Before diving into your questions, I take a few minutes to talk about what’s happening in Iran and why Christians need to look at it through the lens of Scripture, history, and plain old common sense. Then it’s Fan Mail Friday, and I’m answering your questions about the Epstein files, protecting our kids, homeschooling, and raising children who will stand firm in their faith in a culture that seems determined to lose its mind.

Across the country, students are walking out of class to protest ICE and immigration enforcement but the real issue isn’t free speech. The bigger question is why taxpayer-funded schools are becoming staging grounds for political activism.

Today I’m talking about what these walkouts reveal about the state of public education, who’s influencing our kids, and why parents need to start paying attention. If education isn’t neutral—and it isn’t—then we need to be asking who is shaping the worldview of the next generation.

We’re living in an age of information overload—and confusion. In this episode, Frank Turek joins me for an honest conversation about the growing lack of discernment among Christians, the rise of conspiracy culture online, and why truth still matters in a world full of noise. We talk about the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, the danger of slander and speculation in the church, and the spiritual warfare behind lies, gossip, and division. We also discuss what’s happening in the Middle East, the importance of thinking biblically about government and culture, and why Christians must stay grounded in God’s Word in chaotic times.

This is a timely conversation about truth, discernment, and the responsibility believers have to stand firm in a culture that’s losing its grip on both.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and semaglutide are everywhere right now and so is the fear surrounding them. Are they dangerous? Are they a breakthrough? And why is the internet so divided?

Today I’m joined by Drs. Mark and Michele Sherwood from the Functional Medical Institute to talk honestly about what GLP-1s actually do, who they’re designed to help, and why so much of the conversation online is driven by hype and fear instead of facts.

We also dive into ketones, blood sugar and mood swings in kids, snoring and sleep apnea, hormones for men in their 40s, cold plunges and saunas, and why so many people are struggling with anxiety right now. Most importantly, we talk about how to become “hope dealers” in a culture that profits from fear.

If you’re looking for clear thinking, practical health wisdom, and encouragement in a noisy world, this episode is for you.

Today we’re talking about grief, loss, and the power of forgiveness.

Gary and Mary Malachowski share the story of their daughter Hannah, who was killed in a tragic accident just days before Christmas. In the middle of unimaginable heartbreak, Gary made a choice that would shape the rest of their healing journey—he chose to forgive.

This is a tender conversation about suffering, marriage, faith, and the God who meets us in the darkest places. If you’re grieving—or walking alongside someone who is—I pray this episode reminds you that you are not alone.

📖 Remembering Hannah: A Journey Through Loss and Hope is available on Amazon.

I’m back from Australia—and what I saw both inspired and sobered me.

On the Gospel Reset tour with Ken Ham and Barry Wilmore, I witnessed a beautiful nation that has quietly surrendered freedoms through passivity. Cameras everywhere. Speech limitations. Christian schools using secular curriculum.

It was a powerful reminder: freedom is fragile—and the reset begins in Genesis.

Let’s talk about why this matters for your family and how we stand boldly at the intersection of faith and culture.

This episode originally aired on October 22, and I’m bringing it back because this is a conversation we simply cannot ignore.

As explicit “romance” fiction and erotic content continue to become normalized—especially among women—it’s important that we talk honestly about what it’s doing to our hearts and our marriages.

In this powerful and vulnerable conversation, Elise Orozco shares how so-called “romance” fiction slowly drew her in, how it impacted her marriage and her walk with the Lord, and how God led her to freedom.

This isn’t about shame. It’s about guarding our hearts and remembering that God’s design for intimacy is protective, beautiful, and life-giving.

If you care about strengthening your marriage and living in freedom, don’t skip this one.
