Key Takeaways

1. “Social media is today’s public square—if we lose it, we lose a generation.” The primary battlefield for truth is online.
2. “Government suppression of speech is the greatest modern threat to evangelism.” When truth is labeled as misinformation, it’s the Gospel that suffers most.
3. “What happens when the Gospel is deemed hate speech?” For years, Christian content has been flagged, restricted, or removed. This is the moment to reclaim the narrative.
4. “Facebook changed its policies after meeting with Trump—coincidence?” Social media giants are adjusting in response to new executive orders. Will the Church take advantage of this?
5. “Biblical prophecy tells us this moment won’t last forever.”Like Joseph’s years of plenty before famine, this is a time to act before suppression returns.
6. “Paul told us: Our battle is not against flesh and blood.” The opposition to free speech is deeper than politics—this is about spiritual resistance.
7. “The Church has a mission: Preach the Gospel while we still can.” If we remain silent now, will we regret it when the window closes?
8. “The enemy works in deception—when truth is silenced, lies thrive.” If the Church doesn’t speak, culture will shape beliefs in its absence.
9. “It’s not just about protecting speech, it’s about protecting souls.” Every time the Gospel is suppressed, lives remain in darkness.
