    The Township Clerk Who Took on Michigan's Election Machine | Stephanie Scott, Part 1 (Ep.51)

    What happens when a small-town clerk starts asking questions no one else dared to ask?In this powerful first installment of a two-part interview, we sit down with Stephanie — a former insurance professional and engineering document controller turned Adams Township Clerk in Hillsdale County, Michigan. Elected in the 2020 election, Stephanie quickly discovered something deeply troubling about the way elections are run: the machines weren't being properly tested, records were being ordered deleted, and when she pushed back, the full weight of the state came down on her.From uncovering a 11.5% voter discrepancy in her tiny township, to refusing to hand over a voting tabulator without a search warrant, to being raided while at work 45 minutes away — Stephanie's story is a masterclass in what it looks like to follow the law when the system pressures you to look the other way.In Part 1, we cover:• Stephanie's background — from Minneapolis to Hillsdale, Michigan• How she stumbled into becoming a township clerk• Her first red flags about tabulator testing and ballot logic• The letters from Jonathan Brater and the Michigan Bureau of Elections• The raid on her township office — while she was at work• How she found attorney Stephanie Lambert through a divine series of events• The electronic poll book data she refused to delete — and what it revealedThis is not a partisan story. It's a story about one woman's refusal to just "follow the checklist" when the math didn't add up — and what that decision cost her.

    In this powerful episode of Finally A Decent Podcast, host Bill Johnson sits down with veteran counselor Rob Jackson — who has over 30 years of experience with Focus on the Family and now runs his own coaching practice in Altamonte Springs, Florida — for a deeply honest conversation about one of the most urgent moral crises of our time: pornography.Together, they tackle the hard questions:How does God define pornography — and why does that matter more than Webster's?Why has the Christian community become so desensitized to sexual sin?How is AI about to make today's pornography look tame by comparison?What does it really mean to raise children in a "Christian home" — and where are we falling short?How do heart, mind, body, and relationships all connect in the fight for purity?Rob shares his "Icebergology" approach — rooted in Romans 7:15–8:13 — that goes beyond behavior modification to address the root issues of the inner man. He also opens up about his own spiritual journey, the gap between religiosity and genuine devotion, and why a greater love for God is the only lasting cure.📖 Rob's upcoming book: When Grace Meets Conviction: Loving God and Your LGBT Child — available October 6th on Amazon and at gracemeetsconviction.com🌐 Rob's website: icebergology.com📞 Rob's phone: 719-440-4893 (free discovery calls available)If this episode spoke to you or someone you know, please share it.

    In this episode (44) of Finally a Decent Podcast, host Bill Johnson sits down with Tim Wildmon — president of the American Family Association (AFA) — for a deeply personal conversation about faith, family, and one man's unlikely crusade to reclaim American culture. Tim shares the inside story of how his father, Don Wildmon, walked away from the pulpit in 1977, started the National Federation for Decency out of their family home in Tupelo, Mississippi, and built it into one of the most influential pro-family organizations in the country — all because he was disturbed by what was on TV.
