About this episode

Sandy Rios joins Jenny Beth Martin to discuss her three decades of pro-life advocacy and current political events.

Sandy Rios — political commentator, author of God's Velvet Hammer, and host of Sandy Rios 24/7 — joins Jenny Beth Martin for a deeply personal conversation about three decades on the front lines of the fight for unborn life, religious liberty, and the soul of this country. Sandy shares the moment in 1973 Berlin that turned her into a lifelong pro-life advocate, the singing career that took her from rock and roll to contemporary Christian music in venues from Tokyo to the US Army band in Germany, and the call from God that put her at the head of Concerned Women for America just two weeks before September 11. This episode also tackles the news everyone is still processing: the third attempt on President Trump's life, the Comey indictment, Jimmy Kimmel's suspension after his remarks about Melania Trump, and the bar in Wisconsin offering a bounty on the President. Sandy and Jenny Beth talk about why Christians are called to confront, not coddle, and why the President's response after Saturday night is the model for every American who is tired but not yet finished.
