The Family Policy Alliance Report Podcast

Family Policy Alliance hosted the nation's largest convening of the most important social conservative policy leaders in America. Together, they debated ideas, developed strategies and action steps, and casted fresh vision to increase their impact and influence in family-first public policy.

Hear from two of those leaders - Katy Faust, Founder and President of Them Before Us, and Joseph Backholm, a Senior Fellow for Biblical Worldview and Strategic Engagement at Family Research Council - as they share their perspectives and the efforts they are taking to strengthen conservative values.

As you watch TV or scroll through social media, it becomes pretty clear that we live in a culture that does not follow Christ. How can we navigate and lead our families through this culture? And how can we help kids see the world around them through a Biblical lens.  

Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries, joins Craig DeRoche to talk about navigating an un-Biblical world with a Biblical worldview, a perspective that he shares with wit and wisdom. If you’ve ever found it challenging to navigate our culture or wonder how to help the kids in your life see the world through a biblical lens, you won’t want to miss this conversation!

If you listen the narrative pushed by mainstream media, you’d think that there are just a few people who are against transgender interventions for kids. But, the coalition pushing back on transing kids is much broader than the media wants you to see.

Today, meet one of those “unlikely allies.” Mario Presents is the Director of Chapters at Gays Against Groomers. Since he started vocalizing his concerns about transgender interventions for minors, Mario has faced hostility from people on both sides of the political aisle, but he’s determined to continue speaking up for vulnerable children.

At Family Policy Alliance, we believe struggling children deserve real help, not the harm that comes with interventions aimed at “gender transition.” To stay up to date on the #HelpNotHarm campaign and learn how to take action, follow us on social media!

As a young child and trauma survivor, Erin Brewer hated that she was a girl. Life would be easier, she thought, if she were only a boy. So, she began walking down the path of transgenderism. But that wasn’t the end of her story.

Hear Erin’s inspiring story of how she came to love her God-given identity, and her encouragement for struggling children and their loved ones.

A word to parents: this interview may not be appropriate for young ears. We’d recommend popping in headphones if little ones are around. But, we do encourage you to listen when you can! Erin’s story and practical encouragement will be well worth your time.
Erin Brewer is a public speaker and author who advocates for protecting children from the transgender agenda. She is the co-founder of Advocates Protecting Children, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting the gender industry and promoting good cognitive therapy and self-acceptance.

Chemical abortions come with a high risk of complications such as hemorrhage, sepsis, and infection. In fact, they have 4 times the likelihood of complications in comparison with surgical abortion.
Concerningly, the FDA recently decided to allow local pharmacies to carry these pills. But the good news is that pro-life groups are fighting back to protect women and the unborn.
In our live video today, Dr. Christina Francis, a pro-life OB/GYN and CEO-elect of the American Association of Pro Life OB/GYNS, talks about the risks of chemical abortions and what she’s doing to protect life. Also hear from Erik Baptist, who serves as senior counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, as he explains a new lawsuit to hold the FDA accountable for failing to protect women.
At Family Policy Alliance, we are eager to help you stand for your pro-life values. To stay up to date on the national pro-life debate and know how to take action, follow us on social media!

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem signed her state’s Help Not Harm Act, making South Dakota the second state in the nation with a law of this kind. It protects vulnerable children from transgender interventions, including both dangerous sex-change surgeries and experimental hormones. The bill holds healthcare professionals accountable by providing child victims an opportunity to sue for damages.
Join us to hear from two people who worked on the front lines to make this bill into law. Rep. Bethany Soye (R-SD) and Norman Woods, Executive Director of Family Heritage Alliance, join Craig DeRoche to celebrate the victory of the Help Not Harm Act!
Here at Family Policy Alliance, we’ve been at work on this issue since 2017. And, while South Dakota is just the second state with a Help Not Harm law, there are many more states considering similar bills – that means more potential victories!

Their children changed into a completely different, unrecognizable person. The cause? A rampant political agenda.
Journalist Brandon Showalter of The Christian Post joins us today to talk about the new indie film, Dead Name. Dead Name showcases three stories of parents whose children suddenly began to “transition” in an attempt to live as the opposite sex. The film was recently canceled from its platform – but that hasn’t stopped the creators from sharing their message.

Dead Name is available to watch at deadnamedocumentary.com where viewers can purchase the film for $14.99 or rent it for $9.99.

How did America become so fragmented? Tim Goeglein, author of the new book, Toward a More Perfect Union: The Moral and Cultural Case for Teaching the Great American Story, believes it’s due to poor teaching of the American story at home and in the classroom. Today’s youngest generations do not understand or appreciate American excellence because they never learned proper American history to begin with.

What is the solution? In our live video, Tim Goeglein, Vice President of External and Government Relations at Focus on the Family, joins Craig DeRoche to talk about how restoring faith in the American dream begins in your local homes, communities, and churches. It starts with you.

Perhaps you’ve heard a story like this before: a person seeks a meal at a restaurant but is denied service. You might associate that story with the 1950s. But it just happened (our state ally in Virginia), and not for the reasons you’re thinking. Our friends at The Family Foundation in Virginia believe life is a basic human right, and that marriage is a lifelong union between one man and one woman. Because of those beliefs, they were denied service at Metzger’s Bar and Butchery in Richmond, Virginia.

In this episode, hear from The Family Foundation’s President Victoria Cobb as she explains how they handled the last-minute discrimination debacle.

Every year in January, tens of thousands of people come together to celebrate life. The March for Life has occurred for almost 5 decades, but this year’s march is a little different than the rest. The overturn of Roe v. Wade has changed the conversation on abortion. While we celebrate the lives saved by the overturn of Roe, a new journey has begun: we are on a mission to fully protect life federally and in every state.

Jeanne Mancini, the President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund, joins Craig DeRoche to talk about what makes this year’s march so unique – and #whywemarch even with Roe overturned.

Family Policy Alliance will be at the #MarchForLife event this year. If you’re there, don’t be shy – come say hello and grab a free #AfterRoe sign!
