Episodes
Faith And Culture Updates From Iran To America
You can feel it in the air right now: a lot of people are exhausted, cynical, and tempted to believe nothing good is happening. We refuse to live there. This Good News Friday brings stories that are concrete, surprising, and worth sharing, especially with the friend who’s been hit with the “America is the bad guy” narrative and can’t see past the headlines.We start with a remarkable update from on
Franklin’s Prayer And The Constitution
Benjamin Franklin didn’t just give a clever speech at the Constitutional Convention, he tried to keep the whole thing from collapsing. When tempers rise, delegates start heading home, and the nation’s future hangs in the balance, Franklin points everyone back to a practice they once treated as normal: seeking God’s help. We walk through what the records actually show, why daily prayer wasn’t adopt
Smithsonian Under The Microscope
A museum doesn’t just display artifacts, it teaches people what to believe about themselves. That’s why we dig into the growing spotlight on the Smithsonian and the recent congressional hearing that raises a blunt question: who is curating America’s story, and to what end?We walk through just how massive the Smithsonian Institution really is, why its authority carries so much weight in classrooms
The Gap Year That Builds Leaders - with Krish Dhanam
Your teenager is smart, motivated, and still unsure what they’re called to do. Or maybe they’re already in college and feel like they’re paying to “find themselves.” We talk about a different path: a focused, high-intensity gap year that builds character, clarity, and real leadership skills instead of just collecting credits.We sit down with Krish Dhanam, dean of the Patriot Institute at Patriot A
How Local History And Public Prayer Can Renew America - with David Kubal
A Bronze Star for writing a prayer sounds like a punchline, but it’s tied to one of the most gripping faith and American history stories we’ve ever told. We start with a behind-the-scenes recap from Washington, DC, then walk straight into the General Patton prayer card account during the Battle of the Bulge: 250,000 soldiers urged to pray for weather, commanders stunned by “miraculous” clear skies
Who Controls What You Own After You Buy It
If you’ve ever been told you “own” something but can’t actually fix it, you already understand the fight at the center of this Good News Friday. We start with John Deere and the right to repair, unpacking why farmers and equipment owners get squeezed when parts, diagnostics, and labor are locked behind dealer-only rules, and why an antitrust-driven settlement signals a real win for competition and
When Federal Courts Try To Run Immigration
One federal district judge can’t be allowed to function like a national legislature, yet that’s exactly what it feels like when courts block immigration enforcement and claim constitutional protections in ways the Founders never intended. We dig into the uproar over Judge James Boasberg, Marco Rubio’s attempt to remove visa holders accused of spreading propaganda, and the larger constitutional que
What Happens When You Raise The Bar For Young Leaders
Teenagers are debating monetary policy, health care, and constitutional questions on the actual Idaho House floor and they’re doing it with more seriousness than most adults expect. We’re at Patriot Academy’s Leadership Congress to find out why a realistic legislative simulation can change a student’s confidence in a matter of days, and why learning the process is only the beginning. We talk with
Building on the American Heritage Series - Preserving America's Heritage
The phrase “Christian nation” gets thrown around like a slogan, but we wanted to slow down and ask a more precise question: what did American courts, lawmakers, and leaders historically mean when they used it? We start with the definition that shows up again and again in public records, that America is called a Christian nation because Christianity has “shaped and molded” its institutions, not bec
After Lindsey Graham: South Carolina’s Sudden Senate Fight - with Chad Connelly
A US Senate seat can reshape the country overnight and South Carolina is staring at one of the fastest timelines you’ll ever hear. We’re processing the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, what his career meant for the state and the nation, and why his absence creates real pressure on razor-thin margins in Washington. When every vote counts, conversations about major legislation like the SAVE
A Patriotic Night In Washington
Eight hundred fifty thousand fireworks can light up the sky, but it cannot fix a country that forgets what it is celebrating. We start with the 250th weekend energy in Washington, D.C., including the heat, the crowds, and a fireworks display so massive you could feel it from miles away. Then we talk about one of the most moving parts of the celebration: a patriotic show-and-tell of historic Americ
America’s Freedom Works Only With Religion And Morality
The detail most people miss says a lot about what we’ve forgotten: an open Bible sitting on the table in the iconic Constitutional Convention painting. From there, we follow a thread that runs through the Founders’ writings, early American sermons, and later statesmen who saw a direct connection between faith, morality, and a free republic.We talk honestly about a modern claim that sounds noble bu
Rebuilding Liberty’s Missing Foundation
A lot of people can celebrate America. Far fewer can explain it. As we head toward the 250th anniversary, we’re sharing week three of Rebuilding Liberty with Tim Barton to make sure the next generation knows what freedom is, why it matters, and what kind of foundation it actually requires.We start with a simple premise: you can’t rebuild anything without a foundation. Tim uses Psalm 127 and Psalm
History Shows Religious Expression Belongs In Public Life
The story we’re told about faith in public life is usually simple: religion belongs at home, and anything more is a modern political invention. The receipts say otherwise. We trace a straight line from the founding era through the 1800s and into the mid-1900s showing how biblical literacy and religious expression were woven into American civic culture, public education, and even the everyday tools
America’s Schools Once Taught The Bible By Law
A single Supreme Court test helped drive 50 years of fights over prayer, the Bible, and religious symbols in public life and most people never learned its name. We unpack how rulings like Engel v. Vitale and Lemon v. Kurtzman changed the rules for schools and government spaces, why the Lemon test got cited thousands of times, and how it fueled everything from nativity scene battles to challenges o
Good News From Washington That Points To Renewal
July 4 isn’t just a summer holiday, it’s a living inheritance, and we’re feeling that up close from Washington, DC. With America approaching the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we zoom in on a wild detail most people miss: Congress once debated Jefferson’s draft line by line, shaping the words that would define American freedom. That historical moment helps explain why a resu
Pastors, Power, And The American Founding - with Pastor Josh McPherson
The Declaration of Independence didn’t just come from brilliant men in a room, it came from a culture shaped by pulpits, sermons, and a belief that our rights come from God, not government. From Washington, DC during America 250 events, we sit down with Pastor Josh McPherson to connect the founding era to the pressure points we’re living through right now, and to name what many people felt during
America At 250
America is turning 250, and we refuse to let it be just fireworks and food. We’re on the road meeting leaders, pastors, and ministries who are helping people reconnect with the nation’s founding principles, the Declaration of Independence, and the biblical worldview that shaped early American culture. That hunger is real, and it shows up in the renewed interest in founders’ history, original sourc
America 250 And A Comeback In Patriotism - with Nate Schatzline
Fireworks are easy. Remembering what made America worth celebrating is harder, and that’s where we go for America 250. Rick Green, David Barton, and Tim Barton talk through the surprising wave of renewed patriotism we’re seeing right now, why it rattles the cynics, and how learning the stories of the Declaration’s signers brings “lives, fortunes, sacred honor” back into focus. We also dig into the
The Bible Behind America’s Founding
July 4 gets all the fireworks, but our actual independence vote landed on July 2, 1776, and that one detail opens the door to a much bigger reset of what we think we know about America’s founding. We walk through the real timeline from Richard Henry Lee’s motion, to Jefferson’s draft, to the edits Congress made, to why July 4 is better understood as Declaration Day, not the day the vote happened.T
The Week’s Biggest Wins For Faith And Freedom
The news cycle trains you to expect bad headlines, so we decided to spend this Good News Friday hunting for proof that courage still exists and that good ideas still produce good results. We start close to home with a major release for American history lovers: our new book “Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor,” profiling all 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. If you care about the Foundi
The Pledge Myth
People can make almost anything sound sinister if they start with a scary premise and end with a confident conclusion. We slow down and do the unglamorous work: dates, documents, and plain context. That’s how we handle a question we keep hearing, especially in Christian civic circles, about whether repeating the Pledge of Allegiance is “idolatry” or a socialist setup. We trace the real history of
Lives Fortune Sacred Honor And The People Behind The Declaration
A Declaration of Independence signature looks heroic from 250 years away. In real time, it can put a target on your back. We dig into what that kind of courage actually costs, why the signers weren’t instantly celebrated, and how a nation’s memory changes once the fighting ends and the stories finally get told.We’re also marking the run-up to America’s 250th anniversary by sharing practical ways t
Texas Is Building Textbooks That Tell The Whole Story
Texas is about to do something that almost never happens in modern education: force textbooks to tell the full story. From the hearing rooms of the Texas State Board of Education, we explain why a vote on social studies standards is not just a state issue, but a national inflection point that could influence American history curriculum, civics education, and textbook publishing for the next 40 to
The Courageous Church - with Bob Pearl
Nearly 5,000 men show up in Washington State, and what we hear afterward isn’t a victory lap, it’s a sober signal that something is shifting. We talk through highlights from FreedomCon at the Gorge and why it feels less like a passing revival moment and more like an awakening that pushes outward into families, churches, and communities.Then Dr. Bob Pearl from Birchman Baptist joins us to unpack hi
Building on the American Heritage Series: Demystifying the Courts
Courts shape our daily lives, but most of us were taught a version of the judiciary that the Constitution never actually designed. We dig into the biggest myths head-on: the idea that federal judges are appointed for life no matter what, that the judiciary is an “independent” branch beyond real restraint, and that only the Supreme Court can decide what’s constitutional. Using the Federalist Papers
Founders Under Fire
The Founding Fathers are quoted constantly and understood rarely, and that gap is where bad history thrives. We dig into the real human cost behind the Declaration’s pledge of “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” and share standout stories from our new book, Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor. You’ll hear what it meant for John Hart to spend a year on the run after signing, and why Francis Lewis’s f
Jefferson’s Rough Draft
The fastest way to cut through modern noise about the Founding Fathers is to put the original documents back in your hands. We’re celebrating America’s 250th anniversary by talking about a replica of Thomas Jefferson’s handwritten draft of the Declaration of Independence, complete with cursive, scratch-outs, and the drafting trail that shows how carefully the words were chosen. It’s not the same a
Patriotism On The Rise - with Dr. Ben Carson
A fighter wins under the lights and quotes John 3:16 to a massive audience. Another walks out after reading the Declaration of Independence in the Oval Office. Moments like that don’t just feel cinematic, they reveal something real about the cultural weather in America, and we dig into why it matters. We start by reacting to a weekend packed with patriotic imagery in Washington, DC, and what it si
Why Fatherhood Still Matters - with Bill Federer
Father’s Day is usually framed as a light holiday, but the real story is heavier and a lot more revealing. We sit down with historian Bill Federer to trace the origins of Father’s Day from a heartbreaking coal mine disaster that left hundreds of families without fathers, to the grassroots push that spread nationwide through churches and the YMCA. Along the way, we ask a simple question with huge c
Lives, Fortunes, And The Culture Shift
The founders weren’t a tidy, unanimous blob of “great men,” and the more you learn about them, the more gripping the real story gets. We kick off Good News Friday with something we’ve been itching to share: our new book, “Lives, Fortune, Sacred Honors,” a fast-moving set of modern biographies on all 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. Along the way, we talk through the kinds of details
Civics Before Committee Power
What if we stopped pretending “anyone can lead” means “no one needs to know the basics”? We dig into a listener-driven idea with real constitutional teeth: you cannot add extra requirements to be elected to Congress beyond what the Constitution already lists, but leadership can absolutely decide who gets committee assignments, chairmanships, and real influence. If you want the gavel, prove you und
Building on the American Heritage Series - Revival and Reformation
Revival is one of those words that can feel inspiring and vague at the same time, so we decided to get concrete. We talk about what revival actually looks like when you compare Scripture with American history and we challenge the popular idea that renewal is a quick spiritual adrenaline rush that fixes everything overnight. The Great Awakenings didn’t last a weekend. They lasted decades, and they
Flag Day Decoded - with Bill Federer
Flag Day isn’t a modern, made-up observance. It reaches back to a wartime decision on June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress chose a national flag in the middle of the American Revolution. We walk through that origin story, why Francis Hopkinson belongs in the center of it, and how the familiar Betsy Ross claim shows what happens when legend outruns documentation. If you care about Am
America’s 250th And A Courageous Church - with Craig Seibert
Something is shifting as America heads toward the 250th anniversary, and it is not just more history content online. We feel a real opening for renewal when faith and culture meet in everyday places: churches, city councils, youth groups, family conversations, and local celebrations. From David Barton’s story of speaking on the deck of the USS Midway to Tim Barton’s reminder to unplug from endless
Good News Is Real When Truth Shapes Culture
Decline is not inevitable, and neither is renewal. We bring you a rapid-fire Good News Friday with stories that cut across health, culture, courts, and American history, all through a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective that stays practical and grounded in real headlines. First up, we react to new data showing smoking among adults has fallen to an all-time low, with youth smoking
A Rally For Christian Men - with Josh McPherson
Washington State rarely dominates the headlines, but Pastor Josh McPherson says that silence is part of the problem. Tim Barton sits down with Josh for the conclusion of their conversation about faith and culture, Christian civic engagement, and why a constitutional republic only survives when people of conviction refuse to opt out. Josh makes the case that inalienable rights come from our Creator
Stronger Men, Stronger Families - with Josh McPherson
A lot of men feel the pull to be strong, but they’re not sure what strength is for or who it’s meant to serve. We talk with Josh McPherson about a definition of biblical manhood that cuts through the noise: strength that dies to comfort, refuses cowardice, and shows up as protection, provision, leadership, and love. Along the way, we unpack a simple but demanding pledge and why power isn’t the ene
Kill The Dragon Win The Girl - with Josh McPherson
“Kill the dragon, win the girl” sounds like a movie line until you hear Pastor Josh McPherson explain what it means for your actual life. We’re joined by the lead pastor of Grace City Church for a story that’s equal parts outdoorsy Washington State grit, deep family faith, and the kind of suffering that either breaks you or builds you. Josh walks us through his path from homeschooling and patrioti
America’s Founding Formula - with Eric Metaxas
America’s 250th birthday is more than a party date, it’s a stress test for our national memory. We ask a blunt question: what actually made the United States free, stable, and resilient, and why are so many cultural gatekeepers determined to tell the founding as a story of nothing but oppression. From a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective, we dig into the principle that shaped the
Faith And Culture Wins From Courts To Campuses
Silent prayer led to arrests while real violence against pregnancy centers often seemed to fade into the background. We dig into the latest reversal: the Justice Department firing prosecutors connected to FACE Act cases and dropping remaining actions tied to targeting pro-life Americans, plus why these decisions matter for religious liberty, equal justice, and the long-term health of free speech i
Ballot Access And Party Power
A party label feels like a gate, but it’s often just a sticker. We start with a sharp listener question: why not require a Constitution test before someone can run as a Republican or Democrat for Congress? We break down the difference between what election law controls (ballot access and constitutional qualifications) and what parties can actually do (endorsements, funding, volunteers, and public
Restoring Justice - with Jeremy Dys
A thousand-page government report is a lot of paper to ignore, especially when it alleges something most Americans instinctively reject: justice that isn’t blind. We start with a hopeful sign of cultural momentum the hosts saw up close a massive homeschool convention packed with families, curriculum, coaching, and the kind of community that makes education feel joyful again. Homeschooling has gone
The Unholy Alliance - with Dr. Michael Youssef
A lot of people sense the ground shifting but can’t quite name what’s happening or what to do about it. We sit down with Dr. Michael Youssef to tackle a hard question head-on: how can secular progressivism and Islamist activism work side by side, and what does that alliance mean for religious liberty, free speech, and constitutional rights in the United States? Dr. Youssef brings decades of resear
Memorial Day Done Right - with Col. Kevin Bouren
Memorial Day isn’t a slogan, and it isn’t a “happy” holiday. We want it to be a real pause, the kind that remembers names, families, and the price that was paid so the rest of us could live ordinary lives in freedom. That’s why we sit down with Colonel Kevin Bouren, a West Point graduate, career Army officer, and combat commander, to talk about loss, service, and what meaningful remembrance should
Supreme Court Liability And Border Fixes That Change Daily Life
A lot of headlines feel like noise until you ask one question: who is actually being held accountable? That’s where we start on Good News Friday. We walk through a US Supreme Court decision that shifts the legal landscape for trucking companies, especially when crashes involve drivers who aren’t properly trained, don’t meet basic standards, or can’t read critical road signs. When liability gets re
Civics Before Congress
It feels obvious to say lawmakers should know the Constitution before they’re trusted with power, budgets, and national policy. But once we follow that idea all the way down, the real question becomes harder: can we legally require a civics test for Congress without breaking the Constitution itself?We walk through what the Constitution actually allows for congressional qualifications and why addin
Frederick Douglass Against Marxism - with KCarl Smith
Marxism doesn’t spread mainly through economics, it spreads through a story: nothing is fixed, everything must be remade, and the only way forward is to pit people into oppressor and oppressed. We push back on that story from a biblical, historical, and constitutional perspective, and we get specific about the differences between socialism, Marxism, and communism and why they all move toward coerc
A Day Of National Prayer
Thirty thousand people in 90-degree heat, packed onto the National Mall, singing worship songs and praying for America’s future. That’s not a metaphor or a nostalgia reel, it’s what David and Tim Barton witnessed firsthand in Washington, DC, during a major rededication gathering timed to the 250th anniversary of the Second Continental Congress call for a national day of humiliation, fasting, and p
How Church History Fuels Pro-Life Courage Today - with Seth Gruber
A pastor leads his church out of the sanctuary, marches them to a city wall where unwanted infants are left to die, and starts ripping the bricks down with his bare hands. That forgotten story becomes a mirror for modern America and it is one reason I wanted you to hear Tim Barton’s conversation with pro-life advocate and filmmaker Seth Gruber.We talk about The Last Stand event in Denver and the p
Polls Are Moving And Courts Are Noticing It
The headlines can make it feel like nothing good is happening, then you zoom in and realize the wins are piling up where it counts: elections, courts, policy, and real-world help for families. We walk through fresh midterm signals, including CNN’s own data analysis showing movement among Black voters that could decide razor-thin races in key districts. The bigger point is simple and practical: tig
Article VII And The Declaration Link
If you’ve ever wondered why the Constitution sometimes feels “blank” on the biggest moral questions of the day, we make the case that you’re reading it without its foundation. We start with a listener’s question about Article VII and trace the paper trail the Constitution leaves on purpose: it dates itself from the twelfth year of American independence, pointing straight back to the Declaration of
Can Tolerance Become A Trojan Horse For Tyranny - with Bill Federer
America has had it so good for so long that we can start to assume freedom is automatic. It isn’t. From Wichita, Kansas at a Liberty Pastors event, we talk about why the 250th anniversary should feel less like a victory lap and more like a wake-up call for Christians who care about religious liberty, civic engagement, and the future of a constitutional republic.Rick Green sits down face-to-face wi
Is Honest Money A Moral Issue - with Kevin Freeman
History gets rewritten the same way money gets devalued: slowly, then all at once. From a hallway conversation in Boston to a deep dive on gold and inflation, we follow the thread that connects cultural narratives, civic education, and what families can actually afford when the dollar keeps losing purchasing power. We also talk about why verifying claims is often embarrassingly easy, yet still ign
The Man Book Mindset - with Nick Freitas
Masculinity is getting blamed for everything and then repackaged into something ugly, and a lot of young men feel stuck between shame and swagger. We sit down with Nick Freitas, a combat veteran, former legislator, and one of the clearest voices on culture, to talk about The Man Book and the bigger question behind it: what does God say a man is for?We get concrete fast. Nick explains why “share yo
What Israel’s Nuclear Secrecy Reveals About Alliance And Deterrence
Demanding that Israel reveal its nuclear defenses in the middle of a regional war sounds like “oversight” until you ask the obvious question: who benefits from making an ally’s deterrence easier to map and target? We walk through why that request is so dangerous, what it signals about the political climate around antisemitism, and the little-known US policy dating back to 1969 that helps keep sens
How National Prayer Proclamations Shaped American Life
National Day of Prayer can feel like a modern flashpoint, but the deeper story is older and far more bipartisan than most people realize. We walk through the historical evidence that public prayer has been woven into American life from the start, including moments like Columbus’ prayers of thanksgiving, prayer observances tied to Jamestown and Plymouth, and a remarkable scene from September 6, 177
What Freedom Costs When Government Sets Prices - with Bob McEwen
Gas prices spike and the first instinct is to blame “greedy oil companies,” but that explanation falls apart once you follow the math of a global commodities market. We sit down with former Congressman Bob McEwen to untangle a listener’s question: if America has so much oil, why do Americans still feel the pain at the pump? The answer runs straight through supply and demand, worldwide buyers, disr
God’s Hand Runs Through America’s History - with Cynthia Scott
America’s 250th anniversary is forcing a blunt question: are we willing to tell the real story of the nation’s founding, or only the version that fits today’s politics? We dig into why we see the “hand of Providence” as more than a slogan, walking through moments from early exploration to the Pilgrims, the awakenings, and the ideas that shaped the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
No Limbs No Limits - with Nick Vujicic
A kid attempts suicide at 10. He grows up with no arms and no legs. Then he spends his life crossing the globe telling people there is still hope. That’s why we brought back our friend Nick Vujicic, and why his new documentary film, No Limbs No Limits, matters far beyond a moving success story.We talk with Nick about what the film reveals that most people have never seen: home footage, family voic
Military Training Reforms And Culture Wins That Matter
The stories that shape a nation rarely feel dramatic while they’re happening, but the small shifts add up fast. We’re bringing a stack of Good News Friday headlines that hit the real pressure points of American life: how leaders are trained, how justice is applied, how families are honored, how teens are protected, and how schools can keep standards in the AI era.First, we dig into a major move in
Letters Or Emails What Lawmakers Actually Notice
A flood of emails used to look like “the people are rising up.” Now it might just be a script, a bot, or an AI tool spinning up thousands of messages that feel personal but aren’t. We dig into the question every frustrated citizen is asking: what actually gets a congressman or senator to pay attention today, and what’s the smartest way to use your limited time and energy?We walk through the real-w
Faith Vs Marxism - with Kirk Cameron
The weirdest part of our political moment isn’t the headlines, it’s how comfortable some people have become saying out loud that violence is acceptable if it stops the “wrong” side. We talk through the latest assassination attempt news, the reactions that followed, and why this isn’t just a fight about policy but a clash of worldviews that shapes how people justify hatred.From a biblical perspecti
Restoring Faith Family And Freedom In A Fractured Culture - with Tim Goeglein
Politics can be loud enough that we forget what’s actually at stake. We sit down with Tim Goeglein, longtime Focus on the Family leader and former George W. Bush White House aide, to get clear about the foundations that make a free society possible: faith, family, and freedom. If you care about religious liberty, parental rights, and a culture where truth still means something, this conversation p
Rise Of The Statesman - with Josh McPherson
A lot of men feel it but can’t quite name it: the country is shifting fast, leadership feels thin, and doing nothing is starting to look like a decision. We sit down with Pastor Josh McPherson from Washington State to talk about FreedomCon 2026 and why he calls it “Rise Of The Statesman” a rallying point for Christian men who want to lead with strength, clarity, and responsibility.We get into the
When Institutions Bend, Who Holds The Line
A judge tells Virginia Democrats a referendum is illegal, it goes forward anyway, and then the election gets set aside. That’s where Good News Friday starts: not with hot takes, but with the uncomfortable truth that election integrity depends on boring things like timing rules, publication requirements, and ballot language voters can actually trust. We walk through what the Virginia redistricting
Faith Meets Founding History
A Great Awakening is getting people into theaters and then into conversations they didn’t expect to have: Who was George Whitefield, why did Benjamin Franklin respect him, and how did spiritual ideas shape early American public life? We talk through the wave of listener feedback, including the kind that makes us smile most, when someone realizes they “know a lot about history” because they’ve been
Texas Textbooks Determine the Direction of the Nation, Part 2 - with Dr. Julie Pickren
One vote can decide whether a generation learns a clear, content-rich story of American history or a vague set of standards that can be stretched to fit almost anything. Rick Green sits down with Julie Pickering from the Texas State Board of Education, with David Barton adding long-range context on why Texas standards don’t stay in Texas. When TEKS change in a major state, textbook publishers and
Texas Textbooks Determine the Direction of the Nation, Part 1 - with Dr. Julie Pickren
A handful of votes in Austin can quietly shape what students read in classrooms across America and most families never hear about it until the books are already printed. We start with a hopeful cultural moment, America Reads the Bible, and talk about why public Scripture literacy still shows up in civic life, from shared language to the way laws and history are taught. We also look ahead to the 25
Rebuilding Liberty For America’s 250th
A lot of people are making plans for America’s 250th anniversary and I’m excited for the celebrations. But I don’t want the 250th to be all fireworks and hot dogs with no understanding of the Declaration of Independence, unalienable rights, or why government exists in the first place. That’s the heart of this WallBuilders message: civic literacy is the missing ingredient, and this next season is a
What Counts As Good News In Chaotic Times
A principal runs toward the sound of gunfire, tackles a would-be school shooter, and lives. Astronauts wake up near the moon to a Christian song and speak openly about God, prayer, and creation. Then we hit the whiplash of modern life: official acronyms so long they sound like satire, headlines that strain credibility, and policies that test the limits of constitutional authority. That mix is exac
Reforming Academia From Within
A public university professor writes in with a question a lot of people quietly carry: if American academia feels captured by ideology and hostile to biblical Christianity, is it already too far gone or can it be reformed? We start with the history many classrooms skip, that early American colleges were overwhelmingly founded with explicit Christian commitments, then we get brutally practical abou
Texas Textbooks, National Impact - with Brandon Hall
Texas doesn’t just teach its own kids, it often sets the direction for what the rest of the country reads. When publishers chase the biggest markets, Texas State Board of Education votes can ripple into national textbooks, classroom materials, and the story students absorb about American history, Western civilization, and civic life.We sit down with Brandon Hall, a Texas SBOE member and pastor, ri
Undercover Inside A D.C. Islamist Network - with David Gaubatz
A former federal agent joins us with a claim that still shocks people years later: he assembled a team, trained them to move quietly inside Sharia-driven spaces, and sent them undercover to assess the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). What they say they found, including the recovery of roughly 13,000 internal documents, shapes the entire conversation and raises urgent questions about h
Read The Bible Together - with Bunni Pounds
What would it look like for America to hear the Bible out loud again, not as a slogan, but as the actual text from Genesis to Revelation? That question drives our conversation as we get ready for a major national moment in Washington, DC: America Reads the Bible, where nearly 500 leaders will read Scripture publicly and livestream it across the country.We talk about why public Bible reading has su
Europe Reverses Course As America’s Culture Fights Heat Up
Europe is changing course, Hollywood is unexpectedly saying the quiet part out loud, and a few long-running legal fights just took a dramatic turn. We kick off Good News Friday by looking at the European Parliament’s move toward deportations and detention centers for illegal immigration, a major shift after years of open-border ideology. If you care about immigration policy, national sovereignty,
Christ-Centered College Rallies Are Rewriting The Story Of Gen Z
Thousands of college students are showing up in arenas to talk about Jesus and it’s not happening at just one school. We dig into the Unite Us movement and the wave of campus revival stories from places like Pittsburgh, Alabama, Purdue, Ohio State, and Texas A&M, plus why the real test comes after the rally. Big moments are powerful, but we talk about the unglamorous next step that makes them
What Happens When Voters Lead Again - with Tim Mooney
A two-week ceasefire can sound like progress, but it can also be a trap if it lets a hostile regime regroup. We take a hard look at the Iran headlines and ask the question most coverage skips: what would a real end to the conflict require, and how do you prevent a “pause” from becoming a rebuild? From deterrence to diplomacy, we talk through why credibility changes negotiations, why Israel’s postu
What If Courageous Faith Is Contagious Again
A Holy Week news cycle rarely sounds like this: a US president openly celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ with Scripture, a Passover message points back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and an Artemis astronaut looks at Earth from space and calls it an oasis in a universe of emptiness. We put those clips on the table and talk honestly about what they reveal about faith in public li
Counseling And Free Speech - with Kelly Shackelford
Colorado tried to do something chillingly simple: let one side of a heated cultural debate speak freely, then make the other side a punishable offense. We dig into the Supreme Court’s 8–1 decision rejecting that approach, and why it’s bigger than a single headline about “conversion therapy” bans. When the state can outlaw a counselor’s viewpoint, free speech stops being a constitutional right and
