Jun 26, 2024•47 min•Ep 133•Transcript available on Metacast If you’re following 1819 News, you’ve heard the horror stories of pornographic books placed in the children's section of public libraries across Alabama. You’ve probably asked yourself if this is really happening, too. It is.

These people are purposefully corrupting the innocence of children. This week, we hit this disgusting t...
Jun 19, 2024•46 min•Ep 132•Transcript available on Metacast When people think of missions, the images that usually come to mind are romanticized versions of what really takes place. Ministry is messy and missions even more so. Giving yourself wholly to the service of others always comes with perils. But now imagine a ministry that sees your family sacrificing for and growing close to people who end up shot or dead because of gang violence. That isn't on the flyers at the North American Missions Board, but it is a reality for those called to bring the mes...

May 29, 2024•44 min•Ep 129•Transcript available on Metacast Another year, another session and gambling is still illegal in Alabama, but just barely. This week Bryan sits down with 1819 News’ Editor in Chief Jeff Poor to dive into Alabama’s 2024 legislative session.

But not all was lost, the...
May 22, 2024•47 min•Ep 128•Transcript available on Metacast Lies are the native language of feminists, whether they call abortion healthcare or tell women they can't be fulfilled unless they’re stuffed in office cubicles, climbing the corporate ladder.

May 15, 2024•50 min•Ep 127•Transcript available on Metacast Much of the cultural decadence in our land can be placed at the foot of those in authority who have failed to act.

Anyone in authority who fails to keep that filth out of the hands of children is either a punk or a pervert, there is no other way to see it. They are either cowards or...

May 01, 2024•42 min•Ep 125•Transcript available on Metacast The COVID lockdowns pulled back the curtain on every level of our society. We quickly found out who has the courage to stand on principle and who caved to the tyrannical forces of power. In a deeper way, we came to see what our leaders, friends, and family really valued. The results were deeply troubling. For many of us, our faith is our core strength and motivator. It shapes our every action and inaction. As faith is our guide, we need our pastors, our shepherds, to be courageous in the face of...

Apr 03, 2024•44 min•Ep 121•Transcript available on Metacast It's not hyperbole to state there is a very real group of people who want to enculturate your children into a culture of decadence and wickedness.
