As China's leader Xi Jinping remains close with Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's eyes seem to stay set on a potential 'reunification' with Taiwan, which would likely include an aggressive invasion of the country, many on Capitol Hill believe China's actions differ from their supposed desire to be a neutral leader on the world stage. Their involvement in America's cyberspace also refutes this assertion -- as the social media app TikTok, owned by Chinese company ByteDance, has collected mass amounts of U.S. data that is believed to be shared with the Chinese Communist Party. On the Rundown, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn explains how she believes the Biden Administration's "lack of responsiveness" to China's action has played a role in their increased aggression and what needs to happen to ensure China does not aim their hostility toward the U.S. or our allies. She also discusses her involvement in introducing the Kids Online Safety Act, legislation that could enhance U.S. data security and cyber protections. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, established to bring attention to the disease and encourage screenings and healthy lifestyle choices. Although cases of the disease have been on the overall decline over the last 30 years, diagnoses among younger patients are on the rise. Kacie Peters and her husband Erik Stanley, both under 50, were diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer within six months of each other. They join the Rundown to discuss their warning signs, their fight to beat the disease, and their mission to raise awareness. Plus, commentary by FOX News contributor Deroy Murdock.

It seemed as though the earth shook on May 2nd, 2022 when Politico published an alleged "leak" from the U.S. Supreme Court: a February 2022 draft of a majority opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, which would overturn Roe v. Wade, a travesty of justice which has permitted the deaths of over 60 million unborn babies since 1973.Is the draft legitimate? Is the legal judgment sound? What would have motivated someone to leak the draft? If it's true that Roe is history, what does that mean for abortion in the United States?Erik Stanley is with the Provident Law Group, an attorney and religious liberty champion who has twice argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, Erik breaks down the history of the case that produced the opinion and its implications for the future of the caustic pro-life/pro-choice debate.For more information on The Provident Law Group, please click here.For more information on attorney Erik Stanley, please follow this link."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit: https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit: https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone: (623)225-5573.

As an attorney with the Provident Law Group and formerly with the Alliance Defending Freedom, he has twice argued cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, Erik helps us to understand the nature and agenda of "The Equality Act".

If it passes into law, is there truly harm done to religious institutions or does opposition to the Equality Act really just represent a new form of bigotry?

The Mom Bod Series Part 2: Joyful Movement For many Mom’s, the terms “joy” and “exercise” don’t go together since our bodies are worn down, our time is spread too thin, and self-care is pushed to the back burner. Finding what movement feels like a celebration of your body and brings you joy can be very perplexing for Mom’s, so in this episode we offer tips on how to increase attunement with your body so you can find your stride. We also explore how to adjust your expectations depending on your phase of life or physical needs while identifying your wants and needs so you can carve out space to take care of yourself. We interview married couple and running coaches, Erik Stanley and Jacque Peppler, of “Trail Roots” about how becoming parents has challenged their lifestyle, business, and relationship. Jacque shares the difficulties Mom’s face with their expectations of themselves regarding their time, bodily changes, and types of movement they can participate in. Erik talks about the common partner response of “let’s just fix it,” and how he learned to listen to Jacque’s internal struggles to support her journey of making time for movement. This is a unique, thought-provoking interview that will touch your heart and hopefully leave you feeling less alone.

What does it look like for Christians to fight for justice and freedom in the courtroom? Lawyers at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) engage their professions not merely as careers but as callings. They approach issues of religious liberty with sobriety, fervor, and joy. ADF often draws media attention when they participate in cases involving gender identity or sexual orientation, but ADF sees itself as a much broader organization—one fundamentally concerned with religious liberty and the freedom to pursue faith fully. On the first episode of Behind the Frontlines, we spoke with attorneys Christiana Holcomb and Erik Stanley who work with ADF and their Church and Ministry Alliance. Christiana and Erik discuss their love for the church and how they ended up at ADF. They also reveal what it’s like to work for an organization that has been to the Supreme Court nine times in the past seven years. What is “ Behind the Frontlines: Religious Liberty in America ”?

Just over a week has passed since the US Supreme Court issued its opinion in the playground case, Trinity Lutheran Church v. Comer. The case centered on a small-town church with a playground used by local families. When the State of Missouri offered a grant program to make playgrounds safer, Trinity Lutheran seemed a perfect fit. The officials reviewing applications gave the proposal high marks. But that didn’t matter—it was a church that had applied. A rejection letter soon followed. Five years later, and not without some last minute drama, the court ruled in favor of Trinity Lutheran Church. For some, the 7-2 decision represents a sea change in how states treat and award funds to religious organizations. Others say a footnote in the opinion limits the impact to discrimination based on religious identity with respect to playground resurfacing. Erik Stanley, Senior Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom and Director of the Center for Christian Ministries, filed the case on behalf of Trinity Lutheran Church in 2012 and took the case all the way to the Supreme Court. He joins Freedom Matters this week. We’ll talk about the church, the case, and get his thoughts on the opinion.

My first guest on the Tami Jackson Show* tonight be Captain Roger Hill. Captain Roger Hill is a West Point graduate, combat veteran and Bronze Star recipient who had dreamed of being a soldier since he was six years old. In 2007, Hill takes command of Dog Company, an 89-man unit of the famed 101st Airborne. The unit is full of rough-and-tumble men who are brilliant in combat but undisciplined at home. Through tough love, Hill and his First Sergeant, an old-school former drill instructor named Tommy Scott, turn the company into the top performers in the battalion. In 2008, Hill and Scott lead Dog Company into combat in Wardak, the most violent province in eastern Afghanistan. For six months, the unit faces off against the Taliban. They survive ambushes, rocket fire and IEDs almost daily, and the number of wounded cuts into Hill's unit by a third. Meanwhile, Hill himself battles his own battalion commander, a charismatic but archly political man who threatens to relieve Hill at every turn. After two Dog Company soldiers die in combat, Hill, Scott and a counterintelligence team learn the reason for the mounting casualties: A dozen Taliban spies posing as local national workers have infiltrated their base. After he captures the spies, Hill is abandoned by his higher command, setting off a ticking clock: he has just 96 hours to either release the spies and expose Dog Company to further casualties — or defy the Army's rules on prisoner treatment. In a true story that weaves the combat action of Band of Brothers with the military courtroom drama of A Few Good Men, Hill and Scott must ultimately choose: Sacrifice their careers or sacrifice their men. Capt. Hill and Lynn Vincent detail the true story in a new book, sure to be a best seller, Dog Company: A True Story of American Soldiers Abandoned by Their High Command. Listen as Capt. Hill and I discuss how current Rules of Engagement (ROE) are politically motivated and represent a grave danger to troops on the ground. This segment is guaranteed to make every patriot steaming mad! ******************* In the second 1/2 hour I will be joined by Christiana Holcomb. Christiana Holcomb, Esq., serves as legal counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, where she is an invaluable member of the Center for Christian Ministries. Since joining ADF in 2012, Holcomb has worked to protect the freedom of churches, Christian schools, and Christian ministries to freely exercise their faith without government interference. She also advocates for these issues as an Alliance Defending Freedom Regional Legal Academy faculty member and as a conference speaker throughout the country. Holcomb earned her J.D. at Oak Brook College, graduating summa cum laude in 2010. She also completed the Alliance Defending Freedom leadership development program to become a Blackstone Fellow in 2010. She is admitted to the bar in California and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. Christiana will be Erik Stanley's Deputy on the “The Playground Case,” the biggest case left on the SCOTUS docket, which will be heard on Wednesday, April 19. Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Pauley, dubbed “The Playground Case.” ABC called it “the most anticipated case in the April sitting.” Fox further described it as “arguably the biggest church-state case in recent memory.” Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Pauley involves a Lutheran preschool in Columbia, Missouri that was denied state funds to improve its public playground due to a law prohibiting government aid to religious schools. This case needs to be watched particularly closely because it will be the barometer for years worth of rulings striking at the heart of America's culture and political war. In fact, on Monday, April 17, just two days before "The Playground Case," the Supreme Court "DISTRIBUTED for Conference" the extremely controversial Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission for possible hearing later this fall. Behind the case representing Trinity Lutheran (and Masterpiece Cakeshop) is Erik Stanley of Alliance Defending Freedom. This will be such a timely discussion: Eric Stanley, Christiana Holcomb, and the rest of the ADF legal team have been working tirelessly on this case, scheduled on the SCOTUS docket for tomorrow morning, Wednesday, April 19. And now that the High Court is at full complement with newly sworn in Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch, Americans will eagerly await the court's opinion. Follow Capt. Roger Hill on Twitter at @CPTRogerHill, Dog Company Book at @DogCompanyBook, Christiana Holcomb at @ChristianaADF, and me at @tamij AND tweet your questions/comments during the show using hashtag #tjrs. *Sponsored by Rentacomputer, your premier source for Server Rentals , by ROBAR® Guns, a True Custom firearms and firearms finishing shop located in Phoenix, AZ, and found online at RobarGuns.com, and by Dispatches, your site for the BEST conservative resources to fight and win the information war.
After a brief recap of Justice Neil Gorsuch's confirmation, Jonathan speaks with attorney Erik Stanley, director of the Center for Christian Ministries for Alliance Defending Freedom. They discuss next week's pivotal oral arguments for Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia v. Comer, also known as "The Playground Case." Greg Burt also joins us to discuss SB 179, California's new "Choose Gender Bill."
Many issues in today's culture must be addressed by Christians, especially leaders within the church. At the ERLC National Conference, Andrew Walker hosted a panel about a few of those issues. The panel, Sexuality, Religious Liberty, and Cultural Engagement, featured Jennifer Marshall, Barrett Duke, and Erik Stanley. We hope this episode will help you think biblically about engaging with these important topics. Subscribe here iTunes | Google Play | Stitcher | Tune in
