Pastor Rich Blum joins me for an unfiltered conversation about what happens when cultural hostility no longer stays outside the church doors. We unpack the disruption of a Minnesota church service and why moments like that demand courage and real shepherding—not silence. From COVID and government overreach to education, freedom, and biblical authority, this episode is a clear call for pastors and believers to stop playing defense and start leading. This is no time to shrink back—it’s time for faithful leadership to rise.

The knives are out—and homeschool freedom is on the chopping block. In this episode, I expose the growing push by lawmakers to bring homeschooling under government control, with New Jersey leading the charge. I’m joined by Rose-Anne Uwague (Ro), a New Jersey homeschool mom and advocate on the front lines of this fight, to break down what these bills really mean and why every parent should be paying attention. This is a wake-up call for families who value parental rights and freedom.

Iran is bleeding—and the world is quiet. Today I’m talking about why the silence is so revealing, why the media won’t touch it, and why the Left’s “human rights” outrage disappears when it doesn’t serve the narrative. What’s happening in Iran is a warning sign for the West. Pay attention.

AI is changing everything—from how we work to how we relate to one another—but the Church was never called to hide. Today I’m joined by my friend Kary Oberbrunner for a timely conversation about faith, technology, entrepreneurship, and why safety can’t be our highest pursuit. We talk about artificial intimacy, raising discerning kids in a digital age, the cost of authentic leadership, and why bold faith has always required risk. This is a hope-filled reminder that God’s people are called to engage the culture with wisdom, courage, and truth.

When a culture loses moral clarity, it doesn’t choose righteousness—it chooses chaos. From Venezuela to the streets of America, we’re watching people defend tyranny and reject truth. In this episode, I break down the spiritual roots of today’s outrage, the role of education and media, and why silence is no longer an option. God always preserves a remnant—and this is our moment to stand.

Our culture is lying about identity—and the consequences are devastating. In this bold follow-up conversation, Walt Heyer exposes how trauma and ideology fuel confusion, and why real compassion means telling the truth and returning to God’s design. This is a hard conversation, but it’s one we can’t afford to ignore.
