Matthew McWhorter, author of Canon Crossfire, examines the escalating global persecution of Christians, from bans on public prayer in Quebec to arrests for silent intercession in the UK and France, and the deadly violence facing believers in Nigeria. Combining legal insight with biblical clarity, he warns that governments are increasingly codifying the suppression of faith—undermining conscience, free speech, and the foundations of liberty itself.

Roger LeGendre and Valerie Jameson from Stand True for Blue join us in the studio to discuss their mission of encouraging people in law enforcement and their families. Valerie said, “Every day, all day, our men and women in uniform are working with people who are having their worst day.” Stand True helps to be a “light” in places where discouragement is common. Stand True for Blue needs volunteers. For example, in their ” Adopt an Officer” program, each person serving in law enforcement in local departments has a group of people from local churches praying over them daily as they protect our community! Their programs include:

  • Adopt an Officer
  • Thankful Thursday
  • Cruiser Bags
  • Letters and notes of encouragement from students to those serving in uniform
  • Coordinated financial assistance to families experiencing the tragic loss of a family member while serving.

Stand True 4 Blue is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Give financial support at https://standtrue4blue.com/.

Since its founding in 1961, EEM has remained steadfast in providing Bibles and biblical materials throughout Eastern Europe and beyond.
