The Mattea Merta Podcast

Is Canada about to criminalize Christianity?When I heard about Canada's Bill C-9, I knew I needed to talk with Pastor Brett Esslinger, one of the most prominent men leading the charge to combat this threat to religious freedom.The question I hope everyone, from every nation, takes away from this conversation is this: "What happens when a nation starts calling parts of the Bible “hate speech?" Bill C-9 is raising serious questions about freedom, faith, and the future of speech in Canada, and possibly beyond. Is this about protection… or control? And if it can happen there… what’s stopping it from happening anywhere?

This was one trip to the United Nations I wasn't fully anticipating. Normally, my pro-family coalition goes into major UN commissions and we take a stand in rooms where the pro-life and pro-family voice would otherwise be non-existent. This year, however, we went into rooms and were amazed... the agenda discussed by governments, UN agencies and activists is usually their own; the promotion of abortion, the sexualization of children, the decriminalization of prostitution. But this time around, everyone was talking about us.How successful the pro-family movement has been. How we're taking over legislative agendas. How much money we have (which we chuckled about because we most certainly do not *yet* have billions in our coffers, as these pro-abortion speakers said we do). Everything was centered on us.Truth tellers, those of us who stand on absolute truth and aren't afraid to stand amongst hundreds and thousands and defend it, took over the UN.

Growing up in Canada and having worked in her Parliament when euthanasia and assisted su*cide were ushered in under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, I couldn't believe just how fast the nation has fallen down its inevitable slippery slope.Pro-life advocates from around the globe warned about opening the door to this state-sanctioned instrument of death (and eugenics). Shockingly, what took the Netherlands 50 years to achieve in terms of euthanasia policy has taken Canada less than 10!Thankfully, I didn't have to have this conversation alone. Canada's former Ambassador to China, Mr. David Mulroney, joined me to outline where the country is at present and where it is going.Policy on this subject went from "for those at the end of life" to where we are now - giving to people on the same day they request it and the government considering it for children and those with mental illness. Canada is killing itself and it's far time we have a conversation about it. Support the podcast: Cashapp: $matteamertaInstagram: thematteamertapodcast

SummaryWe're getting into new territory this new year. Going beyond politics and into personal development, femininity, and generational legacy.Drawing inspiration from Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice', we're discussing the importance of cultivating skills, the pressures on women to conform, and the significance of creating a culture that values internal reflection and generational wisdom.

From the first moment I heard about "overpopulation" I knew I needed to get to the bottom of it - was it something we should be concerned about or a tool of fear used by social scientists and politicians to control humanity? My curiosity led me to the origins of this idea and just as with anything I personally look into from times past, I had to observe the fruits of it too. I hope this episode answers some of the questions you may have on this subject, and in addition, I want it to leave you with hope and it did for me. ~ Mattea JOIN MATTEA: CashApp: $matteamerta PayPal: @matteamerta Instagram: @thematteamertapodcast

I was SHOCKED when I heard that the Biden Administration was working to advance this disastrous cybercrime treaty at the United Nations that wouldn't just help p*dophiles consume horrific materials online, but it would also help in establishing so-called "sexual autonomy" for teenagers (children) which is just a backdoor way of ushering in "child sexual rights." This is wicked and we need to shed some light on it.

Good news today!
