1819 News: The Podcast 1819 News: After Hours

As technology continues to rapidly advance in its power and abilities, the need to think critically about moral ramifications of these advancements is key.
IVF is one of those advancements that needs more discussion, particularly for those individuals and families who desire to have children but also want to honor God and do what is right by Him.
This week Bryan sits down with Jeff Durbin, a prominent pastor in the world of fighting back against abortion, to hear his incredible story. After overcoming addiction, he became a nationally known pastor fighting against the culture of death. 
Pastor Jeff's story of devolution from a famed martial artist featured in films such as Mortal Combat and Ninja Turtles to a life of addiction is riveting. Even more incredible is how God saved him and called him to minister to recovering addicts. 
With God’s blessing, he eventually turned a recovery center in the Phoenix area into a booming church. Bryan and Jeff dive into the hotly debated subject of IVF. Many individuals see IVF as a good thing because it helps families have children, but that fails to acknowledge the actual process and the moral ramifications for those who believe life starts at conception. 
From the IVF conversation the two move to a discussion about what it will actually take to permanently end abortion in Alabama, Arizona, and America. Overtime Segment: One of the big questions many people have in the church is whether God's Law still applies today, and if so, how. Pastor Jeff unpacks this subject better than anyone and you will be edified by the conversation.

If you’re following 1819 News, you’ve heard the horror stories of pornographic books placed in the children's section of public libraries across Alabama. You’ve probably asked yourself if this is really happening, too. It is. 
Deviant ideologues are pushing books containing explicit writing and images that encourage children to question their gender and perform homosexual acts with one another. These people are purposefully corrupting the innocence of children.
This week, we hit this disgusting travesty head-on as we sit down with the founder of Clean Up Alabama, Hannah Rees, to hear the story of how one angry momma bear made a huge difference for her community and, ultimately, the entire state.
Over time Rees’ leadership attracted an incredible group of warriors and partnerships with activist organizations across the state. But it can’t be forgotten that the fight started with her deciding she wasn't going to allow this literature to remain on the shelves of the Prattville Public Library – no matter what it took.
This podcast is one of the most encouraging stories of victory for conservatives in Alabama. Hannah talks about the wins, how they were accomplished, and the work that still needs to be done.
Overtime Segment: Bryan and Hannah discuss why just Momma Bears are getting it done and ask, “Where are the men?!?” Plus, Hannah shares the importance of “following through”, as she likes to say.

When people think of missions, the images that usually come to mind are romanticized versions of what really takes place. Ministry is messy and missions even more so.
Giving yourself wholly to the service of others always comes with perils. But now imagine a ministry that sees your family sacrificing for and growing close to people who end up shot or dead because of gang violence. That isn't on the flyers at the North American Missions Board, but it is a reality for those called to bring the message of Jesus Christ to inner cities.
This week, missionary Bryan Kelly shares what it’s like on the front lines of urban evangelism as the founder and executive director of Common Ground, a non-profit that spearheads inner-city ministry in Montgomery. He shares the incredible work he and his family are involved in as well as some of the stories you don't usually think about when it comes to ministry.
The good news is Common Ground hopes to expand its efforts. Kelly fills us in on those plans and the opportunity he sees. As the Good Book shares, “The harvest is plentiful…”
Listening to this podcast, you will be encouraged by the fruit of the harvest Kelly has seen over the years while also sobered by the stories of a world most Alabamians hope to avoid.

The Great Commission given by Jesus in the New Testament states: "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me, go therefore and make disciples of all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded.”
Have you ever thought about what things would look like if we were successful in the Great Commission? What if this nation realized that all authority in Heaven and Earth belonged to Christ the King and we observed all that he commanded us? What would Alabama look like?
Not long ago, Western civilization and America believed that the Church provided moral guidance while the State had the duty of establishing law and order which reflected those moral precepts.
Some will say that to do so creates a theocracy because religious values would inform the state’s actions. What seems to be forgotten in our times is that there is no such thing as a “values-neutral” government. All laws and actions are informed by values, by a moral order. While the Left’s moral order is not rooted in a religious tradition like Christianity or Islam, it is still a moral order that they are working hard to enshrine into law, forcing it upon the people through the power of government. As uncomfortable as it may be for some Americans, we must realize that a moral order will be reflected in our federal, state, and local governments. The question is, “Which one?”
This week Bryan sits down with America's most controversial pastor to discuss what it would take to re-create a Christian civilization, if the Bible calls for it, and how Christian education plays into it.
Overtime: If you saw Pastor Wilson on Tucker Carlson recently, the episode was titled "The Christian Nationalist they warned you about!"  There is perhaps no one who has leaned more into the label Christian Nationalist than Pastor Douglas Wilson. In this Overtime we ask him to define his terms and tell us why he believes Christian Nationalism is the path forward.

Unfortunately, plenty of good legislation didn't pass due to the relentless efforts of a few legislators hellbent on foisting their terrible gambling bill upon the people of Alabama.
