▶ Key Takeaways
- The battle for faith and freedom did not end with the election of President Trump. In many ways, it has intensified.
- Churches, parents, Christian businesses, employees, and students are still facing legal and cultural attacks for simply being Christians.
- Some of the biggest victories in religious liberty are happening quietly—and most Americans never hear about them.
- Pacific Justice Institute is defending Christians coast to coast without charging legal fees.
- Brad Dacus says something unexpected is happening at the same time: revival is spreading, especially among young men.
- The hidden war is real. But so is the hope.
- What if everything you’ve heard about religious liberty in America is only half the story?
What if the biggest victories…
The most shocking attacks…
And the most encouraging signs of revival…
Are happening quietly, behind the scenes?
That’s exactly what Shelly and I discovered when we sat down with Brad Dacus, founder and president of Pacific Justice Institute.
I’ve known Brad for nearly two decades.
I’ve watched him fight impossible battles.
I’ve seen him defend churches, parents, students, and Christian businesses when few others would.
But even I was stunned by what he shared.
Because according to Brad…
The war for faith and freedom isn’t over.
Not even close.
“Trump Helped. But The Battles Are Still There.”
Many Christians assumed that after President Trump returned to office, the legal attacks against religious liberty would slow down.
Brad says that’s simply not true.
“President Trump did more to help religious freedom than any president in my lifetime,” Brad told us.
His judicial appointments changed the legal landscape.
But…
“The battles are still there.”
And Pacific Justice Institute is busier than ever.
Brad revealed that PJI now has:
- More than 140 active cases
- 37 offices coast to coast
- Cases involving churches, parents, businesses, employees, and students
- Legal representation provided without charge
Think about that.
Over 140 legal battles.
Most Americans have never heard about them.
Then Brad Told Us Something That Gave Me Goosebumps.
He said revival is breaking out.
Not just in America.
Around the world.
And one group is leading the way.
Young men.
“I’ve never seen more people responding to the Gospel proportional to the size of congregations than I am seeing now,” Brad said.
Young men are returning to church.
Churches are growing.
And Brad says he is seeing the same thing in Europe.
He told us about a trip to Norway.
A country many would consider spiritually dry.
Yet church leaders told him:
“We’re starting churches and they’re filling up.”
Who’s coming?
Young people.
Especially young men.
Shelly looked at Brad and said:
“That’s crazy revival.”
He’s convinced this isn’t politics.
It isn’t sociology.
It’s the Holy Spirit.
And frankly…
I think he’s right.
The School Superintendent Who Punished Parents and Their Children
Then Brad shared a story that sounds almost unbelievable.
A school superintendent in Texas allegedly canceled graduation ceremonies to protect his perfect graduation statistics.
Parents objected.
According to Brad, the superintendent retaliated.
Parents were threatened.
One student’s grades were allegedly lowered.
Even her younger brother’s grades were affected.
Pacific Justice Institute stepped in.
After more than two years of litigation…
A jury awarded the family $7.5 million.
Brad’s message to school districts?
“You will no longer get away with tyranny against parents.”
How many stories like this never make national headlines?
How many victories are happening that Christians never hear about?
That’s one reason I wanted you to hear this interview.
The Christian Employee Who Refused To Violate Her Faith
Another case Brad described involved an elderly Christian employee.
Her employer ordered her to use pronouns that violated her Christian convictions.
She wasn’t rude.
She wasn’t confrontational.
She offered a compromise.
She would simply use the person’s last name.
That wasn’t enough.
She was fired.
Today, Pacific Justice Institute is fighting for her.
And similar battles are happening all over America.
If you’re a Christian employee…
A business owner…
A parent…
Or a student…
These cases matter.
Because today’s legal battles become tomorrow’s precedents.
The Most Surprising Thing Brad Said
I expected Brad to talk about lawsuits.
I expected him to talk about activist judges.
I expected him to talk about legal strategy.
I didn’t expect him to say this:
“My goal is for Satan to have no place to go for vacation.”
That’s not legal language.
That’s spiritual warfare.
And Brad believes America is at a crossroads.
Yes, darkness is real.
Yes, the attacks are intense.
But so is the revival.
So is the courage.
So is the opportunity.
And maybe…
Just maybe…
Faith and freedom are stronger than most people realize.
