In this explosive Code Red interview, top attorney and Coffee & Covid founder Jeff Childers breaks down the FAST-MOVING reality behind President Trump's military action against Iran — the strikes that took out the Supreme Leader, crippled nuclear sites, and left the regime reeling. Why did corporate media act SURPRISED after a MONTH of Trump warnings? Is this "Venezuela Model" regime change — leader out, government stays, then REAL elections? Why is the entire world (Russia, China, even Gulf states) eerily SILENT? And how does massive fundraising ($1 TRILLION conservative war chest?), Epstein file drops timed for midterms, and congressional votes approving the action change EVERYTHING? Childers dismantles the "unconstitutional" claims, the MAGA "fracturing" narrative (it's FAKE — here's proof), anti-Israel voices in the movement, and why Democrats are in TOTAL disarray heading into midterms.

In this powerful episode of Code Red, Pastor Zach Terry sits down with evangelist Mark Witt of Following Our Father Ministry. Mark shares the heartbreaking story of losing his godly father in a tragic hunting accident on the last day of deer season when Mark was just 12 years old. What began as years of bitterness toward God transformed into one of the most remarkable redemption stories.Through this pain, Mark and his brother Dan have seen countless people — including pastors, deacons, Sunday school teachers, prisoners, and everyday "rednecks" at wild game dinners — come to genuine faith in Jesus. Mark unpacks forgiveness, the reality of heaven and hell, why so many in church may be "missing heaven by 18 inches" (head knowledge vs. heart trust), and how God turns tragedy into eternal impact. This conversation will challenge you to examine your own eternity and encourage you to share the gospel boldly. If you've lost a father, struggled with unforgiveness, or wondered if God can use real pain for good — this is for you.

They unpack the political chess moves behind the file releases, debate who could face prosecution, and explore what must change culturally to prevent something like this from ever happening again. Plus, Zach pitches a bold local idea inspired by the Lincoln-era Lyceum movement to revive civic debate and education in communities across America.

From Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard to Willie Nelson and Sturgill Simpson, Dylan shares the untold stories, surprising legacies, and hard-won lessons that shaped the sound of American grit.

SUICIDE. ABUSE. SHAME. ADDICTION. What if one voice could break through all of it? On this fiery episode of Code Red Talk with Zach Terry, we sit down with Dean Sikes—evangelist, school assembly speaker, and founder of www.youmatter.us —who has reached over 4,200 stages and spoken into the lives of millions of students across America’s public schools, detention centers, and even death row. Hear how God used one broken life to spark a national movement of HOPE. From sexual abuse at 15 to nearly entering politics... to encountering Jesus in a hospital hallway From lying his way through life to becoming a truth-teller in school assemblies nationwide. From silence to a prophetic voice calling a generation back from the edge of suicide. Dean gets real about trauma, therapy, forgiveness, fake Christianity, and how social media is discipling your kids more than the church. This is an urgent call for parents, pastors, and culture warriors. WATCH if you want to understand the battle our teens are facing. STAY if you believe no one is too far gone. SHARE if you're ready to bring the hope of Jesus to the frontlines.

His father decided to call him "Cole" after Cole Trickle, Tom Cruise’s character in Days of Thunder. “Cole Terry, so you can be a NASCAR driver… or a country music singer.” He spent most of his childhood in Athens, AL. One day, at 6 years old, Cole’s dad introduced him to a man named Jesus. “The trajectory of my life shifted dramatically that day; because of the grace I have been shown, and the love with which He has loved me, I live to glorify Him.” Cole first picked up a guitar when he arrived on Amelia Island at age 14. He learned how to sing and wrote his first song not long after, and he found himself on a beach bar stage for the first time at age 16. At age 17, he packed his bags and headed off for the University of Florida to obtain a degree in Political Science. At age 21, after having released 10 songs as an independent artist and while interning in Washington, DC for a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Cole Terry signed with New York-based Santa Anna Records. Cole is scheduled to graduate in August of 2025, after which he plans to pack his bags once again and set up shop in Nashville, TN to chase down whatever God’s plan might have in store for him there.
