On this episode of the Give Me Liberty Podcast, Ryan Helfenbein sits down with Sarah Gabel Seifert, founder and CEO of EveryLife, America's first pro-life diaper company, to discuss motherhood, America's collapsing birth rate, and the culture's growing hostility toward family and children. Sarah shares why she launched the “Rethink Pregnancy” initiative alongside pro-life OBGYNs, how modern feminism has taught women to fear motherhood, and why pregnancy is not a burden to escape but a gift from God. The conversation dives into:The anti-family agenda in corporate AmericaWhy companies funding abortion contradict their own customer baseAmerica's demographic decline and collapsing birth rateThe spiritual and physical benefits of motherhoodPain, sacrifice, and purpose in family lifeWhy “find God, get married, make babies” is becoming a countercultural messageIn a world that increasingly treats children as obstacles and pregnancy as a disease, this episode is a bold defense of life, family, and God's design for men and women.

The Conservative Party in the UK lost because it stopped conserving anything. They opened the borders. Expanded government. Embraced globalism. Then acted shocked when voters abandoned them .Reform UK is rising because millions of Britons feel politically homeless.

It's becoming a debate about whether America is good.”Watch the full conversation as they discuss constitutional government, political power, the future of Virginia, and the battle over America's identity heading into the nation's 250th anniversary.

Virginia's Supreme Court did the right thing. In 2020, 65% of Virginians voted for an independent redistricting commission to stop partisan gerrymandering. Now Democrats are reportedly discussing changing the retirement age for justices so they can remove the judges who ruled against them.

For decades, Clarence Thomas stood almost completely alone on the Supreme Court. Now his dissents are becoming the majority opinions of the Court. Free speech.Religious liberty.Gun rights.Administrative power. Thomas spent decades defending principles others feared.He was right.

The gerrymandering war is back.Red states are redrawing. Blue states are redrawing. For decades, districts were drawn based on race in the name of “fairness.”Now the Court is saying that may violate equal protection.That changes everything.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) built its brand exposing “hate.”Now the DOJ is exposing that they were paying to keep it alive. Turns out manufacturing hate was a lucrative business model.

Artificial Intelligence is changing everything, but most Christians aren't asking the right question. It's not just about productivity, convenience, or innovation .It's about discipleship.In this episode of the Give Me Liberty Podcast, we sit down with Erik Reed—pastor, co-host of the Bully Pulpit podcast, and co-founder of Dominion AI—to talk about the rapid rise of AI and what it means for the Church, the family, and the next generation. Kids aren't Googling anymore—they're asking AI. And the answers they receive aren't neutral. We discuss:Why AI is shaping worldview more than most realizeThe hidden bias behind today's most popular AI toolsHow technology is replacing traditional authority structuresWhy many Christians are unprepared for this momentThe real dangers—and real opportunities—of AIWhat it looks like to “redeem” technology instead of rejecting or blindly accepting itIf the Church doesn't engage, build, and lead in this space, someone else will. And they already are.

America is obsessed with living longer.But we've forgotten how to live well. A dying man is reminding this country how to live.Are we listening?

When someone writes a manifesto, names targets, and acts on it, believe it. Suggesting everything is a conspiracy only provides cover to those who hate you and want you dead. We keep pretending this is a “both sides” problem. It's not. At some point, patterns matter.

California is spending taxpayer dollars on gender procedures for illegal immigrants. The people designing these policies won't feel the fallout.That's what makes them “luxury beliefs.”

We're told immigration is the solution to demographic collapse.But what if it's a response to something deeper?If you abort millions of your own future citizens…Don't be surprised when leaders try to replace them.

Why are so many pastors bold on some issues, but silent on others?In this episode of Give Me Liberty, Katy Faust (Them Before Us) exposes the “sin of partiality” infecting the modern Church, where leaders fear the cultural left, soften biblical truth, and abandon clarity when it matters most.From “luxury beliefs” to the collapse of the family, this conversation dives into:Why pastors avoid the hardest cultural issuesHow silence is shaping the next generationThe connection between truth, courage, and real revivalWhy children, not adults, must be at the center of the family debateIf the Church won't speak clearly, the culture will, and it already is.Watch, share, and stand unashamed of the truth.Learn more at https://www.standingforfreedom.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freedomcenterlu/ Twitter: https://x.com/freedomcenterluInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/freedomcenterlu/

We went back to the moon for the first time in 50+ years.And once again, the heavens declared the glory of God. We can explore the heavens, but we didn't create them.The further we go, the clearer that becomes.

The Dignity Act promises compassion.The problem? Compassion without order is not justice. When the law is optional, dignity dies.The one who bears the greatest consequence is the dying American citizen.

Iran fires missiles hours after agreeing to a ceasefire.This is the Iranian strategy. The real question: why do we keep pretending this regime can be trusted?

Good Friday isn't “good” because of what Jesus suffered.It's good because of what His suffering accomplished.Justice was satisfied. Sin was paid for. Grace was offered.

The Pope says no one can use Jesus to justify war.But Scripture says rulers don't bear the sword in vain.So which is it: absolute pacifism, or justice against evil?

Dr. Bill Lile joins the pod to expose the real dangers of mifepristone, the abortion pill that's being pushed as "safe and simple."  He breaks down how it works, the serious risks to women (heavy bleeding, infection, emergency surgery), the truth about abortion pill reversal, and why every pregnancy involves two patients who both deserve protection.If you care about protecting women and unborn children, this episode is a must-watch.

In 2025, anti-Jewish hate crimes hit record highs, nearly 70% of all religious hate crimes. Meanwhile, we're told the greatest threat is “Islamophobia.”One is measurable and rising. The other is used to silence debate.

America First doesn't mean pretending Iran hasn't been at war with us since 1979.Iranian-backed terrorists have killed Americans for decades. Destroying a regime that exports terror and strengthens the China–Russia axis isn't “interventionism.” It's deterrence. Strength prevents bigger wars.

Iran wasn't always an Islamic theocracy. It was once the Persian Empire — the civilization of Cyrus the Great. So how did a 2,500-year-old civilization end up ruled by Ayatollahs calling for the destruction of the West?

A federal building in Washington now carries Charlie Kirk's face. Alongside Franklin, MLK Jr., and Booker T. Washington. The Department of Education honored the man who challenged America's universities and paid the ultimate price for it.

Another mass shooting. This time in Texas. The suspect was a naturalized U.S. citizen who entered legally and passed background checks. Paper citizenship is not the same as cultural assimilation. Our system can create citizens on paper. But does it create Americans?

Operation Epic Fury killed Iran's Supreme Leader and struck nuclear and missile sites across the country. This isn't nation-building. It's deterrence.Now the world watches. Christians should pray for justice, restraint, and protection for innocent lives.

Puerto Rico now recognizes unborn babies as victims of homicide when a pregnant woman is murdered.So here's the question:If it's a child when wanted, but “tissue” when unwanted, what does that reveal about the legal system?

The Constitution begins with “We the People of the United States” — not “anyone who shows up.”The SAVE Act protects election integrity by requiring proof of citizenship. Only Americans should decide America's future.

We're not allowed to notice the pattern, but transgender violence is becoming a trend, not a fluke.What happens when ideology rewards rage and rejects reality?

If government can punish “prejudice” toward Islam,it can punish dissent toward anything. That's not public safety.That's viewpoint control.The Bill of Rights was written to stop this.

Virginia Democrats just blocked a bill requiring medical care for babies born alive after failed abortions. This isn't “reproductive rights.” It's refusing care to living infants.The culture of death is no longer hiding.

Hillary Clinton says MAGA is waging a “War on Empathy.”But she's not afraid of MAGA — she's afraid of Christians learning biblical discernment.Weaponized emotion is losing its power.That's the real threat.

Trump just forced Minnesota Democrats into a trap: cooperate with federal law and admit enforcement is legitimate, or obstruct ICE and own the consequences. This isn't retreat. It's political chess.

Medical trust collapses when profits come before patients. Paying doctors bonuses for hitting vaccine targets creates a system that rewards compliance over individualized care — and parents deserve to know when money is influencing medical advice.

For 60 years, courts used a fake standard of “neutrality” to purge God from public life. That era is ending. Louisiana and Texas are fighting to restore them to classrooms as courts reconsider decades of bad precedent.

Post-Dobbs reality check: the abortion industry is winning legislatively, chemically, and culturally, while the pro-life movement fights a civil war between Incrementalists and Abolitionists. Unity isn't optional anymore. Babies are still dying.

Davos is where global elites launched the Great Reset. Trump walked into that room and announced permanent U.S. access to Greenland, control of critical minerals, and Western sovereignty. Standing in the globalists' capital, Trump said it plainly: America is back.
