‘Free to be Faithful’ – Fall 2025 newsletter

The Free to be Faithful® newsletter highlights important and relevant details on religious liberty issues that impact the rights of Christians to live faithfully.

In the Fall 2025 issue, read about:

The religious implications of ongoing litigation between The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod and Concordia University Texas, Austin, Texas.

A June ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that upholds the rights of parents to opt their children out of public school instruction that conflicts with their religious beliefs.

The 10th anniversary of the divided Obergefell decision that made same-sex marriage legal in the United States. As Christians have come under increasing fire for standing up for their beliefs about marriage and sexuality, the four Supreme Court judges’ dissents continue to be relevant.

The Johnson Amendment and the church’s role in clearly and freely speaking the whole counsel of God.
