Ep 1109 | 'We Were Harming Children': Whistleblower Exposes the Nightmare Inside Gender Clinics | Guests: Jamie Reed & Vernadette Broyles

Today, we sit down with Jamie Reed, the executive director of the Courage Coalition who blew the whistle on the practices inside a pediatric "transgender" center in Missouri, to discuss the shocking practices at the center where she worked. Also joining us is her attorney Vernadette Broyles, president and general counsel at Child and Parental Rights Campaign, to shed some light on the legal implications of Jamie's exposé. Jamie tells us about some of the awful practices she witnessed children being subjected to, including surgeries for minors, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones. She also shares how she ultimately changed her mind on "gender transition" and decided to expose the clinic. We also discuss a few tragic cases that have come out of this cultural trend of transitioning children and whether or not some recent state laws to protect children indicate a shift in the culture.

Ep 1108 | UK’s Assisted Suicide Bill, Booming Bible Sales & John Piper Scorches Pronouns | Guest: Dr. Calum Miller

In today's episode, we're discussing the U.K.'s assisted dying bill, which is currently going through Parliament and would allow those with terminal illness to seek euthanasia to end their suffering. Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Calum Miller joins us to discuss the implications of this bill as well as some of the nefarious support this bill is receiving. On a happier note, we also talk about a recent Wall Street Journal article that shows that Bible sales are on the rise, especially among young people.

REPLAY | Bethany Hamilton on Women’s Sports, Faith & Motherhood

Today we sit down with professional surfer Bethany Hamilton to discuss the protection of women's sports, her surfing career, childbirth, and standing up for the pro-life cause. Bethany lost her arm in a shark attack when she was just 13 years old and overcame not just relearning how to surf with one arm, but how to compete again and win. She explains how her experience being launched into the public eye led her to share her relationship with Jesus. We talk about her decision to speak out against the World Surf League, which recently allowed men to compete in women's competitions, and the fallout of essentially being blacklisted by the league.

Ep 1106 | 'I Was Living a Double Life:' Breaking Free from LGBTQ Sin | Guest: Richard Matthews

Today, we sit down with Richard Matthews, a formerly gay influencer and speaker who was fired from his job after posting about his faith. Richard shares his testimony with us and how the Lord saved him from his sin, including his battle with a pornography addiction. Richard also tells us about how he was fired after posting about his faith and how he found his new identity in Christ after previously identifying as a gay man. We also talk about how the current LGBT community is trying to find identity in something false, when one's true identity comes from Christ alone.

Ep 1104 | DEBATE: Should ‘Trans’ Congressmen Use Women’s Bathrooms? | Guest: Brad Polumbo

Today, Laken Riley's murderer was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after being found guilty of all charges against him. Justice was served for Laken Riley and her family, though that will never replace what was stolen from them. We also discuss the latest drama at the Capitol involving Representative Nancy Mace's resolution preventing men who identify as women from using female bathrooms inside the Capitol building. This was in response to Representative-elect "Sarah" McBride, who identifies as a "transgender woman" winning the Delaware seat. We sit down with host of the Brad vs Everyone podcast, Brad Polumbo about that and things get a little spicy. And to tie it all together, we discuss the "Transgender Day of Remembrance," and some of the nonsense that certain churches started declaring in order to celebrate.

Ep 1103 | Laken Riley’s Murder Trial: Chilling Details & Why It Matters | Guest: Dr. Albert Mohler

Today, we're going over the heartbreaking story of Laken Riley, the Augusta University nursing student who was brutally murdered, and the trial for her accused killer, Jose Ibarra. Today marks day three of his trial, but even if he is found guilty, the district attorney presiding over the case chose not to seek the death penalty. We have the details on all of that and give you everything you need to know to equip yourselves against the onslaught of emotional manipulation the media is about to unleash. We also have Dr. Albert Mohler on to discuss Trump's appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services and what ramifications this could have for the pro-life movement. Dr. Mohler also gives us a little bit of early Christmas cheer and hope for this upcoming holiday season.
