Jon and DJ are joined by Jon's Dad, Mark to discuss the need in a decaying culture to teach/raise your children in the "fear and admonition of the Lord." All 3 men in the America Held Hostage podcast discuss why teaching and parenting shouldn't be outsourced to government indoctrination centers known as public schools. They then turn to what parents should navigate in this culture, what parents need to be aware of as the culture continues its moral decay, and what resources can be used in this cultural hour to "train up a child in the way he should go, so that when he is old he will not depart from it."

The parallels to today are striking in this America Held Hostage throwback podcast. We take you back to the Summer of 2020 as Riots broke out across the country and we found out how organized Antifa was before ICE. Uncle Merle Hinton (aka Uncle Freighttrain) and Mark Hinton cry out for justice and plead for the US government to punish wickedness across the country. All 3 Hinton men emplore the Church to take a bold and righteous stand regardless of the outcome against wickedness run amok, doing so with eternity in Mind. The podcast in retrospect sounds like prophecy, listen as a warning to prepare for what's already here and coming again soon.

While Dylan James (aka DJ) nurses a lost voice, Jon pilots the America Held Hostage podcast solo with a special guest from his Iowa Radio days - Fmr. WHO Radio producer/host Ross Peterson.

Jon and Ross discuss the Jaden Ivey/NBA Pride fiasco, which snowballed into a scandalous affair being exposed in the NFL after a NE Patriots player came to Ivey's defense for standing boldly upon the Word of God.
The Idolatry and Hypocrisy laid bare for all to see in this sports story brings about a conversation that shows why a Biblical Worldview is so important.
The discussion centers around how Christians in America can knowingly/unknowingly abuse the Grace of God by living in a 50 Shades of Grey culture which allows them to explain away their sinful habits rather than crucifying them to the Cross of Christ.
Finally, Jon and Ross discuss how their own Fathers displayed the Grace/Mercy of Jesus Christ in how each of them were raised, and why Godly Men are so important in restoring the Church in the West and America as a whole to her former glory.
