This week on the Frontline, Nathan shares some Scripture verses that serve as an encouragement to persevere in standing firm for Biblical values and for our Christian faith.

Nathan also shares news about some opportunities for us to engage in the work God is using today to protect us.

This week on the Frontline, Nathan talks about how people voicing their opinions on bills changes whether they get passed into law or not, looks at Senator Scott Wilkes, article "California’s war on parents", and asks the question once again: What freedoms do we care about and are we willing to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our secret honor to protect those freedoms as the founders did in the Declaration.

This month on Freedom Watch, Nathan and John discuss the latest in public school news as students return to school, including an ongoing battle pitting school boards and parents against the Governor and Head of the Department of Education. John notes that "courage is contagious", and that making the effort to stand up for truth even when you're alone can lead to massive change.

The California Legislature has begun a new two-year session! New proposed legislation is now beginning to stream into our state capitol in Sacramento. Please pray for FPM and our partners as we work to defend homeschool families against any legislation that threatens homeschool freedom and parental rights.
