Dear Faith Leader

Holy Week is a time to remember Christ’s sacrifice and to rejoice in the hope of His resurrection. As we enter this sacred week, we reflect on the sacrifice Christ made on the cross and the hope that His resurrection brings, which has shaped generations.

The NFAB team prays that this would be a week of renewed faith and hope for you and your family.

Romans 5:8 says, “But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

In Case You Missed It: White House Faith Office Nation-wide Call

White House Faith Office Hosts Nationwide Call with Faith Leaders

On Thursday, March 26, the White House Faith Office convened a nationwide call bringing together faith leaders from across the country featuring:

• Senior Advisor to the President Paula White-Cain
• White House Faith Director Jenny Korn
• Border Czar Tom Homan
• Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of State Chris Landau, and
• America 250 Leadership

WHAT:

Faith leaders heard directly from Senior Administration Officials on key national and global issues, along with opportunities for engagement. The call also emphasized upcoming initiatives, including the America 250 gathering on the National Mall.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Foreign Policy & Peace Efforts:

• U.S. efforts in Iran are proceeding well ahead of schedule, with a focus on clear, limited objectives

• Venezuela is an incredible success story, now on a path toward stabilization and reconciliation

Faith in Government Leadership:

• Leaders highlighted faith as a distinct strength in global relationships

• Deputy Secretary Landau emphasized America’s rich religious heritage as a major pillar of foreign policy

• White House Senior Advisor Pastor Paula White-Cain noted, many serving today are not only skilled leaders, but people who see their work as a calling and assignment from God to serve the nation.
  

Call to Prayer & Engagement:

• Deputy Secretary Landau requested prayer from the group, that God would continue to grant wisdom.

• White House Senior Advisor Pastor Paula White-Cain encouraged leaders to amplify all they heard on the call and invite others into the work
  

Legislative Focus:

• Discussion of the SAVE Act that impacts the faith community included:

• Preventing gender-transition procedures for minors

THE WHY:

This call reflected a growing alignment between faith leaders and national leadership—recognizing that faith is not separate from public life, but foundational to it.

Transgender Sports in Court

Protecting Girls’ Sports: Federal Lawsuit Targets Minnesota Policy

The Trump administration has filed a federal lawsuit against Minnesota over policies allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports. Attorney General Bondi stated the Administration will not allow policies that “ignore biological reality and unfairly undermine girls on the playing field.”

WHAT:

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing the:

• Minnesota Department of Education
• Minnesota State High School League

Claim: Violation of Title IX (federal law protecting sex-based equality)

Argument:

• Biological males competing in girls’ sports = unfair advantage
• Access to female locker rooms = privacy concerns
• Federal funding ($3B+ annually) is tied to compliance

THE WHY:

This is about fairness, safety, and truth. Title IX was created to protect opportunities for girls—not redefine them. For people of faith, this reflects a larger moment:

• Will we uphold what is true?
• Will we protect what is vulnerable?

This is more than policy. This is a cultural and moral test.

WHERE AND HOW:

The case will now move through the courts. Similar actions are already underway in other states.

Stay informed, engaged, and in prayer as this issue continues to shape the future of education and athletics
