From a Detroit crack house to the National Mall: The pastor Colorado sees in June

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice Lorenzo Sewell sold drugs on Detroit's east side as a kid. His father went to prison for murder. His younger brother was killed by a car. Today he stands on the National Mall with House Speaker Mike Johnson and War Secretary Pete Hegseth, part of a national moment of rededication that organizers expect to draw 15,000 people. "We can be in a crack house or we can be in the White House," Sewell said on Fox & Friends Weekend Sunday morning. He says faith took him from the one toward the other. "God loves us and willing to reach out to us regardless." Next month, Colorado will meet him in person. Sewell now leads Detroit's 180 Church and is one of the faith leaders at Rededicate 250, the National Mall gathering marking the country's ap...

The real Thanksgiving story still matters

By RMV Editorial Board Every November, we reach for the familiar version of Thanksgiving—the one with corn, a moment of goodwill between cultures and a picture of exhausted settlers saved by generous neighbors. There’s some truth in that telling, but only a sliver of the real thing. The actual history is rougher, more straightforward and far more connected to the country we’ve become. It is also a story that has been quietly pushed to the side. What follows is one of the clearest tellings of what actually happened. It isn’t sentimental, and it isn’t polished for classroom posters. It’s Rush Limbaugh reading straight from Gov. William Bradford’s own journal, the colony’s longtime governor and chief chronicler—a primary record of the Plymouth settlement and the decisions that mad...

Glenn Beck delivers 9 transformational truths at TPUSA event

By Joseph MacKinnon | The Blaze Beck indicates he was readying to turn his radio slot over to Kirk ahead of the TPUSA founder's assassination. Prior to his assassination, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk invited Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck to join him on his fall campus tour. Honoring his promise to his faithfully departed friend, Beck took the stage alone on Thursday to a packed house at the Chester Fritz Performing Arts Center on the University of North Dakota campus in Grand Forks. https://twitter.com/TPUSA/status/1976443245606715806 In addition to discussing American greatness and the moral complexity of U.S. history with the aid of artifacts from his vast museum collection — an American history collection he claims trumps all others in size with the exception...

Michigan church massacre: Leavitt points to anti-Mormon hate as Trump calls it ‘attack on Christians’

By Emily Crane | New York Post President Trump blasted the deadly shooting at a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints church in Michigan on Sunday as an attack on Christians — as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt indicated the gunman “hated people of the Mormon faith.” “This appears to be yet another targeted attack on Christians in the United States of America,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in the wake of Sunday’s carnage in Grand Blanc Township that left at least four dead and wounded eight others. “THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!” The FBI was still working to determine what motivated the maniac — identified as 40-year-old Iraq War vet Thomas Sanford – to ram his US-flag adorned pickup truck in...

From CSU Canvas Stadium to classrooms: Colorado faces a culture reckoning

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice At CSU’s vigil for Charlie Kirk, speakers moved from grief to courage, tying the moment to a generational fight for truth. In Fort Collins, Canvas Stadium was bathed in light as thousands raised their phones in unison, a modern candlelit vigil for Charlie Kirk. The glow stretched across the stands, a silent tribute led by the students he had inspired. Thousands filled CSU’s Canvas Stadium for the Charlie Kirk vigil. “Conservatives and Christians on college campuses were told to be quiet, but Charlie gave us our voice to stand up for what we believe in, to love America and to love Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, our king,” said Gabe Saint, president of Turning Point USA’s Wyoming chapter. He described hundreds of students reaching...

To American Youth: We’re passing you the torch

By Jen Schumann | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice I’m writing this from a rainy weekend in Vallecito, Colorado, sitting in a small A-frame with my young adult son. It’s quiet here, but grief followed me. In the past I think about how inadequate I am to help my children and grandchildren face adversity and challenges in life and I see how fallible my attempts are. And yet, in this moment, I feel — with Charlie Kirk — emboldened in a way I never have before, even though we are heartbroken. To American youth: this is for you. Like so many others, I’ve been wrestling with how to make sense of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I am a mom, a grandma and a former teacher. But like Charlie taught countless young people, we don’t stop when life is heavy — we take up the torch. What...
