Dive deep into today's chaotic headlines. Find out how Trump's capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, U.S./Israeli strikes dismantling Iran's regime, abd the new "Shield of the Americas" coalition against cartels all fit together.
This episode breaks it all down plainly with maps and real talk, explaining why these moves are America First.
We dive into the week's biggest stories on Christian Twitter: David French's New York Times piece praising Texas Democrat James Talarico as "decent" Christian. Plus Talarico's Holy Post interview pushing a "big tent" for pro-life Democrats. We unpack why Talarico's approach resembles progressive Christian nationalism—flipping the script on power, justice, and biblical truth while soft-pedaling abortion and trans issues.
We also cover the underreported NYC incident: an anti-Islam "Stop the Islamic Takeover" protest outside Mayor Mamdani's home, countered by an ISIS-inspired bomb attempt. We discuss Islam's compatibility with the West, the failure of multiculturalism, rising extremes, and why biblical justice demands a better path.
Texas Primary results: Jasmine Crockett loses Senate primary to James Talarico, Prop 10 crushes Sharia law ban with ~95% YES vote. Plus: the emerging red-green alliance, progressives keep twisting Scripture into their own version of Christian nationalism, Iran war reality check (no WW3 panic). Toward the end, we discuss two exciting new programs from CFBU.
There are lots of people on social media with strong opinions about today's events in Iran.
In this special Saturday livestream, Krista and Kevin dive into today's US-Israel air campaign against Iran's regime. With expert analysis from Kevin's military intelligence background, we try to help you distinguish between misinformation, "woke right" hypocrisy, "Israel derangement syndrome," and isolationist myths. As Christians who prize truth over agendas, we explore geopolitical implications of today's events and unprecedented doors opening for the gospel in a freer Iran.
This is the place where we try to provide an informed, biblical perspective amid chaos.

Monique and Krista tackle this week's viral moments with a biblical perspective on race, justice, and unity.
Highlights include:
• Gavin Newsom and his "I'm like you" 960 SAT moment; Was it racist?
• 2026 State of the Union address: IVF affordability; "we ended DEI"
• Questioning media disparities in missing persons coverage (e.g., intense focus on Nancy Guthrie vs. ~2,300 U.S. children reported missing daily)
• Trans Minnesota lawmaker argues that porn access should remain available for queer youth because it is potentially "educational"

Monique and Kevin discuss Rev. Jesse Jackson's recent death, marking the end of an era in Black civil rights activism.They reflect on their childhood reverence for Jackson as a civil rights icon alongside MLK, while also acknowledging how his legacy evolved into a "race hustler" who perpetuated grievance narratives and racial division rather than calling people to gospel repentance. They react to a clip from filmmaker and documentarian, Chad O. Jackson. Later, they react to a young social media personality who argues that multiculturalism/diversity weakens societies. It's a candid, "spicy" mix of nostalgia, sharp critique, humor, and a call to prioritize discipleship and true gospel hope.
In this week's Family Meeting, we unpack the headlines and apply a biblical lens to cultural chaos.
First up: Logos Bible Software's Black History Month promotion sparked major backlash—offering discounts on "Black Christian Voices" while mixing solid teachers (like Voddie Baucham and Tony Evans) with progressive, LGBTQ-affirming, and womanist theology authors (including Raphael Warnock).
Then: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 2026 halftime show drew fierce controversy. We discuss if this reps Latino culture or pushes ratchet culture and anti-American vibes.
We also tackle the IVF crisis and the staggering embryo wastage and why Christians must prioritize the sanctity of human life and child-centered justice.
Plus: Politicized nurses' unions and tribalism in healthcare
This week, Monique and Krista were joined by Kevin Briggins for a lively conversation about how their thinking about Black History Month has shifted from celebrating shared achievements to endless grievance and oppression talk, fostering division over unity. Then they discuss Nicki Minaj's recent faith pivot and calling out Democrats, church disruptions, and alleged satanic rituals in the music business. While hopeful for genuine conversion, we are also cautious and echoes of the Kanye-era hype.
Monique is officially BACK! In this week's Family Meeting, Monique and Krista tackle "mommy Instagram" meltdowns, ICE protests in Minneapolis, propaganda wars, “legal observers,” disordered empathy in Christian circles, biblical justice vs. toxic compassion, immigration realities, and practical alternatives like E-Verify. Buckle up!
In this week's episode of the Family Meeting, Krista and Kevin explain President Trump's bold moves on Greenland and the geopolitical stakes. In the second half, they provide analysis of the recent YouTube debate between Joel Webbon and Ruslan on whether interracial marriage aligns with God's design for nations and peoples.
Is storming a church 'protected speech'? Join Krista and Mike Berry from First Liberty Institute for a clear, expert breakdown of the First Amendment: what the Founders meant by free speech, where the real limits lie (incitement, peaceable assembly, FACE Act violations), and how it applies to today's church disruptions and cultural battles. Get the facts beyond the headlines—constitutional clarity with a biblical perspective.
This week we dive deep into last week's tragic ICE shooting in Minneapolis with law enforcement expert Eric Muldrow from Code Red Conversations—breaking down the facts, cell cam footage, case law (Graham v. Connor & Tennessee v. Garner), and why the use of force was justified amid rising attacks on agents.
We'll also share urgent prayer points from Iranian Pastor, Ramin Parsa, on the unfolding revolution in Iran.
Join Krista and Kevin for a Christian perspective on the stunning U.S. operation that removed Venezuela's dictator Maduro. Is this action consistent an "America First" approach? We break down the geopolitical stakes—oil deals, China/Russia/Iran ties, and America's backyard strategy. In the second half, we have a clarifying discussion on the core principles of "conservatism" and why we think Trump is basically a 1990s Democrat.
In this special edition of The Family Meeting, Krista examines the "I" in DEI from a historic Christian perspective. She contrasts the widely agreeable "noble" definitions of inclusion and belonging with their real-world applications in workplaces and Christian institutions, highlighting unintended consequences, ideological conflicts with biblical teaching, and how DEI practices often infiltrate conservative Christian universities through a shifting of definitions. A thoughtful call for Christians to pursue biblical unity, hospitality, and impartial justice rather than secular social engineering.

In this end-of-2025 live stream, Krista and Kevin tackle the explosive question dividing conservatives: Israel or Islam—which is the real threat to America and Christianity? They expose the rising "woke right" influence of Tucker Carlson (who calls concerns over radical Islam an "Israeli psyop" and blames Jewish influence for cultural decay), Candace Owens (downplaying radical Islam while obsessing over "Zionism"), and Nick Fuentes (openly arguing Jews/Israel are more powerful and dangerous than Islam). They warn against antisemitic tropes and grievance-based race hustling.
Toward the end, we briefly ask, Why are Christian universities like Biola adopting Marxist-inspired DEI language?
This is a timely, biblically-grounded conversation as fractures deepen in the post-Trump era.

In this week's edition of the Family Meeting, Monique came on for a few minutes at the beginning of the stream to provide an important life update. Then Krista and Kevin addressed a comment from last week's show about the "America First" movement, led by Nick Fuentes. That led into a discussion about the fracturing happening in conservative circles and broke out this weekend at AmFest hosted by TPUSA.

Kevin and Krista discuss a thread on X this week exposing the manufactured rise of Nick Fuentes: foreign bot farms boosting "America First" with fake followers from Pakistan, India, and beyond—revealing how racial grievance ops divide from within. Plus, Kevin breaks down a recent Biola University chapel spoken-word poem pushing white guilt and Marxist-influenced liberation theology, and why it's fueling bitterness and division on both the woke right and left.

Gen Z is screaming that the American Dream is de@d — and the numbers look brutal: only ~10% of 30-year-olds today own a home AND are married compared to over 50% in the 1960s. BlackRock & private equity are buying up houses with cash, 50-year mortgages are being floated, and the rage at “greedy boomers” is everywhere.
But is it really the boomers’ fault? Is corporate home-buying the real villain? Should we ban corporations from owning single-family homes? Deport illegals to free up housing? Or is the hard truth that Gen Z needs to hear something totally different?
Then the conversation gets even spicier: Matt Walsh says “America ONLY,” not just America First — no more money to Israel, Ukraine, or anyone else. Is that real nationalism… or an isolationist trap that only benefits China and Russia?
Monique, Krista and Kevin go deep (with receipts) on:
👉 The real reasons homes are unaffordable (hint: it’s not just interest rates)
👉 Why marriage rates collapsing is crushing the housing market
👉 The BlackRock “feudalism 2.0” meme — fact or fear-mongering?
👉 Impact of local policies on housing supply while everyone screams at the federal government
👉 50-year mortgages: salvation or slavery?
👉 America First vs. America Only — can we really retreat from the world and stay rich & safe?
If you’re Gen Z and furious, a Millennial who gave up, or a parent trying to help your kids, this is the conversation everyone needs to hear.
A Biola University art professor (15+ years on faculty) openly engages in performance art that explores 19th-century occult spiritualism, inviting participants to interact with esoteric symbology, ritual magic, confetti divination and pendulums—complete with a $85 divination toolkit promising "personal guidance and enlightenment." Monique breaks it all down from the artist's public website, podcast appearance, and installations. This information isn't hidden; it's leadership-approved under Biola's President, Barry Corey.
IN THIS EPISODE:
• Biola University Updates: Their counseling center head wrote a brief supporting Colorado’s conversion therapy ban — while claiming to help students.
• Megan Basham (Daily Wire) drops a bombshell article the next day.
• Candace Owens vs. Allie Beth Stuckey & Melissa Dougherty’s “Candy Land” video
