Descripción

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Ryan Helfenbein, Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center and VP of Communications and Public Engagement at Liberty University, as they talk through Pope Leo XIV’s confusing words on Palm Sunday this past Eastertide. Jesus doesn’t hear the prayers of soldiers fighting just wars? Doesn’t the long-standing biblical and Christian teaching endure that God ordains civil authority to bear the sword to restrain evil? Yes, Christ’s Kingdom advances without coercion, yet the justifiable use of force by government remains part of God’s providential order in a fallen world. Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on these vital issues as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Join us!

The Southern Poverty Law Center, the real “Hate” group in America, and the Woke Right and Left’s Misuse of the Bible

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. Everett Piper, author of “Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth,” columnist for The Washington Times, former university president, and radio host, as they discuss the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling—indeed, smearing—of traditional Christian and pro-family organizations as “hate groups,” as well as recent allegations that the SPLC funded racist organizations, reinforcing longstanding concerns about the group’s credibility. Compounding the problem is growing biblical illiteracy on both the political left and right, leading to confusion about the role of faith in public life. Piper warns that believers should be concerned because accusations of extremism can be used to marginalize religious convictions, restrict open debate, and weaken support for faith, family, and religious liberty. Listen in as we explore the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on these vital issues—and continue growing in the wisdom needed to be faithful Two Kingdom citizens in the country we love.

Learning from the Courageous Christian Church in Iran

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Lana Silk, President and CEO of Transform Iran, as they talk about the reality that while Christians in America worship freely, believers in Iran follow Jesus knowing it could cost them everything—yet the church there is growing, bold, and alive. For 47 years, persecution has not weakened them but refined a faith marked by courage, joy, and an extraordinary vision to bless the nations. Today, Lana Silk talks about what God is amazingly doing behind closed doors—and what the global church can learn from His faithfulness and their example.

Congressional Bills H.Res. 1058 and S.Res 604 are not about Equality, They’re About destroying Religious Liberty for ALL

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Chairman of Liberty Counsel Action, as they talk about the unfortunate reality of a bill sitting in Congress that could make the biblical view of marriage, sex, and sexual practice illegal overnight. If these measures move—and they can move fast—the impact won’t be theoretical. It will be immediate, concrete, and felt across churches, schools, workplaces, and communities. So whether you agree, disagree, or are still making up your mind, the one thing everyone should recognize is this: timing matters. Awareness matters. Engagement matters. Because if this passes, it will change our country forever. Stay informed. Stay engaged. And don’t assume someone else is paying attention—because right now, that may be the biggest risk of all. Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspective on these vital issues as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Join us!

Book: ALITO: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution

This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist, a senior journalism fellow at Hillsdale College, and a Fox News contributor, as they talk about her new book, “ALITO: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution.” Our conversation highlights Hemingway’s inside look at Justice Samuel Alito and his influence on the modern Supreme Court. Drawing on extensive interviews, she argues that his “practical originalism” has helped reshape constitutional interpretation. With a growing “statism” in America, coupled with cultural secularism, the constitutional limitation of government is under attack. A constitutional court exists not merely to restrain the tyranny of a monarch, but also the tyranny of the mob, and few modern justices have defended that principle more consistently than Samuel Alito.

Truth Rising and the Civilization Moment for the West and America

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Os Guinness, renowned author and social critic, as Guinness persuasively argues that the West has reached what he calls a “civilizational moment”—a decisive turning point that will shape the future for generations. Civilizations don’t usually collapse overnight—but history shows they can lose their soul long before they lose their power. We’ll explore what that means for America—how we got here, yes, but also why this may be one of the greatest opportunities for Christians in the renewal of our culture and country, always for the sake of the Gospel. Listen in for the legal, the cultural, and the faith perspective on these vital issues, as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Join us!
