I had a blast joining @BullyPulpitPod live from this year’s @ADFLegal Summit. We discussed a wide range of cultural & political topics from a Christian perspective—including how vocal the church should be on current events, and where Christian courage can be found. Thanks to…
Since 2016, we've seen the rise of a censorship industrial complex: governments outsourcing speech control to platforms, fact-checkers, and moderators. I sat down with @JohnAndersonAC and @KristenWaggoner to discuss global censorship.
French authorities have launched a politically-motivated criminal investigation into X over the alleged manipulation of its algorithm and alleged “fraudulent data extraction.” X categorically denies these allegations. This investigation, instigated by French politician Eric…
Viewpoint based debanking has a cadence, and this is it. @stripe must be held accountable. A public relations fiasco is not enough. If they “fix” this after public pressure they’ll just do it again in a few months. We need lasting change, like eliminating the policies that cause…
Hi, @Stripe. Are we still doing this de-banking thing? Was it something I said? If we say that men can’t be women, if we donate to pro-life charities, if we oppose two men buying eggs, renting wombs, and commoditizing babies… Does that come at the cost of de-banking?
Thank you Rep. Moore and Senator Hawley. Keep up the great work @ADFIntl
🚨 Big news: Today @RepRileyMoore & @HawleyMO introduced a resolution condemning the global persecution of Christians. As a human rights lawyer with @ADFIntl, I’m proud we supported this bold stand for religious freedom. See the text here: rileymoore.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…

Excellent essay by @battleforeurope! 👇👇👇
Across the West, censorship has become routine, dissent is increasingly criminalised, propaganda is blatant and legal systems are weaponised to suppress opposition. Even elections are being cancelled. Can we still speak of democracy? My latest: unherd.com/2025/07/how-we…

(1) BREAKING: In a win for Christian freedom, a West London church has compelled a local authority to reverse a controversial Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) that had effectively criminalised its Christian outreach ministry. Supported by lawyers at the Christian Legal…
I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.
In her report to #HRC59, UN expert @UNSRVAW calls for reaffirming importance of sex in description of violence against women & girls. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
About that rebirth thing…. “Hundreds of people have taken part in an outdoor service which saw 92 people baptised in the sea. Congregations from five churches across Bournemouth gathered next to Boscombe Pier for the event.” bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
The UK is spiritually hungry. As we hit the rock bottom of extreme liberalism, and we see the damage inflicted upon ourselves and our families, we long for the God we rejected. The GenZ ‘quiet revival’ is just the beginning. ⛪️
A new UN report has issued a powerful warning against gender ideology. It urges governments to define “women” and “girls” as biological females in law and ban social, legal, and medical transition for children. From Sweden to the UK to Brazil, the global shift is already…
Trump’s just-announced 50% tariff penalty against Brazil expressly relies on Brazil’s aggressive censorship campaign against Americans and American companies. The EU’s Digital Services Act also can censor Americans and impose massive fines, so they’ll be watching this closely.

@Paul_B_Coleman and @KristenWaggoner unpack the growing threat of vaguely worded hate speech and misinformation laws, exposing how they endanger everyday people.
Billboard Chris’ free speech victory is a warning to the censors. He stood up to a system designed to silence him, and he won. But the same people trying to censor speech in Australia are working to do the same everywhere else. @Rob_ADFIntl via @realDailyWire👇
Thank you @RFInstitute and @pepperdine for the privilege of serving as faculty at this year’s Statesmanship and Religious Freedom Program, where I led sessions exploring the international religious freedom framework and examining #FoRB challenges in contemporary Europe.
On July 2-5, in partnership with @RFInstitute's National Center for Religious Freedom Education, the university hosted the inaugural Statesmanship and Religious Freedom Program at the Château d'Hauteville in Vevey, Switzerland. Students from around the globe engaged in…
John Steenhof and Paul Coleman expose the rise of lawfare in the West—where legal systems are used to intimidate, censor, and punish dissenting voices.
On June 26th, the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF) published a report that claims to reveal the growing influence of so-called “anti-feminist” religious groups in Europe. @bern_petri @Paul_B_Coleman hungarytoday.hu/brussels-new-r…
