The Family Policy Alliance Report Podcast

Public school students spend seven hours a day, five days a week, for most of the year in the classroom. Wouldn’t it be great to include an opportunity for students to learn the truth of the Bible during some of this time?

The good news is that in many places, they can. Bible2School, led by Kori Pennypacker, offers a dynamic Bible program for students during the school day through a nationwide released time program. They have served for more than 40 years, offering elementary school children Scripture in a way that has changed countless lives.

Kori has over 20 years of experience in children’s ministry and leadership. As CEO of Bible2School, she speaks to businesses, churches, and community leaders on the importance of spiritual training for children nationwide.

She has been a guest on Dr. James Dobson's “Family Talk” and “Moms in Prayer” podcasts and is the host of Bible2School’s podcast, “You CAN Tell the Children.” Join us for this special podcast.

Family Policy Alliance CEO Craig DeRoche and Government Affairs Director Dylan Jeremiah attended a special event Monday at the White House Rose Garden where President Donald Trump, along with First Lady Melania Trump in attendance, signed the Take It Down Act.

This law bans revenge pornography and fights to protect victims from digital exploitation.

In this special podcast, Craig and Dylan share their reactions to the new law from our nation's capital, sharing how God is working behind the scenes in Washington. From the Take It Down Act to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, pro-family initiatives are making an impact.

Dylan engages with Congressional offices, federal agencies, and the executive branch, as well as partners with D.C.-based national allies in his role with FPA.

Since the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, many in the pro-life movement, including faithful believers like you, have asked, What now?

How do we continue to defend life, not just in law, but in hearts, homes, and communities?

Roland Warren, President and CEO of Care Net, offers a powerful and timely answer. Warren’s vision for the next chapter of the pro-life movement goes beyond saving babies to transforming lives. His journey began at Princeton, where he and his girlfriend (now his wife of over 40 years) chose life in the face of an unplanned pregnancy. That decision set him on a 40-year path of advocacy and ministry.

Since joining Care Net in 2012, Roland has emphasized the deeper issues fueling abortion: the collapse of marriage, fatherlessness, and a lack of spiritual guidance. His call is clear—if we are truly pro-life, we must also be pro-abundant life, offering hope, support, and discipleship to mothers, fathers, and families in need.

If you're wondering how to make a lasting impact in this post-Roe era, this message is for you. Join us for this special podcast.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. 

In 1988, President Ronald Reagan amended the law and signed it, designating the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer.

This year, the theme is POUR OUT TO THE GOD OF HOPE AND BE FILLED.

It’s based on Romans 15:13: "Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." 

Christian Engaged President Bunni Pounds leads a powerful time of prayer to mark the occasion, joined by Family Policy Alliance Senior Vice President Amanda Banks and Christians Engaged Vice President Ben Quine. Join us for this special time of prayer.

Colorado HB 1312, a bill that would redefine "coercive control" in child custody cases to include actions such as "deadnaming" and "misgendering," recently passed the House and is headed to the state's Senate.

This bill could mean that parents who refer to their child by their biological sex or birth name could be deemed abusive, potentially leading to loss of custody.

Thousands of people across Colorado have responded to stop this horrific bill. On April 17, more than 3,500 Christians joined the Colorado State Capitol to pray and urge lawmakers to stop HB 1312. But the battle is far from over!

In this episode, we are joined by Chris Goble, pastor of Ridgeline Community Church in Colorado, who has been a leader in the Fight1312 movement. We discuss the details of this concerning bill and what you can do to help stop it. Join us for this special podcast.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts have been a major concern for America’s colleges. Many of us want to do something about it, but aren’t sure how.

Dr. Stephen Porter, a Professor of Higher Education at North Carolina State University, has been on the frontlines of this DEI battle. After the university targeted him for referring to an academic conference on his blog as a “woke joke,” he filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the university but ultimately lost the case on appeal to the Supreme Court.

However, that wasn’t the end of the battle. Porter recently had the opportunity to celebrate the school’s decision to ditch its DEI efforts. Dr. Porter recently addressed the change during a Fox News interview and joins us today to share more about the latest in this ongoing effort. Join us for this special podcast.

We’re excited to celebrate pro-family policy wins recently, including with our friends in Montana. Governor Greg Gianforte recently signed two bills into law aimed at safeguarding the privacy, safety, and athletic opportunities of women and girls.

The first, HB 121, ensures that women’s spaces—including restrooms, changing areas, sleeping quarters, and other private facilities—are reserved exclusively for women. The law applies to public schools, correctional facilities, and other public buildings.

The second bill, HB 300, reinforces protections for female athletes at every level, ensuring they are not required to compete against males or share private spaces with them on sports teams.

To address these victories, we are joined today by Montana Family Foundation President Jeff Laszloffy. He has been a strong advocate for these new laws and has been quoted extensively in the media as an advocate for pro-family values in Montana and nationwide.
