Angel Studios' Sound of Freedom has been causing a stir at the box office and at liberal news outlets. The film, which depicts the story of Tim Ballard's quest to save children from sex trafficking, brings to light the dark reality of human trafficking. It's a reality that some liberal websites previously reported on, but now seem bothered by. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, Joel Saint (pastor) and Travis Schmalhofer (former law enforcement) join Chris Hume to discuss the movie and the need to apply the Christian worldview when responding to evils such as human trafficking.

A recent death of a South Carolina woman at the jaws of an alligator adds to the fatality count of gator attacks in America this year and (in unrelated news) UPS is poised for what could be the largest strike in American history. Local Pastor Joel Saint (Independence Reformed Bible Church) joins Chris Hume to discuss.

David A. Zwifka, the Rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Lebanon, recently wrote "An Open Letter from the Rector of St. Luke's Regarding Pride." The letter was put out ahead of a "pride service" held at the Episcopal Church. Zwifka's letter describes St. Luke's Episcopal Church as an "affirming congregation" that supports homosexual relationships. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local pastor Joel Saint joins Chris Hume to discuss Zwifka's letter and the "pride service" held at St. Luke's Episcopal Church.

The Lancaster County (Pennsylvania) commissioners recently approved a $500,000 grant to fund a drug rehab program for inmates in the Lancaster County Prison. This while drug laws continue apace in America and a large percent of incarcerated adults have been locked up for drug charges. On the other hand, federal judges want medical personnel to be allowed to keep giving kids puberty-blockers and other drugs to mess with their bodies.

News about the Presbyterian Church in America's (PCA) decision to appoint a commission to draft a petition calling on the U.S. government to reject the “practice of surgical and medical gender reassignment, especially of minors" has been spreading. Previous information released by The Lancaster Patriot did not include statements by multiple PCA pastors who voted against the measure, but still supported the denomination calling on the civil government to "renounce the sin" of transgender surgeries. This episode provides clarification and more content to the vote.

Lancaster County man Barry Durmaz was arrested last month for driving peacefully on the road. His crime? Failure to submit to onerous regulatory requirements from the Department of Transportation. Many observers are criticizing Durmaz for his stance, but perhaps the freedom to travel is worth fighting for.

Several transgender people were in an apartment with sex toys, drug paraphernalia, four young children, and a dead body, according to Boston firefighters. All four children were taken in by the Department of Children and Families following the incident. However, the Boston Police Department, who arrived after first responders, is telling a different story.

Stories continue to emerge about teenagers undergoing gender "transition" surgeries, only to later deeply regret the mutilation of their bodies in service of the trans agenda. Despite these horror stories, trans activists (like Lititz Chooses Love's Parker Webb) continue to push the narrative, seeking to normalize puberty-blockers and surgeries. Proponents of transgenderism claim their movement is not a religion, but on this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local pastor Joel Saint joins managing editor Chris Hume to rebut that claim.

A Lititz/Lancaster based Realtor and the leaders of the cult known as Lititz Chooses Love are doing everything they can to keep people – especially young people – from hearing a message which could undermine their religion of homosex and transgenderism. Jason Burkholder, a Lititz-based realtor, is doing his part to keep attendees from interacting with members of a local church outreach at the June 17 homosexual pride festival in Lititz Springs Park, and Lititz Chooses Love is pulling out all the stops to protect their religious converts from the dangerous message of Christianity. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot Podcast, local pastor Joel Saint joins Chris Hume to discuss the latest developments surrounding the Lititz Pride Fest.

A Pennsylvania man was recently arrested for standing on a public sidewalk (across the street from a pride event) and quoting a portion of 1 Corinthians 14:33. The entire incident was filmed by Matthew Wear and that video clip has gone viral. Damon Atkins was facing charges of "disorderly conduct" prior to the Berks County District Attorney's Office announcing on June 7 that all charges have been dropped. In this episode of The Lancaster Patriot, local pastor Joel Saint and street preacher Matthew Wear join managing editor Chris Hume to discuss the incident and consider the Christian's duty to proclaim the gospel, even amid a hostile culture.
