‘In Our Weakness, God Is Strong’

November 27, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “‘In Our Weakness, God Is Strong'” on Spreaker.

Carmen Pate has been very active in ministry and in pro-life activism for many years. As you can hear in the podcast, she is a woman of passion and energy.

But in 2014, Carmen was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and, even after a bone marrow transplant, the cancer has relapsed multiple times.

But even as she battles for her life yet again, Carmen’s faith is an inspiration to many as she travels the halls of her Houston cancer ward encouraging and evangelizing other patients, their families, and the medical staff.

Following a 2018 relapse, Carmen turned her Facebook journal of her cancer fight and trust in God into a book entitled “In Our Weakness, God is Strong.”

In this uplifting podcast, Carmen tells Greg Corombos how her faith prepared her for this grueling health challenge, how she encourages others to prepare before a crisis hits them, and why she feels called to share her faith with those she meets.

What Conservatives Want to Keep, Part 1

October 9, 2019 by GregC

Listen to “What Conservatives Want to Keep, Part 1” on Spreaker.

Whether a member of the House or Senate, Jim DeMint was known as one of the most conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill. But what does it mean to be conservative? That’s what DeMint and colleague Rachel Bovard address in their new book “Conservative: What to Keep.”

In an interview with Greg Corombos, DeMint explains that conservative means keeping what works best for people.

“It’s keeping our covenants, keeping our faith. It’s keeping our differences, keeping our republic, which is the decentralized idea that our founders. (It also means) keeping our traditions and keeping our land of opportunities which is all about free market economics,” said DeMint.

Listen to the first part of the conversation in the this podcast as DeMint also discusses why progressives see religion as a threat to their political agenda, how politics is becoming a religion to many, and how to defend capitalism at a time when it is constantly labeled a system of greed and selfishness.

Conservatives Push ‘Better Deal for Black America’

June 7, 2018 by GregC

Black Americans can escape the cycle of failed schools, rampant poverty, and government dependence if America as a whole embraces the proven values that made our nation the envy of the world, according to a new report from the conservative Project 21 Black Leadership Network.

Entitled “Blueprint for a Better Deal for Black America,” the report offers 57 proposals in ten different policy areas that Project 21 believes would lead to a thriving U.S. and a resurgent black community.

The proposals range from taxes to criminal justice reform to relations between police and local communities, but education is central to the goal of lifting black families to stability and prosperity.

Statistics show just 38 percent of blacks earn a four-year college degree in six years, compared to 62 percent for whites, 63 percent for Asians and almost 46 percent for Hispanics.

Project 21 Co-Chair Horace Cooper says failing schools are not preparing many black students for college.

“What you’re seeing is a disproportionate number of graduates at these places can barely read the diploma that they’re given.  In 2017, six percent of black high school students who took the American College Testing exam (ACT) met the four benchmarks that were necessary for college readiness,” said Horace.

He points out only 35 percent of white students met those benchmarks, along with just under 50 percent of Asians.  Cooper that is an indictment of our public schools across the board.

“In Europe and much of Asia, they are insisting that their education system deliver for their young people.  In America, we’ve been much more interested in letting bureaucrats get cushy jobs and make sure that unions get the support that they need, rather than insisting we absolutely need our kids to be able to read the diploma that we hand them when we graduate,” said Cooper.

He says this is a crisis that must be addressed now.

“The main thing we’re trying to emphasize with this report is that there are certain strategies and policies that have the effect of hurting people who are working class and poor.  Minorities tend to be more disproportionately poor,” said Cooper.

“Our public school systems in too many inner cities are simply failing.  Black Americans are disproportionately enrolled in these failing schools,” he added.

Cooper says nothing has changed despite decades of poor results.

“Many of these cities refuse to incorporate ideas like competition, school choice, opportunities to let the faith community play a role.  And they often have a very hostile attitude about even parental involvement,” said Cooper.

And, in a toxic pattern, inner city students with a poor education see few options when they become adults.

“If you are not equipped to compete in the 21st century marketplace, you are going to suffer dramatically and you may end up feeling forced to pursue non-legal means of providing for yourself,” said Cooper, who says the other common alternative is to live off government assistance programs.

Cooper says local governments need to start threatening to decrease funding unless results improve, instead of throwing good money after bad in failing schools.

He also says America must again embrace the principles that made us the envy of the world.

“It started with the building blocks, family.  It started with faith, free markets, personal responsibility, limited government.  These attitudes, these strategies led to America’s success and they will lead to any group’s success,” said Cooper.

He says liberal intellectuals started gutting those principles and convincing millions of people to follow a different course.

“A bunch of seemingly smart people said we don’t need those things.  ‘Family?  That’s so yesterday.  We need Washington, D.C., bureaucrats to come in and dictate.  We need massive government.  Free markets can’t be trusted,'” said Cooper.

Cooper says Ronald Reagan proved twenty years later that the ethos of the 1960’s was wrong but the fight still goes on to return to the formula for American success.  Cooper is confident it’s not too late.

“If we do it again with intentionality, we can do it in America and end a lot of the poverty that we see,” said Cooper.
