Want to change Washington by rewriting the rules? Not so fast. We sit down with constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton to pull back the curtain on the modern push for an Article V constitutional convention—and why the promise of a “limited” convention is a myth with stakes too high to ignore. Joe walks us through the lean language of Article V, showing how it lacks guidance on delegate selection, voting rules, convention scope, and enforcement. That vacuum invites capture by big money and national organizations eager to shape the charter itself, putting core rights—from life to the Second Amendment—at real risk.

We go beyond procedure to the heart issue: paper doesn’t turn oath-breakers into oath-keepers. If leaders already ignore their oaths, extra lines in the Constitution won’t restore fidelity. The better path is the older path—virtue in candidates, informed citizens who know the Bill of Rights, and states that use the Tenth Amendment to enforce limits. Joe lays out concrete examples of state-level resistance working right now, from gun policy to raw milk and marijuana, proving federalism still has teeth when locals engage.

The conversation closes with a clear action step: build influence where it counts. Your state legislators know your name, answer your calls, and vote on measures that either open or block a convention. Use streamlined tools to email committees, attend hearings, and make your voice matter. And stay tuned—next week we tackle the two biggest selling points for a convention, the balanced budget amendment and term limits, and why enforcement often beats rewriting.

A sealed door. A silent pause. Then rain on a roof no one had ever heard before. We open with the stark drama of ark dark and follow Noah’s family from fear to freedom, tracing how God first invites people into rest and then sends them out with purpose. That rhythm—come in for refuge, go out for mission—becomes the thread that ties Genesis 8 to the words of Jesus and the everyday choices we face.

We walk through the text where God tells Noah’s family to leave the ark and fill the earth, echoing the original command to be fruitful and multiply. Along the way we face the tension between God’s design for abundance and the many moments in history when fear tried to choke growth—infanticide, genocidal regimes, and policies that treat children as liabilities. Drawing from Psalm 127, we make a countercultural case: children are gifts, not interruptions, and life is meant to be welcomed. That same mindset carries into spiritual formation. If the ark was an ark of rest, it was also a launchpad for impact.

From there we turn to disciple-making and why multiplication outpaces addition. Using Paul’s charge in 2 Timothy 2:2, we map a simple, repeatable chain: teach faithful people who teach others also. A penny-doubling illustration brings the math to life, but the heart remains pastoral: invest in one person for a year, repeat, and trust God with the compounding results. We also name the friction—people can be fickle, plans stall, and momentum fades. Still, obedience is the path forward: rest in Christ, step out in faith, and multiply what you’ve received.

If you’re hungry for a faith that moves from safety to sending, from scarcity to abundance, and from isolated effort to generational impact, this conversation will steady your steps.

Ever wonder why so many smart people feel lost when policy gets real? We invited Dan Fenton from Patriot Academy to walk us through a practical path from frustration to action—one living room class, one church cohort, one teen legislative debate at a time. Dan’s story moves from aviation management and profound personal loss to a renewed calling: equip citizens to understand the Constitution from the founders’ own words and use that knowledge to love their neighbors through clear, local action.

We unpack the heartbeat of Patriot Academy, founded by former Texas legislator Rick Green: form leaders of character who can read primary sources, reason from first principles, and navigate real legislative process. Dan explains core offerings like Constitution Alive, filmed at Independence Hall with David Barton, and Biblical Citizenship, which connects faith-informed ethics to everyday civic responsibility. We also spotlight Rebuilding Liberty, a four-part, highly practical series that helps participants choose an issue—parental rights, property rights, election engagement—and map the specific steps to make a measurable difference before the midterms and beyond.

What makes this model work is accessibility. Anyone can become a free host at PatriotAcademy.com, stream sessions at home or church, and invite friends, students, or a homeschool co-op. Workbooks translate the Constitution into plain English alongside the original text, and flexible formats fit lunch breaks or Sunday afternoons. For teens, regional and national leadership congresses turn abstract civics into hands-on learning: draft a bill, debate it, feel the momentum of process. Alumni stories show how confidence grows when young people see how laws are made and where their voices count.

If you care about civic literacy, parental rights, or simply want your community to think clearly and act with grace, this conversation offers a friendly on-ramp. Listen, share with someone who’s ready to host a class, and help us grow a generation that knows the text, loves their neighbors, and steps up with courage. Enjoy the episode, and if it sparks ideas, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us where you’d launch your first class.

A man lifts the covering of an ark and stares into a world made strange—mud-caked plains, unsettled skies, and the quiet left by judgment. We walk through that moment with Noah and trace the precise timeline of birds, days, and decisions, then widen the lens to the sweeping changes a global cataclysm could unleash. Oceans growing, mountains heaving upward, climates splitting into ice and desert, and human lifespans bending downward—each thread connects to a coherent picture of a post-flood Earth.

From there we head beneath our feet. Fossil beds spanning continents tell a story of rapid burial and vast energy. We unpack why marine invertebrates often sit deep in the record while larger land animals appear higher, and how mobility, habitat, and water flow could explain the order. The coelacanth surfaces as a provocative example—once labeled a relic of deep time, now alive and well—nudging us to reconsider assumptions about extinction dates and layer meanings. Polystrate trees and mixed deposits remind us that geology can be messy, especially if formed under violent conditions.

We also talk about worldview. Data does not speak without interpretation, and whether you come with a uniformitarian or biblical lens shapes what patterns you see and which questions you ask. Our aim is not to score points but to offer a cohesive reading of Scripture and science that honors both judgment and mercy. If the ark foreshadows Christ, rescue is personal and present: safety through chaos, gratitude over pride, and hope that looks beyond the storm to solid ground. Listen, test the claims, and share your take—we welcome thoughtful pushback and honest curiosity.

Start with the data, stay with the people. That’s the pulse of our conversation with Brian Hooker, PhD—biochemical engineer, researcher, and chief scientific officer at Children’s Health Defense—who traces how a family crisis led to two decades of FOIA digging, contested publications, and a book designed to make complex evidence visible to every parent. We unpack what happens when you compare vaccinated and unvaccinated groups in real-world studies, why some signals around chronic illness and neurodevelopment keep appearing, and how clear visuals can change minds faster than long abstracts.

Brian walks us through the backstory of Vax Unvax: Let the Science Speak, co-authored with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and why assembling studies with unvaccinated controls became an urgent mission after federal agencies declined to run direct comparisons. We talk about aluminum adjuvants, polysorbate 80, and potential mechanisms that could help explain observed outcomes. We also address one of the hardest topics: SIDS patterns around well-baby visits, with new state-level data suggesting higher risk after clustered two-month vaccinations, especially among girls. Throughout, we keep circling back to informed consent—what it looks like in a clinic room, why timing matters, and how to slow decisions without fear when immediate disease risk is low.

If you’re a clinician, a parent, or a skeptic who wants more than slogans, this episode invites you to weigh studies, question assumptions, and make decisions with eyes open. We share resources, discuss journal roadblocks, and reflect on how to practice medicine in a way that values transparency over pressure.

A dove with an olive leaf, a window cracked open to a washed world, and a family waiting for dry ground—Genesis 8 gives us a vivid frame to see God’s justice and mercy side by side. We walk through Noah’s long year, trace the raven and the dove, and face the question many raise today: can a loving God also judge? Rather than dodge the tension, we let Scripture guide us from the Flood to Sodom and Gomorrah and forward to Revelation’s winepress, where heaven itself declares that God’s judgments are true and righteous.

What emerges is not a harsh deity but the Holy One who loves without lying about evil. We push back on the comfortable claim “my God isn’t like that” by listening to the Bible’s witness: the Judge of all the earth does what is right, spares the righteous, and opposes corruption. Then we turn to the surprising center of Christian hope—imputed righteousness. Noah found favor because he believed, and his faith took shape as obedience. In Christ, that pattern culminates: God credits the righteousness of Jesus to those who trust Him, not because of works but by grace through faith. The cross is not a minor footnote; it is the ark that carries us through the flood of judgment.

Along the way, we explore how a strong view of divine justice actually anchors compassion, courage, and moral clarity in a confused age. If judgment is real, grace is astonishing; if holiness is true, mercy becomes more than a slogan. We end with a clear reminder that our only plea is the blood of Jesus, our only hope the finished work of the crucified and risen Lord. Listen, reflect, and share with someone who needs a sturdy word about love, justice, and the righteousness only Christ can give.

A plane touches down in Bethel and everything changes. What began as a single trip becomes a years-long commitment to Alaska’s remote villages, shaped not by big events but by small tables, shared stories, and the courage to listen. We open up about what we learned from Native communities—family first, care for elders, and the quiet strength of sharing—and how that humility reshaped our mission from “bringing answers” to honoring God’s image in culture and walking with people through real pain.

We talk frankly about the hard realities: high suicide rates, addiction, and isolation in roadless communities with limited access to care. We also face a difficult missionary legacy in Alaska and why we chose a different posture—repentant, relational, and patient. That led us to focus on two places, Kivalina and Good News Bay, where we now spend seven to ten days each month. No stages, no hurry, just presence. In Good News Bay, a dusty binder listed hundreds of infant baptisms but only two adult baptisms since the 1970s. This year, seven people chose baptism—some in a bathtub—alongside first steps of sobriety, reconciled marriages, and a fresh desire to build stable homes.

Along the way, we share the heartbeat behind the work: peace and joy that do not depend on changing circumstances but on the One who meets us in them. We outline the scope—roughly 100 villages with no gospel presence—and the practicals, from small teams to bush plane logistics and why one transformed life is worth every mile. If the story of Kivalina and Good News Bay stirs you, consider praying, sharing, or partnering so more villages across Alaska can experience lasting hope.

A single verse in Genesis launches a century-spanning adventure: did Noah’s Ark truly rest on the mountains of Ararat, and can it be found today? We trace the trail from ancient testimony to modern expeditions, weighing bold claims, failed climbs, and famous controversies along the way. From Josephus and Chrysostom to Frederick Parrot, James Bryce, and astronaut James Irwin, the mountain draws explorers with the promise of proof and the hope of closure. The Russian aviator tale unravels under scrutiny, and the Durupinar “boat” shape bends back to geology, reminding us how easily longing can outrun evidence.

As we sort through competing locations, shifting timelines, and personal testimonies—Georgie Hagopian’s cliffside Ark, Ed Davis’s wartime sighting—we step back to ask the deeper question: what do we really want to find? The Torah moves past the Ark without assigning it ongoing sacred power, and that narrative choice matters. Isaiah’s call to seek the Lord, not relics, reframes the search. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus presses the point: those who ignore Moses and the prophets won’t be convinced by spectacle. If the Resurrection does not soften a heart, no weathered beam will.

We don’t dismiss history, science, or the thrill of discovery. We honor them, and then place them in their right order. Faith stands on the living Word, not the hope of a perfect artifact; transformation comes through the gospel preached in the power of the Spirit. That’s the pivot of our conversation: from icy slopes and debated photos to the clear call to seek, trust, and speak. If you’re stirred by the mystery of Ararat, lean into the greater wonder—grace that changes lives.
