Show notes

In this episode, we provide an answer to the question that is on the minds of countless graduates this month—and has been asked by almost all of us at one point or another. In a special Commencement Address last year, Mike explained why we are convinced the answer to finding God's will comes down to just four simple words. This advice is as timeless and practical as it is totally at odds with today's conventional wisdom. See if you agree. SHOW NOTES: Commencement Address (Mike Johnson, May 8, 2021)

Episode 6: How to Address Race in America (A Conversation with Congressman and Super Bowl Champion Burgess Owens) Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Because the issue of race has been increasingly weaponized by the Progressive Left to divide our country, many people are doing their best to avoid the subject all together. But the need for truth and thoughtful conversation now is as important as it has ever been. In light of these developments, how should Christians and conscientious Americans, of all colors and creeds, approach the issue of race in our country today?

Mike discusses all this with his good friend and colleague, Congressman Burgess Owens (R-Ut.), who is a leading voice on the subject. What are the keys to healing the current divisions in our culture, and truly loving our neighbors as ourselves? These insights will encourage you.

Episode 5: How Should Christians FIGHT? Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

There is a great amount of confusion today regarding whether and how Christians should be engaged in the fateful battles being waged in our culture. Some argue believers should simply retreat and "turn the other cheek," while others insist we should annihilate our enemies. There may be no better time to address this important question than during this week—between Palm Sunday and Easter—when Christians all over the world are reflecting upon the sacrifices, the suffering, the model, and the Passion of Jesus. The right approach for Christian engagement seems counterintuitive today—but it has never been more essential. This episode discusses that approach and includes excerpts from the message Mike delivered on this subject several days ago at the giant Answers for Women Conference in Kentucky.

Show notes

The Biden Administration just announced a shocking decision to rescind the strongest remaining tool to deter the flow of illegal migrants into our country (Title 42), which will make the most destructive border crisis in American history far worse. As the catastrophe grows, Mike and Kelly present what every freedom-loving American urgently needs to know RIGHT NOW to thoughtfully address this topic. They also explain exactly why all people of faith should support strong border security, and the simple way to correct the Left's claim that such a position is "un-Christian."

Show notes

Here's an important question: If you had just 2 minutes to convince a young person wearing a "PROUD PROGRESSIVE" t-shirt why conservatism leads to far better outcomes for individuals, communities, and our nation—WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? While the Left insists conservatism is dying, and the Right has grown increasingly disoriented, Mike and Kelly provide important answers to the mounting challenges and confusion. They explain in clear terms exactly why the conservative philosophy remains the key to saving our country—and they present a simple summary that every freedom-loving American can use to better understand the issues and skillfully defend the truth.
