A Socialist Now Runs the City Where I Was Born
I was born in New York City. Today, from very far away, I want to write her a letter. Because I am worried about the city where I was born. In this episode, I talk about the New York I remember, the promises of its new socialist mayor, and the warning God gave Israel when they asked for a king to...

The Night I Stopped Watching the News
Some years ago, on an ordinary evening, I switched off the television. I have not watched the evening news since. Here is why. In this episode, I tell you what Sister Margaret said to me that night, how often the people on that screen have been wrong about you, and what to fill that hour with...

Why You Feel So Tired of It All
The news, the prices, the arguments at the dinner table. If you are tired of it all, I want you to know something. I am tired too. In this episode, I tell you what God did for a prophet who said "It is enough," why rest is not a sin, and why you only need to stand up one more time this November....

The Question I Am Asked More Than Any Other
It comes in letters and comments, always asked quietly: "Father, is it too late for America?" Today I answer it. In this episode, I tell you about a wicked city given forty days, what happened when its people turned back to God, and why the next twelve days matter for your country. Scripture in...

Two Men. Two Americas.
One man said you cling to your guns and your religion. The other said, "We worship God." Two men. Two Americas. In thirteen days, you choose. In this episode, I put Barack Obama and Donald Trump side by side, and explain why this November is not about one man, but about which America your...

Why I Pray for America Every Night
Every night, when the bells go quiet, an old man sits by his window with his rosary. His last prayer before he sleeps is for America. In this episode, I tell you about my nights, why your country has always been a light to me, and why every night I pray for you too. Tell me in the comments how…

The Forgotten Men and Women of America
"The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer." Washington forgot you. God never did. In this episode, I speak to the factory towns, the farmers, the veterans and the widows. Why God always tells the forgotten first, and why your voice still matters this November....

The Four Things You Keep Telling Me
Many of you have written to me. I will never share what any one of you said. But I have noticed you are carrying the same things. In this episode, I speak to the lonely, to families divided over politics, to those afraid for their country, and to those who wonder if God still wants them home....

Your Grandchildren Are Being Taught to Hate America
Your grandchild comes home and tells you America was built on cruelty. They did not learn that from you. In this episode, I talk about who is teaching your grandchildren to see this country, the warning of a generation that forgot God, and the grandmother whose faith shaped one of the great…

The Real Reason They Hate Trump
They impeached him twice. They charged him four times. Twice, someone tried to kill him. This is not normal politics. In this episode, I explain why the hatred of Donald Trump is spiritual, not political. What Daniel's accusers teach us. And why that same hatred is aimed at you. Scripture in this...

The Day Trump Was Shot, I Saw the Hand of God
A bullet came within a fraction of an inch of taking the life of Donald Trump. I do not believe it was luck. In this episode, I return to Butler, Pennsylvania. The turning of a head. The angels of Psalm 91. And the fire chief who gave his life to shield his family. Scripture in this episode…

How Trump Brought Patriotism Back to America
For years, you were made to feel that loving your country was something to apologize for. Then one man stood in front of the flag and refused to apologize. In this episode, I talk about how President Trump brought patriotism back to America, why patriotism is not the same as pride, and Moses'...

Why They Mock What You Believe
They used to argue with what you believe. Now they laugh at it. From a presidential candidate sneering at people who "cling to guns or religion," to an FBI memo about traditional Catholics, to the mockery of the Last Supper at the Paris Olympics, you are not imagining it. In this episode, I…

America Was Built on a Prayer
Before there was a Constitution. Before there was a Declaration. There was a prayer. They will tell you America was never a Christian nation. In this episode, I let the founders speak for themselves: the Pilgrims on the Mayflower, the signers of the Declaration, George Washington and John Adams…

What God Wants You to Do This November
On the third of November, you will cast your vote. And you will cast it without fear. The President's name is not on the ballot. But everything he has fought for is. In this episode, I talk about what is at stake in these midterms, why who governs this country matters to God, and three things I...

The Lord is My Shepherd
You know this psalm by heart. And that may be the very reason you have stopped hearing it. In this episode, we read Psalm 23 slowly, one line at a time. The shepherd who goes after what is his. The valley we walk through, not into. And the goodness and mercy that chase after us all the days of…

What the Dying Told Me They Regretted
In fifty years, I have sat beside many people in their final days. Not one of them asked to see their bank statement. When the end is near, the noise falls away and the truth comes up. In this episode, I share what the dying told me they regretted most, what I never once heard anyone regret, and...

Why You Feel Like a Stranger in Your Own Country
You did not leave your country. It left you. If you have felt like a stranger lately, at church, at the family table, even in the grocery store, you are not crazy. And you are not the first. In this episode, we sit by the rivers of Babylon with God's people in exile, and we read the letter God…
