    Congress Codifies 28 of President Trump’s Executive Actions in One Big Beautiful Billhttps://www.speaker.gov/2025/07/08/congress-codifies-28-of-president-trumps-executive-actions-in-one-big-beautiful-bill/Trump Administration Ends Taxpayer-Funded Education for Illegal Immigrantshttps://www.ntd.com/trump-administration-ends-taxpayer-funded-education-for-illegal-immigrants_1078228.htmlChurch discipline no longer practiced in most Protestant churches: Surveyhttps://www.christianpost.com/news/church-discipline-no-longer-practiced-in-most-protestant-churches.htmlCatholic Priest Denies Communion to UK Politician Who Voted for Assisted Suicidehttps://www.lifenews.com/2025/07/01/catholic-priest-denies-communion-to-uk-politician-who-voted-for-assisted-suicide/The Secret 15-Year Plan Behind US Strikes on Iranhttps://www.theepochtimes.com/article/how-the-pentagon-made-a-bunker-buster-specifically-for-fordow-5878647Ever wonder what happens when Hollywood fiction becomes military reality? This week's episode reveals the jaw-dropping parallels between the Iran strike on the Fordow nuclear facility and Tom Cruise's mission in Top Gun Maverick. We unpack how a 30,000-pound bomb, developed specifically for this target over 15 years, successfully neutralized an underground nuclear facility that many thought impenetrable. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency's dedication to this mission consumed more supercomputing power than any other American project - a testament to strategic foresight and technological prowess that protected global security.We celebrate a legislative milestone as Congress codifies 28 of President Trump's executive actions into statutory law, transforming easily-reversible orders into enduring legislation. From border security measures to enforcing the Hyde Amendment and planning America's 250th birthday celebration with a Garden of Heroes, these achievements now have staying power beyond any single administration. This represents a significant shift in how the government approaches immigration, national security, and American heritage preservation.The conversation takes a thought-provoking turn as we examine a Catholic priest in Britain who denied communion to a Member of Parliament for voting against church doctrine on assisted suicide. This raises profound questions about faith in public service, especially when politicians claim their religious beliefs have "zero relevance" to their legislative work. Should elected officials compartmentalize their faith, or should their deeply held convictions inform their public service?We conclude with news that the Trump administration has ended taxpayer-funded education for illegal immigrants, reversing decades of practice dating back to the Clinton era. This policy shift embodies the principle that government services should primarily benefit the citizens who fund them through their tax dollars. As Education Secretary Linda McMahon emphasized, federal resources should prioritize Americans first.Support the show

  • Part Three: Faith and Freedom: Freedom's Price
    America's Hidden History DVD SetForget everything you thought you knew about America's founding fathers. Beyond the powdered wigs and revolutionary rhetoric were men of profound faith who saw divine providence in the birth of our nation.This eye-opening exploration reveals how deeply Christianity influenced the architects of American freedom. Charles Carroll, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration, outlived his contemporaries to the astonishing age of 95 and used his immense wealth to permanently endow churches in rural Maryland. Benjamin Rush, whom John Adams ranked alongside Washington and Franklin in importance, founded the Sunday School Movement and established America's first Bible society.Even Thomas Jefferson, commonly portrayed as skeptical of religion, initiated church services in government buildings and attended worship in the Capitol Building throughout his presidency. Far from advocating a strict separation of faith from governance, these founders viewed religious principles as essential to maintaining the republic they created.Most revealing is how the founders themselves viewed Independence Day. John Adams wrote that July 4th should be commemorated as "the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God almighty." His son, John Quincy Adams, later declared that "the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior."Through forgotten letters, personal documents, and firsthand accounts, we discover that these revolutionary leaders weren't simply fighting for abstract concepts of liberty—they were establishing a nation built upon biblical foundations they believed essential to freedom's survival.Consider the spiritual legacy these founders intended. Their vision of America was one where faith and freedom stand inseparable—a perspective that challenges us to preserve not just the political institutions they created, but the moral principles they deemed necessary for those institutions to endure.Support the show

  • Part Two: Faith and Freedom: Freedom's Founding Voices
    America's Hidden History DVD SetFreedom has a price, and America's founding fathers paid it willingly. Behind their signatures on the Declaration of Independence lie stories of sacrifice that will move you to tears and inspire profound gratitude for liberty.Richard Stockton returned home to find his library burned by British soldiers, his livestock butchered, and his property in ruins. With six children and facing his own mortality, he left behind not just material possessions but a testament of faith to guide his soon-to-be fatherless children. John Hart, in his late 60s when he signed, fled from his dying wife's bedside as British troops closed in. For months, this elderly patriot was hunted relentlessly—sleeping in caves, creek banks, and dog houses—never spending two nights in the same place.Most Americans recognize John Hancock's bold signature, but few know he issued 22 prayer proclamations as governor of Massachusetts, calling citizens to "implore divine forgiveness through Jesus Christ our Savior." Sam Adams, reduced today to a beer logo, was known by his peers as the most openly Christian founding father. So poor his neighbors had to buy him clothes to attend Congress, Adams was nonetheless wealthy in conviction, earning the title "Father of the Revolution."John Adams demonstrated remarkable integrity when, despite overwhelming public opposition, he defended British soldiers involved in the Boston Massacre because he believed in justice. Years later, on the 50th anniversary of independence, Adams' final words—"Independence forever"—captured the unwavering commitment that defined his generation.These weren't just rich white men, as modern stereotypes suggest. They were farmers, lawyers, teachers, rich and poor, young and old, representing various Christian denominations—a true cross-section of early America. What united them wasn't privilege but the radical belief that freedom was worth any sacrifice.Take time to learn and share these stories with your family.

  • Part One: Faith and Freedom: The Hidden Stories Behind America's Independence
    America's Hidden History DVD SetFreedom isn't free—it comes with a price tag few of us fully comprehend. Behind the fireworks and barbecues of Independence Day lies a profound story of sacrifice that has been systematically erased from our national consciousness.Walking the hallowed grounds of Independence Hall, historians David and Tim Barton uncover the extraordinary personal costs paid by the 56 signers of the Declaration. These weren't merely wealthy men putting their names on parchment—they were individuals who truly pledged "their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor" and then followed through on that sacred oath.Consider Thomas Nelson Jr., who personally financed entire cavalry regiments from his own pocket. When he discovered American artillery avoiding his mansion because British officers had occupied it, Nelson offered money to any gunner who would fire directly on his own home. Today, cannonball marks still visible on his house stand as physical testimony to a patriotism that transcended personal interest.The spiritual foundations of our independence are equally compelling. The Continental Congress began with a two-hour prayer session and Bible study. John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister and Princeton president, personally educated more founding fathers than any other individual while publishing volumes of sermons. These facts demolish the revisionist claim that our founders were predominantly deists or religious skeptics.When Richard Stockton was captured by the British and imprisoned on a ship, he endured torture and starvation. Upon release, he returned to find his home destroyed, his prized legal library burned, and his livestock butchered. Facing death and concerned for his soon-to-be fatherless children, his final will began by explaining his Christian beliefs as guidance for his family's future.These stories reveal the character that birthed American independence—men who viewed liberty as a sacred trust worth defending at immense personal cost. Have you ever wondered why we're losing our freedoms today? Perhaps it's because we've forgotten what it truly means to sacrifice for liberty. Join us as we reclaim these authentic historical narratives and reconnect with the profound responsibility of preserving freedom for future generations.Support the show

  • Fractured Faith: America's Spiritual Landscape Divide- with George Barna
    America's spiritual landscape is more fractured than many realize, with shocking disparities in biblical worldview across states. George Barna's groundbreaking research shatters conventional assumptions about which regions maintain stronger faith foundations.Even in Alabama and Mississippi—the states ranking highest in biblical worldview—only about one in eight residents (12.5%) view the world through a consistently biblical lens. The national average stands at a mere 4%, highlighting a profound spiritual crisis that transcends political divisions.Texas delivers perhaps the most surprising result, ranking just 30th among 45 states surveyed. This challenges the perception of Texas as a uniformly faith-centered state, with Barna attributing this partly to significant population shifts over the past 25 years—gaining 9 million new residents while losing 5 million former Texans. Major urban centers like Austin and Houston show particularly low biblical worldview percentages.The regional rankings contain further surprises. While the South predictably leads in biblical worldview percentage, Western states—including California, Oregon, and Washington—rank second, outpacing the Midwest. Barna suggests this counterintuitive finding might indicate that faith-hostile environments actually produce more resilient, clearly defined believers who must intentionally maintain their worldview against opposition.Most troubling is New England, where only 1.8% of residents maintain a biblical worldview—less than half the national average. This represents a profound transformation for the region that once served as America's spiritual foundation.These findings demand intentional action, particularly in worldview development for children who absorb cultural values without filters. This begins with honest self-assessment of our worldviews against scripture and normalizing biblical perspectives in an increasingly secular culture. Ready to strengthen your biblical foundation?
