An unexpected text, a song on the radio, an open door—how do you know if God is leading you or you’re seeing what you want to see? Today, I’m answering your questions about discerning God’s guidance, weighing wise counsel, and checking our decisions against Scripture. We’re also tackling anger in motherhood, bullying at church, homeschool friendships, and what to do when you’re burned out on church. Grab your coffee and join me!

Education is never neutral. Who is teaching your children, and what are they being trained to believe? Today, I’m digging into the history of government education and the ideas that shaped the system we have today. This goes far beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. It’s a battle for the hearts and minds of our children. God gave parents the responsibility to train them, and we need to understand what we’re up against.

“I’ve read the end of the Book.” “Both sides are corrupt.” “My vote doesn’t count.” I’m hearing these arguments from Christians who are sitting out this election, and today, we’re going to talk about them. Our hope is in Jesus Christ, and we still have a responsibility to steward the freedoms God has given us.

On this Election Day, I’m talking about what’s at stake for our children, parental rights, unborn life, and religious liberty, and why loving our neighbors includes showing up at the ballot box. We don’t need perfect candidates to make consequential choices.

Watch Election Night Coverage: Join me, Pastor Jack Hibbs, and Daniel Cohen on the Real Life Network beginning at 5 p.m. Pacific / 8 p.m. Eastern for live results and analysis from a biblical worldview. Download the Real Life Network app to watch.

Judd Saul of Equipping the Persecuted joins me with an update on the believers his team is serving through emergency aid, village warning systems, and ongoing support for widows and their children. He shares powerful stories of forgiveness, Muslims coming to faith in Christ, and Christians who refuse to stop worshiping despite the danger. We’re also talking about practical ways you can help.

What happens when standing up for women gets you thrown out of a women’s soccer game? Independent journalist and unDivided host Brandi Kruse joins me to share her account of being confronted by fans and forcibly removed from a Portland Thorns game while supporting women’s sports. We’re talking about free speech, protecting girls’ opportunities, and why we cannot let intimidation silence the truth. Plus, why Washington voters need to show up for girls’ sports and parental rights.

Parental rights, girls’ sports, and your paycheck are all on the line. But how much ground are we surrendering simply because people aren’t voting? Brian Heywood, founder of Let’s Go Washington, joins me to talk about the citizen initiatives challenging Olympia, the pressure keeping people quiet, and why Washington’s battles should matter to families everywhere. If you’re frustrated with the direction of your state, this conversation is your reminder that sitting out won’t change it.

Content warning: This conversation covers mature topics and is not suitable for young children.

Pornography is never harmless—and bringing it into your marriage comes at a cost. Joshua Broome joins me for part two of our conversation to expose the lies surrounding pornography, the exploitation behind the screen, and the damage it does to intimacy. We’re also talking about the conversations parents can’t afford to avoid and why freedom begins with bringing what’s hidden into the light. God’s design for marriage is worth protecting, and through Christ, there is hope for healing.
