Standing for Truth is Not Bold—It’s Necessary

"If you don’t take your stand in faith, you won’t have a leg to stand on." — Isaiah 7:9 (The Message)

Yesterday, I watched as President Trump, surrounded by strong and beautiful women and girls, signed an executive order to protect our spaces—our sports, locker rooms, and bathrooms.

As I watched, I felt a deep sense of gratitude—and a fire that has been burning inside me for years. This has been a fight I’ve been in for a long time. A fight I’ve considered to be my hill.

For years, I’ve been standing against the erasure of women in sports. I’ve fought to keep biological men out of women’s competitions, ensuring that my daughters—and all girls—have the right to fair play, safety, and opportunities they’ve worked so hard for.

This was a moment worth celebrating, but it also raises a sobering question: Why did we ever allow it to get this far?

It’s encouraging to see an administration refuse to play along with lies—to affirm the simple truth that men are not women, no matter how they label themselves. But the fact that this even required an executive order? That speaks volumes about how much ground we’ve already surrendered.

We were never meant to beg for what was already ours. Somewhere along the way, standing for truth got labeled as "bold." But let me be very clear: It is not.

As a mom of four daughters, this fight was never optional for me. It wasn’t something I had to "muster up courage" to engage in. Some say it’s "bold" or "courageous" to speak out. I laugh at that. I am not bold. I am not brave. I am not special. I am simply obeying Jesus.

Standing against evil is not radical—it is required.

Complacency is the enemy’s playground, and as a society we have become paralyzed by fear—fear of ruining reputations, fear of losing friends, fear of what people will say on social media if we tell the truth. That fear has led to silence.That silence has led to complacency. And complacency? That’s how we got here.

It should never take an executive order from the President of the United States to fix something that should never have been broken. But this is how the enemy works.

A little lie here. A little compromise there. A whisper that says, “This doesn’t really affect me.” And before we know it, the very definition of a woman has been changed.

President Trump Took a Stand—With common sense and a pen. He didn’t just sign a document, he looked this deception straight in the eye and declared:

✖ You will not erase our girls.

✖ You will not take their hard-earned scholarships and dreams.

✖ You will not invade their restrooms and locker rooms.

✖ You will not deceive us or allow an enemy who seeks to destroy us to decide our future.

That is leadership.That is obedience.

The work is not over. An executive order is a step in the right direction, but it is not the finish line. Laws can be rewritten. Protections can be reversed. If we grow complacent, the ground we’ve gained can be lost just as quickly.

This fight has never been just about women’s sports—it’s about truth itself. Because today, it’s women’s sports. Tomorrow? It could be something far worse.

I will keep fighting for women and girls. I will keep speaking out. Not because it’s "bold." Not because it’s "brave." But because it is right.

And that is exactly what Jesus did—time and time again throughout the Bible. He stood for truth, no matter the cost. He spoke up when it was uncomfortable. He defended what was right, even when the world rejected Him. If we are called to follow Him, how can we do any less?

May God bless President Trump, this nation, and everyone who stands firm in defending the truth.

My Prayer:

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for truth, for clarity, and for conviction. Give us the strength to stand when the world tells us to sit down. Give us the boldness to speak truth when lies are louder. Give us the wisdom to recognize what is at stake.

Protect those who are leading this fight. Bless those who refuse to stay silent. And may we never back down from defending what You have created.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
