  • Unmasking the Secular Lies About America’s Founding with Mark David Hall

    Unmasking the Secular Lies About America’s Founding with Mark David Hall
    Apr 10 2026

    This week, Aaron, David, and Mike dig into the 2026 Family Structure Index, which reveals our state has dropped from #29 to #30 in the US for family stability. This is an economic and safety crisis for our families that no government program can fix, but the Church is uniquely equipped to address. The guys also shed light on the new parasite that Ohio is inviting into our communities through predatory sports gambling apps. They discuss the recent press conference at the Ohio Statehouse, where CCV stood alongside a coalition of lawmakers, public health experts, and former athletes to announce a major overhaul of Ohio’s sports betting laws: The Save Ohio Sports Act.

    After the news, David and Mike are joined by Dr. Mark David Hall, Professor in Regent University’s Robertson School of Government. Hall demolishes the secular myths surrounding America’s founding and unmasks the truth: our nation was built on the objective reality of human sin and the necessity of biblical justice. This conversation empowers every believer to reject the godless Utopianism of the Left and stand firmly on our Christian heritage.

  • The Jael Model: Beyond Tradwives and Girl Bosses with Emma Waters

    The Jael Model: Beyond Tradwives and Girl Bosses with Emma Waters
    Apr 3 2026

    Today, Aaron, Mike, and special guest Maria Baer celebrate a massive Supreme Court victory for the First Amendment and biblical truth. With their 8-1 ruling in favor of therapist Kaley Chiles, the Court struck a blow against the Left’s 15-year crusade to ban so-called "conversion therapy" and muzzle Christian counselors. Listen to this episode of The Narrative to hear how the radical lobby uses state power to embrace evil and alienate children from reality and truth.

    After the news, Heritage Foundation Policy Analyst Emma Waters joins the hosts to shatter the modern "girl boss" and "tradwife" delusions with her new book, Lead Like Jael. Emma breaks down how the biblical story of Jael provides a new blueprint for women to cultivate uniquely feminine virtues like shrewdness and discernment in a culture that treats womanhood and motherhood as liabilities. From exposing the "toxic empathy" of the radical Left to calling out the Church’s own failure to articulate the goodness of marriage, Emma shares how a productive, Christ-centered home is the ultimate weapon against an enemy that always attacks the family first.

  • Ohio's Foundation of Faith with Sen. Bernie Moreno and AG Dave Yost

    Ohio's Foundation of Faith with Sen. Bernie Moreno and AG Dave Yost
    Mar 27 2026
    In this episode of The Narrative, Aaron, David, and Mike expose the radical left’s latest assault on children. David breaks down the chaos in the Ohio House, where activists in full drag regalia—backed by the entire Democrat caucus—demanded the "right" to perform in front of children. The hosts also call out the legacy media for its deceptive "experimental" labeling of life-saving abortion pill reversals and explore a massive legal hammer coming for Big Tech’s "addiction engineering" of our kids.Then, Senator Bernie Moreno and Attorney General Dave Yost offer profound reflections on the spiritual foundations of Ohio’s heritage. Sen. Moreno reminds us of John Adams' warning that our Constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone but a moral and religious people. Finally, AG Yost delivers a masterclass on Thomas Worthington, the "Father of Ohio," proving that a fearless, Christ-centered loyalty is the only reason for Ohio’s unique impact on the Republic.Tune in now or queue up your commute podcast! More about Senator Bernie Moreno Bernie Moreno was born in Bogota, Colombia. He moved to the United States with his family at age five and became an American citizen at age 18. Bernie purchased his first car dealership in 2005 and grew that one dealership into one of the largest dealership groups in America, eventually employing over 1,000 Ohioans. More recently, in 2016, Bernie recognized the value and transformational potential of blockchain technology, before it received mainstream attention, and moved much of his volunteer time and investment dollars into the space. Bernie believes that Ohioans deserve better than what they've gotten from Washington, and he will fight to better their lives in the United States Senate. More about Attorney General Dave Yost Dave Yost was re-elected as Ohio’s 51st attorney general on Nov. 8, 2022, receiving more votes than any other attorney general in the state’s history. During his first term as the state’s chief legal officer, he quickly gained a national reputation as a fearless advocate for the rule of law, or as he puts it, “the same rules for everybody.” Yost’s goal is to “do big good” for the people of Ohio by protecting consumers, rooting out corruption, defending the environment, ensuring an open and competitive marketplace, and fulfilling the many other duties of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. Yost began his public-service career as Delaware County auditor, later winning election as that county’s prosecutor. From 2011 through 2018, he served as Ohio’s auditor of state and, in January 2019, began his first term as attorney general. Yost earned his bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University and his law degree from Capital University. He and his wife, Darlene, live in Franklin County; they have three grown children and five grandchildren. Want to Go Deeper?
