36e1a.jpgThe IVF process kills more babies than Planned Parenthood. 💔 #shortsThe IVF process kills more babies than Planned Parenthood. 💔 #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/8952e235-b68d-43ea-aa32-14e0f9e4c600/be8b9815-b266-456b-9e6a-56ef995864bb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/hXwrnsxgNg3sPY9vQZFCQG38002026-02-27T13:01:01.837ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/v46cyyCVfPkdzz4SK6Lquhhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/6ed81351-907a-4ec4-88eb-6797bd772986.jpgEpstein’s Elite Relationships Reveal the Deep State Behind the Deep StateNew evidence and testimony are raising serious questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s high-level financial and political connections.

That’s why every Christian parent, grandparent, and pastor must be intentional about giving the next generation a firm foundation in the Word of God. Dr. Barna reminds us that the central mission of every Christian is not to produce churchgoers or “good people,” but to make true disciples of Jesus Christ. A real disciple is someone who thinks like Jesus, lives like Jesus, and helps others do the same—and that is only possible through a biblical worldview. A person’s worldview shapes every decision they make. It determines the values they hold, directs their behavior, and ultimately defines their identity—either rooted in self or in Christ. In the end, worldview is not a side issue. It sets the trajectory for our lives, our families, our churches, and our culture.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/f4a8379c-a57f-4abe-95e2-a0f3c4ba86fa/cff0058a-4658-45d9-a877-07946c524979-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/wdfPtgqCgFhpxDFCn1NVho321001392026-03-22T21:54:57.443ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/v8an6a6CvypmDzygsDdw44https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/2b9f0ee0-4233-4eae-884a-6d9b5676bb3f.jpgDr. George Barna: “Cultural Transformation Through Biblical Discipleship”Dr. George Barna: “Cultural Transformation Through Biblical Discipleship”https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/ebd8ff80-7e34-48ea-ba11-58ee8356b319/96f485c3-44de-440f-84d4-f85d840cce2e-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/v8an6a6CvypmDzygsDdw4437080562026-03-23T10:30:35.796ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/pN35YhrnnMhzZ84L3gtwaohttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/d8157c2a-9d19-485f-8712-01a09c783d45.jpgIllinois Republican Lawmakers Are Now Pushing for Mandatory Kindergarten?State Representatives Kevin Schmidt (R-Cahokia Heights) and Brandun Schweizer (R-Danville) held a press conference on Wednesday to push for mandatory kindergarten. Evidently no one has told them that conservatives oppose the expansion of government schools on our children - and that is especially true of homeschoolers. Forcing children into the system earlier will not fix what’s broken in education. More seat time does not equal better outcomes. In fact, it often means earlier exposure to the same systemic problems many families are already trying to avoid. Ask your state representative to vote against this bill, HB 4253, and the expanding role of government in affairs lives of Illinois families. Government should not be expanding its control over our children.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/c0afb01d-e193-4912-b122-437d07f0f540/0a17aacd-76ec-4193-b6aa-7b2e4cb6e262-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/pN35YhrnnMhzZ84L3gtwao309002026-03-25T22:25:49.772ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/pyzq8auA9XBauRYxf4jki8https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/de872222-a365-4f9e-8bc2-1d53da298099.jpgAbolish.

Blaine Wilhour Speaks Forcefully in Favor of Home EducationOn the annual Cherry Pie Day - a lobby day for Illinois Christian Home Educators, State Representative Blaine Wilhour (R-Louisville) delivers a bold and unapologetic defense of homeschool families on the House floor. He calls homeschool parents one of the most powerful forces in our state—and for good reason. These are families who have consistently stood up and pushed back against government overreach into their homes. Wilhour doesn’t hold back. He points out the failures of the government school system, calls out politicians for putting special interests ahead of parents, and makes the case that homeschooling is producing exactly what our culture desperately needs—critical thinkers and thriving young people. And he ends with a warning: if lawmakers try once again to regulate homeschool families, they should expect an even stronger response.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/0607cdab-37c5-4033-a60d-8815e1afa818/81746135-61c8-4b6c-9ed8-1056b3b71d93-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/1Kc4YRYERyJVHuZC9hka71260002026-03-26T18:25:44.259ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/sHK4dKpsTYgKCTuCZj1rC4https://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/0c3585cc-acfa-49f8-8193-c48f0b065db8.jpgAbolish Abortion. #shortsAbolish Abortion. #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/d861a235-c31e-477b-8dba-e39d2cd8f26f/ed3d2d2c-7c5d-47f3-91ad-fb5a3affe6cb-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/sHK4dKpsTYgKCTuCZj1rC410002026-03-27T13:25:37.359ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/93bq36KSzPvTSWxKCZaKjrhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/7cc36792-815d-4e1c-af57-9bfb1287e059.jpgWhat Abortion Reveals About Our Culture in AmericaThe death of convicted abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell brings renewed attention to one of the most disturbing criminal cases in American history. Gosnell was not imprisoned simply for performing illegal late-term abortions, but for the murder of babies who were born alive—killed outside the womb in acts the courts recognized as homicide. This case exposes a deeply troubling reality: even within our legal system, there is a sharp distinction between what is morally evil and what is legally punishable. Gosnell’s conviction was rare—not because the actions were unique, but because they crossed a legal line that could no longer be ignored. The discussion also highlights America’s growing moral confusion. Recent cases show a reluctance by prosecutors to hold anyone—especially mothers—accountable, even when a child dies after being born alive. Public opinion and legal arguments continue to blur the line between abortion and infanticide. As Christians, we cannot ignore these realities. The fight for the sanctity of human life remains urgent, and the cultural confusion surrounding it reveals just how much work lies aheadhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/411703d2-9e02-490f-9ef1-5dc0a3d1b7f1/c3d234b9-ad11-411a-b35d-f25f7341a0b5-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/93bq36KSzPvTSWxKCZaKjr597002026-03-27T15:26:19.869ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/6zvqniUVTp9PWG86BwcskHhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/76c085c5-2908-48c9-8754-a8b2d97919f7.jpgIslam is evil. 🚫🚫Islam is evil. 🚫🚫https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/2d2b5e56-853e-4497-83af-a5976dc2ef57/88405dc2-a849-49b9-b969-466cf6297fda-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/6zvqniUVTp9PWG86BwcskH68002026-03-29T00:25:40.041ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/oUH6pyy2dPNLPYukhkm8Zahttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/1381ed07-5e72-47ac-bdeb-3b7d8d080b9e.jpgOverturn Obergefell. #shortsOverturn Obergefell. #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/b9850d18-36d2-4023-8270-85268b8650ff/0691d2bb-f34d-4a1e-afc5-b2e1047eb07c-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/oUH6pyy2dPNLPYukhkm8Za7002026-03-30T11:25:37.631ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/9eAd4GmgJnEHkgvvw1pwLchttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/846ad063-6603-48db-b43e-1149d630d759.jpgThe U.S. Surrogacy System: A Growing National Security ThreatChinese billionaires and elites are increasingly using the United States’ permissive surrogacy system to have large numbers of children—sometimes dozens, or more—according to allegations made in Chinese media.https://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/42aedc16-5857-4566-9871-adb7ff8bfd53/a46235d6-b00f-4f93-a679-7b253a9222da-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/9eAd4GmgJnEHkgvvw1pwLc407002026-03-31T11:25:49.903ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/8q9MzzuSJWa93MtP1MQLgvhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/2f60b9f4-9f7a-4a8a-bf9b-7f8efc88f9aa.jpgThis baby deserves life 👣 #shortsThis baby deserves life 👣 #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/3c0f3c4e-353f-4649-95f5-2afc83728343/d238f2b9-269f-4c26-b42f-ca9c8f58acfc-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/8q9MzzuSJWa93MtP1MQLgv7002026-03-31T12:25:36.342ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/w/nGKnW7seWfhdXjySaimmqihttps://illinoisfamily.tv/lazy-static/thumbnails/fa7e4137-0ea5-4038-ae56-3b97ba8fafe9.jpgMarriage and family is the best #shortsMarriage and family is the best #shortshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/static/streaming-playlists/hls/afc06538-c08c-4b04-bfee-cab636a058a1/94d14f02-8ef2-4a43-9d45-fec3d5359fca-master.m3u8https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/embed/nGKnW7seWfhdXjySaimmqi69002026-04-01T13:25:38.260ZYESIllinois Family InstituteNOhttps://illinoisfamily.tv/c/illinois_family_institute_main/videoshttps://illinoisfamily.tv/a/illinois_family_institute/video-channels
