HEARD ON ALL THINGS CONSIDERED

Conservative Christian leaders say winning over young women is a priority. Kathryn Post of Religion News Service explains how groups like Turning Point USA are responding.

ADRIAN FLORIDO, HOST:

Many young conservative Christian women have been leaving their churches and faith communities. This weekend in Texas, Turning Point USA held a conference aimed at winning them back. The organization is now led by Erika Kirk, the widow of founder Charlie Kirk. The event focused on faith, family and what organizers see as the dangers of modern feminism and secular culture. Here is Erika Kirk.

(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

ERIKA KIRK: Scripture reminds us that men and women were designed to depend on one another. At its core, feminism is a worldview that treats many of the things that make women uniquely women as obstacles.

FLORIDO: Joining us now to talk more about this is Kathryn Post of Religion News Service. Kathryn, welcome.

KATHRYN POST: Great to be here.

FLORIDO: Tell us about what you're seeing with young conservative Christian women right now. Why are some leaving their churches and and faith communities?

POST: What we know is that women have historically been more religious than men. But among Gen Zers, we're seeing a shift where that gender gap is narrowing. That's because, at least according to many surveys, young women are leaving conservative Christian communities. Here's Kristan Hawkins. She's the president of Students for Life of America, and she spoke to me while she was getting ready to give her speech yesterday at the Young Women's Leadership Summit.

KRISTAN HAWKINS: We have to win these women. For me, it's mission critical, but I think for world civilization, it's critical 'cause you don't have to be pro-life. You don't have to be against the violence of abortion to be able to look at the statistics and say, we have a serious problem here with men going so hard-right and women going so hard-left.

FLORIDO: So groups like Turning Point clearly see this movement of some young women away from their churches as a problem, but what is their diagnosis? Why do they think young women are drifting away? And what is their strategy for bringing them back?

POST: If you ask the speakers at the summit, many of them will point to feminism and what they describe as girlboss culture as the reason for this shift. Folks outside the summit would say that it's these churches themselves and what they would describe as patriarchal culture that's pushing women away. But in order to reach young women, Turning Point USA is investing in in-person events like this one that feel like festivals for conservative students and young moms. I mean, there's Taylor Swift and worship music blasting from loudspeakers. There's sparkly cowboy hat merch, and there are spaces where these women can talk about faith and dating and health.

At these conferences, a big part of the draw is online influencers like Allie Beth Stuckey, who's a podcaster that discusses faith in politics, and Alex Clark, who's a leader in the Make America Healthy Again movement. While I'm not really seeing signs that this summit is winning back women who've left religion, it is clearly mobilizing those who are already in the fold.

FLORIDO: When you're listening to these speakers at this event, what vision of womanhood are they presenting to young women? You know, what are they saying about marriage or about motherhood or about work?

POST: The speakers are trying to reach the young women where they're at, and many of the women that I spoke to had concerns about affordability, finding a job or finding a spouse. And what Turning Point USA is telling them is that the Bible has all the answers. They framed their biblical interpretation as offering spiritual truths about gender roles and having kids and about how to vote on issues related to LGBTQ identity and abortion. Allie Beth Stuckey said this about abortion, gender and identity. She said, these aren't just culture war issues. For the Christian, they are biblical issues. These are soul-level issues. And that message does seem to be resonating with the young women here.

FLORIDO: I've been speaking with Kathryn Post from Religion News Service. Thanks, Kathryn.

POST: Thanks for having me.

He Jesus Cares for Women Ministry

Leticia M - Bible Study:
“Can a man divorce his wife, remarry, divorce again and return to his first wife?”
This behavior exist over 2,000 years ago and still occurs today…
Why is this not allowed? Why is this behavior a sin?
1). Answer: the person who sins in this way has weak, bad character. A person with bad character will not commit to a relationship. A person with good character keeps an oath even when it hurts.
*Psalm 15: 1 & 4
Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
4……who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
2) God calls this behavior an abomination-
An abomination is something that causes extreme disgust, loathing, or hatred.
This behavior still occurs today.
Second Marriage Failure: Second marriages are statistically riskier than first, with a 60–67% chance of ending in divorce.
Why They Reconcile: People often return to their first spouse after realizing the issues in the first marriage were not entirely unique to that partner, or after significant personal growth.
3). Question? What do you tell a lonely woman who is willing to return back to her former husband who had left her, remarried then divorced and wants to return to his first wife?
-Readon #1 - The Mosaic Law
Deuteronomy 24:1-4 is a Mosaic law regulating divorce and remarriage, specifically forbidding a man from remarrying his first wife after she has married another man. It highlights the serious nature of marriage, aiming to stop the exploitation of women as property and prevent "wife-swapping". It requires a legal certificate of divorce
God calls this an abomination.
-Reason #2 Protection for Women:
The law functioned to protect a woman from being treated as property that could be traded back and forth. It gave her the freedom to move on without being treated as interchangeable inventory. Legal Protections: The requirement of a "certificate of divorce" (verse 1) gave the woman legal freedom to marry another, safeguarding her reputation and rights. Prohibition of "Wife Swapping": It was a restriction against a man treating his wife's marriage status capriciously.Significance in Theology.
-Reason #3: Hardness of Hearts:
Jesus explained that this provision was allowed due to the "hardness of men's hearts," noting that in the beginning, divorce was not God's plan.
*Jeremiah 3:1-5
GOD's Message came to me as follows: "If a man's wife walks out on him And marries another man, can he take her back as if nothing had happened? Wouldn't that raise a huge stink in the land? And isn't that what you've done— 'wh**ed' your way with god after god? And now you want to come back as if nothing had happened." GOD's Decree.
"Look around at the hills. Where have you not had s*x? You've camped out like hunters stalking deer. You've solicited many lover-gods, Like a streetwalking w***e chasing after other gods. And so the rain has stopped. No more rain from the skies! But it doesn't even faze you. Brazen as w***es, you carry on as if you've done nothing wrong. Then you have the nerve to call out, 'My father! You took care of me when I was a child. Why not now? Are you going to keep up your anger nonstop?'
*Deuteronomy 24:1-4
24 If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, 2 and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of another man, 3 and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, 4 then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the LoRD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
4). The Bible does not provide a specific script or mandatory formula for wedding vows, but it treats marriage as a sacred, binding covenant before God, emphasizing lifelong commitment, faithfulness, and the "one flesh" union. Scripture stresses that promises made should be kept, making vows a serious pledge rather than just a ceremony.

The Proverbs 31 Woman

05/02/2026

Bible Teacher - Leticia D.
Bible Study Outline- 50 points
Today we are going to continue on our study on God’s mandate to mothers to raise godly children.
God holds the role of motherhood in high regard. Motherhood is a high calling. Her actions and thoughts are important in the shaping of her children’s lives. Moms can rely on the Bible to guide her through that journey. Mothers who lean on Gods word are empowered, enabled, and equipped for success. Mothers can rely on the lords infinite source of wisdom and strength.
Psalm 46:5, “God is within her, she will not fall.”
“Women will be saved through Childbearing”
🔹1) Our passage today is from
I Timothy 2: 13-15, “For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”
This scripture is difficult to understand. This passage is not teaching that women are eternally saved from sin through the bearing of children. Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, alone (Rom. 3:19–20).
This passage was written by the Apostle Paul. His point is that while a woman may have led the race into sin, women have the privilege of leading the race out of sin to godliness, through her testimony and example of Jesus Christ.
This passage is saying that a woman will confirm her salvation by raising godly children. Otherwise, a woman who is not godly and raises ungodly or religious children expose her own ungodliness or religiousness. She will experience the pain of their unredeemed & destructive behavior due to a lack of godly parenting. The pain will bring her to the truth about herself which will cause her to humble herself before God and be saved.
Proverbs 14:1
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.
Proverbs 10:1
“a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.”
🔹2) why are so many passages about parenting directed at women? Women have the primary responsibility for rearing godly children. It is a mandate from God. Mothers spend far more time with their children than do their fathers, and have the greater influence. Children will imitate their mother.
I Corinthians 11:1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ”
1 Timothy 2:15
But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety (she must behave in a suitable or appropriate Christian manner).
🔹3) God commands women to love their children. Gods definition of love:
I Corinthians 13
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
Titus 2:4-5..encourage women .....to love their children.
🔹4) Mothers have the primary responsibility to raise their kids in the faith by her teaching and example.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 1:8
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
Proverbs 6:20
My son, keep your father’s command and do not forsake your mother’s teaching
🔹5) Mothers have to demonstrate tough love at times. It is part of her responsibility.
Proverbs 29:15
A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother.
🔹6) Mothers must present a “holy example” to her children. “....they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.”
1 Thessalonians 4:4
That each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor.
1 Thessalonians 4:7
For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.
Hebrews 12:14
Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.
🔹7) Mothers can influence her children negatively. Mothers who present a bad example to their children will reap the consequences. In the end her children will despise her.
Proverbs 10:1
A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.
Proverbs 15:20
A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish man despises his mother
Proverbs 13:20
Spend time with the wise and you will become wise, but the friends of fools will suffer.
1 Corinthians 15:33
Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
🔹8). A mother who does not love her children does not know God.
Matthew 7:16
By their fruit you will recognize them
1 John 4:8
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
🔹9) ) A mother who leads her children away from God by example or teaching will herself spend eternity in hell as well as her children. Children will imitate their mother and expose her. By her children’s behavior a mother is known.
Jeremiah 22:26
I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die.
Luke 6:4
The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like the teacher. (mother)
🔹10) Mothers will reap the reward who have trained her children well. A woman who raises godly children proves or confirms her own salvation.
Proverbs 31:28
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.
🔹11) How can a woman be truly saved? She must know the true gospel message.
God’s plan for our “Sin Debt” to be paid is through the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross. Those who trust in Jesus will be forgiven of their sins, they will be reconciled to God, and will recieve the gift of Righteousness and the gift of eternal life. When we stand at the Judgement, Jesus will stand with us to confirm we were true followers and obeyed His teaching. God will dismiss our case and grant us Eternal life. Scripture says many will say Lord, Lord but Jesus will say I never knew you because you did not Follow my teaching.
🔹12) PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for your word today. I believe Jesus died on the Cross for me and I want to follow Him and place my trust in His teachings. Help me, guide me, direct me and give me the wisdom to raise my children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, for your glory. Amen

14th Amendment- terminate the established interpretation of birthright citizenship as defined in the 14th Amendment.

The 14th Amendment Conflict:
The 14th Amendment guarantees that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens...". Trump’s order argues that children of undocumented immigrants are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S. in the way the framers of the amendment intended.

Why are foreigners bringing their pregnant women to America to give birth?

The primary goal of Chinese citizens traveling to the United States to give birth (known as birth tourism) is to secure U.S. citizenship for their children, which acts as a "hedged bet" or a "rainy day fund" offering long-term opportunities, freedom, and security. Affluent parents often view this as a strategic investment to provide their children with a better future, including access to superior educational opportunities and cleaner living environments.
Foster LLP

Key Goals and Motivations:

Education Access: Securing U.S. citizenship gives children easier access to top U.S. colleges and universities, often with lower costs than foreign students, and opens opportunities for primary/secondary education in international schools.
Long-Term Immigration Option: When the child turns 21, they can act as a sponsor for their parents to gain US lawful permanent residency (a green card), allowing families to bypass standard, lengthy immigration lines.
Freedom and Environment: Parents frequently cite a preference for the U.S. educational system and a desire for their children to experience more freedom and democracy, as well as better environmental conditions than those found in China.
Safety and Health: Seeking better medical care during childbirth and escaping food safety issues (such as scandals involving infant milk powder) have been cited as factors.
Travel Mobility: An American passport allows for easier international travel without visa restrictions, compared to a Chinese passport.
Circumventing Regulations: In the past, this was used to bypass China’s strict family planning (one-child) policies. Currently, it is used to secure privileges within China, such as easier entry into top-tier Chinese schools that sometimes accept only children with foreign passports.
Federation for American Immigration Reform

Methods and Scope:

Birth Tourism Agencies: Hundreds of agencies, mostly in China, arrange for housing, medical care, and travel for pregnant women to U.S. cities like Los Angeles and the U.S. territory of Saipan (Northern Mariana Islands).
Surrogacy: Wealthy Chinese elites are also using U.S. surrogacy services to have children who gain U.S. citizenship via the 14th Amendment.
Cost and Scale: The process, which can cost $20,000–$100,000, is considered a "bargain" by many wealthy Chinese, with estimates suggesting thousands of babies are born this way annually.
NPR

Controversy and Legal Consequences:

Visa Fraud: Many participants lie about their intentions when applying for visas, leading to federal investigations in the U.S. that have resulted in prison sentences for agents and organizers of these schemes.
Security Concerns: Some US officials have raised alarms over the trend, citing potential national security implications if these children, raised in China and holding US citizenship, are later recruited by foreign actors.

“Lust will never turn to Love.”
There is a false belief that true love starts with lust.
Lust and love move in different directions. Im going to explain why lust will not only not turn into love but, it cancels out love. Scripture tells us that what a person desires is unfailing love. We all want love people are wired that way. Dont be deceived, lust is destructive to love.
Proverbs 19:22
"What a person desires is unfailing love
1) There is a false belief that all love begins with lust. Alow me to explain. The following is a definition of physical lust:
Lust is considered a sin in many religions because it's seen as a disordered, selfish desire that objectifies people, disrespects boundaries, and elevates personal gratification over God's design for relationships, leading to internal corruption, broken commitments (like adultery), and a focus on the forbidden rather than love and dignity. It shifts a natural desire into a consuming, irrational craving that prioritizes feeling over meaning and honor, potentially turning people into objects for pleasure.
2.) Love and lust do not meet. They move in oppsite directions.
Lust objectifies
Love values
lust is selfish and love is selfless.
Lust never really commits and gives a portion of the heart or none,
while love gives the entire heart and fully commits. Lust withholds love,
Love sacrifices for love.
Lust is reckless,
love is responsible and intentional.
Lust desires to connect physically,
love desires to connect mentally and emotionally.
Lust does not give value to the other person,
love gives value and will not violate.
Do you need any more proof that lust and love are like oil and water. They do not mix and they do not meet. They move in opposite directions.
3) Lust and Love can be compared to a mathematical line graph.
Lust representing negative integers and Love representing positive integers. Every time lust is introduced the numbers become negative. Lust cancels out love.
Lust, the gratification of s*x is being magnified. The focus is the act of s*x. Reducing the other person to an object. The result is a cold interaction. This kind of expression can be had with anyone. Reducing their relationship to a one night stand and do not understand the harm. You wouldnt cut the grass with a $300 pair of shoes or use your Mercedes as a taxi cab. Thats what couples do who will only invest in a s*xual relationship. They do not and have not learned to value a relationship that is built on trust, knowledge, respect, commitment, and honesty.
Love making, is a physical expression of the love. Love is the focus. The value you feel for one another in a committed relationship. The result is greater bonding and trust. This is the result of much work to build the relationship. And valuable enough to not throw away. This cannot be expressed with someone you dont know.
Many couples try to exist practicing lust and love simultaneously. As a result they never move beyond the “zero”. Several years later their relationship has no real strengh and commitment. It’s a ZERO. They are dumbfounded as to why their relationships is not richer in love after many years. This is because lust is a negative integer, It cancels out the positive. The more the lust the further the negative the number grows. The opposite is true when love is practiced. When love is practiced the numbers become positive.
4) There are many pit falls and hindrances in our world to “True Love”.
One pitfall is fantasy. We live in a s*x driven, p**n saturated world. The revenue made from the p**n industry is in the billions. Lust is the biggest hindrance to “true love”.
Lust is connected to “fantasy” and mystery. The goal of fantasy is purposely and deliberately not knowing the imperfections and flaws of someone. A person who lives in “fantasy” must continue to only see “perfection”. A red flag is when the person you are seeing is not interested in getting to know you deeper and your world.
A case in point; the s*x trafficking industry demands young females. A man who is bound by fantasy only want younger physically “perfect” woman.
Fantasy and Reality are opposite. This is the opposite of “reality”. Reality is required to know someone in order for “true love” to thrive.
Knowing all about someone and still valuing that person is the path to true love.
5) Many struggle with lust, a behavior that God condemns. God condemns lust. Lust is a process of disobedience. Before one lust for someone you have to:
First-disobey Gods command to love others.
Second-you must mentally remove someone’s value
Third-you will violate. justify lusting or disrespecting someone who you have mentally removed their value.
The devil removes value from people. When we remove the value of someone, we do the devils work. God gives value to people. That which has value is loved. God has given all people value.
Colossians 3:5
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: s*xual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
2 Timothy 2:22
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
1 Corinthians 6:18
Flee from s*xual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the s*xually immoral person sins against his own body
1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from s*xual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know
Galatians 5:19-21
“Now the works of the flesh are evident: s*xual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, or**es, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”
1 Thessalonians 4:5
“….not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God”.
6) Making the transition from “lust minded” to “love minded…..
First, It starts with a relationship with the “Saviour”. You must first experience the “Agape love” from Jesus Himself.
The passage below tells us, God knew all about you; the good, bad and the ugly.
God gets “real” and still knows your value. He loves you apart from your sin. He loves you but, provides you with the Holy Spirit to empower change in your life.
Romans 5:8.
“while we were yet sinners Christ died for us”
7) Making the transition from “lust minded” to “love minded…..continue
Second, accepting “Reality” is key. We must follow Jesus in that example. We must intentionally get to know people with the commitment to love them with all their imperfections. The holy Spirit will empower us to see the value of people and know they deserve love.
To love with an “Agape love” requires someone to be in-dwelt with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will empower you to see the value of a person with all their imperfections. The Holy Spirit will convict the sin of “fantasy” which is contrary to “reality”.
We are commanded to walk in love”. Communication is necessary to break out of fantasy. Love cannot occur without getting to know the heart and mind.
Sometimes fantasy can be just simply not accepting your reality and the people who live in your reality. Nonetheless, love is a commandment. With that mandate, God also provides the answer, the power to love with the help of the Holy Spirit.
8. Prayer:
Most Holy God, I did not know I have been in sin because I have not been able to accept and love people in the world of “reality”. The apostle Paul said, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance.” I ask you God for mercy for acting in ignorance. Empower me with the Holy Spirit so that I can begin to walk a sacrificial love and love people with all their flaws and imperfections and still see their value.
Thank you for the truth sets us free. In your precious Holy name, Jesus. Amen🙏
