The Pledge Myth
People can make almost anything sound sinister if they start with a scary premise and end with a confident conclusion. We slow down and do the unglamorous work: dates, documents, and plain context. That’s how we handle a question we keep hearin...
Lives Fortune Sacred Honor And The People Behind The Declaration
A Declaration of Independence signature looks heroic from 250 years away. In real time, it can put a target on your back. We dig into what that kind of courage actually costs, why the signers weren’t instantly celebrated, and how a nation’s mem...
Texas Is Building Textbooks That Tell The Whole Story
Texas is about to do something that almost never happens in modern education: force textbooks to tell the full story. From the hearing rooms of the Texas State Board of Education, we explain why a vote on social studies standards is not just a ...
The Courageous Church - with Bob Pearl
Nearly 5,000 men show up in Washington State, and what we hear afterward isn’t a victory lap, it’s a sober signal that something is shifting. We talk through highlights from FreedomCon at the Gorge and why it feels less like a passing revival m...
Building on the American Heritage Series: Demystifying the Courts
Courts shape our daily lives, but most of us were taught a version of the judiciary that the Constitution never actually designed. We dig into the biggest myths head-on: the idea that federal judges are appointed for life no matter what, that t...
Founders Under Fire
The Founding Fathers are quoted constantly and understood rarely, and that gap is where bad history thrives. We dig into the real human cost behind the Declaration’s pledge of “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” and share standout stories from ...
Jefferson’s Rough Draft
The fastest way to cut through modern noise about the Founding Fathers is to put the original documents back in your hands. We’re celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by talking about a replica of Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten draft of the ...
Patriotism On The Rise - with Dr. Ben Carson
A fighter wins under the lights and quotes John 3:16 to a massive audience. Another walks out after reading the Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office. Moments like that don’t just feel cinematic, they reveal something real about the cu...
Why Fatherhood Still Matters - with Bill Federer
Father’s Day is usually framed as a light holiday, but the real story is heavier and a lot more revealing. We sit down with historian Bill Federer to trace the origins of Father’s Day from a heartbreaking coal mine disaster that left hundreds o...
Lives, Fortunes, And The Culture Shift
The founders weren’t a tidy, unanimous blob of “great men,” and the more you learn about them, the more gripping the real story gets. We kick off Good News Friday with something we’ve been itching to share: our new book, “Lives, Fortune, Sacred...
Civics Before Committee Power
What if we stopped pretending “anyone can lead” means “no one needs to know the basics”? We dig into a listener-driven idea with real constitutional teeth: you cannot add extra requirements to be elected to Congress beyond what the Constitution...
Building on the American Heritage Series - Revival and Reformation
Revival is one of those words that can feel inspiring and vague at the same time, so we decided to get concrete. We talk about what revival actually looks like when you compare Scripture with American history and we challenge the popular idea t...
Flag Day Decoded - with Bill Federer
Flag Day isn’t a modern, made-up observance. It reaches back to a wartime decision on June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress chose a national flag in the middle of the American Revolution. We walk through that origin story, why Fra...
America’s 250th And A Courageous Church - with Craig Seibert
Something is shifting as America heads toward the 250th anniversary, and it is not just more history content online. We feel a real opening for renewal when faith and culture meet in everyday places: churches, city councils, youth groups, famil...
Good News Is Real When Truth Shapes Culture
Decline is not inevitable, and neither is renewal. We bring you a rapid-fire Good News Friday with stories that cut across health, culture, courts, and American history, all through a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective that st...
A Rally For Christian Men - with Josh McPherson

Stronger Men, Stronger Families - with Josh McPherson
A lot of men feel the pull to be strong, but they’re not sure what strength is for or who it’s meant to serve. We talk with Josh McPherson about a definition of biblical manhood that cuts through the noise: strength that dies to comfort, refuse...
Kill The Dragon Win The Girl - with Josh McPherson
“Kill the dragon, win the girl” sounds like a movie line until you hear Pastor Josh McPherson explain what it means for your actual life. We’re joined by the lead pastor of Grace City Church for a story that’s equal parts outdoorsy Washington S...
America’s Founding Formula - with Eric Metaxas
America’s 250th birthday is more than a party date, it’s a stress test for our national memory. We ask a blunt question: what actually made the United States free, stable, and resilient, and why are so many cultural gatekeepers determined to te...
Faith And Culture Wins From Courts To Campuses
Silent prayer led to arrests while real violence against pregnancy centers often seemed to fade into the background. We dig into the latest reversal: the Justice Department firing prosecutors connected to FACE Act cases and dropping remaining a...
Ballot Access And Party Power
A party label feels like a gate, but it’s often just a sticker. We start with a sharp listener question: why not require a Constitution test before someone can run as a Republican or Democrat for Congress? We break down the difference between w...
Restoring Justice - with Jeremy Dys
A thousand-page government report is a lot of paper to ignore, especially when it alleges something most Americans instinctively reject: justice that isn’t blind. We start with a hopeful sign of cultural momentum the hosts saw up close a massiv...
The Unholy Alliance - with Dr. Michael Youssef
A lot of people sense the ground shifting but can’t quite name what’s happening or what to do about it. We sit down with Dr. Michael Youssef to tackle a hard question head-on: how can secular progressivism and Islamist activism work side by sid...
Memorial Day Done Right - with Col. Kevin Bouren
Memorial Day isn’t a slogan, and it isn’t a “happy” holiday. We want it to be a real pause, the kind that remembers names, families, and the price that was paid so the rest of us could live ordinary lives in freedom. That’s why we sit down with...
Supreme Court Liability And Border Fixes That Change Daily Life
A lot of headlines feel like noise until you ask one question: who is actually being held accountable? That’s where we start on Good News Friday. We walk through a US Supreme Court decision that shifts the legal landscape for trucking companies...
