A Time to Speak (2014) The freedom of religious expression was chief among America's founding principles. However, today there is an unprecedented effort to deny this most basic of human rights in almost every area of American life. A Time to Speak is a 60-minute film from the American Family Association highlighting the urgent need for Christians to pray, speak out and vote. It's a clarion call for the Church to break the silence and preserve this freedom for the coming generations.
