Volume 5 Coming Soon...

We have another special edition of The Narrative podcast this week coming to you from our 2024 Cleveland Gala with Kayleigh McEnany, a former White House press secretary under President Trump and a current cohost of Outnumbered on Fox News.

Listen in to hear her incredible story of how God literally called her to faith, her experience working in the Trump White House, and the one thing she did to prepare for every press briefing. You'll also get to hear Kayleigh eloquently share why pro-life issues are still key and at play, even in Ohio.

Before Kayleigh's address, CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews break down why it's a Christian response to criticize the immigration policies that have led to the influx of Haitians in Springfield. They also reveal how CCV is exposing Nationwide Insurance's woke ideology that is undermining the values of their rural and conservative customers.

Learn more about the campaign at NationwideNotOnYourSide.com.

Faith and the Trump White House with Kayleigh McEnany

Ready to go deeper? Today's episode is the inaugural roundtable discussion where The Narrative podcast hosts are joined by experts to take a deep dive into a particularly complex topic–equipping you with the understanding necessary to make informed decisions as a Christian.

Odds are you've likely seen the heavy media bias against Ohio's school choice expansion this past year, extolling the cost, claiming it's a misuse of taxpayer funds, and decrying private schools as the lesser education option.

Aaron Churchill and Rabbi Yitz Frank join CCV's Ohio Christian Education Network Executive Director Troy McIntosh and podcast hosts CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews to unpack why these common anti-school choice arguments are based on cherry-picked data or fail to consider the most important factor in school choice--parental satisfaction.

Ready for an in-depth breakdown of school choice fact vs. fiction? Don't miss today's special edition episode!

Going Deeper: The True Story on Education in Ohio

If you're ready for a breath of zesty fresh air, don't miss today's fast-paced episode of The Narrative with Seth Gruber–founder of The White Rose Resistance, CCV Communications Director Mike Andrews, and Church Ambassador Network Executive Director Chris Lightfoot.

Listen in to discover why pastors must still preach against the biblical issues of Gnosticism, child sacrifice, and sex cults because of the theological ties to modern cultural issues like abortion, homosexuality, and transgenderism. Seth also breaks down how LGBT activists are fundamentally religious, not unbiased advocates of bodily autonomy.

You'll also get to hear CCV President Aaron Baer and Mike do a fast-five take on the latest updates on election inference in Ohio ballot issues, the rollback of common-sense regulation on abortion pills, Attorney General Dave Yost fighting for school transportation for Columbus students, the Libs of TikTok Kaleidoscope expose, and former President Trump coming out against the Florida abortion amendment.

For more, check out Seth's talk on "All Human Conflict is Ultimately Theological," The1916Project.com, and TheLastStand.com.

More about Seth Gruber

He has been a voice and defender for preborn babies ever since.
