“Drawing the line”: School boards warn HB25-1312 oversteps on parental rights, brings policy chaos

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, State, Top Stories / / , , , , , , , , ,

More than 70 school board members and education leaders have signed a letter urging lawmakers to reject HB25-1312, also known as the Kelly Loving Act.

Andrea Haitz, president of the District 51 Board of Education, warned that the bill “risks placing schools in an even more precarious legal position, especially when parents disagree on matters like gender identity or preferred names.”

Jason Jorgenson, secretary of the District 11 Board of Education and a lead organizer of the opposition letter, said HB25-1312 “risks encouraging youth to pursue a path of gender transition without appropriate parental involvement.”

Bible sales up. Church attendance rising. Revival whispers loud.

After years of more and more Americans claiming atheism, agnosticism or “nothing in particular” in religiosity, there are signs that the category is leveling off at 29% of the population, while at the same time, the continual decline of Americans who self-identify as Christians appears to have reached a plateau, according to a new study from Pew Research Center.

Slightly more than 6 in 10 of the 36,908 respondents in the Religious Landscape Study released in February consider themselves to be Christians.

Though that represents a 9-percentage-point drop from a decade ago, the stability is now a trend, Pew says. For the past five years, from 2019 through 2024, the Christian share of the adult population has remained between 60% and 64%, instead of sliding further downward.

Pastor Drake: Resurrection is the call to become fully alive, fully human–and spiritually reborn

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, Top Stories / / ,

Easter isn’t just a day we remember—it’s the day that redefined reality. The cross? It wasn’t the end. It was the narrow gate. The resurrection? Not an escape plan—it’s an invitation to walk a different kind of road. 

One paved not by religion, but by redemption. Not by performance, but by passion. 

Through the suffering, death, and triumph of Jesus Christ, God revealed the true way to life: a restored, fully human life—and very few ever experience it, even among those who call themselves religious.

Tristan: Politics came between me and my daughter – love and faith brought us back

Commentary, Approved, National, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / , , ,

A fundamental hallmark of the saga of human history, has been and continues to be, invention. Take communications for example. Less than 200 years ago, we relied on the Pony Express to send and receive communications over long distances. Then, on May 24, 1844, Samuel Morse sent the famous message “What hath God wrought” from Washington, D.C. to Baltimore, Maryland – marking the first long-distance telegraph transmission in the United States. 

Advance the hourglass of time forward 180 years to 2024, to the first human trials of Neuralink’s brain computer devices, which will enable people with medical conditions such as paralysis, spinal cord injuries, or neurological disorders, to connect with devices using only their thoughts.

Hunter: Faith-driven schools are proving that clarity and character create safe campuses

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, Commentary, Top Stories / / , , ,

In the face of rising cultural concerns over student safety and institutional trust, a quiet but significant shift in Colorado’s educational landscape is rooted in moral conviction, sustained by ethical character, and bearing fruit in meaningful outcomes.

While negative headlines often dominate the news cycle, a growing number of schools—especially those built on faith-based foundations—are showing that principled leadership still works. These institutions aren’t just reacting to problems; they’re proactively building systems and cultures where students can thrive. This proactive approach should reassure us that safety and success are not just aspirations, but achievable outcomes. And it all begins with what they believe.

Davis: Democrat lawmakers target faith as discriminatory under HB25-1312

Commentary, Approved, Rocky Mountain Voice, State / / , , , ,

Colorado is rapidly becoming one of the nation’s most “progressive” states.

And by “progressive,” I mean “radically opposed to God, family, life, marriage, and basic human biology and aggressively hostile to anyone who holds historic conservative and Christian beliefs on these issues.”

Welcome to the modern Left—this ain’t your grandaddy’s Democrat Party.

A shepherd in the trenches: Rep. Scott Bottoms answers the call to fight for Colorado

Rocky Mountain Voice, Approved, State, Top Stories / / , , , , ,

El Paso County Republican Rep. Scott Bottoms walked the quiet State Capitol halls with his wife, prayers filling the empty space. They spent hours there—no fanfare, just a pastor seeking God’s will on a new path after years of preaching in Colorado Springs. 

Several lawmakers asked him to run for office. “I’m a pastor,” he told them. One replied, “Pray about it.” That stuck. “I almost said no,” Bottoms said. “I was scared God might say yes.” 

“I didn’t choose this,” Bottoms said. “I felt God say ‘This is your battlefield.’”

Pastor Bob: For such a time as this, we must lift our voices

Approved, Commentary, National, Rocky Mountain Voice / / , , ,

I have been asked: should Christians be involved in politics? Short answer — yes! Oh some may blurt out 2 Corinthians 6:16 in response: “What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: ‘I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.’ Therefore, come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” This does not preclude us from voicing and practicing the way and will of God.
