Today we’re talking about your God-given right to raise, educate, and disciple your children without government interference. New Jersey is pushing two bills—A5825 and A5796—that would tighten control over homeschoolers, while UNESCO and the UN advance “global citizenship” and standardized education worldwide.

My friend Mike Farris—founder of HSLDA and a longtime defender of homeschool freedom—joins me to explain what these proposals actually do, why “curriculum alignment” is so dangerous, how treaties like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child come into play, and why what happens in New Jersey won’t stay there.

If you homeschool—or just care about parental rights and liberty—this episode is your call to stay informed, stay engaged, and stay off the bench.

Post-election, I step back from the noise to ask where America is headed—and why cities are embracing leaders and policies at odds with our Judeo-Christian roots. We’ll unpack the cultural and spiritual fallout of rising socialism and anti-Semitism, and what shifts in places like New York and Dearborn mean for the rest of the country. Then author Becca Keating shares what life under Sharia law looked like in the Middle East—and why Americans must grasp the worldview behind it. This is a call for believers to pray, vote, defend what’s good, and engage locally with courage.

Today I’m joined by my friend Abby from M is for Mama for an honest, hope-filled talk about motherhood, calling, and staying grounded in God’s design for women. We’re tackling the lies of feminism, the myth that you can “have it all,” and the beauty of embracing each season with purpose and joy. Abby shares wisdom from her new book You Bet Your Stretch Marks—a reminder that the hard work of mothering is sacred, eternal work. Whether you’re in the toddler trenches or raising teens, this episode will encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus and your heart anchored at home.
