Are we spending more time listening to Christian voices than opening God's Word for ourselves? This week I'm answering your questions about biblical friendship, sharing the gospel without losing heart, raising children in a confused culture, letting go of fear as our kids grow up, and why no podcast or pastor can replace a personal relationship with Christ. If you've ever wondered whether you're growing spiritually or simply consuming more content, this conversation is for you.

The road to November starts now, not on Election Day.

I've spent years telling you we can't complain about the direction of this country if we're unwilling to engage. Today, I'm talking about why primaries matter, why conservatives need to stop playing by yesterday's rules, and what each of us can do right now to help protect the future of our nation. The time to get involved isn't November—it's today.

America is standing at a crossroads, and the battle is bigger than one election. Today I'm breaking down why the SAVE Act has become the defining fight over election integrity, why four Republican senators are holding it up, and why now is the time to make your voice heard.

Then we're taking on the latest attacks against homeschooling, exposing the agenda behind them, and looking at why the fight for our children is inseparable from the fight for our country. Plus, disturbing comments from a socialist activist about "jihad" in America and why Christians can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines.

What happens when the church stops speaking the truth? Pastor Shawn Newberry joins me for an honest conversation about faithful leadership, biblical truth, the role of Christians in politics, and why too many believers have confused passivity with faithfulness. We talk about public schools, voting, the church's responsibility in the culture, and why now is the time for Christians to get off the sidelines and onto the battlefield. If you've ever wondered whether your faith should shape the way you engage with the world around you, this conversation is for you.

I just returned from Washington, D.C., after touring the U.S. Capitol with Speaker Mike Johnson, and I walked away more convinced than ever that America's Christian heritage isn't a myth—it's written into the very fabric of our nation. From biblical artwork and Scripture throughout the Capitol to the faith that shaped our Founders, the evidence is hiding in plain sight. I'll also share why Christians must engage in this cultural moment with courage, truth, and biblical discernment instead of fear or outrage. If we want to preserve the freedoms we've been given, we have to remember the foundation they were built on.

Every one of us has a past. Some of us just work harder to hide it.

Today, Mark and Amber Archer share how God redeemed two broken lives and built something neither of them thought was possible. From addiction and shame to a Christ-centered marriage and ministry, their story is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace. It's an honest conversation about brokenness, redemption, and the God who changes everything.

Content Warning: This episode includes mature themes and may not be suitable for younger listeners.

America's future won't be shaped by politicians alone—it will be shaped by the families raising the next generation.

Today, Kirk Cameron joins me to talk about America's 250th anniversary, the faith and courage of our founders, and why it's our responsibility to pass the truth on to our children. If we want America's next 250 years to look different, the work starts at home.

Most people never research the judges on their ballot—and that may be one of the biggest mistakes we make as voters. Today I'm joined by Judge Dave Larson for a timely conversation about judicial activism, parental rights, rising crime, and why the courts were never meant to become another political battlefield. We discuss the importance of an independent judiciary, the rule of law, and why every Christian should understand what's happening in our courts before heading to the voting booth.
