Talking with a Living Firebrand Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

Webster's defines firebrand as "a person who is passionate about a particular cause, typically inciting change and taking radical action."

Out of everyone I've known and worked with in the conservative movement in Alaska, I can think of nobody who fits that description more than my good friend Judy Eledge. As President of the Anchorage Republican Women's Club and now working with the Dunleavy Administration on childhood literacy in Alaska, Judy is as staunchly pro-life and pro-family as she is Republican.

She understands and is guided by the issues that matter most. And she is an absolute hoot ! I hope you'll join me today and come to appreciate her Texas charm and energy many of us have loved for a long time.

Chatting with Glen Biegel Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

I'm honored today to speak with my good friend Glenn Biegel on Family Matters.
Glenn is a long-time radio talk-show host, community activist and political strategist that Alaska is blessed to have as a citizen.

Among other things, we'll talk about how important it is that a shift is occurring within the non-profit world in Alaska that is empowering people to do ministry again. For way too long in this country and state, the Government has been at the forefront of "ministry" when the church and its members have always been much better equipped to address this community challenge.

Raising Up Modern Day Daniels in Homer Jan 09, 2020

Show notes

In Homer, Mark Edens is serious about influencing Government for the good. In fact, as a Pastor at Regent Life Church, his sights are "heavenly" with a community-wide initiative to transform culture and raise up modern-day Daniels at the end of the Kenai Peninsula. We couldn't be more enthusiastic about what he and other Christ followers are doing to influence this area of Alaska for God's glory.
His "Heaven in Government" meetings are bringing churches together to "hone up on local politics, pray for elected officials, network with fellow believers and brainstorm ways to transform their city." You can read more about it at the Alaska Watchman HERE and you can join us today on Family Matters for my interview with Pastor Edens.

My Chat With Alaska's Newest State Senator - Josh Revak Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

Today on Family Matters, I'll be chatting with Alaska's newest State Senator, Josh Revak. Representing South Anchorage, Revak replaces Senator Chris Birch who passed away unexpectedly. A veteran and musician, Revak is an even keeled conservative walking into a very fragmented Legislature. He is seen as a critical vote on both sides of a divided Senate but who will he stand with ?

A Blue State Victory Over Planned Parenthood Dec 20, 2019

Show notes

Today on Family Matters, I'll be interviewing Michael King, Director of Community Alliances for the Massachusetts Family Institute. We'll be discussing the recent victory in the Bay State to keep Planned Parenthood's radical sex ed curricula out of public schools in Worcester, the second biggest city in the state. The victory proves that even in a very blue state, when parents stand up...change can happen. You won't want to miss this conversation.

Did God or Government Invent Marriage ? Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

Today on Family Matters, I'll be interviewing David Fowler, President of Family Action Council of Tennessee and the creative and legal mind behind an effort called God Given Marriage. This initiative will be the first effort of its kind to remove from Government the power to control and redefine marriage and give it back to the people. It will be a fascinating discussion about how and why Biblical marriage supporters should stay engaged in an issue that God cares deeply about. Hope you can tune in !
