THE LIVESTREAM - Practical Parenting Principles
King Solomon once said that of the writing of parenting books there will be no end. From Shepherding a Child’s Heart to the gospel center movements of the 2010s, there are plenty of books out there on the *theology* or the principles of parenting. But parenting is unique in that the Bible offers little *practical* instruction. Yes it instructs us *what* we are to teach our children. Yes it lays out for us the tools of discipline. But it says little to nothing of all the practicals that make up the day in and day out experience of being a parent. This is also where books on principles or the goals of parenting typically fall short. This is because the goal of parenting is not to follow a formula, be it from the Bible or the newest parenting book, but to learn wisdom. The Bible doesn’t make robots out of parents and children, but gives them the instructions and principles to shape their souls to love and adore the good, the true, and the beautiful. And much of that learning and wisdom is practical in nature, not theoretical.

Discussions also delve into Trump's influence on educational policies and the historical Christian roots of American education. Concerns over the decline in civic education and the rise of radical ideologies in schools underscore the urgency for reform.

THE LIVESTREAM - Gavin Newsom Attempts Rebrand as the Left Implodes
The last six months have been absolute disaster for the political left. Yes, they lost the election. Yes, they have an image problem. Yes, their funding network of government cash and rich donors is drying up. But right now these might be the least of their problems. The younger generation is shockingly conservative, especially young men. Politically correct language and tone that safeguarded leftist frame for decades is regularly flaunted and mocked, spelling doom for the consensus they rely so heavily on. Support for gay marriage and transgenderism is plummeting. We are looking at the complete and utter implosion of a party.But it wasn’t always this way. Less than three decades ago Democrat President Bill Clinton signed the defense of marriage act, defining marriage as one man and one woman, into law. Hillary Clinton advocated for rapid deportation of criminal illegal aliens in 2008. The Democrat PARTY PLATFORM in 2004 advocated for, and I quote, “safeguarding all the greatness of America by protecting our people, securing our homeland, and reinforcing our values – faith and family, duty and service, individual freedom and a common purpose to build one nation under God.”This is not to say they were not still radically wicked then. They were, especially on abortion. But as they embraced more and more radical leftist positions they quickly fell into the very trap they set for others. Guilt and greed have consumed their constituents. Their gender ideology accepts not even the slightest deviation from the revolutionary orthodoxy. And they appear to have no recourse other than to keep doubling down. This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or you can donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.Join us now as we discuss the fascinating history of the modern left, the commencement of California governor Gavin Newsom’s attempt to rebrand as a moderate, the surprisingly positive direction that things are going, and what the future might hold. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:**Private Family Banking*How to Connect with Private Family Banking:1.

THE LIVESTREAM - Joe Rogan, Ian Carroll, & The Jews
*Reuploaded due to copy right strike for JRE clips. This version has the clips cut out. Power isn’t what they tell you it is. It’s not politicians giving speeches or elections shifting hands. Real power operates behind the scenes—through intelligence agencies, corporate interests, and financial networks that manipulate nations without ever stepping into the light.This isn’t new. The British East India Company didn’t just trade; it ran entire nations, toppling rulers who got in its way. The CIA didn’t just fight communism; it overthrew governments that threatened corporate profits, like in Guatemala with United Fruit Company. From the House of Fugger bankrolling kings in the 1500s, to Israel’s intelligence operations blackmailing American elites, the same tactics repeat: control the leadership, control the money, control the story.Recently, Joe Rogan sat down with Ian Carroll to discuss a subject that gets people deplatformed: elite Jewish influence in finance, media, and geopolitics. The response was predictable—outrage, accusations, and the usual demand that some topics remain off-limits. But why is this conversation so radioactive? Why is scrutiny of elite power labeled bigotry, while real intelligence operations—like Epstein’s network—are ignored?And what about Israel? Why does a foreign nation wield such massive influence over American politics? Why do U.S. politicians fall over themselves to fund Israel’s military, defend its intelligence operations, and suppress criticism? Epstein’s blackmail ring is just the surface—how deep does this control go?This isn’t about one group; it’s about a system. And today, we’re breaking that system down—Epstein, Israeli intelligence, deep-state alliances, and the weaponization of conspiracy theories. We’re exposing the machinery of modern control.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or you can donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.If you control the narrative, you control the people. That’s why some stories are silenced while others are amplified. That brings us to Joe Rogan, Ian Carroll, and the conversation they just had. What did they get right? What did they miss? And what deeper connections remain unexplored? Let’s get into it.*MINISTRY SPONSORS:**Private Family Banking*How to Connect with Private Family Banking:1.

THE LIVESTREAM - Trump Addresses Congress | Zelensky Kicked to the Curb
On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a ground air attack into Ukraine. Almost 3 years have passed since then and the Russia Ukrainian War is the bloodiest European War since WWII. Likely over a million people have died, with mass torture, abuse, and starvation reported on the front lines. Footage from horrific drone warfare and forced mass conscriptions remind us of the horror, damage, and ugliness of war.But now, Trump is in office. Last night he gave one of the greatest State of the Union addresses in the history of our nation. He doubled down on cutting wasteful spending, ending the trans madness, and getting violent criminals off the streets. And perhaps most importantly, he insisted on PEACE in Ukraine.This is what led to the infamous fallout on Friday between President Zelensky and Trump and Vance. While other European leaders are chomping at the bit for the chance to put boots on the ground, Trump is more interested in stopping the killing. This is why Zelensky campaigned for Kamala Harris during the election season. And it’s no surprise that the second assassination attempt on Trump was from a rabid Ukraine supporter who tried to enlist in their army. Without billions of US and European dollars and armaments and eventually our sons, the war in Ukraine is heading towards a quick end.

THE LIVESTREAM - The Idol of Third-Way-ism | Rick Warren, Tim Keller, & Gavin Ortlund
A picture of Christ on the cross. Two thieves, one on His left, one on His right. A moment of cosmic significance—God Himself atoning for the sins of the world. And yet, according to Rick Warren, this is also…a metaphor for political moderation?That post, now deleted, tried to argue that Jesus died “in the middle” as a sign that Christians should reject both the Left and the Right in modern politics. But that’s not theology—it’s a desperate attempt to baptize political fence-sitting. And it’s part of a broader trend known as Evangelical Third-Wayism—a concept pushed by figures like Tim Keller and, more recently, Gavin Ortlund. The idea is simple: Christians should neither align with the Right nor the Left, but instead carve out a “distinctly biblical” third way. It sounds noble, even wise. But in practice, it functions as a convenient excuse for coddling progressives while selectively condemning the Right.Stephen Wolfe has called this out as nothing more than “sharpshooting”—strategically engaging with culture to present a morally palatable image to coastal elites while never actually challenging the underlying liberalism that dominates our institutions. He’s right. If politics is war by other means, then Third-Wayism is an attempt to negotiate a ceasefire while one side keeps advancing.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or you can donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.At the end of the day, Third-Wayism is not simply a bad take. It is bad strategy, and it is unchristian.

THE LIVESTREAM - The Institutional Gatekeepers With No Gate - Special Guest JD Hall
It was only a matter of time before the democratization of all things came to evangelicalism. Whether it was Elon Musk buying Twitter, “entrepreneurs” getting rich off meme coins, or AI giving anyone supposed expertise in whatever field they wanted, we are experiencing a technological revolution that is as disruptive as the printing press. Information, platforms, access, and ideas have been thrown wide open to anyone with the shrewdness, tact, and ambition to wield them. I’m not saying this is a bad or a good thing, it’s just the way things are moving.No one is taking this harder than the evangelical institutions of the past. Seminaries, Universities, para-church ministries and church networks that were massively influential in the 1990s and early 2000s still have lots of land, money, and reach. But ultimately, despite their millions of dollars and decades long track record, they are rapidly losing influence. Men with no degrees, no pedigree, and minimal funds are capturing the hearts of the next generation of right wing and Christian men because they have what the institutions lack. Courage. The gatekeepers shriek and wail, but they are gatekeepers without a gate.

THE LIVESTREAM - It's Time For Men To Be Strong Again.
What if I told you that the future of our nation depends on the strength of its young men? Not just their moral strength, but their physical, mental, and spiritual toughness. For decades, masculinity has been under attack—dismissed as “toxic,” treated as disposable, or outright vilified. And yet, when danger looms, when families need protecting, when civilizations need building, it’s strong men who answer the call.Some argue that traditional masculinity is outdated, a relic of a bygone era that needs to be reformed—tamed, softened, made more “acceptable” to modern sensibilities. But reality tells a different story. Our bodies are weaker. Our testosterone levels are plummeting. Young men are more depressed and directionless than ever before. And yet, despite this, something is stirring. A backlash is coming. Young men are waking up to the lies they’ve been told about themselves, realizing that strength isn’t something to be ashamed of—it’s something to be cultivated.Masculinity is not the problem. Weak men are the problem. And the way forward is not in suppressing the strength of young men, but in directing it toward what God designed them for: leadership, protection, provision, and dominion. The man who is strong—physically, spiritually, emotionally—is the man who builds, defends, and secures the future for his family and his nation.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.
