Summary
In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon delivers a clear, Scripture-grounded evaluation of the top news impacting Christians over the past two weeks.
He breaks down the big progressive wins in New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani-endorsed candidates Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, and Darializa Avila Chevalier swept their Democratic congressional primaries — ousting establishment incumbents in a significant shift for the left.
Jon also explores how NAPARC churches are addressing issues of race and ethnicity, provides a recap of the recent PCA General Assembly, major Supreme Court wins for the Trump Administration, J.D. Hall’s interview with Tucker Carlson on Christian Zionism, standout moments from The Jeremy Boreing Show, and more.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Conversations That Matter podcast. I'm your host, John Harris, where we are crafting a positive Christian vision for America. I am here to clarify, to be helpful, to dispel myths, and to answer any objections, questions, and cries of outrage today. On this Saturday afternoon, there's a lot of other things you could be doing. |
| 0:21.6 | But some of you, as I see right now, the channel is growing, are entering the channel to stream |
| 0:27.6 | the Conversations That Matter podcast. |
| 0:29.6 | I'm thankful for you if you want to support the podcast. |
| 0:32.6 | Obviously, prayers are appreciated. |
| 0:34.6 | You can also, though, go to probably the best place would be patreon.com |
| 0:39.3 | forward slash John Harris podcast or just go to my website, john harrismedia.com. There's been a lot |
| 0:46.1 | going on the last two weeks and that is the reason I have not been able to do a podcast. I was at |
| 0:51.0 | the Southern Baptist Convention and then I went to a conference in the state of Washington, |
| 0:55.6 | and I flew home, and I've been working on this album. |
| 0:58.5 | By the way, big announcement on that. |
| 1:00.5 | The album is set to come out July 4th. |
| 1:02.8 | We're working through the night tirelessly to get you an album on American Heritage. |
| 1:08.9 | I think I'm going to just call it Heritage, actually. |
| 1:10.9 | I've been in consternation over what I'm gonna call this album, |
| 1:14.2 | but the songs are about heritage and what it means to be an American, |
| 1:18.6 | some of my own experiences growing up and living in this country. |
| 1:21.9 | And there's some Christian themed things in there as well |
| 1:25.2 | that I think you'll appreciate that will bless you. So you can go to John Harris Tunes and keep checking that. And I'll have all the information there for downloading and we'll have some CDs available. If you're the kind of person that still does CDs, I don't know how many people do CDs. You have to be really special to get a record, though. I had one person last year reach out to me. I think it was just one who said, hey, I want this on vinyl. And I was like, we could do that. So it is available. I can make it available for vinyl if you want it. But we're going to do digital and CD obviously. And check that out. Go just keep hitting refresh. Just if you're a real patriot, it'll just keep hitting refresh just you know if you're |
| 2:01.3 | real patriot it'll keep hitting refresh it'll probably be up there I'm thinking |
