In his first Inaugural Address, President Ronald Reagan reminded the country that "Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction." In today's episode of The Narrative podcast, Congressman Jim Jordan stepped out of a Congressional Committee hearing for a quick discussion with Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) President Aaron Baer and Policy Director David Mahan about how federal agencies have been turned against the people they were created to serve and what Congress is doing to hold the executive branch accountable by investigating political lawfare used by agencies like the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Before the conversation, Aaron and David look at how sports betting has negatively impacted culture and poisoned the way that many of Ohio's youth interact with sports. They also review the need for Christians to stand firmly on the truth of Scripture during Pride Month and not to get caught up in the cultural moment.
