Eric Metaxas begins the episode with Todd Chatman from Christian Solidarity International, who shares the stunning reality that slavery is still happening today in Sudan and explains how CSI has already freed more than 120,000 people. Todd describes how every $250 gift directly rescues an enslaved person and provides the essentials needed to start a new life. In the second half, John Zmirak joins Eric for a sobering look at America’s cultural decline and asks whether we are drifting toward a soft totalitarian state. Zmirak explains how ideology, propaganda, and weaponized compassion are reshaping society and why Christians must recover discernment before freedoms vanish. The episode connects global injustice with domestic cultural decay in one urgent conversation.

In this episode, Eric Metaxas reveals the surprising true story behind the Pilgrims and Squanto — a part of American history most people were never told. We talk about God’s providence, the first Thanksgiving, the role of faith in survival, and how the real story of Squanto has been erased from mainstream education. This conversation highlights why America’s origins are deeply connected to the Bible, Christianity, and divine intervention. If you care about truth, history, and the foundations of our nation, you don’t want to miss this.Sponsors:
