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 March 12, 2026. We tackle a question that seems almost too obvious to be controversial: Should you have to prove you’re an American citizen before voting in an American election? With more than 80% of Americans supporting voter ID and citizenship verification, we break down why something with such overwhelming public support has become a political fight in Washington. We talk about the proposed SAVE Act, the arguments surrounding election integrity, and why many Americans feel the political class is out of step with the people they’re supposed to represent. We also run through the three big stories you need to know for tomorrow. First, a shocking terror attack at Temple Israel Synagogue raises new concerns about security and rising threats against houses of worship. Then we look at the financial warning signs coming out of New York City after a major credit outlook downgrade tied to massive spending and a growing deficit. And finally, the federal government takes California to court over its zero-emissions vehicle mandate, setting up a major constitutional clash over interstate commerce and whether one state should be able to dictate policy for the entire auto industry. Plus American Mamas and Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burelson respond to outrage over reports that the Pentagon spent millions on steak and lobster. But when you learn that the meals were served to U.S. service members before heading into combat, the story looks very different—and it sparks a bigger conversation about how we treat the men and women willing to risk their lives for the country. We also welcome a powerful guest in the studio: Corey Brooks, who is literally walking across America to raise money for his organization Project H.O.O.D.. He shares why he started the journey in New York City, what he’s learning from people across the country, and how his mission to rebuild families and communities began on the South Side of Chicago. We wrap up with a Bright Spot about a first grader whose drawing sparked a controversy—and ultimately led to a major free-speech ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. It’s a reminder that the principles of the First Amendment apply to everyone… even a six-year-old with crayons.

Virtual Insanity is a song but also apparently the world we live in. Imagine asking ChatGPT “How do I know she's the one”, or “How do I discipline my child?”. Shocker, but the Bible is a much better source than an AI compiler of human thoughts tuned to what it is that you think you need to know. This is a series about how to treat boys and girls, how to parent, how relationships and connection work from God who created all of the above… Thanks for checking out this message today!

In a world marked by uncertainty, fear, and hardship, hope can feel fragile—or even unrealistic. But in this Advent message, Pastor Corey walks through 1 Peter 1 and Isaiah 7 to show that the hope God offers is not wishful thinking or blind optimism—it's stubborn, resilient, and secure.From Winston Churchill's refusal to surrender during World War II to King Ahaz trembling before overwhelming enemies, Scripture reminds us that true hope is not rooted in circumstances, but in confidence. When Judah faced invasion and fear gripped the nation, God gave a sign that pointed far beyond the moment—a promise of Immanuel, God with us.This message reveals how the birth of Jesus is a hope that holds—not just for Israel then, but for believers now. While hope killers like past pain, uncertainty about the future, health struggles, broken relationships, or financial pressure can leave hearts weary, God offers a living hope grounded in His faithfulness and proven track record throughout history.Biblical hope isn't passive—it's a confident expectation anchored in who God is and what He has already done. Because of the resurrection of Jesus, our hope is alive, secure, and eternal.If you're feeling overwhelmed, discouraged, or worn down by life, this message will remind you where lasting hope is found—and why it never fails.✔ Why Christian hope is confident, not circumstantial✔ How God's faithfulness in the past fuels hope for the future✔ Why Jesus is the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises✔ How to hold onto hope in seasons of hardship✔ Why setting your hope on Christ leads to sustained enduranceShare this message with someone who needs to be reminded that no matter how dark things feel, our hope is alive—and it holds.
Pastor Corey explores the theme of life's journey, emphasizing the unexpected turns we encounter and the importance of finding joy amidst chaos. It highlights the struggles faced by individuals, particularly through the lens of Mary and Joseph's journey during the Christmas story. The discussion underscores the significance of community support, God's provision, and the role of spiritual promises in navigating life's challenges. Ultimately, it encourages listeners to trust in God and embrace the journey rather than solely focusing on the destination.
In a world filled with noise, interruptions, and uncertainty, peace can feel out of reach. But in this Advent message, Pastor Corey walks through John 14:27, Philippians 4:6–9, and Isaiah 26 to show that the peace Jesus offers is not circumstantial or fragile—it's supernatural, steady, and unshakable.From anxious disciples caught in a storm to God's people facing the threat of Assyria, Scripture reveals that peace isn't the absence of conflict—it's the presence of trust. While worry rises when outcomes are uncertain, Jesus gives a peace that persists even when the future feels unclear.Through powerful biblical truth and moving stories like Horatio Spafford's hymn “It Is Well with My Soul,” this message reminds us that peace isn't found in a place or a plan—it's found in a Person. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, steadies us in the present and secures us for the future.If your mind feels consumed by worry, anxiety, or chaos, this message will help you see how God's peace can guard your heart and mind—even when circumstances don't change.✔ Why peace is the antidote to chaos✔ Why the opposite of peace isn't war—but worry✔ How Jesus gives peace when outcomes are uncertain✔ Why peace increases as we know the Peace-Giver✔ How supernatural peace can exist even in deep sorrowShare this message with someone who needs to be reminded that no matter what they're facing, God's peace is still available—and it is well with their soul.
