  • Epic interview with Ukrainian pastor

    Joseph, your interview with Ukrainian Pastor Gennadiy Mokhnenko was riveting. Every American pastor and Christian, for that matter, should listen to this before we all find ourselves in the same regretful “We tried to warn you” crisis. Pastor Mokhnenko is so right: we should not use the rejection of man as an excuse for not speaking the truth. That is exactly what Jesus said would happen and, yet, he still said GO!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SPLC Exposed: Financing Leftist Extremism (Ep. 241)
Q: But Chris, can you walk us through this indictment and what the SPLC actually did wrong and how strong you think this case is?
The indictment reportedly includes three components: fundraising schemes to finance racism and extremism, shell entities and bank accounts that misrepresented activities, and a conspiracy to commit money laundering. The discussion emphasizes bank fraud as a clear, white-and-black issue and suggests the case could grow with more charges as the grand jury process unfolds.
Rewilding Our Boys (Ep. 240)
Q: I'm wondering for young boys in particular, even pre-teenage, what can moms do, grandmas, aunts do, both for women, what can they do to bring the best out of young boys and not even unintentionally stifle them?
Focus on structured but flexible play, create clear boundaries, and provide leadership opportunities for boys to practice responsibility and initiative while maintaining safety and prudence.
Virginia is on the Brink (Ep. 239)
Q: Casey, what exactly is the constitutional amendment about redistricting and why is it a big deal right now?
The amendment would change how districts are drawn by bypassing the independent redistricting commission, potentially creating maps that significantly favor one party, which could influence elections for years.
At a Crossroads: America's 250th (Ep. 237)
Q: Is the Declaration and the Constitution still relevant today?
Dr. Spalding argues that while one should avoid overstatement, the Declaration and the Constitution still provide a moral and philosophical mooring, blending classical reason with biblical revelation to ground American liberty and governance.
Did DEI Really End? (Ep. 238)
Q: How do you respond to claims that these changes threaten academic freedom or minority rights?
The host and guest frame the issue as balancing civil liberties with ideological conformity, arguing that critical thinking and open inquiry require removing coercive DEI litmus tests and ensuring that curricula are evaluated on academic merit rather than political orthodoxy.
