Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is drawing applause from both sides of the aisle for a viral monologue in which she urges Americans to be kind to one another, no matter the other person’s beliefs.

DeGeneres, in a clip from her show, explains why she sat next to former President George W. Bush at Sunday’s NFL game in Dallas between the Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers – and why they got along, too. The daytime talk show host posted the clip Monday night on her Twitter feed. 

DeGeneres said she and her spouse, Portia, were invited to the game by Charlotte Jones, the executive vice president of the Cowboys and the daughter of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. They sat in the owner’s suite. 

“When we were invited … I was aware that I was going to be surrounded with people from very different views and beliefs. And I’m not talking about politics. I was rooting for the Packers and – get this – everybody in the Cowboys suite was rooting for the Cowboys. And so I had to hide my cheese hat it Portia’s purse,” DeGeneres said, using humor to make her point. 

“… But during the game, they showed a shot of George and me laughing together. And so people were upset. They thought: Why is a gay Hollywood liberal sitting next to a conservative Republican president? [They] didn’t even notice I’m holding the brand new iPhone 11,”…

California pastor Adam Tyson recently shared on “The Pure Flix Podcast” his journey with Kanye West and believes his conversion is genuine, according to Faithwire.

The rapper, who grew up with a former Black Panther father who became a Christian marriage counselor, knew about God but ran from him.

“[T]he first time I talked to [Kanye] the first Sunday in June, he told me, ‘I got radically saved five weeks ago,’” Tyson shared. “I said, ‘Kanye, what happened five weeks ago?’ He said, ‘I was just under the weight of my sin and I was being convicted that I was running from God, and I knew I needed to make things right, so I came to Christ. I came out of the darkness into the light.’”

Tyson first became acquainted with West after he attended his church, Placerita Bible Church in Santa Clarita, California, several times. In early June, West stayed after the service to talk with the senior pastor. Ever since, the pair have met weekly to discuss the Bible.

“I spent about three hours just going through the gospel, making sure he understood clearly about the atonement of Jesus Christ, that God is holy, that we are sinners, that Christ came to die in the place of sinners, that by repenting and believing in him, we can have eternal life,” Tyson said. “And [West] was like, ‘Hey, man. I told you. I’ve been radically saved; I believe that…

In a press conference on Friday, President Donald Trump told the nation he believes a revival is coming because of his struggle with the media and Democrats.

“I got a call the other night from pastors, the biggest pastors, evangelical Christians. They said that they have never seen our religion or any religion so electrified,” Trump said, according to the Christian Post. “They say they have never seen anything like it. Churches are joining. Hundreds of thousands of people. And you know that’s to a large extent because of you and your partners, the Democrats.”

Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas agrees with the President.

“Look, I don’t pretend to speak for all evangelicals, but this week, I have been traveling the country and I’ve literally spoken to thousands and thousands of evangelical Christians,” he said to Fox News. “I have never seen them more angry over any issue than this attempt to illegitimately remove this president from office, overturn the 2016 election and negate the votes of millions of evangelicals in the process.”

“And I’m gonna say this, and it may cost me some book sales but I’m gonna say it anyway. Thank God we have a president like Donald J. Trump who understands that [the left is trying to destroy America],” Jeffress continued at the National Quartet convention in Tennessee….

The judge who gave a Bible and a faith-themed word of encouragement to Amber Guyger is defending her actions, saying the interaction took place after the trial and was intended to help Guyger become a better person. 

“She asked me if I thought that God could forgive her and I said, ‘Yes, God can forgive you and has,’” Judge Tammy Kemp told the Associated Press.

“If she wanted to start with the Bible, I didn’t want her to go back to the jail and to sink into doubt and self-pity and become bitter,” Kemp said. “Because she still has a lot of life ahead of her following her sentence and I would hope that she could live it purposefully.”

Guyger, a former police officer, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison for the 2018 death of Botham Jean. Guyger had entered his apartment, allegedly thinking it was her apartment, and shot Jean. 

Jean’s brother, Brandt Jean, took the witness stand after the sentencing to tell Guyger he forgave her and wanted her to give her life to Christ. 

Moments later, Kemp gave Guyger a Bible and pointed her to John 3:16. Kemp reportedly told Guyger that God “has a plan for you.” The Freedom From Religion Foundation filed an ethics complaint against Guyger with the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct, claiming she violated her code of conduct. 

Kemp told the Associated Press it was the…

A woman is launching a charity that will help hundreds of young transgender people return to their original sex.

According to Sky News, Charlie Evans, who was born female, but transitioned to male, transitioned back to female.

“I’m in communication with 19 and 20-year-olds who have had full gender reassignment surgery who wish they hadn’t, and their dysphoria hasn’t been relieved, they don’t feel better for it,” she says.

“They don’t know what their options are now.”

She said “hundreds” of people have contacted her for help.

“I think some of the common characteristics are that they tend to be around their mid-20s, they’re mostly female and mostly same-sex attracted, and often autistic as well,” she said.

Charlie says that a young woman who had transitioned to a man and then back to female asked Charlie for help and that led to the idea of her charity, The Detransition Advocacy Network.

“She said she felt shunned by the LGBT community for being a traitor. So I felt I had to do something.”

A detransitioned woman, “Ruby,” told Sky News that she began identifying as a male when she was 13. She took testosterone to deepen her voice and grow facial hair. She was even planning surgery to remove her breasts.

However, in May, Ruby decided to detransition to female.

“I didn’t think any change was going to be enough in…

As the effort to impeach President Trump ramps up, a second whistleblower has reportedly spoken to the inspector general and retained legal counsel.

The secondary individual is being represented by Mark Zaid, the same attorney who is acting on behalf of the original whistleblower who triggered a presidential impeachment inquiry after revealing questionable details of a conversation between President Trump and the leader of Ukraine.

Experts have warned that a second, corroborating whistleblower could be devastating for the President, as it may debunk his claims that the whole thing has been made up. Trump is accused of using his position to enact a “quid pro quo” with the Ukrainian leader after requesting he help investigate his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, over Ukrainian business deals made by his son, Hunter.

Despite a redacted version of the phone call transcript being released by the White House, the original whistleblower insisted that senior government officials had attempted to bury the records on Trump’s orders. “This set of actions underscored to me that White House officials understood the gravity of what had transpired in the call,” the first whistleblower said in their statement, according to ABC News.

“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son,” Trump told Zelenskiy at one point during the call. “A lot of people want to find out about that so whatever…

5-year-old Weston Newsanger had a lot to celebrate last month, he was turning 5-years-old and also celebrating two years of being cancer-free. When his mom asked him what he wanted for his birthday, however, he decided not to ask for anything for himself, instead, he asked his mom to get toys for the kids at a local children’s hospital.

“I asked him what he wanted for his birthday and his response was, ‘I don’t need anything. I want playdough and dinosaurs to give to the children at the hospital,’ his mom, Amy Newsanger, posted on Facebook on Aug. 16, adding, “Weston has such a big heart and I want to make this a moment he won’t forget.”

The hospital was Penn State Children’s Hospital in Hershey, where he was treated for a soft tissue cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma, beginning in 2016.

In that initial post, Newsanger, acknowledged the nexus of Weston’s birthday, the two-year anniversary of his completion of treatment and childhood cancer awareness month.

Within the week, Weston was well on his way of making it a moment he won’t likely forget.

“Weston is so excited when he gets a package to add to his pile,” Mom wrote in an Aug. 22 post. “So far we have 134 packs of Play-Doh, 2 monster trucks, over 60 dinosaurs and 1 Spiderman. We have also been given monetary donations for him to go pick things out…

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments to redefine “sex” in federal law.

As Christian Headlines previously reported, the case centers on a Michigan Christian funeral home that fired a biological male employee who wished to wear a female uniform during a funeral and thus violating the business’ sex-specific dress code. When the employee sued, a lower court decided that the funeral home must allow their employee to dress as a woman based on the employee’s gender identity.

An appellate court later ruled that it’s “analytically impossible to fire an employee based on that employee’s status as a transgender person without being motivated, at least in part, by the employee’s sex.”

The ACLU believes, according to Buzzfeed News, that the funeral home violated a precedent set in 1989’s Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins hearing, in which a woman was denied partnership at her firm because she did not “act like a woman.” The discrimination, the court ruled, was based on gender stereotypes.

The Alliance Defending Freedom, who will argue the case on behalf of the funeral home, believes that redefining “sex” as “gender identity” would be dangerous.

“Americans should be able to rely on what the law says. Redefining ‘sex’ to mean ‘gender identity’ creates chaos, is unfair to women and girls, and puts employers in…
