Israel is facing a new round of international pressure, but this time it's coming from some of its longtime Western partners. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, to examine new measures announced by Britain, France, and Canada targeting trade with Israeli settlements in the areas biblically known as Judea and Samaria. Israel and America have pushed back, reopening fundamental questions about the validity of a proposed two-state solution. Pastor Allen challenges the assumption that instability across the region can be solved by requiring Israel to relinquish additional territory. Israel's existence demonstrates God's faithfulness, and we should understand the biblical covenant connecting the Jewish people to the land. Let’s pray for the peace of Jerusalem and have the courage to stand publicly for the Jewish people.

Remembering the lessons of the past should affect the way we live in the present. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes former Reagan White House official, Jeffrey Lord, to examine how dramatically the political conversation has changed over the past quarter-century since 9/11, including the growing influence of socialist candidates who downplay the evils of terrorism. Pastor Allen reminds us that we cannot respond to a wayward culture by retreating into our homes and church sanctuaries. Citizenship and public expressions of our Christian faith are responsibilities we should take seriously.

Fraud isn't government waste on a spreadsheet. It's real money taken from taxpayers. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Eric Eggers, Vice President of the Government Accountability Institute, to examine the government's growing anti-fraud campaign. They discuss healthcare fraud, Medicare and Medicaid, and the extraordinary amounts of taxpayer money potentially involved. Pastor Allen asks why taxpayers so rarely hear genuine accountability when enormous amounts of public money are mishandled. He's watching for real repentance from elected officials. Repentance requires more than a press conference or a promise to do better. It means a change of mind, followed by a change of behavior.

America just added 162,000 jobs in one month, far more than economists expected. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Georgia Congressman Buddy Carter for a wide-ranging conversation about the economy, energy, and the final stretch before the midterm elections. They examine the rising labor-force participation and gains in manufacturing employment. Pastor Allen says America's future cannot be reduced to economic statistics or political outcomes. There's never been another nation quite like the American experiment in self-government. Maintaining it requires engaged citizens, strong families, and a Church willing to carry biblical truth beyond its own walls.

Who speaks for children when they cannot speak for themselves? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Ashley Hayek, the Executive Vice President of the America First Policy Institute, for a conversation about parents, education, and the battle over America's next generation. The discussion extends beyond education to medical interventions involving minors, abortion, and the Lindsay Clancy case—different stories that all require Americans to seriously consider how our culture values and protects children. Pastor Allen challenges Christians to recover their confidence and bring their faith into conversations that extend far beyond church walls. Political and societal outcomes are shaped by deeper moral convictions, and we have a responsibility to participate with courage and truth.

How did ideas that would have seemed unthinkable only a generation ago become mainstream arguments in American culture? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Sage Steele, a former ESPN anchor and host of The Sage Steele Show, to examine several cultural battles exposing America's increasingly divided understanding of truth. They discuss the WNBA and the debate over biological males competing against female athletes. They also revisit the COVID era and inconsistencies recently revealed from Anthony Fauci's private diary that have renewed questions about the intense pressure many Americans faced from government institutions, corporations, employers, and the media. Pastor Allen says these controversies and inconsistencies reflect something deeper than politics. They reveal a nation moving further away from a biblical worldview while Christians are too often keeping their convictions safely within church walls. That needs to change.

For decades we've been told that what starts in California eventually spreads across America. That makes what's happening there everybody's business. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Congressman James Gallagher of California to examine massive fraud and improper government payments in California, the state's response to independent journalists investigating taxpayer-funded organizations, and concerns surrounding the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” Why weren't government prosecutors uncovering the fraud problems? Pastor Allen says we should stop accepting government waste, abuse and incompetence as inevitable. But we shouldn't respond by hoping California collapses. We should instead pray for a profound spiritual transformation in California, that could ripple outward across the entire nation.

Anthony Fauci received a sweeping presidential pardon covering his federal service. So why would he still invoke the Fifth Amendment when Congress wants answers? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes former federal prosecutor John Malcolm to examine the continuing congressional effort to obtain answers from Anthony Fauci. They discuss Fauci's invocation of the Fifth Amendment, President Biden's preemptive pardon, and the legal questions surrounding what Congress can do next. Pastor Allen also challenges the assumption that science requires absolute certainty. Genuine scientific inquiry allows questions, scrutiny, and even the admission, “I don't know.” When public policy affects millions of lives, transparency and accountability matter. But accountability cannot stop in Washington. Christians who demand truth from their leaders must also have the courage to speak the truth they have been entrusted with.

Christians were repeatedly told that “separation of church and state” meant faith should stay out of politics. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes retired Green Beret and former Virginia legislator Nick Freitas to discuss government and the role Christians should play in civic life. They examine the First Amendment and what happens when Christians surrender education, politics, and culture to people with fundamentally different worldviews. Pastor Allen says this isn't a season for condemnation. It's a season for courage. We can no longer huddle inside churches, hold polite Bible studies, and assume the surrounding culture will remain grounded in biblical values. We must be willing to bring our faith into the world around us.

“Sharia is already here.” When a Muslim leader at a Texas mosque makes a statement like that, we better pay attention. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Texas Congressman Keith Self, founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, to examine concerns surrounding Islamist political influence in the United States. They discuss campaign support surrounding Democratic candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed and questions about how Islamist political activism overlaps with America's increasingly influential socialist movement. Pastor Allen says competing worldviews are colliding in the public square, and Christians cannot respond by becoming silent about our Savior. Anything diminishing the uniqueness of Jesus is a false gospel. This is a moment for courage and truth, rather than fear.
