Utility bills are climbing, and families are paying the price. NV Energy has already raised rates and they are asking for even more increases while Nevadans struggle to keep up. This is not sustainable, and it’s not just.

• Rising utility rates
• Record High Tempatures
• Housing insecurity

Disproportionately hurts Black and Brown families

Turn your faith into Action.

Faith is calling us to demand justice.

Afforable housing in Nevada is not just an economic issue, it is a moral one. Families especially black, lation, and Indegrionous Nevadas are being pushed out and stripped ot stability. AAt LEAN we are rooted in faith and justice cannot allow this to contuine.

Faith compels us to act. Every Nevadan deserves dignity, safety, and a place to call home.

Across the country, more and more Christians are talking about Christian Nationalism. The term shows up in sermons, podcasts, and political debates—but it’s often confusing. What exactly does it mean? Why does it matter for followers of Jesus? And why are so many saying it’s dangerous for the church in America?

Join us for a timely webinar:
“An Evangelical’s Guide to American Christian Nationalism.”
November 4, 2025 – 2:00 PM EST

Together, we’ll hear from leading voices in political science, history, theology, and philosophy to help us discern what Christian Nationalism is—and how the church can respond with wisdom, courage, and love.

Featuring:

Dr. David Koyzis – Political scientist and author of Political Visions and Illusions, helping Christians see how modern ideologies shape our political imagination.
Dr. Paul D. Miller – Professor of the Practice and Co-Chair for Global Politics and Security and Senior Fellow, Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, Atlantic Council at Georgetown University and author of The Religion of American Greatness, offering historical and theological insight on Christian Nationalism’s rise in American life.
Dr. Mike Austin – Professor of Philosophy at Eastern Kentucky University and author of American Christian Nationalism: An Introduction, exploring the ethical and spiritual implications of this movement.
Rev. Caleb Campbell – Lead Pastor of Desert Springs Bible Church and author of Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor, providing a pastoral vision for engaging this issue with empathy and conviction.
