COVID demonstrated the weakness of society as millions complied with the messages of fear to accept a bio weapon into their bodies. The few that stood experienced the cost of truth and the loneliness that courage demands. We are in an age shaped by the ideology of weakness, compliance, fear and do as thou will. We must return to a moral and religious society that is called to stand, not comply or bow. It is time for the Warriors of Christ to answer the call with the authorities of Kingdom to lead with the power of love and forgiveness. #BardsFM #TheMeek #ChildrenOfTheMostHigh Bards Nation Health Store: www.bardsnationhealth.com BardsFM CAP, Celebrating 50 Million Downloads: https://ambitiousfaith.net Morning Intro Music Provided by Brian Kahanek: www.briankahanek.com MYPillow promo code: BARDS Go to https://www.mypillow.com/bards and use the promo code BARDS or...

What happens when questioning what to feed your baby leads you to question everything you've built your life on? Former NICU nurse Kristen Nagle's journey from healthcare worker to losing her 14-year career, facing $100,000 in fines, and finding profound freedom is one of the most courageous pivots you'll ever hear. In this raw and powerful conversation, Kristen shares how becoming a mother cracked open her worldview, leading her from fear-based decisions to heart-led knowing—even when it meant standing alone against every institution she'd once trusted. This isn't just about medical freedom—it's about the courage to change your mind, the strength found in losing everything, and the unexpected gifts that emerge when you finally stop living for others' approval. Essential listening for anyone questioning the path they're on or ready to discover what freedom actually feels like.

What does it mean to truly live out our faith? In this thoughtprovoking episode of the American Soul Podcast, Jesse Cope challenges us to examine what receives our time, attention, and energy each day.Do we claim God is our priority but fail to make time for prayer and Scripture? Do our spouses know they're valued, or do screens and entertainment push them aside? These piercing questions set the stage for a deeper exploration of faith in action versus empty religious observance.Through Benjamin Franklin's writings, Jesse reveals how this founding father—often mischaracterized as a deist—actually understood the biblical concept that works demonstrate but don't earn salvation. Franklin wrote that true religion isn't about "holiday keeping" or "sermon reading" but manifests in "works of kindness, charity, mercy and public spirit."The episode weaves through powerful historical accounts, including the persecution during the Inquisition and the moving story of James Otis, an early American patriot who suffered greatly for standing for liberty. These narratives illuminate why America's founders were concerned about preventing religious persecution while maintaining the central role of Christian principles in public life.Throughout the conversation, Jesse returns to a central theme: caring for widows, orphans, and the vulnerable isn't optional for believers—it's essential evidence of genuine faith. As he puts it, "If we look at the widow and the orphan and we don't do anything about it, we're not producing any fruit."Whether you're examining your own priorities or seeking to understand the deep connection between faith and America's founding principles, this episode offers both challenge and encouragement. As difficult times approach, Jesse reminds us of John Quincy Adams' wisdom: "Duty is ours, results are God's."Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
