  • Ep 819 | Jen Hatmaker Commemorates Her Divorce from Evangelicalism

    08/06/2023 Duration: 01h09min

    Today we start with a deep dive into Rolling Stone reporter Ej Dickson, who is in the process of writing a smear piece on conservative hosts who speak out against transgender ideology and the grooming of children. Turns out, Ej has a history of running cover for and essentially trying to normalize pedophilia. Then, we go over the Wall Street Journal article that exposes how Instagram is being used by child predators to communicate and organize with each other. Lastly, we talk about yet another disappointing Instagram post from Jen Hatmaker, in which she commemorates Pride Month by reminiscing about an interview in which she first announced that she is LGBTQ-affirming. We discuss why, despite what she must think, Jen is not taking the biblical or the loving stance on this. --- Timecodes: (01:30) New merch at YWLS (04:53) Rolling Stone request for comment (36:50) Ej’s history and most recent articles (49:00) WSJ article on pedophiles and Instagram (53:00) Stop posting your children online (01:01:05) Jen Hatm

  • Ep 818 | How LGBTQ Became Our State Religion | Guest: Auron MacIntyre

    07/06/2023 Duration: 01h13min

    Today we're joined by Auron MacIntyre, BlazeTV host of "The Auron MacIntyre Show," to discuss why the Right isn't winning and the "Total State" takeover of the religion of LGBTQ. We discuss the rainbow brigade's insistence on exposing children to sexuality early on and how this is the key to predation. If you aren't able to stand up against the active destruction of children, you can't stand up against anything — but is the Right really up for this fight? We talk about how most people on the Right are terrified of being labeled anti-gay and the classic "LGB without the T" argument. We argue that you either have a cohesive moral vision or you don't, and if you don't, you'll be picked apart by those who do. We also discuss Ted Cruz tweeting out against Uganda's new anti-homosexuality law (of all humanitarian issues to speak up about) and how he bought into the rainbow narrative. We also discuss what the "Total State" is and whether there's any good news that can come of any of this. --- Timecodes: (01:35) Pr

  • Ep 817 | Parenting Influencers Go All-In on Pride Propaganda

    06/06/2023 Duration: 48min

    Today we’re discussing several parenting influencers who have jumped into giving advice on how to teach kids about Pride Month. We respond to some of the things they've said regarding Pride and give you some encouragement and advice in response. One of these accounts is Dr. Becky’s "Good Inside;" she recently posted about how to encourage your kids to accept openness and tolerance in relation to Pride. We explain why we shouldn’t be teaching our kids to be open to and tolerant of everything and why it's important for kids to orient themselves according to the truth of the world. We talk about the danger and stupidity of the phrase “love is love” and look at a Parents magazine article on going along with your child’s “coming out.” Then we talk about "Big Little Feelings," another parenting influencer who posted before Pride Month, pushing the propaganda that your child will commit self-harm if you don't allow them to submit to gender ideology. This goes hand in hand with the Trevor Project's bizarre "data" on

  • Ep 816 | Reliving the Trauma of Sharing a Locker Room with 'Lia' Thomas | Guest: Riley Gaines

    05/06/2023 Duration: 48min

    Today, we’re joined by Riley Gaines to talk about her decision to speak out against men competing in women’s sports. Her story started when she tied with Lia (Will) Thomas in the NCAA Women’s Swimming Championships and saw the trophy given to Thomas rather than her for the photo op. She covers the traumatizing experience of having to change with a man in the women’s locker room and how blindsided and betrayed she and the other swimmers felt. We discuss the backlash and harassment she’s faced for standing up for women in sports, including being held hostage after a speech at San Francisco State University. Riley issues a challenge to female athletes and offers some advice to parents. Then, she joins us again for a special announcement. --- Timecodes: (00:54) Intro & Monday encouragement (13:23) Background on Riley (17:15) Deciding to fight sports injustice (19:36) Will Thomas & denying truth (30:55) Family response to Riley's competition (34:35) Calling on girls to boycott (40:03) Title IX (44:20) Riley's a

  • Ep 815 | MLB Christians Push Back on Pride

    01/06/2023 Duration: 54min

    Today we're talking about the continuing controversy surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers and their involvement with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of drag queens who explicitly belittle and mock Christianity. Since the Dodgers re-invited the group to participate in their Pride event, several pro players have spoken out against the politicization of the MLB by having Pride events and involving themselves with groups like the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and unsurprisingly, they're getting trashed by the Left and mainstream media. However, some of these players are holding more firmly to their faith than others, while some have disappointingly responded with caveats or apologized altogether. Then, we talk about the terrible story of two elderly pro-life volunteers who were violently attacked while praying outside an abortion clinic. Then, we briefly discuss a new study that seems to confirm what we all already knew: that left-wing ideology attracts literal narcissists and psychopaths. --- Ti

  • Ep 814 | ‘The Chosen’ Responds to Pride Flag ‘Controversy’ | Guest: Rep. Jessica Baker

    31/05/2023 Duration: 56min

    Today we're discussing a few controversial topics, starting with a Pride flag spotted on the set of "The Chosen," a popular TV series focusing on the life of Jesus. The flag was seen attached to camera equipment in a promotional clip and belongs to a crew member, which naturally drew a lot of negative feedback. We take a look at whether this is cause for concern and what's realistic to expect from "Christian" shows. Then we move over to Florida, where an Orlando-based convention for furries (people who enjoy dressing up as anthropomorphized creatures) announced it would ban children due to a Florida Senate bill that makes exposing children to sexual performances illegal. We discuss why this move reveals a lot about the "furry" community. Then we're joined by Florida Representative Jessica Baker, who sponsored a Florida bill that allows sexual battery against a child under 12 years old to be considered a capital offense, punishable by the death penalty. She explains why this bill is important to her and why it

  • Ep 813 | Is Chick-fil-A Moving Left? & Khloe Kardashian’s Surrogacy Confession

    30/05/2023 Duration: 58min

    Today we're talking about Chick-fil-A's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which have provoked backlash today after conservatives discovered some rather left-leaning language on the company's site. We look at what the company claims in these initiatives (and the fact that it has a VP of DEI to begin with) and share the real problems with DEI. Then, Khloe Kardashian shines some light on the dark truth of surrogacy in a new clip from her show "The Kardashians." In the show, she expresses how transactional her surrogacy experience seemed to be. We explain why she's absolutely right and why more and more people are realizing the many dark sides of surrogacy, which has more ties to human trafficking than most are willing to admit. We also offer some encouragement for the week. --- Timecodes: (00:54) Intro / Indy 500 / airport breakdown (07:58) Encouragement for the week (14:16) Chick-fil-A (31:00) Target update (34:40) Power of influence (40:30) Khloe Kardashian surrogacy --- Today's Sponsors: Goo

  • Ep 812 | Will Chip & Jo Speak Out Against Target 'Pride'?

    25/05/2023 Duration: 56min

    Today we're talking about Target's pride clothing line again since news of the company's collaboration with a satanist broke. We take a look at the controversial items in the collaboration and what the artist has said about satanism and Satan. One of those messages is that "Satan respects pronouns." We explain why he's right about this – Satan is the father of chaos and lies. We look at Target's response to the backlash to its pride line, which included pulling the collection from some stores, but the company's response didn't include an apology for selling the items to begin with. We explain why this doesn't mean we've won and give a call to action: We think everyone can give up Target for at least the month of June. We also discuss Chip and Joanna Gaines' silence on this Target ordeal and explain why it's so important for these famous Christians and longtime Target collaborators to speak out against what Target has been supporting. We also give a message to those expressing animosity over the Republican pri

  • Ep 811 | How Biden’s Helping China Take Over the World | Guest: Peter Schweizer

    24/05/2023 Duration: 41min

    Today we're joined by Peter Schweizer, American political researcher and author of many books including "Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win," to talk about the U.S. government's corruption surrounding China. For a long time, global elites have told us that the U.S. merging closer with China is a good thing, but that's been proven to be categorically wrong. This merging has only made those same elites richer, and they continue to do things like help build the Chinese military. We discuss the Biden family's ties to China and why they're so important (and often misrepresented as less drastic than they really are). The truth is that every single deal the Biden family made with China was with an individual with deep ties to the CCP's spy apparatus. We talk about what we're really giving up when we do business with China and cover TikTok, the NBA, and college campus corruption as well. Then, we look at how China pushes progressive policies in the U.S. to weakens us, while not allowing those

  • Ep 810 | Detoxifying Your Life: Birth Control, Cleaning Chemicals & Fake Food | Guest: Shawna Holman

    23/05/2023 Duration: 50min

    Today we're joined by Shawna Holman, founder of A Little Less Toxic, to discuss her story of learning to build a less toxic life and share tips on how we can take steps in the same direction. Shawna shares her story of struggling through illness and endless antibiotic treatments, only to find that lifestyle changes would ultimately help heal her body. We discuss Shawna's approach to both simplifying your life and also making your home less toxic, even if it starts with eliminating just one toxic cleaning product. We talk about the "crunchy" movement and why the "all or nothing" mentality can overwhelm rather than help. We also discuss the balance of modern medicine – while we're overprescribing and overmedicating, modern medicine is saving lives. How do we find a good balance and correct answers to our health questions? Then, how toxic is birth control, and which methods are safer than others?

  • Ep 809 | The 'Trad' Movement Isn’t Biblical

    22/05/2023 Duration: 01h03min

    Today, we're talking about a movement within both the secular and Christian Right, which has been called the "trad" movement or, in some cases, the "Red Pill" movement. It perpetuates views that could easily be seen as hateful toward women. Many of the men in this movement complain about women and equate masculinity with physical fitness and ultra self-sufficiency. In some of these circles, these men emphasize the importance of finding a traditional, service-oriented, submissive wife. But it's not just men. Twitter and TikTok are littered with "trad" women complaining about feminism and claiming to be the antidote to it as "trad" wives while simultaneously representing some of the worst forms of feminism themselves: being loudmouthed, using foul language, and showing off their bodies in a way that is by no means traditional. We talk about why this is not a biblical view of women and why this actually perpetuates hate toward them. We take another look at those in the Christian patriarchy crowd who think only m

  • Ep 808 | Lauren Daigle Has "No Idea” About Abortion Law. Is That Ok?

    18/05/2023 Duration: 53min

    Today we're talking about popular Christian figures Lauren Daigle and Chris Pratt, who both separately found themselves in the news recently. In an interview promoting her new album, Lauren Daigle was asked what she thought of her state's abortion laws. Her response was that she didn't know and couldn't comment on it. This isn't the first time she's chosen not to address hot-button cultural issues. We discuss the ongoing trend of Christians believing that God is too harsh and mean and that we need to downplay it by playing dumb or refusing to learn what the Bible actually says. This essentially just creates an excuse for Christians to be ignorant about what the Bible actually says. On the other hand, Chris Pratt was asked about his faith during a movie premiere, and his answer is shockingly encouraging coming from a mainstream celebrity. Then, Biden recently claimed that white supremacy is the greatest threat to our nation. We explain why this is not only untrue, but also shameless pandering. We take a look a

  • Ep 807 | 'Loving the Foreigner' Means Opposing Illegal Immigration | Guest: Barry Latzer

    17/05/2023 Duration: 01h13min

    Today we're talking about the crisis at the border after Title 42 expired and immigration parole, as well as why Biden's immigration policies are so dangerous for our country. We look at the overcrowding issues at the border, as well as why we seem to see mostly grown men immigrate rather than women and children. Then we're joined by Barry Latzer, emeritus professor of criminal justice and author of "The Myth of Overpunishment: A Defense of the American Justice System and a Proposal to Reduce Incarceration While Protecting the Public," to discuss the failures of the justice system. We talk about the myth of over-punishment in the prison system, recidivism, and who is really paying the price for weak progressive policies on justice. We also look at the cases of Jordan Neely and Daniel Penny and why the system has failed both of them. We discuss some possible solutions, as well as why mental health services and psychiatric wards aren't actually that helpful to those suffering from mental illnesses, which create

  • Ep 806 | Justice for Maple: A Story of Pit Bulls & Political Corruption | Guest: Holly Simon

    16/05/2023 Duration: 01h01min

    Today we're talking to Holly Simon of Lawrence and Louise about a tragic pit bull attack that left her beloved cow Maple dead and the city corruption that unraveled following the incident. Holly shares the harrowing story of finding Maple dead in a lake and seeing the dogs run off, as well as the dog owners' refusal to take responsibility. Now, thanks to corrupt city prosecutor Rita Watkins, they continue to go unpunished, and one of their deadly dogs is still free to continue to terrorize their neighborhood. We take a look at why this is not an isolated incident when it comes to pit bulls and give you the opportunity to help this family seek justice not just for themselves, but for their community.  You can email the Fort Smith Board of Directors here: BoardofDirectors@FortSmithAR.gov You can email Carl Geffken directly here: CGeffken@FortSmithAR.gov --- Timecodes: (01:30) Intro (06:30) The attack (15:40) Confronting dog owners (28:50) Evidence (36:08) Dog owners' link to city prosecutor (39:42) Ongoing

  • Ep 805 | One Year of My Target Boycott (And They're Queerer Than Ever)

    15/05/2023 Duration: 01h01min

    Today we're talking about the one-year anniversary of our Target boycott. Last year, Target announced it would start selling chest binders amid its "Pride Month" collection, which was a step too far. We look back at Target's decision and how dangerous and damaging it is to encourage gender confusion in this popular brand for young people. We look at Target's Corporate Equality Index rating and why the corporation cares more about being progressive than about pleasing its customers. This seems to be reflected in its stock downfall over the past year, though some have presented inflation as the reason for that. Then, we take a look at this year's Target Pride collection, which includes items for ... babies?! We discuss how this ideology is not loving in any way, but rather just a cruel affirmation that people are a mistake, and we share what message would actually be loving to these people. We also share an encouraging Mother's Day message for those who are not mothers, no matter the reason: Your highest callin

  • Ep 804 | My Mom on Mothering Toddlers, Teens & Adults | Guest: Lisa Simmons

    11/05/2023 Duration: 46min

    Today we have a very special Mother's Day guest – Allie's mom! She's here to talk about raising children from babies to adults. We start out with some advice for mothers of babies and toddlers: you can't do everything, and that's OK. We talk about the pressure to have it all together and how quickly it will all go by. We also discuss how raising children can be categorized into three six-year segments, and we go through some advice for each segment. We'll share some stories from childhood and give some advice to the mom who is scared to have kids. We hope this episode encourages all you moms and moms-to-be out there! --- Timecodes: (00:51) Interview begins (01:35) Advice to moms of kids ages 0-6 / you can't do everything (07:14) Time goes by quickly (12:18) Advice to moms of kids ages 6-12 (17:32) Sleepovers, friendships & bullying (22:59) Devices & social media (24:44) Advice to moms of kids ages 12-18 / curfews (39:26) Advice to moms of adults (41:12) Grandparents (43:55) Advice to the mom who is scared

  • Ep 803 | The Science Behind Screen Addiction | Guest: Dr. Nicholas Kardaras | Part 2

    11/05/2023 Duration: 56min

    Today we're joined again by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, psychologist and one of the country’s foremost addiction and mental health experts, to discuss screen addiction and the dangers of screen time on our brains. We start off with some of the science of how screens affect our brains, hindering the development of our prefrontal cortex, and the social contagion aspect of social media with the rise of TikTok "ticks," trans anxiety, depression. Ultimately, Dr. Kardaras explains why what he calls "toxic psych metrics" are spiking. We also talk about the differences between television and tablets/phones and why screen time in the past had vastly less dramatic effects than screen time these days does. We discuss the rise in ADHD diagnoses, hyper-fragility, and forming our identities around the internet. What are the consequences of our reality being online, and is it too late for parents to correct their kids' screen time habits? We'll cover these questions and more.

  • Ep 802 | Inside the Mind of a Mass Shooter | Guest: Dr. Nicholas Kardaras | Part 1

    09/05/2023 Duration: 01h09min

    Today we're joined by Dr. Nicholas Kardaras, psychologist and one of the country’s foremost addiction and mental health experts, to discuss mass shootings, incel culture, and video game violence. We start off with an update on the Texas shooting that took place last weekend and the strange details about the shooter's online history that have come out (which are still being investigated). We discuss how incel culture began as a well-intentioned lonely hearts support group and morphed into an online breeding ground for angry people. We go through some of the ideologies espoused by mass shooters and talk about how search algorithms create a sense of egocentric narcissism, causing people to believe they're the center of their digital world. We argue that while it's worth talking about guns, mass shootings are rooted more in societal and psychological issues that need to be addressed. Then, we ask why these shootings are almost always perpetrated by men and address whether violent video games have anything to do w

  • Ep 801 | Don’t Fall for Weaponized Empathy

    08/05/2023 Duration: 52min

    Today we're talking about the atrocious shooting at an outlet mall in Allen, Texas, that took place Saturday. We go through the horrifying event, which took the lives of eight people, and explain why the conversation surrounding gun violence needs to be addressed in good faith by both parties, yet the Left doesn't seem to want to do that. We also look at the media response to the shooting, which – surprising no one – was filled with reporters very quickly building a narrative. Many liberal outlets almost immediately claimed from an anonymous source that the shooter had white supremacist roots despite not even being white. While the event is still being investigated, those reports seem to be largely unfounded at the moment. We also discuss big upcoming changes in our immigration system that will see a massive wave of migrants at the border. Then, we take a look at a CNN article that attempts to gain sympathy for a woman who was forced to carry her baby to term due to Florida's abortion restrictions. The woman

  • Ep 800 | Anthropologie: Women’s Clothes for Men

    04/05/2023 Duration: 47min

    Today we're starting with a hot topic in the news: the death of Jordan Neely, who was put in a choke hold on the New York City subway after becoming erratic and throwing garbage on passengers and allegedly threatening violence. Many, including AOC and Ayanna Pressley, are calling this a racially motivated incident, though there's no proof that it was. Vigilante justice may not be the answer, but New York City officials have surely shown no motivation to make New York safe for its citizens, as crime often goes unpunished. Then, we take a look at a Senate bill from Texas that would protect children from gender transition. We take a look at some of the people protesting this kind of bill and talk about how it's only absolute creeps who vehemently fight for the "right" for kids to "gender transition." We also look at a recent Minnesota proposition that would remove language from a current law saying pedophilia is not a sexual orientation, essentially implying ... that it is? We'll also look at some great legislat
