Kentucky’s 2026 General Assembly is underway, and our team is hard at work educating and advocating for Godhonoring policies to advance faith, family, and freedom.
Recent legislative victories should encourage the General Assembly to push for an even bolder agenda during this 60-day budget session. Major pro-family issues that the legislature must address include strengthening religious liberty and conscience rights, protecting women and children from harm, stopping the illegal trafficking of the abortion death pill, and ending taxpayer-funded DEI programs in our K-12 schools.
The fruit of recent legislative victories was on full display when the historic Ten Commandments monument was recently restored to the Capitol grounds. It was an honor to witness this historic restoration made possible by Rep. Shane Baker’s HJR 15 that passed last year. The Ten Commandments have had an immense impact on the legal and moral principles of our great nation and commonwealth.
I pray that the Lord will use this monumental occasion to lead Kentuckians back to the Biblical principles that our society was built upon and that lead to human flourishing. I also pray it gives our legislators the courage to restore the Ten Commandments back into classrooms this session!
While at the U.S. Supreme Court for the recent Save Women’s Sports case, I was also struck by the impact of recent state victories protecting women and girls (see page 7). Thanks to the work of Kentucky and 26 states, women and girls have been protected from some of the real harms caused by gender ideology.
In standing with thousands of advocates from across the nation, the profound impact of our state-level advocacy was clear as female athletes and detransitioners shared their powerful testimonies at the steps of the High Court.
Ultimately, as Christians, we must remember that we are in a battle for truth. And as we continue to pray that the Supreme Court upholds these laws, we must also remember the stakes are nothing less than Genesis 1—that we are created in the image of God as male or female.
I remain incredibly encouraged by the fruit that your engagement with The Family Foundation is having as we advocate for Kentucky families. Remember, government belongs to those who show up! Please “show up” by encouraging your legislators to be courageous this session!
