Not Backing Down: Advocating for Parents, Students, and Freedom
May 29, 2025

Through California, a quiet revolution is unfolding in public schools, and parents are being deliberately cut out of the process. From hidden gender transitions to activist-driven curricula, radical agendas are displacing parental authority.

This is not a misunderstanding. It is an intentional movement. One that seeks to redefine truth, erase traditional values, and reprogram children without parental knowledge or consent.

The State Does Not Own Your Children
Apr 25, 2025

Across the country, families of faith are facing mounting pressure to conform—to surrender their deeply held beliefs in exchange for government approval. In California, that pressure has turned into policy. The State has drawn a hard line between obedience to God and access to education, leaving countless Christian parents with an impossible choice. At Advocates for Faith & Freedom, we refuse to accept that choice as lawful or constitutional. That is why we are appealing the dismissal of our lawsuit against Senate Bill 277 (SB 277), a law that tramples parental rights and punishes religious conviction.

Fighting for Our Daughters: The Battle for Fairness and Protection in Girls’ Sports
Mar 26, 2025

Boys do not belong in girls’ sports. This should not be a revolutionary idea, yet, today, we find ourselves in a fight for common sense, biology, fairness, and truth. Girls who train their whole lives should not lose to policies that deny reality.

We see it time and again. A young athlete steps to the starting line, knowing she has put in the early morning workouts, the relentless effort, the sacrifices. But before the race even starts, she knows the odds are stacked against her. Boys are now taking away the level playing field she once had.

 This is happening across California, and it is wrong. It is not just about sports. It is invading locker rooms, dorms, scholarships, and beyond. That is why Advocates for Faith & Freedom is not just exposing this injustice—we are fighting to end it.

Elections Matter: The Power to Shape Legislation and Defend Freedom
Feb 27, 2025

The 2024 elections were a political earthquake. After four years of reckless policies that attacked religious freedom, parental rights, gender, and national sovereignty, Americans took back the ballot box. With President Trump’s return to the White House, the nation is already shifting back toward policies that protect faith, family, and freedom.

Press Release | SAVE GIRLS’ SPORTS: LAWSUIT EXPANDS TO CHALLENGE CALIFORNIA LAW THAT ALLOWS BOYS TO PLAY ON GIRLS’ SPORTS
Jan 31, 2025

Today, two female high school athletes from California, K.S. and T.S., along with their families, and the Save Girls’ Sports association, filed an amended federal lawsuit against the State of California, Riverside Unified School District, and school officials. The lawsuit now challenges AB 1266, the radical California law that requires schools to allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports and use female bathrooms. This law conflicts with federal Title IX protections, which were established to ensure fairness, safety, and equal opportunities for female students and athletes.

Victory for Medical and Religious Freedom
Jan 24, 2025

I want to take a moment to share a very personal story with you, one that has had profound challenges, but also immense blessings over the past few years. In early 2020, I was sitting with my Bible study group, reflecting on the year that had passed and sharing insights on the one ahead. I remember clearly voicing a prayer to the Lord, asking Him to keep me from becoming too comfortable in this world. It was not a prayer to escape hardship, but rather a plea for vigilance—because even the smallest comforts, if left unchecked, can breed complacency.

Advocates for Faith and Freedom, together with North Carolina Values Institute, filed an amicus curiae brief in the Chiles v. Salazar case, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case which challenges Colorado’s “Censorship Law” for licensed counselors. This law targets faith-based counseling practices by prohibiting speech that aligns with traditional, religious values regarding gender identity and sexual orientation.

Press Release | Church Under Attack for Lawful Ballot Collection
Nov 25, 2024

Earlier this month, Pastor Greg Phelps and his church, Calvary Chapel Red Bluff, became the target of misleading allegations and sensationalist media coverage following their participation in lawful ballot collection during the recent election. The church, like many others, offered its congregation a convenient way to exercise their voting rights in full compliance with California’s laws. Despite this, media outlets such as the SF Gate have unfairly sought to paint this civic-minded initiative as questionable or improper.

Turning the Tide: A Thanksgiving Call to Faith and Freedom
Nov 15, 2024

Victory is sweet, but the battle is far from over! As we stated last month, “No fraud or deceit can stand against a tidal wave of righteous votes.” With common sense stepping back into the Oval Office, optimism is in the air—a hope that this administration will course-correct, uphold the Constitution, and empower us to thrive in true freedom—the precious, God-given rights that define us as Americans.

Faith, Freedom, and a Future at Stake: Reclaiming Truth in America!
Oct 25, 2024

The cancel culture mob is on the prowl, eager to slap the label of "hate speech" on anyone brave enough to defend biblical truth. We have watched the chaos unfold with open borders, defunding the police, and the push for gender confusion. Men are now claiming trophies in women’s sports, doctors are performing irreversible surgeries on confused children, drag queens are reading to toddlers, and terrorists are marching in our streets. This is not progress—it is a full-scale assault on the values that shaped America.

When Biological Truth Becomes "Hate": Is Teaching Science Now Forbidden?
Sep 27, 2024

Are science teachers still allowed to teach…science?  Not according to one public school district. In today’s upside-down world, truth is under attack, and those who dare speak it are paying the price. Ray Shelton, a fifth-grade teacher with 25 years of outstanding academic service, is a prime example. When he challenged California’s Glendale Unified School District’s (GUSD) “Sex-Change Policies” which not only harm children but force teachers to bow to extreme political agendas that violate both personal beliefs and religious convictions, GUSD accused him of “hate speech.”
