Summary

Every day, Stephen A. Smith’s presidential ambitions seem to grow bolder. But the real shocker? Conservative podcast host Megyn Kelly just welcomed the Stephen A. Myth onto her show. Why is the conservative media giving this man a platform? It should be obvious — he has no real insight, and even his own ESPN colleagues dismiss him as a clown, as revealed in a leaked audio clip from an ESPN producer. And yet, Kelly continues to praise the so-called straight shooter. Has the MAGA movement been completely duped? On the flip side, a revival is sweeping through college and professional sports — not of politics, but of Jesus. Haley Van Lith is leading TCU to its first-ever Sweet 16 while boldly giving all glory to God. Meanwhile, in the NFL, Baker Mayfield credits his faith for pulling him from rock bottom back to success. Jason reflects on his time in Kansas City writing for the Kansas City Star, sharing how God often meets us at our lowest to rebuild us in His image. Joining the show is a special guest, writer Steve Eubanks, to discuss this powerful resurgence of faith in young athletes. Could this signal a shift in the right direction for our nation?
