Culture is loud, busy, and bossy—and too often it sets the rules in our homes. We talk with Pastor Alan Jackson about a quiet rebellion built on three simple habits: read the whole Bible, reclaim a weekly family table, and make one-sentence prayer as normal as saying hello. No theatrics, no heavy programs—just clear steps that put Scripture back at the center, return authority to parents, and invite God into everyday moments at work, school, and the grocery line.

We unpack how a daily Bible rhythm can reshape a leader’s instincts in under fifteen minutes a day, why a device-free meal each week acts like a spiritual wellness check, and how hospitality becomes the back-up plan for empty-nesters. Alan challenges dads to move beyond the bleachers and step into spiritual leadership, pushing back on secular schedules that outrank discipleship. He shares practical language for setting boundaries with coaches and schools, and offers a deceptively simple prayer practice: hear a need, say “Let’s pray,” speak one sentence in Jesus’ name, say amen, and move on. It’s faith in public without the weird—and it builds a reputation that draws people when crisis hits.

We also talk about the power of the Holy Spirit to do what our effort cannot. The early disciples were told to wait for power; modern families and public servants need the same help. Along the way, Alan shares unforgettable stories—gym-floor prayers, long drives for truth, and signs that God is moving when ordinary Christians take small, faithful steps. If you’re ready to lead at home, influence your community, and see practical change without burnout, this conversation gives you a plan you can start today.

What if the rising chaos isn’t a detour but a diagnosis? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson to examine the “birth pains” rocking culture—October 7 and its aftermath, the eruption of antisemitism on elite campuses, and the widening gap between America’s Christian heritage and our present choices—and we ask a harder question: what actually holds when everything rattles.

Alan lays out a clear case for beginning with Scripture, not geopolitics, when we think about Israel and national purpose. He walks through the changing security map—Hamas weakened, Hezbollah constrained, Syria fractured, Iran diminished for a season—without losing sight of the deeper spiritual currents that outlive any headline. We contrast the brutal silencing of a young campus advocate with the providential sparing of a president, and we talk honestly about God’s sovereignty when outcomes aren’t symmetrical. The takeaway is not rage, it’s resolve: use your voice, defend open debate, and refuse to normalize intimidation.

From there we confront a leadership vacuum that mirrors a values vacuum. What happens when a major city elects a Muslim socialist, not merely as a political shift but as a spiritual statement? Alan challenges the church to look in the mirror: would we rally with wisdom if a bold, untested Christian were chosen instead? We turn to 2 Timothy 3 to frame why these days feel fierce—character failure, not just policy failure—and we name the danger of keeping a form of godliness while denying the cross’s power.

We close with a practical path forward: build spiritual muscle memory through systematic Bible reading, prayer, accountable community, and a public witness that pairs grace with courage. Technique won’t save us; truth will.

When the ground moves under your feet, what do you hold onto? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson at the Pro Family Legislators Conference to tackle a hard but hopeful thesis: the church is meant to shape culture, not drift behind it. With candor and care, we revisit how faith retreated from boardrooms, classrooms, and civic life—and why that retreat let rival worldviews set the terms. This isn’t a partisan rant; it’s a call to bring a clear, biblical worldview back into public conversations about marriage, family, authority, and moral courage.

We trace the inflection points that changed the landscape. COVID didn’t just close buildings; it exposed foundations and cracked our trust in institutions that asked for deference while shifting standards. Hebrews 12 reframes the moment as a shaking—painful, yes, but purifying—so what cannot be shaken remains. Jesus’ image of birth pains adds urgency: intensity and frequency rise as delivery nears. That perspective moves us away from escapism and toward readiness, training believers to run through the tape with steady conviction.

Pastor Jackson presses into practical steps. Tell the truth even when it’s unpopular. Equip congregations to apply Scripture to current life, not just ancient history. Support leaders who carry a biblical worldview into policy without treating politics as a savior. Confront moral fog with moral clarity, from pandemic policies to the horrors of October 7. Our heritage shows that Christian ideas once shaped law, liberty, and civic virtue; recovering that influence requires humility, courage, and collaborative action across churches and statehouses.

A single court signal just shifted the ground beneath the midterms. We break down how the Supreme Court’s move to let Texas’s new congressional map proceed—on a 6–3 trajectory—could mark a turn away from race-based redistricting and toward a simpler, race-neutral standard. With filing deadlines here and margins razor-thin, even a handful of seats could decide whether a reform agenda advances or stalls. We talk candidly about the legal maze built over decades of precedent, why lower courts keep splitting, and how states from Georgia and Louisiana to Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio are redrawing their strategies in real time.

From the legal weeds to the practical impact, we connect the dots: what “equal treatment” means under the Voting Rights Act, why judicial deference to legislatures matters, and how race-neutral lines could reduce litigation chaos while leaving political gerrymandering fights to state processes. Then we shift gears to some refreshing good news: research showing kids who spend more time outside move more, sleep better, focus longer, and build stronger bodies and brains. Unstructured play, safe risk, and sunlight aren’t luxuries—they are core to development and resilience in a screen-saturated world.

Headlines move fast, but good policy starts with first principles. We open the toolbox—biblical clarity, historical evidence, and constitutional guardrails—to make sense of today’s most charged debates and to chart a path that actually improves lives. With Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel, we map how culture drifted from strong families to fragile norms, and then we show how to reverse course with compassion, courage, and strategy.

We dig into the post-Dobbs reality: fewer clinics but more chemical abortions, and what that means for public health, wastewater systems, and environmental stewardship. The conversation goes beyond slogans, explaining how mifepristone works, why metabolites matter, and where state and local regulators can step in. On gender medicine, we talk about caring for hurting kids without rushing to irreversible treatments, and how pastors, parents, and policymakers can hold fast to truth while offering real help and hope.

Marriage takes center stage as a uniquely unitive, procreative, and spiritual covenant—and we unpack why that makes it a cultural flashpoint. From Kinsey’s ripple effects to no-fault divorce and Obergefell, we trace the steps that reshaped law and norms, then outline practical ways to strengthen marriage, parental rights, and conscience protections without falling into all-or-nothing thinking. Matt shares a proven approach: set a clear objective, take small wins, learn from setbacks, and never lose sight of the destination.

A single court order that barred a 12-year-old from church. A split jury that left Kim Davis with a six-figure judgment. A growing wave of state moves to protect conscience while testing the limits of federal marriage and gender rulings. We sat down at the Pro Family Legislators Conference with attorney Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel to trace how these flashpoints connect—and why the debate over marriage shapes everything from religious liberty to sports, pronouns, and public spaces.

Matt starts with a startling custody case from Maine, where a judge prohibited a young girl from attending religious services, reading the Bible, or even associating with church friends. He then walks us through the decade-long Kim Davis saga, the attempted accommodations that removed clerks’ names from licenses, and the Supreme Court’s refusal to revisit the case. Along the way, he makes a forceful claim: when marriage law treats gender as irrelevant, that logic spreads across policy. Whether you agree or not, the argument reveals why states are rewriting judicial ethics codes, proposing resolutions, and preparing legal challenges that reassert their authority over domestic relations.

We also dig into employment law, previewing a major Title VII fight over religious hiring standards at Liberty University that could reach the Supreme Court. Matt explains how faith-based institutions navigate federal mandates while staying true to their doctrines, and why blue and red states alike are lining up with dueling briefs. The conversation closes with a practical guide for leaders and listeners: get informed, prepare for resistance, and build durable strategies rooted in both legal rigor and moral clarity.

Power you can count on changes everything—health, safety, jobs, and whether a storm becomes a headline or a hardship. We sit down with energy expert and former Texas legislator Jason Isaac to unpack why so many grids feel fragile despite record spending, and how policy signals have steered capital into intermittent capacity that often fails when demand spikes. From Texas’ post‑Uri reality to Europe’s price shocks, we connect real‑world outcomes to the engineering underneath the buzzwords.

Jason walks us through how subsidies per megawatt‑hour shape the buildout of wind, solar, and batteries, and why installed capacity is not the same as dependable generation. We cover land use tradeoffs, the true cost of storage, and the rising urgency for firm power sources such as advanced thermal and nuclear. Along the way, we examine Germany’s industrial retrenchment, the high price of electricity for households, and what happens when companies move production to countries with looser environmental and labor standards. Energy policy is not a spreadsheet exercise; it’s an industrial strategy that touches every family budget.

The conversation turns to human stakes often left out of climate debates. Cold kills more than heat when bills soar and homes can’t stay warm. In the developing world, energy poverty keeps children like Aisha walking for water instead of learning after school—proof that access to affordable, reliable electricity is a human rights issue. We challenge popular narratives, ask hard questions about “net zero” pledges, and argue for a path that values reliability, cost, and environmental stewardship together. If you care about keeping the lights on and lifting people out of poverty, this one’s for you.

Want a clean, honest look at energy that starts with truth and ends with action? We open with our core lens—biblical, historical, and constitutional—and then sit down with former Texas legislator Jason Isaac to examine how policies shape lives on the ground. The result is a clear, human-centered tour through ESG pressures, energy poverty, reliability, and the global tradeoffs we rarely see on headlines.

Jason shares how financial tools are being used to choke off insurance and capital for traditional energy and agriculture, driving up costs for families who can least afford them. We test popular assumptions against real data—like why Austin’s air quality didn’t meaningfully improve even with far fewer cars on the road—and discuss how American emissions controls outperform most of the world. We also pull back the curtain on imported pollution and the moral costs of battery minerals, including child labor in cobalt mines, showing how feel-good goals can hide real human harm.

The conversation moves from slogans to standards. Rather than defaulting to all of the above, we ask tougher questions: Is the power affordable? Is it reliable? Does it reduce poverty and preserve human dignity? We explore why rising utility rates increase eviction risk and homelessness, why subsidies can distort markets and undermine grid stability, and how prosperity often enables better stewardship. Along the way, we point to practical steps—sharing credible information, hosting local Constitution classes, and pressing for policies that secure dependable energy while elevating the most vulnerable.
