    Counseling And Free Speech - with Kelly Shackelford

    04/06/2026 | 26 mins.
    Colorado tried to do something chillingly simple: let one side of a heated cultural debate speak freely, then make the other side a punishable offense. We dig into the Supreme Court’s 8–1 decision rejecting that approach, and why it’s bigger than a single headline about “conversion therapy” bans. When the state can outlaw a counselor’s viewpoint, free speech stops being a constitutional right and becomes a permission slip.

    We’re joined by Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty Institute to explain what the Court actually protected and why it matters for minors seeking counseling, parents trying to help confused kids, and professionals who don’t want their licenses held hostage to political ideology. Kelly also walks through how this case fits the First Amendment framework of viewpoint discrimination and why even two liberal justices sided with the majority. We also talk about the Court’s recent 9–0 win for the right to bring a lawsuit when your speech rights are violated, plus a new employment case involving a college student fired after she answered questions about her Christian beliefs.

    Along the way, we connect the dots to other legal and cultural fights, including concerns about major cases still in the pipeline and how ballot initiatives could roll back extreme policies even in deep-blue states. If you care about religious liberty, constitutional law, parental rights, and free speech in counseling, this conversation puts real-world stakes on the table.

    Good Friday Good News

    04/03/2026 | 26 mins.
    Good Friday forces a question most of us try to avoid: if the resurrection is real, what does that change about everything else? We take that question straight into American history, reading the Founding Fathers in their own words and letting their Easter beliefs speak for themselves. You’ll hear unmistakably Christian statements about redemption, mercy, judgment, and the general resurrection from figures like George Mason, Charles Carroll, John Hart, Benjamin Rush, and Gunning Bedford, all discussed from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective.

    We also talk candidly about public faith in modern leadership and why it’s refreshing to hear a president speak clearly about Holy Week without treating Christian language as taboo. Whether you agree with every political angle or not, the broader point matters: understanding where America came from helps us argue honestly about religious liberty, culture, and what belongs in the public square.

    Then we pivot into Good News Friday stories that go far beyond the usual headlines. We dig into why a moon base is back on the table, including concerns about China and space weaponization. We celebrate a March Madness moment where High Point’s Chase Johnson uses his jersey number 99 to share the parable of the lost sheep and the gospel on camera. And we close with a provocative research claim from a multi-decade review of medical marijuana trials that challenges the benefits often cited in legalization debates.

    Honest Money - with Kevin Freeman

    04/02/2026 | 26 mins.
    The scariest part of America’s debt problem is how easy it is to ignore until it’s too late. We sit down with Kevin Freeman from Economic War Room as he delivers a rapid-fire briefing on what the numbers actually mean: a debt trajectory that cannot last, interest costs that threaten to consume tax revenue, and a system that keeps reaching for the same “solution” of borrowing and money creation. If you have ever felt your eyes glaze over at economic talk, this one is built to snap things into focus with plain language, memorable examples, and real-world stakes.

    Kevin also pulls back the curtain on economic warfare and why global rivals want the US dollar to lose trust. We connect the dots between BRICS pressure, central banks accumulating gold, and the long-term risk of America financing itself at low cost. Then we go where the debate is headed next: central bank digital currency (CBDC). Programmable digital money can mean surveillance and control over how people spend, which raises serious questions for anyone who values privacy, free markets, and constitutional limits.

    We close with a practical path forward that does not require waiting on Washington. Kevin explains the constitutional argument for states enabling transactions in gold and silver alongside the dollar, plus a legislative framework focused on trust standards, tax relief, and protections against government overreach. We add a biblical perspective on debt, stewardship, and leaving a better inheritance, and we challenge ourselves to stay engaged in elections and local leadership.

    Faith In The Public Square - with Ray Comfort

    04/01/2026 | 26 mins.
    A stranger climbs a billboard and changes four words into three, turning “Jesus is not God” into the exact opposite. That headline grabs attention, but what we really want to know is what comes next: is bold public action wise, does it help the gospel, and what does it reveal about the spiritual battle for the public square?

    We sit down with evangelist Ray Comfort of Living Waters to talk about courage, restraint, and the difference between being provocative and being effective. Ray shares his own billboard story, then goes deeper into a problem many churches quietly live with: people who claim Christ but show little spiritual fruit. We wrestle with discernment, distraction, and why a comfort-first message can create shallow faith that collapses under pressure. Along the way, we revisit Ray’s core evangelism approach: using the Ten Commandments and the moral law to wake up a sleeping conscience, not to win arguments but to bring people to repentance and real trust in Jesus.

    We also hit practical takeaways for leaders: why pastors benefit from seeing faith and history inside the US Capitol, how biblical worldview connects to government, and how creative outreach tools like Living Waters “gold coins” aim to start gospel conversations in everyday life. If you care about evangelism, discipleship, Christian living, and religious liberty in a noisy culture, this conversation will sharpen you.

    Making Laws Count - with Jaco Booyens

    03/31/2026 | 26 mins.
    Human trafficking doesn’t lose because we lack talking points. It wins when cases never get prosecuted as trafficking, when judges don’t know what to do with the complexity, and when our systems quietly allow predators to slip through. That’s why this conversation turns the spotlight away from national theater and toward the unglamorous place where outcomes are decided: state policy, local law enforcement capacity, family court, and courtroom follow-through.

    We share practical ways to get equipped locally through Patriot Academy, the Patriot Institute, and Constitution Coach training, because culture change and policy change require trained citizens and leaders. Then Yaako Bullions joins us from the Pro Family Legislators Conference with a direct briefing on what’s coming, including the heightened risk around the 2026 World Cup and why destabilizing the family reliably leads to child exploitation and trafficking. If you care about victim protection, anti-trafficking legislation, and real prevention, you can’t ignore how family court gaps and judicial inexperience create openings for abuse.

    We also dig into the prosecution crisis: “best laws on the books” can still produce weak results when trafficking gets pled down to lesser charges. Yaako makes the case for a specialized, constitutional human trafficking court approach to build expertise, speed timelines, and make convictions match the law. Finally, we confront the digital shift, including AI-driven coercion and the disturbing reality that many cases no longer fit the old hierarchy model, leaving communities unprepared for self-exploitation dynamics and online grooming.
