Canadian-born pro-life activist Stephanie Gray, author of the new book, "My Body for You: A Pro-Life Message for a Post-Roe World," shines a light into the present moment of pro-life activism in the world. Drawing upon her deep Catholic faith, Gray fearlessly articulates the pro-life message to abortion advocates, answering the toughest questions that often face those in the pro-life movement. Stephanie Gray combines her pro-life apologetics with a rich faith in Christ, showing how unwavering support for the unborn finds its inspiration from Christ's sacrificial love as revealed within the Gospels. Even though Roe v. Wade has been overturned, the stakes remain high for the unborn, and the pro-life message Gray delivers is now more important than ever.

Author and researcher David Sorensen is sounding the alarm against a coordinated effort by big pharma, big tech, the educational system, the mainstream media, telecommunications, and more — all of which are working together to build a globalist New World Order. Sorensen shatters the illusion of choice and warns the world that major organizations across a variety of industries are in reality all controlled by the same handful of powerful globalist oligarchs. As the world watches America's 2024 Presidential elections, outbreak of war across the world, failing economies, and more, it is time now more than ever for an informed citizenry to prevent the New World Order from permanently changing the public narrative in their favor.

"Love is love" is a well-known slogan of the LGBT movement — but former lesbian Kim Zember observes that so many people looking for love have forgotten the true source of love: God our Father. Zember makes the poignant observation that many in our society don't trust God to love them, or that God has our best intentions in mind. As a result, we replace God's love for other loves. Zember reminds viewers that "love is love" is itself circular reasoning, and that true love comes from God who loves us.

The United States is enduring mass migration of people from across the world in numbers never seen in history.

Pope Francis’ reason for why the African bishops refuse to LGBT ‘couples’ is, as John-Henry Westen notes, not because of their steadfast faith in Catholic tradition.
