If you love real country music, this episode was made for you.

David Lewis grew up in Bellville, Texas, where country roots run deep. He started performing in the church worship band, worked his way through the opry circuit across Texas, and by the time he was a senior in high school he had already written and co-produced his debut album Country Music Therapy. Since then, he's shared stages with country legends Mark Chesnutt, Diamond Rio, and Johnny Lee, and he just dropped his new album, Barstool Sermons.

On Episode 63, David sits down with Judge and JD to talk about his full musical journey, from those early days singing in church to building a career keeping traditional country music alive, and then he picks up the guitar and performs live right there in the studio.High energy guitar picking. Classic vocal sounds.

The real thing.Go listen to Barstool Sermons everywhere music is streamed, and follow David so you don't miss what's coming next.

You can feel it in the air right now: a lot of people are exhausted, cynical, and tempted to believe nothing good is happening. We refuse to live there. This Good News Friday brings stories that are concrete, surprising, and worth sharing, especially with the friend who’s been hit with the “America is the bad guy” narrative and can’t see past the headlines.

We start with a remarkable update from one of the last places you’d expect: Iran. There’s credible reporting on a rapidly growing underground Christian church, and we point you to specific resources on the Back to Jerusalem movement and the strategy of Chinese believers entering closed nations as workers on major projects. If you’ve been looking for real leads instead of vague optimism, we name books, documentaries, and places to begin reading.

Then we turn to the United States, where a Gallup poll shows many Americans still believe a more religious society would be a positive thing, even as the numbers shift over time and across political groups. We talk honestly about why government policy shapes moral values, why that matters for culture, and how these trends connect to the choices we make in public life.

We also cover major legal and political developments: a Texas judge finally resolves a long fight tied to conscience and religious liberty, leaders push back on International Criminal Court overreach and threats to U.S. sovereignty, and we highlight a practical proposal to fast-track commercial driver’s licenses for military veterans. If you care about faith and culture, constitutional boundaries, and hopeful news you can act on, you’ll want to hear this one.

Today's Bible verse: 2 Timothy 1:8

hi GGB:)

Guyssssss our sweet Maddie Crawford is our special guest today. 

Maddie opens up about how church hurt led her away from God and into years of partying, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, and trying to fill a void that nothing could satisfy. After praying for direction, she moved to Los Angeles, attended a Bible study, encountered genuine Christian community, and began a life-changing relationship with Jesus. 

She also opens up about dating and marrying Bryce, learning to put God above her relationship, navigating public judgment, comparison, modesty, submission, and the pressure to perform Christianity online. Her message to anyone feeling caught between faith and the world is that shame is not from God, following the crowd will not fulfill you, and Jesus is worth choosing.

this is such a good episode 

we love you so much. Jesus loves you more.

-Ang & Ari
