Step into a conversation that travels from a small-town stage to the corridors of power. Christy Stutzman tells a story of unexpected doors—an operatic childhood, a 9/11 wake-up call, a razor-thin election victory, and life inside Congress—that becomes a call to arms for anyone who cares about the soul of a nation.

When a trip to Israel and a reading of Matthew 5 stirs conviction, she pivots from preserving a beloved historic theater to writing musicals that offer a different cultural pipeline. Along the way she reveals how art, faith, and civic duty intersect, and why the stories we tell today shape the leaders of tomorrow.

Hear the origin of Washington’s Ring of Spies—a revolutionary tale of secret sacrifice and quiet heroism—and discover how storytelling can reclaim truth, cultivate courage, and hand a better inheritance to your children.

This episode is for parents, creatives, and those who believe our kids are being discipled by something—so let it be us. Tune in for practical encouragement on defending culture, training artists of excellence, and raising “kingdom arrows” for the next generation.

Step into a world where every headline screams for your attention and every notification threatens to steal your peace. In this episode Hannah walks you through the noise—exposing the lies, naming the wolves, and showing how the modern clickbait culture steals time from the one mission that matters.

Through vivid storytelling, from a false news scare to Nehemiah’s steady resolve, Hannah invites listeners to reclaim their calling: to sound the alarm, not live in it. Practical, urgent, and tender, this conversation equips parents to protect their hearts, train their children, and return to the quiet, kingdom work that changes lives.
