Today, I reach the completion of an unexpected journey. Eight years have now passed since I was compelled to run for a seat in MO’s House of Representatives, and six years of service have come to an end. I’ve met amazing people; I’ve made close friends; I’ve fought important…
“It’s totally insane to be stopping puberty in a perfectly healthy child.” @BillboardChris spoke at ADF Summit 2025 about his origin story and why he works to protect children from gender ideology. Watch the full panel on YouTube.
Attending the @ADFLegal Summit was one of the most enjoyable and edifying events I’ve been to in awhile. It’s always a blessing to connect with God’s people doing God’s work — especially in arenas you didn’t know existed before!
Participating in @ADFLegal’s Summit last week was enjoyable on numerous accounts...One of which was bumping into @EricTeetsel, @andrewtwalk, @colinsmo, @DennyBurk, and @DavidSchrock. These guys are doing an amazing job in bringing intellectual weight to public theology/policy.…
Great to see @DougRichey at Fed Soc KC Lawyers. Dr. Richey has written an excellent piece on this topic. moeagles.org/the-repugnant-…
Enjoyed an evening with the @FedSoc KC Lawyers Chapter, listening to Professor Kirk discuss the current legal challenges to families and natural rights. It was made even better by bumping into my good friends @MikeWhitehead and @jrwhitehead.

I’m so looking forward to these arriving! @WilliamFBuckley will add weight to my correspondence...and a little dry and witty levity.

Thank you @GregBaylor for the recommendation of this work, describing precedential cases that inform the court’s understanding of the ‘Establishment’ and ‘Free Exercise’ clauses. The legal backdrop for our 1st Amendment conversations shouldn't be casually ignored. Smart public…
I served as the Chair of the @MBTS trustee’s Academic Committee when Barrett was hired. I’ve also pastored for two decades in the KC region. I can say this: There are numerous SBC churches in our region that are reformed, participatory in worship (intentionally rejecting…
It is interesting to learn from former Southern Baptist theologians that Southern Baptists are averse to the Nicene Creed, especially since we identified ourselves with it in a resolution just this year.
“You could have a cake baked anywhere. But they wanted to have this man bake their cake, and they were going to take him to court, and they were going to humiliate him.” @Ayaan on how the case against ADF client Jack Phillips helped lead her to Christ. Watch the full interview…
Ninth Circuit holds that OR cannot compel foster parents to advance radical gender ideology. (Bates v. Pakseresht – ADF Media adfmedia.org/case/bates-v-p…)
“They put together these ‘safety laws’ for online censorship.” @BillboardChris explained at ADF Summit 2025 how online “safety laws” are a Trojan Horse for censorship and spoke about his major free speech win against Australia’s eSafety Commissioner. Watch the full panel on…
Wonderful news!
1/3 Breaking News: Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of Jessica Bates, the Oregon Christian mom who was denied the chance to adopt because she refused to agree to the demands of gender ideology. Congrats to Bates and @ADFLegal! ca9-showdoc.azurewebsites.us/NDA/b39f5e85-a…
🗣️ ATW: "[It's] incredible to have a sitting attorney general [@AGTennessee] who acknowledges the reality of creation order and ontology. And how did that attorney general get in his office? Because of politics. Because politics really matters."
Get your day started right with the latest episode of the @BullyPulpitPod. We were joined by our friend and @ADFLegal CEO @KristenWaggoner. BONUS: @ErikReed pronounced all words correctly! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/liv…
Well done!

Spoken like a consumer, rather than a steward of God’s blessing. Mere consumption will rot you. Christ-honoring stewardship will invigorate you.
The worst thing about becoming rich (500M+) is that there’s nothing to buy. You invest to increase your money, but that’s not buying things. 20 cars, 10 houses, yacht, jet, 15 diamond watches. Done. Then you’re left with PILES OF MONEY and nothing at all to buy besides steak.
Ok, I have a confession. I stopped by the hospital to check on a dear lady. When you care for God’s people for as long as I have, you can’t just turn pastoral impulses off...Yes, it was a delightful visit and we enjoyed a time of prayer.
Exciting news for Montana! Especially after they enacted robust conscience protections for every healthcare worker with the MED Act. And great news for doctors, nurses, patients, and medicine for everyone in the state! Bravo, @GovGianforte! adfmedia.org/press-release/…
By embracing freedom, we've quadrupled the number of direct patient care providers across our state. More freedom. Better health care access. Lower costs.
Enjoyed a productive lunch with Isaiah Callarman. He’s a recent @MBTS grad and is starting a grad program at @Hillsdale, with plans to complete a Ph.D. there. We’ve enjoyed conversations, in the past, about the importance of evangelical engagement in the public arena. I’m excited…
Introducing ADF Summit 2025: Contend For Truth. From tomorrow, full speeches and clips from the inspiring event will be released on ADF’s social media. We were honored to have @SpeakerJohnson address us and to welcome @GovRonDeSantis, @Ayaan and many others at Summit.
