CCV and state lawmakers have launched the Save Ohio Sports Act to stop the abuse, ban prop bets, and protect our athletes. Take action now to stop the pocket predator.

This week on The Narrative, the hosts celebrate a historic 8-1 Supreme Court victory for the First Amendment, striking down radical bans on so-called “conversion therapy.” They expose how the Left uses state power to muzzle Christian counselors and alienate children from reality.

After the news, Emma Waters joins the chat to shatter modern "girl boss" and "tradwife" delusions. She discusses her book, Lead Like Jael, offering a fierce, Christ-centered blueprint for reclaiming uniquely feminine virtues.

Ohio's Foundation of Faith with SenAtor Bernie Moreno and AG Dave Yost

In this episode of The Narrative, Aaron, David, and Mike expose the radical left’s latest assault on children. David breaks down the chaos in the Ohio House, where activists in full drag regalia—backed by the entire Democrat caucus—demanded the "right" to perform in front of children. The hosts also call out the legacy media for its deceptive "experimental" labeling of life-saving abortion pill reversals and explore a massive legal hammer coming for Big Tech’s "addiction engineering" of our kids.

Then, Senator Bernie Moreno and Attorney General Dave Yost offer profound reflections on the spiritual foundations of Ohio’s heritage.

Protecting Children in Public Spaces: Why Ohio Must Pass HB249

During the recent hearing for HB249, activists said the quiet part outloud.

Opponents of HB 249 – including drag performers, activists, and organizations like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood – made it clear they want to continue performing sexualized acts in spaces where children are present.

Some even proudly described doing exactly that.

Rebuilding Belonging in a Lonely Age

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.

Why Every Ohio Pastor Should Celebrate the Maryland Settlement

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.

Confronting the Silent Scourge of Chemical Abortion in Our Neighborhoods

Confronting the Silent Scourge of Chemical Abortion in Our Neighborhoods

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.

From Broken Fragments to a Beautiful Design

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.

Nehemiah’s Hope Visits the Ohio Statehouse

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.

The Rise of Christianity in China with Dr. Fenggang Yang

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.
