There is an all-out War on Our Kids, bombarding them with “lies so clever they sound like the truth. (Eph 4:14)” As parents, we are the ones responsible for what fills our kids’ hearts and minds. We have to teach them before a broken world reaches them. We also discuss our ground-breaking book, PRO-LIFE KIDS!, and how we can never give up the battle for our children’s very lives. We can’t allow the world to shout a lie louder than we proclaim the Truth.

In 2013, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization–the NAACP–sued The Radiance Foundation and Ryan Bomberger, personally, for (accurately) parodying their name. The National Association for the A̶d̶v̶a̶n̶c̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ Abortion of Colored People lied in court documents that they are “neutral on abortion” when they passed a resolution supporting abortion, regularly partner with and fiercely defend Planned Parenthood, and publicly advocate FOR abortion. We reveal the shocking details of the surreal federal #freespeech lawsuit and how the radically pro-abortion NAACP is a prime example of civil rights gone wrong.

Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X both fought for racial justice. Both had radically different approaches to how that could be achieved. MLK believed in non-violence. Malcolm X believed in violence “by any means necessary.” King promoted a Gospel-centered approach. Malcolm X promoted an unbiblical one. As Christians who are to seek the truth that sets us free, what IS the #BlackLivesMatter movement’s approach? There can be no justice without righteousness; they both form the foundation of God’s throne (Psalm 89:14). This show is a must-hear for every one who is called as an ambassador of Christ. Who are we representing?

Race. It’s a made-up thing, and we’re not afraid to go there. We can’t shy away from having tough conversations, but we have to have the right starting point. There is no justice without truth, and the only Truth that is immutable is God’s Word. It illuminates how we fight the sin of racism…how we fight sin, period. This podcast shines a light on how our marriage was once considered illegal, a little American civil rights history, Ahmaud Arbery, LeBron James and Blamestream media. Get ready to dive in to some deep waters.

But her faith and love brought many moments of joy and triumph.

Harvard is holding an anti-homeschooling (anti-schoolchoice) summit in June. Harvard Law Professor and summit leader, Elizabeth Bartholet, believes children belong to the State and that parents have no natural rights to their children.

As an interracial homeschooling couple, we shred a bunch of Harvard’s Ivy League bogus claims (using things like facts) and provide powerful examples of and resources for #schoolchoice.
