What does it truly take to defend freedom and democracy today? In this introduction to our upcoming Summer Speaker Series, Jeff Funderburk explores the “Three R’s”—Resignation, Resilience, and Resistance—drawing inspiration from the Declaration of Independence, historic struggles, and modern-day callings to action.

Join us as we launch a season dedicated to examining how local activists, leaders, and community members are standing up for constitutional rights, justice, and truth.
