This week on The SoCon Report, we’re bringing you one of the most important and sobering conversations we’ve ever hosted. I sat down with Jason McGuire, Executive Director of New York Families Foundation, whose newly released documentary Inmate 090198 tells the full story of what happened when the state came after him for standing firm in his Christian convictions.Many of you know Jason as a faithful advocate for life, family, and religious liberty in one of the toughest political climates in the country. What fewer people know is the personal cost he paid when New York Attorney General Letitia James launched charges against him, setting off years of legal pressure and intense public scrutiny. Jason’s account reveals the growing reality of lawfare aimed at silencing Christian and conservative voices.In our interview, Jason talks openly about the moment the charges came, how he processed the accusations, and what it was like to spend his first weekend behind bars as a husband, father, and ministry leader. He also shares how the Lord strengthened him when the weight of the situation felt overwhelming.Jason’s new documentary Inmate 090198 is now available, and I cannot encourage you strongly enough to watch it. His story is a warning, but it is also a testimony of God’s faithfulness in the fire.Share your support for Jason and get free access to his new documentary at JusticeForJason.org.Learn more about New York Families Foundation at NewYorkFamilies.org.Join the pledge to PRAY, VOTE, and ENGAGE at https://familypolicyalliance.com/pledge.

A major legal victory has been announced in Texas that impacts every family in America, and we’re excited to share the news! In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Covey, Director of Policy at Texas Values. Jonathan and his team played a central role in securing a significant legal win when the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a federal injunction against Senate Bill 12. This is the Texas law designed to protect children from exposure to drag shows and “hyper sexualized performances.” This ruling allows SB 12 to move forward, and it marks a meaningful step in the effort to safeguard children from inappropriate performances that have no place in front of kids. Jonathan has spent years working in the Texas Capitol and as a senior policy analyst in the state senate. His experience gives him a unique perspective on why this issue matters and what comes next in the broader fight to defend families. In the episode, we walk through how the case unfolded, why the appeals court sided with Texas, and how this ruling addresses the First Amendment claims critics often raise. We also talk about how this victory could serve as a model for other states and the additional battles Texas Values is facing right now.

What happens when a teacher’s faith collides with a school’s pronoun policy?In our latest podcast, I sit down with Josh Hershberger, attorney, minister, and Director of the Church Ambassador Network, to discuss the case of John Kluge. In 2018, Kluge resigned from Brownsburg Community School in Indiana after his religious exemption to a pronoun policy was revoked. His case is now headed to a jury, and the outcome could set a powerful precedent for religious liberty in classrooms nationwide.Josh unpacks why this case matters for teachers, parents, and people of faith, and what it means for the future of religious freedom in America’s schools, including:·     Religious freedom at stake: Kluge’s fight against a school pronoun policy could shape how schools across the country handle faith-based accommodations.·     Legal insights: Why the court’s rejection of the school’s “emotional distress” claim is a key turning point.·     National implications: The outcome of this case may set a precedent for teachers, public employees, and people of faith navigating similar cultural battles.We hope you’ll take time to watch and share this important discussion. Together, we can ensure that people of faith are free to live out their convictions.Don’t miss this important conversation.Join the pledge to PRAY, VOTE, and ENGAGE at https://familypolicyalliance.com/pledge.Discover the Family Policy Council nearest you at https://familypolicyalliance.com/allies.Learn more about Josh and Indiana Family Institute at https://hoosierfamily.org.

Family Policy Alliance CEO Craig DeRoche was one of several Christian leaders who recently traveled to Israel on a delegation led by the Family Research Council. This trip was no ordinary tour.

He explains why Christian engagement in U.S.–Israel relations matters more than ever, and discusses how believers can speak truth into today’s cultural and political narratives.

Since the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade in June 2022, many in the pro-life movement, including faithful believers like you, have asked, What now?How do we continue to defend life, not just in law, but in hearts, homes, and communities?Roland Warren, President and CEO of Care Net, offers a powerful and timely answer. Warren’s vision for the next chapter of the pro-life movement goes beyond saving babies to transforming lives. His journey began at Princeton, where he and his girlfriend (now his wife of over 40 years) chose life in the face of an unplanned pregnancy. That decision set him on a 40-year path of advocacy and ministry.Since joining Care Net in 2012, Roland has emphasized the deeper issues fueling abortion: the collapse of marriage, fatherlessness, and a lack of spiritual guidance. His call is clear—if we are truly pro-life, we must also be pro-abundant life, offering hope, support, and discipleship to mothers, fathers, and families in need.If you're wondering how to make a lasting impact in this post-Roe era, this message is for you.

The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people to pray for the nation.
