In this episode, we welcome Joe Kennedy to the show. He used to be an assistant football coach at a public high school in Bremerton, Washington. After games, he would pray at the 50-yard line by himself. When some coaches and players noticed him doing that, some of them decided to join him at the 50 in prayer after the games. The members of his school board said that they were worried that it would violate the Establishment Clause of the US Constitution, and they tried to force Coach Kennedy to stop praying. He refused. The school responded by not renewing his coaching contract (essentially firing him). He, rightfully, sued the school board, and that fight made its way all the way to the Supreme Court in 2022, where the court ruled in favor of Kennedy, voting 6-3, that the government cannot suppress an individual’s expression of religious observance, and if they do so then they are violating the rights to Free Exercise and Free Speech. The 2024 major motion picture “Average Joe” was made about Coach Kennedy and his struggle for religious liberty. In this interview, we discuss all of that in detail and much more.

In this episode, we welcome Brittni De La Mora to the show. She was a porn star for seven years and was seen as one of the most successful and sought-after porn actresses in the world during her career.

In this episode, we discuss the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act that recently passed the US House of Representatives with only ONE vote from a Democrat. If made law (which is highly unlikely), this would require that all medical personnel involved in a botched abortion procedure that resulted in a live birth of the baby provide immediate life-saving care to the child. In the debate over this bill, a Democratic Representative made the claim that she was a “Pro-Choice Christian.” Is it even possible for a Christian to be Pro-Abortion?
