Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Our government issues studies and reports all the time. Many of them are not really important and do not have a long shelf life. But last week, an earth-shattering report was issued showing anti-Christian bias in our federal government.
We must not forget America’s heritage. This nation was birthed in prayer and founded on the God of the Bible—on His biblical principles and His moral values. Unfortunately, many have turned their backs on their Creator, and we are reaping the consequences.
Once again, America has been forced by events to ponder what beast is prowling the land. We just witnessed the third assassination attempt on President Trump. An attempted assassination of a president is an attack on America itself.
My good friend Justice Clarence Thomas delivered an extraordinary and historic speech at the University of Texas recently. His remarks appropriately focused on the importance of the Declaration of Independence and its relevance to our nation as we celebrate our 250th birthday.
Beginning April 18, 2026, an extraordinary event will happen in the nation’s capital. Nearly 500 Christian leaders from all walks of life will read the entire Bible out loud for twelve hours a day over the course of seven days. This event, America Reads the Bible, is appropriately taking place at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. The very existence of the museum in the nation’s capital, a city built on a quest for temporal power, is in itself a miracle. It is evidence of God’s continued hand on America.
This year, on Good Friday, we received the news that two US airmen had ejected from their fighter jet after they were hit by enemy fire over Iran. In the hours that followed, and in the midst of celebrating Easter, millions of Americans prayed for those men and their families. Fortunately, the pilot was quickly rescued. The weapons officer, however, was trapped behind enemy lines—an enemy not known for mercy.
Over the years, one of the most frequent questions posed to me by Christians is whether I think President Trump has accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I have been honored to pray with the president many times, and I have reached my own conclusion.
There is a cultural and political war being waged by the secular Left against the Gospel, Christians, and specifically against the teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. They are trying to recast Christ as a “woke” socialist who favors open borders and aborting innocent children.
Since March 1, there has been a wave of threats and terrorist attacks on our homeland. As Christians, we should not let this violence cause us to embrace fear or hatred. But we must understand what motivates these attacks.
We live in anxious and dangerous times. Throughout history, in times like these, our leaders relied on God. General George Washington prayed at Valley Forge with his troops, exhausted, shoeless, and facing the powerful British army. Americans North and South prayed during the carnage of the Civil War, during which 600,000 men fell in combat in a war to end the sin of slavery. Franklin Delano Roosevelt—FDR—led the country in prayer on national radio on D-Day to rescue Europe from Hitler and the Nazis. Sadly, America is not as Christian today as we have been in the past. This is troubling, and we are weaker because of it. We need God’s hand of protection now more than ever. There are signs of a budding revival, thankfully—only time will tell.
