One of the greatest outcomes of attending events isn’t just what happens on the stage. It’s what happens around the table.

  • The conversations between sessions.
  • The relationships that are built.
  • The ideas that are exchanged.
  • The friendships that become partnerships.

The Alliance Defending Freedom Summit was a powerful reminder that we are stronger when we come together. From engaging with leaders from across the country to participating in a panel discussion on Business Leaders, Public Policy, and Religious Freedom alongside Tonya Shellnutt, Senior Director of State Government Relations at Alliance Defending Freedom, and Noah Nash, Legal Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, we were reminded that Christian business leaders have an important role to play in protecting our First Amendment freedoms.

“Business leaders don’t just create economic impact — they help shape culture, strengthen communities, and defend the freedoms that allow faith to flourish in the marketplace.” Krystal Parker, President, U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce

On the Panel

  • Krystal Parker — President, U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce

May the sound of freedom continue to ring. Thank you to Alliance Defending Freedom for hosting an outstanding summit and bringing together leaders committed to preserving the freedoms that make our nation strong.

“Free Speech. Religious Freedom. Free Enterprise. Together, we will continue to stand for all three.” Krystal Parker, U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce
