First Liberty Live!

Why is the Left Attacking Us?

The enemies of faith are taking notice: people of faith are standing up for their beliefs and winning back their constitutional freedoms.

And they don’t like these victories one bit.

Because we win, the attorneys and staff at First Liberty along with our brave clients draw a lot of attention… both positive and negative.

You see, anti-faith Leftists in the media choose to mischaracterize and misrepresent our work and the people of faith we help.

That’s why I’ve asked First Liberty’s Chief Legal Office to clear up the misconceptions generated by recent articles like Slate Magazine’s “The Religious Right Isn’t Hiding What It’s Doing in the Courts.”

The Future of Faith and Freedom

Right now, there’s a war waging over our culture. And many of us feel like we can’t make a difference in this fight. But a group of everyday Americans are taking a stand for faith. And you can join them.

We call it, the Future of Faith and Freedom or F3. F3 is dedicated to helping these up-and-coming generations learn how they can move the needle for faith in an impactful and meaningful way.

Listen to F3 Leaders Nathan Shackelford and Shaun Frederickson explain this growing movement and how it will shape our nation for generations to come.

Who Opposes Kids Bible Classes

First Liberty client LifeWise Academy is an education program available to public schools that teaches the Bible to students who might never be exposed to it otherwise–during school hours.

LifeWise is currently being attacked by both the Freedom from Religion Foundation and the leftist media.

The notoriously anti-faith Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) recently sent a letter to 600 school districts in Ohio “warning” school officials about the mission of LifeWise Academy.

Listen to LifeWise Academy Founder and CEO Joel Penton explain how this program is making a positive impact in communities across the country and what First Liberty is doing to make sure that it’s protected from attacks.

Cease and Desist: Barn Worship Banned

For the third time in the past few weeks, First Liberty is facing off against city officials for taking an unconstitutional approach to shut down a house of worship.

In New Hampshire, the Town of Weare has used zoning laws to prevent Grace New England Church from meeting on Pastor Howard Kaloogian’s property.

In response to the town’s hostility, First Liberty filed a federal lawsuit to protect Pastor Howard’s and Grace New England Church’s right to meet and to worship.

Listen to attorney Jeremy Dys break down the shocking details of this case and what we are doing to stop this unconstitutional demand from the town.

Why Deny the Student Prayer Club?

When 5th grade student Laura at Creekside Elementary requested permission to start an interfaith prayer club, the school’s principal denied her request.

Despite having approved and promoted other clubs like the Creekside Choir, Global Reading Challenge, Green Team, Safety Patrol and Pride Club, the principal told Laura that her only option for a prayer group was to pay for space like outside groups.

Hear from Laura first-hand and learn how this fight has impacted her faith as well as her vision for the prayer club that’s being denied.
