    Truth Rising and the Civilization Moment for the West and America

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Os Guinness, renowned author and social critic, as Guinness persuasively argues that the West has reached what he calls a “civilizational moment”—a decisive turning point that will shape the future for generations. Civilizations don’t usually collapse overnight—but history shows they can lose their soul long before they lose their power. We’ll explore what that means for America—how we got here, yes, but also why this may be one of the greatest opportunities for Christians in the renewal of our culture and country, always for the sake of the Gospel. Listen in for the legal, the cultural, and the faith perspective on these vital issues, as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Join us!

    Pope Leo and Just War Theory, What did He mean on Palm Sunday?

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Ryan Helfenbein, Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center and VP of Communications and Public Engagement at Liberty University, as they talk through Pope Leo XIV’s confusing words on Palm Sunday this past Eastertide. Jesus doesn’t hear the prayers of soldiers fighting just wars? Doesn’t the long-standing biblical and Christian teaching endure that God ordains civil authority to bear the sword to restrain evil? Yes, Christ’s Kingdom advances without coercion, yet the justifiable use of force by government remains part of God’s providential order in a fallen world.

Are such “secular blasphemy laws” coming to America next?

Goeglein, VP of Government and External Relations at Focus on the Family (D.C.), as they discuss the common-sense—but often lost—truth that healthy families are key to a healthy, civil, and humane society. Christians should indeed be faithful fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, and children… so that “it may be well with us.” Yes, but raising strong, loving families is also good for the neighborhood.

    Freely Sharing The Message Of Easter - That’s The Blessing Of Religious Liberty In America

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz as he reflects on the powerful events of Holy Week and the ultimate message of hope, forgiveness, and lasting freedom found in the cross and resurrection of Jesus. America’s First Amendment protection of religious liberty is the blessing that safeguards your right—and responsibility—to share that GOD’S GOOD NEWS with those in your life. One liberty serves the other for the Christian. As we often say, “Easter is ultimately more important than July 4th—but thank God for July 4th’s freedom to proclaim the truth of Easter’s ultimate liberty without fear of government coercion to the contrary!” Listen in as Dr. Seltz gets back to basics, taking time to revel in what this Easter means for us—for all.

    Liberty Council Alert Elevates an Overlooked Environmental and Public Health Crisis

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, as they talk about another destructive by-product of unfettered abortion happening, unregulated, in people’s homes: fetal remains and pharmaceutical compounds entering municipal wastewater systems when they are flushed away. Abortion, a moral tragedy and a legal conflict, is now also an environmental disaster, as we may be drinking its harmful results in the water in our homes. We ask again this week, “Can the voices for life stop this before it’s too late?” We will see.

    Combatting the effort to enshrine unlimited abortion into the Virginia State constitution

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation of Virginia, to talk about the “all hands on deck” effort needed in Virginia and other states around the country to combat the growing shameless efforts to enshrine unlimited abortion as a norm in our society. Who could have imagined that a country built on life and freedom now has a political party that boasts about killing innocent life as a mark of freedom and “healthcare”? Can the voices for life stop this before it’s too late? We will see.

    Overcoming the State of Virginia’s Effort to Subjugate Parochial Schools: A Warning

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Jamison Coppola, Director of Government Affairs at The American Association of Christian Schools, to talk about an egregious policy effort in Virginia to place parochial schools under full state control—handing the Department of Education authority over staffing, curriculum, and internal oversight. Though the measure was thankfully tabled, such sweeping attempts to extend state power into the life of the Church and its ministries are deeply troubling. It is a clear “take heed” moment for all who are committed to protecting religious liberty and the Church’s freedom to carry out her work without government intrusion. Listen in as we talk about the policies that presently undermine both parental authority and parochial autonomy in education, as we discuss the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on these vital issues... as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love.

    Progressive’ Christians, not evangelicals, are the moral sellouts

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest Dr. Everett Piper—author of Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth, Washington Times columnist, former university president, and radio host—as they discuss modern progressive Christian accusations that conservative Christian engagement in politics is unbiblical and untoward. In essence, the progressive perspective is the one that merges state coercive power with Matthew 25 benevolence—making for bad government and even worse Church. Provocative? Yes. Informative? Yes.

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Sarah Parshall Perry, VP and Legal Fellow at Defending Education, as they discuss the cases before the Supreme Court that seek to protect women’s sports exclusively for women. The egalitarian notion that men and women are exactly the same has wreaked havoc in our society, and it is now undermining the very protections Title IX sought to secure. Will this be the cultural turning point back to common sense and sanity?

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco, exclusive columnist for the Christian Post. She brings her unique perspective and experience as a former devout Muslim who worked for decades in the field of national security and then experienced the redemptive power of Jesus Christ, becoming a Christian. She now brings that faith and wisdom to bear on many issues concerning Islam, the West, and the Christian mission to share Christ with all people.Today’s topic is the potential freedom of the Iranian people from the present Islamic regime, and why we need not only to understand what’s going on, but also to pray for the Iranian people — and even for our own culture — if we want real freedom to endure.Listen in for the challenges and the opportunities, as well as the legal, cultural, faith, and missional perspectives on these vital issues, as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love.

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and Missionaries of the Gospel of Life—a compassionate defender of the pro-life message in the public square—as we talk about why the Catholic community, Catholic institutions, indeed all pro-life Americans, should NEVER honor those who act in defiance of the Bible’s fundamental moral perspective concerning life. Government officials should never be given awards, honors, or platforms that would equivocate vastly different moral issues, suggesting support for their actions on one issue while they violate the fundamental responsibility of public service: the protection of innocent life.Listen in for the legal, the cultural, and the faith perspective on these vital issues... as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love.

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, as they discuss new Barna/CRC research findings that reveal most Americans reject the biblical notion of sin — tragically, even within the Church.Going forward, this is the most fundamental issue in American culture. For if there is no sin, there is no salvation; without salvation, there are no changed hearts, no civility, no liberty, and no peace.The truth remains: the wages of sin is death. That’s the fact. And no amount of government, technology, or prosperity will save us from ourselves if this basic biblical truth continues to be rejected.Listen in as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love.

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guests—Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Colorado, and Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma State Superintendent for Public Instruction—as they talk about religious liberty and the importance of educational freedom and excellence.How can someone like Phillips still be persecuted simply for being a Christian? And what’s gone awry in the way we teach civics, where students no longer recognize the biblical worldview foundations that support freedom for all?The answer to such questions lies in education—virtuous education—and a robust understanding of why government must be limited, and why America needs more virtue-seeking, self-governing citizens.Listen in for legal, cultural, and faith-based perspectives on these vital issues… as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love.

    This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Michael C. Maibach — the founder and director of The Center for the Electoral College and Distinguished Fellow at Save Our States — as they discuss the genius of our constitutional Republic. This genius is seen most clearly in the balance it strikes between liberty and order, especially through the Electoral College and the protection of the individual citizen’s freedom.In an age when many are deceived into thinking that “more government means more freedom,” it is vital to recall the wisdom of limited government.

In fact, she states it even more plainly: “In America, either rights come from God—or they don’t. This is the ultimate war, and God-Given or Bust tells how patriots can win.” I would also add: “Why we should win this war—not just for ourselves, but even for those with whom we disagree.
