In Rita’s last episode of the year, she’s joined by her good friend and previous cohost, Cecily Dickey!
If you’re a new listener, Cecily prayerfully left the podcast in September of this year. She is now the Director of Women’s Ministry with Central Community Church, fulfilling her calling locally.
In a time where things online feel like they’re falling apart and people have a tendency to seek conformity, the hope is we’ll seek to be who God intended us to be. That we can pursue truth in this world while staying rooted in God’s truth.
Do not conform yourselves to this age but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, so that you may judge what is God’s will, what is good, pleasing and perfect.
- Romans 12:2
Enjoy this conversation, not only for the encouragement Rita and Cecily provide in pointing people to the truth in the gospel and the world but the much needed laughter between friends.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless!

In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk there was a feeling of being unified but in the months that followed that camaraderie shifted back to confusion as many of us were left with questions that couldn’t/have yet to be answered.
In today’s episode, Rita is discussing some current events: Candace Owen’s, Communism, Chaos and Conspiracy, and the Hep B Vaccine.
Without a firm spiritual foundation, these topics and the questions surrounding them can feel confusing, frustrating, and stressful. You may feel as if you’re being tossed by the waves - Ephesians 4:14.
As Christians it can be difficult to find a middle ground in questioning everything and nothing and knowing what to believe.
The need for discernment has never been greater but God has given us the gift of the Bible to be our guide.
A lot of our questions may forever go unanswered and that doesn’t mean we need to give up the pursuit for truth, justice, and freedom but our ultimate goal should always be to seek God’s will and walk the narrow path.

Today’s guest is an Infectious Disease Scientist. She has a Bachelors of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology and a Masters in Infectious Disease and Microbiology. Even with all of these titles, Ellie came to the realization that she wasn’t educated but indoctrinated.
Ellie’s combined personal and pharmaceutical experience - as well as her education and hands on research - has given her the ability to take complex scientific topics and break them down for the average person!
Rita and Ellie will be discussing abortion and fetal and embryonic cell lines in vaccines; how those are obtained, used and some very valid concerns with the process and potential harmful outcomes in receiving these vaccines.
Once again, Rita stresses the importance of seeking truth without making an idol out of that pursuit. Be curious but humble enough to admit when we may not have the answers.

Fetal and embryonic cell lines mentioned.
To view them you type in 'human fetal cell lines' or 'embryonic fetal cell lines'. If it starts with the same numbers or letters, that indicates the original cell line has been combined with things or has certain genes deleted.
An example are fetal cell lines starting with 293 were all derived originally from HEK293. However, CCC-ESF-1, CCC-HEK-1, CCC-HEL-1, CCC-HPF-1, CCC-HSF-1 are all from one fetus, but different parts. Whereas, HUES36, HUES37, HUES38, HUES39 are 4 separate embryonic cell lines that are genetic siblings.

“You have a superpower as a woman and it’s empowering a man to become the best possible version of himself.”
As mothers, we have this same power when it comes to our homes and our children.
Tilly Dillehay shares how women and the struggle, need for, and importance of strengthening our spiritual maturity is foundational in maintaining a Christian home.
In her book, My Dear Hemlock - written in a similar style to C.S. Lewis - Tilly shares a series of letters that speak to how the early seeds of sin lead to life-altering sin through phone use, mothering, empathy, and even marriage.
There’s a difference between striving for a good life and living a Christian life. Being a Christian woman begins with acknowledging that you are a sinner and God has given you new life. That perspective gives you a freedom that changes what you cling to and what you release in this world.
This conversation with Tilly is so encouraging and her book is a must for women in all seasons of life!

Have you felt a growing tension/division within the conservative movement? Has it been difficult to find a person/source that you actually agree with?
A growing confusion about the many things going on in the world, combined with a lack of moral direction is taking the focus off where we should really be headed as a people and country.
Rita discusses both the opposition and support for Nick Fuentes, a self-proclaimed Christian conservative who has recently been drawing attention for his - sometimes very vulgar - political and religious commentary. She’ll touch on America First, Christian Nationalism, Diversity, and what’s missing - a common moral thread.
For those of us who claim to be Christians, how we speak and conduct ourselves matters. The goal is to help you sort through the things going on in the world in a way that equips you to go out and confidently have these conversations - to do all for the glory of God.

50 million children attend public schools - funded by your tax dollars - and a growing number of those schools are implementing School Based Health Centers (SBHCs).
Rhyen Staley, Director of Research for Defending Education, joins Rita to discuss SBHCs and how this program - without safeguards - has lead to yet another opportunity for the government to infringe on parental rights.
They’ll touch on the role of unions, the Freedom of Information Act, the age of consent, and breaking the cycle of indoctrination.
Children having access to care that they might not otherwise have sounds really good, in theory, but when you dig a little deeper is this just another opportunity for something (the internet, government, school…) other than parents, authority over your child?

As Boom Clap moves forward into the next chapter with Rita solely at the helm, what’s to come? A few minutes are spend reorienting and reviewing the purpose this podcast serves.
One thing that you’ll likely see more of is a continuation of health and healthcare related conversations. Rita dips her toes into this by outlining the conversation that should be happening when it comes to vaccines. Autism isn’t the only problem.
Do you feel like you are alone on an island when it comes to watching the fall out from the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation? Do you have questions? Do you want those questions answered but find yourself shying away from the drama filled, click bait style reporting? If so, you aren’t alone.
Should it look different when Christians seek justice? Let’s discuss.

Rita touches on the fallout from the White House press conference on the possible link between Tylenol and autism. This is a conversation we should be celebrating but instead receiving backlash and creating odd dividing lines.
In the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, there’s been a surge of people with the desire to be bolder in sharing their faith coupled with a desire to have better dialogue and conversations. Rita takes you through a 4 part plan to help equip yourselves to take action by building a foundation.
It’s one thing to say you’re going to do something but what is your plan to accomplish that desired goal? Do you have a solid foundation of faith or are you relying on someone else to interpret what is good and true? Do you know history well enough to defend you ideas in conversation around policy?
Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

Today is Rita’s first episode as sole host and she welcomes her friends Echo (@echounafraid on Instagram) and Heather Knapp (@caroots_t boots on Instagram).
We’re living in a time where we’re consuming information in 15 second clips…and those 15 second clips often times lack context.
Sound bites at a time where critical thinking, discernment, and dialogue is at an all time low. Shutting down conversation (and the comments section) is a missed opportunity to listen and learn.
We’re forming our world view with less information and in less time than ever.
Rita, Echo, and Heather also discuss Hate Speech. What is it? Who gets to define it?
In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, many have felt compelled to be bold in sharing their faith. In speaking up.
God warns us that ‘you will be hated by everyone for my names sake’ - Matthew 10:22-23
You may be hated for sharing His teachings and His teachings may be interpreted as hate.
Will this be your turning point?
"If you believe in something, you need to have the courage to fight for those ideas, not run away from them or try and silence them." - Charlie Kirk

After 4.5 years podcasting together Cecily has prayerfully made the decision to step away from her mic. Join us for this final episode together as Cecily gives her farewell and Rita prepares to pick up where they leave off and take Boom Clap into its next era.
We talk about following God’s call, the hardship and grief that comes with letting go and peace that follows the struggle when we allow our lives to unfold as God wills. We play and read your messages and answer a few questions you sent in including testimony of a time we felt that God clearly answered a prayer for each of us.
** Immediately prior to recording this episode we learned Charlie Kirk had been shot but lacked any clear details. Mid-episode we learned he passed away and just kept recording through it. We are both heartbroken for his family and praying over them. Charlie was not ashamed of The Gospel and if there is one thing that we both hope to have consistently communicated through this podcast - it’s that Jesus is our reason and we are each open to share that message more deeply with any of you!**
————
Cecily, you are a wonderful friend. I’m so thankful God put you in my life… even given all the physical miles between us. You have grown and challenged me in areas I needed growth and challenge. Thank you for the last 4.5 years and being the nudge to break us into the podcasting world!
-Rita

In the mean time, send any questions or comments through our personal or Boom Clap Instagram accounts. We’d also love if you could send those questions or comments via voice message!
The remainder of the episode is split between two of our friends and your favorites: Allie Lundeen and Shanda Fulbright.
We speak with Allie about homeschooling and how her confidence and clarity in that has only increased with each passing year! Allie is a natural at sharing her heart behind the decisions their family makes and unintentionally rocking the boat.
Shanda is back for the third time and her message is as consistent as the first time we spoke with her. How can Christians stay true to biblical truth in an ever-changing world?

Send all your documentary recommendations, Rita is finally able to stream!!
This week we’re talking about Shiny Happy People. Have you seen it?
Documentaries - production and consumption - have increased exponentially over the past decade as streaming abilities and options have increased.
There are some amazing documentaries being made - our friend, Keely Covello of America Unwon, has done just that. Documentaries have the ability to be beautiful, fair, and honest but can also be used to form public opinion and reshape perception - good or bad, right or wrong.
Shiny Happy People may begin in sharing a very tragic story, one that involves abuse…but is that the message they’re actually trying to send?
Even documentaries need to be watched with a critical eye.

Cecily and Rita are finally able to come together in this week’s episode to discuss some big moves in vaccine transparency, homeschool plans for the coming school year, and more thoughts on A.I.
In the last few weeks there have been some really exciting and promising steps in shedding light on the topic of vaccines.
On August 1, 2025 the HHS (Health and Human Services) announced that they would be pulling back on the financial incentives tied to having healthcare workers choose to be vaccinated.
In addition to that, HR4668 was recently proposed. This bill would amend the Public Health Service Act to end the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers.
Heading into the 2025/26 homeschool year, we’re talking about what we’re sticking with and what new curriculum we’re giving a try!
And we end the episode touching on a subject we never tire of…A.I. Similarly to vaccines, there are people with financial incentive to see A.I. continue to grow but we’ll share why we’re not worried about a ‘terminator future’.

Organ donation is always a universal good... right? This conversation is the type that has the potential to completely challenge previously held beliefs. RFK issued a press release on July 21, 2025 showing how troubled the process of organ donation is. They found a large number of cases where the procurement process began even with neurological “signs of life.” This has us revisiting a very important conversation and asking some necessary questions.
Are brain-dead patients TRULY brain dead? Are the organs being harvested from someone who REALLY has no life left in them? Heidi Klessig, MD, tells us her own story and how she came to have her own beliefs challenged, and explains why she is now dedicated to the informed consent of all registered organ donors, those considering donating their organs, their families, and the recipients of transplanted organs. The question we all really need to ask is... When is somebody truly dead?

There’s never been a time before that we’ve had the ability to access this much information. Day or night, even continents away, at the tips of our fingers. Some statistics even showing that more than 54% of people are getting their news from social media and podcasts.
In today’s episode we discuss consumption, discernment, and our role in sharing information here.
There is always a tight rope to be walked when it comes to social media and the constant barrage of information. How much should we know and is there really all that much that we can do with any of it?

What should you prioritize in your child’s education? The answer may surprise you!
We dive in with Andrew Pudewa the founder of IEW to discuss the role of reading, writing and grammar in this current AI age. Where are our efforts best placed with such a rapidly changing landscape? We also discuss school funding as the fallback excuse for poor academic achievement, but is it really the problem? Andrew closes by giving us a rundown of what he would prioritize if he were raising kids in 2025.

Beauty, wind turbines, data centers, climate change, and A.I.?!
I’m sure it doesn’t seem like any of those things could possibly be related but we believe it’s all connected.
In today’s episode we sit down with a couple of things in mind to discuss and see where the conversation takes us. These conversations rarely end with us able to give you an answer but the questions are so important.
Are you willing to be left behind?
What is the vision you have for your life?
Do you want to be a brick layer or cathedral builder?
When the answers to our questions are money or comfort/ease…
A.I. is here and this is something we’ve been talking about for a while. Below we’ve linked past episodes where we’ve touched on artificial intelligence, transhumanism, Davos, digital ID, and more.

Raising children and the family dynamic, in general, looks different than it used to. Heading to college put physical distance between parents and children even after college.
Today we continue the discussion surrounding ‘the village’. Who is it? What is it? Where has it gone?
Has the increase in technology and time spent on social media started to replace more of our in-person relationships?
The older generation has purpose and wisdom but do they feel free to share?
At the very end we sprinkle in a couple current events, including: Joe Bidens cognitive decline (yes, we can acknowledge it now). Some thoughts on Trump’s pick for Surgeon General, Casey Means. And we’ll end with Rita’s reminder to be watching the topics of psychedelics and AI!

*This episode would be worth watching on YouTube for the especially cute little 2yo who makes an appearance at the very beginning*
Today’s episode was so much fun! You’ll get to know us as mothers a little bit better as we sit down with all the kids for a little Q&A.
You’ll hear from Rita’s 3 children (2 girls and a little boy), 14yo, 11yo, and 2yo. & Cecily’s 3 children (2 boys and a girl), 13yo, 11yo, and 9yo.
They share their favorite books and series, school subjects and curriculum, how they feel about being homeschooled, their favorite things about mom and dad and the things they do that drive mom and dad crazy! We’ll touch on Bigfoot, favorite weapons, housing prices, and so much more!
Come for Weston’s hilarious quips and stay to hear the debate about how many times per day/week we should be brushing our teeth!
