The Declaration of Independence: Faith and Freedom Defined

July 3, 2023

As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy so many freedoms and liberties that we dare not take for granted. On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer interviews Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, about the ideals and principles upon which our great nation was founded. Let us never forget that our founding fathers leaned heavily on God and their Judeo-Christian heritage as they completed the final draft of the Declaration of Independence 247 years ago.

Remembering the Anniversary of the Fall of Roe v. Wade

June 28, 2023

This week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, marks the 1st anniversary of the fall of Roe v. Wade.

He adds that in the 12 months since the Dodd decision, it is estimated that 30,000 to 60,000 babies have been saved from abortion, and that’s an amazing result. Bauer warns, however, that the state-by-state fight for life has only just begun. We invite you to listen to this uplifting and convicting podcast today.

America Suffering from ‘National Amnesia’

June 21, 2023

Gary Bauer and special guest Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, discuss “The American Experiment.” Newcombe says this ‘experiment’ can be summarized in a key phrase: “self-rule, under God.” If removed, Americans lose the true source of their freedoms—God. Newcombe says, "The Left has their big guns aimed at both of these pillars." In agreement, Bauer adds, “The Left doesn’t want to win the debate; the Left wants to shut down the debate.” To hear Bauer and Newcombe discuss America’s founding and God-centered heritage, we invite you to listen to this very important podcast.
