Today we're talking about a difficult topic – the shooting that occurred at a Christian school yesterday in Nashville, claiming the lives of six people, three of whom were children. We start with a word of encouragement, as emotions are high: God sees this, he is grieved by it more than any of us could ever be, and he will do something about it. We share our condolences to the families of the victims, one of whom was the 9-year-old daughter of a beloved local pastor. The shooter, a woman who identified as a man, was killed by brave police less than 15 minutes after they got the first call. We take a look at some of the rhetoric that's been spreading since the shooting, from news correspondents blaming conservatives to anti-Christian messages of "understanding" about the shooter's potential motive against Christians. We also look at trans activists' recent history of inciting violence against those they deem "genocidal." Yet despite the increasing tensions, we know whom we can take comfort in.

Today we’re joined again by Jinger Duggar Vuolo, author of "Becoming Free Indeed: My Story of Disentangling Faith from Fear," and Jeremy Vuolo to discuss their theology deep dive into Bill Gothard's teachings and how Jinger found herself in gospel truth. In her new book, Jinger shares her theological journey from following a fundamentalist leader to finding freedom in Christ. We discuss the immediate response to the book and some criticisms she has faced because of it. Jeremy shares how his upbringing shaped their theology after they met, and we talk about their study of the Duggars' traditional belief system and Jinger's realization that this theology was not entirely biblical. We also discuss Jinger's brother Josh, who is currently in prison, and how his actions, as well as the media portrayal of Christianity as a whole because of his actions, led Jinger and Jeremy to speak out for the true gospel. We also look at the lies spread about Jessa Duggar Seewald's miscarriage a few weeks ago, which many anti-Christian news sources claimed was an abortion. How do these lies affect Jinger, and how do Jinger and Jeremy cope with this media scrutiny?

Today our theme is "laugh so you don't cry" – we're covering some of the ridiculous things happening in our world, and while things are looking bleak, we're going to laugh at the absurdity. First, China's Xi Jinping and Russia's Putin met last week to ... take over the world? Meanwhile, in the U.S., the cast of "Ted Lasso" visits a White House press briefing (because we have time for that apparently), Joe Biden still can't seem to read from a prompter, and Vice President Kamala Harris sends a formal letter congratulating Dylan Mulvaney on 365 days of pretending to be a girl. We also take a look at a list of things that are now apparently racist, including coffee, ballet, and highways, and discuss Robin DiAngelo pushing for segregation.

Today we're starting off with a quick Trump update before diving into news from behind the pulpit. First, Pastor Mike Todd made waves after a recent sermon in which he talks about gender identity and sexuality in a pretty bizarre way. We look at the full context of the clip and break down what he was likely trying to say and why it isn't quite as bad as the viral clip going around makes it seem (albeit still strange). We explain why we don't need caveats or apologies for what God says. Then, a progressive pastor on TikTok claims that "drag is holy," and we break down his obviously ridiculous statement. Also, another NHL player recently refused to wear a pride-themed jersey for his team's pride event. While it's good that his team supported him in choosing not to endorse the agenda, the whole situation raises the question: Why do sports teams need to make a statement about this to begin with?

Today we have a very special guest – Allie's dad, Ron Simmons! He's here to talk about his new book, "Life Lessons from the Little Red Wagon: 15 Ways to Take Charge and Create a Path to Success," in which he shares his story and advice on how to live the richly meaningful life you were meant to live. We discuss his upbringing and how this shaped his work ethic, meeting Allie's mom, and what the "little red wagon" in his book stands for. We talk about finding financial freedom, building up a business, and prioritizing being a present father. Then, we take a look at Trump's announcement on Truth Social that he will be arrested today. What's really going on, and what will the response be?

Today we're talking about a few popular figures in culture. First, Dylan Mulvaney hosted a variety show this week to celebrate one year of pretending to be a woman. We take a look at some moments from the event and respond earnestly to Dylan: Jesus loves and cares for you. The joy you are searching for is only found in Him. Then, popular YouTuber Shane Dawson made headlines recently after posting a video with his partner about their IVF journey. They discuss the egg retrieval process and how to choose which eggs to implant while joking about "playing God." Shane Dawson has made several disgusting, pedophilic comments in the past about children, so why is it OK for him to now be creating a child? Adoption requires extensive background searches, yet anyone can participate in commercial surrogacy. There are always sad repercussions when children don't have both a mom and a dad. We wrap up today's episode with a clown world update: An Arizona school board ended the district's agreement with Arizona Christian University in an effort to “create a safe space for their LBGTQ students.” It seems that the Christian values at this university were getting in the way of the Left’s agenda.

Today we’re joined by Jonathan “JP” Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and author of “Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do?” to discuss the book as well as a few other things. First, JP explains his approach to preaching and the rigorous process he goes through to make sure that the sermons he prepares are the best that they can be. Preaching in Waco presents its own challenges and opportunities, since there are many college students who live there. JP talks about how he approaches speaking to young adult congregations. Then, what is sin and how should we think about it? We dive into the intricacies of sin and how our fleshly desires can rule over us if we're not staying aware. We also discuss the idea of authenticity – both good and bad – and how Christians need to submit both authenticity and autonomy in order for them to be virtues. Near the end of the interview, JP also poses a pointed question: What do you think happens after you die? And if you think you're going to heaven, how sure are you?

Today we're discussing a recent study many news outlets have reported on, which looks at the children of same-sex couples and concludes that these children fare the same or better than children of heterosexual couples. We start with some thoughts on "gay marriage" in general from a biblical standpoint, which would hold accurate even if this study were valid. Then we break down the study analysis, which was funded by China (the CCP), and its methodology, which has more than a few glaring issues, and outcomes. We share some studies that have been correctly done, which show that the opposite seems to be true – children of heterosexual couples indeed do fare better by many different metrics. We also share a big show update coming soon!

Today we're joined by Carol Roth, economic pro and recovering investment banker, to discuss Silicon Valley Bank, which failed over the weekend. Carol breaks down what happened on Friday with Silicon Valley Bank's failure, reportedly the second-largest bank failure in history, as well as the subsequent failure of a second bank — Signature Bank. How did the Federal Reserve's rapidly rising interest rates contribute to this catastrophe, and how will it affect us? The implications of this extend far outside of California, so we discuss how much we should be concerned and why it's important not to panic, but instead hope for the best and plan for the worst. We close out with a change in pace as we review the best and worst looks from the Oscars last night.

You can grab Carol's new book, "You Will Own Nothing," this July. Visit CarolRoth.com/nothing to pre-order your copy.
