THE TEXAS WOMAN’S PRIVACY ACT
Discussed by Valoree Swanson
with Valoree Swanson (www.valoreeswanson.com)

Texas State Representative Valoree Swanson authored the Texas Woman’s Privacy Act during the 2025 Legislative Session. Unfortunately, it was blocked in committee, but thankfully Governor Abbott added this issue to his call list for the next Special Session, set to begin on July 21.

Today, Valoree explains what stopped the bill from becoming a law and what we can do to help. Valoree Swanson represents Texas House District 150 in Northwest Houston.

Click here for more information about the Texas Women’s Privacy Act.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

In Texas, are men and boys welcome in private spaces reserved for our wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, and granddaughters? Valoree Swanson points out that there is not a single law in Texas prohibiting a man from entering women’s private spaces – even if they are dressed like and identify as a man!

How many states have elected to protect women in their private spaces?

What was the road block to the Texas Women’s Privacy Act in Texas?

Have any Democrats given their support for Valoree’s bill or Senator Mayes Middleton’s companion bill?

What can we do to help? PRAY PRAY PRAY and click here to sign the petition to protect women in Texas.

JUST SAY NO TO THE FLU SHOT!
Discussed by Dr. Jane Orient
with Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (www.aapsonline.org)

It seems that at every doctor or pharmacy visit I am asked:  “Have you taken you flu vaccine this year?” Why are they so persistent?

Today, Dr. Jane Orient discusses the dangers of the flu vaccine. Dr. Orient is the Executive Director for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

Click here to read the Public Health Warning released by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has the flu been eradicated since the flu vaccine was first introduced?

Is the flu vaccine effective?

Why must the flu vaccine change every year? Dr. Jane Orient explains why this is true and just how many diseases have been completely eradicated after a vaccine has been introduced. NOTE: That list is very, very, very short…

Is the flu vaccine without risks?

Under the leadership of Robert Kennedy, JR. is the CDC still recommending the flu vaccine?

Are more and more people beginning to see the truth about vaccines?

LOVE LIKE FAMILY: BROTHERLY AFFECTION
Discussed by Pastor Steven Morris
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 5

What is “brotherly affection”? Does it matter that we grow in brotherly affection? How do we show one another brotherly affection?

In a world that constantly pulls us in every direction, God calls us to grow in Christ one step at a time. In this 7-week series, the pastors at CFBC will walk through the powerful progression found in 2 Peter 1:5–7, where Christians are called to “make every effort” to add to their faith: virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love. This isn’t about willpower. It’s about spiritual formation and partnering with God to become the person He is calling you to be.

This week, Pastor Steven Morris presents the sermon on brotherly affection. Pastor Steven is the lead pastor at the Champion Forest North Klein Campus.

Find Pastor Steven Morris’s sermon here.

Find Pastor Steven Morris’s sermon notes here.

If you have questions about a sermon, please contact Champion Forest at questions@cfbc.org


QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Can spending time with other believers strengthen our brotherly affection for one another and the world? Are small groups really that important? Do they really help us connect? Pastor Steven reminds us that small groups are great for kids, too!

Are you serving in your church? “See a need. Fill a need.”

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Be friendly – with a purpose!
Get connected – it’s good for the soul!
You cannot show brotherly love without knowing Jesus!

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, text the word JESUS to 77069 and a pastor or counselor from CFBC will call you back.

PRAYER
Discussed by Terry Lowry
with Host of the What's UP Radio Program

Heavenly Father,

Be gracious and patient towards your children. Too many are perishing for lack of knowledge.

Withhold your hot anger towards their rampant rebellion. Do not turn them over to their reprobate minds.

May they hear a clarion call for righteous and holy living from the pulpit.

May your Word speak to them from their devices and screens.

May your precepts clearly and decisively direct their steps.

Your Word commands us to be sober-minded and watchful, because our adversary, the devil, prowls like a roaring loin, seeking someone to devour.

Your Word commands us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. May nothing we say or do hinder anyone from seeing the Truth of the Gospel.

Father God, be glorified.

Holy Spirit, move across our land.

Lord Jesus, may the harvest be abundant.

We humbly lift this plea to the throne room through the precious name of Jesus,

Amen
