The school bookfair is no longer a safe place for children thanks to Scholastic Books.

Remember the excitement of picking out new books as a child? Those cherished memories have been marred thanks to the changes and concerns surrounding these fairs today.

Join us as we discuss how Scholastic's overt indoctrination through LGBT-themed books conflicts with traditional views of marriage, sex, and gender, along with a critique of their "Read with Pride" guide, which promotes an agenda contrary to God's design.

We'll also look at resources and organizations that Scholastic recommends that affirm LGBTQIA+ youth, explore counter-narratives from Brave Books, and explore alternative book fairs like Skytree that offer more wholesome literature.

Plus, insights into protecting our children from potentially harmful content.

Today's episode (108) dives into a very important yet sensitive topic—Pride Month.

In this episode, we'll be exploring pride, love and identity through the lens of God’s perspective, unpacking the often controversial phrase "love is love," and discussing the true essence of sacrificial love as defined by the Bible.

We'll revisit the symbolism of the rainbow, originally God's covenant with Noah, and address its current association with LGBT pride.

With a focus on biblical teachings, we'll talk about the complexities and challenges Christians face when navigating today's culture, especially concerning issues like homosexuality and transgenderism.

We'll also touch on the influence of public schools, workplaces, and even major retailers like Target and Scholastic Books in promoting LGBT acceptance, and how these can impact our children and communities.

Additionally, we'll discuss the troubling aspects of pride from a spiritual standpoint and the importance of standing firm in God's design for marriage, sex, and gender.
