September 19, 2025 Pastor Jack Hibbs Warns: Don’t Exploit Christianity for Politics and Attention
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit sits down with Pastor Jack Hibbs to process the nation’s response to the murder of Charlie Kirk—and what it means for the Church. They talk candidly about grief, rising hostility toward people of faith, and how believers can turn heartbreak into prayer, unity, and courage.

Through it all, he reminds us that truth endures and that God can use even tragedy to awaken hearts and nations.

September 09, 2025 Is U.S. History Being Twisted to Make America Look Evil? David & Tim Barton Respond
Has America been a force for good or for evil? Why are some podcasters suggesting that the U.S. should have sided with Hitler’s Germany over Churchill’s UK and Stalin’s USSR during World War II?

David Barton, founder of WallBuilders, is the author of over 20 books on American history and has served on numerous history advisory boards.
