    Building a Biblical Worldview at Home with Ben and Julie Quine | SoCon Report Podcast

    What is a biblical worldview, and why does it matter for families today? In this episode of The SoCon Report, Family Policy Alliance President and CEO Craig DeRoche sits down with Ben Quine, Vice President of Christians Engaged, and his wife Julie, co-authors of A Biblical Worldview Primer, to explain why many of today’s cultural and moral conflicts are rooted in worldview—not merely politics or ideology. A Biblical Worldview Primer is a devotional-style resource designed to help parents and families understand how the Bible defines truth, life, and purpose. The book walks readers through the story of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, showing how God’s Word fits together and how it applies to everyday life. In this conversation, Ben and Julie discuss: - How a biblical worldview is formed and why it is often shaped in childhood - Why Scripture—not culture—must define truth - How parents can disciple their children using God’s Word at home - Where lasting hope is found when institutions and systems fall short The episode also explores how returning to Scripture brings clarity in confusing times and helps families build a strong, lasting foundation.

    Faith on Trial: What Jason McGuire’s Story Means for Every Christian

    This week on The SoCon Report, we’re bringing you one of the most important and sobering conversations we’ve ever hosted. I sat down with Jason McGuire, Executive Director of New York Families Foundation, whose newly released documentary Inmate 090198 tells the full story of what happened when the state came after him for standing firm in his Christian convictions. Many of you know Jason as a faithful advocate for life, family, and religious liberty in one of the toughest political climates in the country. What fewer people know is the personal cost he paid when New York Attorney General Letitia James launched charges against him, setting off years of legal pressure and intense public scrutiny. Jason’s account reveals the growing reality of lawfare aimed at silencing Christian and conservative voices. In our interview, Jason talks openly about the moment the charges came, how he processed the accusations, and what it was like to spend his first weekend behind bars as a husband, father, and ministry leader. He also shares how the Lord strengthened him when the weight of the situation felt overwhelming. Jason’s new documentary Inmate 090198 is now available, and I cannot encourage you strongly enough to watch it. His story is a warning, but it is also a testimony of God’s faithfulness in the fire.

    Court Upholds Texas Law Protecting Children from Sexual Performances

    A major legal victory has been announced in Texas that impacts every family in America, and we’re excited to share the news! In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Covey, Director of Policy at Texas Values. Jonathan and his team played a central role in securing a significant legal win when the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a federal injunction against Senate Bill 12. This is the Texas law designed to protect children from exposure to drag shows and “hyper sexualized performances.” This ruling allows SB 12 to move forward, and it marks a meaningful step in the effort to safeguard children from inappropriate performances that have no place in front of kids. Jonathan has spent years working in the Texas Capitol and as a senior policy analyst in the state senate. His experience gives him a unique perspective on why this issue matters and what comes next in the broader fight to defend families. In the episode, we walk through how the case unfolded, why the appeals court sided with Texas, and how this ruling addresses the First Amendment claims critics often raise. We also talk about how this victory could serve as a model for other states and the additional battles Texas Values is facing right now.

    Nebraska Ends Taxpayer Funding of Abortions Services, with Nate Grasz

    There is big news out of Nebraska’s pro-life movement—and we want you to hear the story directly from the people who helped make it happen. In the latest episode of The SoCon Report, Family Policy Alliance CEO Craig DeRoche sits down with Nate Grasz, President of Nebraska Family Alliance, to talk about one of the most significant pro-life victories in recent years.

This bold action cuts off taxpayer funding to abortion providers across Nebraska, advancing a true culture of life. In this episode, Craig and Nate discuss: How Nebraska’s pro-life leaders turned a legal victory into lasting policy changeWhat it took to build political and grassroots momentum for such a historic moveHow other states can follow Nebraska’s exampleAnd how you can help advance life-affirming change in your community This inspiring conversation is a must-watch for everyone who believes in protecting life and ensuring taxpayer dollars never fund abortion.

    Inside the Supreme Court Case on Colorado’s Counseling Ban, with Joseph Kohm

    What happened at the U.S. Supreme Court on October 7 could reshape the future of free speech, religious liberty, and counseling for children struggling with gender identity. The case is Chiles v. Salazar, a direct challenge to Colorado’s law that bans licensed counselors from helping minors accept their biological sex, even when that’s what the child and family want. In other words, the state is trying to control what counselors are allowed to say. Joseph Kohm, our Vice President of Public Policy and co-host of the podcast House to Home, joins Craig in our latest episode of The SoCon Report. Joseph was in Washington, D.C., during the oral arguments and witnessed the events unfold. In this episode, we break down: The shocking claims made by Colorado’s Solicitor General in defense of the lawHow Justice Samuel Alito compared the state’s argument to America’s dark history of eugenics, andWhat this case means for parents, counselors, churches, and your freedom to seek biblical guidance This is more than a courtroom battle. It is about who has the right to speak truth and help hurting children: families or the government.
