Guest Preacher Jason JonesPreached January 18, 2026

Jason Jones reports that Israel has approved an illegal settlement project that threatens Shepherd's Field in Beit Sahour, revered as the site of Christ's Nativity announcement. At least 19 Christian families have already been displaced, and the new development could sever Bethlehem's Christian community from Jerusalem. Jones warns this may mark the final erasure of Christianity in the West Bank, exposing decades of church destruction and settler violence. He calls on Western Catholics to abandon silence, insisting they have the power, and duty, to stop this before it's too late.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!

In this episode of The Jason Jones Show, Jason Jones sits down with the Mayor of Bethlehem for an in-depth conversation about life, leadership, and resilience in one of the most historically and spiritually significant cities in the world. Together, they explore the realities facing Bethlehem today — from the challenges of governance under political pressure to the daily lives of families, business owners, and young people striving for stability and hope. The mayor shares firsthand insight into how history, faith, and geopolitics intersect in the city, and what it means to lead a community that carries global significance while navigating modern realities

Most people wake up already stressed—and don't even realize it. What if just 5 minutes every morning could completely change how your body and mind feel all day? Life responsibilities have placed most of us in a constant rush and stress, without a moment to breathe. Such a lifestyle significantly affects our chiropractic principles and the foundation of our practice. However, what if I told you, you can change this in 2026 with just 5 minutes of a mindful morning routine, completely transform your day, and enjoy the best version of you in the new year? Mornings set the tone for the rest of the day. If you form a habit of starting your day with calmness, intention, and clarity, you will realize that you stay more focused, handle challenges better, and feel emotionally stronger. And the good news is that you only need 5 minutes every morning to make a difference. Here is the 5-minute morning formula to help you start your day like the 2026 version of you: 1.      Move Before Your Phone Did you know that just 60-90 seconds of mobility or stretching can completely boost your energy? Movement in the morning helps increase blood flow and naturally energizes your body. As soon as you wake up, don't rush to reach for your phone. Instead, gently stretch your body. You can do this by reaching up towards the ceiling, twisting your torso side to side, and touching your toes. That stretch wakes up your muscles and sends signals to your brain that it's time to activate. You can also adopt 20 squats or 10 push-ups, depending on your workout objective. 2.      Hydrate on Purpose We've all probably heard experts emphasize the importance of proper hydration in the morning. Ever wondered why it's important to hydrate in the morning? Well, when sleeping, we tend to lose a lot of fluids through sweating, breathing, and minor movements. This can lead to dehydration upon waking, which can impair cognitive function, affect our moods, and slow the body's metabolism. Therefore, drinking water first thing in the morning before caffeine helps fire up your metabolism for the day, clears out morning brain fog, and sets a positive tone for the day. Morning hydration helps guide and regulate your body and mind, lowering the chances of mid-morning brain fog or irritability. Consider taking 10–12 oz of water before caffeine to start the day well hydrated. 3.      One Good Thought This could be a gratitude, intention, or "identity statement". Take a minute in the morning to write down a list of everything that you are grateful for at that moment. Starting your day with a gratitude list helps you see all the good things you are grateful for. A gratitude list works like a self-reflection that triggers positive feelings for the day ahead and greatly reduces feelings of stress and anxiety, and helps train your brain to become more optimistic. Another morning formula you should consider adopting to set your energy level high in 2026 is to set an intention for the day ahead. You can achieve this by thinking about the day's objective that you need the most to focus on. The intention can range from a simple mantra, such as "Today is a great day," to a quote or an excerpt from a book you're currently reading or a podcast you are listening to. It should be something that inspires and speaks to you. Once you have your intention for the day, repeat it to yourself a few times.  You can also consider adopting an "identity statement" that focuses on who you are becoming through your actions, defining yourself by your consistent behaviors. An example of an identity statement is "I am a resilient individual who perseveres through challenges and builds strength with each effort." Adopting one good thought helps rewire your brain to focus on the positive rather than jumping straight into negativity and anxiety. 4.      One Small Action Toward a Goal Decide on the goal for the day and go for it. Ensure that it is something achievable yet meaningful. For instance, if you intend to send an important email and exercise, proceed to schedule and block your calendar for the day's activities. This should take approximately 3 minutes. Setting clear, actionable goals with scheduled implementation time helps your mind to stay focused instead of getting lost in endless to-do lists. 5.      Open Your Day, Don't React to It Once you've established your morning routine, stick to it. Jumping straight into reading emails and texts may trigger anxiety and stress, which may negatively affect the day's energy. When you wake up, focus on your 5-minute morning formula to help set the right energy for the day, then work on the emails and texts at the scheduled time. Try this 5-minute morning formula for 7 days and notice how your body, energy, and mindset shift.

In this episode, Kelsey Reinhardt and Jason Jones discuss the urgent need to defend human dignity in today's culture, exploring how faith, conscience, and moral conviction shape our response to complex social and political issues. Drawing from their work in advocacy and public engagement, they reflect on why silence is no longer an option and what it means to stand for life and the vulnerable with clarity and courage. Throughout the conversation, Jason and Kelsey examine the role of conscience in public life, the cost of conviction, and how faith informs action in an increasingly polarized world. This discussion invites listeners to think deeply, engage honestly, and consider how moral responsibility should guide both personal and public decision-making. As part of this conversation, Kelsey references her recent article published in First Things, “A Catholic Approach to Immigration,” in which she examines how Catholic teaching calls for both compassion toward migrants and serious engagement with law, order, and the common good. The article provides important context for the themes discussed in this episode.

He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's new book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   --------------------------------------------------------------------
