Today we’re talking to Kelsey Bolar, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum, about two important topics. First, South Dakota governor Kristi Noem’s decision to backtrack on legislation that would protect girls’ and women’s sports. This has disappointed many conservatives, wondering if she’s "sold out" to the NCAA. Then, Kelsey talks about the PRO Act, a piece of federal legislation that would make working as a freelancer or independent contractor unnecessarily difficult. It aims ...

Today we're going to discuss a heavy topic: the horrific shooting in Atlanta last week, the allegations of white supremacy surrounding the situation, and the truth behind the alleged rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. As Christians, we know each life has infinite value because we are all image bearers of God, regardless of our skin color. So, it's wrong to try to quantify the evil perpetrated in Atlanta by looking at whose skin was what color. And yet, that's exactly what the media and progressives...

Today, we’re discussing the growing border crisis happening under the Biden administration. It’s recently been revealed that thousands more migrants are coming to the U.S. than previously thought. Does the U.S. have an obligation to let them all in? Christians on the Left often quote Exodus to "prove" why America should have open borders or more progressive immigration law. This, however, is a misreading of the verse. To talk more about the border crisis, Daniel Horowitz joins the show. Daniel, ...

Today is "Women Wednesday"! (Why? Because we said so.) We'll be talking about a few news stories about women, as well as discussing the biblical idea of womanhood. Was the Grammy performance we saw from Cardi B empowering to women? There's also the drama surrounding Tucker Carlson and women in the military. We get it, and we agree, women are awesome. But maybe, just maybe, there are some jobs more suited for men. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs is celebrating National Crafting Month with...

Pope Francis just made headlines for affirming the biblical definition of marriage. This has put him at odds with progressives, who only deign to tolerate Christianity so long as it doesn’t interfere with their politics. However, as Christians know, earthly marriage reflects a spiritual reality: God is the one who gets to say what it is and isn’t. We also discuss psychology professor and author Jordan Peterson and his recent comments on Jesus and religion. --- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar is high...

Today we are discussing recent comments by Tim Keller, famous theologian and pastor. Pastor Tim Keller has been diagnosed with cancer, and his recent article in the Atlantic sheds light on how he is dealing with the finality of earthly life. His profound thoughts in this area should be of help to any Christians who finds their faith shaken by the suffering that death brings. We also discuss his take on Christian nationalism and how Pastor Keller gets a few things wrong here. What is really the b...

We start by speaking with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul about his recent legislative victory, which prevented Planned Parenthood from receiving Payment Protection Plan money that it really didn’t qualify for. Sen. Paul has also introduced legislation to improve education across America — something you’d think Democrats could get behind. Then, we discuss a rather questionable sermon in which the pastor claims women should look like Melania Trump. We also have an update on Pastor James Coates. In the sa...

First, we discuss recent comments made by John MacArthur about religious freedom. Is it right to fight for the religious liberty of those who hate you? Then, we briefly address Beth Moore leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. She's been a controversial figure in the SBC for some time, and it seems they will be parting ways. And, it was disappointing to see elements of critical race theory and other aspects of leftist social justice creeping into IF:Gathering, a conference for Christian women....

Today we're discussing the disastrous HR 1 "For the People" Act, which is anything but. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas joins us to give further details on the bill, like how it would limit free speech and make our elections less secure — the exact opposite of what the act claims to do. The congressman also tells us about his "Know Debt" resolution, which he hopes will draw attention to our nation's out-of-control debt. Then, we talk about the (shocking, just shocking) betrayal of Pro-Life Evangelicals f...

We start off the week by giving an update on the James Coates situation. You'll remember that Pastor Coates is in trouble with the Canadian government for not following COVID guidelines and choosing to open his church to all, in accordance with his faith. The jailing of Pastor Coates is a sharp contrast to another legal case in the Edmonton, Alberta, area: A sexual predator with a long history of convictions was released from jail the same week that Pastor Coates was locked up. Under what logic ...

Today we're discussing the idea of religious persecution regarding Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church in Alberta, Canada. Pastor Coates is in jail right now for holding his church services at full capacity instead of the 15% capacity mandated by the government. A point of contention among Christian circles has been whether this qualifies as religious persecution or not. To give further details and commentary on the situation, Erin Coates, the pastor's wife, joins us. We address the theology...

Yesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas will no longer have a statewide mask mandate and that the government will no longer require businesses to operate at reduced capacity. Then, we discuss New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the #MeToo moment he's having right now. Three women have accused him of harassment, and unlike Cuomo's nursing home COVID scandal, the media actually seems to care about this one. And, it's time we addressed the much-talked-about exchange between Senato...

In perhaps its most controversial move yet, the Biden administration did not honor Dr. Seuss during National Read Across America Day. If we keep canceling authors for their perceived problems, will there be any books left to read? Maybe just the ones by Robin DiAngelo or Ibram X. Kendi. This kind of cultural revolt against anything "old" has been seen before in Mao's China, to horrifying effect. The progressives of today have a similarly utopian dream, but the road to get to the equity they want...

Today we're discussing the controversy surrounding Taylor Nolan, Chris Harrison, and "The Bachelor," as well as Trump's return to the spotlight at CPAC. Taylor Nolan of "The Bachelor" has long been a champion of cancel culture and a self-proclaimed expert on all things woke. But that didn't save her from the rage mob when it was discovered that she had some offensive tweets of her own from years back. Incredibly, Taylor shifted the blame from herself to society at large. This is a classic exampl...

Today we're talking about the Equality Act as well as Joe Biden's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra. The man who succeeded Kamala Harris as AG of California, Becerra has already proved himself to be a pro-abortion politician. Christian Democrats who say they are pro-choice should really know better; one can't reconcile an acceptance of abortion with adherence to God's word, the Bible. A major piece of legislation that Democrats want passed is the Equality A...

Today we're covering a much-requested topic: the situations surrounding Carl Lentz, Ravi Zacharias, and Max Lucado. What do we do when our Christian teachers and leaders let us down? Sin can happen to anyone, and it's always sad to discover that people weren't who we thought they were. Such is the case for Carl Lentz and Ravi Zacharias, who were revealed to behave differently behind closed doors. But remember, the strength of your faith shouldn't rely on our imperfect human leaders, but on God, ...

Today we're going to break down some of the most important aspects of Judge Merrick Garland's confirmation hearing. Why is the attorney general important? What job does he actually do within an administration? Unlike the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh or Amy Coney Barrett, the confirmation of Judge Garland is expected to go relatively smoothly. We'll talk about Judge Garland's response to Sen. John Kennedy asking him about women in sports and what that means for gender issues going forward. How...

Today we're going over the corruption of Andrew Cuomo regarding COVID deaths in nursing homes. We look at the timeline of the pandemic in New York and the accusations of dishonesty by Cuomo's administration. Despite glowing coverage from the mainstream media in the past, Cuomo's corruption is finally coming to light — even though people on the Right have known for quite some time. Speaking of media coverage, we also discuss the differing responses that New York and Florida had to the coronavirus...

First we quickly address reports that Sen. Ted Cruz flew to Cancun, Mexico, during the major Texas power outage. Legendary radio host Rush Limbaugh passed away yesterday, and not a moment went by before the Left began viciously attacking him. We'll discuss the hypocrisy of the Left as well as some things we can learn from the late Mr. Limbaugh. Also, a Canadian pastor in Alberta has been arrested and is in jail for opening his church in violation of COVID restrictions. Thrive Women's Clinic in D...

For the past several days, Texas and other southern states have been slammed with record low temperatures. Many of the people and organizations in these areas were not prepared for the severe conditions, leaving millions without electricity. Frozen pipes are a problem as well, and there are heartbreaking reports of what's going on with our elderly in nursing homes during this time. Some on the Left, like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Beto O'Rourke, have claimed that this is all about climate chan...

North Carolina recently approved a new curriculum that would teach elements of critical race theory to K-12 students, despite the move being extremely unpopular. The state's lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, the first black person to hold that position, has been very outspoken in his opposition to these changes to North Carolina's education system. Robinson was in turn "attacked" by the leftist media, who accused him of racism and worse. We speak with Lt. Gov. Robinson about the attacks agains...

Today, as we often do, we're discussing cancel culture. The "cancel mob" can never be satisfied, and more celebrities are being canceled for holding views contrary to the Left, because of course, you can never be woke enough. Gina Carano of the Disney show "The Mandalorian" was fired by Disney for supposedly "abhorrent" tweets, but the same standard isn't being applied to Pedro Pascal, her co-star. Pascal and Carano both tweeted images that compared America to Nazi Germany, but only one of them ...

Today we're taking a break from the news and focusing on the topic of love from a biblical, theological perspective, just in time for Valentine's Day! Christians don't need to worry about the ever-changing standards the secular world has for what love looks like, but rather we should be concerned with conforming to God's definition of love. C.S. Lewis wrote about four types of love: storge, philia, eros, and agape. Although there is a healthy and godly place for each of these types of love in ou...

Today we're speaking with Melissa Chen, a writer for the Spectator and an expert on China. Melissa describes how the Biden administration's approach to China (or lack thereof) compares to what the Trump administration has done. Basically all that has happened so far is that Biden has reversed many of Trump's executive actions and orders regarding China, and his administration banned the term "China virus," so that's just great. Seems like the current president is more concerned with moral postur...

Today we're discussing cancel culture through a theological lens. The leftist outrage mob came for a longtime NYT writer reported to have used the "N-word" in a meeting. From a biblical perspective, Christians don't need to be worried about cancel culture, since even though the standards of the world are always changing, God's standards aren't. Then, we talk to Professor William Jacobson, who created CriticalRace.org as a resource for parents and students to see what kind of ideology universitie...

Despite cynicism from conservatives, many of the Super Bowl commercials were pretty funny this year. Some, like the Jeep commercial featuring Bruce Springsteen, tried to virtue-signal to the Right, but didn't accomplish much since the Right isn't a fan of Springsteen and the Left decried the association the commercial made between Christianity and patriotism. Some on the Left are declaring the day after the Super Bowl "Colin Kaepernick Appreciation Day," but it seems like the millionaire activis...

Today we're excited to sit down with Baylor University professor Dr. Christina Crenshaw, who has recently made headlines for questioning the Biden administration's expansion of protections for transgender people. A small but loud group of students have been calling for her to be fired, but Dr. Crenshaw is holding strong against the cancel culture mob. -- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs have the perfect subscription box for both boys & girls.

A New York Times opinion piece recommends the Biden administration create a "reality czar" to combat misinformation. That couldn't possibly go wrong, could it? The right to free speech and the truth itself are a big problem for those with totalitarian aspirations. Speaking of totalitarian, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas has introduced a gun control bill that acts as though the Second Amendment doesn't exist. And, we take a look into the horrific allegations against Ariel Robinson , which the m...

Today we're joined by school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis to discuss the driving force behind the closure of public schools. Here's a hint: It's not really because of the pandemic. Corey has tons of information to share regarding the problems that teachers' unions pose to an efficient and effective education system.
