Engage Arizona at SoConCon 25: Jason McGuire on Faith, Freedom, and Fighting Lawfare in New York

At SoConCon 25 in Indianapolis, Bob Trent sits down with Jason McGuire, President of New York Families Foundation. Jason shares his journey from pastoring in the Finger Lakes to leading a statewide advocacy organization, confronting cultural battles on life, marriage, and justice.

In this candid conversation, Jason reveals how the New York Attorney General targeted him and his ministry through subpoenas, investigations, and lawfare—ultimately leading to a jail sentence over minor reporting errors. He also explains the deeper spiritual mission behind his work, the importance of standing firm in faith, and how Christians can find common ground—even in deeply blue states.

Topics discussed:

• From pastor to advocate: why Jason stepped into public policy
• The fight for life, marriage, and truth in New York
• Building common ground on protecting kids from pornography
• How lawfare is weaponized against Christian conservatives
• Why prayer and spiritual leadership must remain central
