I don’t often do monologues on my show. Which might seem ironic for a radio show host but I’m not naturally a talker! I’m not one of those women who talks to talk.

Don’t get me wrong, I can carry on a conversation but I really dislike small-talk and I don’t like “boring people with the details” (shout out to those who caught the Dumb&Dumber quote!).

But on occasion I really believe the Lord is pressing on me to speak; not my words, but His. This platform is, after all, for Him! So this morning I turned the mic up and trusted Him to speak through me.

It is my sincere hope that is who you hear in the first 30mins.

00:31:00 Jeremy Jacobs insight is so helpful in understanding when incrementalism is troublesome and how we can examine if something is moving in the right direction.

I have gotten to know Jeremy over the past year and half and am always encouraged by his commitment to prayer and his desire to save the unborn by reaching the born. I am grateful for his reminder that prayer is tangible and it is the key to changing hearts. No legislation will do what only God can do!

No matter what state you live in, I know this topic applies to you. I hope it is helpful in understanding the problem with pro-lifers giving in to certain types of incrementalism. I hope you will also become a person of prayer; petitioning the Lord to change the hearts of those who seek to devalue life based on how they feel or what’s convenient.

Let’s remember how mighty our God is and not settle for less than His perfect will!

HJR73 will be on the ballot in 2026 as Amendment 3.

If you have not watched the Charlie Kirk memorial, I highly encourage you to do so. I can often be skeptic of large religious type gatherings but this was not that! It was truly a beautiful day of Worship and Praise and the Gospel was preached boldly by many!

Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm 139:13-16

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7

“But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.” 1 Peter 3:14-16

“because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

Is a low-fat diet responsible for creating the chronic disease/obesity epidemic in our country?

What is actually causing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, NAFLD, and hypertension?

Did salt get blamed for what sugar did?

For years dietitians have operated under the same teaching: eat a low-fat diet and everything will be fine!

Why are so many hesitant to change their thinking and their treatment protocols?

Thankfully Donna was not! She was willing to accept that her old way of thinking and teaching wasn’t actually truth and that there’s a better way forward. And although the ship seems to be SLOWLY turning, we can find hope in people like Donna who are paving the way for more like her and her passion to educate.

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

There are moments in life when it seems like you have no words and yet there are so many things you want to say. Words to help process whatever you’re feeling.

That’s how grief is to me. When the pain is so deep all you have are tears. And while it seems like words would help process the grief, they just keep getting stuck.

A little over a year ago I experienced a depth of grief I had not felt for many years. And I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten older, my empathy continues to heighten almost to the point of being unbearable at times.

Last year, around this time, our community experienced the tragic loss of OBPD Phylicia Carson. I will never forget where I was when my husband told me the horrible news. And the waves of grief began to wash over me. For the next several days I found myself unable to control the tears. The pain inside from the grief needed to come out and the tears were that outlet. Though I wasn’t close to Phylicia, she was a friend and so is her family. Knowing how painful it must’ve been for the beautiful family she left behind just continued to pierce my heart. The only thing that brought comfort is knowing she is home with the Savior!

I found myself feeling that same level of grief this Wednesday, September 10th, 2025. The day Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

But why did I feel such pain for someone I had never even met?

I think that says a lot about the type of person Charlie must’ve been. To have such an impact on people that they would grieve as though they’ve lost a dear friend when they’ve never even met you. A man who loved the Lord fiercely, who knew who he was created to be and stepped into it with great conviction and passion. He became such an influential part of so many of our lives. His passion, honesty and transparency drew us to him.

I have often thought about Charlie’s legacy. Especially last year during election season when I would listen to his show and hear how much he and the team at TPUSA were doing to try and save our country! It was amazing and inspiring to me the way he would unashamedly fight for what he believed in. I loved hearing the passion and excitement in his voice. And I remember thinking how grateful I was that he was on our side.

A few months back I was listening to him do an interview, I think with Jack Hibbs, when they were discussing what was next for him. I remember Charlie saying that right now he was spending some time enjoying the fruit of his labor. I keep replaying that in my head thinking on one side how grateful I am that he did get to see a little fruit while on this earth, but then on the other side feeling such a deep sense of loss over this man that seemed to still have so much left to do!

Was that truly all that God had planned for him? What about his beautiful wife and two little ones? What about the many people who were close to him? What about our country?

I’m reminded of Stephen-the first martyr for Christ-and the short time he seemed to have on earth. What grief those close to him must’ve felt! Did they think his life was unfairly cut short? That he was taken too soon? Did they have any idea of the impact his death would have for the world for the rest of time?

Would there’ve been a Charlie Kirk without Stephen’s death?

Charlie’s life exemplified Christ not only because he spoke and fought for Truth, but because he went to the sick. He took the Truth where it was desperately needed and where we’ve neglected to go for far too long. And the devil hated him for it. The devil will always hate strong, godly men who say, “here I am Lord, send me.”

So, the question now is: Are we willing to carry on the legacy of men like Stephen and Charlie even if it means death or losing a loved one? Will we say, “here I am Lord, send me”?

When a few weeks have passed and emotions aren’t as high and you’re bombarded with all the things, will you remember to carry the torch? Will you still want to? Where does your passion come from? Only the Lord can sustain.

I want to leave you with some scripture that has been a comfort to me for many years:“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21

As someone who operates in black and white, I get so frustrated when I hear elected officials (or really people in general!) completely disregard something that is so blatantly obvious! Wouldn’t things be so much simpler if we stopped trying to make gray areas where they aren’t?!

There’s a lot of information shared on this episode so please make sure to share it.

Founding Father Samuel Adams said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

That leaves me to wonder, what happens when we’ve become an immoral and irreligious people? What happens to the Constitution?

I think we’re seeing first hand that it no longer is being used the way our Founders intended; to protect we the people from having our God-given rights infringed upon. It serves much like the Bible does for many “Christians” (I used that term very loosely in this context); people picking and choosing what it means when they want it to!

So again, where does that leave us? More importantly, where does that leave future generations?

War is waging, I pray you are seeking the Truth and guiding your children to do the same because that is the ONLY way there will ever be hope again in this country!

Thank you to Camden County Presiding Commissioner for being my guest today and giving a short update regarding his case. Please be in prayer for him and pray for more dedicated public servants to answer this much needed to call to serve the people genuinely and humbly.

You may not be in the Camden County area but I can promise you that Ike’s case will have massive impact all over our state and country. Please consider donating to help him with legal fees. You can do that here.

From the very beginning of session this year, we knew Bryant was one to watch. So don’t be fooled by his baby face looks, he’s ready to step into the ring with the big boys and make them go all 12 rounds!

Almost weekly I say how grateful I am for this platform God has given me that allows me to learn and talk to many wonderful people. This week, was no exception!

Bryant is passionate and committed; not only to this state but more importantly to raising his family to love God and take duty seriously.

For decades well-intentioned parents have been trying to protect their kids from harsh realities but in the meantime are paving the way for a destructive culture that will lead to an unrecognizable country where freedom becomes a history point instead of a daily blessing.

We must teach our kids what it means to be good stewards of the country God has given us. But first, we must be good stewards of the country we’re passing down!

Your role doesn’t have to be running for a State Rep. or being an expert on legislation. You don’t even have to always know all the details. You can simply pray! Pray for these men and women who are running to represent our state and country. Pray for their families. Pray for their discernment. Pray for their spiritual, physical and mental safety. For we know that…”we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12

There are certain words we hear and automatically the mind goes to, “conspiracy theory”. But one major thing I’ve learned these past few years as I’ve dug deeper into politics on every level is that these “conspiracy theories” are rarely “theories”!

It’s time to stop assuming anything Orwellian or dystopian is only in Hollywood; if we open our eyes and actually look at what’s going on we will see many of these “theories” being played out in our own backyards!

Jan, Linda, and Bob have spent many hours and lots of energy researching what the TransAmerica Corridor (TAC) is, who’s behind it, and what the effects will be for us and generations to come.

I would generally direct you to the TAC website so you can look firsthand at the things we’re discussing but as of this morning, the website was on maintenance mode…nothing to see here people! *wink wink

Thankfully, lots of screenshots were taken before the website shut down so you can see what is being said is right from the TAC minds.

Please take the time to look through the research and dig in more on your own and share this episode with others. People need to know what’s going on in their backyards!

If you are concerned about the TAC, and would like to voice your concerns, here’s a list of those who were invited to the meeting at the Capitol on Wednesday, August 13th at 1pm in room 103:

Earl Norman, K Daughtery, Jason Bean, Donnie Brown, Jamie Burger, David Dolan, Keith Elliott, Tony Harbison, Pamela Harlan, Mike Henderson, Barry Hovis, Brad Hudson, Steve Jordan, Mike McGill, Robert Spurlock, John Voss, Bryant Wolfin, Dale Wright, and MoDot was also in attendance.

There will also be a meeting Las Vegas that two of our Reps were invited to sometime in September. If you would like to contact them they are Rep. Don Mayhew and Rep. Barry Hovis.

* Two videos explaining the TAC:

*This is about 8mins but is a better explanation. The second video is less than 2mins.

If you would like to talk with Bob Parker he would be happy to discuss these issues. You can contact him at 417-257-8711.

Make sure to tune in next Friday 8/22 to hear from Rep. Bryant Wolfin!

Whether you send kids to public school or not, I’m sure you’ve heard it said that without the proper vaccinations, a child can not enroll in school. And in some situations a parent can be threatened with neglect if they choose to not abide by this requirement.

So what does the law actually say? Do your kids really have to be vaccinated?

Here in Missouri there are a few different options for parents who choose to make their own decisions for their child and not what the government has forced on them.

Jennifer has spent so much time gaining wisdom and knowledge in these areas so she can help inform parents so we can all make a much better educated decision on what’s best for our family.

I highly recommend sharing this episode with as many people as you can, specifically those who are sending a child to public school.

We briefly discuss SJR33 that will be Amendment 3 on the ballot this November or in 2026. *It is actually HJR73 that was the one that made it all the way through. But they are basically the same legislation.

To be honest, I hadn’t even looked at Amy M Castro and Michael Compton website until about an hour before I interviewed them. Not because I don’t like them or disagree with their cause, but because I’m just like the rest of you…busy. I thought I had already seen anything that they would have to offer so why take the time to look at something new and overwhelm myself with yet another place to get information?!

When I finally did get on there this morning so I would have a better ideas of what questions to ask them, I was blown away!

Could it be that there was finally a website that was EXACTLY what I had been wanting?!

All I could think while I browsed through was, “I can’t believe I’ve gone without this all this time!”

The way they break things down is so simple and helpful. It’s so easy to get a snapshot of what you need to know OR dig in much deeper. And while they do share their thoughts on certain legislation, it’s evident that they have really tried to look at both sides when doing their research.

I applaud them for sacrificing so much time, energy and money to try and help educate and equip those of us who are “too busy” to pay attention and/or get involved. There’s truly no excuse now! I urge you to check out Act4MO.org and bookmark it. It will be the best tool you can have to stay informed but not get overwhelmed.

While all things take money, the biggest request Michael and Amy have was not for financial help but simply for more people to sign up for the Rapid Response team texts, or to get in touch with them and go take a trip to the Capitol, or to simply share their social media posts! There’s so many non time-consuming ways you can make a really big difference. They’ve done all the hard work, I think we can go the other 10%!

And while they might not ask for donations, I will gladly ask on their behalf because I know how needed what they’re doing is and how important it is for us to come alongside them. Do we care about future generations enough to sacrifice our lives, fortune, and sacred honor?

“God’s purpose is not to make us happy in our sin.”

A testimony is a powerful thing. Scripture says that “they overcame him (the accuser) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.” (Rev. 12:11a)

Sometimes I think people feel like unless their testimony has a “wow” factor it’s really not worth sharing. But I believe every person who has surrendered their life to Jesus has the biggest “wow” factor you can get in a testimony! So go and share yours, I know it will impact someone!

Julian definitely has some “wow” factors in his testimony but I know that he would absolutely agree that the most amazing part of his story is God’s unending love and mercy. No matter how far we fall or blackened by sin we become, the blood of the perfect Lamb is enough.

It’s enough to save us and it’s enough to sustain us through the darkest days.

I pray Julian’s testimony will be an encouragement to you if you are struggling with addiction, or some other sin, that there is absolutely hope in Jesus Christ!

You can learn more about Julian and his ministry here.
