Today's podcast is a recording of a live panel on gender confusion and how moms (and dads!) can protect their kids from harmful messages and manipulation. One of the greatest threats facing young people today is radical gender ideology, and parents cannot ignore this issue. In media, schools, and even health care, children and teens are being pressured to explore their gender identity. Far from helping them, these confusing messages (like 70 different genders to choose from) are harmful to children. Our panel includes January Littlejohn, a mom of a young girl whose school hid her intention to transitiont from her parents; Attorney Mark Trammel, the executive director and general counsel to the Center for American Liberty; and Laura Perry Smalts, a woman who transitioned to male before an encounter with Christ that prompted her to detransition. You will learn so much from our panelists' personal stories and expertise.

Harrison Tinsley and his four-year-old son, Sawyer, love spending time together playing sports, wrestling, and getting outside. In the years since his son's birth, Harrison and Sawyer's mother have come to a shared custody arrangement. Sawyer's mother has come to identify as "non-binary," a new term in radical gender ideology that means not male or female. She is now trying to raise her son as non-binary, too. Harrison is adamant that his son knows he is a boy and loves being a boy. He is fighting for full custody to protect his son from a dangerous ideology that threatens his health and safety. How the court decides in cases like Harrison's can mean the difference between protecting the innocence of little children and allowing irreversible, lifelong damage. Never has it been a more important time to affirm parental rights.

Our culture is confused when it comes to gender. Nowhere is that more obvious than in the indoctrination aimed at encouraging gender confusion in children. We are starting to see the devastating results of irreversible decisions pushed on young children and teens. Ryan Bomberger joins the Moms for America Podcast to discuss how to teach children about healthy sexuality. Ryan and his wife, Bethany, have launched a new project teaching children about identity and God-given gender. Ryan is well known for his pro-life work through the Radiance Foundation. He and Bethany, parents to four children, previously wrote "Pro-Life Kids!" exploring what it means to respect and protect life. Now, their new books "He is He" and "She is She" celebrate the unique gifts of boys and girls. Affirming children as they are and countering the toxic messages from a confused culture, these resources are a great foundation for teaching children about who they are.

There is a new threat facing our school-aged children. Bullying has escalated, endangering lives. Conservative journalist Bill Robinson, known in the field as Relentless Bill Robinson, has taken on this issue and has a message for parents. A veteran journalist, formerly the only conservative columnist at the Huffington Post, Bill had traveled the world and reported on many current events. He never thought he'd set foot in a school board meeting. That all changed as Bill learned more about "suicide bullies," students who harrass their peers and encourage them to end their own lives. As he looked into the issue, Bill found this is happening at schools across the country, and many school administrators are turning a blind eye. Bill has become an advocate for children at risk, educating parents about the threat and demanding accountability from our schools. Listen in; this conversation could save a life.

When Amy Henry's sixth-grade daughter got to go back to school part-time after Covid lockdowns, she was thrilled. But what awaited her was a nightmare. She was targeted by bullies and viciously attacked. Instead of coming to her defense, school administrators sided with the bullies.

Amy had no background in politics and had taught middle school for years before taking time to raise her three children with her Air Force veteran husband. After her daughter's experience, Amy decided to run for the Idaho House of Representatives. With a focus on parental rights and protecting vulnerable children, Amy is running as an advocate for all Idahoans.

Christmas for many of us means time at home with friends and family, church services, gift-giving, and festive celebrations. For heroic Americans 200 years ago during the Revolutionary War, Christmas was a time of extreme deprivation and sacrifice.

Their courage in the face of unimaginable adversity ensured their victory over the British in upcoming battles. To these heroes, we owe our nation's freedom. Rick Green joins the podcast to share this incredible story, which is often forgotten in today's culture. Green’s mission is to help Americans understand our country’s Godly history and foundation. He travels the nation speaking and teaching on the U.S. Constitution. He’s the founder of the Torch of Freedom Foundation and the Patriot Academy. A husband, father, and grandfather, Green leads his family in the mission to restore patriotism in our nation.

In July 2020, we saw widespread, violent protest instigated by Black Lives Matter (BLM). Professional sports teams caved to public pressure and players knelt for the National Anthem. Some courageous patriots refused to disrespect our country, and our guest is one of those heroes. Jonathan Isaac is a power forward for the Orlando Magic. In 2017, Jonathan was selected sixth overall by the Magic in the NBA draft. When his teammates wore black and chose to kneel for the National Anthem, Jonathan, a man of faith, refused to betray his conscience. Wearing his team uniform, he remained standing out of respect for our nation. In addition to an impressive basketball career, Jonathan is a husband, father, author, and speaker. Because of his Christian faith, Jonathan believes that God is the only answer to the world’s pain and division. Therefore, in July of 2020, he could not support the NBA’s league-wide demonstration and support for BLM. Hear his story of courageous patriotism and faith.

In this episode of the podcast, we are talking with two moms who represent countless other parents facing the same battle. Josie and Dee (not their real names) are two moms with children who identify as trans. To protect their privacy their faces have been blurred.

The group of parents recently published a book by the same name. Their stories will shock you and open your eyes to the greatest threat facing our young people today. These courageous mothers also offer hope. When teachers, administrators, doctors, and the media are against them, they still choose to fight for what is best for their children, not go along with the gender confusion craze that has already claimed so many lives.

Radical activists are increasingly seeking to ignore women. Female athletes face discrimination, moms are told that they do not have a say in their children's education, and women are under increasing threat. Feminism, the very movement that was supposed to ensure women's equality and success, has led to a world in which women are being erased. To understand this topic, we're talking with Carrie Gress, a scholar, wife, and mother, whose latest book, "The End of Woman," explores this topic. Gress is the author of 10 books and the founder and co-editor of the online women's magazine Theology of Home. If you have ever been drawn to being a traditional wife and mother or if you have ever struggled to understand the feminist movement, you will be enlightened by this conversation!

Amber Lavigne, a mom in Maine, was shocked to discover that her daughter's school hid critical information from her. When Amber's daughter sought mental health counseling at school, she was encouraged to change her gender identity and keep it secret from her family.

Concerned for her daughter's health and safety and the other students in the school, Amber went public and sued. Amber and her attorney, Adam Shelton with the Goldwater Institute, join the Moms for America Podcast to discuss the case. Parents across the country are facing similar discoveries. We believe that our schools are partners in helping our children thrive. However, when radical activists take over classrooms and school administration, our children are at risk.

Before Mayra Rodriguez became one of the leading Hispanic pro-life voices in the United States., she was Planned Parenthood's star employee. Mayra's story is one of incredible transformation. Coming to the United States from Mexico, she wanted to live out the American dream. She thought that included taking a job at Planned Parenthood, America's largest abortion business. After she witnessed falsified documentation, dangerous abortion complications, and failure to report crimes at the affiliate she led in Arizona, Mayra took a stand. As a whistleblower, Mayra went public with the crimes and maltreatment taking place at Planned Parenthood. When Planned Parenthood fired her, she sued and won for wrongful termination. Her story shows the need to be a voice for the voiceless and to defend the most vulnerable. So many moms will relate to her story of courage and conviction.
