The Democrats Are Up Against It
It's almost comical were it not so deadly serious. Whether its defending the murderer in Minneapolis and his preferred use of pronouns or lashing out that President Trump wants to help defend cities, and clean up our monuments and buildings in places like DC and New York - Democrats are simply on the wrong side of an 80-20 issue. Americans want to feel safe and feel pride in their cities. Plus, Stigall gets a sincere email that causes him to explore an unplanned topic on the show related to prayer as he and Josh Mann - managing editor at ReadLion.com take it head on while discussing the latest on the horrors of Catholic school shooting this week. And Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick on more reinvestment in our nation's ports and energy. And why he feels the economy is on the verge of a big boom. It's also open line Friday with input from across the country! -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't Doubt We're In A Spiritual Battle
Another mentally ill man whose background of "transgenderism" led to the murder of two children and injuring 17 more attending a morning Mass.

Moral Chaos, National Collapse: Why America’s Crisis Is Spiritual
Stigall returns Monday with his regular run of show. Today wraps our special week of shows exploring our faith. Today, Stigall has a conversation with the Executive Director of Truth and Liberty and founder of Richard Harris Ministiries - Pastor Richard Harris. From mass shooting events, rampant drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, trans lunatic ideology. What’s going on? And as many in the culture begin seeking answers from Christianity, the left has never been more hostile. What’s the Pastor’s reaction to California’s proposed law to supersede parents, allowing any adult to become a legal guardian of a minor whether you’re their parent or not. And why do outlets like Huffington Post say people of faith are “taking over” public school classrooms and it’s “chilling” to them? It’s a spiritual battle that needs a discussion. -For more info visit the official website: https://chrisstigall.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisstigallshow/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisStigallFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/chris.stigall/Listen on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/StigallPodListen on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/StigallShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Questions That Need An Answer (Pt.4): “Is the Devil Real?”
Stigall was called away unexpectedly this week, so we’re trying out something new. Rather than give you repeats of old shows, Stigall wants your opinion on this new special edition podcast. We’re letting you sample it for 4 days to see if you think you’d like to hear this as a sixth show on Saturdays going forward. We will return to our regular format next week.
