Fight Laugh Feast USA

Is America’s moral decline primarily the result of an unfaithful church—or are Christians wrongly blaming the bride of Christ for the rebellion of an unbelieving culture?

In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman sits down with Gabriel “The Waterboy” Rench of the FLF Network for an informal but direct debate over the church, the culture, national repentance, Christian responsibility, and the reign of Christ over every area of life. They discuss America’s Christian heritage, the role of the family, church, and civil government, whether the church has failed in its prophetic responsibility, and how Christians should think about cultural collapse without losing confidence in the victorious kingdom of Christ. This is a debate Christians need to have.

Topics include:

Church and culture

America’s moral decline

Christian nationalism

National repentance

The role of the civil magistrate

The responsibility of the church

The reign of Christ

Postmillennial hope

Family, church, and state

The future of Christian America

Featuring: Alex Kocman and Gabriel Rench

Fatherhood is one of the greatest callings with some of the greatest responsibilities. Host Casey Harper is joined by Family Research Council’s Harold Harper and Jared Bridges to share how becoming fathers transformed their lives. They discuss raising children in the truth of the Gospel, nurturing their God-given gifts, and helping them discern God’s will in everyday decisions. They also discuss the impact of having spiritual mentors and father figures who can guide, encourage, and help you become a more Christlike father.

This will be my final 5 minutes. One last round of 300 seconds about business. Let me make the case one final time. Business is really good.

This week’s episode of the Prison Pulpit once again gives us the opportunity to talk about Wang Yi’s Early Rain Church in Sichuan, China. The church was forcibly closed down in December of 2018, which is when Wang Yi went to Prison. The remaining congregation has continued to be harassed all these years.

Who is the mysterious "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2? In this episode, pastor Stephen Baker examines one of the most debated passages in all of eschatology. While many Christians view this text as a prediction of a future Antichrist, this study explores whether Paul was instead describing first-century events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. By examining the apostasy, the temple, the restrainer, and the historical setting of Nero Caesar, we consider how Paul's warning would have been understood by its original audience and what it teaches us about judgment, rebellion, and the last days. Was Paul predicting our future—or explaining their future?

Has Trump finally come to a deal with Iran to end the war? In this episode of The Sentinel Report, Alex Newman analyzes what we know so far.

Finally, journalist and Liberty Sentinel COO Andrew Muller joins Newman to break down Florida’s hot governor race and reviews the show’s interviews with the top candidates.

CrossPolitic 1v1 — Show Notes: Andrew Capshew, CEO of Red Balloon

On this episode of CrossPolitic 101, the Waterboy sits down with Andrew Capshew, CEO of Red Balloon, to talk about what happens when merit replaces DEI in hiring — inside corporations, inside the military, and now inside the U.S. Department of State. Andrew breaks down Red Balloon's acquisition of MilitaryHire.com, their new contract as the official recruiting arm for Foreign Service Officers, and why getting 500 to 1,000 cleared patriots into the State Department could have a generational impact on America and the world. Plus: why you should consider taking the Foreign Service Officer Test — and how classical education might be exactly the preparation you need.
