The Liberty Action Alert Podcast

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 in the wisdom ne...

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 perspect...

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...

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 political left and right, leading to confusion about the role of faith in public...

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 fait...

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 th...

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 “statism” in America, coupled with cultural secularism, the constituti...

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, alway...

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 part of God’s pr...

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...

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 vital issue—...

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 Easte...

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 response from...

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?” We will...

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...

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 religious liberty and the Church’s freedo...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest Dr. Everett Piper—author of Not a Daycare: The Devastating Consequences of Abandoning Truth, Washington Times columnist, former university president, and radio host—as they discuss modern progressive Christian accusations that conservative Christian engagement in politics is unbiblical and untoward. In essence, the progressive perspective is the one that merges state coercive power with Matthew 25 benevolence—making for bad government and even worse Church. Provocative? Yes. Informative? Yes. Hear the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on this vital issue, as we continue to grow i...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Sarah Parshall Perry, VP and Legal Fellow at Defending Education, as they discuss the cases before the Supreme Court that seek to protect women’s sports exclusively for women. The egalitarian notion that men and women are exactly the same has wreaked havoc in our society, and it is now undermining the very protections Title IX sought to secure. Will this be the cultural turning point back to common sense and sanity? Listen in for the challenges and the opportunities, as well as th...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco, exclusive columnist for the Christian Post. She brings her unique perspective and experience as a former devout Muslim who worked for decades in the field of national security and then experienced the redemptive power of Jesus Christ, becoming a Christian. She now brings that faith and wisdom to bear on many issues concerning Islam, the West, and the Christian mission to share Christ with all people.

Today’s topic is the potential freedom of the Iranian people from th...

This week on the Liberty Action Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, former Governor and U.S. Senator Sam Brownback — who also served as Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom from 2018 to 2021 and now co-chairs the International Religious Freedom Summit — as they discuss the work of the NCRF and LCRL, and why defending religious liberty at home and abroad is both a prayer priority for Christians and a national responsibility for the U.S. for the sake of freedom and global stability.

Listen in for the challenges and the opportunities, as well as the lega...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Michael Finch, President of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, as they talk about cultural solutions and the critical importance of restoring the greatness of the principles of American culture. They push back against the statist, progressive Left’s attacks on our history, culture, and even our freedoms.

Listen in for the challenges and opportunities, as well as the legal, cultural, faith, and missional perspectives on these vital issues. Together, we grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Jo...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Doctor Seltz and his guest, Robyn Chambers, Vice President of Advocacy for Children at Focus on the Family, as they talk about protecting mothers and their babies at pregnancy resource centers, and the misuse and abuse of the FACE Act — which is now targeting peaceful, pro-life individuals who are committed to blessing those who believe abortion is their only option. Who could be against that?

Listen in for the challenges and opportunities — as well as the legal, cultural, faith, and missional perspectives on these vital cases — as we continue to gro...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, 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—as they talk about the latest updates on religious liberty decisions and cases at the Supreme Court.

They’ll also discuss the incredible religious liberty protections we’re seeing in this moment, along with the moral responsibility for citizens to exercise these gifts rightly for the sake of the culture and the mission of the Church.

What...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Father Frank Pavone—National Director of Priests for Life and Missionaries of the Gospel of Life, and a compassionate defender of the pro-life message in the public square—as we talk about how free speech, free association, and religious liberty allow a pro-life culture to grow organically—through persuasion, compassion, and truth—rather than coercion.

We’ll also discuss how constitutional victories, truthful speech, and compassionate alternatives combine to shift hearts, minds, and behavior—leading to fewer abortions and a more humane society.

Listen in...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Simon Hankinson, Senior Research Fellow in the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, as they discuss his book, “The Ten Woke Commandments You Must Not Obey.”

This is a must-read for Christians engaged in today’s culture war, equipping believers to recognize and reject modern ideologies that demand the denial of truth, faith, history, and biological reality. With clear arguments and practical resources, the book empowers Christians to stand courageously for biblical truth, free speech, and moral clarity in an increasingly hostil...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz for reflections on the message of Christmas amidst the challenges and opportunities of life in 2024-2025. Rejoice anew with the shepherds of that first Christmas Eve. Reflect on the profundity and clarity of the message of the angels. And keep it simple in your life—faith in this Child changes everything. Living in freedom in America is a blessing, yes, because it gives us freedom to be faithful to Him and to serve others in His name without fear.

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Doctor Seltz and his guest Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, as they discuss why, even especially at Christmastime, Americans must fight to protect the freedom to worship the Christ child freely, as socialist and communist influences continue to infiltrate this nation and redefine not just its politics, but its soul. Tune in, educate yourself on the issue, and, as always, put your 2KG citizenship to work for the sake of our culture and the mission of the Church. Join us!

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Doctor Seltz and his guest, Timothy S. Goeglein, Vice President of Government and External Relations at Focus on the Family (D.C.), as they discuss the common-sense—but lost-to-our-culture—truth that when it comes to marriage, faith matters… and divorce hurts children. When did we become so arrogant in our disobedience? And how can our culture turn around from the anti-family, anti-marriage, anti-children, culturally suicidal path we’re on? Listen in for the challenges and opportunities—the legal, the cultural, and the faith perspectives—on this vital issue, as we continue to grow in t...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Todd Zimmerman — the visionary author and entrepreneur behind a growing library of inspirational children’s books and school programs that celebrate faith, kindness, and patriotism. He is the creator of the nationally acclaimed Oliver the Ornament series — a seven-book collection that tells the story of one family’s Christmas ornaments. Each book reveals heartfelt lessons in kindness, friendship, forgiveness, and tradition. These are books that will bless children and parents alike.

Listen in for the cultural and faith perspectives on these great books, as we conti...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Father Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and Missionaries of the Gospel of Life—a compassionate defender of the pro-life message in the public square—as we talk about why the Catholic community, Catholic institutions, indeed all pro-life Americans, should NEVER honor those who act in defiance of the Bible’s fundamental moral perspective concerning life. Government officials should never be given awards, honors, or platforms that would equivocate vastly different moral issues, suggesting support for their actions on one issue while they violate the fu...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Doctor Gregory Seltz and his guest, Larry Elder — national talk show host, author, and former California gubernatorial candidate — as they discuss a fundamental cultural and political issue that few are willing to address: fatherlessness and the political destruction of the family unit. They also discuss his new book, As Goes California. Hear how the Church can uniquely respond to this crisis, both culturally and spiritually. Listen in for dialogue that explores the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives on this vital issue — as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 K...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Dr. George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, as they discuss new Barna/CRC research findings that reveal most Americans reject the biblical notion of sin — tragically, even within the Church.

Going forward, this is the most fundamental issue in American culture. For if there is no sin, there is no salvation; without salvation, there are no changed hearts, no civility, no liberty, and no peace.

The truth remains: the wages of sin is death. Th...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Mrs. Andrea Unger (Andie)—LCMS member, retired Lutheran educator, and Dearborn resident—as they discuss not only the growing Muslim presence in Dearborn, Hamtramck, and Detroit, but also the increasing influence of Sharia Law perspectives on those city councils. They also examine the growing imposition of Islamic practices on the non-Muslim residents of these neighborhoods.

The issue isn’t whether one can pray publicly; the question is whether someone can amplify their prayers to invade another’s private, personal space. The residents say “no.” The c...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Doctor Gregory Seltz and his guest, Brad Brandon, Founder and CEO of Across Nigeria — as they discuss the global rise of Sharia Law, Zohran Mamdani’s ‘Intifada’ silence, and its impact on U.S. politics. If Sharia law and Constitutional law are “incompatible,” how can a follower of Sharia Law be elected to political office and promise to protect and defend the Constitution? Do Americans understand the foundational differences between these worldviews? Why does it matter — especially with respect to our public leadership? Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspectives o...

This week on The Liberty Alert with Greg Seltz, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest Christina Bobb, an attorney in D.C. with an emphasis in national security law and former Trump lawyer.

What do you do when the dividers call for unity, and the lawfare types—now being held accountable—scream “foul”… all while still dividing, weaponizing politics, and politicizing the justice system?

My next guest knows this all too well: you have to fight back or lose your liberty.

Listen in for the legal, cultural, and faith perspective on these vital issu...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest William Wolfe, a visiting fellow with the Center for Renewing America, as they discuss Colorado’s new law, HB1312—also known as the so-called “Kelly Loving Act.” This law effectively criminalizes the Christian moral teaching of two genders—male and female—by forcing churches, schools, and Christian ministries to adopt the transgender agenda or face lawsuits, penalties, or worse. The madness is here. Listen in for legal, cultural, and faith-based perspectives on these vital issues… as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom c...

This week on The Liberty Alert, join Dr. Gregory Seltz and his guest, Lt. Col. Allen West (ret.), the Executive Director of the American Constitutional Rights Union and ACRU Action Fund — a constitutional conservative, combat veteran, and former member of the U.S. Congress — as they tackle the issue of chaos in our cities: sky-high taxes, soft-on-crime policies, and bloated government that delivers less protection, more regulation, and a growing nanny state.

Is it time to “escape from New York”? Listen in for the legal, the cultural, and the faith perspective on these vital issues… as we continue t...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Dr. Seltz and his guest, Timothy S. Goeglein, Vice President of Government and External Relations at Focus on the Family (D.C.), as they reflect on the life and ministry of Charlie Kirk while also discussing the cultural, prophetic voice of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan from sixty years ago.

At a time when the Christian worldview is being demonized and caricatured, now more than ever, Christians must embrace our calling to be God’s preserving voice in the public square—courageously, whatever the cost—while faithfully sharing the love of Jes...

This week on The Liberty Action Alert, join Doctor Seltz and his guest Doctor 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 evilness of the Charlie Kirk assassination, the reactions, the good, the bad, the ugly responses, and the way forward for a civil society. Hear the cultural, legal, and 2KG faith perspectives on this vital issue… as we continue to grow in the wisdom needed to be 2 Kingdom citizens for the country we love. Join us!
