By Greg Gudorf on July 29, 2017
Human trafficking is selling people, often young girls, into slavery. They are traded, sold, used, and discarded without any regard. People become objects, with inhumane and terrifying purposes.

Religious Freedom Event to Equip and Encourage Christians
By Justina Miller on October 4, 2016
In the Pure Flix film, “God’s Not Dead 2,” Pat Boone’s character, Walter Wesley, declares, “People seem to forget that in this day and age, the most basic human right of all is the right to believe.” Wesley’s words ring true to today’s Christians who live in a culture that becomes less and less tolerant to practicing religion, believing in God, and following the moral compass of one’s faith. In response to our nation’s failure to defend religious liberty, the Pensmore Foundation, the College of the Ozarks, and the American Family Association (AFA) are cosponsoring the Pensmore National Symposium on Religious Liberty at College of the Ozarks on October 7.

By Greg Gudorf on April 26, 2016

When a teacher is put on trial for even saying the name of Jesus in a classroom, as happens in the Christian movie God's Not Dead 2, the thought of living out our faith in public and the workplace can be a frightening notion. Pat Boone, the legendary singer, actor, and so much more, is an inspiration to Christians everywhere because he does just that -- he publicly lives out his faith and shows others how it can be a source of strength and consolation in times of trial.
