Fox News stars Jesse Watters, Greg Gutfeld, and Harold Ford Jr. were inspired to create a daily bible study group after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, Watters said on Tuesday.

Sitting on the border of Maryland and Washington, DC, on a suburban street shaded by lush green trees, lies a small two-story ministry. As both a physical and digital sanctuary, New Ways Ministry works to educate Catholics of all identities on LGBTQ+ advocacy. From religious leaders seeking to expand their knowledge on LGBTQ+ individuals to LGBTQ+ individuals seeking security within their faith, this ministry is among the underrepresented religious groups aiming to educate, advocate and equip leaders to build bridges between the church and civil society.
