My friend and assistant Melissa Crabtree decided to get #offthebench a few weeks ago when a mask mandate and other restrictions were proposed in her city by the city council. Today and Monday she’s sharing her story of what it has looked like to stand up and rally others to fight for liberty, even with no experience. She’s learning along the way, the Lord is bringing others to help, and it’s working. The mandate has been voted down twice now in Enid, Oklahoma! Ordinary people are the ones who need to stand up, and Melissa is sharing what she’s learned, how Christians can overcome some typical hangups that keep them sitting on the sidelines, why it matters so much. There is a place for everyone to speak up.
