    <description><![CDATA[<p>Should a Christian vote for a flawed candidate? With the 2026 midterm elections weeks away, Pastor Marc Little asks what a believer owes the ballot box, and he answers it as a pastor, a lawyer and a political commentator.</p><p>Marc opens with the scoreboard: the generic ballot, the Senate map, and the races that will decide control in Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Maine, Alaska and Kansas. He explains why Democrats lead on the cost of living, why Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed could not say Iran is a threat, and what the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America means for voters. He then names four things on the ballot besides affordability: religious liberty, the border, law and order, and women’s sports.</p><p>From Matthew 5, Marc makes the case that salt and light do nothing from a distance, and that voting is a duty for a Christian. He takes on the harder question of the morally imperfect candidate, drawing on Jethro’s counsel to Moses, Romans 3:23, and Cyrus, the pagan king God called His anointed.</p><p>The episode ends in Texas, where James Talarico and Ken Paxton are in a dead heat for the United States Senate. Marc defines apostasy, reads Talarico’s own words about God and Christianity, states Paxton’s marital scandal plainly, and explains why he votes the record. There is no virtuous party in this country. The ballot box and a Bible study are two different things.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/support">Support the show</a></p><p>If you liked this episode, subscribe, download it, and share it.  Follow our host, Marc Little, on most social media platforms at @realmarctlittle. <br/><br/></p>]]></description>

Marc walks through the letter in full context and makes the case that the wall it describes was built to keep government out of the church, not to keep God out of government, a distinction that has been inverted over the last two centuries.</p><p>From there, Marc traces four Supreme Court rulings across sixty years that reshaped the role of faith in American public life: Engel v. Vitale (1962), which removed prayer from public schools; Roe v. Wade (1973); Stone v. Graham (1980), which struck the Ten Commandments from Kentucky classrooms; and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). He connects each ruling to Proverbs 14:34, arguing that a nation&apos;s moral foundation cannot be legislated out of existence by court order alone.</p><p>The episode then turns to the case now sitting in front of the Supreme Court, Cribbs Ringer v. Comal Independent School District, the legal fight over Texas Senate Bill 10 and its requirement that public classrooms display the Ten Commandments. Marc lays out both sides of the constitutional argument honestly, then raises a direct challenge to the Christian and Jewish families named as plaintiffs in the case, asking whether their objection is to a specific translation, or to the moral law itself.</p><p><b>In this episode, Pastor Marc covers:</b></p><ul><li>The real story behind Thomas Jefferson&apos;s 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptist Association</li><li>Why the &quot;wall of separation&quot; was built to restrain government, not to erase God from public life</li><li>Four Supreme Court rulings that reshaped faith in American public life: Engel v.

If you have ever felt a persistent ache, like something is still missing even after reconciliation, this episode names that ache. It is called the orphan spirit, a hidden wound carried by millions.</p><p>Whether your father was absent, emotionally distant, or present but disconnected, that wound can stay buried for decades, quietly shaping your relationships, your sense of purpose, and your sense of belonging.</p><p>In this episode, Pastor Marc Little unpacks the orphan spirit through three distinct doors: the father who was never in the home, the father who was physically present but emotionally checked out, and the father who loved but never learned to show it. Marc explains how these wounds create a hunger for affirmation and belonging that reconciliation alone often cannot satisfy, drawing on his own story of reconciling with his father later in life and discovering that reconciliation was not the same thing as healing.</p><p>Marc turns to Scripture for the answer. The older brother in Luke 15. Jesus&apos; promise in John 14:18 that He will not leave us as orphans. Paul&apos;s teaching in Ephesians 1 that our adoption as sons and daughters was predestined, not an afterthought. Healing from the orphan spirit is not about erasing the ache. It is about receiving a Father who was never waiting to be convinced to love you.</p><p>If you are tired of surface-level fixes, or waiting on a reunion to finally settle the ache inside you, this conversation offers something different. You were never actually without a Father. Discover how to name the wound, understand the difference between father hunger and father wound, and find the healing that only comes from Abba Father.</p><p><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/support">Support the show</a></p><p>If you liked this episode, subscribe, download it, and share it.  Follow our host, Marc Little, on most social media platforms at @realmarctlittle. <br/><br/></p>]]></description>

He brings two decades of courtroom experience to a conversation most media outlets are afraid to have honestly.</p><p>If you&apos;ve watched this case in the headlines and wondered how the law can protect a lyric but not a life, this episode is for you.</p><p><a target='_blank' href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/fan_mail/new'>Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><a rel='payment' href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/support'>Support the show</a></p><p>If you liked this episode, subscribe, download it, and share it.  Follow our host, Marc Little, on most social media platforms at @realmarctlittle. <br/><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/support">Support the show</a></p><p>If you liked this episode, subscribe, download it, and share it.  Follow our host, Marc Little, on most social media platforms at @realmarctlittle. <br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>

And while most Americans are ready to celebrate, a growing chorus of voices, prominent ones, Black ones, is telling the country that this anniversary does not belong to everyone. That the founding was fraudulent. That the flag is a symbol of exclusion, not freedom.</p><p>I reject that. And in this episode, I dismantle it.</p><p>This is not a blind defense of American history. Slavery happened. Jim Crow happened. The stains are real and documented. But a nation is not defined by its worst chapter. It is defined by the direction it travels when it confronts that chapter. And for 250 years, America has traveled in the right direction, imperfectly, painfully, and at enormous cost.</p><p>The left has weaponized Frederick Douglass to make their case. They quote his 1852 speech, &quot;What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?&quot;, and stop before he calls the Constitution a &quot;Glorious Liberty Document.&quot; They stop before he says, &quot;I do not despair of this country.&quot; They stop before he goes on to serve as U.S. Marshal, U.S. Minister to Haiti, and advisor to presidents. I am reclaiming Douglass from the narrative that has hijacked him.</p><p>The Declaration of Independence is not a white document. It is a theological one. &quot;Endowed by their Creator&quot; is not political language dressed up in faith. It is the most powerful argument for human equality ever written into a founding charter. The Black church understood that before almost anyone. The abolitionist movement was a faith movement. The Civil Rights movement was a theological movement that used political tools. Those leaders did not burn America down. They held her accountable to her own promises.</p><p>In 1993, my wife and I sat across from each other and asked ourselves a question: why are we voting Democrat? We went back to first principles. Our biblical worldview lined up squarely with the conservative movement and the Republican Party. And it never once occurred to me, not once, to question whether I should be proud to be an American.</p><p>Because I have eyes. I can see people from every nation crossing deserts and oceans to reach this country. People do not risk their lives to reach a white man&apos;s country. They risk their lives to reach a free one.</p><p>This episode is for patriots, believers, conservatives, and anyone asking whether the America they love still stands for something worth defending.

From Venezuela and Cuba to the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Zimbabwe, Marc argues that socialism consistently concentrates power, erodes freedom, and leaves ordinary people paying the price.</p><p>He also tackles one of the biggest arguments in the debate: whether the Bible supports socialism. Drawing from Acts, Second Thessalonians, and broader Scripture, Marc explains why the early church’s voluntary generosity is not the same as government redistribution, and why the church has a responsibility to lead with truth, stewardship, and action.</p><p>If you’re searching for a Christian perspective on socialism, a conservative take on government control, or a biblical response to economic justice debates, this episode delivers a direct, urgent warning.

Marc closes with a call for the church to speak up, serve the vulnerable, and resist political ideologies that trade freedom for power.</p><p>Subscribe for more conversations on faith, culture, politics, and biblical truth.</p><p><a target='_blank' href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/fan_mail/new'>Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><a rel='payment' href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/support'>Support the show</a></p><p>If you liked this episode, subscribe, download it, and share it.  Follow our host, Marc Little, on most social media platforms at @realmarctlittle. <br/><br/></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/fan_mail/new">Send us Fan Mail</a></p><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/1930854/support">Support the show</a></p><p>If you liked this episode, subscribe, download it, and share it.  Follow our host, Marc Little, on most social media platforms at @realmarctlittle. <br/><br/></p>]]></content:encoded>

    <description><![CDATA[<p><b>What if God&apos;s most disruptive leaders aren’t the polished diplomats you expect—but the roughest, most relentless drivers of change?</b></p><p><br/>God has never required His instruments to be polished. He has required them to be purposeful. And in this provocative, scripturally grounded episode, Pastor Marc Little makes the case that refusing to recognize God&apos;s hand in disruptive leadership — whatever your politics — may itself be a form of rebellion against divine purpose.</p><p>Drawing a direct parallel between President Donald Trump and the fierce, flawed, divinely commissioned prophet-king Jehu of 2 Kings, Pastor Marc unpacks one of the Bible&apos;s most uncomfortable patterns: God routinely raises leaders who drive furiously, dismantle corrupt systems, and execute judgment — leaders that the religious establishment of their day rejected, misunderstood, or refused to pray for.</p><p>You&apos;ll discover:</p><ul><li>The biblical case for Jehu as a prototype of disruptive, divinely sanctioned leadership — and why his mandate was violent, unconventional, and undeniably from God</li><li>How to distinguish a leader&apos;s personal flaws from their divine assignment — a distinction the Bible makes repeatedly that modern Christians often refuse</li><li>Why political tribalism — on both left and right — blinds believers to God&apos;s strategic use of tumultuous leaders in critical hours</li><li>The biblical command to pray for governing authorities regardless of personal opinion, party affiliation, or character assessment</li><li>How dismantling corrupted institutions — whether in ancient Israel or modern America — serves gospel progress and national sovereignty</li><li>Why rejecting God&apos;s chosen instrument on the basis of style, personality, or political tribe may constitute spiritual rebellion, not discernment</li></ul><p>This episode is not a political endorsement. It is a theological challenge. Pastor Marc Little — pastor, attorney, and political commentator — calls believers to move from reaction to discernment, and from political allegiance to prophetic clarity.</p><p>Whether you love or loathe the current political moment, the question this episode poses is the same: Can you see God&apos;s hand even when His instrument offends your sensibilities?</p><p>The Marc Little Show — Faith, Law, and the Culture War.

And in this provocative, scripturally grounded episode, Pastor Marc Little makes the case that refusing to recognize God&apos;s hand in disruptive leadership — whatever your politics — may itself be a form of rebellion against divine purpose.</p><p>Drawing a direct parallel between President Donald Trump and the fierce, flawed, divinely commissioned prophet-king Jehu of 2 Kings, Pastor Marc unpacks one of the Bible&apos;s most uncomfortable patterns: God routinely raises leaders who drive furiously, dismantle corrupt systems, and execute judgment — leaders that the religious establishment of their day rejected, misunderstood, or refused to pray for.</p><p>You&apos;ll discover:</p><ul><li>The biblical case for Jehu as a prototype of disruptive, divinely sanctioned leadership — and why his mandate was violent, unconventional, and undeniably from God</li><li>How to distinguish a leader&apos;s personal flaws from their divine assignment — a distinction the Bible makes repeatedly that modern Christians often refuse</li><li>Why political tribalism — on both left and right — blinds believers to God&apos;s strategic use of tumultuous leaders in critical hours</li><li>The biblical command to pray for governing authorities regardless of personal opinion, party affiliation, or character assessment</li><li>How dismantling corrupted institutions — whether in ancient Israel or modern America — serves gospel progress and national sovereignty</li><li>Why rejecting God&apos;s chosen instrument on the basis of style, personality, or political tribe may constitute spiritual rebellion, not discernment</li></ul><p>This episode is not a political endorsement. It is a theological challenge. Pastor Marc Little — pastor, attorney, and political commentator — calls believers to move from reaction to discernment, and from political allegiance to prophetic clarity.</p><p>Whether you love or loathe the current political moment, the question this episode poses is the same: Can you see God&apos;s hand even when His instrument offends your sensibilities?</p><p>The Marc Little Show — Faith, Law, and the Culture War.

    <description><![CDATA[<p>There are seasons when God is clearly providing — and yet it still doesn&apos;t feel like enough. The manna falls every morning, but you wanted more than manna. The daily bread arrives, but you are exhausted and the destination still feels impossibly far. If you have ever been in that place, this episode speaks directly to you.</p><p>Pastor Marc Little opens this episode with a deceptively simple question: What do you do when God&apos;s provision is real but feels insufficient?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are seasons when God is clearly providing — and yet it still doesn&apos;t feel like enough. The manna falls every morning, but you wanted more than manna.

He points to the only answer adequate to it — not a political movement, not a social program, not a return to a romanticized past, but the transforming, invading, culture-confronting Kingdom of God.</p><p>You&apos;ll discover:</p><ul><li>What moral inversion is, where Scripture identifies it, and why it is not merely a cultural trend but a theological condition with eternal consequences</li><li>How contemporary American culture has systematically redefined good and evil — through law, media, education, and increasingly through the church itself</li><li>The biblical framework for understanding the Kingdom of God: not a future abstraction but a present reality that confronts every false kingdom with the authority of Christ</li><li>Why &quot;Thy Kingdom come&quot; is not a passive prayer but an active declaration — a statement of allegiance and a call to embody kingdom values in every sphere of life</li><li>How believers are called to choose wisely in a culture that has blurred every moral line — and what that choice costs and what it produces</li><li>Why the Kingdom of God is the only force in human history with the power to reorder what moral inversion has disordered</li></ul><p>This episode calls believers to clarity, courage, and kingdom alignment — not comfort.

    <title>The Dying Pulpit in America: When Preachers Worship the Idols of Culture</title>
    <itunes:summary><![CDATA[A.W. Tozer warned that a preacher who worries about his job, salary, or future standing while writing his sermon has already stopped being a true shepherd.
