Christian Leader Steps Aside, Family Takes Priority
Faith Facts
- Kate Forbes, a Christian and Deputy First Minister of Scotland, will not seek re-election in 2026.
- Her decision centers on prioritizing early family life and upholding biblical values despite political pressures.
- Forbes’ principled faith stance highlighted challenges Christians face in modern government leadership.
Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, a committed Christian and respected public servant, has declared she will step down at the next Scottish parliamentary elections, choosing to invest more time in her young family.
Forbes, who has faithfully represented Skye, Lochaber, and Badenoch, explained her reasoning with conviction: “As I look ahead to the next election I have concluded that I don’t want to miss any more of these precious early years of family life.”
She further explained the practical challenge of balancing her duties: “I want to focus on supporting my family and I feel like it’s not possible to do that with the distance involved and the total commitment required of this job.”
Her announcement comes at a pivotal moment for Scotland. Many observers express concern about the future direction of Scotland’s government, as Forbes has served as a beacon of Christian values and common sense within her party.
Even as prevailing political winds become increasingly progressive—particularly on issues like marriage and sexuality—Forbes’ bold and biblical approach has made her a standout leader among the Scottish electorate.
Forbes has faced unjust criticism for her faith, openly acknowledging that, had she been in parliament at the time, she would have voted against same-sex marriage. Her adherence to scriptural truth and membership in the Free Church of Scotland put her in the crosshairs of cultural opposition. As a result, many felt she was unfairly denied party leadership after standing firm for her Christian convictions, with some political opponents resorting to personal attacks and labeling her a “bigot.”
Despite these pressures, she continued to serve with grace, even after losing the leadership race to Humza Yousaf. Following Yousaf’s brief tenure, current First Minister John Swinney recognized Forbes’ skill by appointing her Deputy First Minister.
Mr. Swinney offered words of appreciation, stating, “The challenges of frontline politics are considerable, and I understand the decision she has made although I wish it was not the case. I am pleased that Kate will continue to serve in my government and to make a significant contribution to the work of the Scottish National Party. I wish her and her family well and for every happiness for the future.”
As Scotland faces uncertainty in both its faith and national direction, the example set by Kate Forbes—putting family first and standing firmly on biblical principles—reminds Christians of the vital need for godly leadership in public life. She leaves a legacy of integrity and courage that will inspire believers to carry the torch of traditional values for years to come.

- Father Chad Ripperger declares entities posing as extraterrestrials are demons deceiving humanity.
- Alien abductions mirror demonic possession, ceasing when victims invoke Jesus Christ.
- Jeffrey Epstein’s island temple indicates heavy occult involvement and satanic rituals.
Prominent Catholic exorcist Father Chad Ripperger, speaking on The Shawn Ryan Show, revealed that UFO phenomena often stem from demonic mirages defying physical laws, permitted rarely by God.
These entities promote salvation without Christ, a hallmark of spiritual deception warned against in Scripture.
“Obviously some of the UFOs can be explained, some of them, by governmental experiments and things of that sort, which people are not necessarily used to,” said Ripperger.
“I actually did a conference on this more recently, where I parse out 10 different ways in which … those abduction scenarios, if you actually look at what the ‘aliens’ are supposedly doing, is identical to the same things that demons do to people who are possessed.”
“So, if you strip the veneer of the alien aspect of it off, in point of fact, what you’re dealing with is, they’re just demons,” he added.
Ripperger praised Alien Intrusion by Gary Bates, noting abductions halt at Jesus’ name, affirming biblical authority over evil.
Epstein’s depravity echoes satanic influence, driving toward ritualistic perversion as seen in disordered behaviors.
“It’s the same thing that we’ve seen elsewhere, where guys who suffer from homosexuality and they’re very heavily active, it very often degenerates into ritualistic sex.”
Ripperger affirms Western powers gripped by satanic forces craving dominion, urging vigilance through faith.
As patriots grounded in Christ, reject these deceptions, protect families with prayer, and defend freedoms rooted in God’s truth—join us in proclaiming liberty in Jesus.
