Judge Dave Larson is joining me here today to discuss the critical role of the judiciary in democracy, the importance of educating the public about judicial races, and the ethical boundaries judges must navigate. He emphasizes the need for judges to apply the law as written, rather than legislating from the bench, and highlights the challenges of judicial selection and campaign finance. We’re also touching on the need for reform in the judicial election process in order to enhance public awarene...

We are hearing more and more about young kids grappling with same-sex attraction. It's prevalent in the culture right now. Many kids today, many of them coming out of the government school system, see absolutely nothing wrong with transgenderism or same-sex attraction. And it's becoming an increasingly challenging subject for parents to navigate, given the fact that there are a lot of grownups in the room who are telling parents to affirm their child’s every whim. Are you prepared to handle thes...

Like many of you, I am very concerned with what's happening in the government right now, particularly as it relates to social and moral issues. Chief among them is the issue of abortion. The question in the church right now is whether or not evangelicals and Bible-believing Christians should vote for a candidate that does not have a 100% solid pro-life stance. We’ve seen some major voices in the pro-life movement refuse to vote for Trump. Pastor Rob McCoy joins me on the show today to discuss th...

A handful of states still retain antiquated laws from the 1980s and 90s, but most states have removed unnecessary legal barriers with the recognition that homeschooling works. But pendulums swing, and in America today, the pendulum frequently swings in the wrong direction. Opponents of homeschool freedom are working in new and more coordinated ways to make homeschooling harder and less accessible to parents. Legislative action to roll back homeschool freedom is being considered in three states i...

In August of 2019, the New York Times inaugurated the 1619 Project. Their goal was to offer a new origin story of the American Republic. They argued that 1776 is not the origin of America as we know it, but rather, 1619, the year the first slaves were brought to American shores, as our true origin. They, of course, sought to link every supposed evil and ill of the 21st century with the racist heritage of 1619, America's “real” birthday. If you want to understand what ideas and individuals brough...
