In this episode, I sit down once again with Tiffany Boyd, founder of Free YOUR Children, for an urgent and eye-opening conversation every parent needs to hear. We talk about why our rights as parents do not come from the Constitution but from God — and why that distinction matters.

Tiffany breaks down what’s happening in real time with truancy legislation and education policy, including troubling bills in Tennessee and Missouri, and explains why what happens in one state quickly affects families nationwide. We discuss the influence of lobbyists in state capitols, the dangers of incremental “watered-down” legislation, and why parents must stay alert to what their legislators are actually doing.

This episode is about parental authority, accountability, and action. Tiffany challenges parents to stop relying on others to fight for their families, to seek wisdom as Scripture instructs, and to step into the responsibility God has already given them to raise and educate their children according to His design.

Definition: Truancy refers to unexcused absences from school, particularly when a student fails to attend as required by law without a legal or acceptable reason. Truancy can trigger interventions by schools and, in some states, legal consequences for parents.

Here’s the receipts…dig in!

Legislation:

*I am including links to Legiscan, this is a great tool for looking up legislation and deciphering it without a biased view.

* Tennessee: SB1705, SB1470, SB1968, HB1823, HB1896, HB1729, HB1879

* Missouri: HB1744, SB1163, SB1341 (we didn’t talk about these last two but they are of concern because it would entail receiving state money-”with the money comes the strings”)

WHAT TO STOCK AT HOME AND WHERE TO START

In this episode, we dive into natural treatments for common illnesses, how to begin swapping pharmaceuticals for natural options, and what’s truly worth keeping stocked at home. Our goal is not perfection—but progress. Even small changes can make a big difference in supporting your body naturally.

We also understand how overwhelming it can feel to “do all the things.” That’s why we focused on multi-use remedies, practical guidance, and a realistic starter pack you can build over time—many items are inexpensive and easy to find locally.

People say you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. The truth is, you knew what you had, you just never thought you’d lose it.

In this episode, I’m joined by Susan Burns, a member of the leadership team for the Mid Missouri Landowners Alliance, a grassroots organization working to educate landowners and communities about the rapid expansion of large-scale solar projects on Missouri farmland. Susan brings extensive knowledge and firsthand experience as she outlines the serious concerns surrounding these developments — from environmental and safety risks to property rights and government oversight.

🔥 Key Topics Discussed

⚠️ Safety & Environmental Concerns with Utility-Scale Solar

Susan details multiple risks associated with large solar installations, including:

* 🔥 Increased fire dangers, especially in rural areas where emergency response times can be longer.

* 💧 Potential chemical contamination, with concerns about substances leaching into soil and groundwater.

* 🌪️ Flying glass and debris during high-wind events and tornadoes, posing risks to nearby homes, farmland, livestock, and first responders.

Susan emphasizes that these risks are often downplayed or ignored, particularly when projects are fast-tracked.

🏡 Impacts on Neighboring Landowners

One of the most pressing issues discussed is how solar farms affect people who do not sign leases:

* 📉 Decreased neighboring property values

* Loss of peaceful enjoyment of property

* Lack of meaningful protections or compensation for those impacted

Susan explains that many landowners feel they have no voice once a project is approved.

🛑 Regulatory & Oversight Concerns

* Susan raises alarms about the absence of effective checks and balances, particularly with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

* She explains how many solar companies are receiving significant federal subsidies, which encourages rapid development while accountability lags behind.

☀️ Solar Efficiency Realities

We also discuss the technical and geographic realities of solar energy in Missouri:

* Most solar panels operate at only 17–20% efficiency

* According to NOAA data, Missouri averages approximately 17 days per year of full solar efficiency

This raises important questions about whether the environmental and land-use tradeoffs are justified by the actual energy output.

*While there is no NOAA dataset that literally says “Missouri has 17 full efficiency days per year,” here’s how one could come to the conclusion that Susan did:

* Solar photovoltaic systems operate at about 17–20% efficiency in converting sunlight to electricity.

* Missouri’s sunlight potential varies by season and cloud cover — average yearly sunshine (clear + partly sunny days) is under ~200–220 days in many areas when sun is present to some degree.

Although solar receives sunlight many days of the year, peak production only happens when sunlight intensity and panel conditions align (clear skies, optimal angle, moderate temperatures). That’s why practical output is much lower than ideal rated capacity.

🧾 Federal Policy & the Acceleration of Projects

There has been a widespread belief that recent federal legislation would slow or rein in green energy expansion. However, Susan explains how an 11th-hour change instead:

* Gave companies until July 4, 2026 to begin projects

* Allowed four additional years to complete construction

* Ensured they still receive full federal subsidies

Rather than stopping projects, this change has lit a fire under developers to move faster.

“Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1; Public Law 119-21), the federal tax incentives for solar and wind projects now require that a project begin construction by July 4, 2026 and be placed in service by December 31, 2027 in order to qualify for the Clean Energy Investment Credit (Section 48E) and the Clean Electricity Production Credit (Section 45Y) — provisions which were part of the final enacted text. Full bill text can be read at Congress.gov: H.R. 1, 119th Congress.

*If you want to do some more digging you can check out the IRS Notice 2025-42 (it’s only 500 pages!).

📜 Missouri Legislation to Review

During the episode, several Missouri bills were mentioned as potential steps in the right direction. I want to be clear: I have not fully studied these bills, so I am not comfortable giving a full endorsement of them at this time. I strongly encourage listeners to read them carefully and evaluate them constitutionally.

* 📄 SB 849 — Places a moratorium on construction of solar projects in Missouri.https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB849/2026

* 📄 SB 933 — Another Senate bill seeking a moratorium on solar projects.https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB933/2026

* 📄 HB 2477 — House bill creating a moratorium on solar with an emergency clause.https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HB2477/2026

* 📄 SB 879 — Senate bill modifies and creates new provisions relating to electric utilities.https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/SB879/2026

* 📄 HB 2478 — House bill modifies provisions relating to utilities.https://legiscan.com/MO/bill/HB2478/2026

🏛️ A Host’s Reflection: Government, Property Rights & Local Control

This is where my own wrestling begins.

As many of you know, I firmly believe the Founders intended government to play a very limited role in our daily lives — primarily to protect the God-given rights of the people. That belief makes issues like planning and zoning complicated for me.

Susan believes — and I agree — that if regulation exists, it is better handled at the local level rather than the state. However, I continue to wrestle with important questions:

* Does the Missouri Constitution allow the legislature to delegate this authority without a constitutional amendment?

* Should government be involved in planning and zoning at all?

* Where is the line between personal property rights and harm to others, and who has the authority to define it?

Susan shared that she once opposed planning and zoning, but after witnessing the consequences of having none in place, she now supports it in situations like this. While I understand that shift, I’m still carefully weighing the broader implications. Because implementing panning and zoning never affects just one situation.

🐄 Slippery Slope or Legitimate Boundary?

I raise hypothetical concerns that go beyond solar:

* If zoning can restrict solar projects due to perceived harm, could it also be used against a hobby farmer selling raw milk?

* If officials believe something is harmful to the community, does that justify intervention?

Is that a stretch? Maybe. But in today’s America, I’m not convinced anything is off the table.

🙏 Final Thoughts

I learned a tremendous amount from Susan. She is incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and motivated by a genuine desire to protect landowners, communities, and future generations.

The challenge lies in determining how we protect people without sacrificing foundational principles of liberty and property rights.

Please reach out to Susan if you have other questions. You can email or call her at 573-310-4655. You can also find out more about what’s going on in her county here.I also recommend checking out this website for some great information and receipts on what’s happening with current solar farms.

In this episode, we take a careful, Scripture-centered look at Israel and the Christian responsibility toward it—seeking clarity beyond political talking points or popular theological assumptions.

We address the foundational question: what does it actually mean to support Israel as a Christian? Rather than treating Israel as an exception among the nations, we argue that biblical support should look the same as it does for any nation—measured by truth, righteousness, justice, and submission to God.

We examine what “Israel” means in Scripture and ask difficult but necessary questions, including whether support is tied to a name, a modern nation-state, or covenant faithfulness to God. We also discuss whether Christians are obligated to support a nation simply because it bears the name Israel, even if it were to abandon God’s commands or fall under ungodly leadership.

The conversation briefly engages dispensationalism, explaining why we do not believe it offers the most faithful framework for understanding God’s promises. Instead, we turn to the biblical witness—particularly Romans 3–5 and 9–11—to show that righteousness has always been grounded in faith, not ethnicity, lineage, or national identity.

We explore Genesis 12:2–3, emphasizing that God’s promise to Abraham is not only about blessing but also about purpose: “and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” This promise ultimately finds its fulfillment in Christ, through whom blessing is extended to Jew and Gentile alike.

Drawing from Romans 4, we highlight that Abraham was declared righteous by faith, and that those who walk in the footsteps of his faith are counted righteous as well. This leads naturally to 1 Peter 2:9–10, where God’s people are defined not by ethnicity, but by their calling in Christ.

Scripture consistently teaches that God’s covenant promises are tied to faith and obedience. Throughout the Old Testament—particularly in Jeremiah chapters 7–31—God repeatedly calls Israel to repentance, warning that disobedience is a departure from the covenant, not a guarantee of blessing.

This episode ultimately calls Christians to a faithful, biblical posture—one that loves truth, rejects theological shortcuts, and understands that God’s promises are fulfilled through repentance, faith, and obedience to Him, for Israel and for all nations.

Please feel free to contact me with any thoughts or questions you have. I really enjoy having these conversations and want to make sure we’re always seeking Truth for the answers! Thanks to Ostreatus for sharing your insight and wisdom.

Walking into AmericaFest for the first time felt like stepping into controlled chaos. Thousands of people. Loud music. Bright lights. Constant movement. Lines for everything. Entry. Food. Coffee. Bathrooms. But that’s part of the energy of AmFest — it’s meant to feel big, bold, and unforgettable.

Thankfully, I had a press pass, which occasionally meant quicker entry and access — but this was also my first time doing any kind of remote press work. Learning how to move through a massive venue, trying to get the best picture without proper equipment (big shout out to my “cameraman” husband for showcasing his photography skills with his iPhone 16, lol!), track people down for interviews, and still try to capture thoughtful conversations was a challenge in itself. Add in the volume of the main hall — which was almost always loud — and getting usable interviews became harder than I expected.

The vibe this year was tense. And a big reason for that wasn’t just the size of the crowd — it was the content of what was being said.

The weekend kicked off with Ben Shapiro delivering a pointed address (one that I think confirmed to people the kind of guy he really seems to be) that set the tone for internal debates throughout the event. Shapiro didn’t hold back, sharply criticizing certain commentators and warning about “charlatans” and conspiracy-driven voices within the broader conservative movement. redstate.com

His comments sparked reactions across the lineup — including pushback from others like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson (if you haven’t ever actually listened to Tucker and have made your opinions of him based off sound bytes, I strongly encourage you to actually listen to his show!) — creating an atmosphere where unity felt challenging. But, as Tulsi Gabbard (who I truly wonder if she can take a bad picture!) wisely said, “sometimes we can unite around the wrong thing”.

Which causes me to wonder, maybe unity isn’t right for this moment, maybe all of this is necessary to separate the “wheat and the chaff”.

One of the most striking moments came from Glenn Beck, who challenged the crowd directly:“You look for a leader. May I propose one? You. You ask those questions, but then you find the truth. Don’t wait for someone to bring it to you.”

That message landed differently in an environment where so many people were searching for direction — and maybe even permission — to think for themselves.

Russell Brand ended up being my favorite speaker of the weekend, which genuinely surprised me. His speech stood out — not just in tone, but in authenticity. As someone who is often very skeptical of celebrities becoming “christians”, I had no doubt in my mind that this conversion is real for Brand! And praise God for the amazing transformation that can only come through the perfect blood of the Lamb-Jesus Christ.In a lineup dominated by high-profile political media figures and elected officials, Brand offered something that felt different and genuinely thought-provoking. (If you want to listen to his full speech, it’s online on YouTube.) YouTube

Steve Deace made an observation that stuck with me:that certain phrases and terms are now used almost like code — a way to instantly identify whether someone is “on your team.” My thoughts-While that can create solidarity, it also deepens division and makes real debate harder. If we assume disagreement automatically means disloyalty, we lose the ability to have honest conversations.

J.D. Vance echoed that concern in his own way, saying:“The best way to honor Charlie is that none of us here should be doing after his death what he himself refused to do in life.”It was a reminder that canceling, silencing, or shutting down debate runs directly against the legacy so many claim to be protecting.

Rep. Byron Donalds also highlighted just how influential Charlie Kirk has been, especially for younger conservatives:“The conservative movement was not speaking to you until Charlie Kirk came along.”He followed that with a challenge — that if you want to make an impact, you have to be willing to go places they don’t want to hear you. That idea felt especially relevant in a weekend marked by disagreement and discomfort.

One of my biggest disappointments was the lack of meaningful discussion around Israel. It’s an issue that clearly matters deeply — especially to younger generations — and you could sense that people were hungry for answers, clarity, and leadership on it. The absence of that conversation was noticeable.

All in all, AmericaFest was a good experience — one I’m genuinely glad I had. It stretched me professionally, pushed me into my first real remote press environment, and gave me a front-row seat to a major moment inside the conservative movement.

But it also taught me something about myself. Days surrounded by massive crowds, constant noise, blaring music, and bright lights isn’t where I thrive. By the end of the weekend, I realized that while I value the conversations, ideas, and people, I don’t necessarily enjoy being immersed in that level of sensory overload for days at a time.

Whether you’re planning to go next year, or just curious about what goes on behind the scenes of a major national conference — I hope you enjoy this episode and some pics from the weekend!

Edit: I unfortunately used the wrong name when talking with my interviewee! She has graciously forgiven me but I wanted to set the record straight: Connie (not Nancy) Miller was my guest.

“Abortion wasn’t a moment in my past. It followed me for years.”

In this deeply moving episode, Jennifer Barker shares her extraordinary journey through fear, faith, and redemption—a story that challenges medical prognoses, cultural narratives, and the idea that abortion is a simple solution.

At 37 years old, Jennifer’s pregnancy was immediately labeled “high risk.” Ultrasounds revealed cystic hygromas and markers commonly associated with chromosomal abnormalities and severe heart defects. Doctors warned her that her baby might not survive—and counseling sessions included abortion as an option. Having endured an abortion herself at 19, Jennifer knew she could not walk that path again.

Instead, she turned to prayer. After being anointed with oil and surrounded by her church community, Jennifer returned for another ultrasound—only to discover the cystic hygromas had completely disappeared! Her daughter was later born healthy, defying every expectation placed upon her life.

Jennifer also bravely opens up about the lasting physical and emotional trauma of her past abortion, the years of guilt and shame that followed, and the forgiveness she found through faith.

“Every child deserves a chance at life—no matter the circumstances of their conception or the predictions made about them.”

We must confront the realities of abortion’s long-term impact on women, the uncertainty of fetal anomaly diagnoses, and the moral weight of legislative decisions surrounding life. This episode is a call to examine truth over convenience, hope over fear, and the inherent value of every human life.

If you would like to get in touch with Jennifer you can find her on Facebook.You can find the legislation (HJR73) we discussed that will go to a vote of the people in 2026 for a constitution change in the state of Missouri. I also believe Act4MO has done a great video series breaking down and discussing A3 (HJR73). Find those here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.

I did an episode with Jennifer back in August regarding the “no shot, no school” fallacy, it’s a great listen! You can find that episode here.

What is self- governance?

Mark Herr, at Center for Self Governance, has been on a journey for the past 15 years learning what it means to be self-governed. Why it’s so important for people to understand how to self-govern; what the different types of self-governance are; and how we can keep individual thoughts and beliefs while still working together as one country.

Mark’s studies have brought him to discover there are 4 different types of "self" views:

* The original patchwork of colonies: a belief in a higher power that influenced the making of our country.

* No belief in a higher power.

* Humans are the highest power.

* Every living organism has a soul/conscience.

So how do these different views affect our day-to-day life? Is it possible for all these views to coexist? Is one view better than the others?

Thanks for reading Nadine@9’s Substack! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Perhaps these thoughts and ideas are nothing new to you but for me (and I would guess for others as well) many of these ideas were very foreign and, to be blunt, crazy!How could someone honestly believe that a body of water should have the same rights as a human being??

Then again, since we live in a world where most value is often determined by what each person decides and not by the Truth, should I really be shocked by these “crazy” ideas?

For many of us in “fly-over” states it’s easy to think what happens on the coasts won’t hit us here. But that thinking is very dangerous and detrimental to the way of life many of us cherish.

Talking with Mark I’m reminded once again that without Christ and His Word guiding our daily lives our nation will continue to fall apart. As John Adams so wisely said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.”

I hope you will take some time to hear Mark’s heart and passion. And then I’d love to hear from you! What do you think about his 4 views of self-governance?

You can contact Mark at the Center For Self Governance on their website, Facebook, X, Youtube, and all the others!

If you’d like to read more about the case we discussed regarding King Ranch in Coulee City, WA you can find a link to the story here.

Mark also references Rep. Mazzie Christensen’s legislation which you can read here.

I always look forward to getting to interview Twila Brase, founder of the Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom, her knowledge and passion are inspiring and so helpful in knowing how to navigate these every day issues we all face.

Thanks for reading Nadine@9’s Substack! This post is public so feel free to share it.

Twila takes the time to uncover the real story behind HIPAA—where it came from, why it was written, and what it actually allows.

* How HIPAA originated and the political push that shaped it”Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996””HIPAA Privacy Rule 2003”

* Why the most “common misconceptions” are not misconceptions at all, but deliberate deception

“20 HIPAA Harms”

* What HIPAA truly permits when it comes to sharing your medical information

* Why understanding this law is essential to protecting health freedom today

* What your rights are

* Tools/Resources to help you feel better equipped

* Helpful Handouts

If you’ve ever been told “HIPAA won’t allow that,” this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew and empower you with the truth.

Earlier this year I did an interview with Twila regarding RealID, it is a must-listen! You can find that episode here:

Ike Skelton takes his role as Presiding Commissioner very seriously.

So seriously, in fact, he faced 2 felony counts and 1 misdemeanor because he chose to enforce the ordinance Camden County had passed n December of 2024.

What was so serious that it would cause Commissioner Skelton to risk so much?

Flock Cameras. (This is the website that a caller mentioned you can go to and report the location of the cameras)

I’m sure you’ve heard of them. Or at least seen them. They’re those little black boxes (oftentimes with a small solar panel attached) that have been popping up all over the country for the past few years. But don’t worry; they’re there to protect us and they would NEVER be misused *heavy sarcasm*.

Ike is one of the few political servants who takes his role in serving the people of his country so seriously that he was willing to face these erroneous charges because as he says, “I’m going to fight to protect your rights whether you like it or not!”

What are you willing to fight against? What mountain will you die on?

I hope more of us will have courage like Ike did and does. And that we will always remember; God put us in this country for a reason and we are to be good stewards of all He’s given us. Let us not be so short-sighted we forget to be good stewards for future generations as well!

Ike and I go into more detail about Flock cameras in a previous episode. You can listen to it here:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope. -Romans 15:3
