Fan Mail Friday: When Your Adult Children Make Choices You Wouldn’t Aug 14, 2026

Show notes

What do you do when your adult child is dating someone you’re concerned about, walking away from what you taught them, or simply pulling away from the family? Today I’m talking about the difficult shift from authority to influence and what it looks like to speak truth, keep the door open, and trust God with the outcome. I’m also answering your questions about biblical rest, small compromises, enabling family members, surrendering the family you imagined, and finding purpose when your homeschooling years come to an end.

The Road to November: When Did Courage Leave the Pulpit? Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

The American Church wasn’t always afraid to speak into the governance of our nation. So what happened? I’m joined by Troy Miller, President and CEO of National Religious Broadcasters, to talk about how Christians were pushed out of the public square, why pastors need to rediscover courage, and what’s at stake if believers continue to disengage. We don’t need a quieter Church. We need a courageous one—and November is coming.

Truth Shouldn’t Be Controversial Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

From women’s sports and what’s in our food to childhood vaccines and newly released Fauci texts, today we’re asking a question Americans have every right to ask: Who can we trust? These stories all come back to truth, transparency, and our willingness to ask hard questions.

Tuesday in Ten: America Is Being Changed From Within Aug 11, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a nation stops defending the values that made it free? Today I’m looking at what’s happening in Dearborn, Michigan, the growing influence of Islam in America, and why Christians need to pay attention to what’s happening in our communities, our government, and even our military. With the midterms approaching, this is not the time to sit on the sidelines. God is sovereign, so we don’t live in fear—but we are called to be wise, courageous, prayerful, and willing to stand for truth.

Clothed in Christ: A Better Conversation About Modesty with Caroline Saunders Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

Modesty has become one of those topics that can make people either shut down or speak up—and often for all the wrong reasons. For too many women, it's been wrapped in guilt, shame, and legalism. But is that really what the Bible teaches?

Today I'm joined by author Caroline Saunders for a refreshing conversation about what it truly means to be clothed in Christ. We talk about purity culture, raising daughters with wisdom instead of fear, and why our identity in Jesus—not a list of rules—should shape the way we think about clothing. If you've ever struggled with this topic or wondered how to have these conversations with grace and truth, I think you'll be encouraged.

Fan Mail Friday: Is Your Church Avoiding the Hard Truths? Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Is your church willing to address the issues Christians are facing today, or is it avoiding the conversations that matter most? Today I'm answering that question along with your questions about trusting God after tragedy, caring for aging parents without neglecting your marriage, understanding difficult passages in the Old Testament, waiting on God's timing, recovering from disappointment in Christian leaders, and whether church membership still matters. If you've been looking for biblical wisdom to navigate today's culture with courage and conviction, this episode is for you.

Road to November: The Cost of Sitting on the Bench with Mike Solan Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

What happens when good people decide it's easier to walk away than to stand and fight?

In this episode of Road to November, I'm joined by former Seattle Police Officers Guild President Mike Solan to talk about what happens when citizens disengage from local politics. Mike shares his firsthand experience leading through the chaos of Seattle's defund-the-police movement, the intimidation his family endured, and why he believes Christians must stop sitting on the sidelines and start engaging where it matters most.

We discuss the importance of local races, the danger of voter apathy, why your ballot is your voice, and how faith should shape our willingness to serve our communities. If you've been wondering whether one vote can really make a difference, this conversation is for you.

No One Is Coming to Save Your Health with Corey McIlveen Aug 05, 2026

Show notes

For too long we've been told that someone else is responsible for our health. But what if it's time to start asking better questions? Today I'm talking about the MAHA movement, why Christians should view health as an act of stewardship, and what I discovered after testing the water in my own home. Then I'm joined by Corey McIlveen from Sentry H2O to discuss what's really in our drinking water, what "safe" actually means, and practical steps you can take to make healthier choices for your family. Plus, I'll show you how to check your own local water quality report at ewg.org/tapwater and see what's really in your drinking water.

Tuesday in Ten: What the Wildfires Are Really Telling Us Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

The smoke hanging over the Pacific Northwest is impossible to ignore, but what if the real story isn't just about the fires? Today I'm talking about stewardship, leadership, and why the decisions we make at the ballot box have real-world consequences. As Washington voters head to the polls and communities battle devastating wildfires, it's a timely reminder that elections matter and faithful stewardship begins long before a crisis. I'll also share an exciting update about my new book, Holding Fast in These Last Days.
