Today I’m sounding the alarm. Truth is under assault, emotions are ruling the moment, and believers are getting swept into chaos because we’ve forgotten how to discern. From social-media outrage to AI-driven confusion, we are in a battle for wisdom — and the stakes are high.
Join me as we dig into what biblical discernment really is, why it matters right now more than ever, and how we can train our hearts and minds to cling to truth in a world addicted to lies. This is a wake-up call for the church… lean in.

Today I’m talking straight from my heart about the growing fracture inside the conservative movement—and why a house divided against itself cannot stand. We’ll bring it all back to the Word of God as I answer your Fan Mail Friday questions: finding solid Christian candidates, raising young adults who still live at home, walking with an unbelieving spouse, homeschooling when you’re exhausted, worrying over kids who aren’t walking with the Lord, and even what marriage will look like in heaven. Grab your Bible, friend—this episode will call you back to unity, discernment, and the mission God’s given us in this crazy culture.

Today I’m talking with homeschool mom and Cedarville University’s Rachel Kimble about one of my favorite subjects: teaching our kids to think biblically in a world that’s lost its mind. We’ll talk Deuteronomy 6, everyday discipleship at home, and why your time—not the system’s—is your greatest tool for shaping worldview. We’ll also unpack when college still makes sense, how dual enrollment can help, and why discernment matters now more than ever.

Today my friend Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne from Living Waters joins me in the studio to talk about his powerful new book, Fight Like a Man. He shares his radical story—from gang life and near suicide to a life transformed by Christ—and we dive into what’s eroding the strength of men today, how to reclaim integrity, and why this cultural moment demands courage. We also talk about how wives can support their husbands with truth and grace. This is a bold, hope-filled conversation you won’t want to miss.

Today we’re diving deep into one of the toughest challenges Christians are facing right now—how to live faithfully in a culture that’s openly hostile to biblical truth. My friend Natasha Crain joins me to talk about her powerful new book, When Culture Hates You, and how we can stay grounded, gracious, and bold in our witness even when the world pushes back. We’ll talk about why our faith has to shape our politics (not the other way around), why knowing your Bible is key to standing firm, and how to keep your heart soft when the battle gets exhausting. If you’re feeling weary or wondering if it’s even worth it to keep speaking truth—this episode will remind you that it absolutely is.

Today we’re talking about your God-given right to raise, educate, and disciple your children without government interference. New Jersey is pushing two bills—A5825 and A5796—that would tighten control over homeschoolers, while UNESCO and the UN advance “global citizenship” and standardized education worldwide.

My friend Mike Farris—founder of HSLDA and a longtime defender of homeschool freedom—joins me to explain what these proposals actually do, why “curriculum alignment” is so dangerous, how treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child come into play, and why what happens in New Jersey won’t stay there.

If you homeschool—or just care about parental rights and liberty—this episode is your call to stay informed, stay engaged, and stay off the bench.

Post-election, I step back from the noise to ask where America is headed—and why cities are embracing leaders and policies at odds with our Judeo-Christian roots. We’ll unpack the cultural and spiritual fallout of rising socialism and anti-Semitism, and what shifts in places like New York and Dearborn mean for the rest of the country. Then author Becca Keating shares what life under Sharia law looked like in the Middle East—and why Americans must grasp the worldview behind it. This is a call for believers to pray, vote, defend what’s good, and engage locally with courage.

Today I’m joined by my friend Abby from M is for Mama for an honest, hope-filled talk about motherhood, calling, and staying grounded in God’s design for women.

Abby shares wisdom from her new book You Bet Your Stretch Marks—a reminder that the hard work of mothering is sacred, eternal work. Whether you’re in the toddler trenches or raising teens, this episode will encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus and your heart anchored at home.

These so-called “off-year” elections shape far more than we realize—our schools, taxes, safety, and freedoms are decided at the local level. In this episode, I’m joined by Washington State GOP Chair Rep. Jim Walsh and Camas City Councilwoman Leslie Llewellyn to talk about why turnout is so low, how we can change it, and what happens when people of faith engage. If you’ve ever wondered whether your vote really counts, this conversation will leave you ready to make a difference.
