The GenJ Podcast

This week, the Homeschool Legal Defense Association announced the appointment of a brand new president, Jim Mason! Jim will succeed the organization's longtime president Mike Smith, one of the co-founders of HSLDA (and a past guest on The GenJ Podcast!). When we first recorded this interview, Jim Mason was still Vice President of Litigation at HSLDA. But during post-production, the announcement of the leadership change went into effect as Mike Smith retired after years of faithful service to the organization. In that light, this interview takes on new significance as a glimpse into the heart and mind of HSLDA's new president.We hope you enjoy this episode with Jim!  If you enjoy this episode, go ahead and give us a great review and a 5 star rating!

Happy New Year! Before Christmas, Daniel got the chance to sit down with Wendy Wright (President of Christian Freedom International) and discuss Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (the Supreme Court case currently challenging Roe v. Wade). There has been a lot of buzz and plenty of fear-mongering about this case, so we wanted to dive into the details and talk about what's actually happening. Wendy also shared insightful analysis regarding the significance of this moment for the pro-life movement and the importance of multifaceted strategies to achieving the goal of protecting babies from the violence of abortion. Listen to this episode and share it with anyone who could use some clarity about this case and the Supreme Court process. Other topics include: Wendy's pro-life history (and how she ended up in jail!), how Christian Freedom International helps persecuted Christians around the world, and the work facing pro-life Christians in a post-Roe v. Wade world.  Wendy Wright is the president of Christian Freedom International and an influential pro-life activist whose faithful advocacy on behalf of the unborn has put her in media headlines, in front of world leaders, and, more than once... in jail.We are grateful for Wendy's willingness to sit down for this interview in the middle of her busy December, and we hope you find it helpful and encouraging!If you do, go ahead and leave us a review and a 5 star rating!

In this episode, Daniel chats with the president of the Homeschool Legal Defense Association, Mike Smith! Mike co-founded HSLDA in the 1980s when homeschooling was a bit like the Wild West (except, less on the "wide, open spaces" side and more on the "full of hold-ups and horse thieves disguised as overreaching government officials" side). In the middle of this burgeoning movement, Mike Smith teamed up with Mike Farris to offer homeschool families affordable legal protection and representation all the way up to the Supreme Court if necessary! In the interview, Mike gives a fascinating perspective on how the homeschool movement has changed and grown from the 80s to today. Other topics include: Mike's sports career in college basketball and golf, lawyer jokes, how Mike was disappointed by his mother's lightning speed as a child, and the one area that Mike believes to be the most important factor in ministry, work, and family dynamics. Mike is a man of deep faith and it shines through in this interview. His years of executive experience have given him deep insights on leadership and human nature. And his sense of humor and positivity are sure to make you smile. If you enjoy this episode, go ahead and give us a great review and a 5 star rating!

Welcome to Season 2 of The GenJ Podcast! We made it! Seriously, thanks to all of you who joined us last year--and a warm welcome to those of you who are just discovering it now. As we begin this new season, a storm is a-brewin' in Washington, D.C. It's focused in the United States Senate, and at the center of it is an old legislative mechanism called The Filibuster. For having such a funny sounding name, the filibuster is currently at the center of some serious debates between Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans, and as of this week, even President Biden has weighed in.GenJ's Daniel Heffington is joined by Joel Grewe (Director of Generation Joshua) and Glenn Bertsch (GenJ Programs Administrator and general Senate guru) for this discussion. This episode covers a lot of ground, but it starts off with the basics: what is the filibuster, how does it work, and why should we care about it? By the end of today's show, you'll know how the filibuster began (it wasn't always around), the role it's served in the American experiment, and how both Democrats and Republicans have used the dubious and terrifyingly-named "nuclear option" on it in recent years. You'll also get some context for why the far left is calling it "racist" and why some conservatives fear that removing it could break the legislative branch as we know it.  If you find this episode helpful, go ahead and leave us a review and a 5 star rating!
