What happens when good people decide it's easier to walk away than to stand and fight?

In this episode of Road to November, I'm joined by former Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan to talk about what happens when citizens disengage from local politics. Mike shares his firsthand experience leading through the chaos of Seattle's defund-the-police movement, the intimidation his family endured, and why he believes Christians must stop sitting on the sidelines and start engaging where it matters most.

We discuss the importance of local races, the danger of voter apathy, why your ballot is your voice, and how faith should shape our willingness to serve our communities. If you've been wondering whether one vote can really make a difference, this conversation is for you.

For too long we've been told that someone else is responsible for our health. But what if it's time to start asking better questions? Today I'm talking about the MAHA movement, why Christians should view health as an act of stewardship, and what I discovered after testing the water in my own home. Then I'm joined by Corey McIlveen from Sentry H2O to discuss what's really in our drinking water, what "safe" actually means, and practical steps you can take to make healthier choices for your family. Plus, I'll show you how to check your own local water quality report at ewg.org/tapwater and see what's really in your drinking water.

The smoke hanging over the Pacific Northwest is impossible to ignore, but what if the real story isn't just about the fires? Today I'm talking about stewardship, leadership, and why the decisions we make at the ballot box have real-world consequences. As Washington voters head to the polls and communities battle devastating wildfires, it's a timely reminder that elections matter and faithful stewardship begins long before a crisis. I'll also share an exciting update about my new book, Holding Fast in These Last Days.

What if the people teaching your children about sex never shared your values? Former comprehensive sex education instructor Monica Cline joins me to expose what she witnessed from inside the system, why parents are being pushed aside, and how we can reclaim God's design for marriage, family, and biblical sexuality. This is a challenging but hope-filled conversation every Christian parent needs to hear.

Most people have no idea what a county auditor does, but this office plays a critical role in protecting election integrity and maintaining public trust. In this episode of The Road to November, I sit down with Clark County Auditor candidate Eileen Quiring O'Brien to discuss why these often-overlooked local races matter, what the auditor is actually responsible for, and why Christians should be engaged long before November. If you care about honest elections and the future of your community, this conversation is for you.

What happens when Christians spend more time chasing hidden knowledge than pursuing biblical wisdom?

In this episode, I sit down with my son-in-law, Pastor Ryan Bates, to tackle one of the greatest challenges facing the Church today: discernment. From conspiracy theories and AI to confirmation bias and the lure of "secret knowledge," we discuss why so many believers are being pulled away from the clear truth of God's Word.

How do we recognize deception without becoming cynical? How do we pursue truth without sacrificing humility or unity? And in a world overflowing with information, how do we stay anchored in what God has already revealed?

If you've ever wrestled with these questions or know someone who has, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

If you grew up in a broken home, I want you to hear this: your past does not have to determine your future.

In this deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Kent Darcie to talk about the lasting impact divorce can have on children, even decades later. We discuss the fears, wounds, and patterns that so many people carry into adulthood and marriage, and why those patterns don't have to define the next generation.

If you've ever wondered whether you're destined to repeat your parents' mistakes, this episode is for you. God's grace is greater than your family history, and with His help, the cycle can end with you.

Are we spending more time listening to Christian voices than opening God's Word for ourselves? This week I'm answering your questions about biblical friendship, sharing the gospel without losing heart, raising children in a confused culture, letting go of fear as our kids grow up, and why no podcast or pastor can replace a personal relationship with Christ. If you've ever wondered whether you're growing spiritually or simply consuming more content, this conversation is for you.
