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...
Civics Before Congress
It feels obvious to say lawmakers should know the Constitution before they’re trusted with power, budgets, and national policy. But once we follow that idea all the way down, the real question becomes harder: can we legally require a civics tes...
Frederick Douglass Against Marxism - with KCarl Smith
Marxism doesn’t spread mainly through economics, it spreads through a story: nothing is fixed, everything must be remade, and the only way forward is to pit people into oppressor and oppressed. We push back on that story from a biblical, histor...
A Day Of National Prayer
Thirty thousand people in 90-degree heat, packed onto the National Mall, singing worship songs and praying for America’s future. That’s not a metaphor or a nostalgia reel, it’s what David and Tim Barton witnessed firsthand in Washington, DC, du...
How Church History Fuels Pro-Life Courage Today - with Seth Gruber
A pastor leads his church out of the sanctuary, marches them to a city wall where unwanted infants are left to die, and starts ripping the bricks down with his bare hands. That forgotten story becomes a mirror for modern America and it is one r...
Polls Are Moving And Courts Are Noticing It
The headlines can make it feel like nothing good is happening, then you zoom in and realize the wins are piling up where it counts: elections, courts, policy, and real-world help for families. We walk through fresh midterm signals, including CN...
Article VII And The Declaration Link
If you’ve ever wondered why the Constitution sometimes feels “blank” on the biggest moral questions of the day, we make the case that you’re reading it without its foundation. We start with a listener’s question about Article VII and trace the ...
Can Tolerance Become A Trojan Horse For Tyranny - with Bill Federer
America has had it so good for so long that we can start to assume freedom is automatic. It isn’t. From Wichita, Kansas at a Liberty Pastors event, we talk about why the 250th anniversary should feel less like a victory lap and more like a wake...
Is Honest Money A Moral Issue - with Kevin Freeman
History gets rewritten the same way money gets devalued: slowly, then all at once. From a hallway conversation in Boston to a deep dive on gold and inflation, we follow the thread that connects cultural narratives, civic education, and what fam...
The Man Book Mindset - with Nick Freitas
Masculinity is getting blamed for everything and then repackaged into something ugly, and a lot of young men feel stuck between shame and swagger. We sit down with Nick Freitas, a combat veteran, former legislator, and one of the clearest voice...
What Israel’s Nuclear Secrecy Reveals About Alliance And Deterrence
Demanding that Israel reveal its nuclear defenses in the middle of a regional war sounds like “oversight” until you ask the obvious question: who benefits from making an ally’s deterrence easier to map and target? We walk through why that reque...
How National Prayer Proclamations Shaped American Life
National Day of Prayer can feel like a modern flashpoint, but the deeper story is older and far more bipartisan than most people realize. We walk through the historical evidence that public prayer has been woven into American life from the star...
What Freedom Costs When Government Sets Prices - with Bob McEwen
Gas prices spike and the first instinct is to blame “greedy oil companies,” but that explanation falls apart once you follow the math of a global commodities market. We sit down with former Congressman Bob McEwen to untangle a listener’s questi...
God’s Hand Runs Through America’s History - with Cynthia Scott
America’s 250th anniversary is forcing a blunt question: are we willing to tell the real story of the nation’s founding, or only the version that fits today’s politics? We dig into why we see the “hand of Providence” as more than a slogan, walk...
No Limbs No Limits - with Nick Vujicic
A kid attempts suicide at 10. He grows up with no arms and no legs. Then he spends his life crossing the globe telling people there is still hope. That’s why we brought back our friend Nick Vujicic, and why his new documentary film, No Limbs No...
Military Training Reforms And Culture Wins That Matter
The stories that shape a nation rarely feel dramatic while they’re happening, but the small shifts add up fast. We’re bringing a stack of Good News Friday headlines that hit the real pressure points of American life: how leaders are trained, ho...
