Charlie is back at Freedom Night in America, LIVE from Dream City Christian Church in Phoenix, AZ for the first time in five weeks, and fills the audience in on his experience becoming a father as he and wife, Erika welcomed their daughter into the world. Charlie explains why they decided to keep the experience private, and what becoming a father has meant to him, and how it has changed his perspective on why and how he intends to fight for the future of America. Next up, Charlie welcomes TPUSA host of "Frontlines," Drew Hernandez, to interview one of the most prolific Christian music artists of the last few decades, John Cooper of Skillet as they confront woke Christianity. While John was always a Christian, something happened about 10 years ago when John became "deathly" serious about the Bible and what it actually had to say. John and Drew confront weak, wimpy, and woke Christianity, both in the church at large, but also within the Christian music industry, and issue a clarion call to believers everywhere to pick up the scriptures and actually take seriously what it calls us to do.
