"We look at the radical homosexual agenda in this country and we think, 'They're too big, too powerful, too well financed. And after all, I'm just a grasshopper.' So we silence ourselves."

Parshall concluded, "Our mandate is to be faithful, to be obedient. It's not necessarily to be successful. If we can't pass a certain piece of legislation, we think we should no longer stand up and let our voices be heard. That's a hellish lie and it's gotten us into a position of silence and being ineffectual for the kingdom.

"We've forgotten how victory in the kingdom is defined," she added. "We win every time we speak the truth in love in the marketplace of ideas. It's not whether we get a particular judicial nominee on the bench: we win every time we articulate the precious truth that sets the captive free."
