How does your church react when a family walks in with four or more children? At the MFL 2018 Conference, Abraham Hamilton III challenged believers to examine the comments and attitudes that make large families feel unwelcome. If we say we value children, that should show in how we treat them and their parents. Do we see children as a blessing or a burden?

This is a clip from the 2018 Marriage Family Life Conference hosted by American Family Association. In this session, Abraham Hamilton III explores the profound connection between revival and the reformation of families through biblical principles.

We may not know what tomorrow holds, but uncertainty does not excuse us from faithful preparation. Dan Celia explains why Christians should work each day as though Christ could return at any moment, while planning wisely as though He may not return for another 100 years. Whatever the future brings, we are called to remain faithful, prepared, and ready.

Puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones are often presented as compassionate care. But the speakers featured in In His Image warn that these interventions disrupt healthy development, carry serious risks, and can cause lasting physical changes before the roots of a child’s distress are fully explored. The voice progression at the end offers a sobering example of how profoundly testosterone can alter a young woman’s body. Children struggling with gender dysphoria deserve time, truth, and compassionate care—not a rush toward life-altering medical intervention.

This lecture was released in 2015. In loving memory of Dan Celia (1953-2022) We live in uncertain times, and as stewards of the gifts God has given us we need to know how to navigate these unstable economic waters. Dan Celia shares his wisdom on dealing with uncertainty, drawing on past experiences, a wealth of knowledge, and scriptures to encourage and educate. Don’t find yourself unprepared for the drastic changes ahead for America. Step out with God’s wisdom and practical knowledge as you prepare for the future. Thank you so much for watching our videos.

What begins with a new name, new pronouns, and a new wardrobe can become the first step toward medical intervention. In this excerpt from In His Image, the speaker explains how children as young as 2 or 3 may be placed on a path from social transition to puberty-blocking drugs—medications being used off-label for gender dysphoria while parents are told their effects are fully reversible. Parents deserve to understand where this pathway can lead before taking its first seemingly harmless step.

We’ve gotten so used to broken political promises that we’re almost surprised when an elected official actually does what they said they would do. Ken Cuccinelli’s standard is pretty simple: Do what you said you would do. Watch “The 13 Traits Every Political Leader Needs” on AFA’s YouTube channel for the full conversation on integrity, leadership, and the core problem facing conservative politics today.

The conservative movement doesn’t have a shortage of principles. Ken Cuccinelli says the bigger problem is finding leaders willing and able to actually put those principles into practice. Believing the right things matters. But leadership means having the courage to act on them. Watch the full video, “The 13 Traits Every Political Leader Needs,” on AFA’s YouTube channel to hear Ken break down the qualities our political leaders desperately need.
