The headlines move fast, but America’s core ideas move the needle. We open with a surprising deep dive into the Monroe Doctrine—penned by John Quincy Adams and issued by President James Monroe—and connect it to modern policy choices around Venezuela and hemispheric security. When you judge action by founding-era principles instead of social media noise, foreign policy looks less like a personality contest and more like constitutional muscle memory at work.

From there, we head west to a major shift in the Ninth Circuit. A two-to-one ruling leaned on the Supreme Court’s Bruin decision...

Every life matters—and every child is a gift from God. When Mauricio and Christin Rosa learned their preborn son had a life-threatening diagnosis, they faced choices no parent ever wants to face. Yet, through fear and uncertainty, they chose to trust God and to choose life. Their story is one of courage, faith, and the unshakable belief that every life has purpose and value.

Our guest, worship leader and pastor Charles Billingsley, takes us behind the scenes of how a six-week scramble turned into a sold-out celebration complete with a live nativity and a first-ever tree lighting. The most surprising moment? A request from organizers to add more worship and ensure the gospel was clearly shared on a...

The line formed before sunrise, security opened, and the room filled until the fire marshal closed the doors—twice. That kind of turnout for an early-morning history session says something bigger is stirring.

Even the “misfits” aren’t forgotten. Rahab was saved because of her faith, not her past.

Rumors move fast; context moves truth. We kick off with a listener question about Alexander Hamilton and follow the paper trail from a single 1976 claim to the everyday realities of 18th‑century life. Sharing beds in crowded inns, the language of friendship in an older era, and the difference between primary sources and agenda-driven readings all change how the story lands. We also revisit the Reynolds affair, weighing Hamilton’s own pamphlet, the consensus of historians, and the role of James T. Callender, a serial scandalmonger who colored early American headlines.

From there, the conversation shifts to a di...

Through vertical worship and intentional prayer, we gathered to seek God’s presence and intercede for sons, daughters, family members, and loved ones who may feel far from Him. This time was marked by surrender, faith, and trust in the heart of the Father who pursues, restores, and welcomes His children home.
