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 idea that gratitude for America is not blind pride, it’s a commitment to protect the freedoms we’ve inherited.Then we zoom out to a cultural moment you might not expect: FIFA visitors flooding social media with awe at American freedom and abundance. From the simple stuff like free refills to the deeper stuff like safety and liberty, those reactions become a mirror for Americans who have grown numb. We talk about why outside eyes can reignite appreciation, and why this season feels connected to a broader spiritual hunger that’s pulling people back toward truth, clarity, and faith.Our guest, Texas State Representative Nate Schatzline, gets intensely practical about what happens when pastors and churches stop sitting out the public square. He shares what he’s seen bringing pastors to Washington, DC, what wakes leaders up, and why local races like school board and city council are where the culture actually turns. Nate also breaks down the For Liberty and Justice blueprint that has helped flip 137 seats in Texas and explains how his own campaign, backed by his church and family, led to real legislative wins on issues like women’s sports, protections for minors, border and fentanyl enforcement, property tax priorities, and human trafficking crackdowns.If you’re ready to move from anger to action, listen, share this with your pastor or a friend who cares about the next generation, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the conversation.Support the show

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.Then we tackle the argument lighting up headlines: Bible passages in public school curriculum. We explain why studying the Bible as literature and history is not the same thing as preaching it, and why so many classic American texts assume biblical references. If students read Martin Luther King Jr’s Letter From Birmingham Jail but don’t know who Paul is or what the fiery furnace story refers to, they miss the point. We also get specific about the “unconstitutional” claim, including what the 1963 Supreme Court decisions actually allowed in history and literature classes.Finally, we bring it back to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the question underneath everything: can you understand the Founding Fathers without biblical literacy when Scripture was so commonly quoted in their political writing? We cover the Dunlap broadside printing, why signatures come later on August 2, and we share a simple reading list you can use with your family this week, from John Adams’s letters to John Quincy Adams and Calvin Coolidge.Subscribe, share this with a friend who loves history, and leave a review with the one Independence Day fact you wish you’d learned in school.Support the show

Who’s Pushing the Latest Attack On America’s Food Supply? In this explosive episode, Lara Logan sits down with Ammon Blair — former U.S. Border Patrol agent, U.S. Army infantry officer, and Senior Research Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation — to expose one of the most disturbing threats slipping across the southern border: the New World Screwworm. Once nearly eradicated in the U.S., this flesh-eating blowfly is back. It lays eggs in open wounds as small as a tick bite, where hundreds of maggots hatch and burrow into living tissue — devastating livestock, wildlife, pets, and potentially humans. With confirmed cases surging in Mexico and already appearing in the United States, the economic and national security implications are massive. Ammon Blair breaks down how Mexican cartels are exploiting cattle trafficking routes to move infected animals northward, flooding legitimate supply chains with falsified documents. He connects the outbreak to cartel territorial expansion through protected rainforests, the failures of open border policies, and the collapse of domain awareness along the Texas border. The conversation dives deep into how cartels have evolved from drug runners into hybrid terrorist organizations controlling food supply chains — turning America’s dependence on Mexican imports into a strategic vulnerability. Lara and Ammon explore whether the screwworm’s resurgence is merely opportunistic or something far more sinister, including possible bioweapon origins and gain-of-function research ties. They also examine the broader picture: NAFTA’s lasting damage, offshored food production, and the urgent need for operational control of the border.

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 the pledge, including why it was created in the 1890s, who actually drove the idea, and how the words and the salute changed over time through public use and Congress.Then we pivot from civic myths to practical policy questions listeners are asking right now. Transactional gold and silver sounds like a niche topic until you connect it to constitutional money, the gold and silver language in the Constitution, and the everyday reality of inflation. We talk through the basic concept of gold-backed spending, why people are pushing for state-level options, and why experts like Kevin Freeman have become go-to resources for understanding how these systems work in the real world.We also take on a claim popularized by documentaries and modern “history” narratives: that the Iroquois Confederacy significantly shaped the U.S. Constitution. We challenge the evidence people cite, explain what Franklin actually meant in his Albany Plan comments, and put the spotlight back on what the founders themselves quoted and relied on, especially Madison’s role in the Constitutional Convention.If you care about faith, culture, and the Constitution, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves a good debate, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

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 60 years. If you care about what students learn about the founding, religious liberty, and the meaning of citizenship, this is the kind of behind-the-scenes fight that decides the future long before election day headlines. We unpack how we got here, including the long arc of secularization and how “separation of church and state” became a slogan that shaped classrooms and courts. David Barton connects the dots across generations: what professors teach becomes what teachers teach, which becomes what lawyers argue, which eventually becomes what judges decide. Then we get specific about the breakthrough that changes everything: moving from a system where publishers could ignore half the standards to a law requiring 100 percent alignment, plus a Texas-driven approach to publishing that makes it harder for national textbook companies to water down the content. We also tackle the philosophical fight underneath the policy, from DEI-driven division to the argument for a shared American identity and a renewed “melting pot” civic culture. We discuss classical education, why the Bible appears as literature in reading lists, and how that context helps students understand major works and speeches, including Martin Luther King Jr. We close with the practical playbook: show up, testify, pay attention to state board of education races, and recruit serious candidates who will hold the line on standards. Subscribe, share this with a friend who cares about schools, and leave a review so more people can find the show and get equipped to act.Support the show

"Judge not, that you be not judged." It's one of the most quoted verses in the Bible... and one of the most misunderstood. In this message, Pastor Brian Mandel takes a closer look at Matthew 7:1 and explores what Jesus was actually teaching about judgment, discernment, and living with both truth and grace. Are we never supposed to judge? Or have we twisted Scripture by taking this verse out of context?

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 his book Courageous Church: Standing Boldly for Truth in a Cowardly World. We get practical about what “courage” looks like when the pressure is real, when the culture calls everything “politics,” and when pastors feel the temptation to stay quiet. Bob argues that abortion, marriage, and gender aren’t partisan talking points, they’re biblical issues tied to what we believe about God, humanity, and truth. We also dig into why courage is contagious, why community matters, and why you cannot sharpen iron with a marshmallow.We close by connecting the spiritual to the civic, including Bob’s appointment to the Texas Commission on Marriage and Family and what it means to bring convictions into the public square without surrendering the church’s mission. If you’ve been discouraged by headlines, this conversation is a reminder to look for what God is doing on the ground and to stand where you’re planted.Subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of faith and culture, share this with a pastor or friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the show
