Politics gets messy when your values and your ballot don’t line up. We dive straight into Virginia’s statewide races to unpack a real voter’s dilemma: a controversial AG candidate whose private texts ignited a public storm, a lieutenant governor race clouded by identity-over-policy branding, and a base deciding whether to split tickets, write in, or hold their nose. Along the way, we tackle the questions that keep serious voters up at night: When does conscience say “no,” and when does prudence say “lesser evil”? How much power does each office actually wield, and how should that change your vote?

We also zoom out to the system that produces these choices. If a party keeps offering candidates misaligned with its own voters, the answer isn’t apathy—it’s leadership. We share a practical blueprint for taking back party machinery at the precinct level, recruiting early, and building a bench so the next four-year cycle looks different. Because ballots are cast in November, but candidates are built in March meetings, county committees, and quiet planning rooms where rules and platforms are forged.

For a needed dose of good news, we spotlight a brand’s swift course correction: Cracker Barrel tried to abandon its core identity, faced a backlash, and reversed. It’s a reminder that institutions—business or political—survive by listening, not lecturing. We close by framing border security statistics that claim historic reductions, modeling how to interrogate outcomes without falling for easy headlines. If you care about faith-informed citizenship, electoral strategy, and practical steps that actually change results, this conversation gives you tools and the courage to use them.

Ever wondered whether America’s promise of religious liberty was designed to be wide open—or tethered to a shared moral code? We tackle a pointed listener question about the founders’ intent and explore why the early American consensus protected the rights of conscience while expecting public behavior to align with Judeo-Christian ethics. That balance—pluralism with guardrails—helped secure inalienable rights under a common rule of law without policing private theology.

We dig into John Adams’s claim that the “general principles of Christianity” united the generation of independence, then look at early state constitutions and their broad theistic oaths for office. The thread is accountability: leaders and citizens who believe they’ll answer to God tend to tell the truth, keep their word, and respect others’ rights. From there, we draw lines around pluralism: a neighbor’s faith is welcome, but practices that infringe on life, liberty, or equal justice are not. It’s the Declaration’s architecture in action—rights from God, government to secure them, law to restrain harm.

Then we pivot to the present with the high-stakes governor’s race in Virginia to show how worldview drives policy—and why short bursts of mobilization aren’t enough. If you’re tired of the one-step-forward, two-steps-back cycle, this conversation lays out a practical playbook: recruit strong candidates early, train year-round teams, shore up election processes, and cultivate civic discipleship that restores moral clarity on issues culture calls “political.” Small, steady work between election days is how communities build durable freedom.

If you’ve ever looked at a general election ballot and wondered, “Why are these my only choices?” this conversation is a map back to the moment where better options are made. We’re on the road ahead of early primaries, working with pastors, meeting potential candidates, and pushing past the noise so voters can actually hear the truth before the smear machine defines it for them.

We dig into why the recruiting phase matters so much, how big money and early ads try to frame candidates long before most people are paying attention, and what kind of backbone it takes to run and serve in today’s polarized climate. Then we tackle the big claim that “we shouldn’t legislate morality” and flip it on its head: every law already reflects someone’s moral code. The real question is whose values will guide issues like life, courts, public safety, and education—and why Christians shouldn’t be the only people told to leave their convictions at the door. Along the way, we draw from history—Washington, Lincoln, Eisenhower—to show how faith can inform freedom without flirting with theocracy.

We also unpack a timely Supreme Court case out of Colorado that touches counseling, speech, and viewpoint discrimination. Should the state be able to punish a Christian counselor for offering a biologically grounded or faith-based perspective that a client seeks? The legal winds aren’t as predictable as headlines suggest, and court dynamics can shift late in the game—remember the Obamacare ruling pivot. Finally, we zoom back out to crime and constitutional authority, asking whether leaders care more about outcomes than optics when cities reject help that measurably reduces violence.

A handful of votes can flip a legislature, and a handful of courageous pastors can flip the script. We’re fresh off a Northeast swing—Maine, New Hampshire, and beyond—where young pastors are packing rooms, voter ID is on the ballot, and churches are waking up to how close margins really are. One state rep told us Maine missed a legislative majority by just 200 votes. Opponents of voter ID admitted they could lose 13,000 “reliable” votes if it passes. Those numbers aren’t abstract; they’re a roadmap for how a dormant church vote can change outcomes.

We share the heart behind the math, too. A nephew who once wore 666 on his forehead bought a Bible, found a church in Waco through a multi-state pastor text thread, and gave his life to Christ. That story captures a larger shift we’re seeing since Charlie Kirk’s assassination: grief turning into courage, and curiosity turning into commitment. It’s why we’re pushing for discipleship over slogans—pastors teaching whole-life faith that speaks to family, work, justice, and civic stewardship. When people are formed, they show up. When they show up, districts move. And when districts move, statewide races follow.

Virginia offers the blueprint. Last time, turnout in about ten delegate districts helped carry the governor’s race. The same targeted approach is back—focused on a handful of House districts where church engagement can block bad policy and lift strong candidates. Michigan is in play, too, despite a long drought for Republicans in the Senate. We’re seeing hunger for clarity, practical training, and lawful election integrity efforts that rebuild trust. Our tour continues through Ohio and Michigan with a seed-planting mindset for 2026 and 2028—because habits made in the off-years win the on-years.

If you care about voter ID, fair play in women’s sports, and the difference between a short-lived revival and a culture-shaping great awakening, this conversation lays out the plan and the why behind it.

A nation expected a funeral and walked into a revival. From the first songs before sunrise to the final benediction, we witnessed worship that felt disarmingly honest, political leaders speaking the name of Jesus without hedging, and thousands responding to a clear gospel. Andrew Wommack joins us to unpack what happened in that room—and why so many people, including skeptics, sensed something they couldn’t easily explain.

We talk candidly about courage rising in unexpected places. JD Vance described shedding his reluctance to speak openly about faith. Worship leaders like Brandon Lake, Kari Jobe, Phil Wickham, Cody Carnes, and Chris Tomlin showed up when it would have been safer to stay home. And then came the moment that stunned the arena: Erica Kirk forgiving her husband’s killer, live and unguarded. That act of mercy didn’t erase grief; it transfigured it. The ripple was immediate—public figures and everyday people confessing old grudges and finally letting them go.

Andrew offers a wide-angle view: prophetic markers that a Great Awakening began years ago, why spiritual renewal usually meets fierce resistance, and how discipleship—not hype—turns a surge of faith into lasting cultural change. We explore the difference between performative religion and practiced obedience, and we point to concrete ways to grow deeper roots: biblical formation, constitutional literacy, and vocational courage that shows up in city halls, classrooms, studios, and neighborhoods.

If you’ve felt a shift in the air but weren’t sure what to call it, this conversation names the moment and maps the next steps. Share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway—we want to hear how you’re stepping forward.

Mercy can move a mountain. We unpack how a single act of public forgiveness—offered to a killer on a global livestream—ignited a wave of healing and curiosity that’s drawing young people back to church, rekindling faith in unexpected places, and reminding all of us that grace is stronger than grievance. Along the way, we share Tim Allen’s surprisingly tender turn toward Scripture after decades of unresolved grief and talk about why forgiving doesn’t erase the past—it unchains the heart to face the future.

That surge of interest isn’t an illusion. Pastors are reporting a rise in attendance, especially among young men who are asking the big questions: What is my purpose? How do I build a life that lasts? We lean into practical guidance—marriage, children, legacy, and a pursuit of the eternal—that grounds zeal in wisdom and turns moments into movements. It’s a quiet revolution powered by meaning, not marketing.

The conversation widens to the hard reality of global Christian persecution. We walk through the numbers most Americans never see, spotlight rescue work that relocates vulnerable believers, and describe on-the-ground operations that dismantle trafficking and organ harvesting. We also highlight a rare moment of transparency at the UN, where New Zealand released its cabinet papers to defend a controversial stance—inviting citizens to weigh evidence, not slogans.

What if “ruler over ten cities” isn’t a cautionary tale but a reward for faithfulness? We open the door between faith and public life and keep it open, laying out a biblical and historical case that Christians not only can participate in government—they’re needed there. From Hebrews 11 to Romans 13 and the parable in Luke 19, we trace a throughline: God cares about how communities are led, and Scripture applies to every sphere, including policy.

We get practical fast. We share where to find reliable voter information (pro-family voter guides, state resources, Library of Congress records) and why the right to life serves as a powerful predictor of a candidate’s full philosophy. Decades of data reveal a pattern: when believers vote—and vote their values—freshman classes in Congress tilt toward protecting life, religious liberty, family, self-defense, and property rights, with measurable downstream effects. We unpack exit polls, turnout trends from 1992 to 2010, and the legislative results that followed: the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, the partial-birth abortion ban, and more.

We also tackle the myth of the “insignificant vote.” A lost race by 20 ballots and a win by 36 prove how thin the margins can be. More importantly, apathy scales; so does conviction. When Christians show up but leave their values at the door, the laws mirror that vacuum. When they bring those convictions, reforms follow, and the culture steadies. Our message is simple and urgent: register, research, and vote with first principles in mind—life first, then liberty and property. Righteousness, not raw economics, exalts a nation, and leaders who honor the first right tend to steward the rest.

Culture rarely changes overnight, and that’s exactly why we talk about revival as a process—local, practical, and measured in decades. We share how old American sermons connected scripture to real life, from business ethics to criminal justice, and why adopting a kingdom mindset moves faith beyond the pews into our neighborhoods, schools, and city halls. Along the way, we explore the surprising data on younger Americans and life, and why mentorship might be the most underrated lever for long-term change.

You’ll hear vivid stories of transgenerational influence: Samuel Cooper investing in a young John Quincy Adams; Gilbert Tennent shaping Benjamin Rush; Samuel Davies forming Patrick Henry’s voice; and Adams, in turn, inspiring a young legislator named Abraham Lincoln to persevere against slavery. These aren’t just history lessons—they’re blueprints. Pick one person. Pour in. Let wisdom travel farther than you will.

We also get honest about the cost. George Whitefield’s horseback circuits, opposition from within the church, and preaching that literally spent his life remind us that real renewal requires grit. The takeaway is simple and demanding: act locally, disciple deeply, think in decades, invest across generations, and work hard because it’s right. If we run to the roar with truth and grace, we can be the salt and light that push back decay and darkness, one faithful step at a time.
