Bold and Blunt

All Christians struggle to walk that fine line between being bold, but staying humble — but for Christian women, the struggle is perhaps even more difficult. Why? Women are often told and taught that it's their biblical role to walk in quiet obedience to their husbands, to their church leaders, to those they are serving — yet this is not how Jesus saw women. And it's a shame when women who have talents and gifts galore are shamed into silence based on faulty Bible teachings. Maybe that's why young women are leaving the church nowadays. Misty Phillip has a new book, "Spark Your Influence," that teaches women specifically how to be submissive yet bold — just as Jesus was.

Marxism has really snuck into America's churches, and that's a problem for several reasons — mostly because it leads congregations down a path of false teaching. Marxist teachings come from Satan, not God. If America's faith communities are filled with those who think Jesus would be a socialist or communist or Marxist if he were walking the earth today, then this country is on a crash course for destruction. America is only as strong as its churches. Chad Connelly, founder of Faith Wins, discusses the problems with today's churches, as well as the Donald Trump administration's open embrace of Christianity.

President Donald Trump has gone increasingly public with his faith, even mentioning the left's dreaded J-word — Jesus — for all the world to hear. This is good for all of America because when there's a White House that recognizes and respects the Christian founding of the country, the concept of God-given rights and liberties shines brightly. But it's not just in the political circles that Christianity is coming alive. The culture — the world of entertainment — is striking back at the darkness and evil that's crept into movies, into games, into videos over the years. Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media, talks about the more godly times we're seeing in America.

The latest Pew Research Center survey numbers of this White House's favor with the people are in and no surprise, Republicans by and large are loving President Donald Trump, while Democrats are not. Democrats are in lockstep on their hatred for Trump's policies. But America is back on track for a new age of golden politicking, including in foreign affairs. Shea Bradley Farrell, president of Counterpoint Institute, speaks from Hungary about the regard for Trump she's experiencing on the streets in Europe.

Christians, are you tired of your money being used to advance causes that completely conflict with biblical teachings and truths? Are you concerned your banking decisions and financial investments will ultimately help fund abortion, far-left interests and outright evil activities? Nick Vujicic of NickV Ministries talks about his newest venture, ProLifeFinTech, a financial technology company that actually provides pro-life banking solutions to Christians and those of faith.

It's Holy Week, one of Christianity's most reflective of seasons, and no time like the leadup to Easter to talk all-things-pope. Pope Francis has waded into politics in ways that have outraged many in America, particularly on border control, capitalism and climate change. So what's a good Catholic to do? As author, singer, podcaster, journalist Raymond Arroyo of Fox News and EWTN fame: This is a time of great optimism for the church, for the faith, and for believers.

Mark Zuckerberg is in court right now, fighting an antitrust suit brought by the FTC against his Meta for a previous purchase of WhatsApp and Instagram. But this is a weak lawsuit. And sad to say, for conservatives who've been desiring a take-down of Zuckerberg for his brash and anti-American stifling of free speech on his social media platforms — this isn't a case that should be cheered. Why? Principle matters. Principle, not politics, matters when it comes to rule of law, the Constitution and the long-term future of American freedoms. Robert Bork Jr. discusses.

Today's youth are facing a crisis of confidence that comes from years of being pat on the head and told that the true purpose of life is to find happiness for happiness' sake — character, hard work, goal-setting, achievement and living God's will be danged. Blame it on the participation trophy types. They were the ones who told kids self-esteem has nothing to do with achieving based on work and creativity and drive. Now America's younger generations are floundering a bit in the work force, expecting things they haven't earned and feeling like failures — and quitting — when they don't get what they expect. Successful businessman and "Solid Ground" author Tom Lewis tells how to get youth back on the track of godly and productive living, and in turn, all of America.

Members of the press by and large lean left — that's the truth; polls and surveys over the years have shown most journalists vote Democrat, even the ones who claim to be independent. This is a problem because it means the American people can't trust the reporters to report honestly on the political landscape. Just ask President Donald Trump — Russia collusion, pee tapes and more Russia collusion! And what about Hunter Biden? Roger Ream, president of The Fund for American Studies, discusses the state of today's media landscape and how it can be better balanced.

It's time for America to take back its education system and teach the coming generations in the proper way to go — meaning, let's leave the Marxism at home. American Exceptionalism relies on the idea that individual freedoms and rights come from a Creator; that each and every individual is born with God-given rights and liberties. And it also relies on the idea that America has done great good in the world. But today's schools are teaching the opposite — that there is no God, that government is the provider of all and that America is the root of all that's gone wrong in the world. Colorado Christian University's president, Eric Hogue, talks about how to save education, save the minds of America's youth and ultimately, save America.
