For decades we've been told that what starts in California eventually spreads across America. That makes what's happening there everybody's business. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Congressman James Gallagher of California to examine massive fraud and improper government payments in California, the state's response to independent journalists investigating taxpayer-funded organizations, and concerns surrounding the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” Why weren't government prosecutors uncovering the fraud problems? Pastor Allen says we should stop accepting government waste, abuse and incompetence as inevitable. But we shouldn't respond by hoping California collapses. We should instead pray for a profound spiritual transformation in California, that could ripple outward across the entire nation.

Anthony Fauci received a sweeping presidential pardon covering his federal service. So why would he still invoke the Fifth Amendment when Congress wants answers? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes former federal prosecutor John Malcolm to examine the continuing congressional effort to obtain answers from Anthony Fauci. They discuss Fauci's invocation of the Fifth Amendment, President Biden's preemptive pardon, and the legal questions surrounding what Congress can do next. Pastor Allen also challenges the assumption that science requires absolute certainty. Genuine scientific inquiry allows questions, scrutiny, and even the admission, “I don't know.” When public policy affects millions of lives, transparency and accountability matter. But accountability cannot stop in Washington. Christians who demand truth from their leaders must also have the courage to speak the truth they have been entrusted with.

Christians were repeatedly told that “separation of church and state” meant faith should stay out of politics. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes retired Green Beret and former Virginia legislator Nick Freitas to discuss government and the role Christians should play in civic life. They examine the First Amendment and what happens when Christians surrender education, politics, and culture to people with fundamentally different worldviews. Pastor Allen says this isn't a season for condemnation. It's a season for courage. We can no longer huddle inside churches, hold polite Bible studies, and assume the surrounding culture will remain grounded in biblical values. We must be willing to bring our faith into the world around us.

“Sharia is already here.” When a Muslim leader at a Texas mosque makes a statement like that, we better pay attention. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Texas Congressman Keith Self, founder of the Sharia-Free America Caucus, to examine concerns surrounding Islamist political influence in the United States. They discuss campaign support surrounding Democratic candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed and questions about how Islamist political activism overlaps with America's increasingly influential socialist movement. Pastor Allen says competing worldviews are colliding in the public square, and Christians cannot respond by becoming silent about our Savior. Anything diminishing the uniqueness of Jesus is a false gospel. This is a moment for courage and truth, rather than fear.

If “Woke 1 was crazy,” what exactly comes next? In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Washington Examiner Executive Editor Bob Cusack to examine the political landscape heading toward the November midterms. They discuss the tension inside the Democratic Party, the growing influence of socialist ideas among progressive activists, and the challenges confronting both Republicans and Democrats after the primaries. Pastor Allen examines socialism from a biblical perspective and explains that Scripture does not promise equal outcomes. As November approaches, Christians cannot afford to disengage.

The border crisis didn't stay at the border. Its costs followed Americans into their communities, and ultimately into their wallets. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne to discuss the dramatic shift in border enforcement under President Trump, and what it reveals about the decisions made during the Biden administration. They examine the enormous taxpayer burden associated with illegal immigration, election fraud and the need for Voter ID laws. Pastor Allen challenges the idea that refusing to enforce immigration law is somehow an expression of compassion. A nation cannot continually disregard its own laws and expect good outcomes. We should have the courage to distinguish genuine compassion from lawlessness.

Iran’s economy is collapsing under enormous pressure, but the regime’s brutality against its own people shows no sign of easing. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Mary Kissel, former Senior Advisor to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to examine the next phase of America’s confrontation with Iran. They discuss America’s warning of unprecedented sanctions and what economic warfare could mean for the regime. Pastor Allen says the media should stop pretending Iran is simply another government with different values. We need to speak clearly about evil, reject moral confusion, and lead with faith in both public and private life.

South Korea was once considered one of Asia’s strongest democracies. Pastor Son Hyun-bo says we should pay close attention to how quickly conditions can change. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes Pastor Son and Pastor Rob McCoy to discuss the deterioration of religious freedom in South Korea and why Christians in America should take notice. Pastor Son warns that government restrictions and political changes can move quickly when the Church becomes disengaged. Pastor Allen says America’s greatest promise is not simply economic prosperity. It is the freedom to worship Jesus, speak biblical truth, and live according to our convictions without government interference. Don’t wait until freedom is gone to decide it mattered.
