David Fiorazo
[Originally aired 1/22/26] Mary welcomes back Trey Dellinger, the Senior Legal Fellow of AFA Action, the government affairs affiliate of American Family Association. Trey has his finger on the pulse of the moral issues that affect our churches and our families. Today we look at the current SCOTUS cases on trans athletes in women’s sports. Trey gives us the rundown on those cases and why he has reason for optimism. Then we look at the first amendment as it relates to protesters storming churches. Whether it’s for attention or to bait Christians about race and their perspectives on what is important, we have to see what our rights are as believers. We also take a look at how our kids can be better protected online, since parents aren’t always the best gatekeepers – although that is their job. Finally we look at Human Trafficking Prevention month. So many moral issues, how do we keep up, and how can we help pastors keep up as well?

David Arthur
Mary welcomes in studio David Arthur with a testimony about which we can only say, “Only God!”. At a very young age, David sought his identity through a deep desire for love and affirmation, having grown up with no father in the home and sexual abuse beginning at 6 years old. His story is both extremely heartbreaking and profoundly hopeful; a raw and unfiltered warning from someone who walked the full length of the road that so many youth are being encouraged to take today, one of gender dysphoria and identity confusion. For over 30 years, he was deeply immersed in what he calls the “LGBTQ+ transqueer cult” and living as a transgender woman for 20 years of that time. His is a testimony of living life inside out – until God turned his life inside out via a remarkable transformation via the planting of a seed from a corrections officer. When he finally came to the end of himself via a death sentence of full blown AIDS in his 30s, God did amazing things. The darker things get, the brighter the shining hope through Jesus Christ.

We have arrived at a moral and cultural tipping point in America and are in desperate need of a wake-up call. Let’s start with the spiritual. There are over 300,000 churches in this nation, but fewer people than ever are living out their faith. Atheism is increasing and only 2 percent of today’s young parents have a biblical worldview.
The influence of Christianity has steadily decreased while our culture has become secularized. Threats against true believers and hostility toward the God of the Bible is growing as the left has become emboldened. We may have reached our Bonhoeffer moment.
Our religious freedoms are under attack, and as the nation lurches further left and millions of Christians don’t vote in elections, some believe there’s still time to prevent the complete destruction of our nation. I’m not so sure.
Our decline began about a century ago, but in the last fifty to seventy-five years millions of religious citizens have lived their busy lives and have watched this country spiral downward in every way.
Sin is celebrated in public and as I’ve warned, evil is openly called good! The biblical literacy of Christians today is at an all-time low. Attacks on truth, free speech, and the Constitution however, are at an all-time high.
Like many of us, author of the new book Letter to the American Church, Eric Metaxas has been trying to send an urgent wake-up call to pastors and believers across the country. He believes that as Christians go, so goes America.
Metaxas states:
“It is the silence of the American church on a host of issues today that many people say, ‘Oh, that’s not a gospel-related issue. I don’t want to be divisive. I don’t want to be political.’ It is that silence which directly parallels the silence of German Christians in the early thirties, and it led to the satanic evil of the Nazi takeover of that culture where they crushed the church.”
Roughly a third of German pastors and churches compromised and were silent in the face of evil. Compromise helped enable the holocaust.
Metaxas also says if only another few thousand Protestant pastors had resisted tyranny and spoken out, the Nazis would not have succeeded. Drawing a parallel to America, much of what doomed the German church and nation is happening here and we don’t even see it.
Edmund Burke once famously said:
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Cultural Marxism has infiltrated the major institutions advancing wicked, leftist ideologies like abortion on demand, eradicating God, discriminating against Christians, softening socialism, and promoting transgenderism in public schools. Sadly, even some churches are playing along and endorsing ideas that are flat-out unbiblical.
Our own government is now openly hostile toward those who used to be protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. Campaigns attacking so-called “misinformation” were launched.
Many of us have been censored, and Metaxas explains how his national radio show was wiped off YouTube because he dared address controversial topics. He adds:
“…suddenly people said, ‘Oh, you’re not allowed to talk about that.’ And I said, ‘This is America… People have died so that we can talk about anything freely.’ But a chill has fallen over this country and the church has been silent. And there are voices in the church advocating silence… [saying] just don’t be political.”
I often remind people that someone’s morality will be legislated by those who are elected and sent to represent we the people. And as we know the nation is starkly divided. Wouldn’t you prefer biblical morality, love and real tolerance rather than the godlessness, demonic, and intolerant policies that are being implemented by Democrat socialists?
The church’s silence is especially hurting young people in many measurable ways including confusion, depression, godless entertainment, sexual brokenness, and suicide attempts. Are you willing to trust Jesus, pray, speak up, stand for righteous causes, and vote?
At BlazeTV, the staff said there is a sinister left-wing agenda being carried out across the country. The FBI is making examples of peaceful pro-life demonstrators such as Paul Vaughn. He is yet another man of faith arrested by force and intimidated who faces up to 11 years in prison. The same tactics were used against Mark Houck.
Just weeks ago I reported on Biden’s Justice Dept. neglecting its duty and choosing not to arrest a single arsonist, vandal, or pro-abortion terrorist in the more than one hundred cases since May where pro-life pregnancy centers and churches were attacked, vandalized, or firebombed.
The Blaze stated, “Church and state” has been warped into “state VERSUS the church,” and claimed as of last week there have been no indictments “for the over 170 attacks on Catholic targets since May 2020.”
We can’t expect true justice from this current government, but we can call out injustice and refuse to be silenced. There are consequences when Christians take the path of least resistance. We must not ignore evil deeds of darkness but instead, expose them (Ephesians 5:11).
People need to dust off their Bibles and America needs to dust off the Constitution. Midterm elections are coming up and demonic policies are being debated. Are you in our out? At this point in our history, the choice is still ours what we do with the time we’ve been given.

God forewarned us in the Bible. We’re now seeing Romans 1 and 2 Timothy 3 being played out in America and the world today. Evil is being called good and many are falling for deception and delusions. The reprobate mind contrasts the mind of Christ, and there is a war on the truth of Christ, on His word, and on His creation.
One of those battles heating up in our culture is over sex and gender identity. Joe Biden recently declared, “Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time.” Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…”

For those who haven't heard, June is Gay Pride month. The LGBTQ+ community and their allies are out in full force in American culture in the hopes of making converts to moral relativism and justifying unbilical lifestyles. From rainbow flags outside buildings across social media to multicolored decorations adorning your favorite shops and brands, it seems that the majority is celebrating.
But what exactly are they celebrating and how should a Christian respond to Pride month? How can we present truth in love and with grace without offending? That's a tall order, but we must obey God rather than man. We must prepare Christians to defend the faith and to speak the truth in love because ultimately, we want to build bridges to share the Gospel, not win arguments. When we are both compassionate and rational, our approach tends to be more thoughtful.

Where’s our common sense? Doesn’t this attract pedophiles, child molesters and rapists? Why are so many adults just going along with all this? Evil is being called good.
Some of us saw this coming years ago, but how did we get to the point of openly sexualizing innocent children – and promoting it as acceptable? Things that were once unthinkable have become mainstream.

It is interesting how two people can view the same exact facts and evidence, yet come to two completely different conclusions based on those facts. Born-again believers look at the wonders of this world and the created universe completely convinced it was all crafted by an amazing God. But atheists and skeptics look at the same evidence and facts and conclude that it all happened out of random chance and chaos.
As the world started introducing ideas such as free sexual expression in the 1960s and gender fluidity in the 2000s, they touted the benefits of experimentation while we as born-again believers saw serious dangers. In our final, segment, Mike and David will share some of the effects of this movement to see who was right.
But first, Carl Kerby of Reasons for Hope Ministries joins the program to talk about how Christians can use the evidence of creation all around us to point people to the truth of God and His Word.

Watch television for any length of time and you are sure to see ads for new medications promising to make your life better. And while many of these drugs have dangerous side effects, the Pharmaceutical Industry continues to make billions of dollars peddling the latest "cure" for the latest problems of life. Anti-depression medications have saturated the market and record numbers of American children are now being medicated for ADHD. Today, Mike and David discuss the dangers of over-medication and the long term effects on mental health.
On a related subject we look at two interesting, yet very sad articles that are becoming all too common in these days. First, the number of young girls struggling with "gender identity" is skyrocketing; and second, a professor in Sweden is under attack for stating something so obvious that only a fool would argue that he is wrong. Is there a connection between over medication and the intellectual insanity permeating every aspect of society?

Children of this younger generation face enormous pressures to conform to the ways of this world that many of us never imagined or had to deal with. They are being taught that at the very least they should be accepting of any and all behaviors, lifestyles, and morals, and even approve of anything but Christ (ABC). In many cases, they are being pressured to conform to unhealthy lifestyles or be ostracized and labeled a hater and bigot.
Today, Mike and David look at more studies that have come out documenting this pressure to conform to the world - along with a few scientific studies pointing out the dangers of gender dysphoria and the media's attempts to hide the findings from the public by reporting an extremely unbalanced (LGBTQ-approving) side of these stories.
Joining us to discuss this increasing pressure on young people is Tina Griffin, Counter Culture Mom, a conservative Christian activist who helps parents guard their children against the deceptions and evils of this secular society.

It's always stunning when Liberals use the Word of God to promote their anti-biblical stances; especially when they are the ones that usually fight tooth and nail against the government creating laws based on scripture. But hypocrisy knows no boundaries and this morning we look at quoted from Elizabeth Warren and Senator Cory Booker, abusing the scriptures to promote a pro-abortion agenda. yes, that's the same Cory Booker that Willow Creek elevated as a next great "Christian" leader at its leadership Summit just a few years back.
And not to be outdone in abusing scripture, Red Letter Christians have once again shown their true colors of hypocrisy, claiming to be "pro-life," but refusing to condemn abortion as sin and murder.
In our first segment this morning, Mike and Crash check in with Tina Griffin, Counter-Culture Mom, to discuss ways to protect our children from the dangers of Hollywood, video games and the internet.

The unbridled passion of the radical left to indoctrinate our children into their world view is starting to reap devastating problems onto them. Recent studies show a rapid increase in destructive behaviors among teens who are embracing the LGBTQ propaganda, and some of the decisions they are making will have lifelong negative effects.
Linda Harvey of Mission America joins us to discuss these dangerous trends and how we can combat them.
We also look at the interesting story of President Trump's Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders, being kicked out of a restaurant she hoped to dine in because her presence was causing "severe microaggressions" among the LGBTQ employees of the restaurant. Is this the new battle front of the Left? And how does this equate or relate to the jack Phillips case recently decided by the Supreme Court?

Jack Phillips was victorious in his argument in front of the Supreme Court and we praise God for the outcome. But this morning we will examine how the Court stopped far short of assuring Christians that their religious conscience would be protected. There are some warning signs that Monday's victory, while important to Phillips, might not be significant in the big picture. The battle was not won Monday; In fact, the ruling may have signaled SCOTUS is not prepared to guarantee people freedom of religious conscience that their rights will be protected.
In our first segment, we are joined by Tina Marie Griffin, "Counter Culture Mom" to look at the serious challenges parents face in raising their children morally with the impact of Hollywood, secular music and video games all around them.

We start with a basic truth: All humans are sinful and rebellious against God until the grace of God opens our eyes to our sin, leading us to confession, repentance and believing in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord of our lives. If not for the grace of God, any one of us could be deceived into believing the lies we hear throughout our culture and even in the church. Many of us who have been enlightened and saved by faith will struggle with temptation and sin until the day we die.
Today we tackle the growing confusion regarding sex, gender, identity, and sin and what we can do to lead others to the truth of God and His Word. For twenty years, Mike Levenhagen of Reclamation Resource Center has been dedicated to speaking the truth in love to those not only imprisoned to homosexual or gender-related lies, but also to those who struggle with heterosexual lust and adultery. Check out the podcast and hear Mike's testimony.

The times in which we live as disciples of Jesus Christ grow more and more bizarre just as the Bible told us they would. Ten years ago, which of us would have ever thought a defining issue in society and even in some churches would be whether God really made humans male or female?
But we are witnessing a growing number of people, including professing Christians wondering if gender might be fluid. How do we respond to this crisis about identity? The Bible teaches us to speak the truth with love and compassion for the lost. But how do we respond when no matter how compassionate and loving we are, some react with accusations of bigotry?
Dr. Ryan Anderson wrote a groundbreaking book on the subject titled When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Movement. He joins us to help us understand this groundbreaking issue and how Christians should respond.

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Truth is the self-expression of God. Either His Word is right, or the world is right. Which is it? Enemies of God have caused people to doubt the truth about creation, our origins and gender, life’s meaning, marriage, sin, eternity, judgment, and the deity of Jesus Christ.
WHY do you think there is confusion today about what bathroom people are supposed to use in public? Why wasn’t this an issue 100 years ago? 1,000 years ago?
Has God changed or has America changed?
Malcolm Muggeridge stated:
“One of the peculiar sins of the twentieth century which we’ve developed to a very high level is the sin of credulity. It has been said that when human beings stop believing in God they believe in nothing. The truth is much worse: they believe in anything.”

In the book of 1 John, the writer tells us God is love. In fact He loves so perfectly that He provided every person the opportunity to be forgiven of our sins and to spend eternity with Him through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Greater love than this the world has never known.
God loves all His creation, but does He love all men equally? Are we all "children" of God? And is God's love and provision alone enough for mankind to spend eternity in Heaven? Pastor Mike Abendroth joins us to discuss the incomparable love of God.
In the third segment, we look at a huge settlement imposed on a Wisconsin School District because they allegedly 'discriminated" against the bathroom wishes of a self-identified transgender student.

It is difficult to pick up a newspaper or open the internet without seeing another example of how media, schools and businesses are falling all over each other to comply with the demands of the LGBTQ in order to be "gender inclusive." And with the sudden exposure of sexual harassment charges against men in high positions, it is a safe bet that the LGBTQ will ride this wave to push its agenda of gender "fluidity" even further until we become so confused and dysfunctional as a society that not much will make sense anymore.
At the De Pere, Wisconsin City Council meeting last week, we shared our concerns about the non-discrimination (transgender rights) bill ultimately passed by the City, and it was sad to see young student after young student state their name and their "gender identity" such as "she/her", or "him/his," "fluid," etc. The LGBTQ community, aided by their friends in the government and National Education Association, have so confused the minds of children that many of them are headed down the road of life believing the lies of man. Yet the beat goes on and gender dysphoria grows in the minds and hearts of our young people - tomorrow's leaders in our nation, and that includes our churches.
Why are today's young people so quick to embrace moral relativism? Joining us today is Alex Nitzberg who has studied the thought process of millennials and the radical LGBTQ movement in America.

Today's guest is author, Gary Kah, of Hope for the World. We discuss many critical issues starting with the growth of "child services" agencies interceding to protect transgender children from their parents! We also talk about the impact of past elections on our nation's laws and policies, as well as the will of the people vs. the power of those in government. Will Christians mobilize since there are now so many moral issues in play?
"One question we need to ask is this: are the activists and atheists more committed to their immoral agenda or are Christians more committed to the truth of the gospel?" Gary Kah
Gary also gives some insight on technology, control of the Internet, and how dangerous it is when a handful of companies (Amazon, Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.) seem to control social media and public information.

Today we discuss some recent or pending court cases regarding religious freedom with the President of Pacific Justice Institute, Brad Dacus. He gives insight on the legal battles brewing across the country as well as the underlying evil advancing the transgender agenda. It is irresponsible to blindly affirm those who are confused about sex and gender issues, especially children who are much too young to understand or make such life-impacting, destructive body-altering decisions.
In our second segment, we report on a Christian teacher in England who was fired for "misgendering" a female student by simply saying, "good job, girls," when they were studying math together. The question is when will this begin in America?

Tonight, the City of De Pere, Wisconsin will hear public comments on its "non-discrimination" proposal that would radically change the landscape of religious freedom in the community. To our national audience, do not make the mistake thinking this is only about a small community in the Midwest: The battle is headed your way if it is not already there.
In our second segment this morning, Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Council joins us to weigh in on the proposal. Julaine and her organization have witnessed this battle in communities state-wide and warns of the hidden dangers in this legislation for religious freedom and for churches.

Tuesday evening (tomorrow) the DePere, Wisconsin City Council will consider passing legislation that could have chilling effects and legal ramifications for Christian Churches, businesses and ministries. The proposed legislation is quite broad regarding protections for transgender individuals when it comes to housing, employment and services provided.
I have heard from a lot of people commenting on this and asking what exactly is in the proposed bill. We have discussed it with the Wisconsin Family Council and Alliance Defending Freedom; both are warning that it could have very negative effects on churches and Christian business owners who desire to glorify God and stand on His Word. The proposed bill allows a limited religious exemption regarding housing, but does little to nothing to protect Christian organizations in the areas of employment or choosing what services to provide to those who identify as transgenders.
In our second segment, we share excerpts from the proposed legislation and help you get beyond the public bluster and emotion so you can assess the content and intent of the bill.
In segment three, we discuss the tragic murder of 26 Christians attending a Baptist church in Texas yesterday.
First up, we visit with Bill Adams of Sports Fans Outreach International about their efforts to share the gospel at local and national sporting events - including the upcoming Super Bowl in Minneapolis.

Most of us may think the transgender movement has been more of a recent development in American culture, but it goes way back to 1952 when the first alleged “sex change” was credited to a man named Christine Jorgensen. Remember, the “T” in LGBTQ has always been there, waiting in the wings as the groundwork was laid by same-sex marriage activists.
By 2015, the stage was set quite nicely for Bruce Jenner to catapult into a culture shaping icon by selling the public on his transition into Caitlyn. Transgender individuals had been quietly waiting for the right time culturally, politically, and socially, and the election of Barack Obama as president encouraged them, giving them the green light to deny God’s truth and come out in full force.
Sadly, we now live in a society that largely thinks moral absolutes and truth are so yesterday and unnecessary if they were ever relevant at all. But God never changes and He created the world including all human beings, either male or female, and this happens to be supported by biology, science, and most in the medical community.

With the insanity of the transgender movement and its growing acceptance by Americans and policy enforcement by the government, a prominent medical organization has weighed in to set the record straight. This morning we cover a report by The American College of Pediatricians that says assisting children in "changing their gender" is actually child abuse - and ultimately destructive to them.
We also look at a Wisconsin technology company that is implanting microchips into its employees. Is this a glance at end-times prophecy, all with the promise that there is nothing to worry about?
In our first segment today, we are blessed to have in-studio guest, Tina Marie of Counter Culture Mom and discuss how we can protect our children from the dangerous ideas of Hollywood, television, the publishing industry, and video games.

We do not have much time left and the lukewarm church had better get serious. If we are not already a stench in God’s nostrils and unsalvageable as a nation, we sure must be close. How much longer will He withhold judgment? Many seasoned Christians believe we are living in Romans 1 and drawing near to some of the most intense parts of prophecy in the book of Revelation.
The good news is truth will prevail. The damage however, that’s being done to the very moral underpinnings of our nation has become irreparable. There is no turning back and tragically, many souls have been lost for eternity. I understand this is all happening fast, but if we remain on the sidelines and out of these conversations and public policy debates, expect the transgender train to plow full steam ahead leaving death and destruction in its wake.

A sad story to report this morning is one that the Left may try using to accuse the Christian Church in America or hate or hypocrisy. A 32 year old volunteer youth minister at Saddleback Church has been arrested and charged with taking sexual improprieties of two underage children. The man charged is the son of Pastor Abraham Muelenberg. He spearheaded the Muslim outreach program at Saddleback Church and presented the controversial "Kingdom Circles" teaching a few years back, claiming that people (Muslims) did not need to become Christians to be saved.
We will discuss how these allegations, if true, could have a chilling affect on church youth and counseling programs in the future. In our first segment we check in with Julaine Appling of Wisconsin Family Council to discuss the ruling by a Federal Court that a Kenosha transgendered person must be allowed to use whichever bathroom and shower facility fits with her gender fluidity. Parents, it may be coming to your child's school if it is not already there.

There are no shortages of attacks on God's Word these days. The Bible warns us that in the latter days many strange beliefs would be presented as truth and many would fall for the deception just before the Lord's return. But is there one central theme of false teaching that is most ominous? We believe there is: Humanist thought and beliefs that replace God's doctrines with man-made doctrines; I wrote a whole book about this. The central theme of sinful man and his fall from God's grace was that our beliefs and desires are more important than God's.
In our first segment we discuss the incredible promotion of gender confusion in our society and we look at one sad story of a Christian parent who has decided to support her four year old son's supposed desire to be recognized and raised as a girl. Is gender transition a reality? Or a lie planted by the enemy to confuse people and draw them into Humanism: Self worship? In our second segment, we touch on religious freedom and the Johnson Amendment, as well as the reaction to President Trump's executive order yesterday protecting religious liberties for all Americans.

In the last several decades, we’ve seen a public push by those on the left to accept evil as good in just about any form, and to accommodate behaviors we would have called “sins” fifty years ago. (or at least our great grandparents would have)
I can hardly imagine how hard this is on innocent children growing up in this world today. The moral confusion and social pressure are intense, and now there is the expectation that everyone else abandon absolute truth and comply with the gender theory claim that biological facts are now mere ‘social constructs.’
Do you think most people in Hollywood, the liberal media, public education system, or leftists in government care about truth or about the morality of this ideology? Tragically, some parents are imposing their own will on their children and encouraging them to “identify” as the opposite of who God made them to be.
Then there are sad, cultural indicators of how far we have fallen for the lies.

The Trump Administration's Department of Justice announced Wednesday that it would drop an order from President Obama threatening to punish schools that did not allow transgender students to use bathrooms or shower facilities that coincide with their "perceived gender," returning at least a shred of sanity to public education. But the battle for religious freedom and sanity marches on. This morning we discuss the story of a Christian business owner who was threatened by the U.S. Department of Agriculture because he dared have articles about the biblical view on marriage in his company's break room.
In our first two segments today we talk about the "Church Growth Movement" with author and Pastor Gary Gilley who has studied this movement at length. First, what is the role of the church and its mission according to the Bible? Is bigger always better? What are the advantages and disadvantages of belonging to a mega-church? What kind of church is best and more conducive to growth for a young Christian? check out the podcast for plenty of wisdom from Pastor Gilley.

The Bible clearly speaks to issues such as marriage, sexual perversion, and the devaluing of human life. And there can be little doubt that on the whole, America has decided to set aside God's laws on these issues and do what appeals to our flesh. We murder unborn children, promote hedonism, hyper-sexuality; we redefine marriage and family, and now euthanasia is being presented as the next "human right." Advocates of assisted suicide claim they are fighting for the "dignity" of all and of course, for the good of society.
This morning, we cover a story in Minnesota where a mother has been told by a court she has no right to insist that her teenage son dress like a boy, and then the sad story of an American Institution that long stood for character and morality, but caved to political and monetary pressures to allow transgenders: The Boy Scouts.
In our first segment, we check in with Doug Wakefield of Best Minds, Inc. for an economic update. We ask Doug if there is anything the Trump Administration can do to slow down the economic meltdown many are predicting. A few issues include the health care industry and student loan debt.
