Jesus declared, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” For centuries, those words have echoed through history — shaping nations, inspiring leaders, and defining America’s calling. From John Winthrop’s vision aboard the Arbella, to the Declaration of Independence, to Ronald Reagan’s shining city in the Cold War, America has stood as a beacon of hope in a dark world.

But a city on a hill can flicker — and if the light goes out here, where will the world turn? In this episode, we explore how biblical truth shaped America’s identity, why that vision still matters, and what it demands of us today. Along the way, we reflect on Erika Kirk’s powerful moment of forgiveness at her husband Charlie’s memorial — a living example of light overcoming darkness.

This is more than history. It’s a challenge. The eyes of all people are still upon us. Will America continue to shine?

In this solo episode of The United States of Grit, we dive into the words of Jesus from John 8:32 — “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

America was founded on truths — not opinions, not shifting political winds, but eternal truths rooted in God’s Word. We’ll explore how those biblical truths shaped our Founding Fathers, why nations that abandon truth collapse into tyranny, and why our generation must have the courage to defend truth at all costs.

This episode is also a dedication to the late Charlie Kirk, whose voice reminded millions that without truth, liberty dies. His courage was contagious — and now it’s our turn to stand.

Join me as we unpack Scripture, history, and the challenge facing America today: Will we remain a free people, or will we trade truth for lies?

When COVID mandates came down, Michelle Tanner didn’t just comply — she stood up, spoke out, and paid the price.

In this episode of The United States of Grit, Walker sits down with Michelle Tanner, a conservative city councilwoman from St. George, Utah, who lost her job for refusing to back down during the pandemic. She shares what it cost her, what she learned, and why she still believes in fighting for freedom at the local level.

We dig into her journey from nurse to public official, the battles behind closed doors, and what it really takes to hold the line when the pressure’s on.

This isn’t about politics. It’s about principle — and having the grit to live it out.
