On this final episode of The Narrative podcast for 2023, CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews answer your questions!

We had more high-quality questions than ever before–not that we'd expect anything less from our podcast family–so listen in to get the guys' thoughts on:
With the passage of Issue 2, how can we keep cannabis out of our communities?
How can Christians, in good conscience, remove the influence of our kids from public schools? Doesn't that mean we're shirking our responsibility to spread the Good News of the Gospel?
Who or what is CCV's goal audience for impacting culture?
How can we maintain growth, momentum, and hope in the pro-life community?

Thank you for making this our best volume yet!

What should we do in 2024?

Answering Your Questions on Marijuana, Being a Light in Schools, and Pro-Life Strategy

This week on The Narrative, Aaron and Mike break down two major stories making headlines: the latest developments in the case of the Toledo doctor who forced abortion pills on his girlfriend, and the new peer-reviewed HHS report that uncovers the truth about pediatric gender dysphoria.

After the news, tune in for the powerful and uncompromising message from author and speaker Rosaria Butterfield, recorded live at CCV’s 2025 Essential Summit.

Known for her sharp clarity and bold testimony, Rosaria shares her journey from a tenured queer-theory professor and LGBTQ activist to a follower of Christ, and how the Gospel reshaped everything she believed about womanhood, identity, and truth.

With striking honesty, Rosaria opens up about the personal cost of her conversion, the pastors who discipled her with patience and Scripture, and why she believes today’s cultural pressures are discipling young women far more aggressively than the Church. She unpacks the roots of modern feminism and gender ideology, their impact on Gen Z, and why she says the Church must recover courage, conviction, and biblical clarity in this moment.

If you want a message that challenges, sharpens, and calls believers to contend for the faith with strength and love, you won’t want to miss this episode.

More About Rosaria Butterfield

Dr. Rosaria Butterfield is a former tenured professor of English and women’s studies at Syracuse University, who came to Christ in what she describes as a “train wreck” conversion.

Her journey is chronicled in her memoir, The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert. Once an outspoken advocate for feminist philosophy and LGBTQ+ politics, Rosaria was drawn to faith through the hospitality of a local pastor and his wife.

After years of conversation and Scripture study, she gave her life to Christ in 1999. Today, Rosaria is married to a Reformed Presbyterian pastor. She is also a mother and grandmother, as well as a speaker and author.

From government and entertainment to the conversations we have with our neighbors, he challenges Christians to step into their mission with courage, compassion, and the hope of the gospel.

Answering God's Call with Willie Robertson

Take a deep dive into the cultural and spiritual moment facing Ohio, America, and the Church in today's episode of The Narrative.

David and Church Ambassador Network (CAN) Executive Director Chris Lightfoot begin with an inside look at the explosive growth of CAN—from 2,200 to over 5,000 churches—and why pastors across Ohio are urgently seeking Christ-centered worldview formation, marriage and family renewal, and a biblically oriented understanding of Christian citizenship.

CCV responded by creating the Minnery Fellowship for Cultural Engagement, a continuing education program for pastors and church leaders, and Hope and a Future to offer churches statewide a scalable model to strengthen families in their communities. 

David also discussed two pro-life bills that passed out of the Ohio House this week.

Following the news, world-renowned author and social critic,Os Guinness, joins the guys to explain the civilizational crossroads America faces as the ideological descendants of the 1776 American Revolution clash with the ideals of the 1789 French Revolution.

With the nation’s 250th anniversary approaching in 2026, Guinness argues that it may be “the last, best chance of the last, best hope,” calling Christians to lead a renewal rooted in biblical truth. Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
