Host Peter Vazquez and guest Brian Thomas Wetzel go straight at the crisis in America’s classrooms and the confusion in our culture, not to complain, but to point toward rebuilding.   Wetzel draws on years of creating K-12 curriculum and speaking with more than 160 teachers and administrators to expose a system that burns out good educators, shields bad behavior, and sidelines math, science, and reading under layers of ideology and red tape.   His conclusion is unapologetic: public education must be stripped back to first principles and rebuilt around truth, order, and excellence.   From there, the conversation turns to Wetzel’s book, A Path to Faith Through Science and Common Sense. Peter and Brian confront the claim that “science has made God unnecessary,” and instead highlight scientists and former atheists who followed the evidence in DNA, the fine tuning of the universe, and the mystery of consciousness and came to see the fingerprints of a Designer.   They explore near-death experiences, serious research at the University of Virginia, and why so many people quietly testify to realities that materialism cannot contain.   Woven through the discussion are International Men’s Day, the vital role of men and fathers, rising youth violence and depression, and data showing that people of faith report higher levels of happiness.   The result is a direct, hope-filled challenge to choose design over chaos, responsibility over victimhood, and a faith that welcomes honest questions instead of running from them.
