  • Be Ready: Standing Firm in Uncertain Times

    Be Ready: Standing Firm in Uncertain Times
    8 Nov 2026
    We are living in uncertain times. How should a Christian respond?

    In this special episode, Tom Sears speaks plainly to believers who feel the unrest. Debt, fragile supply chains, wars overseas, and a culture that has cut itself loose from its foundation have many people asking the same question: what is coming, and what do I do about it?

    Tom’s answer is simple. Be ready, and do not be afraid.

    You will hear about:

    Why these are uncertain times. You do not need to know the date of the storm to know that storms come.

    The biblical case for being ready. Proverbs 22:3, Proverbs 21:20, Joseph in Genesis 41, and 1 Timothy 5:8 on providing for your household.

    Watchmen on the wall. Ezekiel 33 and Nehemiah 4 show a people who prayed and set a watch, and kept building.

    Home, church, and neighborhood first. When trouble comes, the first help is the family, the church, and the neighbor with a truck and a chainsaw.

    A practical plan for your household. Water, food, medicine, light, cash, getting out of debt, and the skills our grandparents knew. Start with the likely emergencies, not the dramatic ones.

    Spiritual readiness. Daily time in the Word, family prayer, faithful church attendance, and settling now to obey God rather than men.

    Do not be afraid. Isaiah 41:10, 2 Timothy 1:7, and John 16:33 remind us that Christ has already overcome the world.

    What we owe the next generation. Every generation has faced uncertainty, and those that endured had family, faith, and community.

    Prepare like Joseph. Watch like Nehemiah. Rest like a child of the King.

  • The Battle Is On: Faith that Founded A Nation

    The Battle Is On: Faith that Founded A Nation
    3 Nov 2026
    What if the story you were taught about America’s founding is only half true? Today, the record gets a fair hearing.

    In Episode 4 of The Battle Is On series, Tom Sears asks one of the biggest questions in the culture war: was America built on faith, or is that just a story Christians tell? One side says we were a Christian nation, period. The other says the founders were skeptics and the country was secular from day one. Tom walks through the actual record, and he is honest where it gets complicated.

    You will hear about:

    A morning in New York, April 30, 1789. George Washington’s first act as President was a public prayer, and the new government walked to St. Paul’s Chapel to worship.

    The version you were probably taught. Jefferson, Paine, and Franklin’s doubts are real, but so are Witherspoon, Samuel Adams, Roger Sherman, and Charles Carroll.

    Washington’s own words. His Thanksgiving proclamation and his Farewell Address, plus an honest look at the Valley Forge prayer story.

    Franklin and the failing Convention. His 1787 call for prayer, Psalm 127:1, and what happened to his motion.

    The Black Robe Regiment. The patriot preachers who helped shape a revolution.What the documents actually say about God.

    The Declaration, the Constitution, the First Amendment, and early state constitutions.

    A city upon a hill. Winthrop, Lincoln’s 1863 day of prayer, and 2 Chronicles 7:14.

    Why this history matters right now. The battle is first a battle for the story, and the people who tell it shape the next generation.

    This series is built chapter by chapter around Tom’s new book, The Battle Is On: America’s New Civil War.

  • The Battle Is On Series: What's Actually at Stake

    The Battle Is On Series: What's Actually at Stake
    16 Aug 2026
    You do not have to go to church to have skin in this game.

    This episode is for the person who loves America but is not sure the faith argument applies to them. The person who can feel that something is wrong but has not yet connected the dots. The person who is skeptical of religious arguments but cares deeply about freedom, about their children's future, and about the kind of country America is becoming.

    Tom Sears makes the case today that the removal of America's Christian foundation is not primarily a religious issue. It is a historical one. And history is not ambiguous about what happens when governments decide that human dignity does not come from God.

    The Soviet Union thought they were building a better world. So did Nazi Germany. So did Mao's China. So did the Khmer Rouge. Every one of them rejected the idea that rights come from God. Every one of them produced mass graves. That is not alarmism. That is the documented record of the 20th century. And it raises a question that almost nobody in the current debate is asking.

    If you take the Christian foundation away, what do you replace it with?

    Episode 3 of the Battle Is On series also covers what is actually being taught to the next generation in American classrooms, why the mental health crisis among young Americans is connected to the removal of their heritage, why the freedoms most Americans take for granted rest on a foundation being pulled out from under them, and why John Adams was right when he said the Constitution is wholly inadequate to the government of any people who are not moral and religious.

    This episode is drawn from The Battle Is On: America's New Civil War by Tom Sears. The book, the interactive workbooks, and all Legacy Living Media programs are available at legacylivingmedia.com.

  • The Battle Is On Series: Two Visions of America

    The Battle Is On Series: Two Visions of America
    8 Aug 2026
    America is not having a political argument right now. It is having a foundational one. And those do not resolve the same way.

    For as long as most people can remember, the assumption has been that the battles playing out in American culture are just the normal back-and-forth of a diverse democracy. Left and right. Liberal and conservative. The pendulum swings, and eventually it swings back.

    That assumption is wrong. And understanding why it is wrong is the beginning of understanding everything else happening in this country right now.

    In Episode 2 of the Battle Is On series, Tom Sears lays out the two visions of America that are competing for the soul of the nation. Not two political platforms. Two completely different answers to the most foundational questions of human life. Where do rights come from. What is a human being. What holds a free society together. Two answers so different they cannot permanently coexist. Only one of them can win.

    Tom also addresses the hardest objection to America's Christian heritage head-on. The slavery argument. And he brings in the most powerful possible answer to it. Not a political argument. A historical one. Frederick Douglass was a man who had been enslaved and had every reason to reject the founding as fraudulent. He chose instead to wield the founding principles as the most powerful weapon against the injustice he had lived. His answer to Vision Two is the answer this episode is built around.

    Tom also opens today's program with a full overview of everything available through Legacy Living Media. The books Into the Deep, Out of the Cave, Lay It Down, While It Is Day, and The Battle Is On, along with the interactive workbooks designed for personal growth and small group use. All of it is at legacylivingmedia.com.

  • Why It Matters: 7-29-26

    Why It Matters: 7-29-26
    29 Jul 2026
    The invisible war is the most dangerous kind. Here is why.

    On Monday, we introduced the idea that America is in a war that was never declared. Today we go deeper. How does a culture actually get transformed without most people noticing? How do ideas move through institutions and reshape what an entire generation believes? And what does Scripture say about a people who do not know the time they are living in?

    Why It Matters is the Wednesday edition of the What's Important Now platform, eight to twelve minutes of history, faith, and worldview designed to give you the deeper context behind what is happening in this country right now. Not just the headline. The history behind the headline. Not just the problem. The biblical framework for understanding it.

    This week Tom Sears traces the strategy behind the cultural transformation of America, how the long march through the institutions works, why it has been so effective, and why the prophet Jeremiah and the Apostle Paul both issued the same warning to people living in exactly this kind of moment.

    Peace, peace, when there is no peace. That is the condition of a people who are not paying attention. This program is for the people who are.

    Find the full thirty-minute program, the book, and everything Legacy Living Media produces at legacylivingmedia.com.

  • The Battle Is On Series: The Shot Not Heard

    The Battle Is On Series: The Shot Not Heard
    25 Jul 2026
    America is in a war. And most of the people on our side don't know it.

    Not a war fought on a battlefield. Not a war with weapons you can see. This is a war over the soul of America, over her identity, her history, and the foundation she was built on. And unlike every other war this nation has faced, this one was never declared.No shot heard round the world. No mobilization. Just the slow, quiet, patient transformation of American culture, through classrooms, courtrooms, seminaries, and newsrooms, over decades that most Americans were not watching.

    In Episode 1 of The Battle Is On series, Tom Sears opens sixteen weeks of programming drawn directly from his new book The Battle Is On: America's New Civil War. Today he tackles the question that sets up everything that follows: what exactly is a culture war, why is the invisible kind the most dangerous kind, and what are the three foundational questions whose answers determine whether this republic survives?

    This episode covers the shot not heard. The war nobody declared. The three questions that decide everything: where rights come from, what a human being is, and what holds a free society together. George Washington's Farewell Address. John Adams on the Constitution. And the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 that has not expired.

    This is not a program built on fear. It is built on clarity. And clarity is what this moment requires.

    The Battle Is On is available now at legacylivingmedia.com along with all programs, resources, and everything Legacy Living Media produces.

  • Can America Survive Another 250 Years?

    Can America Survive Another 250 Years?
    8 Jul 2026
    The republic is not lost. But it will not be saved by those who are comfortable.

    In the series finale of "250 Years: Did We Keep the Republic?" Tom Sears brings it all home with the hardest question of the series: can America survive another 250 years? And if the answer is yes, what is God requiring of this generation to make it happen?

    Tom opens with three moments from history that tell the same story in three different centuries. King Josiah, who discovered the lost Book of the Law and tore his robes in grief before leading the greatest national renewal in Israel's history. Nehemiah, who wept over broken walls and then rebuilt them in 52 days. And Jeremiah Lanphier, a New York businessman who opened a room on Fulton Street in 1857, invited people to pray during their lunch hour, and watched it become a revival that swept one million souls into the kingdom in two years. Three ordinary people. Three desperate prayers. Three national turning points.

    Then Tom gets specific. Not inspirational-poster specific. Practically, actionably specific. What does genuine revival actually look like in 2026? What are the five things every listener can do starting this week to be part of the answer rather than part of the problem? And what does Esther 4:14 have to say to a generation living at the most critical hinge point in American history?

    Tom closes the series the way he opened it, with four words that have driven every episode. Did we keep it? His answer is honest, sobering, and full of hope.
