Lindsay Clancy and the Subversion of Motherhood
A mother who strangles her own young children should trigger universal horror. Instead, parts of public conversation treat the perpetrator as the primary sufferer. That inversion is the starting point for Katy Faust’s discussion with Dad Saves America. Faust, founder...
Seth Gruber confronts the Church on abortion
Abortion remains legal through birth in multiple American states, including after voters enshrined it in constitutions. Meanwhile, some of the best-funded pro-life organisations have opposed bills that would treat the killing of an unborn child as a homicide when the...

The Media can’t even get an interview [but I can]
When a federal senator is elected president of his state Liberal Party, the coverage often arrives already loaded with adjectives. “Rebel.” “Controversial.” “Firebrand.” Senator Alex Antic has heard them all. Rather than feed the cycle, he largely refuses the...
Are Christians afraid to love gay people?
Many churches claim they want to love people with same-sex attraction. In practice, the welcome often comes with conditions: change first, then belong. The result is either heavy-handed confrontation or quiet avoidance. Matthew Aaron’s account cuts through that...
The Bolshevik playbook is being used on America
When a society begins to hate its own history, redefine its enemy classes and treat the family as an obstacle, something more than ordinary politics is underway. Jack Posobiec claims these are not new developments but recognisable steps in a long-running revolutionary...
This is the number 1 priority for saving Australia!
Household budgets feel tighter than many can remember. Wages rise, businesses charge more, yet disposable income keeps shrinking and small operators struggle to stay open. Topher Field’s latest episode treats this not as temporary mismanagement but as the predictable...
‘Consent’, marriage and the James Howe controversy
A husband says he “doesn’t do consent”. Critics invoke marital rape, politicians condemn him and a television report places his words beside a reminder that marriage does not constitute sexual consent. It sounds appalling — until the surrounding argument is heard....
NOTHING is “Free” – How YOU end up paying for ALL those election promises
Politicians love announcing cheaper trains, free this and free that just before an election. The photo of Australia’s Prime Minister and Queensland’s Premier riding the Gold Coast light rail for 50 cents was classic campaign theatre. Damian’s point is blunt: the...
When government controls ideas: the fight for freedom, faith and truth
Governments across the West now claim the power to decide which conversations about sex, identity and reality are permitted. In Australia that power has already produced conversion therapy bans that treat voluntary counselling aimed at biological reality as harmful,...
Jesus forgave before the cross….so what was the cross for?
If Jesus could simply tell people, “Your sins are forgiven”, before His crucifixion, why was the cross necessary at all? That is not a minor theological puzzle. It goes directly to the heart of the Christian gospel — and it is the question that the host of this...
Will the good of the other
Empathy sounds like an uncontroversial virtue. We should care about how other people feel. We should avoid needless cruelty. We should treat people with compassion. But what happens when empathy stops being one virtue among many and becomes the standard by which every...
They’re killing Christians—and the church barely notices
What would happen if Christians in Australia or America suddenly discovered that thousands of fellow believers were being killed, entire villages abandoned and churches left to rebuild themselves — and yet most of the Western Church barely noticed? That is the...
He’s making all the WRONG moves, it’s up to us to stop him
Political opponents being described as dangerous is nothing new. But what happens when increasingly heated political rhetoric meets legislation that gives governments new powers to designate organisations as prohibited groups? That is the question Topher Field raises...
Don’t believe the blatant lies, the DATA tells the true story
When a Prime Minister claims the housing system is being fixed, the numbers should back him up. In a recent statement, Anthony Albanese pointed to reduced competition for first-home buyers and a 27 per cent rise in investor loans for new builds. Topher Field, in...
ASIO can now question you in secret — and you can’t tell anyone
Extraordinary powers that suspend ordinary legal safeguards rarely arrive with fanfare. Last week the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2025 cleared the Senate and became law. It expands the grounds on which ASIO can compel people —...
The church is confused about sex… is this the fix?
The church has creeds for a reason. When heresy threatened the doctrine of Christ, bishops produced the Nicene Creed. When the church needed a short summary of the faith, it used the Apostles’ Creed. Those documents still shape liturgy and draw boundaries. Today the...
The Guardian vs Sen Malcolm Roberts – what was really said at the Church And State Summit about equality for homosexuals
The Guardian is terrified of One Nation, and believes the conservative Senator Malcolm Roberts is a soft target to whip up fear and smear with false accusations and slander. I've published the above video with the questions and answers they're quoting, along with some...
The Fauci secret that changes the COVID story
Five years on, many Australians and Americans still treat the COVID response as a closed chapter of over-caution and noble mistakes. Steve Deace refuses that framing. In conversation with Seth Gruber he contends that Anthony Fauci and allied agencies understood the...
94.2% of Christians do not understand how our voting system works
We have a national crisis of faith in Australian churches. You have to hear the evidence and data in this sermon supporting the conclusion that only 5.8% of church-going Christians hate the shedding of innocent blood like God does. 16 out of 17 Christians don't care...
This isn’t science fiction, this is reality, and the fightback is NOW
A Colorado woman is told, with absolute certainty, that she stole packages. The officer has video. He refuses to show it unless she admits guilt. She is completely innocent. Charges are later dropped. That pattern — incomplete data plus supreme confidence — is not...
“Abortion Recipe” In The Bible?… Debunking James Talarico’s Claims
A growing number of people who claim the name of Christ now argue that Scripture itself supports legal abortion. They point to Numbers 5 as a supposed “abortion recipe,” treat Exodus 21 as proof the unborn have lower value, and read divine curses in Hosea as divine...
Exposing the flawed theology unhelpfully dividing “Abolitionists” and pro-life Christians
"Abortion Abolitionists" promise uncompromising biblical faithfulness—but do their boldest claims withstand careful theological scrutiny? Matthew Cliff goes beneath the familiar clash over incremental reform to expose the neglected assumptions shaping the debate,...
Something is off about men right now
Something feels off with men in this generation. Many young women say the men around them lack strength and direction. Many young men feel hesitant to lead or endure hard things. At the same time the culture insists the highest good is discovering and expressing one’s...
Arrested for buying sports equipment? Is this our future in Australia?
A man walks out of a sports store carrying a brand-new baseball bat, still sealed in its packaging. British police intervene as if he poses an immediate public threat. The footage is almost comic until you realise the same logic—treat legal sports equipment as a...
Love Is Love, But Men Can’t Be Mothers and Women Can’t Be Fathers
“Love is love” has become a conversation-stopper. Challenge it and you risk being cast as an enemy of affection itself. Yet the claim collapses the moment the question shifts from private emotion to public purpose. In this conversation with Dave Pellowe, Katy Faust...
The word of God every Christian urgently needs to hear preached
Todd Weatherly, senior leader of 'Field of Dreams" church in Adelaide, South Australia, introduces Dave Pellowe, founder of the ministry 'Church And State', to teach on The Political Wisdom of Solomon. After covering what every pastor should preach at every election,...
The Betrayal Inside The Pro Life Movement
After Roe v Wade fell, many assumed the next step for the American pro-life movement was clear: press for equal legal protection for unborn children at state level. Instead, some of the best-known organisations and pregnancy-centre networks have actively opposed those...
Money and Motherhood
What a new study teaches us about our fertility crisis. A December 2025 working paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago has laid bare a choice that most policymakers, pundits, and cultural commentators refuse to acknowledge. The paper, “Fertility and Family...
Sodomy Changes Science
When a society decides that adult romantic preferences override a child’s need for his or her own mother and father, the consequences do not remain theoretical. Katie Faust, founder of Them Before Us, contends that the 2015 Obergefell decision did not simply expand...
Why Does The Church Only Talk About What’s Wrong With Sex?
For decades, many churches have become known more for what they're against than what they're for—especially when it comes to sexuality. Pornography, adultery, gender confusion and sexual ethics all deserve serious attention. But if Christians only ever describe what...
