Julaine Appling is the President of Wisconsin Family Action, and she’s a fearless advocate for life with an incredible story to share. She'll unpack the overturn of Roe v. Wade and how that impacted the nation.

Congressman Mike Johnson is in his third term representing the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana. He serves as the Vice Chairman of the House Republican Conference, as a leader on the Judiciary and Armed Services Committees, and as an Assistant Whip for House Republicans.

How should Christians respond to children in need? Dr. Sharen Ford of Focus on the Family says the Body of Christ needs to stand up, and that we are called to be a father to the fatherless. November is Adoption and Foster Care Month! This month, we reflect on the children in need of a loving home and take action to do our part in caring for our brothers and sisters in Christ. We wrap up Adoption and Foster Care Month as Craig DeRoche, CEO of Family Policy Alliance, sits down with Dr. Sharen Ford, Director for Foster Care and Adoption at Focus on the Family. Dr. Ford discusses why Christians in particular are called to action in this area, and how there are many ways we can care for the children in our communities.

Dr. Ford has dedicated her professional career to foster care and adoption services. She spent 30 years in the Division of Child Welfare Services at the Colorado Department of Human Services. She is the former President of the National Association of State Adoption Programs and the Association of Administrators for the Interstate Compact on Adoption Medical Assistance, and currently serves as the Director for Foster Care and Adoption at Focus on the Family.

Three phrases that don’t belong together: government-funded, transgender interventions, for minors. You read that right: the government is paying to help John look like Jane. And, in the state of Pennsylvania, it amounts to more than $16.7 million in taxpayer dollars. Join us today to hear from our state ally Pennsylvania Family Institute about this shocking discovery, and what else they learned when they filed a right-to-know request in their state.

As Christians, we are called to let our light shine, and that can look different for each of us. For Representative Josh Brecheen, he chose to listen to the still small voice telling him to be a political leader. Join us as Congressman Brecheen shares how being a father inspired him to run for office, and how he chooses to lead not with ambition, but with faith.

Macy's tears were tears of joy that Roe was overturned. But to the Democrats who shared this image, that didn't make sense: to them, they were tears of sadness. Join us to hear Macy tell her story, and get the inside scoop: why is the Democratic party so obsessed with abortion? With the 2022 Election less than a week away, you’ve probably already seen countless ads telling you who to vote for (or not). Autumn Leva, Senior Vice President of Strategy at Family Policy Alliance, points out the general theme around these ads – abortion – and why the left can’t let it go.

Kwame Kilpatrick went from the youngest mayor of Detroit, to a prisoner in a cell, to a pastor starting his own ministry. How did it happen? Hear his inspiring testimony as he sits down with Craig DeRoche, CEO of Family Policy Alliance. The two also discuss Proposal 3 in Michigan, a ballot initiative that, if passed in the #2022Election, would protect a “right” to abortion and sterilization – including for minors. If it becomes law, the proposal even has the potential to override age of consent laws and parental rights protections. Craig DeRoche and Kwame Kilpatrick unpack a lot in this interview, and you’ll be on the edge of your seat from start to finish!
