Summary
I’m back from Australia—and what I saw both inspired and sobered me.
On the Gospel Reset tour with Ken Ham and Barry Wilmore, I witnessed a beautiful nation that has quietly surrendered freedoms through passivity. Cameras everywhere. Speech limitations. Christian schools using secular curriculum.
It was a powerful reminder: freedom is fragile—and the reset begins in Genesis.
Let’s talk about why this matters for your family and how we stand boldly at the intersection of faith and culture.
