Allen Jackson Now

President Trump went before the United Nations with a blunt message saying that allowing dangerous threats to grow doesn't make the world safer. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Cliff May, Founder of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, to examine Trump's defense of military action against Iran, his emphasis on American sovereignty, and the international criticism directed toward Israel. This happened while other leaders used the same U.N. gathering to condemn Israeli policy in Gaza and the West Bank. Pastor Allen says we are living in fierce times. Pay attention, seek truth, and have the courage to make choices shaped by a biblical worldview.

President Trump is confronting some of America's most powerful news organizations, while Democrats are wrestling with the question of who will define the future direction of their party? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Washington Examiner Executive Editor Bob Cusack to examine two consequential political battles taking shape in Washington and across the country. President Trump barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from White House grounds after accusing the outlets of repeatedly reporting what he calls “fake news.” But while Trump battles the national media, Kamala Harris is back on the campaign trail, standing beside Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. This raises more questions about the direction of the Democratic Party. Pastor Allen says there is a deeper issue underneath the politics and media battles. Christians cannot afford to simply look away when the culture becomes confusing or uncomfortable. Watch. Listen. Think. Act. Have the courage to let your biblical worldview have a voice in the public square.

Most people run from war. David Eubank has spent decades running toward it. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes David Eubank, founder of Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian movement whose teams enter some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones to rescue the wounded and care for the displaced. From Ukraine to Burma, Sudan, Syria, and Iraq, Eubank has witnessed the human cost of war up close. But the Free Burma Rangers' mission isn't simply humanitarian. It's rooted in their Christian faith and a conviction to follow Jesus by loving and serving people in desperate circumstances. You may never be called into a war zone, but every Christian has a place where courage and obedience are required.

Truth doesn't become false because it's unpopular. In this special episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Frank Turek, author of “The War On Reality,” for a conversation on the Clancy mistrial and the battle over truth shaping modern culture. From gender and family to socialism, illegal immigration, and the justice system, Pastor Allen and Frank examine what happens when different worldviews collide over questions of reality. Pastor Allen says these debates point toward something larger. We are living through waves of cultural confusion, and many issues dismissed as merely “political” actually reflect deeper questions. If we, as Christ-followers, want to see transformation in our culture, then silence isn't the answer.

The questions Charlie Kirk was asking Christians before his death remain remarkably relevant. In this special episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson remembers Charlie one year after his death by sharing a conversation they had not long before. Charlie was someone willing to walk onto college campuses, listen to opposing arguments, and openly explain the worldview that shaped his own beliefs. Charlie spent much of his life entering difficult conversations. Now another generation has to decide whether it will have the courage to do the same. Will we retreat, or will we have the courage to live our faith in the places God has given us influence? The opportunity to live courageously is available to each one of us.

In this special episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen revisits a conversation he shared with Charlie Kirk not long before Charlie was killed at Utah Valley University. They talk about Scripture, angels, spiritual warfare, America, and what it means to remain faithful when telling the truth comes with a cost. Pastor Allen challenges us to consider what comes next. Faith doesn't belong only inside our churches and homes. It belongs in our workplaces, schools, hospitals, courtrooms, and communities. We don't have to be violent or belligerent, but we cannot allow fear to drive us into silence.

America isn’t simply debating policy anymore. Increasingly, the debate is over fundamental questions about the values that should shape our culture. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow to examine controversial ideas emerging in two closely watched 2026 Senate races. Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico has said that parents refusing to acknowledge a child’s gender identity could be considered “abusive,” and Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed remarked “hurt people hurt people,” following the attack on Temple Israel near Detroit. Pastor Allen believes these controversies reveal something deeper than politics. It’s a collision of worldviews. We have an assignment to understand the world through a biblical worldview and then have the courage to live out that worldview publicly.

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.
