Florida’s $1.8 trillion economy: A blueprint for America’s economic future
Business, Economic, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Podcast Index | RSS Florida is on fire! And for once, that’s good news. The Sunshine State is making headlines for something that’s quite impressive: an economy that continues to climb the global rankings while building a reputation as a powerhouse for business, job creation, and wealth generation.
Liberty won’t survive on the sidelines
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS America will not preserve its liberty by watching Washington and hoping for the best. A constitutional republic requires citizens willing to vote, ask hard questions, and hold public officials to their promises. Complaining from the sidelines is no substitute for doing the work.
The government wants to help you buy a house. Here’s the catch
Economic, Family Life, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Podcast Index | RSS What if the government offered to help you buy a house by financing most of your down payment? It sounds like an opportunity that’s too good to be true, especially for families struggling with California’s sky-high housing costs. But there’s a catch: helping people borrow their way into homeownership isn’t the same as making housing more affordable.
Why federal debt growth matters more than the total
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Economic, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Washington’s debt problem is becoming a threat to the future Americans are working so hard to build. Every dollar swallowed by interest is a dollar unavailable for the needs that brought taxpayers to the table in the first place. The danger lies in the speed of growth. Compounding rewards patient savers.
Socialism’s free promises and the price of liberty
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Economic, Faith, ISMs, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Promises of free housing, food, energy, and transportation can sound like rescue to a family struggling to pay its bills. That appeal deserves serious attention. So does the question too often buried beneath the promises: Who will be in control? The Democratic Socialists of America calls for collective ownership of key economic sectors.
The formative years: Children’s media and family values
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Family Life, Media, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS A culture that prizes applause over truth eventually punishes people for saying what they believe. Christians should recognize that danger and refuse to surrender their place in public life. Silence leaves the next generation learning its lessons from whoever commands the biggest screen. Dr. Andrew Fox knows the cost of speaking.
Defending America’s freedoms starts at the ballot box
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Faith, Policing & First Responders, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS America cannot afford a citizenry that sleeps through the loss of its freedoms. A republic requires people willing to recognize danger, defend its founding principles, and vote. Staying home is not a harmless expression of frustration. It leaves the future in someone else’s hands. The warning signs deserve our attention.
The influence of LGBT activism in America’s classrooms
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Education, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Parents cannot protect their children by assuming someone else is watching. When schools introduce programs involving sexuality and gender, families need to know what is being taught, who is directing it, and where their children are being invited to go. Silence leaves those decisions in other hands.
Self-government fails when citizens stop showing up
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Faith, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS A rainy Election Day should not be enough to keep us home. Generations of Americans have risked their lives and livelihoods to preserve self-government. We owe that inheritance more than frustration, folded hands, and the hope that someone else will carry the load. Voting is a responsibility in a constitutional republic.
Could America repeat the mistakes of the Roman Empire?
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Rome did not collapse in a single dramatic moment. Its people watched familiar institutions grow weaker while daily life went on. That is what makes its history unsettling. Decline can feel ordinary until the damage is impossible to ignore.
The fall of Rome and the cost of political complacency
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Education, Elections, Inspirational, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Rome did not fall in a day. Its decline unfolded across generations, while ordinary people worked, raised children, and assumed the world they knew would endure. That is why its story still unsettles us. Bill Federer points to a society strained by debt, political favors, and a growing appetite for spectacle.
Constitutional Republic vs direct democracy explained
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Education, Human Rights, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS A country can forget what makes it free long before it loses its freedom. The warning signs are easy to miss. Fewer people know how a law is made, why courts can strike one down, or what limits an elected leader’s power. Those may sound like classroom questions. They shape ordinary life.
Modern feminism, motherhood, and the fight for identity
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Family Life, Inspirational Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS The modern fight is not just about elections or policy. It is about whether family life still matters, whether mothers and fathers still have authority, and whether truth still exists at all. Too many institutions now reward outrage and punish dissent.
The calling behind your restlessness
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Family Life, Self-Improvement, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Ambition is not the enemy. Misplaced ambition is. Too many people are taught to fear wanting more, as if longing for growth is a moral flaw. But there is a deeper truth at work. Restlessness can be a holy thing. It can be the ache that says your life is not finished, your gifts are not spent, and your story is not over. That is not greed.
A test of national memory—and American resolve
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Political, Terrorism Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Remembering 9/11 should never be a hollow ritual. It is a test of whether America still knows who she is. The families who lost loved ones, the first responders who ran into burning towers, and the citizens who still carry that grief deserve more than polite speeches and political theater. They deserve respect, clarity, and courage.
Historical debates that shaped the Constitution
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Human Rights, Political Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Constitution Day is more than a date on the calendar. It is a reminder that freedom in America was never meant to rest in the hands of a few. It was built to move outward, to the states, to the citizens, to the people who must live under the laws. That idea was radical then and still feels radical now.
The complexity of modern Republican politics with JD Vance
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Economic, Military, Political, The Machine, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS J.D. Vance has become one of the sharpest tests of where the Republican Party is headed next. Some people see a polished operator, others see an awkward insurgent, and still others treat him like a warning sign. That range of reaction says less about Vance than it does about the country around him.
Preserving American democracy against communist threats
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Human Rights, ISMs, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS America is once again facing an old danger in a new suit. Communism no longer arrives wearing the slogans of the last century. It comes dressed as compassion, fairness, and progress. It speaks softly about justice while moving steadily toward control. That is what makes it so dangerous.
JD Vance and the future of conservative politics
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS JD Vance has become one of the clearest tests of where the Republican Party is headed after Trump. That is why the reactions to him are so split. Some see a polished conservative thinker. Some see a younger version of the old establishment. Others see a hard-edged fighter who could carry the movement forward without the flash that made Trump singular.
The battle for childhood: Identity, authority, and the right to grow up
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Education, Family Life, Health, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Children are being handed a script before they have language for truth. That is the scandal at the heart of the transgender debate, and it is far bigger than a culture war slogan. It is a battle over identity, trauma, authority, and who gets to shape a child’s conscience. What is often sold as compassion can become coercion.
Beyond the virus: The damage America still refuses to confront
Corruption, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Health, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS What happened during the pandemic was not just a public health response. It was a moral test, and too many institutions failed it. For nurses, parents, police officers, teachers, and ordinary citizens, the pressure did not arrive as a thoughtful debate. It came as commands. Mask up. Stay home. Comply.
Is Islam the threat some say it is?
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Most Americans know little about the Qur’an, who wrote it, and how Islam spread. Within 100 years of Mohammed’s death, his followers conquered North Africa, the Holy Land, Persia, and Spain – from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. National historian Bill Federer spent a long time reading and researching in order to give us the book, What Every American Needs to Know About the Qur’an.
How Islamic history intersects with Western governments
Constitution, Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS America has a habit of confusing courtesy with clarity. That mistake becomes dangerous when a society refuses to examine ideas that shape law, culture, and public trust. Too many Americans know only fragments about Islam, and those fragments invite distortion. They leave room for slogans, outrage, and political theater.
Who redesigned the family? God’s order vs social engineering
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Family Life, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS There are those around us who think God’s design for family is outdated. Is that true? We welcome Dr. Marlene to the program to explore this topic. We are looking at a planned agenda to incorporate social engineering, telling people they can change their sex, changing family roles, and changing the family line-up.
By Dawn’s Early Light exposes the battle over religious freedom
Constitution, Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Free Speech is under attack.

Breaking the poverty mindset through biblical wisdom
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Economic, Faith, Inspirational, Self-Improvement, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Blessed are the poor in spirit, Jesus stated. Too many people think that includes the poor in the material world. Not true! Too many people of faith abandon the practical and confuse that for spirituality. They overlook Matthew 6:32: seek first the Kingdom of God, and all the things will be added unto you.
A very convenient warming
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Economic, Education, Environment, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Fear has become a currency, and climate alarm is one of its most profitable markets. We are told that a warm summer day signals catastrophe, that a fraction of a degree means surrender, and that ordinary people must accept fewer choices, higher costs, and constant guilt. That is not science. It is salesmanship dressed up as certainty.
Why the faith community should vote
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Bibles and Ballots. Should people of faith be involved in politics? Not just be aware, but run for office and vote. Gary Meridith joins us to discuss this from a biblical worldview. Does the Bible really teach that Christians have no earthly business in “worldly” politics? Is that government a “necessary evil”? That God’s people are “citizens of heaven” only, unconcerned with the affairs of their community and country?
FBI warns of North Koreans masquerading as IT workers
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Globalism, Political, Technology, Terrorism, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS FBI and other nations warn of North Koreans masquerading as IT workers. When federal agencies and allied nations alert the public that North Korean operatives are posing as remote IT workers, the issue is bigger than a cyber scam.
Women pay the price when ideology trumps biology
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Education, Family Life, Sports, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Women’s sports were supposed to be a stage for excellence, discipline, and fair competition. Instead, they are becoming a battleground for confusion, ideology, and cowardice. That is not progress. It is a failure of leadership. When institutions refuse to say plainly what a woman is, they do not protect anyone.
Fraud is only the symptom: America’s moral crisis
Corruption, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Health, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS America has a fraud problem, but the deeper sickness is moral. When public money meant for seniors, disabled people, and struggling families is siphoned away, the injury is not only financial. It is spiritual. A nation cannot keep rewarding greed, shielding corruption, and calling it normal without paying a price.
Manufactured fear and the battle for your freedom
Corruption, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Globalism, Political, The Machine, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Today’s culture runs so much on pre-planned crises designed to elicit knee-jerk emotional reactions that too many people react instead of stepping back, thinking, and asking questions about the information being given to them. John Leake, author of Mind Viruses: America’s Irrational Obsessions.
Washington’s courage guided by Christian faith
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Inspirational, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS George Washington has been turned into a paper portrait by too many modern storytellers, polished, flattened, and stripped of the faith that shaped him. That is a costly mistake. Washington was not a man floating above conviction.
Mayor Mamdani, NYC, and the limits of local power
Constitution, Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, ISMs, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Does Mayor Mamdani understand his constitutional limitations? Does he think he is president-in-waiting? Why does NYC have an office called the International Affairs Commissioner? Apparently, this commissioner was working to set up a meeting with Iran! In case you didn’t know, the U.S. is at war with Iran. Pardon my sarcasm.
The road from addiction to purpose
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Health, Inspirational, Lifestyle, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Bill Allen’s life is a hard witness to the fact that no one is beyond reach. He speaks not as a polished theorist, but as a man who has lived through addiction, abuse, violence, shame, and the kind of despair that can make tomorrow feel impossible. That is what makes his message land. It is not a slogan. It is survival.
Abolitionists from Quakers to Frederick Douglass
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Human Rights, Military, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS As America marks its 250th year, it would do well to look beyond celebration and into the hard chapters that shaped the nation. Gettysburg remains one of those turning points. It was not only a battlefield. It was a test of whether a republic founded on liberty could survive the violence of division and the stain of slavery.
Stealing elections, stealing a country
Corruption, Courts, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Greg Stenstrom starts by giving us the background on mass voter fraud that he and Leah Hoopes uncovered.

What does the term racism even mean anymore?
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Racism…a term that is so often used when people who are not part of a certain minority group are called out when they say something that is not politically correct. Does that automatically mean that what is being said is wrong?
No worker should be forced to fund speech they oppose
Business, Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Many union members are asking an important question: Where are my dues going?

Are humans destroying the planet? Separating science, politics, and scripture
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Energy, Environment, Faith, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS So, are we the people destroying the planet by using air conditioners and fossil fuels to power our cars and heat our homes? We are done with people like Greta Thunberg being exploited to promote an agenda that tells us the only way to save the planet is for people to pay more taxes. Is this a scientific fact?
Spiritual discipline for Christians who feel stuck
Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Faith, Lifestyle, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Many Christians speak of faith the way pilots speak of weather, something to be managed later, if there is time. That is a costly mistake. Spiritual drift rarely arrives with drama. It comes through small omissions, skipped prayers, neglected Scripture, and a life lived at full speed without reflection. Discipline is not a cold word. It is a life-saving one.
How do we defend liberty? Start by asking the right questions
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS We ask all listeners to actively participate in the research to determine if representative government is best.

Fraud finally prosecuted?
Constitution, Corruption, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS Marco Rubio says China played a strong role behind the scenes in election fraud in recent elections.

Unmasking the Democratic Socialists of America
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have done a really good job of misrepresenting their brand of Marxism and dressing it up to sound desirable, as well as being very organized. Bernie Sanders is a leading member of this fast-growing group, as well as Mamdani and AOC. Resist the temptation to dismiss them. It is perennially tempting for humans to fall for the lie that you too can get something for nothing.
Groupthink vs. Reality: What America can learn from its visitors
Cultural Wars, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Inspirational, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS It’s okay to have a great time!And that is what has been happening as many visitors from the world have converged on the U.S. and are reporting via social media that America is not the most horrible place on earth, and its citizens are not the most horrible people either.

So with that said, develop a healthy respect for being informed about money and knowing how to manage it well.
Why the Bill of Rights matters: Protecting America’s fundamental freedoms
Constitution, Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS The U.S. Bill of Rights was largely drafted by James Madison.

Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, Elections, Immigration, Political, Top Stories Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | RSS The divide is clear with the growing prominence of the Democratic Socialists of America.
