In this episode of The Narrative, Mike and David are joined by Doug Napier, the powerhouse CEO of the 1792 Exchange, for an encouraging look at the crumbling "woke" corporate empire. Napier exposes the "insatiable monster" of the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, revealing how a massive 65 percent of Fortune 500 companies have recently fled the survey.

Discover how the "silent majority" is finally using its economic muscle to force the boardroom back to common sense.

We live in an era of unprecedented "connectivity" that has somehow left us more isolated than ever before.

We can track a package across the globe in real-time, yet many of us couldn't name the person living three doors down.

Look out at the landscape of Ohio from the revitalization of our urban centers to the quiet stretches of our rural counties. Are you struck by something desperately missing, something that cannot be bought with a government grant or legislated into existence by the General Assembly? Can you see it?

What is missing is the pace of being known.

This past month provided us with a reason to pause and offer a prayer of thanksgiving. On February 19, a landmark victory was finalized that serves as a shot across the bow of every school board in America.

The Montgomery County Board of Education in Maryland was ordered to pay $1.5 million in damages and legal fees after the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the religious rights of parents in the case of Mahmoud v. Taylor.

On March 2, the Ohio Department of Health’s annual abortion report confirmed a trend we have long feared: chemical abortions—induced by a two-drug regimen—now account for nearly 60 percent of all abortions in the Buckeye State. This exposes a strategic effort by the abortion industry to make the ending of a life as invisible and "convenient" as ordering a package online. Just this week, major providers announced the expansion of telehealth for medication abortions, effectively turning a mailbox into an abortion clinic.

As pastors, we must confront this reality. The "abortion clinic" is no longer just a building downtown; it is being marketed as a "self-care" service that can be delivered to a dorm room.

In the book of Nehemiah, we see a leader heartbroken by a city in ruins. Not only did he mourn the rubble, but he also took it upon himself to rally the community to rebuild the wall, family by family, station by station. Today, as we look across the Buckeye State, we see a different kind of “wall” that has crumbled: the foundational sequence of life that leads to flourishing families and stable communities.

For many pastors in the pulpit, the results of this collapse are a daily reality. We see the young couples struggling under the weight of debt and unplanned crises. We see the "rubble" of a culture that has told our youth that their choices don't have an order, and the data shows the staggering price our next generation is paying.

Why do we gather to pray at the Statehouse? Because we believe that public policy is not merely a matter of secular administration but of stewardship. When we pray for our legislators, we are asking God to grant them the "Solomon-like" wisdom to discern between good and evil in an increasingly confused world.

Nearly 350 believers, including 150 students from five different Ohio Christian Education Network (OCEN) schools, stood together in the heart of our state government. As the voices of Rekindle from Cedarville University led us in worship, the echoes against the high glass ceiling of the Atrium served as a powerful reminder: the King of Kings still reigns over the Great State of Ohio.

In this episode of The Narrative, Mike and Aaron celebrate a historic, record-breaking Prayer at the Statehouse and explain why Christians must fight for justice in "secular" issues like property tax reform.

After the news, they sit down with Dr. Fenggang Yang from Purdue University to discuss the "Triple Market" of religion in China. Despite a regime enforcing "scientific atheism," Yang explains why the underground church is exploding and why China is on a trajectory to become the largest Christian nation on Earth.

After months of bureaucratic "limbo," the $15.6 million earmarked for Ohio’s children has finally been freed.

From the halls of the Statehouse to classrooms across Ohio, learn how CCV stood its ground to ensure students have access to the Relationships Under Construction (RUC) curriculum.

In this episode of The Narrative, the hosts share a break down of the sudden, decisive US strikes in Iran that have fundamentally shifted global power dynamics. They also explore the massive victory for parental rights as the hosts unpack the Supreme Court's emergency ruling against secret school transitions. Finally, Convention of States co-founder Mark Meckler joins them to discuss the urgent Article V strategy to impose term limits and fiscal restraints on a federal government currently burdened by a $38 trillion national debt.

In this episode of The Narrative, Aaron Baer, David Mahan, and Mike Andrews expose how Big Tech weaponizes the First Amendment to exploit minors and why CCV is fighting for HB302. Special guest Wilfred Reilly joins to unmask the "left-wing ratchet" in academia and the rebranding of DEI. Explore the rising threat of the "Woke Right" and why standing on objective truth is the only way to reverse the cultural drift.
