Week Four: Uphold God’s created reality

Christians were pioneers of medicine and hospitals.

But the system’s become sick. It’s been taken over by policies that prioritise ideology – like LGBTQ – over truth and over care.

Men are allowed in women’s spaces because they claim to be transgender. Truth is silenced. Children are told they are ‘born in the wrong body. Women are offered abortion but ignored when they regret taking the first pill. Christians are discriminated against for holding to their convictions.

This must change.

Our fourth week of Hope for our Nation sees us praying for our health and social care systems.

Watch Tim’s message, find out how we’re restoring a culture that upholds created reality and pray with us for our nation:

Here’s how we’re cultivating a movement that’s bringing our nation back to accept creation reality and biological truth:

Protecting the freedom to speak truthfully about reality

No one should be punished for speaking truthfully about created reality. We’re protecting the freedom to speak the truth by fighting high-profile cases, exposing the way Christians are punished for using biological pronouns, and ensuring our politicians and leaders support this right.

We’re also defending Christians who’ve been punished, harassed and sacked simply for affirming reality, and making sure no other Christians face this same treatment.

Securing safe women-only spaces

We are ensuring single sex spaces are protected in our laws, enforced by organisational policies, and upheld by our wider culture.

Through our landmark legal cases, we are creating a culture-shifting nationwide movement that is influencing government guidance, changing NHS policies, and preventing men from accessing women’s changing areas.

Preventing the mutilation of children through puberty blockers

We believe children deserve to grow up protected from ideologies and treatments that affirm a lie, mutilate their bodies, and cause untold physical and mental damage.

We are staunchly opposing the puberty blockers trial and exposing the damage of transgender ideology that encourages the medicalised castration of minors, labels puberty as a trauma to be avoided, and convinces children that their God-given biological sex is a curse to be escaped.

Repealing the Gender Recognition Act 2004

The Gender Recognition Act has created a rampage of damage and confusion across our culture, our institutions and our legal systems by saying a piece of paper legitimately changes someone’s sexual identity.

We must return to biblical and biological truth and repeal the Gender Recognition Act 2004. And we must celebrate and promote reality, rather than affirming gender confusion.

Advocating for the goodness of God’s design for men and women

We must show our culture the beauty and goodness of God’s design for men and women and support each individual to embrace the identity he has given them.

We’re dedicated to creating a culture-wide shift that embraces reality, upholds biology, and shows genuine love by affirming truth rather than a preferred gender identity.

We will achieve this by promoting God’s design for men and women, celebrating our unique differences, and bringing the hope and healing that only Christ can give right to the heart of our broken and confused nation.
