Politics isn’t new to Sophia Shore—it’s in her blood. Growing up with a politically active mom, Sophia was introduced early to what patriotism actually looks like. Planning and zoning meetings weren’t unusual. Passing out flyers wasn’t a chore. Speaking at events wasn’t intimidating. To her, it was normal—just part of what it meant to live in this country and take civic duty seriously. That mindse...

Senator Mike Moon joins the show to reflect on 13 years of serving the state and the cost of standing on conviction.

He witnessed the realities of war firsthand—experiences that would follow him long after he returned home. But home offered...

This week’s episode is a little different. No guest. No interview. Just me—sharing what I believe the Lord has been pressing on my heart.

We address the foundational question: what does it actually mean to support Israel as a Christian? Rather than treating Israel as an exception among the nations, we argue that biblical support should loo...

Thankfully, I had a press pass , which occasionally meant quicker entry and access — but this was als...

In Exodus 10:2 and Joshua 4:6-7 , God gives important instructions to His people about passing on stories. I believe this is just as true for us today as it was for the Israelites thousands of years ago. History is lost when we stay silent.

Tom Martz and his band of hard-nosed thugs have the nerve to grade our legislators and the laws they passed based off the Missouri Constitution! What right do they have to hold our elected officials accountable?! It’s not like the laws they pass govern us! Hopefully you can hear the sarcasm spewing out… It’s always still shocking to me when I realize just how many legislators couldn’t care less ab...
