This week on The Narrative, David and Mike expose the "vice industry playbook" as gambling giants fund the addiction prevention programs that they then undermine. They also tackle the failed marijuana myth and Ohio’s HB693 to protect parental rights.

Then, Israeli Special Forces veteran Mordechai Wiseman joins the conversation for a raw look at the war in Gaza, the loss of his son, and the only path to true restoration in Israel.

What has happened in Ohio around sports betting wasn't unpredictable. After ignoring the warnings of "exploitative gaming" and "reverse Robin Hood" schemes, Ohio is now left to sift through the wreckage that comes when our sports have been sold to the highest bidder.

David Bereit Executive Director of the Life Leadership Conference and CCV's Senior Fellow for Strategic Initiatives Peter Range join The Narrative to issue a bold challenge to the pro-life movement: stop being pawns for political parties and start holding elected officials accountable.

The growing controversy around school choice in Ohio makes it clear that this issue is, in fact, a battle for the paideia of the next generation.

What is the paideia?

In Christian classical tradition, paideia refers to the total upbringing and education of a child. It ultimately means shaping the soul, the character, and the worldview of the next generation.

This concept is a driving force behind the new National School Choice Tax Credit.

Ohio law authorizes a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for those who contribute to a certified Scholarship Granting Organization. This is a unique opportunity to support Christian education at no net cost to you.

• Individual Credit: Up to $750.

• Joint Filer Credit: Up to $1,500.

When you donate to the OCEN SGO, you are simply redirecting your tax liability. Instead of your money going into a general state fund, it goes directly to a scholarship at a participating school that you choose.
