The Wild One is a 1953 movie starring Marlon Brando as Johnny Strabler, a troubled, brooding leader of a motorcycle gang. In one scene, a young woman notices a gang member’s jacket with the initials, B.R.M.C. When she learns that the “R” stands for rebels, she laughs and touches the arm of Brando as he idly pats a drum. “Hey, Johnny. What are you rebelling against?” He replies, “What do you got?”

What an apt description of our problem! We’re born with a drive to assert ourselves. We want to be in charge, preferably by getting our way. If that doesn’t work, we’ll assert ourselves by dragging our feet. The rebellion is the point.

Why did Israel foolishly worship idols of “stone and wood” (Jeremiah 3:9)? And why did Israel’s “unfaithful sister Judah” only pretend to return to God (v. 10)? Because that’s how they expressed their independence—“the stubbornness of their evil hearts” (v. 17). The rebellion was the point.

But God’s love is stronger. Jesus died for rebels and leaves the door open for their return. “‘Return, faithless Israel,’ declares the Lord, ‘I will frown on you no longer, for I am faithful . . . . Only acknowledge your guilt—you have rebelled against the Lord your God’” (vv. 12-13).

We may be born rebels, but we can return. Let’s run home to our Father, where we find His forgiveness, love, and help.

This week's Artist Spotlight on Gospel Radio Favorites shines on Ronald "Captain" Smead. A seasoned voice in Gospel music, Ronald is making his radio debut with the inspiring single "Jesus Says I Can." Early listener and station feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, affirming the song's timely and powerful message.

In a world that often whispers "you can't" amid challenges, doubts, and limitations, this heartfelt track delivers a profound, scriptural truth: Jesus says you can. It is a stirring reminder of God's empowering promise—that He equips, strengthens, and uses us for His glory, no matter our past, our struggles, or the obstacles before us. Through uplifting melodies and unwavering faith, Ronald invites listeners to embrace the confidence that comes from Christ alone.Join us as we celebrate this encouraging anthem that lifts the spirit and points hearts back to the One who makes all things possible.

What if the way we define marriage is quietly reshaping childhood—for worse? We open the conversation with a child-first lens and ask the question most debates avoid: does public policy exist to validate adult desires, or to protect a child’s right to both mother and father? Katie Faust, founder of Them Before Us, joins us to explain how the 2015 redefinition of marriage flattened biological reality and turned parenthood into a credential adults acquire, often without the adoption safeguards designed to protect kids. From IVF mandates to loosened parentage rules, she traces how systems now subsidize motherless or fatherless homes by design, measuring success by adult fulfillment rather than child well-being.

We dig into the data and the vibe shift. Approval among conservatives has dropped as people connect the dots: if sex differences matter on the field and in the clinic, they matter even more at home. Pastors are finding their voice, too—teaching clearly that marriage is a child-serving institution rooted in the complementary gifts of men and women. Katie charts a three-part plan: reframe the public conversation around children’s rights, mobilize the church into a child-centered force, and pursue a legal strategy that changes the court’s question from “Do adults have dignity?”—yes—to “Do children need their own mother and father?” That pivot anchors policy in biology, safeguards adoption as child protection, and resists pathways that bypass rigorous screening.

Together we spotlight a growing coalition of scholars, faith leaders, and policy groups aligned on one message: don’t touch the kids. We share practical ways to get involved, equip your church, and speak with clarity at home, online, and in your community. If you’re ready to move beyond slogans and defend the smallest stakeholders with facts, conviction, and compassion, this is your roadmap.
