1819 News: The Podcast 1819 News: After Hours

The COVID lockdowns pulled back the curtain on every level of our society. Wequickly found out who has the courage to stand on principle and who caved to the tyrannical forces of power. In a deeper way, we came to see what our leaders, friends, and family really valued. The results were deeply troubling.
For many of us, our faith is our core strength and motivator. It shapes our every action and inaction. As faith is our guide, we need our pastors, our shepherds, to be courageous in the face of the prowling wolves.
Unfortunately, we saw a lot of pastors and priests waver in the face of authoritarian policies. In the wake of the lockdowns, there’s been a quiet reshuffling as Christians seek out shepherds they can trust to stand strong. As such, the question of whether someone should find another church has become increasingly prevalent.
Pastor Rich Lusk discusses this issue with Bryan Dawson, helping listeners evaluate and discern whether they should stay or find a new church home. It’s not an easy or light decision and, thankfully, Pastor Lusk gives some great tips and questions we should all consider.
In this week's overtime segment Bryan and Rich Lusk discuss Christians in the political arena. Specifically, Pastor Lusk asks the question, “Where are our Dusty Deavers?”

Caroleene Dobson is the definition of a dark horse candidate, she has gone from unknown to prominence by traveling the state, speaking, and doing media hits. What everyone is noticing is that she is incredibly intelligent, has a deep grasp of every political problem facing our country, and, most importantly, has solutions.
Most politicians and candidates speak in sound bites they hope pander to polling data, but that's not Caroleene. She engages in a 45 min conversation with Bryan and pulls no punches.

Despite having a Republican governor and Republican supermajority in the


Alabama House and Senate for over a decade, there had been no movement on school choice and education freedom.


 


In fact, Gov Ivey had been diametrically opposed to it, as has state House and Senate leadership, despite parental rights and education freedom being part of the ALGOP Party Platform.


 


That all changed this year.


 


Bryan brings on School Choice evangelist, Corey DeAngelis, to talk about the history of the school choice movement and why there has been such a shift across the nation with 13 states adopting Education Savings Accounts since COVID.


 


They analyze the CHOOSE Act that the state House passed and compare it to other states. (Update: The Alabama Senate also passed the CHOOSE Act and Governor Ivey signed it into law shortly after this recording.)


 


Corey also discusses the "bloodbath" on Super Tuesday in Texas for anti-school choice, NEA-sponsored, Republican-incumbent legislators his organization targeted.
