    Truth Over Myths: Defending Our Elections

    In a time when election integrity has become one of the most heated debates in America, CURE America with Donald T. Eason delivers bold, straightforward conversations that cut through the noise. Hosted by Donald T. Eason, President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), this compelling weekly series tackles the tough issues facing our nation — with a special focus on protecting the integrity of our elections, strengthening our democracy, and renewing urban communities from the ground up. In the powerful premiere episode, Eason takes on the controversial Save America Act head-on. He systematically dismantles the most common myths surrounding the bill: from claims of "voter suppression" and disenfranchising women, to accusations of a federal takeover of elections. With clear facts, real-world examples, and a passionate defense of common-sense reforms, Eason shows how the Save America Act simply ensures that only American citizens can register and vote — while preserving mail-in registration, accepting multiple forms of ID, and leaving states in control of their own elections. Viewers will hear why 83% of Americans support the bill, how everyday citizens (including married women) already have easy paths to vote, and why acting now is not reckless — it's responsible. Blending policy breakdowns, myth-busting segments, and inspiring calls to action, CURE America doesn't shy away from controversy. Each episode brings clarity to complex issues, rooted in the belief that secure elections, strong communities, and Judeo-Christian principles are essential to saving America.

    Inside the SAVE America Act – Election Integrity, Women's Sports, and Protecting Minors

    In this episode, host Donald T. Eason sits down one-on-one with CURE's Vice President of Government Relations and Coalitions, Marty Dannenfelser—a Washington veteran with over 40 years of experience in policy advocacy—for a candid, in-depth conversation on the key issues shaping American families, faith, and freedom in 2026.   Together they explore the real-world impact of President Trump's Working Families Tax Cuts (the "one big, beautiful bill" signed in 2025), including expanded child and adoption credits, new Trump Accounts that provide a $1,000 government seed for newborns plus up to $5,000 in annual family contributions, locked-in senior deductions, and average family savings of $1,700–$3,400 already appearing on tax returns.   The discussion dives into the ongoing fight for school choice through scholarship-granting organizations—why the Senate parliamentarian blocked a straightforward federal tax credit, how blue-state governors are refusing to opt in, and the momentum behind Reconciliation 2.0 to restore full credits so parents can direct education dollars away from indoctrination and toward options that best serve their children.   They cover protections to keep Social Security and Medicare solvent by preventing misuse, the SAVE America Act's commonsense provisions (proof of citizenship to register, photo ID to vote, fairness in women's sports, and safeguards for minors against irreversible gender procedures), the serious abortion pill crisis (mail-order and telehealth loopholes bypassing safety rules and state pro-life laws, resulting in documented harms, coercion, and deaths), and major religious liberty advances—from Supreme Court victories influenced by Trump appointees to executive actions defending faith-based adoption, medical conscience rights, school prayer, and parental authority.   Marty reflects on four decades in D.C., sharing insights on declining civility since the Reagan era, brutal judicial nomination battles, the Dobbs leak, and what it will take to rebuild trust and deliver results for everyday Americans.   This faith-grounded, no-nonsense conversation delivers policy wins, honest challenges, and a clear vision for restoring opportunity, protecting life, securing elections, defending faith, and empowering parents and families.   Tune in now for this essential update from CURE America—stay informed and engaged!

    Why Trillions Haven't Healed Our Cities – And What Will

    In this powerful opening episode, Pastor Donald T. Eason, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), introduces viewers to the mission of CURE and delivers a straight-from-the-heart message about the true path to healing America's urban communities.  Drawing from his own upbringing in Detroit—once the richest city in the world, now a shadow of its former self with a drastically reduced population—Pastor Eason shares personal stories of single-parent struggles, temporary government assistance, and the dignity that comes from work and self-reliance. He explains how decades of massive federal spending have failed urban America, pointing to sobering statistics: doubled single-parent households since 1970, 50% of Black children in fatherless homes, Black women accounting for 40% of abortions, high Black teen unemployment, and a persistent 18.4% Black poverty rate in 2024. Pastor Eason contrasts CURE's approach—rooted in faith, family, freedom, personal responsibility, and opportunity—with the results of big-government programs and larger organizations that, he argues, have perpetuated dependency rather than solved it. He highlights CURE as the only Washington, D.C. think tank focused on urban issues from a Judeo-Christian perspective, spotlighting key publications like the report on education choice as a moral imperative for parents, the impact of abortion on the Black community, and the Cato Institute–praised book The State of Black Progress. He promotes the "success sequence" (education → job → marriage → children), calls for reviving trades and manufacturing jobs, and urges viewers to support solutions that restore dignity instead of relying on prolonged government aid. With direct biblical references, a no-compromise stance on faith and values, and a challenge to judge organizations by real results, this episode lays out a clear vision: the real cure for urban America isn't more government—it's faith, hard work, family, and personal responsibility. A compelling, truth-telling start to the series that calls viewers to action and hope.

    Breaking Yokes – Faith, Self-Reliance, and America's Promise

    Welcome to CURE America with Donald T. Eason. Today we bring you an in-depth, Scripture-centered conversation between Pastor Errol Beckford of Celebration Tabernacle Church in Cocoa, Florida, and Pastor Morris Odioko of Winners Chapel International in Tulsa, Oklahoma—moderated by Grace Glass, Executive Manager of Operations for CURE.   In this compelling exchange from our National Clergy Summit, these two immigrant pastors share hard-won wisdom on America's dual reality: its undeniable history of injustice and its unparalleled opportunities for health, wealth, education, gospel advancement, and human flourishing. Drawing from personal journeys—one from Jamaica, the other from Nigeria—they explore how black communities can reclaim empowering mindsets.   They discuss rekindling education as a sacred inheritance and the "great equalizer," rejecting prolonged government dependency in favor of cultural dignity, self-reliance, and biblical productivity. Anchored in powerful verses like Joshua 1:8, Philippians 4:19, Ecclesiastes 9:11, and Genesis 1, they emphasize identity in Christ over worldly labels, the mindset of being distributors of God's supply, and seizing opportunities without excuses—even amid opposition.   The pastors challenge the church to intentionally equip believers: feed the flock the pure Word to renew minds, break yokes of limitation, prioritize strong two-parent families, and demonstrate spiritual maturity that overflows into economic leadership and intellectual advancement—taking responsibility as the light of the world rather than waiting on government solutions.   This no-nonsense, hope-filled dialogue is a call to action for black churches and families: admit the past, seize the table God prepares, renew mindsets through truth, and build communities of faith, excellence, freedom, and lasting renewal. A powerful episode for anyone invested in America's future.

    From Graveyard of Isms to Garden of Revival: Religious Liberty Victories

    Today we bring you a compelling speech by Jonathan Alexandre at the 2025 CURE National Clergy Summit. In this powerful address on religious liberty challenges and victories, Alexandre exposes the dark "graveyard of isms"—secularism, abortionism, LGBTism, pronounism, and more—that seek to silence faith and bury God in America's public square. Yet he declares triumph: Friday always leads to Sunday, turning graveyards into gardens of revival.   Drawing from recent wins, he spotlights courageous stands—like beauty queen Kylie Busch losing her crown for refusing to affirm biological males as female, valedictorian Justin Aguilar restoring Jesus in his graduation speech after legal pushback, Maryland parents winning at the Supreme Court against LGBT curriculum for young kids, gospel-sharing door-knockers protected in subsidized housing, Liberty University safeguarding biblical doctrine, and pastors fighting job losses over biblical beliefs on marriage and sex.   Anchored in David's cry against Goliath—"Is there not a cause?"—Alexandre rallies believers to reject fear, double down on convictions, and proclaim truth boldly. The righteous are never forsaken; the gates of hell will not prevail. Tune in to CURE America for this fiery, hope-filled call to stand firm—because religious liberty is the cause worth fighting for, and God honors the faithful. Watch now and be inspired to join the battle for America's soul.

    Ian Rowe & Delano Esquire

    Welcome to CURE America with Donald T. Eason! Today, we bring you two stellar guests in an enlightening episode focused on empowering communities through agency, family values, and cultural renewal. First, join us for an in-depth interview with Ian Rowe, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, founder of Vertex Partnership Academies—a virtues-based international baccalaureate high school in the Bronx—and author of *Agency: The Four Point Plan to Overcome the Victimhood Narrative*.   Rowe shares his inspiring personal story from his Jamaican immigrant roots to leading innovative education initiatives, emphasizing the "success sequence"—completing high school, gaining full-time employment, and marrying before having children—as a data-backed pathway (with 97% poverty avoidance) to upward mobility, regardless of race or background. He discusses combating victimhood mindsets in schools, facing pushback from critics like Harvard sociologist Christina Cross who prioritize government interventions over personal choices, and his successes in advocating for success sequence education in states like Ohio and Tennessee.   Then, delve into a compelling speech by Delano Esquire, who traces the historical decline of the Black family since the 1960s, highlighting how welfare policies displaced fathers as providers, feminist movements promoted independence at the expense of partnership, and progressive black church leaders shifted from biblical family teachings to political activism, often influenced by figures like James Cone and events like the Moynihan Report. Esquire calls for urgent revival through child-centered rights, church-led marriage workshops, institutional support from HBCUs and media, and resistance to opposing forces like feminists, LGBT activists, and organizations such as Planned Parenthood, stressing that strong marriages are key to community strength and generational legacy. Join us for this eye-opening conversation on reclaiming agency, restoring family stability, and fostering true community renewal.

    Capitalism vs. Socialism

    CURE America with Donald T. Eason delivers a powerful message using the vivid caterpillar-to-butterfly metaphor: real transformation requires struggle, effort, and a renewed mind (Romans 12:2). Drawing from his inner-city Detroit upbringing and firsthand experience with government assistance, he explains how he escaped that cycle through faith, hard work, education, and embracing America's opportunities. Eason warns that well-intentioned social programs can hinder growth—like cutting open a cocoon too soon—preventing people from ever learning to "fly." He contrasts this with inspiring figures like Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, who rose through determination and self-education. The episode champions faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility, rooted in the "three C's": Christianity, the Constitution, and capitalism. Eason contrasts biblical voluntary generosity with socialism's forced redistribution—pointing to Venezuela's collapse as proof it fails—while defending capitalism as the system that rewards effort, protects property, and lifts communities. Hopeful and empowering, the show urges viewers to trust their God-given talents, embrace the struggle, and renew their minds in America's free system. It's a bold call to transformation packed with biblical truth, real-life stories, and a fresh vision for urban renewal—definitely worth watching.

    Apostle Ellis L. Smith

    CURE America with Donald T. Eason presents a powerful, no-holds-barred message from Apostle Ellis L. Smith, apostolic leader and pastor of Jubilee City Church in Detroit. In this fiery speech, Apostle Smith calls believers to adopt a true biblical worldview amid intense spiritual and ideological warfare threatening America's soul. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 10:3–6, he explains how our weapons are mighty through God to pull down strongholds, cast down false arguments, and bring every thought captive to Christ. He exposes cultural compromises, secular humanism in education, identity politics, superficial faith phrases, and mixtures like yoga in churches. Apostle Smith challenges believers to think biblically about God, truth, justice, manhood, abortion, gender, and more—rejecting worldly lenses and renewing the mind with Scripture. Sharing his inspiring story of founding the Colin Powell Academy charter school in Detroit, he shows how faith-rooted, redemptive education transformed urban students and gained national attention. This is a bold wake-up call: In these challenging times, it's our moment to shine, awaken to righteousness, and boldly represent God's Kingdom in education, culture, and every sphere of life. Tune in to CURE America for this anointed challenge to stand firm in truth and fight for the renewal of our nation!
