Veteran, author, and host Graham Allen knows the storming of the Capitol building played right into the hands of Democrats. The incident will be used to label all conservatives as unhinged, violent, and dangerous. It will be used to silence Trump and anyone who supported him. We already see Big Tech selectively severing accounts and platforms at will. Graham Allen knows that if you want to win an election, you need social media. Therefore, Big Tech owns the government. We must fight to preserve our nation, but we have to be smart. Some people are calling for an armed uprising, but Graham Allen says those calling for war have never actually been in a war. And speaking of wars, conservatives are losing the culture war, and if we don't get our act together, the next generation of voters will be indoctrinated to a point of no return. Learn how Graham Allen is fighting to outsmart the Left in this episode of Rick & Bubba University!Sponsors:SimpliSafe Home Security delivers award-winning 24/7 protection.

As a young man growing up during the civil rights movement, Steve Skipper had abandoned his dream of becoming an artist and was headed down a path of destruction. After robbing a home, Steve was celebrating and doing drugs with his fellow Crips gang members, when a man approached Steve and his gang with a message: God has a plan for your life, He has given you a gift, and you can use this gift to glorify God. Steve was shaken and soon found himself sitting in the back pew of a church when the pastor began to speak directly to Steve with that same message of hope. Steve then untied the gang colors from around his wrists, dropped them to the floor, and surrendered his life to Christ. Steve Skipper went on to pursue his artistic career and become one of the most prolific sports and civil rights painters in the country. Author Don Keith tells this story in his book and the newly released documentary "Colors of Character: An Artist's Journey To Redemption."

You are being told a lie. You are being told that the group you are part of determines your worth. But the Constitution says you have worth as an individual, endowed by your Creator. You are being told capitalism is based on greed. But in reality, capitalism has allowed the U.S. to grow and become the most generous country on Earth. This country affords maximum liberty to reach maximum potential through personal responsibility, not through victim mentality. In these contentious times, don't buy the lie that America must be torn down and torn apart. While we may not always like the result, our country chooses its leaders by the ballot, not by the bullet. Mike Huckabee knows we must protect the three Cs that made this country great: Christianity, capitalism, and the Constitution.

What do we mean when we say pro-life? We must be against infanticide, but we can’t stop there. As Christians, we should believe in the sanctity of life in every aspect. Not everyone is called to adoption, but you can fulfill God's command to care for the orphan and the widow in other ways. Christ came to give us life and life abundantly. If we want the world to see the love of Christ in us, we have to support women in crisis pregnancies, widows, orphans, and those with special needs.

Worship leader Chuck Hooten was tired of worship being something that happened only on Sunday morning. He saw churches worrying more about logos and egos than about people and prayer. Worship is not saying true things; it is becoming true things. As more and more churches commercialized, Chuck saw that the Western church was at a crossroads. So Chuck took a sabbatical, sold everything he owned, and packed his wife and four daughters into an RV to refocus on God's purpose for Christians. We were made to worship, and "The Worship Problem" seeks to find the heart of what worship was always truly meant to be.► Chuck's Official Website: https://www.chuckhooten.com/Sponsors:Boll & Branch: All of Boll & Branch sheets, towels, and other products are crafted from pure, organic cotton that’s ethically made and sustainably sourced.
