For a long time, we trusted our public libraries to be safe, neutral places for families and kids. But that’s just not true anymore. In this episode, I talk honestly about how taxpayer-funded libraries have shifted from simply offering books to actively promoting ideology—and why so many parents feel dismissed or even silenced when they raise concerns. I’ll share how we got here, why the American Library Association matters, and what everyday moms and dads can actually do about it—from showing up locally to building better alternatives that protect kids and respect families.

We’re living in a moment where a teenager with a phone can shape theology faster than a pastor with a Bible—and the result is confusion, compromise, and a “feel-good” faith that can’t save. In this eye-opening conversation, Mike Winger joins me to expose what’s really driving digital discipleship, why “almost right” theology spreads so fast, and what parents, pastors, and leaders can do right now to anchor the next generation in Scripture—before the algorithm does.

The church was never meant to sit this one out. Today, Dr. Corey Miller joins me for a bold conversation about immigration, ICE, and the growing courage crisis inside the church. We talk about how compassion has been confused with compromise, why law and order are not unbiblical, and what happens when Christians disengage from the cultural moment. This episode is a wake-up call to step back into the public square with clarity, conviction, and courage.

My son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, is in the studio with me today, and we’re talking about life-giving parenting—especially when it comes to raising boys in a culture that’s confused (and often hostile) toward masculinity. We discuss why children are a blessing, why the family is under attack, what the Bible actually teaches about discipline, and how to raise boys with courage, purpose, and a love for the Lord. I think you’re going to be encouraged.

Pastor Rich Blum joins me for an unfiltered conversation about what happens when cultural hostility no longer stays outside the church doors. We unpack the disruption of a Minnesota church service and why moments like that demand courage and real shepherding—not silence. From COVID and government overreach to education, freedom, and biblical authority, this episode is a clear call for pastors and believers to stop playing defense and start leading. This is no time to shrink back—it’s time for faithful leadership to rise.

The knives are out—and homeschool freedom is on the chopping block. In this episode, I expose the growing push by lawmakers to bring homeschooling under government control, with New Jersey leading the charge. I’m joined by Rose-Anne Uwague (Ro), a New Jersey homeschool mom and advocate on the front lines of this fight, to break down what these bills really mean and why every parent should be paying attention. This is a wake-up call for families who value parental rights and freedom.
