Culture, media, and parenting collide in this packed episode. First, a sharp review of the Michael Jackson movie—what it gets right, what it misses, and the deeper worldview lessons parents can teach their kids through it. Then, creator Ethan Nicolle joins us to share one of the best resources for helping kids break screen addiction, build creativity, and rediscover real-world imagination. Practical, thought-provoking, and highly relevant for families navigating modern culture.

Why do so many people believe things that aren’t true? In this episode, I’m joined by Phoenix Hayes to expose the tactics influencers, media voices, and online personalities use to persuade people without evidence. We break down how emotional framing, fear, motive-assuming, and conspiracy storytelling can bypass critical thinking and drive millions of views.

We also talk about how to spot manipulation fast, ask better questions, think clearly in a noisy culture, and make strong arguments without becoming manipulative yourself. If you want to sharpen your discernment, resist deception, and stop falling for viral nonsense, this episode is for you.

Patti Height thought she had finally found freedom—identity, love, acceptance, success. But beneath it all was confusion, trauma, addiction, and pain. In this gripping conversation, she shares how God interrupted everything and radically changed both her life and the life of the woman she was living with—on the same day.

From same-sex relationship to sisters in Christ, Patty’s story is a powerful testimony of repentance, healing, and the transforming power of Jesus. She also speaks candidly about gender confusion, abuse, false identity, sanctification, and the hope available to anyone who feels stuck.

This is a raw, emotional, gospel-centered conversation about truth, freedom, and the God who still saves.

Christian nationalism is one of the most debated and misunderstood issues in the church today. Is it simply a smear label used against conservatives—or is there a real movement seeking to reshape America’s political and religious order?

In this episode, Dr. Bill Roach joins me to break through the confusion. We discuss the many competing definitions of Christian nationalism, the factions claiming the label, and why clarity matters. Dr. Roach explains the historical roots behind modern Christian nationalist thought, how some versions challenge religious liberty, and why others frame it as a return to America’s founding principles.

We also examine parallels between the woke left and what some call the woke right, the dangers of authoritarianism from either side, and how Christians should think biblically about politics, freedom, and truth in a polarized age.
