A major legal victory has been announced in Texas that impacts every family in America, and we’re excited to share the news! In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Covey, Director of Policy at Texas Values.

Jonathan and his team played a central role in securing a significant legal win when the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a federal injunction against Senate Bill 12. This is the Texas law designed to protect children from exposure to drag shows and “hyper sexualized performances.”

This ruling allows SB 12 to move forward, and it marks a meaningful step in the effort to safeguard children from inappropriate performances that have no place in front of kids. Jonathan has spent years working in the Texas Capitol and as a senior policy analyst in the state senate. His experience gives him a unique perspective on why this issue matters and what comes next in the broader fight to defend families.

In the episode, we walk through how the case unfolded, why the appeals court sided with Texas, and how this ruling addresses the First Amendment claims critics often raise. We also talk about how this victory could serve as a model for other states and the additional battles Texas Values is facing right now.

There is big news out of Nebraska’s pro-life movement—and we want you to hear the story directly from the people who helped make it happen.

In the latest episode of The SoCon Report, Family Policy Alliance CEO Craig DeRoche sits down with Nate Grasz, President of Nebraska Family Alliance, to talk about one of the most significant pro-life victories in recent years.

On November 6, 2025, Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed an executive order directing the state’s Department of Health and Human Services to end Medicaid contracts with any provider that performs abortions, including Planned Parenthood and its affiliates. This bold action cuts off taxpayer funding to abortion providers across Nebraska, advancing a true culture of life.

In this episode, Craig and Nate discuss:

• How Nebraska’s pro-life leaders turned a legal victory into lasting policy change
• What it took to build political and grassroots momentum for such a historic move
• How other states can follow Nebraska’s example
• And how you can help advance life-affirming change in your community

This inspiring conversation is a must-watch for everyone who believes in protecting life and ensuring taxpayer dollars never fund abortion.

Our nation’s heroes carry heavy burdens, and too many are carrying them alone. Veteran suicide is now the second leading cause of death for former military service members under 45. Families are hurting, and many are searching for hope that speaks to both their needs and their faith.

On this week’s episode of The SoCon Report, Family Policy Alliance CEO Craig DeRoche sits down with Mike Lynn, co-founder of Pray.com, to talk about a fresh approach that honors our veterans.

Pray.com is helping provide faith-based digital tools that come alongside the mental health services already offered through the Department of Veterans Affairs. Their goal is to help veterans find strength, peace, and encouragement rooted in faith.

Craig and Mike discuss how digital resources can support chaplains, reduce the stigma around seeking help, and offer real hope for military families who feel unseen.

If you care about our veterans, or you know someone who does, this is a conversation worth hearing. Watch the episode now, and please consider sharing it with a veteran or military family in your life.

In this week’s SoCon Report podcast, we are diving into one of the most important battlegrounds for families in America: local school boards. The decisions made by school board members determine how our children learn, how parents are included, and whether our communities protect the values we care about most.

Family Policy Alliance CEO Craig DeRoche is joined by Amanda Banks, Senior Vice President at Family Policy Alliance and the leader of our School Board Academy. Amanda is working with school board members across the nation to equip them with practical, pro-family tools. She and her team provide training in worldview, curriculum standards, dealing with cultural challenges like gender ideology, and handling issues with clarity and grace.

Her impact is already significant. Hundreds of school board members from more than 40 states have taken part in this training. And if you or someone you know serves on a school board, you will hear about brand-new training opportunities designed to help leaders stand firm for families in their communities.

This week’s episode answers key questions such as:

• Why the influence of school boards has grown so rapidly

• How our Academy is shaping leaders with confidence and biblical conviction

• How board members can communicate winsomely on controversial issues

• And much more!

This is the information pro-family families need right now.

What happened at the U.S. Supreme Court on October 7 could reshape the future of free speech, religious liberty, and counseling for children struggling with gender identity.

The case is Chiles v. Salazar, a direct challenge to Colorado’s law that bans licensed counselors from helping minors accept their biological sex, even when that’s what the child and family want. In other words, the state is trying to control what counselors are allowed to say.

Joseph Kohm, our Vice President of Public Policy and co-host of the podcast House to Home, joins Craig in our latest episode of The SoCon Report. Joseph was in Washington, D.C., during the oral arguments and witnessed the events unfold. In this episode, we break down:

• The shocking claims made by Colorado’s Solicitor General in defense of the law
• How Justice Samuel Alito compared the state’s argument to America’s dark history of eugenics, and
• What this case means for parents, counselors, churches, and your freedom to seek biblical guidance

This is more than a courtroom battle. It is about who has the right to speak truth and help hurting children: families or the government.

Watch the new episode now and share it with friends, pastors, and anyone who cares about protecting kids and preserving freedom. Thank you for standing with us as we defend faith, family, and freedom.

Arkansas Representative Ryan Rose, one of our Family Policy Foundation Statesmen Academy graduates, and his wife, Tiffany, never expected to face two rounds of cancer. But through chemotherapy, surgery, and remission, they discovered a calling to make sure no woman faces unnecessary barriers to breast cancer care.

Their journey led to Arkansas House Bill 1309, signed by Governor Sarah Sanders earlier this year, which removes cost barriers to mammograms and screenings for women across the state.

In this week’s SoCon Report podcast, Craig talks with Rep. Rose about how faith turned their family’s hardship into hope for others. You’ll be encouraged by their courage, their love, and their belief that God can bring purpose out of pain. They discuss:

• How the Roses’ personal battle with breast cancer became a mission to help others
• What Arkansas House Bill 1309 does to make early cancer detection more affordable
• How faith guided the Roses through uncertainty and inspired their public service
• Practical encouragement for families walking through a cancer diagnosis

If there has ever been a time to get involved in the faith issues shaping our culture, it’s now. That’s why we sat down with our friends at First Liberty Institute, Andrea Justus and Matt Krause, to talk about an initiative that is already making a real difference: Restoring Faith in America.

This movement is bringing prayer and public faith back into our communities, from student-led prayer in schools to moments of silence in government and religious liberty projects nationwide. In this episode, we explore how everyday believers can get involved, what legal tools are available to protect your rights, and the victories we’re already seeing.

If you believe faith is essential to America’s public life, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. We discuss how this movement will…

• Give Christians practical tools to defend their freedoms in their own communities.

• Help towns and cities that want to showcase our national motto, nativity displays, or Ten Commandments monuments.

• Inspire students, educators, and citizens to practice their faith openly and confidently.

• Offer training and resources so families and churches can stand strong together.

We believe the time has come to move beyond defense. Through this partnership, we are taking proactive steps to restore faith to its rightful place in America’s public square.
