Faith, Freedom, and Florida: Suffering, Speech, AI, and the Headlines Shaping Our World

Tuesday, December 16, 2025

On today’s program, we welcome guests Clay & Jean E. Jones to discuss their powerful new book, HOW DOES GOD USE SUFFERING FOR OUR GOOD, exploring how pain, trials, and hardship can serve a deeper purpose and shape faith, resilience, and hope. We also dive into major political and policy developments, including Governor Ron DeSantis’ decision to ignore a Trump-era executive order that would prohibit state-level AI safeguards, raising fresh questions about federal authority, technology oversight, and states’ rights. The conversation continues with analysis of whether the President went too far with a controversial Rob Reiner post, examining the balance between free speech, political rhetoric, and leadership responsibility. Plus, important news for employers and workers alike as Florida considers requiring all businesses to use E-Verify for hiring, potentially reshaping the state’s workforce and compliance landscape. We’ll also highlight a piece of American history with the release of the 250th U.S. Anniversary Florida license plate, now available to drivers, and wrap up with the latest local and world news you need to know. Insightful, timely, and wide-ranging, this episode brings faith, policy, and current events together in one compelling discussion.
