In 1985, I returned to my native Argentina to witness a move of God that would change the nation's spiritual landscape forever. Through the ministry of evangelists like Carlos Annacondia, thousands were swept into the Kingdom. My father's church in La Plata exploded from 300 members in one location to thousands of believers in 19 new preaching points. We saw miracles, healings, and a generation of new believers on fire for Christ. It was glorious, but it left many with a haunting question: If the revival was so great, why was the nation not transformed?

The medical community is finally realizing that transgender surgeries are harming America&rsquo;s children. Recently, both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Medical Association released statements recommending gender-affirming surgeries be delayed until adulthood, but what does this mean for the issue as a whole? Is change happening? Host Casey Harper is joined by American Parents Coalition&rsquo;s Alleigh Marre, and The Washington Stand&rsquo;s Joshua Arnold to discuss the new research and mentality shift we are seeing in the medical world.

Few brands in the history of global commerce have generated such a fierce rivalry as that of PepsiCo and Coca-Cola. This rivalry has permeated popular culture and even inspired Hollywood stars like Steven Spielberg, who will produce Sony's film "Cola Wars," currently in development. And perhaps the lesser-known story is that, behind the scenes, Cuban-American businessmen were making key decisions that elevated these two brands to the status of epitomes of good marketing, aggressiveness, and market savvy. 

Growing up in a rigid Muslim home in Turkey, Isik Abla knows true darkness. Living inside the violent culture of Islam - a culture that scarred her physically and emotionally - led her down a painful path of abuse, brainwashing, and the kind of terror that forced her to run for her life. Today, she's a Christian living in America - the product of a radical spiritual transformation who's seen evil up close and lives to free others from it.

America's religious identity continues to evolve, and recent Gallup polling from 2025 put a spotlight on a sizable shift currently taking place. Gallup considered more than 13,000 interviews that were conducted monthly throughout 2025. What did it find?

As the ongoing U.S. strike on Iran entered its tenth day, reports surfaced Sunday that the beleaguered Islamist regime had selected Mojtaba Khamenei to be the country's next supreme leader following the death of his father Ali Khamenei on February 28 as the result of an American missile attack. But President Trump maintained that if the next Iranian leader does not get U.S. approval, they're "not going to last long."

With the midterm elections less than eight months away and control of the House of Representatives hanging in the balance, new polling is suggesting that voters in primary elections are less concerned with the electability of their candidates and more interested in ideological fidelity.

Underlying the skepticism over the U.S. strikes on Iran is an understanding that there ought to be limits in war and an uncertainty about whether the Trump administration has stayed within those limits. To put it in question form, Americans want to know, "Is there moral justification for the administration's actions?" as FRC President Tony Perkins put it. And, for Christians in particular, "Does the Bible provide guidance for this?"

The U.S. State Department on Monday urged American citizens to "depart now" from all 14 countries between Iran and Egypt as Iran expanded the scope of conflict with indiscriminate missile strikes on all its neighbors. But the strategy seems to have backfired by reminding a reluctant world just why the United States and Israel want to replace the rogue Iranian regime. "Many people in the Gulf woke up Saturday [angry] at the United States and Israel and went to sleep [angry] at Iran," summarized Atlantic Council Director of Middle East Programs William Wechsler.

America's ongoing military campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran affects not only Iranians, but Americans too. U.S. Christians, in particular, have a role to play in bringing their petitions before the throne of grace. "This is where the Church has a distinct and indispensable role - to stand in prayer, to seek God's wisdom and protection, and to engage the battle in the heavenlies with spiritual discernment and steadfast faith," declared FRC President Tony Perkins.

Get ready to hear a lot more about Texas State Rep. James Talarico (D), the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas. After his primary victory over Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) this week, the media machine began churning up and spitting out the upstart candidate's past statements. They did not have to look far.

As foreign conflict rages on and Congress is locked in a feud over Homeland Security funding, President Donald Trump is hammering Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, the president thanked elections activist Scott Pressler for explaining in a Fox News interview the importance of passing the legislation and how it can be done without dismantling the filibuster. Passing the SAVE America Act "must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE," the president said. He vowed not to sign further bills until the SAVE America Act is on his desk.
