Reality TV’s favorite uncle, Si Robertson of Duck Dynasty, has done a series of phone interviews with Christianity.com.
In this short video, Si discusses everything from Hollywood’s bewilderment with Christianity to his personal story of giving his life to Christ. Watch below.
Si also sat down to do an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network earlier this year. You can watch it below.
A delegation from the Republic of Georgia visited Family Council on Thursday.
Family Council President Jerry Cox and Government Affairs Director Ken Yang spoke to the group about current issues such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and the attack on religious liberty in the U.S.
The members of the delegation appeared to be supportive of traditional marriage and pro-life. Jerry showed the group two framed letters from the wall of his office. The first was a personal letter from Bill Clinton in which he, as governor, promised to sign a pro-life bill Jerry had lobbied for. The other was a 1985 letter from President Ronald Reagan commending the pro-life work being done by Rob Shafer, Kevin McCray, Jerry, and others. The members of the delegation were visibly impressed by the Reagan letter.

The U.S. Senate is moving forward with consideration of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (S. 815), also known as ENDA.
ENDA ties the hands of employers when it comes to addressing concerns over employee’s “actual or perceived sexual identity or gender identity.” As Family Resource Council writes, that has serious ramifications for religious organizations and people of faith:
ENDA would force religious business owners and workplaces such as Christian bookstores, religious publishing houses, pre-schools and religious television and radio stations to accept as normal any employee who has had a sex-change surgery, any employee who has changed or is “transitioning” their public “gender identity” (regardless of whether they have had surgery or hormone treatments), transvestites (people who dress as the opposite sex on an occasional basis for emotional or sexual gratification), and drag queens or drag kings (people who dress as the opposite sex for the purpose of entertaining others).
Making matters worse, “perceived gender identity” status does not require sex-change surgery, so ENDA would allow some biological males (who claim to be female) to enter and even appear nude before females in bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers. Situations like this have already been reported in several states with ENDA like laws such as Maine, Colorado and California.
ENDA is yet another example of legislation running roughshod over religious liberty. It is vaguely-written, and will only be clarified through expensive and time-consuming litigation in our courts.
Please contact Senators Pryor and Boozman, and ask them each to oppose the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (S. 815).
