When Institutions Bend, Who Holds The Line
A judge tells Virginia Democrats a referendum is illegal, it goes forward anyway, and then the election gets set aside. That’s where Good News Friday starts: not with hot takes, but with the uncomfortable truth that election integrity depends o...
Faith Meets Founding History
A Great Awakening is getting people into theaters and then into conversations they didn’t expect to have: Who was George Whitefield, why did Benjamin Franklin respect him, and how did spiritual ideas shape early American public life? We talk th...
Texas Textbooks Determine the Direction of the Nation, Part 2 - with Dr. Julie Pickren
One vote can decide whether a generation learns a clear, content-rich story of American history or a vague set of standards that can be stretched to fit almost anything. Rick Green sits down with Julie Pickering from the Texas State Board of Ed...
Texas Textbooks Determine the Direction of the Nation, Part 1 - with Dr. Julie Pickren
A handful of votes in Austin can quietly shape what students read in classrooms across America and most families never hear about it until the books are already printed. We start with a hopeful cultural moment, America Reads the Bible, and talk...
Rebuilding Liberty For America’s 250th
A lot of people are making plans for America’s 250th anniversary and I’m excited for the celebrations. But I don’t want the 250th to be all fireworks and hot dogs with no understanding of the Declaration of Independence, unalienable rights, or ...
What Counts As Good News In Chaotic Times
A principal runs toward the sound of gunfire, tackles a would-be school shooter, and lives. Astronauts wake up near the moon to a Christian song and speak openly about God, prayer, and creation. Then we hit the whiplash of modern life: official...
Reforming Academia From Within
A public university professor writes in with a question a lot of people quietly carry: if American academia feels captured by ideology and hostile to biblical Christianity, is it already too far gone or can it be reformed? We start with the his...
Texas Textbooks, National Impact - with Brandon Hall
Texas doesn’t just teach its own kids, it often sets the direction for what the rest of the country reads. When publishers chase the biggest markets, Texas State Board of Education votes can ripple into national textbooks, classroom materials, ...
Undercover Inside A D.C. Islamist Network - with David Gaubatz
A former federal agent joins us with a claim that still shocks people years later: he assembled a team, trained them to move quietly inside Sharia-driven spaces, and sent them undercover to assess the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR...
Read The Bible Together - with Bunni Pounds
What would it look like for America to hear the Bible out loud again, not as a slogan, but as the actual text from Genesis to Revelation? That question drives our conversation as we get ready for a major national moment in Washington, DC: Ameri...
Europe Reverses Course As America’s Culture Fights Heat Up
Europe is changing course, Hollywood is unexpectedly saying the quiet part out loud, and a few long-running legal fights just took a dramatic turn. We kick off Good News Friday by looking at the European Parliament’s move toward deportations an...
Christ-Centered College Rallies Are Rewriting The Story Of Gen Z
Thousands of college students are showing up in arenas to talk about Jesus and it’s not happening at just one school. We dig into the Unite Us movement and the wave of campus revival stories from places like Pittsburgh, Alabama, Purdue, Ohio St...
What Happens When Voters Lead Again - with Tim Mooney
A two-week ceasefire can sound like progress, but it can also be a trap if it lets a hostile regime regroup. We take a hard look at the Iran headlines and ask the question most coverage skips: what would a real end to the conflict require, and ...
What If Courageous Faith Is Contagious Again
A Holy Week news cycle rarely sounds like this: a US president openly celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ with Scripture, a Passover message points back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and an Artemis astronaut looks at Earth fr...
Counseling And Free Speech - with Kelly Shackelford
Colorado tried to do something chillingly simple: let one side of a heated cultural debate speak freely, then make the other side a punishable offense. We dig into the Supreme Court’s 8–1 decision rejecting that approach, and why it’s bigger th...
Good Friday Good News
Good Friday forces a question most of us try to avoid: if the resurrection is real, what does that change about everything else? We take that question straight into American history, reading the Founding Fathers in their own words and letting t...
Honest Money - with Kevin Freeman
The scariest part of America’s debt problem is how easy it is to ignore until it’s too late. We sit down with Kevin Freeman from Economic War Room as he delivers a rapid-fire briefing on what the numbers actually mean: a debt trajectory that ca...
Faith In The Public Square - with Ray Comfort
A stranger climbs a billboard and changes four words into three, turning “Jesus is not God” into the exact opposite. That headline grabs attention, but what we really want to know is what comes next: is bold public action wise, does it help the...
Making Laws Count - with Jaco Booyens
Human trafficking doesn’t lose because we lack talking points. It wins when cases never get prosecuted as trafficking, when judges don’t know what to do with the complexity, and when our systems quietly allow predators to slip through. That’s w...
Restoring A Republic - With David Bullard
A state ballot measure can feel like the purest form of “power to the people” until you see how easily the process can be engineered by professionals with money, messaging, and a motive. We sit down with Oklahoma Senator David Bullard as he lay...
Faith And Culture Wins From Statues To Sports
They ripped down a Columbus statue, smashed it into pieces, and dumped it into Baltimore Harbor. Years later, a crew goes underwater, hauls it back up, and a brand-new replacement statue ends up installed at the White House. We unpack why that ...
What Nature Teaches About Rights And Responsibility
TSA delays, shutdown threats, and airport security drama raise a bigger question than most headlines admit: who should be responsible for keeping travelers safe, and what does the Constitution actually allow? We dig into the growing push to pri...
Election Day Means Election Day
Election rules don’t just decide winners, they decide whether people believe the system is honest. We start with the Supreme Court weighing whether states can keep counting mail-in ballots days after Election Day, and why the drift from “electi...
Why Conservatives Must Vet Candidates Before They Rise - With Heidi St John
A decorated past, a tragic story, a viral interview, and suddenly millions of people are treating a politician’s new talking points as truth. That’s a recipe for getting played, and we’ve seen it happen before. Heidi St. John joins us to unpack...
Iran And Israel Update - with Jonathan Feldstein
The headlines move fast, but the hard question stays the same: what does “success” actually look like when Iran is at the center of a regional firestorm and Israel is fighting for its future. We talk through why Americans feel whiplash right no...
