2025 brought what feels like several years' worth of experiences: a new federal political administration, drastic worsening of life for families in the U.S. due to Project 2025, and a deepening struggle for reproductive freedom in Ohio and beyond. Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams look back on the year from both community and organizational perspectives, exploring how the seemingly darkest of times can be fruitful ground for growth, strategic development, and expectant preparation. Kelley and Terry highlight the amazing things that happened at Faith Choice Ohio in the past year including launching our on-demand Faith for Repro Training Center, developing 10 new mini-zine offerings, organizing across regions with various clergy & congregations, and much more!
