What is the Free to Believe Broadcast?
The Free to Believe Broadcast is a unique opportunity for your church to hear stories of individuals just like you who have been tested and have stood strong for their Religious Freedom. Learn from others about the practical ways that you can make a difference in your community. Listen to stories of how pastors, churches and culture impact teams have impacted their communities, changed legislation and raised up their church to pray and partner with others to make a difference. Hear from presidential candidates about what their views are on religious freedom.
Our freedom to believe is at stake. There are unprecedented challenges to religious freedom that have arisen under the current Administration. Use this event to gather a group of believers interested in joining or forming a Culture Impact Ministry in your church.
Is there practical hands-on participation?
YES! The four-hour broadcast is a working session that will feature stories, discussions and testimonies, with opportunities for your church to email or tweet your questions for Tony Perkins and other guests to answer during the broadcast. There will also be three opportunities for your church to break out into small groups and discuss questions.

What is the best location and set-up for our church to watch the broadcast?
This is a working session! We encourage your church to be comfortable and willing to roll-up their sleeves and participate. We suggest that you host the event in a fellowship hall or classroom with tables and chairs that easily facilitate note taking and group discussion. There will be three different breakout sessions during the broadcast to discuss the questions posed by the hosts. We also encourage you to take notes during the discussion time.
