Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Joy Beers and April Walker – The mothers who helped build Make America Healthy Again wanted healthier children and a government that respected their families.

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Perfect candidates do not exist. We live among flawed people, and we are flawed ourselves. Discernment means weighing character, policies, and long-term consequences instead of treating imperfection as permission to surrender our voice. Ask candidates what they have done to uphold the Constitution. Keep asking once they take office...

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – We must ask a question our politics too often avoids: Does human dignity depend on strength, independence, or convenience?

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – A government can borrow for years before the bill feels real. A politician can promise benefits without explaining who pays for them. A crowded arena can offer a welcome escape from problems at home. None of these things alone brings down a country. Together, they can make it easier to look away. Rome’s history offers no simple checklist for...

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – Rome’s decline warns that political complacency grows when citizens trade participation for spectacle.

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – We live in a culture that confuses motion with meaning. We chase status, money, approval, and novelty, then wonder why success feels thin.

Don’t Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Pastor David Whitney – Self-government, family, church, and civil authority form four distinct spheres of responsibility.
