One week after Charlie Kirk‘s assassination, the country is still roiling and processing. When it comes to the notion of a unified country, one thing that must be discussed is various views on liberty and speech. Today we outline three different concepts on speech: enlightenment, liberalism, progressivism, and a Christian philosophy of speech.

On September 10th, 2025, Charlie Kirk, founder of TPUSA, was shot and killed. While being at a loss for words, we try to express our grief and shock, along with how to process moving forward.

Allegations have come against Michael Tait, former singer of dc Talk and The Newsboys. Subsequently, Michael Tait released a public confession, admitting to “the substance” of the accusations. This was followed by many more allegations of an extremely serious nature. Today we discuss how to move forward. This is a very weighty moment.

Melissa Dougherty joins the show to speak about her book, “Happy Lies.” It is such a fascinating discussion that we had to make this 2 episodes! If you’ve wondered why the self-love, positivity, and wellness movements sound vaguely Christian, this episode will help explain it. It will also explain the differences between these ideas and Christianity. The most surprising aspect of this is finding out the source of these ideas, which is a movement called New Thought.

A new Barna poll has been released showing that Christianity is in decline in America. However, there have been many other signs that it is increasing. Today we look at the data and discuss what it means to truly be a follower of Jesus.
