Laurie, senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Southern California, had initially scheduled a 2027 Harvest Crusade in Salt Lake City at the request of local evangelical churches there, but Kirk’s death gave impetus to Harvest and local church leaders to move the date up and change the location to the campus about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.

“Poland has both the sovereign prerogative and the duty to protect all innocent human life. Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal acted courageously to protect children with disabilities from discrimination before birth—a goal fully consistent with international human rights law.”

“As president, I will always stand for … religious liberty. We stand for religious liberty. The Bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans. It’s so important and it’s so big in the Bible. As we make America great again, we are going to protect American children in foster care and we are going to make sure that these children are never ever forgotten.”

“For so long,” he said, “the message to government employees, to teachers, really to anyone in the public arena, is ‘No religion is allowed.’ So I think that a simple demand letter can shed light on that particular lie. … For years, the Supreme Court and other courts have acknowledged that private citizens directing private displays, like Susan is, has always been not just permitted but encouraged by the Constitution.”

“We didn’t refuse to stand on the podium out of hate,” Anderson told Fox News. “We did it because someone has to say this isn’t right. In order to protect the integrity and fairness of girls sports we must stand up for what is right.”

Now, Kirk’s death seemingly has energized thousands to take up the causes he stood for. “I’m seeing John 12:24 being lived out,” Hertzberg said. “Jesus said, ‘I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.’ We are seeing that in so many ways.”

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, shared a word of encouragement with Christians following Tuesday’s elections. “I know the election results from coast to coast were not positive,” he began. “My hope is not based on politics; it’s not even based on our government. It’s based on the never changing, eternal promises of God.” 

“In a democracy, no one should fear criminal prosecution for expressing their faith,” said Coleman. “This case is about far more than one tweet—it is about whether quoting the Bible is permissible in modern Finland. The Supreme Court now has the opportunity to affirm the foundational freedoms that protect everyone, regardless of belief.”

“The district’s inconsistent policies demonstrate that the seniors’ messages on the parking spots in Academy School District 20, including those at Rampart, are private speech, not government speech,” First Liberty wrote in a letter to Superintendent Jinger Haberer and Principal Meghan Sanders on Oct. 22. “Therefore, the district cannot deny Ms. Shumaker’s private, religious speech without violating the First Amendment.”

Kevin Duffy, the former director of pro-abortion organization MSI Reproductive Choices, conducted the analysis on the NHS report. Duffy, who abandoned the pro-abortion agenda and became a pro-life researcher, has repeatedly spoken on the dangers of the abortion pill. “From about 2015-2016, MSI began to emphasize a strategic push towards self-managed medical abortion, supplying abortion drugs through pharmacies.”

“It is being reported that he was taken north to areas controlled by an offshoot of ISIS. The State Department said it is a top priority of the Trump Administration to look after the safety of every American, and they are supporting his recovery and safe return. Would you pray for his protection and that he will be released unharmed and able to come home?”

“In response to such abhorrent acts, as provided throughout USCIRF’s 2025 Annual Report, the U.S. government should strengthen its advocacy on behalf of individuals persecuted in foreign countries on account of their religion or belief, including those who have suffered torture or other ill treatment,” report concluded.

“I’ve been able to able to benefit from other people and other cases that established my rights and freedoms,” Olivier said. “And I want to be able to do that for those coming after me. It is important to fight these battles even though it doesn’t make for a comfortable, quiet or peaceful life.”
