0:00.0	Hi, I'm Sissy Graham Lynch.
0:04.1	Welcome to Fearless, helping you have a fearless faith in a compromising culture.
0:27.8	When I started fearless, my heart was just to encourage those to navigate their faith in a forever-changing culture, to really have a fearless faith in a compromising culture, that when
0:33.1	that moment to come to stand for truth or to stand with the world, that here would have been a
0:38.6	resource that help prepare you for that moment. Because in that moment, it will be fearful.
0:43.6	It'll be a terrifying moment. Do I stand with God or to the cries of the world? And recently I was
0:51.9	at an event with Alliance Offending Freedom, and I heard the story of
0:55.5	Monica Gill. And here on Fearless, we've talked about our education system. We have talked about
1:00.4	teachers and some of the radical things that they are teaching in our school systems. But I've
1:04.6	been convicted and been very careful over time not to really bash all teachers because
1:09.8	there are so many wonderful teachers in our classroom
1:12.4	who believe that is their mission field, wonderful godly teachers. I had them through my public
1:16.7	school life growing up. But the story of Monica Gill is incredible. It has forever impacted me.
1:23.5	So I've wanted you to hear Monica's story of how she had to decide as a teacher, was she going to stand for truth and be able to love on her children and students or stand with the world.
1:37.1	Well, thank you for joining me today on Fearless.
1:40.1	Thank you so much for having me. I really am honored to be here, like, beyond belief. So thank you.
1:45.6	Well, and joining Monica is Tyson from Alliance Defending Freedom. He's senior counsel with ADF.
1:52.7	We have talked about ADF multiple times here on Fearless. I can never speak more highly of Alliance Defending Freedom. Their wins are our wins. They are the best in what they do,
2:02.7	protecting our religious liberties, our parental rights, marriage, the sanctity of life. And they win.
2:09.5	And their wins are our wins. And I've often said the work that they do and the Belly Graham Evangelistic
2:15.1	Association and Samaritans purse, they fit hand and glove.
2:19.3	And Eliza Fending Freedom is so faithful of always keeping those doors open to share the gospel.
