This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Dr. William Toffler, a family physician and professor at Oregon Health Sciences University, as they examine how physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia threaten to transform medicine from a vocation committed to healing and compassionate care into one increasingly authorized to intentionally end life. This growing "cult of death" challenges Christians, physicians, and citizens to recognize the dangers of expanding "assisted dying," to defend the vulnerable from economic and cultural pressures, and to affirm that tru
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Lorcán Price, legal counsel with ADF International, as they talk about the intensifying persecution of faithful Christians in Europe, where quoting Scripture can result in criminal convictions and even denial of international travel. Europe was at one time a seedbed for "freedom of conscience and religion," but now many are asking whether the very freedoms that built Western civilization are being redefined beyond recognition. Listen in for the political, the cultural, the moral, and the faith perspective on these vit
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Delano Squires, Director of the Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Human Flourishing at The Heritage Foundation, as they talk about the institution that no policy can replace: the family. Squires argues that the married, two-parent family is the most essential institution for human flourishing — and that it has been steadily dismantled. He traces how slavery first strained Black family bonds, and how the welfare state and the radical social movements that followed went further still, rewarding the very breakdown they
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Dr. John G. West, Vice President of the Seattle-based Discovery Institute and Managing Director of its Center for Science and Culture, as they talk about the one question that towers above every political debate: Where do our rights actually come from? Are they gifts from government — subject to the next election and the next court ruling — or are they, as the Founders boldly declared, endowed by our Creator? At a time when many claim science has buried that idea, the evidence points the other way. Listen in for the p
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Dr. Gene Edward Veith, author of *Modern Fascism: The Threat to the Judeo-Christian View*, as they discuss his article "The Common Order of Christian Love" and the robust public life Americans are still free to live. They'll talk about why we need to recapture that vision of public life today, and stop looking to a policy, a new law, or a government bureaucrat to do what God has created, redeemed, and gifted us to do in Him for the sake of others. Listen in for the political, the cultural, the moral, and the faith per
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Donald T. Eason, President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE), as they discuss why America's future depends not on political personalities, but on the principles, policies, and moral convictions that shape a free society. As the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, they'll explore the relationship between faith, freedom, economic opportunity, and the courageous citizenship needed to preserve liberty for the next generation. Listen in as Dr. Seltz and Mr. Eason explore the legal, cultural, and faith persp
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. Jay Richards, Vice President of Social and Domestic Policy and the William E. Simon Senior Research Fellow in American Principles and Public Policy at The Heritage Foundation, as they discuss artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence may sound human, but does it actually think? Confusing fluent language with genuine understanding is the modern “Pygmalion Delusion.” The key to using AI wisely is remembering why human beings are creative in the first place: we are creatures made in the image of God and accountable to
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Gregory Seltz in this 250th celebration year of the Declaration of Independence with his guest, William J. Federer, a nationally known speaker, bestselling author, president of Amerisearch, Inc., and producer of American Minute. Together, they discuss the foundational freedoms of America and their relationship to the biblical notion of good government, all in service to God’s saving work in Christ alone. Hear the unique way that America holds one’s temporal liberties in tension with, and in service to, the eternal liberties that o
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, former Congressman, Senator, Governor, and Ambassador Sam Brownback, as they discuss one of the great human rights crises of our time. In his book, China's War on Faith, Brownback reveals how the Chinese Communist Party is using surveillance, intimidation, imprisonment, and even genocide in an effort to control or eradicate religious belief in China and around the world wherever they have influence. Listen in as we explore the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on these vital issues—and continue growing i
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. Daniel Huerta, VP of Parenting and Youth for Focus on the Family, as they discuss Father’s Day and explore the powerful and lasting influence fathers have on the lives of their children, marriages, and families. Dr. Huerta calls it “The Dad Effect,” the unique and measurable positive impact an engaged, loving, and present father has on a child’s emotional, relational, educational, and spiritual well-being. Fathers, your faithful presence matters now more than ever. Listen in as we explore the legal, cultural, and faith pe
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, a former geophysicist and college professor and now director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture in Seattle, as they discuss the film The Story of Everything … a must-see for all of you who have been bamboozled by the notion that science has replaced God. What if the greatest discoveries of modern science point not away from purpose, but toward it? The Story of Everything takes audiences on a breathtaking journey from the farthest reaches of the cosmos to the compl
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. Everett Piper, author of “Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth,” columnist for The Washington Times, former university president, and radio host, as they discuss the Southern Poverty Law Center’s labeling—indeed, smearing—of traditional Christian and pro-family organizations as “hate groups,” as well as recent allegations that the SPLC funded racist organizations, reinforcing longstanding concerns about the group’s credibility. Compounding the problem is growing biblical illiteracy on both the p
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Lana Silk, President and CEO of Transform Iran, as they talk about the reality that while Christians in America worship freely, believers in Iran follow Jesus knowing it could cost them everything—yet the church there is growing, bold, and alive. For 47 years, persecution has not weakened them but refined a faith marked by courage, joy, and an extraordinary vision to bless the nations. Today, Lana Silk talks about what God is amazingly doing behind closed doors—and what the global church can learn from His faithfulness and th
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Chairman of Liberty Counsel Action, as they talk about the unfortunate reality of a bill sitting in Congress that could make the biblical view of marriage, sex, and sexual practice illegal overnight. If these measures move—and they can move fast—the impact won’t be theoretical. It will be immediate, concrete, and felt across churches, schools, workplaces, and communities. So whether you agree, disagree, or are still making up your mind, the one thing everyone should reco
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Mollie Hemingway, editor-in-chief of The Federalist, a senior journalism fellow at Hillsdale College, and a Fox News contributor, as they talk about her new book, “ALITO: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution.” Our conversation highlights Hemingway’s inside look at Justice Samuel Alito and his influence on the modern Supreme Court. Drawing on extensive interviews, she argues that his “practical originalism” has helped reshape constitutional interpretation. With a growing “sta
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Os Guinness, renowned author and social critic, as Guinness persuasively argues that the West has reached what he calls a “civilizational moment”—a decisive turning point that will shape the future for generations. Civilizations don’t usually collapse overnight—but history shows they can lose their soul long before they lose their power. We’ll explore what that means for America—how we got here, yes, but also why this may be one of the greatest opportunities for Christians in the renewal of our culture and country, always for
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Ryan Helfenbein, Executive Director of the Standing for Freedom Center and VP of Communications and Public Engagement at Liberty University, as they talk through Pope Leo XIV’s confusing words on Palm Sunday this past Eastertide. Jesus doesn’t hear the prayers of soldiers fighting just wars? Doesn’t the long-standing biblical and Christian teaching endure that God ordains civil authority to bear the sword to restrain evil? Yes, Christ’s Kingdom advances without coercion, yet the justifiable use of force by government remains
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Lathan Watts, vice president of public affairs for Alliance Defending Freedom, to discuss the Päivi Räsänen trial in Finland. Is Finland criminalizing Christian morality as a hate crime? Is the Western world jettisoning the worldview that gave it peace, prosperity, and civility? Are such “secular blasphemy laws” coming to America next? Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on these vital issues as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Join us!
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, John Stonestreet, President of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview and co-host with Eric Metaxas of Breakpoint, the Christian worldview radio program, as they discuss the discipleship and citizenship opportunity for Christians to be a countercultural voice—faithful to God in service to others on His terms, not our own. What an opportunity to be useful in God’s hands “for such a time as this.” Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on these vital issues as we continue to grow in t
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Timothy S. Goeglein, VP of Government and External Relations at Focus on the Family (D.C.), as they discuss the common-sense—but often lost—truth that healthy families are key to a healthy, civil, and humane society. Christians should indeed be faithful fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, and children… so that “it may be well with us.” Yes, but raising strong, loving families is also good for the neighborhood. Listen in for the challenges and opportunities—the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on this vit
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz as he reflects on the powerful events of Holy Week and the ultimate message of hope, forgiveness, and lasting freedom found in the cross and resurrection of Jesus. America’s First Amendment protection of religious liberty is the blessing that safeguards your right—and responsibility—to share that GOD’S GOOD NEWS with those in your life. One liberty serves the other for the Christian. As we often say, “Easter is ultimately more important than July 4th—but thank God for July 4th’s freedom to proclaim the truth of Easter’s ultimate lib
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guests, Mr. Kelly Shackelford, Esq., President and CEO of First Liberty Institute—the largest legal firm in the nation dedicated exclusively to protecting religious freedom for all Americans—and Greg Burt, Vice President of the California Family Council, as they discuss the growing practices of intimidation and outright illegality carried out by the secular statists in our culture, who are usurping the religious liberty protections of the Church and the rights of parents with respect to their children. These are issues that demand a
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, as they talk about another destructive by-product of unfettered abortion happening, unregulated, in people’s homes: fetal remains and pharmaceutical compounds entering municipal wastewater systems when they are flushed away. Abortion, a moral tragedy and a legal conflict, is now also an environmental disaster, as we may be drinking its harmful results in the water in our homes. We ask again this week, “Can the voices for life stop this before it’s too late?”
This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation of Virginia, to talk about the “all hands on deck” effort needed in Virginia and other states around the country to combat the growing shameless efforts to enshrine unlimited abortion as a norm in our society. Who could have imagined that a country built on life and freedom now has a political party that boasts about killing innocent life as a mark of freedom and “healthcare”? Can the voices for life stop this before it’s too late? We will see. Listen in as we
This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Jamison Coppola, Director of Government Affairs at The American Association of Christian Schools, to talk about an egregious policy effort in Virginia to place parochial schools under full state control—handing the Department of Education authority over staffing, curriculum, and internal oversight. Though the measure was thankfully tabled, such sweeping attempts to extend state power into the life of the Church and its ministries are deeply troubling. It is a clear “take heed” moment for all who are committed to protecting re
