  • She Criticized Her Local Government. Then They Came After Her Farm
    On this episode of Our American Stories, when Erica Brewer of Eagle, Wisconsin, spoke out in defense of a neighbor she believed was being treated unfairly by local officials, she never expected the town's attention to turn toward her own family. Soon, inspectors were showing up at their property, citing everything from tall grass and flower boxes to their small roadside farm stand, while fines and fees threatened to climb beyond $20,000.

    For our Rule of Law series, Erica and Institute for Justice attorney Kirby West share the story of her fight against the Town of Eagle, and the First Amendment battle over whether local government can punish a citizen for speaking out.

  • The Incredible Story of Harvey Wallbanger, the Racing Buffalo
    On this episode of Our American Stories, have you ever imagined a buffalo running on a racetrack against thoroughbred horses? In the 1960s, Harvey Wallbanger did exactly that. This larger-than-life buffalo stunned crowds as he thundered past racehorses, turning a novelty act into an unforgettable chapter of racing history.

    Francie M. Berg of Buffalo Grande shares the unlikely but true story of how one buffalo captured America's attention and proved just how wild the frontier spirit could still be.

  • Texas Wanted Him to Spend 750 Hours Learning the Wrong Job
    On this episode of Our American Stories, when Ash Patel opened his eyebrow threading business in Texas, he followed the law as it existed. Then state regulators decided eyebrow threading counted as cosmetology and demanded that his experienced employees spend up to 750 hours in beauty school learning techniques they would never use, at a cost of thousands of dollars, before they could return to the jobs they had already mastered.

    For our Rule of Law series, Institute for Justice attorney Wesley Hottot tells the remarkable story behind Patel v. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the six-year legal battle that reached the Texas Supreme Court and became a landmark victory for economic liberty and the constitutional right to earn a living.

  • My Dad Died Saving a Stranger, but He Never Stopped Saving Lives
    On this episode of Our American Stories, ten days after Caleb Bailey was born, his father, Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Joseph Dupee, was killed in the line of duty while trying to rescue one of his own firefighters during a warehouse fire in California. His death left behind a young widow and two small sons, and seemed to mark the beginning of a lifetime of heartbreak.

    Instead, it became the beginning of an extraordinary story of redemption. Caleb shares how his father's sacrifice transformed his uncle's life, how another firefighter stepped in to become the father he never had, and why, more than two decades later, his family remembers that tragedy not for what was lost, but for everything God built from it Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)Support the show: https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • SNAIL MAIL: Week 1
    The days of receiving a hand-written letter in the mail are almost gone forever. It seems like a lost art form. If someone were to take the time to hand write a letter, it must be something special and important. This week, we'll start looking at the letters Jesus wrote and learn that a church can look good on paper, but still be missing something important. Don't miss the kick-off!

  • Rolling Stones(Easter Sunday)
    The most pivotal moment in all of history is the moment when the stone at Jesus' tomb was rolled away - not by men, but by God himself - prpoving that Jesus was who He said He was. We all carry stones that are too big for us to handle. But that single rolled stone at the tomb means that Jesus is already rolling our stones away for us. Join us as we celebrate the Risen Jesus!

  • TWENTY-THREE: My Strength
    This week, the mood of Psalm 23 takes a turn in a different direction. It can seem bad at first, but if we allow its message to penetrate our hearts, it actually can bring us great comfort. But there's something we tend to miss that ties it all together, and this week, we'll discover how we can have hope, even in the darkest valley.

  • TWENTY-THREE: My Guide
    Would it surprise you to know that NOTHING in this life is really about us? We love the recognition, the glory, and the 15 minutes of fame, but it's really not supposed to be that way. We were designed for something greater than patting ourselves on the back. In order to get back to the place we're supposed to be, we have to lean on the one who can guide us along the path. If you want to grow in your walk with Jesus, then this week is one you won't want to miss.
