Greg Seltz invites Kerry Severino, president of the Judicial Crisis Network, to discuss the recent Supreme Court leak, which Severino argues is more serious than the Dobbs leak as it appears to involve internal deliberations among Supreme Court justices.

Albert Mohler has an extended conversation with American sociologist and author James Davison Hunter about the cultural shifts Hunter observed in the late 1980s and how they mirrored historical conflicts. Hunter explains that his research revealed a new cultural divide where conservative religious groups united across traditions, while progressive religious groups did the same, marking a shift from political-economic concerns to moral and cultural authority.

Albert Mohler and James Davidson Hunter discuss more from Hunter's book, “Democracy and Solidarity: On the Cultural Roots of America’s Political Crisis.” Hunter's focus in the book is on the implicit philosophical questions underlying every society, such as the nature of reality, truth, and community, which most people are not consciously aware of but still influence cultural conflicts.

Charlie Kirk and Pastor Allen Jackson, author of Jesus, His Followers & Politics: This Is Our Time, discuss the reluctance of pastors to engage in cultural and political issues, contrasting it with past church involvement in public discourse. Jackson argues that churches must confront societal challenges with a biblical worldview.

Bill Bunkley and Christian apologist, Alex McFarland, discuss concerns over Colorado’s gender policies and the lack of parental involvement in schools, citing recent controversies in Jefferson County Public Schools. McFarland criticizes the push for progressive agendas in public institutions, warning that abandoning traditional values and parental rights leads to societal decline.

Eric Metaxas and Katy Faust, author of Pro-Child Politics: Why Every Cultural, Economic, and National Issue Is a Matter of Justice for Children, discuss why all policy decisions should prioritize children's rights, needs, and well-being. Faust argues that on issues like marriage, debt, and identity, children are being sacrificed for adult desires and calls for a societal shift to protect children's rights and well-being.
