Melania Trump Revives Iconic White House Tradition
In a heartening announcement that resonates with the core values of faith, family, and freedom, Melania Trump has declared the return of the cherished White House Easter Egg Roll. This event, set for April 21, marks the first of President Trump’s second term and promises to be a celebration of traditional values and community spirit.
Melania Trump will host the event on the iconic South Lawn, inviting families with children aged 13 and younger to partake in this time-honored tradition. The process to secure free tickets is simple and accessible, with families able to apply through an online lottery. This lottery opens on Tuesday and closes on March 10, with results announced on March 18. Each application requires at least one child and one adult, with a maximum of six tickets and two adults per submission.
The Easter Egg Roll is more than just a festive gathering; it is a celebration of Christian faith and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The egg, a symbol of new life and resurrection, serves as a powerful reminder of Christ’s triumph over death and sin. This event is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the importance of passing down these values to the next generation.
Volunteers are also encouraged to apply online to assist with the event, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose. The festivities will include live entertainment, storytelling, arts and crafts, appearances by costumed characters, and the famous Easter Egg Roll and Hunt, ensuring a day filled with joy and fellowship.
This announcement comes in stark contrast to last year’s controversy, where President Joe Biden faced criticism for designating “Transgender Day of Visibility” on Easter Sunday, a decision that many Christian leaders and conservative politicians found offensive. The Trump campaign, through spokesperson Karoline Leavitt, called the decision “appalling and insulting,” urging Biden to apologize to the millions of Christians who hold Easter as a sacred observance.
The White House Easter Egg Roll, a tradition dating back to the late 19th century, is a celebration that unites communities in the spirit of faith and freedom. It was first established under President Rutherford B. Hayes and has since evolved into a beloved public event. While it was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to public health concerns, its return under the Trump administration is a welcome embrace of tradition and values that are central to the American spirit.
In these times, when the significance of faith and family is more crucial than ever, the return of the Easter Egg Roll serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the enduring principles that have shaped our nation. As we gather to celebrate this joyous occasion, let us reaffirm our commitment to upholding these values and passing them on to future generations.

Faith Facts
- The Bible does not prohibit wise use of medicine.
- Christian heritage has advanced healing through both prayer and medical knowledge.
- Scripture calls us to value knowledge and love our neighbor, including care for their health.
Todd White’s view equating modern medicine with witchcraft does not stand on biblical ground. His call to abandon medicine not only misrepresents faith, but endangers lives and contradicts Christian teaching.
Citing the Greek word ‘pharmakeia’ for sorcery, White denounces pharmaceuticals and encourages believers to reject modern treatments.
“Logic and reason are enemies of faith,” White said, urging congregants to throw away medicine.
Yet the Bible honors both faith and reason. Christian pioneers like Florence Nightingale shaped modern healthcare, inspired by their call from God.
God utilized doctors—even Luke, whom Paul calls “the beloved physician” (Colossians 4:14)—to serve and heal.
Jesus affirmed the importance of doctors when He said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick” (Luke 5:31).
Scripture shows practical examples of medical care, as when oil and wine were used to treat wounds (Luke 10:34), and when Isaiah instructed using figs for healing (Isaiah 38:21).
Biblical wisdom encourages prayer as well as stewardship of medical advances, blessing generations with improved health and hope.
Misinformation can cause grave harm, contrary to Christ’s command to love our neighbors (Matthew 22:39) and the biblical warning that people “are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
Let us thank God for medical breakthroughs, uphold biblical stewardship, and compassionately care for others with both prayer and practical help. Faith, hope, and healing are gifts from God for the good of all.
Faith Facts
- Pastor Rod Loy, leader at First Assembly of God in North Little Rock, is accused by Suzanne Lander of abuse beginning when she was a minor.
- The church initiated an external investigation and reports that no evidence supports the allegations against Pastor Loy.
- Loy has voluntarily stepped back from a national Assemblies of God executive role while an independent review is ongoing.
Serious accusations have been made against Pastor Rod Loy, whom Suzanne Lander claims abused her for two decades, beginning in her teenage years.
First Assembly of God has responded by both conducting a thorough investigation and resolutely defending Pastor Loy, finding no substantiating proof for the claims.
The church stresses transparency and a commitment to Biblical standards in handling these concerns while supporting Loy and encouraging prayer for all parties involved.
Pastor Loy’s leadership within the denomination remains notable, as he has served faithfully since 2001 and helped oversee growth and doctrinal integrity in the church body.
As this process unfolds, let us hold firm to truth, lift up those affected in prayer, and trust that God’s justice and mercy will prevail for everyone impacted.

- Al Mohler strongly opposed Gov. Beshear’s use of Scripture to justify support for LGBT policies.
- Mohler warned that theological liberalism is becoming a rival to biblical Christianity.
- Kentucky’s legislature overruled Beshear’s vetoes on both transgender procedures for minors and abortion restrictions.
Dr. Al Mohler, a leading Christian theologian, denounced Governor Andy Beshear’s statements using the Bible to back left-leaning social positions during his appearance on
“The View.”
Mohler insisted that twisting Biblical teachings for political agendas undermines true Christian faith.
“You have historic, orthodox biblical Christianity, and you have theological liberalism and whatever it produces next.”
Mohler said.
Gov. Beshear claimed his decisions, like vetoing bills restricting transgender procedures for minors, were motivated by the Golden Rule: to
“love our neighbor as ourselves.”
He echoed this belief in other forums, including the Democratic National Convention.
“Most of the decisions I make are based on that Golden Rule that says we love our neighbor as ourself, and that parable of the Good Samaritan that says everyone is our neighbor.”
Beshear stated.
Mohler argued that such selective use of faith contrasts with the biblical Christian worldview, noting that the current cultural divide reflects competing definitions of morality rooted in either Scripture or modern reinterpretation.
A pro-life nonprofit, The Family Foundation, chastised Beshear for, in their words, distorting Biblical teaching to promote abortion and gender ideology, emphasizing that true love seeks human flourishing as defined by God’s design.
Christians must remain steadfast, upholding Scripture as the foundation for moral decisions, and pray that truth prevails in public debate. Stay rooted in faith and freedom—stand boldly for biblical values in today’s culture.
