Truth be Told with Mike & Kelly Johnson

We're delighted to relay some breaking and very encouraging news on this early Friday morning! Yesterday (June 29), the Supreme Court issued two landmark opinions that will have a significant effect on American society and the survival of our constitional rights. Mike summarizes here why the decisions to strike down affirmative action programs and reinforce the liberty of religious persons in the workplace can help restore sanity and common sense in our nation. (Even more landmark Supreme Court opinions are expected later today...)

ALSO, Mike presents in this episode his long-awaited announcement about the ALLIANCE FOR RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP (ARC)--a new, historic, international movement of top conservative thought leaders from around the globe who are uniting to develop a vision and strategy to oppose the rise of radical Leftist ideologies and big government tyranny, and defend the moral, cultural, and spiritual foundations that ensure human flourishing.

You don't want to miss this important epsiode.

As truth is now openly challenged and a deluge of huge cultural issues are hitting close to home for every American, it's becoming more important than ever for all people of good conscience, and certainly Christians, to be able to think through the issues and respond appropriately. In this episode, Mike and Kelly discuss the impact of the explosive documentary, "What is a Woman?," how conservatives and traditionalists are finally awakening from their slumber and fighting back, and what the Bible says about our specific approach to the culture wars. They also discuss the new initiative to recognize June as "Fidelity Month," to help restore Americans' belief in the importance of values like patriotism, religion, family, and community.

In today's House Judiciary Committee markup of "The Border Security and Enforcement Act of 2023" (H.R. 2640)--a bill Mike co-authored--the Democrat opponents of the bill claimed he and his Republican colleagues are "anti-Christian" and "immoral" for trying to fix the profound humanitarian, national security, and economic catastrophe that the Biden Administration's policies have unleashed on our country. Are the Democrats correct?

We are compelled to share again here the 4th epsiode of our show (originally aired on April 5, 2022), which explains exactly why all people of faith should support strong border security--and the simple way to correct the Left's claim that such a position is inconsistent with our Biblical mandates.

The moment that Title 42 expires on May 11, 2023, America's strongest remaining tool to deter in any way the flow of illegal aliens will be gone, and the unmitigated disaster at our border will become exponentially worse. Mike and Kelly present here what every freedom-loving American urgently needs to know RIGHT NOW to thoughtfully address this topic.

Mr. Johnson, who represents Louisiana, pointed out that he, not Mr. Cicilline, is an evangelical Christian. And he said Leviticus' charge is to individuals, not to the government. "You have to see to whom the order is given. That order is not given to civil authorities and the government. That order is given to individuals," he said. "We do reach out to the sojourner, but it is not the job of the federal government to do it."

To celebrate our landmark 50th episode, we are sharing again one of the first and best shows in our archive. In our 3rd episode, recorded on March 30, 2022, Mike sat down with the influential English author and social critic, Os Guinness, D.Phil, to discuss the unprecedented threats facing the West and the survival of ordered liberty. The fateful "civilizational moment" they described here more than a year ago is coming to full fruition right now—and it has never been more important for us to understand what's behind these extraordinary challenges and what we must do to overcome them and preserve freedom.

We want to thank everyone sincerely for the overwhelming encouragement and support that you've shown for our podcast and for contiunung to help us share it, and the TRUTH, with more and more people!
