On January 22nd, 2024 - Pastor Matt Trewhella testified before a Wisconsin State Legislative Committee. Here is his 5-minute testimony which included being interrupted by a legislator. In January, Robin Vos, Republican Speaker of the Assembly – along with 39 Republican legislators introduced AB975 which declared you can murder the preborn in Wisconsin up to 14 weeks. Understand - nearly 95% of all abortions committed in Wisconsin are done by 14 weeks. The bill was introduced on January 19th - and the public hearing was held three days later on January 22nd. They had a full a vote by the legislature on January 25th. A total of 53 Republicans – led by Robin Vos - voted to murder 95% of the preborn. They wanted no opposition to the bill. Isn't it ironic that the Republicans - who told us they couldn't defend the preborn for nearly 50 years because of Roe v. Wade – held their hearing on their bill to murder the preborn on the anniversary of Roe v. Wade - January 22nd? About 40 people who oppose the murder of the preborn gathered at Room 417N in Wisconsin's capitol building to speak against the bill AB975. Each person was given three minutes to speak. The pro-life legislators said awful things. Pastor Matt was interrupted by a loud flaming pro-abort legislator who yelled out loud because I kept referring to the killing of the preborn as “murder.” Two Republican assemblymen - Chuck Wichgers and Janel Brandtjen - actually took time to come to the hearing to address their fellow Republicans and publicly oppose the bill. We give thanks to God for them. Because of the weakness displayed by the Republicans – the Affiliated deathcamp - knowing the government officials are not going to uphold our state anti-abortion law 940.04 – reopened on Tuesday, March 5th. We were there to speak up for the little ones. All of the deathcamps in Wisconsin have now reopened and are murdering the preborn. Here is a sermon Pastor Matt preached in January entitled: Blood in Wisconsin – 2024. The url is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=damfrliLqA0&t=325s wherein I address AB975. We pray it is a blessing to your heart and mind. We must quit compromising with murder. We must uphold the law of God and not waver. Thank you to all of you who took time to write to your legislators to oppose this bill. And thank you for your financial support to our efforts!

This is a 5-minute animated video which defines and explains the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. Please share it everywhere! The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates provides the best means to rein in a higher authority that has abused its authority and spurned its limitations. The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates is rooted in Scripture and found throughout the history of mankind. The Doctrine offers great hope to a nation of people who groan under the yoke of tyrannical behavior by the State. The Lesser Magistrate Doctrine declares that when the superior or higher ranking civil authority makes unjust or immoral laws, policies, or court opinions - the lower or lesser ranking civil authority has both the God-given right and duty to interpose and refuse obedience to that superior authority. If necessary, the lesser authorities may even actively resist the higher authority.

To stay informed and rally with others against tyranny – contact us here at https://defytyrants.com/contact/ . America’s founders established this nation as a true federalism. In a true federalism there are multiple levels of government and multiple branches on each level. They did this because they held to a Christian view of man – that he is wicked and in need of a Savior, namely Jesus Christ. They did not want power to rest in one man or a small group of men. The founders established a federalism so the various branches would check the others if they acted wrongly. The intent, therefore, of federalism is: if any one branch begins to play the tyrant, it is the duty of the other branches to interpose and resist that branch – and stop the evil. (The duty of the people is to rally with the interposing magistrates). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POpWXpOvmtw&t=2s

On July 29th, 2023, Christians gathered at a Drag Queen Show for children in order to declare God's law, Word, and Gospel to those attending the event. It was held outside at the Riverside Park in Watertown, Wisconsin. The police - rather than arresting those sexualizing children - arrested four Christians who were exercising their first amendment rights, including Pastor Matt Terewhella's 16-year old daughter.. Pastor Matt Trewhella engaged the police at that point by exhorting them regarding the doctrine of the lesser magistrates. To learn more about the doctrine - go to DefyTyrants.com.

The police had statutory authority to arrest the adults sexually grooming children (link to ordinance = Wisconsin State Statute 948.05 (https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/document/statutes/948.05) instead they arrested the Christians who were NOT breaking the law.

Share our RUMBLE link to warn your friends and family! Do not give way to the pervasive mindset of the "typical American" who clings to the belief that a a single individual, such as a president will rescue us from all our societal woes. This mindset has lulled many into a state of complacency, perpetuating the idea that someone else will fix everything while all we have to do is remain as passive observers, and just cast your vote in the flawed system. The two-party political system that has dominated American politics for decades. The shiny object of the presidential election often diverts our attention from the deep rooted issues we face as a nation. Our nation is headed in the same downward trajectory - and we are going nowhere if we do not repent, and take action at the local levels. 3 Part series on Repentance, Fighting, and Building - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-W_sc9_aXlg&ab_channel=DefyTyrants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5OQtEBQflIs&ab_channel=DefyTyrants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nly4_vjAqDo&ab_channel=DefyTyrants Order the book, "The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates" here, to show you how to overcome tyranny through God's word. https://defytyrants.com/store/book-the-doctrine-of-the-lesser-magistrates/

Massive change can happen when Christians decide to act at the local level. This is happening now in Ottawa County, Michigan, where Christian men and women have been elected to seats on their county commission. Ottawa County has over 300,000 residents. These Christians advanced with diligence, forethought, organization, teamwork, and a heart of service towards God and man. In this video, they show that it is possible to influence great change; and this should give you HOPE that even if national and state politics are lost, you can still make a difference at the local level. So far Ottawa County has abolished the DEI (Department of Equity and Inclusion), removed a tyrannical health director, cut back spending in unnecessary areas, and continues to cause no small stir for Christ! They are receiving massive backlash for doing so, so please reach out to them with your positive support.
