EXECUTIVE BRIEF: What Now? America stands at a crossroads few of us ever thought we’d see. The republic our founders bled for has been hollowed out by decades of betrayal from within. Globalist policies, open borders, weaponized institutions, and a deliberate attack on biblical truth have left families fractured, churches compromised, and communities drowning in despair. We’ve watched elected officials sell out sovereignty for power, corporations bow to woke ideology, and entire generations raised without any anchor in God’s Word. The damage runs deep. Inflation crushes the working man, crime stalks our streets, children are targeted in schools, and the very idea of right and wrong is mocked in the public square. Yet despair is not the Christian response. God has not abandoned His people. He is sovereign over nations and history. The question is no longer what has happened to America. The real question is what now? Will we retreat into silence and comfort, or will we stand as watchmen on the wall? Revival starts in the heart of the believer. It spreads through faithful homes, bold pulpits, and everyday citizens who refuse to bend the knee to Caesar. The hour is late, but the God who parted seas and raised the dead is still on the throne. Our duty is clear: repent, pray, prepare, and engage. The battle for the soul of this nation is not over until the King returns.

PRACTICAL TIPS: Start where you stand. Secure your household first. Build a three-month supply of food, water, and basic medical supplies. Not because the sky is falling tomorrow, but because wise men see trouble and prepare. Get your finances in order: pay down debt, build an emergency fund, and reduce dependence on fragile systems. Teach your children Scripture and basic skills, firearms safety included. Find or start a small group of like-minded believers who will pray together and stand together when pressure comes. These steps are not fear-driven. They are obedience-driven. A man who provides for his own has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. Begin today. Small consistent actions compound into real strength.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: Everyday Americans still hold the power to turn the tide, but only if we stop waiting for someone else to lead. First, reject passivity. Stop outsourcing your thinking to cable news or social media algorithms. Read your Bible daily, study history, and discern the times. Second, engage locally. School boards, city councils, county commissions, these are battlegrounds where real change happens. Show up, speak truth, run for office if God calls you. Third, support independent voices and businesses that refuse to bow to the cultural Marxists. Your dollars are votes. Fourth, disciple your family and your neighbors. Share the Gospel, teach biblical worldview, raise sons and daughters who fear God more than man. Fifth, pray without ceasing for national repentance and revival. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God for pulling down strongholds. None of this is glamorous. Most of it happens quietly in kitchens, garages, and church basements. But that is exactly how God has always worked. A faithful remnant can shift the course of a nation. We don’t need a majority. We need courage, conviction, and consistency. The republic can still be saved, not by politicians, but by a people who remember whose they are and act like it.

The J.J. Carrell Show – EP68 If You Give a Communist an Inch…

January 30th, 2026 5:02 pm 3 minute read

EXECUTIVE BRIEF: Will We Ever Get That Inch Back? We all know the old saying twisted here for a reason: give a communist an inch and they take a mile, every single time. Look at history, brothers and sisters, from the Bolsheviks grabbing power after small concessions to the slow creep of socialism right here in our backyard. Today in 2026 we see the same pattern playing out again. Small policy wins for the left turn into massive overreach, whether it’s open borders letting in who knows what threats, or cultural pushes that erode our Christian foundations bit by bit. The pattern is clear. Start with “compassionate” immigration tweaks and end up with sanctuary cities shielding criminals while American communities suffer. Give ground on education and suddenly our kids get bombarded with ideologies that mock God and family. Yield on economic controls and watch freedom vanish under layers of regulations and wealth redistribution schemes. The Chinese Communist Party looms large too, infiltrating our agriculture, tech, and even pushing their electric vehicles to undercut our industries while their spies operate with impunity. We conservatives, rooted in biblical truth and love for this republic, have watched these incremental grabs for years. Each time we compromise thinking it’s just one small step, the other side pockets it and demands more. The question staring us in the face is whether we can claw any of that ground back before it’s gone for good. Scripture warns us about unequally yoked partnerships and standing firm against evil schemes. We’ve got to stop pretending dialogue with those who hate our way of life will fix anything. The communists don’t negotiate in good faith, they advance. Time to recognize the spiritual battle here and act like it matters eternally.

BORDER TRUTH – Does Minnesota Represent America?

January 29th, 2026 3:20 pm 3 minute read

Does the state of Minnesota represent America and ground zero for the insane or is America still a nation of law and order? This is a huge question that needs an answer. The answer, which is difficult to truly ascertain, would give us the true direction of the country. Are we a nation of strong law and order or have we devolved into a nation ruled by chaos and emotions.

The J.J. Carrell Show – EP67 America Has a Mental Illness Crisis

January 29th, 2026 10:00 am 4 minute read

EXECUTIVE BRIEF: Calling This a Crisis… Look, we’ve got a full-blown mental illness epidemic tearing through this country, and pretending it’s just stress or modern life won’t cut it anymore. Recent numbers show over 60 million adults dealing with some form of mental illness each year, that’s roughly one in four people walking around with anxiety, depression, or worse. Youth are hit especially hard, with major depressive episodes still affecting a big chunk of kids 12 to 17, even if some stats dipped a little lately. Suicide thoughts haunt millions, attempts climb, and overdoses keep claiming lives like it’s nothing. From a conservative Christian standpoint, this didn’t happen overnight. We’ve kicked God out of schools, homes, and public life for decades, replaced absolute truth with feelings and relativism, and now we’re shocked when people feel lost and hopeless. Social media feeds endless comparison and despair, families are fractured by divorce and absent fathers, chemicals in food and water mess with brains, and big pharma pushes pills that mask symptoms without fixing root causes. The left wants to blame guns or climate or capitalism, but the real culprit is a godless culture that tells people they’re accidents in a meaningless universe. Without Christ at the center, no wonder minds unravel. We’ve turned from biblical wisdom, personal responsibility, and strong communities built on faith, and the fallout is this crisis. It’s not just medical, it’s spiritual warfare playing out in real time. We need to call it what it is, a rejection of God’s design leading to widespread brokenness.
