Welcome to our first episode of 2026.

In this unfiltered conversation, Abby and Regan dive head-first into the spiritual, cultural, and parental battles families are facing right now. From media indoctrination and “toxic empathy” to raising children with discernment in a confused world, this episode is a call to stay alert, stay armored, and stay rooted in truth.

We discuss how subtle cultural messaging shapes our children, why sin is often disguised as compassion, and how parents must move from playing defense to being spiritually proactive.

This is not fear-based — it’s faith-based clarity.

🔥 What We Cover:


Why 2026 requires spiritual alertness more than ever


The danger of “toxic empathy” and misplaced compassion


Media, entertainment, and subtle indoctrination


Why silence is no longer an option for parents


Helping kids build real friendships instead of false identities


How Satan works slowly — not obviously


The importance of staying in a state of grace


Practical ways to protect your children without isolating them
