NOTR - PRAYER BANNED IN AUSTRALIA - 10.27.25

Today's Show: PRAYER BANNED IN AUSTRALIA - 10.27.2025

Chris discusses the ban on Christian prayer -- when praying for any members of the LGBT community -- in a law that has gone into effect in April of this year. The law is part of the New South Wales Conversion Practices Ban Act of 2024, and includes: "... performing a ritual, such as an exorcism or prayer-based practice to change or suppress someone’s sexual orientation or gender identity." The new law was challenged but then was "reaffirmed" by Attorney General Michael Daley in Sept. 2025. “Some prayers are now illegal in NSW,” said Lyle Shelton, who is the national director of the Family First Australia political party. He went on to say that: “If a mum, dad, pastor, or friend prays with someone who asks for help to follow God’s word, they could face sanction.” Since laws and doctrines have a way of creeping from places like Australia and the U.K. across the water and into the United States ... could this insanity one day be empowered in America? We discuss.
