This week, Debi is joined by Steele Brand, associate professor at Arizona State University.

In 2016, the Arizona Legislature established and funded the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership (SCETL) at ASU aiming to promote the study of Western civilization, American institutions, and free-market philosophy. Professor Brand is one of the professors who teaches in this important program

Debi and Professor Brand discuss the importance of a classical liberal arts education which emphasizes reading historical and original source texts as well as deep analysis and discussion. We cannot preserve Western Civilization if we are not teaching its history and principals to future generations.

Debi and Professor Brand discuss the importance that revolutionary era thinkers and leaders with vastly different backgrounds and belief systems placed on morality, religion and truth.

Finally, they discuss the programs available at ASU as well as the opportunities for the public to take part in lectures and other events.

This week, Debi is joined by Leisa Brug, VP of Advocacy at Center for Arizona Policy and CAP Action.

Leisa shares un update on the systematic dismantling of our state's common sense pro-life laws following the tragic passing of Prop 139 in November. Elections have consequences

Debi and Leisa discuss the process of how a bill becomes a law and the work that goes on behind the scenes to draft and pass good legislation. Leisa and Debi encourage viewers to go to the Capitol to sit in the gallery or sit in on a committee hearing to get a firsthand education on the legislative process.

Finally, Leisa and Debi talk about the enormous importance of the 2026 elections. Midterm elections typically have a lower voter turnout and historically tend to skew against the party in the White House. This election year needs to be all hands on deck.

This week, Debi is joined by Gabriel and Kellee Napoleon.

Gabriel and Kellee share the story of their own road to redemption. They talk about meeting in addiction and living in that addiction for years.

After testing positive for drugs following the delivery of their third child, their lives suddenly hit a crossroads. Kellee and Gabriel talk about how ending up at the Phoenix Dream Center changed the trajectory of their entire family's lives for good.

Debi, Gabriel and Kellee also talk about how governmental systems in many ways set them up to fail. They succeeded because they were determined to follow God and to get their kids back and they had strong support from family and from the body of Christ. Through all of this God worked a miracle in their lives.
