Podcasts about Alliance Defending Freedom

We don't usually think of guilt as a good thing. Our culture tells us to push it down and never feel bad about our choices. But what if a guilty conscience is actually a gift? In this episode, Kirk and James dig into the two very different ways people respond when they know they've done something wrong. One leads to freedom and peace. The other leads to editing the truth in your own mind, cutting out the parts that make you look bad until you believe your own version of the story. They talk about why owning your part takes real courage, what scripture says about the truth always coming to light, and why repentance is so hard but always worth it.

Alliance Defending Freedom sues Washington state over alleged assault of female wrestler by trans opponent. Man attacks signature gatherer, steals voter data. State lawmaker cries during ethics hearing.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 9, 2026. We open with President Trump's declaration that the U.S. will achieve total victory over Iran within two weeks — and we dig into what that actually means. Iran just shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. Both pilots survived and were rescued by an unmanned drone in the first such rescue of U.S. service members in history. We work through the tensions in Trump's statements — between declaring victory in two weeks and talking about trillions of dollars in infrastructure reconstruction — and ask whether those two things can both be true at the same time. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Iran shot down a U.S. Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz — both pilots bailed out safely and were rescued by an unmanned drone in a historic first. Then Vice President J.D. Vance sent a criminal referral to the DOJ urging prosecution of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for covering up Medicaid fraud, intimidating whistleblowers, and directing state employees to stop investigating fraud in Somali immigrant communities to avoid accusations of racism. And Carmelo Anthony has been convicted of murdering high school track star Austin Metcalf — who was stabbed in the heart with a knife Anthony had hidden in his backpack at a Texas track meet after refusing to leave a rival school's tent when asked. We get Dr. John Eastman — former attorney for President Trump and former California attorney general candidate — on the phone to explain why Spencer Pratt was eliminated from the Los Angeles mayor's race after holding second place on Election Day. Eastman explains California's universal mail-in ballot system, the notoriously dirty voter rolls full of dead people and illegal immigrants, the practice of runners harvesting ballots from apartment mailboxes, and the statistical impossibility of a ballot batch update in which 24,000 votes were counted and zero — literally zero — went to a candidate who had been pulling about 30% throughout the count. He also explains why the courts in California refuse to accept statistical anomalies as evidence of fraud and why the system has been deliberately designed to make post-election proof nearly impossible to obtain. And he connects it all back to the founding principle — the only legitimate government is one based on the consent of the governed, and consent can only be given through free and fair elections. We also cover new information from Jim Jordan's congressional hearings showing that the Biden Justice Department met with the Southern Poverty Law Center on a quarterly basis, treated them as a credible source, and used their designations — which labeled the Family Research Council, Moms for Liberty, and the Alliance Defending Freedom as hate groups — to inform federal law enforcement decisions. The Richmond FBI memo suggesting pro-life Catholics could be linked to extremism? The sourcing came from the SPLC. We explain why this matters to everyone regardless of party — because when a government starts investigating viewpoints instead of crimes, nobody is safe. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether someone with an OnlyFans page can ever expect to get a husband — prompted by the news that Denise Richards joined OnlyFans after her own daughter did. We get into why the platform combines the two things people most want — money and fame — while delivering neither happiness nor lasting value, and why the basketball player's wife who kept her page secret for five years until her husband found out and divorced her is the most honest version of where that road ends. We dig into Washington D.C. public school sex education — which has apparently stopped using the terms male and female to describe human biology in order to avoid conflicting with gender ideology. We note that this is being done in what some consider the most educated city in America, and compare it to trying to teach geography without using the words continent or ocean. For our Bright Spot, Meta has announced America's Workforce Academy — a cost-free, five-week training program with an initial $115 million investment that will train fiber technicians, welders, plumbers, electricians, and other skilled trade workers and guarantee jobs for all graduates. Mike Rowe calls it an important step in the right direction. We call it exactly what it is — a private company solving a public problem without waiting for the government to screw it up first. And we close with the crew of Artemis 3 — Colonel Randy Bresnik, Colonel Frank Rubio, Commander Andre Douglas, and Italian astronaut Colonel Luca Parmitano — announced by NASA this week for the upcoming lunar landing mission expected to launch in late 2027. And an Air Canada pilot who flew commercially for 17 years without a valid pilot's license — proof that AI isn't the original scam. People have been fooling each other since the beginning of civilization. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

California has transformed into a single-party monopoly where the legislative, executive, and judicial branches actively subvert the will of the voters. Through lax voting laws, ballot harvesting, and a lack of voter identification requirements, the state has institutionalized a system where early conservative leads are routinely erased weeks after Election Day.  The controversy surrounding Spencer Pratt, Nithya Raman, and the Los Angeles mayoral race is connected to a broader pattern that crushes democracy every time, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.”

Welcome back #everyone to the Courageous Leadership with Virginia Prodan podcast!

‘Experiment'California was the most beautiful state in the country until left-wing politicians took over the state and claimed it for their progressive experiment. More than 11 million Californians have fled, unable to shoulder the burden of record-breaking gas prices, homelessness, expansive welfare programs, and a failing education system. The solution? Cut taxes, clean up homelessness, cooperate with law enforcement, increase oil development, and tackle voter fraud. Californians may have a chance at returning to paradise if they show up at the polls, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words

Attorney General Dave Yost reflects on 25 years in Ohio politics This is Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost's final week in office. He announced last month he is stepping down to take a job as the vice president of strategy for the Christian, conservative legal group, the Alliance Defending Freedom. Yost could not run for re-election to the attorney general office because of term limits. He planned to challenge for the Republican nomination for governor, but the Ohio GOP and President Donald Trump threw support to Vivek Ramaswamy early on in the process effectively ending Yost's primary chances. He leaves with six months left in his term. Gov. Mike DeWine tapped Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Andy Wilson to serve out the rest of Yost's term. Tuesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll hear from Ideastream's Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler, who recently sat down with Yost for an exit interview for the "State of Ohio" on WVIZ-PBS. Yost reflected on his quarter-century in Ohio politics, why he decided it was time to leave for the private sector and why this opportunity was the right one for him. Guests:- Dave Yost, Attorney General, State of Ohio- Karen Kasler, Bureau Chief, Ideastream Statehouse News Bureau New research predicts rising temperatures will increase heat-related heart disease Extreme heat can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other serious cardiovascular events, particularly among older adults and people with existing heart conditions. As summer temperatures begin to climb across much of the country, researchers are taking a closer look at what that could mean for public health. A new study from Case Western Reserve University, University Hospitals and the Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center projects that as climate change leads to more frequent extreme heat events, heat-related heart disease could increase by 200% nationwide over the next 25 years. To end the hour, we'll talk with two of the researchers behind the study about what they found, who could be most affected and what can be done to reduce the risks.

It's Wednesday, May 27th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Canadian group penalized for targeting Christians LifeSiteNews reports that an activist group in Canada recently lost its government funding after being exposed for targeting Christians. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funding each year. Conservative lawmakers have called out the group for its hostility to Christians and pro-lifers.  Campaign Life Coalition posted on X, “The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is reportedly out of Canadian Heritage funding. This is welcome news. For years, Canadians have been forced to subsidize an activist organization that has helped fuel suspicion and hostility toward Christians, pro-lifers, and other peaceful citizens.” Only 34 percent of Canadians say Bible is authoritative Lifeway Research released its new State of Theology in Canada Study. The survey found 51 percent of Canadians say that religious belief is not about objective truth. Only 34 percent believe the Bible has the authority to tell us what we must do.  A majority of Canadian adults believe God accepts the worship of all religions, that most people are good by nature, and that the Bible is not literally true.  Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research, noted, “For most Canadians, the Bible's teaching on how to live is only as convincing as the Bible itself. When half openly doubt the Bible, it is not surprising that the majority disagree with the Bible on how it says to live.” Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law.” Alaska could expand access to Abortion Kill Pill In the United States, Alaska passed legislation last week that could expand access to the Abortion Kill Pill. House Bill 195 would allow pharmacists to prescribe drugs to individuals, not just administer them.  Pat Martin is the director of Alaska Right to Life. He warned that the measure would “expand Chemical Abortion (Mifepristone) access from Anchorage and Fairbanks Planned Parenthood sites to virtually every city, town, and village that has a hospital, clinic, or pharmacy.” Romans 3:15-18 says, “Their feet are swift to shed blood; in their paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Hawaiian officials in hot water for censoring free speech Officials in Hawaii agreed to pay over $100,000 to settle a free speech lawsuit last week. The Babylon Bee sued the state over its law that censored online political speech. The Christian news satire site won a similar case in California last year with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom. Seth Dillon, the CEO of The Babylon Bee, commented on the recent victory in Hawaii. He said, “This settlement marks yet another victory for the First Amendment and for anyone who values the right to speak freely on political matters without government interference.” Buying power of U.S. workers fell by 3% Pew Research released a report on American wages compared to the rising cost of living. In the past 20 years, wages have outpaced inflation. Based on the Consumer Price Index, the median wage's real buying power grew by 12.1 percent between 1999 and 2025.  However, over the past five years, the buying power of median wages actually fell by over three percent. This aligns with record inflation levels in recent years.  Weekly churchgoers have better mental health And finally, the Wheatley Institute published a report entitled, “The Religion and Mental Health Connection.” The report reviewed thousands of studies linking religion to better mental health by a 10-to 1 ratio. Studies found the rates of suicide, depression, and anxiety were lower among people who attended religious services. This was especially true for people who attended services at least weekly.  The report stated, “It is not nominal affiliation, but committed religious involvement that appears to matter most.” Hebrews 10:23-25 says to Christians, "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, May 27th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

It's Monday, May 25th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian families in WA state are free to serve as foster parents To settle a lawsuit brought by a Washington state couple, state officials agreed to a permanent injunction allowing Christian families to serve as foster parents without promoting so-called “gender ideology,” reports Alliance Defending Freedom. Washington's Department of Children, Youth, and Families has agreed to settle a lawsuit over its policies excluding religious families. The state had enacted a new policy requiring all families to use a child's chosen pronouns, don't you know. The state then declined to issue Shane and Jennifer DeGross a full license under this policy because of the couple's Christian objections to socially “transitioning” children that may be placed in their care, between the ages of 2 and 18. Jennifer DeGross said this on Fox News. JENNIFER DEGROSS: “In 2022, we were going through our relicensing process and realized that the state had updated some of their rules regarding foster parents. One of those rules was requiring us to adhere to their ideology regarding gender identity and while we said that we would love and care for any child in our home, those were requirements we just could not abide by as Christians.” In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, “Surely, you have read in the Scriptures: When God made the world, 'He made them male and female.” Johannes Delphonse, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “Washington's policy failed to respect religious diversity because it singled out applicants with traditional religious beliefs on the sanctity of the human body.  The DeGrosses merely asked to be treated the same as any other family—without being asked to compromise their core beliefs. “This is a win-win because it will ensure more families can serve as foster parents to help meet the needs of every precious child in Washington's foster-care system.” Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, resigns Tulsi Gabbard is resigning from her post as Director of National Intelligence to support her husband, Abraham, through his battle with "an extremely rare form of bone cancer," reports Fox News. She said, “I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.” Gabbard notified President Donald Trump during a meeting in the Oval Office this past Friday. Her last day is expected to be June 30. In her formal resignation letter, Gabbard says she is "deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the opportunity to lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for the last year and a half." During her tenure, Gabbard became one of the most controversial and transformative intelligence leaders in recent memory. She spearheaded efforts to reduce the size of the intelligence community bureaucracy, dismantle diversity and equity programs inside federal intelligence agencies, and declassify hundreds of thousands of pages of government records tied to major historical and political investigations. Among the most significant disclosures were records connected to the Trump-Russia investigation, the JFK and RFK assassinations, and the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane probe. MS NOW panel claims SC blacks to be 'disenfranchised' by GOP And finally, MS NOW host Chris Jansing presided over a discussion of GOP efforts to redraw South Carolina's congressional districts in which her Democrat guests claimed that blacks are being "disenfranchised" in South Carolina, reports Newsbusters.org. She offered this melodramatic introduction in her interview with South Carolina State Rep. Kambrell Garvin, a black Democrat. JANSING: “Today, a dramatic warning about voting rights from one North Carolina state senator who told Politico the entire South is on fire. Jim Clyburn accuses Republicans of creating Jim Crow 2.0. Is he right?” GARVIN: “Absolutely, Chris. It's starting to feel more like 1966 and not 2026. So, you're talking about over a 100-year period where black folks in South Carolina did not get a chance to have a voice, did not get a chance to have a seat at the table. And now we are facing a situation where it might be another 100 years where African Americans will not be able to have a voice.” Laughably, neither Chris Jansing nor Rep. Garvin remembered to point out that South Carolinians have elected and re-elected Tim Scott, a Republican black man, as one of their two United States Senators. Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky was equally blind in her condemnation of South Carolinian voters. ROGINSKY: “You are now about to see complete eradication of black power in Congress. It is precisely because of these kinds of places. White voters will not vote for black representatives. I call it racism, but the reality is the reality, which is that we are going to have many, many, many fewer representatives of color.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, May 25th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Every statewide executive office in Ohio is on the ballot in 2026, and not a single incumbent is defending a seat. Term limits cleared the building all at once. In this solo episode of Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, Radell Lewis walks through the entire Ohio ballot, from the top of the ticket down to the competitive congressional districts, so you know exactly what you are voting on. Governor: Dr. Amy Acton vs. Vivek Ramaswamy. U.S. Senate: Sherrod Brown vs. Jon Husted. Plus Attorney General, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, two Ohio Supreme Court seats, and the U.S. House districts most likely to decide which party controls the chamber. Then we get into a week of Statehouse news that shows exactly what kind of fight this is going to be. Attorney General Dave Yost's surprise resignation to join the Alliance Defending Freedom, Gov. Mike DeWine's appointment of Andy Wilson as interim attorney general, and the open question of what happens to the FirstEnergy bribery prosecution. The Ohio GOP power struggle, as gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramaswamy sets the agenda on a voter ID constitutional amendment and a Medicaid fraud plan while the sitting governor reacts. HB 698, which would tie public college funding to compliance with Senate Bill 1. A federal plan to open thousands of acres of the Wayne National Forest in southeast Ohio to fracking. And Ohio's data center sales tax break ballooning to roughly $1.6 billion, far beyond the state's own forecast, while the savings flow to Amazon, Meta, and Google.

What does a dark, twisted superhero show have to do with the Bible? More than you'd think. Kirk Cameron breaks down why The Boys has captured nearly 57 million viewers per episode, and why its brutal honesty about corruption, fake heroes, and the hunger for power actually lines up with what Scripture has been saying for thousands of years. This one goes deep. Don't miss it.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 21, 2026. We open with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's message to New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani — you can be an ideologue all you want, but at some point you have to compete, you have to produce, and you have to deliver results. We use that framework to explain exactly why democratic socialism fails every single time it is tried, why the mayor of Seattle just apologized to Starbucks after threatening to drive them out of the city, why Delaware is hemorrhaging corporate headquarters to Texas and Tennessee, and why the people left behind when productive citizens and businesses vote with their feet are always the ones who can least afford to be abandoned. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, former Cuban dictator Raul Castro has been indicted in a U.S. federal court for murder and the destruction of two private planes belonging to Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue, shot down over international airspace in 1996. Then Louisiana became only the second state in the country to receive the Department of Education's Returning Education to the States waiver — freeing up $18 million in federal education dollars for direct classroom use over four years, with Secretary Linda McMahon saying Louisianians know best how to serve their students, not bureaucrats in Washington. And a Canadian man living in Massachusetts has been charged with illegal voting after admitting he has voted in U.S. elections since 2008 — meaning he voted illegally in five presidential elections, including the most secure election in American history. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle whether girls are meaner to their moms than their dads — and land somewhere warm and true. We talk about the prom moment where a daughter snaps at her mother and then asks her father for a picture, the four-page love letter that same daughter wrote her mom on Mother's Day, why moms are the soft place to land which means they also absorb the worst of the shrapnel, and why one mama's daughter-in-law used to cry watching friends be rude to their mothers — because she would have given anything to have one. We dig into the Texas case of a man who ordered abortion pills online, crushed them, and mixed them into a pregnant woman's drink without her knowledge — killing her unborn child and now facing murder charges. We explain exactly why this case is the inevitable consequence of the FDA's 2023 decision to allow mifepristone to be dispensed by mail without a doctor ever seeing the patient, why this specific scenario is impossible when the drug must be administered in person by a physician, and why the FDA needs to reverse its decision immediately. In our Digging Deep segment, a former managing assistant U.S. Attorney named Carmen Lineberger — who worked on Jack Smith's investigation into Donald Trump's handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago — has been indicted for stealing sealed documents from that very investigation and emailing them to herself disguised as a cookie recipe and a Bundt cake recipe. We explain what makes this story so extraordinarily revealing — a member of the team that prosecuted a president for allegedly mishandling documents allegedly stole documents herself, renamed them dessert recipes, and sent them to her personal email. We also connect her history of pro-DEI advocacy and racial justice work at the DOJ, and make the case that this is not irony — it's the deep state in action. We also cover the FBI dismantling a major Indian call center fraud scheme that stole nearly $1 million from American senior citizens — and call it exactly what it is: putting Americans first doesn't just mean border walls, it means protecting the most vulnerable of our people from predators anywhere in the world. For our Bright Spot, the state of Washington settled a lawsuit brought by foster parents Shane and Jennifer DeGross — represented by Alliance Defending Freedom — after the state denied their foster license renewal because they wouldn't affirm that children can change their biological sex. The settlement requires Washington to revise its licensing policies to respect religious families' deeply held convictions and prohibits the state from attaching conditions to a foster license based solely on religious beliefs about marriage, gender, or sexual relationships. The state also paid $250,000 in attorney's fees. We ask the question nobody at the state agency apparently asked — what is best for the children? We also cover Congresswoman Nancy Mace's proposal to ban naturalized citizens from serving in Congress — and while we understand the frustration that motivated it, we call it what it is — a law of unintended consequences that would tell millions of legal immigrants who became Americans the right way that they can never fully participate in self-government. We draw the line at dual citizenship, not at the immigrant. And we close with Lexi McClellan — a second grade teacher who took a special interest in a seven-year-old foster child named Mary, watched an adoption fall through, stepped forward with her husband to become Mary's foster parents, and filed adoption papers within months. Lexi said it felt like God had led it, like she was meant to be in her life. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

This episode of the Mandy Connell Show is a thought-provoking conversation that delves into the importance of remembering our past and its relevance to the present. Deborah Flora sits in for Mandy Connell and discusses a range of topics, from the 25th anniversary of 9/11 to the current state of American society. Deborah shares her personal experiences and insights on the significance of remembering historical events, such as 9/11, and how they shape our understanding of the world today. She also explores the current state of American society, including the rise of socialism among young people and the importance of teaching Judeo-Christian principles in schools. The conversation also touches on the topic of religious literacy and how it affects our understanding of American history and values. The episode also features a discussion on the recent case of Jefferson County School District, where parents are fighting for their right to know about their children's overnight accommodations on school trips. Deborah talks to Vincent Wagner from Alliance Defending Freedom about the case and its implications for parental rights and religious freedom. As Deborah wraps up the episode, she shares some encouraging news about the younger generation, highlighting a study that shows a significant increase in young people buying Bibles and returning to their faith. She emphasizes the importance of hope and faith in shaping the future of our country and encourages listeners to tune in to the full episode to hear more about these topics and how they relate to our daily lives.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Emilie Kao, senior counsel and vice president of advocacy strategy for Alliance Defending Freedom and member of the Parental Rights Foundation Board of Advisors, joins us to discuss her article “Preserving Childhood: Dependency, Consent, and Parental Rights in Healthcare,” featured in The State of Parental Rights in America. Emilie explores the legal foundations of parental rights in healthcare decision-making, the Supreme Court's parental rights precedent, and the historical understanding of childhood dependency and parental responsibility.The conversation also examines the rise of the “mature minor” doctrine and its growing role in healthcare policy. Emilie discusses how policy-driven consent standards developed, the major areas where the doctrine is most frequently applied today, and the tension between parental authority, state interests, and adolescent autonomy. She also explains why these debates matter for families, healthcare policy, and constitutional protections moving forward.The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, President of the Parental Rights Foundation.

On this extra-strength episode, our hosts, Flint, Alyx and Ashleigh try something a little different. We have many (but not all) of our usual format points but our entire episode this week is dedicated to a single premise: sports science is complicated and bans on trans participation in sport make no sense.  NOTE: You may not care for sport, you may not be interested in it. That is fine and valid, but we would implore you to nevertheless give this episode a try and particularly our interview with Sheree Bekker & Stephen Mumford, two scientists who have some fascinating insights about the social construction of sport and how patriarchy still rules the roost in places like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other sports organisations. We take a look at:  The IOC is to introduce SRY gene sex testing for all entrants competing in the female categories for all events. Parkrun finds itself caught in the Eye of Sauron. Sorry, I meant legal threats from the Alliance Defending Freedom. Our interview mentioned above for the Meat USA Powerlifting finds itself in Loser's Corner. Some tips for fighting back in Action Alley And finally our usual palate cleanser of Trans Joy.

Four years ago, Republicans stood on the floor of Congress and told the American people that the FBI used FISA - this secret surveillance court - to spy on Donald Trump. They were right. Kevin Clinesmith doctored evidence to keep the Carter Page warrant alive. The whole thing was a setup. And this week, those same Republicans voted to hand that exact same unreformed tool back to the FBI for three more years. No warrant requirement. No new safeguards. Nothing. I want to talk about why that happened, what's inside the classified court opinion that a sitting senator just forced into the open, and why, regardless of which party you voted for - your texts may already be in this database.SPONSOR: Lear CapitalWith gold and silver hitting all-time highs and forecasts pointing higher, Lear Capital is helping people protect their wealth with physical precious metals.

From legal battles over church-state separation to coordinated efforts in the courts, Peter explains how conservative Christian activism became a sustained political force.We also explore the difference between the religious right as a movement and Christian nationalism as an ideology, including how it shapes policy, culture, and debates around religious liberty, education, and LGBTQ rights. Organizations like Alliance Defending Freedom and initiatives like Project 2025 are part of that broader strategy.Finally, we talk about what it looks like to engage these issues without losing perspective, and why understanding the people behind the movement matters as much as understanding the movement itself.Right Wing Watch: https://www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwatchGuest BioPeter Montgomery is the Research Director at People For the American Way and a senior analyst for Right Wing Watch.

It's Thursday, April 30th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Algerian authorities have shut down virtually all Protestant churches Muslim authorities in Algeria, Africa have shut down nearly all Protestant churches in the country since January 2025. The finding comes from a new report by the European Centre for Law and Justice.  Algeria's Christian community has been steadily growing since the 1990s. Most of these believers are evangelical Protestants. However, the North African country imposed restrictions on non-Muslim worship in 2006. And most Protestant churches lost their legal status in 2012. These Christians now have little to no freedom of expression in the Muslim-majority nation. The report stated, “Any expression of Christian faith may be regarded as . . . an offence against the precepts of Islam, and may result in prosecution.”  In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Kenyan court rejects abortion as a “right” A court of appeal in Kenya  ruled against abortion last Friday. The court struck down a 2022 high court ruling that declared abortion was a constitutional right.  However, the constitution of the East African nation states that every person has the right to life and that life begins at conception. Last week's ruling affirmed that abortion is not a fundamental right.  Calum Miller, a pro-life doctor and ethicist, wrote on X, “This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.” United Arab Emirates wants exporting oil independence The United Arab Emirates, which borders Oman to the east and northeast, and Saudi Arabia to the southwest, is withdrawing from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC. The major oil producer made the announcement Tuesday and plans to withdraw on May 1. OPEC has limited the United Arab Emirates' oil production to about three million barrels per day. The Emirates wants to reach five million barrels a day by next year as global demand increases.  OPEC is led by Saudi Arabia. The group used to control over half of the world's oil production. Now, it controls less than a third of the production. The United States has become one of its biggest rivals in recent years. King Charles III emphasizes Christian faith before Congress Britain's King Charles III addressed the U.S. Congress in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday. It's the first time a British monarch addressed Congress since Queen Elizabeth II did so in 1991. King Charles emphasized international cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom as well as the shared faith of the two nations. Listen. CHARLES: “Mr. Speaker, for many here, and for myself, the Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration that guides us, not only personally, (applause) guides us not only personally, but together as members of our community.” “So, to the United States of America, on your 250th birthday, let our two countries re-dedicate ourselves to each other, in the selfless service of our peoples, and of all the peoples of the world. God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.” (applause and cheers) Psalm 33:12 reminds us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His own inheritance.”  Supreme Court ruled in favor of Christian pregnancy centers The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a group of Christian pregnancy centers yesterday.  The ruling allows First Choice Women's Resource Centers to challenge the state of New Jersey in federal court. State officials hit the pro-life group with an unconstitutional, coercive subpoena.  Attorney Erin Hawley with Alliance Defending Freedom said, “In this resounding victory, the Supreme Court held to its long-standing precedent of recognizing that the Constitution protects First Choice, and its donors, from demands by a hostile state official to disclose donor identities and contact information.”    Protestantism's net gain in Latin America And finally, Pew Research released a report on how religious switching has affected Protestants and Catholics. Religious switching refers to when an adult identifies with a religion that is different from the one they were raised in.  Catholicism has lost more people than it gained from religious switching in nearly all surveyed countries. People who leave Catholicism tend to become Protestant or religiously disaffiliated.  Meanwhile, Protestantism has seen a net gain in about as many countries as it has seen a net loss. In particular, Protestantism has had a net gain in Latin America, which is comprised of 20 countries, primarily Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

The Southern Poverty Law Center built an extensive reputation by calling out “hate” around the country. This week, the DOJ charged it with laundering money to White Supremacist groups to keep the donations rolling in. Jeremy Tedesco of Alliance Defending Freedom joins the show to unpack the DOJ's legal claims, the group's reach, and its work to censor conservatives at home and abroad.

It's Wednesday, April 15th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark British street preacher criminally investigated for Gospel proclamation A pastor in Britain has suffered months of criminal investigation for street preaching. Police arrested Pastor Dia Moodley for his Christian speech in Broadmead, Bristol last November. He faced arrest previously in 2024 for simply commenting on Islam and transgender ideology.  Pastor Moodley is considering legal action against the police with the help of Alliance Defending Freedom International. He said, “I merely preached the Gospel to all people out of love for God and my neighbor. For the police to suggest I cannot do this in areas where Muslims are present sets a very dangerous precedent for free speech.” Two European courts ruled against abortion mill buffer zones European countries have tried to ban pro-lifers from helping pregnant women entering abortion mills. However, Evangelical Focus reports two courts in Europe have now ruled against such so-called “buffer zones.” A court in Germany ruled that pro-lifers did not break the law by displaying religious images near an abortion mill. Similarly, a court in Vienna, Austria ruled that peaceful prayer near abortion mills cannot be banned.  Besides these “buffer zone” laws, pro-lifers in Europe have also faced violent attacks in recent years for their peaceful demonstrations.  Court awards arrested pro-life activist $1 million In the United States, a Christian pro-life activist secured a one million dollar settlement against the Department of Justice last week. Back in 2022, federal agents raided the house of Mark Houck, a volunteer with 40 Days for Life. Authorities arrested him at gunpoint in front of his family. This happened after he protected his young son from an angry abortion escort.  With the help of 40 Days for Life Institute of Law & Justice, Mark challenged the actions taken by the DOJ under the Biden administration.  Listen to comments from Shawn Carney, CEO of 40 Days for Life. CARNEY: “Be not afraid. Go out. Peacefully pray to end abortion. This is a huge victory for free speech. It's a huge victory for all Americans who want our right to speak our minds peacefully in a law abiding way, without fear of our own government.” The early church prayed in Acts 4:29, “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word.” Alabama public school students allowed religious education Alabama recently authorized public school students to receive religious instruction during school hours.  Republican Governor Kay Ivey signed the Alabama Released Time Credit Act into law last Wednesday.  Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “Parents have the right and responsibility to guide the upbringing and education of their children. … [The law] respects parents' educational decisions, allowing public school children to be briefly excused from school to receive free, off-campus religious instruction taught by private charitable organizations.” 2 million new Americans engaged with Bible The American Bible Society released the first chapter of its 16th annual State of the Bible report last week. The report documented the rise of people who are curious about the Bible, known as the “Movable Middle.” They now account for 28 percent of the population, an increase of nine million people since 2024.  This segment of the population appears to have primarily come from those who were formerly disengaged with Scripture. And the disengaged have shrunk by five million adults over the last two years.  Christian astronaut glorifies God upon Artemis II re-entry Artemis II splashed down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California last Friday. The four NASA astronauts on board completed a 10-day mission, flying around the moon and back to earth. Forty-nine-year-old Victor Glover was one of the astronauts on board. He gave glory to God after the successful mission.  Listen. GLOVER: “When this started on April 3rd, I wanted to thank God in public, and I want to thank God again. Because even bigger than my challenge of trying to describe what we went through -- the gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did, and being with who I was with -- it's too big to just be in just one body.” Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Adam McManus: “A Great Awakening is one of the best films I've seen in 10 years!” And finally, on a personal note, I just came from having seen the Christian film A Great Awakening which documents the unique relationship between Benjamin Franklin, a deist, and English preacher George Whitefield. I was deeply moved by the film, and cried at a number of places. If you've not yet seen it, get your tickets today, because it's only in the movie theaters, across the nation, through tomorrow, Thursday, April 16.

C'est peu de dire que la peur fait désormais partie du quotidien des immigrés en Suède. Deux projets de loi sont en discussion et pourraient bien être adoptés d'ici l'été. L'un prévoit le renvoi de tout migrant en règle qui ne mène pas « une vie honnête », l'autre surnommée « loi de la délation » prévoit de demander aux administrations de dénoncer tous les sans-papiers.   Sentiment de malaise dans une partie du pays... alors que l'extrême droite pourrait rentrer au gouvernement après les élections de septembre prochain. C'est le reportage en Suède d'Ottilia Ferey.     Doit-on encore consommer du gaz russe? Non, a dit l'Europe en fixant une interdiction totale fin 2027... Mais deux pays ont jusqu'à maintenant fait de la résistance la Hongrie et la Slovaquie. Depuis le changement de régime à Budapest, le nouveau Premier ministre Peter Magyar a admis que se défaire de cette dépendance énergétique prendra du temps. Mais en Slovaquie, dirigée par le populiste Robert Fico, on a bien l'intention de continuer ces importations bien peu géopolitiquement correctes... Quand bien même, il n'y a pas non plus de logique économique derrière. C'est le reportage à Bratislava de Clémence Dubrana Rolin.     Les avocats de Dieu à Bruxelles  Les idéologues de la sphère Maga aux États-Unis ne cherchent pas seulement à influencer la politique européenne et les partis d'extrême droite. Ils veulent aussi marquer la société de leur empreinte, anti-avortement, anti-fin de vie, ou anti LGBTQ+. C'est le cas d'un très puissant lobby d'avocats américain que l'on trouve à Bruxelles,  Strasbourg, Vienne ou Londres : l'ADF, Alliance Defending Freedom, elle compte un certain nombre de membres très influents. C'est l'enquête de Maïté Warland et elle est publiée dans la revue d'investigation Medor avec laquelle nous sommes partenaires.  La chronique musique de Vincent Théval    Avec le groupe hollandais Altin Gün.

It's Tuesday, March 31st, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson and Timothy Reed Court awards Christian photographer $800,000 over discrimination Christian photographer Chelsey Nelson has scored an $800,000 settlement from the city of Louisville, Kentucky. That comes after city officials tried to force her to photograph and promote homosexual weddings. Bryan Neihart, Senior Counsel at Alliance Defending Freedom, worked on the case. His take is that “the government cannot force Americans to say things they don't believe. For almost six years, Louisville officials tried to do just that by threatening to force Chelsey to promote views about marriage that violated her religious beliefs.” Chelsey said she hoped people would see the reason she fought for her free speech, even if they don't agree with her. NELSON: “What I wish more of them would understand is that I'm actually fighting for their right to create consistent with their beliefs, even though it's a separate worldview and belief system from my own.” “My witness to my children is very important to me. I would hate for them to grow up and look back and see that their mom cowered on this issue because she feared man more than she fears God. So that was an incredible inspiration to me.” 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.” Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, & Germany embrace abortion and perversion the most The worst nations in the world for attitudes towards homosexuality and abortion are Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, and Germany. Sweden was the worst nation on all morality indexes. Nigeria, Kenya, and Indonesia maintained the highest moral conscience on moral issues, in this survey conducted by Pew Research. Of the 25 nations surveyed, the United States was the only country where the majority of the people surveyed considered their own nation as morally evil. Canada topped off as the most self-righteous nation, with 92% considering their citizenry to be morally good.  Trump shares Franklin Graham's evangelistic message on Truth Social U.S. President Donald Trump shared a letter on his Truth Social account on Sunday which had been sent to him by Evangelist Franklin Graham last October. Without any additional comment from President Trump, the letter from Franklin Graham contained a powerful evangelistic message, reminding him, “The only One who can save us from hell is Jesus Christ. You cannot save yourself. … The only way to Heaven is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. God requires of us to turn from our sins, and by faith, believe in our heart, that Jesus Came to Earth, died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and God raised Him to life on the third day.” The letter closed with Romans 10:9: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”  70% oppose sending Abortion Kill Pill in mail A large percentage of Americans oppose the Abortion Kill Pill being shipped through the mail. According to a new poll from CRC Research, 70% oppose abortion drugs being dispensed through the mail. Plus, nearly half of respondents say they would be less likely to support those who promoted the kill pills. Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, said, “Voters could not be speaking any more clearly on abortion drugs flooding the mail, driving up abortion rates and undermining protections for women and children. They recognize this is an urgent public health and safety crisis that demands a return to common sense, like in-person doctor visits that were required under the first Trump administration.” Job 36:6 says, “He does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the oppressed.” Beef and oil prices are spiking The price of beef is spiking as markets are volatile, oil prices remain high, and beef herds continue to diminish in the United States. In January 2026, only 86.2 million head of cattle were reported in the United States, the lowest number since 1951.  The war in Iran is also affecting the supply chain for fertilizer and oil, products the cattle industry relies upon heavily.  “Project Hail Mary” movie acknowledges God's providential control The film Project Hail Mary has topped the worldwide box office for two weekend in a row now. The Christian movie review organization, Movie Guide, touts the movie as “Christian” for its reference to a belief in God, and an acknowledgement of God's providential control over what happens. The story is about a school teacher who saves the world. Fox News called the film, starring Ryan Gosling, an anti-woke blockbuster. Megan Basham, Babylon Bee, and other conservative commentators gave the film a thumbs up.   Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 95% critics score, and a 96% audience score. And some say this may be the film that saves Hollywood.  The film has netted $300 million in two weekends. It's the top-grossing film of the year, thus far. However, parents should be warned that Focus on the Family reveals that God's name is used in vain 7 times, there are references to hooking up, and that the content is heavy for kids. The movie is based on the book by the same name written by Andy Weir which has been featured on the New York Times' best-seller list for 41 weeks in a row. He also wrote The Martian in 2011 which was adapted into the 2015 film of the same name starring Matt Damon and directed by Ridley Scott.  Another country music crossover into pop And finally, in pop media, country music is crossing over again onto the pop charts. Ella Langley, a Southern Baptist girl, made it to #1 on both charts with “Choosin' Texas.” The trend picks up with Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift's big hits from the early 2000s.

A shocking and heartbreaking headline takes center stage as allegations involving Joseph Duggar spark deeper questions about morality, hypocrisy, and the state of the human heart. In this Weekly Wrap-Up, we confront the devastating reality of abuse, the failure of legalistic religion, and why true transformation goes far beyond outward behavior. We also break down the escalating conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran and how rising oil and gas prices are impacting everyday life. Plus, we explore the growing concerns around artificial intelligence, cultural shifts in modern society, and the debate over glyphosate in our food system. What do all these stories have in common? They reveal a deeper need for truth, accountability, and lasting change from the inside out.

It's Thursday, March 19th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chine Communists continue to harass the church China's National People's Congress passed the innocuously named “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress” last week.  The new law requires the enforcement of a strong sense of Chinese identity across society. This would continue China's suppression of religious and ethnic minorities. It would also affect social organizations and churches.  International Christian Concern noted, “Christian home churches are an attempt to escape government scrutiny, but even they are often raided and their members arrested on charges of working against the interests of the state.” China is ranked 17th on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most oppressive countries to be a Christian.  Trump postpones trip to meet with Chinese President China will have to reschedule a meeting with the United States as the war in Iran continues. U.S. President Donald Trump said Tuesday he will postpone his trip to Beijing. The trip was scheduled for the end of the month. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping plan to discuss trade tariffs. The trade war between the two countries has been on pause since last October.  Commenting on the postponement, President Trump said, “Because of the [Iran] war, I want to be here. I have to be here.” Israel killed Iran's top security official on Monday Israel killed Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, in a strike on Monday. Larijani was likely running the country since U.S. and Israeli strikes killed Iran's supreme leader last month. The recent war has lasted nearly three weeks so far. President Trump told reporters yesterday that America's involvement in the war may be ending soon.  Listen. TRUMP: “We're not ready to leave yet, but we'll be leaving in the near future. We'll be leaving in pretty much the very near future. But, right now, they've been decimated from every standpoint. We've had great support from countries in the Middle East. Great support. But we've had essentially no support from NATO.” Paul Ehrlich, father of population control, died Paul Ehrlich, known as the father of population control, died last Friday at the age of 93. The biology professor and population scientist wrote the 1968 book, The Population Bomb. Ehrlich falsely claimed population growth would cause widespread starvation. He promoted the murder of unborn babies and mass sterilization to stem the alleged tide of overpopulation.  His work inspired governments and organizations to push contraception, abortion, and sterilization on the world.  Hebrews 9:27 says, “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” Scotland Parliament votes against legalized assisted suicide Scotland's Parliament voted Tuesday against a bill to legalize assisted suicide. The vote ends two years of national debate on the issue. Alisdair Hungerford-Morgan, Chief Executive of Right To Life UK, said, “This is a great victory for the most vulnerable in our society. They deserve protection and care, not a pathway to suicide. If this legislation had passed, countless vulnerable people would have been pressured or coerced into ending their lives.”  Moody Bible victorious in religious liberty case In the United States, a Christian college won its religious freedom case against the Chicago Board of Education. Previously, the city's public schools blocked The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago from participating in its student-teaching program. The college could only participate if it compromised its Christian hiring practices. The public schools backed down after the lawsuit.  Jeremiah Galus with Alliance Defending Freedom commented, “We're hopeful other public officials will take note that they can't inject themselves illegally and unconstitutionally into a religious non-profit's hiring practices.” YouVersion: No AI chatbots to answer theological questions And finally, a leading digital Bible platform is not implementing artificial intelligence chatbots for answering theological questions. The YouVersion Bible platform has over one billion downloads around the world.  YouVersion CEO Bobby Gruenewald told Christian Daily International that AI models are inaccurate. He said, “The best model with the best performance, with the most popular versions of the Bible that are most indexed, misquotes Scripture at least 15% of the time. Some of them as much as 60% of the time.” Unlike chatbots, God's Word is always accurate. Psalm 12:6 says, “The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of Earth, purified seven times.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 19th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Is our culture confusing kindness with truth? In this episode, we tackle a tough question: Has the desire to be loving caused us to abandon truth? Kirk and James explore how compassion can sometimes be weaponized to silence truth, and why Scripture calls believers to speak the truth in love, not choose one over the other. If truth is the engine and love is the way we deliver it, how should Christians respond to today's cultural pressure to stay silent? This dangerous conversation challenges us to stand boldly for truth while reflecting the grace of Christ.   Alliance Defending Freedom: https://joinadf.com/kirk   Editing and production services provided by thepodcastupload.com   Sign up for the newsletter: https://kirkcameron.beehiiv.com/subsc... #TheKirkCameronShow #DangerousConversations #TruthInLove #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndCulture #SpeakTheTruth #BiblicalTruth #FaithAndTruth    

Today Allie discusses James Talarico's victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, highlighting his controversial views and political strategies. Talarico, a former middle school teacher and current seminary student, has gained significant social media influence, with millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok. Despite his Christian background, he supports abortion, homosexuality, and transgenderism, and uses Scripture selectively to justify his positions. Allie traces the roots of Talarico's theology through liberation theology and the doctrinal drift of mainline Presbyterianism. Allie criticizes his theological interpretations and political stances, emphasizing the importance of pushing back against false teachings and promoting true Christian values over progressive compromises.
