The Jacob Kersey Program

Gender ideology has spread to nearly every aspect of our lives—education, religion, government, even sports —and is undermining the biological reality of male and female. “Gender identity,” untethered from our bodies, is fast replacing this reality. On March 17 2022, a University of Pennsylvania swimmer named Lia Thomas, a biological male who competed from 2017-2019 on the University of Pennsylvania men's swim team as Will Thomas, became the women's NCAA champion for the 500-yard freestyle event. Will was an average swimmer—ranked No. 462 in the nation—until he decided he was actually a woman and took a few months of hormone suppressants to prove it. The biological women who have worked tirelessly for years to get to this point where they could compete for an NCAA championship title, were denied the opportunity when a male athlete decided to transition to a woman. Women and children are at risk to lose their safety, security, and equality due to the radical agenda of trans activists. Concerned Americans can't stop praying and can't stop being involved and educating themselves so they are best equipped to protect the biological reality of manhood and womanhood. Someone recently said it this way: Womanhood is not puberty blockers, lipstick, clothing, or surgery. It is a biological reality and should be protected, not redefined. The best women are not men. The best women are women. Dr. Jay Richards is Director of DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family and the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in Religious Liberty and Civil Society. He joins Jacob Kersey to respond to the most common arguments made by transgender activists. The Heritage Foundation believes that neither federal lawmakers nor courts should have the power to redefine what it is to be a man or a woman for all Americans.Learn more here:https://www.heritage.org/gender#The Daily Signal provides policy and political news as well as conservative commentary and policy analysis.

On Tuesday April 26th I received an email from YouTube that one of my episodes with Heritage Foundation expert Hans von Spakovsky was being removed for “misinformation”. They stated that they “think” that my conversation with Hans on election integrity “violates our misinformation policy” So just how did my content violate their misinformation policy? YouTube explains:How your content violated the policyContent that advances false claims that widespread fraud, errors, or glitches changed the outcome of the U.S. 2020 presidential election is not allowed on YouTube.I want to note that our discussion did not include who we think won or didn't win the 2020 election. Rather, we stated that there are legitimate concerns of voter fraud in the nation, and that they happen on the federal, state, and local levels. Now YouTube went on to said and I quote “Because it's the first time, this is just a warning. If it happens again, your channel will get a strike and you won't be able to do things like upload, post, or live stream for 1 week.”YouTube wants to silence any discussion about voter fraud. And apparently they consider themselves to be the authority on this issue. However, YouTube is not the great arbiter of truth and should refrain from acting as if it is.YouTube reversed their decision AFTER a Daily Signal Exposé by journalist Douglas Blair was published.You can read that here: https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/04/27/youtube-bans-video-featuring-conservative-expert-on-voter-fraud/Hans von Spakovsky is the Heritage Foundation's Manager Election Law Reform Initiative and Senior Legal Fellow, Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. President Donald Trump appointed von Spakovsky to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in 2017. He is an authority on a wide range of issues—including civil rights, civil justice, the First Amendment, immigration, the rule of law, and government reform. He also wrote an article addressing the actions of YouTube. https://www.dailysignal.com/2022/04/29/youtube-u-turn-censors-strike-again-for-no-good-reason-just-as-inexplicably-reverse-course/Find the YouTube video that was removed here: https://youtu.be/2iQW5jLmYyoDiscover more resources on Election Integrity here: https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity#Sign the pledge to fight back against big tech here: https://secured.heritage.org/sign-thf-big-tech-petition/?utm_campaign=bigtechpetition&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=%7B%7Bplacement%7D%7D_%7B%7Badset.name%7D%7D_%7B%7Bad.name%7D%7D_%7B%7Bad.id%7D%7D_purchop&fbclid=IwAR3ya0zg-uWk0ewD7I5Jq7ZeCRaU5liTUMt3mvm0BtMzNT-ZO21YMypI_M4The Jacob Kersey Program.‘live truth, speak truth'@realjacobkersey

What happened to my passion for Jesus? Why do I not feel enthusiastic about my faith anymore? How do I rediscover it? The world is full of things vying for our passion. Yet, the earth is temporary. How tragic would it be if we spent all the time we have on this earth pursuing a passion for something that matters not in light of eternity. In this episode Jacob Kersey talks to Jeff Dawsey and Tim Smith about the fight against indifference and the fight for passion. Not passion for work, not passion for food, not passion for a boyfriend/girlfriend, or spouse. I want to talk about passion for your faith, for Jesus. Our battleplan to regain or discover our passion for Jesus:1. Reading the Word. Faith comes by hearing and that's not just at conversion. It is an everyday thing“Consequently faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the preached word of Christ.” -Romans‬ ‭10:17‬ ‭NET‬‬2. Pray and examine yourself. Have others examine you.“Examine yourselves to see if your faith is genuine. Test yourselves. Surely you know that Jesus Christ is among you; if not, you have failed the test of genuine faith.” -2 Corinthians 13:5 NLT3. Walk with others who desire a closer relationship with Jesus.“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” -Acts 2:46-47 ESVJeff Dawsey is the Student and Collge Pastor at Compassion Christian Church Downtown in Savannah, Georgia.

The greatest of all Greek heroes, a half-god of superhuman strength and violent passions, the epitome of bravery, masculinity, and strength. Ladies and gentlemen Universal's Hercules, who is played by the talented Kevin Sorbo, joined Jacob Kersey on this episode of the Jacob Kersey Program.The left is on a mission to silence and destroy Christian conservative voices in America. Surprised? Don't be. We were told by our Lord and Closest Friend Jesus that we would experience this. He said in John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭”I have told you these things so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble and suffering, but take courage – I have conquered the world.” Author George Yancey documented in his book So Many Christians, So Few Lions, that approximately 32 percent of all Americans like Christian conservatives significantly less than other social groups. Compare that to approximately the 31 percent of Americans that like Muslims significantly less than other social groups. He also looked at academia by asking academics if they would be less willing to hire someone who is an evangelical. Almost two in five said that they would be less willing to hire an evangelical. “The academics answering my survey explicitly stated they would discriminate against a job candidate who is a conservative Protestant. “Bold, outspoken Christians, individuals who stand for a biblical and conservative worldview will face pressure and discrimination from the secular world. We must be willing to accept that if we hope to be effective. Sorbo sacrificed his career in Hollywood because because he decided to speak his mind and stand for a Christian worldview. Anti-Christian, anti-conservative discrimination isn't going away any time soon, instead it is growing. How should Christian conservatives deal with this reality? Sorbo answers this question and more in this episode of the podcast.Sorbo is an actor, director, producer, and author.@ksorbs on Twitter.http://www.kevinsorbo.net/The Jacob Kersey Program ‘live truth, speak truth'@realjacobkersey

Freedom of speech is a fundamental part of American society. The reality is that it is and has been under attack for quite some time. And guess where a lot of that speech occurs? You guessed it. College. College shapes countless lives which shape communities which in turn shape the nation. And freedom of speech on college campuses across the nation is under attack. Perhaps you listening are or were a college student. Maybe you are a parent or friend of a college student. Chances are there is a college student in your life and whether you like it or not, our nation is affected by what takes place on college campuses. Free speech. It is a freedom we Americans were born with, a right given by God to every human. It reinforces all other God given rights and it allows a nation to develop and progress, to overcome the mistakes of the past. The freedom to express our minds, our thoughts, and opinions is essential to bring about positive change in any society. Yet our God given right to express ourselves through language is in jeopardy. There are many on the left that see it as a threat to their power and that they must do everything they can to hinder it. They realize that if you control language, you control thought. And if you control thought, you control the nation itself. Justine Brooke Murray joined Jacob Kersey to discuss free speech on college campuses, antisemitism, and the left's grooming of America's children. All this and more in this episode of the Jacob Kersey Program.Justine is a Booking Assistant at One America News. She used to be a New York Campus Correspondent for Campus Reform.

Since 2020, Christians churches have had to navigate the rough waves of COVID-19. Covid brought no shortage of problems, questions, and controversy and there has been at times fierce debate within the church about how to handle the pandemic. Some Christians claim that the principle of “loving our neighbor” demands that the Christian community support Covid-19 restrictions. But does love require believers in Christ to stay home, wear masks, and take the vaccines? How can we best show the love of Christ for each other and for the world while still standing for truth?Dr Tim Yonts is an adjunct professor of philosophy at Liberty University. He holds a Master of Divinity from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary and a Ph.D. In Christian Ethics from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. (twitter @yaboiyonts)

There is a necessary ingredient for our American society to endure and that is a moral and religious people. When the American colonies declared independence in 1776, they established as their foundation for a free republic the “Laws of Nature and of Nature's God.” They looked to an eternal stable moral foundation as the bedrock of their new system of government. Why is it important that Christians do not retreat from voting and being involved and outspoken in the political process? Should Christians view it as their duty to vote? What are some reasons Christians shy away from being active in our political process and why are they wrong?William Wolfe and John Wesley Reid joined me at CPAC to answer these questions and more.William Wolfe is a 10 year veteran of the conservative political movement and he served as a Senior Official in the Trump Administration as a deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense at the Pentagon and a Director of Legislative Affairs at the Department of State.

Why should I get involved in the political process? Can I really make a difference? What ways can I help fight for liberty and conservative ideas in my community, state, and nation? Where do I start?

In this episode, Jared Eckert and Jacob Kersey discuss the so-called ‘Equality Act'. But if the ‘Equality Act' is passed, there won't be room for any more discussion. The bill would mandate a single viewpoint of sexual orientation and gender identity. Parents who do not wish their child to have gender reassignment surgery would ultimately not have to give their consent. Employers would be forced to provide medical coverage for gender reassignment surgeries. And women and girls would lose protections in traditionally women spaces since the bill would allow biological males into women's restrooms, locker rooms, and sports.

Challenge after challenge, test after test, struggle after struggle.In the midst of all the pain, struggle, doubt, confusion it is good to remember that we only get stronger when we are put to the test. No one likes the story of the one who made it to the top by being handed everything; everyone loves the story of the underdog, the overcomer, the one who rose above the challenge, the one who went from struggle to strength.Jesse Iwuji joined Jacob Kersey to discuss going from struggle to strength in this episode.

There are many things COVID-19 has dramatically changed. One of these is education. The upcoming academic year is facing the possibility of dramatic change. Students aren't certain whether they will be attending school in-person or endure another round of online schooling. One group of students that especially has been concerned are international students. A now rescinded ICE rule change would have forced international students to either transition to a school that was offering in person classes or self-deport.

2020 has presented many challenges. One major issue we are facing once again is the issue of addressing racism. Our nation was plunged into another national discussion about racism as a result of the death of George Floyd after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes.

Thus, it can be a difficult conversation but it is an important conversation to have.On this episode, Dr. Frank Turek joins Jacob Kersey to address the sin of racism and its cure.
