Welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show—a place to talk about the cultural and spiritual issues many people feel they can't discuss at work or church. While some avoid hard conversations, this show leans in. We don't just ask what's happening—we explore why it matters, what's being exposed, and how to respond with wisdom, truth, and clarity.

We're living in a deeply polarized moment—around borders, law enforcement, identity, faith, and freedom. And when pressure rises, it reveals what people truly believe.

Today, we examine two very different stories connected by one theme: authority—who has it, who resists it, and what happens when truth collides with ideology.

🔹 The war over border security hits home: ICE vs. Democrats and the broader implications for law, authority, and national identity.

🔹 Faith in the spotlight: The actor who plays Lucas on Stranger Things publicly recommits to following Christ—sparking intense reactions online. Is it revival, or are critics right to question motives?

Join the conversation as we unpack what's beneath the headlines and how believers can engage culture with courage, discernment, and grace.

Welcome to The Shawn Bolz Show. Today we're looking at two major stories that are shaping the direction of America—both geopolitically and culturally—and why they matter more than most people realize.

In our first segment, we examine what's happening in Venezuela and why it reaches far beyond its borders. Energy, corruption, freedom, and America's role on the global stage are colliding in ways that are quietly reshaping the geopolitical landscape. Recent developments have changed the conversation, and many haven't fully processed the implications yet.

In our second segment, we turn our attention back home to a significant cultural shift happening among young men in America. We're seeing a historic move toward conservatism—not driven by party loyalty, but by growing frustration with constant ideological messaging in entertainment, education, and everyday life.

I'll be reacting to a video from commentator Brett Cooper, who breaks down the data and cultural trends behind this shift—from sports and movies to video games and media. This isn't a fringe reaction. It's a measurable backlash that's already influencing politics, culture, and the future of media.

Today's goal isn't outrage—it's discernment. We're asking why these reactions are happening, what they reveal about the state of our culture, and how believers can think wisely, biblically, and clearly about this moment we're living in.
