This is such a good interview with my friend Tanya from Moms for Liberty. We talk about what the group is about, how to get involved, what's actually being given to our kids to read, and books she'd like to see on the shelves for kids. You'll enjoy this! Tanya Kacsan, originally from Louisiana, has always had a strong sense of duty and commitment to serving her country and community. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, she enlisted in the Air Force and was stationed at McDill Air Force Base. It was during her time of service that she met her husband, with whom she has been happily married for 18 years. They started a family while Tanya was on active duty, and now have two high school-aged children. After completing her enlistment, Tanya and her family moved to Clay, where she felt a deep desire to continue serving her community. Recognizing the importance of education, she pursued a degree and became a teacher, specializing in History and Civics at the local Junior High School. However, Tanya's passion for education and the well-being of students led her to notice concerning trends and developments within the school system, which left her feeling powerless to effect positive change. Determined to make a difference and empower parents in their role as decision-makers in education, Tanya made the decision to leave the teaching profession. She focused her energy on founding and chairing her local group, a dedicated coalition of mothers, fathers, grandparents, and concerned citizens. Together, they work tirelessly to promote parents' rights in education and hold elected officials accountable for their actions. As the chair of the local Moms for Liberty group, Tanya and her team of devoted individuals, whom she affectionately refers to as "Joyful Warriors," have become a beacon of hope for their community. Through their collective efforts, they have made steady progress in improving local schools and empowering others to stand up for their rights and the well-being of their children. Tanya's dedication and commitment to creating positive change in education have made her an invaluable asset to her community and a source of inspiration for those around her.

Join me as I interview author, speaker, and activist James Roguski. James has been pivotal in bringing awareness around the world and to our own Congress, through his writing and multiple websites, on the dangers of the WHO, World Health Organization, and the "pandemic treaty" they are creating and implementing right now to take away individual medical and privacy rights! This is a powerful interview and so informative on what's happening in our world today and how to write what you are passionate about every day. James Roguski is a researcher, author, natural health proponent, and activist who believes the old systems are crumbling rightfully, so we must build their replacements quickly. In March 2022, James uncovered documents regarding proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations and was instrumental in raising awareness about them, which resulted in the amendments being rejected. James is now doing everything possible to expose the WHO's hidden agenda behind their proposed "pandemic treaty" as well as the WHO's ongoing attempts to amend the International Health Regulations. James' vision for the future can be summarized by the phrase: "Out of the WHO and in with the NEW."

So, join Bruce and I as we talk about the over 4000 books in our public school system that have been flagged for inappropriate content, and of which 2000 are in our particular county!

Watch and find out how you can get involved to protect this nation's children.

Aside from his work in education, Friedman also has a keen interest in history, math, and geometry. He attended the University of Miami, where he studied architecture and developed his love for the principles of design and construction. Despite his varied interests and experiences, Friedman remains committed to advocating for educational reform and promoting critical thinking.

Do you have a book in you longing to be birthed, but it’s on a bunch of scattered notes and journals all over your house or in random computer files? If so, you’re not alone. My name is Shari McGriff, and I am an author, professor, and certified book coach; I help new and struggling Christian writers find their voice and story point before they write 300 words that don’t go anywhere. Take my friend, A.S., for instance. Two years ago, she had a book idea, but it was in random files and journals, and she didn’t know what to do until she took the Ezekiel 37 Challenge Workshop. Fast-forward, she went from scattered to a well-structured complete first draft in one year. Two years later, she’s published! It’s time to write the book God has called you to write. Someone you are supposed to impact is waiting for your book! If God has been telling you to write your book this year, join me for a six-week workshop from August 1 to September 8th.
