AP Photo/Steven Senne Two years ago this week, everything changed. We had heard the threats of COVID-19 for a couple of months by then, but by the middle of March, we were in full-blown pandemic mode.
I’ll never forget the phone call I received on March 13, 2020. At the time, I was communications director at the church where I’ve been a member since I was a teenager, and Friday was our off day. We had just heard the news that President Trump has ordered everything to shut down for two weeks to “slow the spread” of the coronavirus.
That meant we had to scramble. So my boss called me to work on a strategy to communicate the changes and what lay ahead. We had to announce that we wouldn’t be having in-person church services that Sunday — and little did we know that we would go online-only for three months. We also had to scramble to film an online service that evening.
At the same time, my dad had gone into the hospital with blood clots on his lungs. I went to see him Friday morning, but that was the last time any of the family would get to see him until he came home. His cancer had come back, and he came home with hospice care.
I know my story isn’t unique. Everyone’s lives changed when we shut down for “two weeks.” Some people’s lives haven’t changed back, and I know that some people have utterly heartbreaking stories.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. 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!
