Every Vote Counts: Why Local Elections Matter with Jim Walsh & Leslie Lewallen Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

These so-called “off-year” elections shape far more than we realize—our schools, taxes, safety, and freedoms are decided at the local level. In this episode, I’m joined by Washington State GOP Chair Rep. Jim Walsh and Camas City Councilwoman Leslie Llewellyn to talk about why turnout is so low, how we can change it, and what happens when people of faith engage. If you’ve ever wondered whether your vote really counts, this conversation will leave you ready to make a difference.

Fan Mail Friday: Faith Over Fear and Finding Strength in Every Season Oct 31, 2025

Show notes

Hey, friends! It’s Fan Mail Friday, and today we’re diving into your questions about homeschooling through heartbreak, raising boys without a dad in the home, finding time to rest, and walking out forgiveness when life gets messy. We’ll also talk about why your voice matters in this election season and how faith—not fear—should guide us in every decision. No matter what season you’re in, God is still sovereign over your home, your family, and your future. Stay faithful, stay engaged, and remember—you were born for this time in history.

Send in the Feds with Brandi Kruse Oct 29, 2025

Show notes

Portland has become ground zero for a movement the media calls “just an idea.” In this episode, I unpack what Antifa really is—its roots, tactics, and why weak leadership and non-prosecution policies have turned cities like Portland into safe harbors for chaos. Journalist Brandi Kruse joins me to share first-hand reporting (including a recent assault while on the job), expose media spin and political cowardice, and talk about what it will take to restore order. We’ll challenge Christians to pray, vote, defend what’s good, and support honest journalism. If you love the PNW, it’s time to get off the bench.

Sound the Alarm: A Biblical Response to the New Anti-Semitism Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

I’m recording from the road in Canton, Ohio, because this can’t wait. We’re watching anti-Semitism re-enter mainstream discourse, and it’s more than politics—it’s a theological drift. I walk you through Scripture (Romans 11, Genesis 12:3), explain how “replacement theology” sneaks in under trendy slogans, and call the Church to clarity, courage, and civic stewardship. Bring your Bible and a pen—this is a wake-up episode.

Addicted to the Story: When Romance Becomes a Counterfeit with Elise Orozco Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

You guys, this is a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time. My guest today, Elise Orozco, is joining me to talk about something that’s quietly affecting a lot of women—erotica and so-called “romance” fiction. Elise shares her honest story of how it pulled her in, what it did to her marriage and walk with the Lord, and how God set her free. We’re talking about why this matters, what it does to our hearts, and how to find true intimacy the way God designed it. It’s a powerful and hope-filled conversation you don’t want to miss.

Israel, Prophecy, and the Promise That Still Stands — with Pastor Phil Hopper Oct 17, 2025

Show notes

The headlines out of the Middle East can feel overwhelming—but God’s Word has already told us how to think and live in times like these. My friend Pastor Phil Hopper joins me to unpack Bible prophecy with clarity: Israel’s place in God’s plan, why “everlasting” means everlasting, the third-temple conversation, and how to spot hype without falling for date-setting. This isn’t about fear—it’s about readiness. Grab your Bible, lean in, and be encouraged: Jesus is coming, and our hope is secure.

Born for This: Honoring Charlie Kirk and Living with Courage Oct 15, 2025

Show notes

Today we’re honoring what would’ve been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday—a life marked by courage, faith, and conviction. I’ll share clips from Turning Point’s tribute and reflect on the lessons Charlie left us: start where you are, speak truth boldly, and build something that lasts. You were born for this time in history—so get off the bench, step into your calling, and let your faith speak.
