• Read, Gather, Pray

  Culture is loud, busy, and bossy—and too often it sets the rules in our homes. We talk with Pastor Alan Jackson about a quiet rebellion built on three simple habits: read the whole Bible, reclaim a weekly family table, and make one-sentence prayer as normal as saying hello. No theatrics, no heavy programs—just clear steps that put Scripture back at the center, return authority to parents, and invite God into everyday moments at work, school, and the grocery line.We unpack how a daily Bible rhythm can reshape a leader’s instincts in under fifteen minutes a day, why a device-free meal each week acts like a spiritual wellness check, and how hospitality becomes the back-up plan for empty-nesters. Alan challenges dads to move beyond the bleachers and step into spiritual leadership, pushing back on secular schedules that outrank discipleship. He shares practical language for setting boundaries with coaches and schools, and offers a deceptively simple prayer practice: hear a need, say “Let’s pray,” speak one sentence in Jesus’ name, say amen, and move on. It’s faith in public without the weird—and it builds a reputation that draws people when crisis hits.We also talk about the power of the Holy Spirit to do what our effort cannot. The early disciples were told to wait for power; modern families and public servants need the same help. Along the way, Alan shares unforgettable stories—gym-floor prayers, long drives for truth, and signs that God is moving when ordinary Christians take small, faithful steps. If you’re ready to lead at home, influence your community, and see practical change without burnout, this conversation gives you a plan you can start today.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review telling us which habit you’ll start first.Support the show

• Faith, Israel, And America’s Shaking

  What if the rising chaos isn’t a detour but a diagnosis? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson to examine the “birth pains” rocking culture—October 7 and its aftermath, the eruption of antisemitism on elite campuses, and the widening gap between America’s Christian heritage and our present choices—and we ask a harder question: what actually holds when everything rattles.Alan lays out a clear case for beginning with Scripture, not geopolitics, when we think about Israel and national purpose. He walks through the changing security map—Hamas weakened, Hezbollah constrained, Syria fractured, Iran diminished for a season—without losing sight of the deeper spiritual currents that outlive any headline. We contrast the brutal silencing of a young campus advocate with the providential sparing of a president, and we talk honestly about God’s sovereignty when outcomes aren’t symmetrical. The takeaway is not rage, it’s resolve: use your voice, defend open debate, and refuse to normalize intimidation.From there we confront a leadership vacuum that mirrors a values vacuum. What happens when a major city elects a Muslim socialist, not merely as a political shift but as a spiritual statement? Alan challenges the church to look in the mirror: would we rally with wisdom if a bold, untested Christian were chosen instead? We turn to 2 Timothy 3 to frame why these days feel fierce—character failure, not just policy failure—and we name the danger of keeping a form of godliness while denying the cross’s power.We close with a practical path forward: build spiritual muscle memory through systematic Bible reading, prayer, accountable community, and a public witness that pairs grace with courage. Technique won’t save us; truth will.

• Shaping Culture With Courage

  When the ground moves under your feet, what do you hold onto? We sit down with Pastor Alan Jackson at the Pro Family Legislators Conference to tackle a hard but hopeful thesis: the church is meant to shape culture, not drift behind it. With candor and care, we revisit how faith retreated from boardrooms, classrooms, and civic life—and why that retreat let rival worldviews set the terms. This isn’t a partisan rant; it’s a call to bring a clear, biblical worldview back into public conversations about marriage, family, authority, and moral courage.We trace the inflection points that changed the landscape. COVID didn’t just close buildings; it exposed foundations and cracked our trust in institutions that asked for deference while shifting standards. Hebrews 12 reframes the moment as a shaking—painful, yes, but purifying—so what cannot be shaken remains. Jesus’ image of birth pains adds urgency: intensity and frequency rise as delivery nears. That perspective moves us away from escapism and toward readiness, training believers to run through the tape with steady conviction.Pastor Jackson presses into practical steps. Tell the truth even when it’s unpopular. Equip congregations to apply Scripture to current life, not just ancient history. Support leaders who carry a biblical worldview into policy without treating politics as a savior. Confront moral fog with moral clarity, from pandemic policies to the horrors of October 7. Our heritage shows that Christian ideas once shaped law, liberty, and civic virtue; recovering that influence requires humility, courage, and collaborative action across churches and statehouses.If you’re hungry for a plan that blends conviction with compassion and gives you steps you can take this week, you’ll find it here.

• Redistricting At A Crossroads

  A single court signal just shifted the ground beneath the midterms. We break down how the Supreme Court’s move to let Texas’s new congressional map proceed—on a 6–3 trajectory—could mark a turn away from race-based redistricting and toward a simpler, race-neutral standard. With filing deadlines here and margins razor-thin, even a handful of seats could decide whether a reform agenda advances or stalls. We talk candidly about the legal maze built over decades of precedent, why lower courts keep splitting, and how states from Georgia and Louisiana to Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio are redrawing their strategies in real time.From the legal weeds to the practical impact, we connect the dots: what “equal treatment” means under the Voting Rights Act, why judicial deference to legislatures matters, and how race-neutral lines could reduce litigation chaos while leaving political gerrymandering fights to state processes. Then we shift gears to some refreshing good news: research showing kids who spend more time outside move more, sleep better, focus longer, and build stronger bodies and brains. Unstructured play, safe risk, and sunlight aren’t luxuries—they are core to development and resilience in a screen-saturated world.Want to make a difference? Use voter tools like iVoterGuide and Christian Voter Guide to research candidates early, especially for primaries where ballots are truly shaped. And at home, try a simple reset: send the kids outside, let boredom work its magic, and watch curiosity kick in.

• Why Strengthening Marriage And Parental Rights Changes A Nation

  Headlines move fast, but good policy starts with first principles. We open the toolbox—biblical clarity, historical evidence, and constitutional guardrails—to make sense of today’s most charged debates and to chart a path that actually improves lives. With Matt Staver of Liberty Counsel, we map how culture drifted from strong families to fragile norms, and then we show how to reverse course with compassion, courage, and strategy.We dig into the post-Dobbs reality: fewer clinics but more chemical abortions, and what that means for public health, wastewater systems, and environmental stewardship. The conversation goes beyond slogans, explaining how mifepristone works, why metabolites matter, and where state and local regulators can step in. On gender medicine, we talk about caring for hurting kids without rushing to irreversible treatments, and how pastors, parents, and policymakers can hold fast to truth while offering real help and hope.Marriage takes center stage as a uniquely unitive, procreative, and spiritual covenant—and we unpack why that makes it a cultural flashpoint. From Kinsey’s ripple effects to no-fault divorce and Obergefell, we trace the steps that reshaped law and norms, then outline practical ways to strengthen marriage, parental rights, and conscience protections without falling into all-or-nothing thinking. Matt shares a proven approach: set a clear objective, take small wins, learn from setbacks, and never lose sight of the destination.If you care about life, family, freedom, and the rule of law, this conversation gives you a roadmap and tools to act.
