Legislating From a Perspective of Faith and YouthImagine being the youngest face in the room as you try to find your footing among seasoned legislators. That is the struggle Ty Mathews, one of the youngest legislators at the Ohio Statehouse, has had to face as he follows his faith in Jesus and forges a clear path for his constituents in the 83rd District.In this episode of the Cedarville Stories podcast, freshman representative Ty Mathews shares his journey to the Ohio Statehouse, where he's still getting his feet wet in his third month on the job.Ty's story begins at Cedarville University, where he balanced ROTC training with political and biblical studies, learning to lead with both discipline and faith. At Cedarville, Ty was introduced to a worldview that combined leadership with purpose, an experience that still shapes how he approaches his work today. He credits his time there for grounding him in Christian values that continue to guide his decisions in the Statehouse.Now, as one of the youngest members of the Ohio legislature, Ty is already working hard to make a difference. In the podcast, he shares his main priority — the Ohio Defense Initiative — which aims to bring high-tech defense companies to Ohio, tapping into the state's strategic military assets like Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. His plan is to create high-paying jobs and foster innovation in areas like cybersecurity and drone technology.Through it all, Ty remains grounded in his faith, finding strength in the values he developed at Cedarville. His story is a testament to the power of youthful ambition, faith, and determination. Even though he's early in his political career, Ty is already showing that age doesn't determine impact — purpose does.https://share.transistor.fm/s/c3aade88https://youtu.be/h31q8O0_DWI

We delve into the complexities of grief and its manifestations in our lives, particularly from the unique perspective of a humanist. Grief is not only reserved for the loss of loved ones but extends to experiences such as a beloved sports team's defeat or the heart-wrenching outcome of an election. After the recent 2024 presidential election, many progressives, including humanists, felt a profound sense of loss as the majority voted in a manner contrary to our inclusive values. We unpack the necessity of acknowledging our grief as a human experience, suggesting that owning it, sharing it, and ultimately processing it can be beneficial for our emotional journey. Transitioning from personal grief, we pivot to urgent societal issues, focusing on the distressing reality of legislative changes affecting marginalized communities, particularly the LGBTQ+ population in Ohio. Recently, the Ohio Statehouse passed a bathroom ban targeting the trans community, a decision implemented through underhanded tactics. We discuss the motivations behind this legislation, highlighting the baseless fears propagated by Christian nationalists, who seek to impose their values on the rights of others. Despite these challenges, We stress the need to confront these injustices head-on and commit to advocating for our marginalized friends and family members. Finally we look at biological concepts regarding gender and sexual identity, underscoring the complexity that challenges simple binarism. Drawing on insights from a biologist's discourse on chromosomes and hormonal variations, We emphasize that the biological classification of sex is anything but straightforward. This illustrates the need for greater empathy and understanding in our discussions about identity and rights, advocating for kindness and respect over prejudice and judgment. 01:00 Dealing with grief as a Humanist 20:01 Ohio's Trans Bathroom Ban 36:36 The science behind biological sex Full show notes and links used Subscribe to our free newsletter Check out our merch

Ohio Public Media Statehouse News Bureau Chief Karen Kasler and Reporter Sarah Donaldson join Jo to discuss the latest news in politics and government at the Ohio Statehouse.
Controversy over immigration continues in Springfield as Republicans make their pilgrimage there to talk politics and those at the top of the ticket still refer to the Southwest Ohio city as an example of the problem with immigration.

Smoking is not only one of the top causes of death in Cleveland, but is a function of years of inequitable and racist policy, with devastating consequences for communities of color. Dan talks with Dr. David Margolius, Director of Public Health for the City of Cleveland, about his and others' efforts to get Cleveland's horrendous smoking rates under control, especially by addressing flavored tobacco. Topics include the origins of Cleveland's extremely high smoking rates; the racial dimensions of the debate over menthol cigarettes; regulating tobacco after passage of Issue 2, which legalized cannabis in Ohio; and political barriers, in the Cleveland City Council and in the Ohio Statehouse to putting meaningful anti-smoking public health policies in place.

The Narrative podcast is back! 48th Vice President of the United States Mike Pence, a pro-life champion, joined Center for Christian Virtue (CCV) President Aaron Baer at the 2023 Celebration Gala in Cincinnati. He spoke boldly against the radical pro-abortion, anti-parent ballot initiative that will likely appear on the Ohio ballot this November and encouraged Christians in Ohio to defend life at the polls in 2023. Vice President Pence's remarks were so timely and impactful that we decided to release them as a special episode of The Narrative so that you could be encouraged as well. Before the interview, Aaron, Communications Director Mike Andrews, and Policy Director David Mahan reconvene to unpack what's been going on at the Ohio Statehouse. They explain the recently passed Constitution Protection Resolution that will allow Ohioans to vote on Tuesday, August 8, on whether to raise the approval threshold to amend the Ohio Constitution to 60 percent of the vote.

In today's show, Mark is on the ground with multiple guests outside of the Ohio State House during the vote on SJR-2. In short, this resolution would require a 60% vote instead of a simple majority to approve any constitutional amendment. If you are a current listener of the show, you will know that we have been speaking out and actively trying to stop the Ohio Constitutional Amendment that is coming down the pipeline in November, allowing abortions up to birth, as well as gender reassignment surgeries for children. While the passing of SHR-2 only authorizes a special election in August to raise the threshold to 60% to amend the Ohio Constitution, if passed, it increases the chance of failure of the abortion amendment in November. We want to protect the lives of unborn children, whether that is changing the minds of students on campus, or enacting legislation in government.

Dan talks with State Representative and House Assistant Minority Leader Dontavius Jarrells about his background, bills he has introduced and supported, and his health priorities in the Ohio Statehouse as Assistant Minority Leader. After surviving lead poisoning as a kid, Rep. Jarrells introduced H.B. 587, laying the groundwork for securing a historic $150 million in ARPA funding for lead poison prevention. This money will fund the remediation and mitigation of lead out of homes, but it does not address lead in pipes. Rep. Jarrells also authored H.B. 453, which established the “Recovery is Beautiful” specialty license plate and demonstrated recovery-oriented systems of care that puts recovery at the forefront of policy. H.B. 281, which was signed into law, removed derogatory language from Ohio Revised Code. This bill was the most comprehensive change in terms of terminology since the Ohio Revised Code was rewritten and issued into law in 1974. Read more about Rep. Jarrells on his website and the Ohio House website.

In 2013, Jim Obergefell and his boyfriend John, who was suffering from a terminal disease, were married on the tarmac in a medical jet at an airport in Maryland. When they returned home to Ohio, they learned that marriage would not be legally recognized. This led Jim to become the lead plaintiff in Obergefell v. Hodges, a 2015 case in which the Supreme Court ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples. In the wake of Dobbs. v. Jackson, which removed the constitutional right to abortion, Chief Justice Tomas has said that the court “should reconsider” Obergefell v. Hodges. Now, Jim is running for the Ohio State House.
