Reflections on Life & Liberty

Reflections on Life & Liberty

So much time is spent "in the fight" that it is easy to forget what we are supposed to be fighting for. To answer that, join Michael Quinn Sullivan each week as he puts the continuing fight for life and liberty in historical, biblical, and personal context.

The Real Parties

The Real Parties

Two political parties are in a fierce competition, with nothing less than the fate of the Republic riding on the outcome. The two parties aren’t who you think.

Public Morals And Private Morality

Public Morals And Private Morality

Reputation is what people see us do; character is what we do when we think no one is watching. The two almost always converge.

Serving Two Masters

Serving Two Masters

The citizens’ precious liberties are routinely sacrificed by politicians at the altar of contrived congeniality in the crony religion of self-promotion.

Confusing Volume And Mass

Confusing Volume And Mass

Depending on your perspective, campaigns either try to convert political volume into a mass of support through messaging, or use the volume of messaging to conceal their lack of mass.

School Board Idiots?

Whatever bad things, like Mark Twain, one has to say about school boards are more appropriately directed at the citizens who elect them.

Remembering Matters

Remembering Matters

The Holocaust was the natural result of the worldview embraced by the Nazis and socialist movements around the world. When one abandons God and His precepts, when one looks to government as the savior, a cult of death and destruction is but a step away.

Written Words Matter

Written Words Matter

We safeguard old writings as a way to demonstrate that, yes, we still mean what we said.

Great Responsibility

Great Responsibility

We are witnesses to the bounty the blessing of liberty can bring, but in our sloth we risk shrugging it off… and falling away.

Be Committed

Be Committed

As activists, we must be committed to the long fight – to a willingness to fight for a better tomorrow we might not ourselves see.

Looking Beyond Christmas

Looking Beyond Christmas

Christmas doesn’t make sense unless we remember that the baby in the manger is the Savior who conquered sin and death.

Liberty Is Good

Liberty Is Good

Liberty is not an economic tool, but a moral imperative.

Spiritualized Cowardice

Spiritualized Cowardice

If liberty is to die here, that death will have been preceded by whimpers of ecclesiastical acquiescence.

Be A Troubler

Be A Troubler

When others fall under the self-induced spell of a false prophet, we must cause trouble by speaking the truth ever more loudly and boldly.

Jesus And Wealth

Jesus And Wealth

Like Hunter Biden, wealth and political status were intertwined for the rich young man in the often misquoted New Testament story.

Joyful Responsibility

Joyful Responsibility

We cannot delegate the preservation of our republic to someone else.

Happy Warriors

Happy Warriors

The issues facing our republic are deadly serious, but that doesn’t mean we always have to be.

Serving Two Masters?

Serving Two Masters?

Politicians can serve the establishment, or the citizens, but not both.

Become A Hammer

Become A Hammer

Citizens must fight harder, even against their political heroes.

Two-Card Monte?

Two-Card Monte?

We’ve been hustled by the Elephants and Donkeys. It’s time to stop playing the games.

What Kind Of Zealot Are You?

Choosing A Side

Most politicians wait to pick sides in a fight until they can tell who is going to win.

Be Nice Or Else?

Be Nice Or Else?

The gooey, saccharine-sweet niceness demanded of us by politicians isn’t found anywhere in the Bible.

Building Our Monuments

Building Our Monuments

However exalted or self-important we may think we are, we all eventually become a footnote in the great story of history. The monuments to our greatest achievements will become dusty artifacts for future archeologists. Michael Quinn Sullivan looks at what it means to have a lasting impact.

Fake Jesus, Real Jesus

Fake Jesus, Real Jesus

On this week’s podcast, Michael Quinn Sullivan says the fake Jesus of the modern age tells what we want to hear while the real Jesus leads us where we need to be.
