Welcome back and happy new year! Have you heard a Tax Revolt being promoted? Rita begins today’s episode complaining about taxes - something we should be doing way more often.

Rita then discusses some changes happening within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Namely, an executive order directing HHS to stop hospitals from preforming ‘sex-rejecting’ procedures on children and how that relates to Medicare and Medicaid.

There are also the changes to the vaccine schedule (moving from 72 recommended doses to about 38) and the flipping of the food pyramid and the inevitable divide on whether these are good things or bad things.

Moving forward let’s refuse to take on the cultural chaos we’re seeing online! Rita reminds us that having a biblical foundation before consuming headlines/reels/posts online will help us discern what we’re seeing and sort through it all.

In Rita’s last episode of the year, she’s joined by her good friend and previous cohost, Cecily Dickey!

If you’re a new listener, Cecily prayerfully left the podcast in September of this year. She is now the Director of Women’s Ministry with Central Community Church, fulfilling her calling locally. 

In a time where things online feel like they’re falling apart and people have a tendency to seek conformity, the hope is we’ll seek to be who God intended us to be. That we can pursue truth in this world while staying rooted in God’s truth.

Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may judge what is God’s will, what is good, pleasing and perfect.

- Romans 12:2

Enjoy this conversation, not only for the encouragement Rita and Cecily provide in pointing people to the truth in the gospel and the world but the much needed laughter between friends.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless!

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk there was a feeling of being unified but in the months that followed that camaraderie shifted back to confusion as many of us were left with questions that couldn’t/have yet to be answered.

In today’s episode, Rita is discussing some current events: Candace Owen’s, Communism, Chaos and Conspiracy, and the Hep B Vaccine.

Without a firm spiritual foundation, these topics and the questions surrounding them can feel confusing, frustrating, and stressful. You may feel as if you’re being tossed by the waves - Ephesians 4:14.

As Christians it can be difficult to find a middle ground in questioning everything and nothing and knowing what to believe.

The need for discernment has never been greater but God has given us the gift of the Bible to be our guide. 

A lot of our questions may forever go unanswered and that doesn’t mean we need to give up the pursuit for truth, justice, and freedom but our ultimate goal should always be to seek God’s will and walk the narrow path.

Today’s guest is an Infectious Disease Scientist. She has a Bachelors of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology and a Masters in Infectious Disease and Microbiology. Even with all of these titles, Ellie came to the realization that she wasn’t educated but indoctrinated.

Ellie’s combined personal and pharmaceutical experience - as well as her education and hands on research - has given her the ability to take complex scientific topics and break them down for the average person!

Rita and Ellie will be discussing abortion and fetal and embryonic cell lines in vaccines; how those are obtained, used and some very valid concerns with the process and potential harmful outcomes in receiving these vaccines.

Once again, Rita stresses the importance of seeking truth without making an idol out of that pursuit. Be curious but humble enough to admit when we may not have the answers.

Fetal and embryonic cell lines mentioned. 

https://www.cellosaurus.org/

To view them you type in 'human fetal cell lines' or 'embryonic fetal cell lines'. If it starts with the same numbers or letters, that indicates the original cell line has been combined with things or has certain genes deleted. 

An example are fetal cell lines starting with 293 were all derived originally from HEK293. However, CCC-ESF-1, CCC-HEK-1, CCC-HEL-1, CCC-HPF-1, CCC-HSF-1 are all from one fetus, but different parts. Whereas, HUES36, HUES37, HUES38, HUES39 are 4 separate embryonic cell lines that are genetic siblings.

“You have a superpower as a woman and it’s empowering a man to become the best possible version of himself.”

As mothers, we have this same power when it comes to our homes and our children.

Tilly Dillehay shares how women and the struggle, need for, and importance of strengthening our spiritual maturity is foundational in maintaining a Christian home.

In her book, My Dear Hemlock - written in a similar style to C.S. Lewis - Tilly shares a series of letters that speak to how the early seeds of sin lead to life-altering sin through phone use, mothering, empathy, and even marriage.

There’s a difference between striving for a good life and living a Christian life. Being a Christian woman begins with acknowledging that you are a sinner and God has given you new life. That perspective gives you a freedom that changes what you cling to and what you release in this world.

This conversation with Tilly is so encouraging and her book is a must for women in all seasons of life!

Have you felt a growing tension/division within the conservative movement? Has it been difficult to find a person/source that you actually agree with?

A growing confusion about the many things going on in the world, combined with a lack of moral direction is taking the focus off where we should really be headed as a people and country.

Rita discusses both the opposition and support for Nick Fuentes, a self-proclaimed Christian conservative who has recently been drawing attention for his - sometimes very vulgar - political and religious commentary. She’ll touch on America First, Christian Nationalism, Diversity, and what’s missing - a common moral thread.

For those of us who claim to be Christians, how we speak and conduct ourselves matters. The goal is to help you sort through the things going on in the world in a way that equips you to go out and confidently have these conversations - to do all for the glory of God.

50 million children attend public schools - funded by your tax dollars - and a growing number of those schools are implementing School Based Health Centers (SBHCs).

Rhyen Staley, Director of Research for Defending Education, joins Rita to discuss SBHCs and how this program - without safeguards - has lead to yet another opportunity for the government to infringe on parental rights. 

They’ll touch on the role of unions, the Freedom of Information Act, the age of consent, and breaking the cycle of indoctrination. 

Children having access to care that they might not otherwise have sounds really good, in theory, but when you dig a little deeper is this just another opportunity for something (the internet, government, school…) other than parents, authority over your child?

As Boom Clap moves forward into the next chapter with Rita solely at the helm, what’s to come? A few minutes are spend reorienting and reviewing the purpose this podcast serves.

One thing that you’ll likely see more of is a continuation of health and healthcare related conversations. Rita dips her toes into this by outlining the conversation that should be happening when it comes to vaccines. Autism isn’t the only problem.

Do you feel like you are alone on an island when it comes to watching the fall out from the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation? Do you have questions? Do you want those questions answered but find yourself shying away from the drama filled, click bait style reporting? If so, you aren’t alone.

Should it look different when Christians seek justice? Let’s discuss.

Rita touches on the fallout from the White House press conference on the possible link between Tylenol and autism. This is a conversation we should be celebrating but instead receiving backlash and creating odd dividing lines.

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there’s been a surge of people with the desire to be bolder in sharing their faith coupled with a desire to have better dialogue and conversations. Rita takes you through a 4 part plan to help equip yourselves to take action by building a foundation.

It’s one thing to say you’re going to do something but what is your plan to accomplish that desired goal? Do you have a solid foundation of faith or are you relying on someone else to interpret what is good and true? Do you know history well enough to defend you ideas in conversation around policy?

Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

Today is Rita’s first episode as sole host and she welcomes her friends Echo (@echounafraid on Instagram) and Heather Knapp (@caroots_t boots on Instagram).

We’re living in a time where we’re consuming information in 15 second clips…and those 15 second clips often times lack context. 

Sound bites at a time where critical thinking, discernment, and dialogue is at an all time low. Shutting down conversation (and the comments section) is a missed opportunity to listen and learn.

We’re forming our world view with less information and in less time than ever. 

Rita, Echo, and Heather also discuss Hate Speech. What is it? Who gets to define it?

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, many have felt compelled to be bold in sharing their faith. In speaking up.

God warns us that ‘you will be hated by everyone for my names sake’ - Matthew 10:22-23

You may be hated for sharing His teachings and His teachings may be interpreted as hate. 

Will this be your turning point?

"If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas, not run away from them or try and silence them." - Charlie Kirk
