According to the American Worldview Inventory 2022 , just 2% of parents of preteens who say they are Christian actually hold a biblical worldview.
The research, conducted by Dr. George Barna and the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, essentially found many Christian parents are abdicating their responsibility to teach their kids about Jesus.

“A parent’s primary responsibility is to prepare a child for the life God intends for that child,” Barna said in a statement . “A crucial element in that nurturing is helping the child develop a biblical worldview — the filter that causes a person to make their choices in harmony with biblical teachings and principles.”
He continued, “Sadly, the research confirms that very few parents even have the worldview development of their children on their radar.”
The research indicated there’s no single reason for the unfortunate dynamic.
However, it’s not surprising to see these conditions among Millennial parents, who Barna said have the lowest likelihood of any adult generation to have a biblical worldview themselves.There is also a general rejection among more and more people in culture of the Bible as God’s definitive Word. Consider Barna found just 45% of parents of preteens read the Bible at least once a week — and around the same percentage believe it can be trusted as “God’s accurate words for humanity.”Additionally, just 52% of preteen parents who are Christians report being deeply committed to practicing biblical faith.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
