If spiritual fireworks don’t change the neighborhood by Monday, what are we missing? We take a hard look at a century of American revivals that stirred the heart but barely nudged the culture, and then we trace a different path: how revivals become awakenings when believers are discipled and Scripture is applied to daily life. Not just belief, but apprenticeship. Not just emotion, but formation that shapes families, work, and public decisions. We dig into the Great Commission’s overlooked co...

From Revivals To Public Policy: When Faith Shapes Culture

If spiritual fireworks don’t change the neighborhood by Monday, what are we missing?

How Spiritual Awakenings Can Shape Public Life

A billion people watched a memorial defined by bold forgiveness, and something shifted. Church attendance spiked, Bible sales soared, and campus arenas from Ohio State to Florida State filled with students lining up for baptism. We take that momentum seriously and ask the harder question history demands: when hearts change, do cultures follow? We walk through the evidence: record Easter services, mass beach baptisms, and stadium crusades drawing thousands. Then we hold it against the long ar...

From Minority Voice To Lasting Change In California Schools

Change doesn’t arrive with a hashtag; it arrives with a name on a ballot, a calm voice at a microphone, and a chair at the school board table. We sit down with Joe Messina—who spent twenty-four years in the trenches of a California district—to unpack how a lone dissenting vote became a durable majority that actually moves policy. From pulling back the curtain on graphic curriculum to establishing clear flag policies and defending parental notification, Joe shows how local courage scales when ...

Seeds To Laws: Turning Revival Into Change

Stadium altar calls, campus baptisms, and a surge in Bible sales are stealing headlines for all the right reasons—but the real story is what comes next. We dive into the data pointing to a national spiritual renewal and challenge ourselves to aim higher than momentary inspiration, asking how to turn revival into a durable great awakening through deliberate discipleship and principled policy. We share the energy and outcomes from the Pro Family Legislators Conference, where more than 400 lawm...

From Nigeria’s CPC Status To Campus Revivals And A Sealed Border

Headlines have trained us to expect the worst. Today we chase what’s actually moving the needle: international pressure for religious freedom, a youth movement catching fire on campuses, a surprising recalibration in the climate debate, and a clear turn in border enforcement that’s reshaping incentives on the ground. We start with Nigeria’s designation as a Country of Particular Concern by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, led by former Congresswoman Vicki Hartzler. Tha...

America’s Interest, Nigeria, And The 17th Amendment

When should America step in abroad—and when should we hold the line? We open with Nigeria and the persecution of Christians, unpacking the hard tradeoffs between humanitarian outrage and constitutional guardrails. We weigh the tools that can move regimes without war—credible threats, sanctions, aid leverage, quiet diplomacy—and the times when defending American lives, ships, and commerce must take priority. Using the Barbary pirates and the French Quasi-War as guides, we lay out a practical t...

Honoring Service, Understanding Veterans Day

A world war ended with silence at the eleventh hour. From that moment, the United States began a long journey from Armistice Day to Veterans Day—a shift from marking a ceasefire to honoring every American who wore the uniform. We explore how that change happened, why it matters, and what it asks of us today as citizens navigating policy, budgets, and public life. We open with the history: proclamations from Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge, Congress formalizing Armistice Day, and Dwight Ei...

Shutdown Ends, What Changes Now

Headlines say the shutdown is over; the real story is where the fight moves next. We open with how the Senate finally broke the stalemate—motion to proceed, cloture math, and why debate time became a bargaining chip—and then trace the ripple effects into your wallet, your health care, and the federal workforce. Eight Democrats crossed the aisle to end the longest funding lapse on record, and that crossover set up a December carveout to debate the Affordable Care Act on its own. We walk throu...

Young Priests, Clear Convictions

A generation raised on shifting standards is reaching for something solid. We sit down with Father Frank Pavone to explore why younger Catholic priests are embracing clear, biblical convictions on life and identity—and how that clarity is drawing Gen Z, especially young men, back into the Church. This isn’t a political pivot; it’s a move toward coherence in a time of confusion, where objective moral truth replaces the fog of moral relativism. We trace the cultural and spiritual forces shapin...

Passports, Polls, And Pews

Headlines hint at chaos, but the signals underneath tell a different story. We connect three surprising trends that point to a quiet realignment: a 6-3 Supreme Court decision that reaffirms biological sex on passports as a verifiable, security-critical fact; polling that shows a growing share of Americans view Democrats as too liberal while Republicans are seen as slightly less conservative; and new Barna research revealing men—especially Gen Z—are returning to church in significant numbers. ...

Majority Rules Or Senate Roadblocks

Ever wonder how 60 votes can stop 51 from passing a bill? We pull back the curtain on the modern filibuster to show how Senate procedure—not the Constitution—decides whether a majority can actually govern. We trace the shift from the old, talk‑until‑you‑drop tactic to today’s cloture threshold and explain when a simple majority can change the rules, when it can’t, and how the nuclear option carved out exceptions for nominations and budget matters. It’s a candid look at principle versus pruden...

Faith, Votes, And The Pulpit

The headlines from Virginia and New Jersey aren’t the whole story. What’s happening inside America’s churches is shaping the way people think, vote, and live far more than a single election night. We sit down with David Closson of Family Research Council to unpack new nationwide research on regular churchgoers—folks in the pews weekly—and the picture is both sobering and hopeful. On the hopeful side, the data show an unmistakable hunger for worldview training. Large majorities want clear, Bi...

Digital ID Crossroads

A simple promise—“digital makes life easier”—can mask a complicated reality. We dive into the fast-unfolding world of digital ID and how it’s being stitched together with payments, health credentials, and online access under the banner of “digital public infrastructure.” With Alex Newman, we examine concrete examples from Canada’s account freezes to China’s social credit system and Europe’s emerging digital wallet to understand what happens when identity, money, and movement live behind the s...

Why Politics Protects The Gospel And How Mentors Shape Messengers

A lot of voices are loud right now. Few are clear. We invited Frank Turek to help us cut through the noise with a steady, evidence-based approach to faith that can stand up in a college auditorium or a family living room. Frank shares how mentoring sharpened Charlie’s gospel focus, why campus conversations are shifting from gotcha questions to genuine interest, and how a tragic moment sparked a surprising surge in Bible reading and church attendance. We unpack the backbone of Frank’s method:...

A Quiet Turn Toward Faith And Law Finds Momentum In Courts, Campuses, And Big Tech

Headlines can make it feel like everything’s slipping, but look closer and you’ll spot the quiet course corrections reshaping daily life. We walk through a set of concrete wins—each from a different corner of culture—that point to a broader turn toward sanity, safety, and conscience. In Texas, a unanimous ruling clarifies that judges are not forced to violate religious convictions, a small-town question that now sets a statewide standard. In Silicon Valley, smart shareholder engagement nudges...

Biblical Covenants, Modern Allies, Clear Stakes

A tough listener question pushed us to the heart of a growing divide: should Christians support Israel when many Jews don’t confess Christ and when Israel’s government, like any government, can act wrongly? We roll up our sleeves and trace the argument from bedrock Scripture to real-world policy, aiming for clarity without clichés. We start where the Bible starts: God’s covenant with Abraham in Genesis 12 and the striking moment in Numbers 22–23 when Balaam cannot curse what God has blessed....

Guardrails For AI, Freedom, And Family

Want a front-row seat to how states can shape the future of freedom? We bring lawmakers and policy pros together for a candid, strategy-rich look at AI guardrails, parental rights, energy security, civics reform, and the life debate—then pair it with spiritual renewal that keeps leaders grounded and brave. This is where model bills, clear frameworks, and practical tactics are forged, tested, and shared across red and blue states alike. We dig into the AI choices before us: wait for distant b...

Shutdown Without Shockwaves- with Congressman Barry Loudermilk

A shutdown that no one seems to feel is a political story begging for a plot twist. We sit down with Congressman Barry Loudermilk to unpack why this standoff looks different, how a “clean” continuing resolution became a flashpoint, and what happens when SNAP deadlines collide with Senate filibuster math. The headline isn’t just funding—it’s leverage. When policy riders hitch a ride on short-term spending, the real fight shifts to who controls the agenda months from now and who gets blamed whe...

White House Upgrade Backlash

A privately funded White House expansion shouldn’t be a five-alarm fire, yet the headlines say otherwise. We dig into the facts behind a proposed East Wing ballroom, why capacity and ceremony matter for diplomacy, and how the people’s house has changed many times before. From Monroe’s portico and Taft’s Oval Office to Truman’s steel-reinforced rebuild, the White House has always evolved to meet new demands. That history matters when judging what’s preservation, what’s progress, and what’s pol...

Building on the American Heritage Series - Social Justice

What if our culture’s hottest causes are colliding with the Bible’s clearest assignments? We dive into the contested space where faith meets public life and ask a sharper question: who did God actually task with justice, mercy, and protection—and what happens when we hand those duties to the wrong institution? We start by mapping jurisdiction. Romans 13 gives government the sword to punish evil and defend the innocent; Scripture gives charity to individuals, families, and the church. That si...
