“If we don’t understand the tactics of the enemy, it’s very difficult to defeat them.” Kirk Cameron joins me to discuss the current state of the nation and the role of Christians in shaping culture. We are desperate for a spiritual revival, and Kirk and I are talking about the impact of public education on the values of the younger generation and the need to teach children biblical principles. He’s sharing about the See You at the Library and how you can be involved in a spiritual revival in America.

A handful of states still retain antiquated laws from the 1980s and 90s, but most states have removed unnecessary legal barriers with the recognition that homeschooling works. But pendulums swing, and in America today, the pendulum frequently swings in the wrong direction. Opponents of homeschool freedom are working in new and more coordinated ways to make homeschooling harder and less accessible to parents. 

Legislative action to roll back homeschool freedom is being considered in three states in part because of negative portrayals of homeschooling in the press. My guest today is Attorney James (Jim) Mason. He is the president of the Homeschool Legal Defense Association. We're going to cover the history of homeschooling and the role that the Homeschool Legal Defense Association has been playing for over 40 years in securing and maintaining homeschool freedom. And as always, what you can do to help secure your freedom to homeschool in America in the coming years.

In August of 2019, the New York Times inaugurated the 1619 Project. Their goal was to offer a new origin story of the American Republic. They argued that 1776 is not the origin of America as we know it, but rather, 1619, the year the first slaves were brought to American shores, as our true origin. They, of course, sought to link every supposed evil and ill of the 21st century with the racist heritage of 1619, America's “real” birthday. 

If you want to understand what ideas and individuals brought us third trimester abortions, infanticide, euthanasia, pornographic quote, sex ed, critical race theory, transgenderism, transitioning of children, drag queen story hours and arresting pro-life sidewalk counselors, you've got to go back not to 1619, but to 1916, a year that my guest today says represents nothing less than civilization's pivot point. Seth Gruber is the founder of the White Rose Resistance and he's here today to talk about his new book and film, 1916. You guys buckle up. This was a fantastic conversation. You're gonna be encouraged.

NOTE: This may be a difficult conversation for children, so I recommend listening ahead of time.

Our progressive culture is trying to redefine females and the role we play in society lying to our girls and young women. It is imperative that we have the courage to stand up to the people pushing these lies and defend what we know is right. Lisa Bevere joins me today to discuss what she’s doing to lead Christians in this cultural conversation, and I know you’ll be encouraged.
