Christmas Eve arrives with a hard question: what happens when a culture calls death “dignity,” shrugs at violence as inevitable, and rewrites mercy into the release of repeat offenders, then asks the church to clean up what ideology broke.   The answer is not despair. Hope does not collapse, and truth does not negotiate.   With humor cutting through the fog and a sharp reminder that laughter can keep a nation from surrendering its spine, the conversation turns to Pastor Ken Todd of Harvest Bible Church and the meaning of freedom that is more than politics.   He lays it out plainly: faith is not a slogan, Scripture is not a buffet, and your walk always speaks louder than your talk.   He tells stories from overseas where families hike for filthy water at sunrise, and why his mission builds wells in Ivory Coast so children can live and churches can serve without charging a dime.   Callers press on fear, neighborly love, and the slow creep of collectivism. The thread holds: darkness does not win by being loud; it wins when people go silent. Light still works. Hope still confronts lies.   Accountability still protects the innocent. God, country, family—be a leader, and be a voice for liberty.
