Supreme Court Considers Christian Therapist Case
Faith Facts
- The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a case challenging Colorado’s law banning therapy for minors seeking help with sexual orientation or gender identity.
- Christian therapist Kaley Chiles argues the law infringes on her First Amendment rights to free speech and religious freedom.
- The law targets licensed professionals, not unlicensed pastoral counselors or life coaches.
The Supreme Court’s decision could shape the freedoms of faith-based counselors and impact the rights of families seeking biblically-aligned care for their children. Christian advocates warn that government interference may silence voices upholding traditional values.
Alliance Defending Freedom attorney James Campbell defended Chiles, warning that the Colorado ban censors religious and moral speech under threat of enforcement, despite years without prosecution.
As Campbell explained, “These laws are historic outliers,” and suppress counselors standing for biblical truths about identity and healing.
Colorado officials claim the law regulates clinical treatments, not beliefs or conversations, but the ongoing investigation into Chiles demonstrates a real risk to Christian professionals.
Faith leaders understand this law could create a chilling effect on those offering hope consistent with Christian doctrine, standing firm for truth even when challenged in the courts.
Christian citizens must pray for wisdom among the justices and courage for those defending religious liberty and parental rights today.

- Adam Christopher Sheafe, 51, charged with first-degree murder for pinning 76-year-old Pastor William Schonemann’s hands to a wall in crucifixion pose.
- Sheafe sought guilty plea and immediate death sentence in court to deliver quick justice for victims’ families.
- Crime part of alleged plot targeting 14 pastors nationwide due to their Christian faith.
This heinous attack on a devoted shepherd of New River Bible Chapel echoes biblical persecution of the faithful, demanding swift divine justice in our land.
Authorities linked Sheafe via burglary evidence, backpack items, and stolen truck after responding to the April 2025 scene.
Prosecutors filed charges including burglary, kidnapping, theft, trespass, and three attempted murders, vowing to pursue capital punishment.
“It’s an undisputable fact that the victim, Pastor Bill Schonemann, was over 70 years old. It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous,” Sheafe declared in court.
“From day one, I’ve said I did this. These are the reasons why I did this, and I’m not contesting anything,” he insisted.
In a confession, Sheafe admitted crafting a crown of thorns for the pastor and plotting assaults in cities like Las Vegas and New York while avoiding bystanders.
Believers must rally in prayer for protection over pastors, upholding America’s godly heritage against Satanic assaults on faith and freedom.

Today, she marvels at simple sights like individual leaves, a miracle post-surgery.
