Our flag flies because of them

“Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” –Unknown

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, and its timing is an important reminder for each of us, particularly as we are in the middle of monumental debates in Indiana and our nation at large.

Those passionate debates, the victories and shortcomings experienced in our legislatures, and the emotional election days many of us have felt can at times seem all-encompassing. As stressful as those events may be, it’s breathtaking to stop and realize that these struggles we may consider a burden at times are truly a privilege given to us by the men and women who have laid down their lives for the flag.

From our nation’s founding, valiant patriots have lived out John 15:13 – and we all owe our precious freedoms to every single one of them.

I wish you and your families a peaceful Memorial Day weekend, and may we all honor our nation’s heroes who have gone before us by living out America’s freedoms with joy.

By supporting The Daniel Initiative, you’re supporting a project built around:

  • RELATIONSHIPS. We routinely build relationships between church leaders and state and federal officials via in-person or virtual meetings. These meetings include the sharing of Scripture, discussions about how the church can help with key problems, and a time of prayer.
  • PARTNERSHIPS. Through the relationships established above, we identify ways the God-ordained institutions of church and state can partner together to serve the common good. Then, we encourage churches to impact these key problems, such as foster care, the drug crisis and mental health.
  • RESOURCES. We equip church leaders and other committed Christians to be gospel-centered citizens (Phil 1:27). We produce a podcast (The Good Citizen Podcast) and other digital resources, send out weekly email updates and routinely speak in churches and at events about rethinking Christian citizenship and engaging government in God’s way.

WE DID IT!

We did it!

Yesterday the Indiana legislature voted to override Governor Holcomb’s veto of HB 1041 to protect women’s sports. HB 1041 will become effective July 1. The senate override vote was 32-15 and the House vote to override was 67-28.

This is a huge step forward to saving women’s sports. Female athletes through high school will not have opportunities stolen from them by biological males in the name of wokeness.

The credit goes to you for taking action on this incredibly important piece of legislation. We are in the midst of a cultural battle in which our opponents fly in the face of reality and God’s design.

This veto override speaks volumes about Hoosier citizens. We sent a message to Indianapolis that we are serious about defending the truth and we will not back down or be vetoed into silence.

During next year’s legislation session, we will bring back a measure to extend this protection of women’s sports to the college level. This was originally included in HB 1041 but was unfortunately removed during committee. Together, we will make sure that every female athlete in Indiana has the opportunity to fairly
