The Adrienne Ross Show Podcast

In another edition of "Taking It to the Streets," I made my way down Broadway to the Mississippi River in Missouri to talk to random people. My goal was to ask them if they were elected president what would be their first priority, and I followed up with what they would do first locally if they were mayor of their city. Discussions ranged from Donald Trump to the media to faith to jobs to race—and...

When I shared a random college student's participation in this show's "Taking It to the Streets" episode during which he discussed his freedom from a ten-year addiction to pornography, he received criticism on social media. Why would something that is obviously a good thing elicit mockery? Let's talk about both his testimony and what the negative reactions reveal. This episode is also available to...

It's my birthday week, and I begin this episode with some reflections on turning the big 53. Then I dive into a few political topics—namely, former President Donald Trump's disturbing comments about abortion during a  Meet the Press  interview; Sen. Chuck Schumer's decision to get rid of the Senate's dress code, which conjures up images of Sen. John Fetterman's attire; and Facebook shadowbanning m...

The second edition of "Taking It to the Streets" found me back at Southeast Missouri State University (SEMO) for some conversations and connections I could not anticipate. Stopping random students to hear from them is a learning experience for this former teacher! This may be an episode you would prefer to watch. If you would like to watch rather than merely listen, go to the YouTube link here . W...

The Adrienne Ross Show has stepped into something new. It’s called “Taking It to the Streets.” Welcome to the first of what will hopefully be many such segments. Taking It to the Streets is about getting out and talking to random people about the issues—hearing what they think, not what other people, especially the establishment media, tell us they think. This segment covers two days of being out...

Parents will tell you that having children is one of their greatest joys, but many will also flat-out tell you it is not easy. Christian parents feel it, too. Let's face it: the world system does not espouse the values that are important to people of faith, and children often lose their way. My guests, Adam and Bethany Graves, have raised two children who have maintained their relationship with th...

If you've been tuning in, you know I've been engaged in the fight against sexually explicit material geared at children being in the public library, namely, "Gender Queer" and "This Book Is Gay." After communicating with library staff a few times, filling out Reconsideration Forms, and having my requests denied, I took the next step and attended a board meeting so I could address the members durin...

A plethora of topics are on the table. The mistreatment of former President Donald Trump has created a wave of public support from black people. Will it grow? Mask mandates have made a comeback, and rumors of impending lockdowns are swirling. Will you comply this time around? Sen. Mitch McConnell has another freezing episode at the podium. Is it time for him to walk away, and, again, is it time to...

The subject of women preachers and/or pastors has long been controversial. Apostle Joseph Prude joins me to discuss this, accompanied by Apostle Dr. LaNise Reynolds, who returns to the show. Approach this episode with an open heart, rather than preconceived ideas, as Apostle Prude delves into the Scriptures to break down an issue known for being quite divisive. But should it be? He gives us just t...

***WARNING: This is NOT an episode children should watch or hear.***   As a follow-up to a recent visit to an area library to discuss Gender Queer , a sexually explicit young adult graphic novel, I returned to discuss its policy about pornographic material as it pertains to children. Gender Queer has, for at least a couple of years, topped the list of most challenged books. The memoir's content in...

What gets under my skin like nothing else? I've never publicly delved into pet peeve land before, but I do so in this episode, sharing my number one pet peeve and giving an example that might surprise some. Then expert communicator Regina Bryan joins me. Regina is a John Maxwell Leadership Team speaker, trainer, and coach; a show host; an accomplished DISC presenter; a business owner; and much mor...

Florida teacher Kiya Cordeau joins me to talk about Vice President Kamala Harris's criticism of the state's new black history standards, particularly a portion stating that "instruction includes how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit." Cordeau calls the vice president's response yet another exercise in "using black people as a political to...

In this episode, I share a personal health update and then get into the idea of an age limit for politicians, considering the recent incidents with Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, as well as President Joe Biden's numerous issues revealing frailty. This episode is also available to watch on YouTube . Wherever possible, please subscribe, like, comment, leave a rating and review, and...

Going to see  Sound of Freedom  was a difficult decision for me. In this episode, I explain why, as well as the process that got me there. I also detail several life takeaways from the movie--without spoiling the plot for those who have yet to see it. We share the U.S. human trafficking statistics and the phone numbers for 1) the human trafficking hotline and 2) missing and exploited children. Cal...

The Supreme Court recently rendered a decision on affirmative action, ruling that race can no longer be considered in admissions practices in higher education. Emotions are running high in the wake of this 6-3 decision, and now that the smoke has cleared a little, two educators join me to dig into the various aspects and opinions. We waste no time going deep.

School libraries are displaying books depicting sexual activity among children, including masturbation and anal and oral sex. One such book is a graphic novel called  Gender Queer  by Maia Kobabe, which the largest teachers' union in the nation, the National Education Association (NEA), has now placed on its recommended summer reading list for educators. Schools giving students access to this mate...

If I told you a new search engine exists that was created to eliminate search engine bias, I'm not sure you would believe me, but it's true, and the spokesperson joins me on this episode to tell us all about it. Molly Koweek, who was also my student 20 years ago, is the Luxxle spokesperson and shows us how it works, demonstrating how results can be filtered to lean right or left politically while ...

One problem with politics is that it causes people to view everything through the lens of an "issue." In this episode, I discuss that tendency and call for a change of heart and mind, away from thinking about life vs. abortion as an issue to wave for political gain to seeing it as indicative of morality and compassion. I take a look at comments Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) made about abortion and her "c...

The Adrienne Ross Show is celebrating 100 episodes! That's 100 official episodes, not padding numbers by counting the pilot or bonus episodes. Joining me today for the first time are the founder and owner of the BMG Network and members of The BMG Network team. You get to meet everyone, we talk about the vision for the network, and then we dive into what's going on in culture and politics.  Listen...

Supporters of both former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis are quite passionate, sometimes to a fault, a truth I always knew but came face to face with again after writing articles about the two presidential candidates. In this episode, I issue a message to both factions as it pertains to my approach to the 2024 race. Hint: it does not include me withholding criticism (or praise, for t...

To what extent should the church play a role in politics and culture? Should Christians in the U.S. be patriotic and believe in American Exceptionalism? Pastor Zack Strong, who happens to be my pastor, weighs in. He also helps me dissect specific issues in the current cultural and political climate regarding the LGBTQ+ community and its impact on businesses and major league sports—specifically how...

Marie Stroughter, African-American Conservatives (AACONS) cofounder and former National Advisory Board member and surrogate for Black Voices for Trump, does not hold back when she joins me to discuss the latest dive into race-baiting by the NAACP, the ladies of The View , and President Biden.

My guest is an Upstate New York school board member who joins the show to discuss guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) that is designed to sexualize children—starting at birth. The guidance dictates the ages children are to begin engaging in porn, masturbation, sexual activity with partners, and more. Further, Kia, my guest, explains how the transgender age...

Remember when ratings meant everything to the media? It is a business, after all, so it made sense that ratings were among the top one or two on the list of importance. However, that's a thing of the past now, as evidenced by CNN's reaction to former President Donald Trump's town hall in New Hampshire last week. Its far-left agenda is by far what matters most to the outlet, just as Fox News's milq...
