We have many reasons for gratitude. Count your blessings! Start a list.

And then, as you finish up your list, ask God for one more thing.

What? I thought we should be thankful not to start asking again.

Ask God to grant one thing more. “God, give me a grateful heart.”

Then, take courage and learn the lesson from what we often call the Parable of the Talents. Go for it!


Pastor Rick Stevens can be heard Saturday and Sunday at 8 am ET on the iHeart Radio Network. Find all the Faith is…with Pastor Rick Stevens episodes also available on the America Out Loud Podcast Network.

Mr. Haugland contends the Western free world is in a death spiral, and our leaders are too damned stupid to…

DeSantis vs Newsom: The Art of Ethical Persuasion

The Dean’s List with Host Dean Bowen – This is rich; he’s been telling a lot of whoppers tonight; this may be the biggest.” DeSantis continued, “If you’re a parent in Iowa, or New Hampshire, or South Carolina, your minor child can go to California without your knowledge or without your consent and get hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and a sex change operation, all without you knowing or consenting.”

Even Gavin Newsom’s Wife Knew His Goose Was Cooked

Even Gavin Newsom’s Wife Knew His Goose Was Cooked

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – The debate was billed as Red State vs Blue State, and it did not disappoint.

The Adam and Eve Story Catastrophe Cycle

America Emboldened with Greg Boulden – Most are blissfully unaware of what is going on with our planet.

Trump Has Always Affirmed the Melting Pot Principle

Trump Has Always Affirmed the Melting Pot Principle

The Voice of a Nation [malcolm at eight] – The beautiful words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty plaque are now being used as a cloak for vice. All too often, progressives rub the invitation in our faces, forgetting that in 1776 it was anything but a license to take advantage of American generosity. It was once an offer to come and make a reputable name for yourself, but now it is perceived as an opportunity to rape America…

America’s Turn to Communism: A Historical Warning

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – McCarthyism, once a term of derision, now highlights a forgotten history of communism’s grip on society.

I ponder if the nation is doomed to repeat past atrocities, ignoring the warning signs of tyranny and the erosion of human rights under communism.

Taxation Feeds the Trojan Horses

Taxation Feeds the Trojan Horses

The National Security Hour with Col. Mike and Dr. Mike – Bipartisan, of course, simply means that all members of the Senate and House get equal payments from the arms makers. It has nothing to do with America’s defense and survival. Indeed, the bill is a promise for more interventionist foreign wars like those currently being lost in Ukraine and Israel-Gaza…
