Entering this season of family and faith celebrations, what do we do to draw family and friends together again? Is this even possible? Yes, I think it is—if we first take time to understand some things.  

Summit Ministries recently wrote a piece that will help not only Christians and others of faith, but anyone who wants to navigate past the landmines keeping friends and family divided and start building bridges again. Here’s a small excerpt, but please read the rest to prepare for some beautiful holiday celebrations! ~ Kim 

Too many women are being misled. It happens every election, but the left has been at it for years. Propaganda has tricked women into being outraged over injustices but given them ‘solutions’ without all the facts and real outcomes. Compassion without truth equals abuse—not only of those people women want to help, but abuse of the entire society in the form of chaos within families, education and even devastating harm to mothers and babies. Women, stop being played, and examine the messages from the left. 

Today we have an example of how smart women are thinking through the issue of women in sports. We have permission from the author, Alison Furno, whose piece was recently published in the AZ Capitol Times. 

My friend LJ Wentworth called last week after that report came out that ICE released over 435,000 migrants with criminal convictions. These are murderers, rapists and every kind of violent, destructive criminal—released into multiple American cities (paid for by our tax dollars, by the way). The result: Biden-Harris Border Policy Encourages ‘Unspeakable Acts’ of Suffering 

You’ve probably heard someone say, “this is the most important election of our lifetime,” and in many ways this is true. While many are focused on the Presidential election, School Board and City Council elections have the most immediate impact on your daily lives and are just as important as who you select at the top of the ballot. This election is important for our children – whether you have kids in your district or not, your tax dollars pay for the curriculum and teaching of thousands of children and future leaders in your community. Do you know how your money is being used? 

In a time like this with all its chaos and uncertainty, anything can happen. Traditional values are attacked, and everything seems upside down. But don’t be discouraged. This is actually a time of great possibility! We have a chance to rediscover the deep wisdom and unchangeable truths within our nation’s founding.  

Do you realize you’re a soldier? If you love your freedom, your family, your community and our miraculous nation, then you’re called to be a soldier. G.K. Chesterton said, “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” 

The only question is, WILL YOU fight (in your own way) to defend what’s behind you, what’s worth protecting? The first step is to Wake Up to how the attack began. Then you can start to see YOUR part in this worthy battle for our Republic. 

It’s

Summer break is ending, and the new school year is upon us, which brings bittersweet excitement for both kids and parents. We love watching our kids step into a new grade, hearts full of curiosity. We pray that their school year ahead will be filled with learning, new friendships, and wonderful memories.  

The Biden Administration’s recent rewrite of Title IX was a clear attack on the guarantee of sex equality in education and sports which would "both undermine constitutional freedoms—like the freedom of speech—and erase the very women that Title IX was enacted to protect.” Luckily, a Federal Judge in Louisiana just ruled that these rule changes are an “abuse of power” and blocked the rule from taking effect in 4 states. Unfortunately, Arizona is not one of those.  

AZWOA has been tasked to recruit and hire a special team of women to align with Turning Point Action’s Chase the Vote Project, to build relationships with like-minded voters and to encourage them to vote. Our AZWOA “Special Forces Unit” is out in their neighborhoods getting to know other women and families. We’re literally building community--connecting neighbors to each other and providing the resources they need to protect kids and restore schools right in their area!
