Faith & Values

The Turning Point USA chapter at Simpson University is excited to announce its inaugural event: Faith Night, taking place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Redding Civic Auditorium in Redding, California. This marks the first official gathering for the newly formed chapter on campus, and the public is warmly invited to join.

To that brave woman in the video, and to all of us feeling the weight: don't let the shadows win. Let faith prevail, and watch as it reshapes not just our hearts, but our culture. In the end, it's not the corrupt who inherit the earth—it's the meek, the faithful, the ones who refuse to break. Hold on; the dawn is coming.

As another year comes to an end, I am grateful for the many blessings that God has bestowed on us, both upon my family and upon our great country, the United States of America. We are making progress in many areas, most importantly, in the spiritual reawakening of our people, grounded in the love that Jesus Christ poured out unto humanity through his sacrifice and through his teachings. He offered us eternal salvation, no matter our sinful nature, as long as we trust in Him.

A generous and anonymous donor has offered a matching gift of up to $125,000 for NorthState Care Clinic to fund the refurbishment and to pay off the mortgage for their new facility on Victor Ave. in Redding.  As reported on Nov. 9th, the NorthState Care Clinic is preparing to move from their rented Athens Avenue location in Redding to the newly-purchased facility which is located across from a clinic that provides abortion services. The NorthState Care Clinic has saved 47 liv

Opinion, Gary Peyrot, December 20, 2025 What's Good for America? MAGA has been a hot-button for debate ever since Donald Trump popularized the phrase for his 2016 presidential campaign. Many revile the movement while others resolutely support it and even wear the moniker proudly. Making America great would seem to be a worthy goal to most (though some extremists disagree), but it raises the question, "What is really good for America?" Trump's aggressive rhetoric and blusterin

If you have not considered the Savior’s grace to be important in your life, why not choose this Christmas to ask God to show you His grace, mercy, and love. What do you have to lose, except fear, shame, frustration, and guilt?

If you have lived in Redding for a while, you might be aware of his extravagant and awe- inspiring Christmas light display seen every year on Barrel Court, known as the Big Red Barn. Or you may have been persuaded by his good humor and sincerity to buy a raffle ticket or make a donation to a charity.

A penniless prisoner with an eighth-grade education, armed only with a pencil, a few sheets of paper, and an unshakable belief that the Constitution applied even to people like him, changed the American legal system forever.

Gratitude is the best antidote for disquieting feelings of all kinds. Disturbing developments on the news can't upset you. Even personal challenges easier to bear when you are feeling grateful.

I’m looking forward to a delicious turkey dinner. When I think of the first settlers of this great land and all they endured to wrest a living for themselves and their families out of the land I am more than grateful. I am also amazed that we have it so easy. Every different part of this vast land had its own challenges, but I think of the heritage of my family—my great grandparents are buried in South Dakota—making a hard and often merciless land fruitful. The Dakotas were p

In a powerful victory for child safety, the FBI revealed that "Operation Home for the Holidays" – a two-week, multi-agency effort led by the U.S. Marshals Service – successfully located and recovered 122 missing and endangered children aged 23 months to 17 years across 10 states.

On November 13, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order entitled "Fostering the Future for American Children and Families." This order aims to reform and modernize the U.S. foster care system, emphasizing family preservation, technological innovation, support for aging-out youth, and partnerships with faith-based organizations.

Dare I Say Thank You America Veterans Day is observed annually on November 11th of each year. This year it falls on a Tuesday. The federal holiday honors all U.S. military veterans—those who served in wartime or peacetime, living or deceased.

He will be coming to meet the citizens of Redding on Saturday, November 15, invited by the Shasta County Republican Assembly. The event signals a growing interest in the North State for his faith-centered campaign.

Are we still a people who will stand by our democratic allies, or must we prioritize those who claim the mantle of the oppressed, regardless of the methods they use to assert their will?

As founder of Turning Point USA, Kirk championed conservative values like freedom, personal responsibility, and limited government, engaging critics with firm yet compassionate debate. He attacked ideas, not individuals, modeling a respect that's increasingly rare.
