In this episode of Defining Truth, we unpack two major stories shaking the nation:

President Trump’s new push to ban mail-in ballots ahead of 2024—what it means, who it affects, and why the Left is fighting so hard to keep them.

California’s controversial AB495—a bill that threatens parental rights under the guise of protecting minors, and why Republicans and human trafficking experts are raising red flags.

We go beyond the headlines to expose how radical leftist ideologies—including Marxism and anti-theism—have long sought to erode the parent-child bond in order to empower the state. Drawing from both biblical wisdom and American founding principles, we make the case for why Christians—and even non-believers—must stand for family, truth, and limited government.

🔹 Featuring historical insight on Alexandra Kollontai and socialist efforts to replace the family with the state.

🔹 Biblical foundations for parental authority and human dignity.

🔹 Why defending America’s Christian-Judaic roots is essential to preserving freedom—for everyone.

🕊️ A Christian worldview. A bold conservative voice. This is Defining Truth.

What happened, what’s verified, and how we respond. On Sept 10, 2025, Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a campus event at Utah Valley University. On Sept 12, police announced the arrest of a 22-year-old suspect; the investigation is ongoing and motive is still being established. We break down the timeline, confront the climate of political violence, and walk through biblical clarity on speaking truth in love—without hate and without fear.

In this powerful episode of Defining Truth, we break down the recent tragic shooting at a Catholic school by a trans-identified individual—and expose the deeper cultural and ideological forces at work.

We explore the rising violence within the trans community, the mental health crisis being manufactured and weaponized by the left, and how progressive ideology creates chaos only to blame Christians and conservatives when tragedy strikes.

You’ll hear a biblical worldview on:

The targeting of churches and Christians in America

How identity confusion is being affirmed instead of addressed

The moral collapse stemming from decades of relativism

The left’s effort to exploit tragedy to push anti-American control agendas

Why blaming guns instead of evil hearts is both foolish and dangerous

This is not just news. This is truth—unfiltered, unapologetic, and grounded in Scripture.
