The American Bible Challenge host Jeff Foxworthy plays ‘Christ or Klingon?’

Legendary comedian Jeff Foxworthy stopped by the program today to talk about the upcoming season of his runaway hit show The American Bible Challenge and some of the hilarious new segments added this year. One of the most promising is ‘Christ or Klingon,’ in which contestants must determine if something is from the Bible or from the Star Trek ‘Klingon’ language. Surprisingly, it’s actually harder than you might think.

“The one and only Jeff Foxworthy is with us now, host of the American Bible Challenge,” Glenn said. “My family and I watched this… And we love it. We really love it. [It’s] something the whole family can watch together and enjoy.”

The American Bible Challenge has been a huge success for GSN, which is a non faith-based network. The game show is the highest rated original series in the history of the network and proves that there is a strong and devoted audience for family-friendly programming.

The third season is set to kick off Thursday, May 22, and with a new season comes a new set of categories. Perhaps the most intriguing is ‘Christ or Klingon,’ which asks competitors to identify a something as being from the Bible or from Star Trek.

“I love this new category,” Glenn said. “Christ or Klingon.”

“You know what, we try to keep these things fun. And so one of the writers came up with this thing,” Jeff said. “Of course, I’ve got this accent. And if you ever saw my note cards, it's just phonetic pronunciations of these Old Testament names. So I'm always butchering them. One of the new categories is ‘Christ or Klingon,’ and they have to tell us if it's from the Bible or the Star Trek movies… My first thought was ‘Well, that's not going to work.’ But it's so much harder than you think it is. You hear this name and you have no idea whether that it is somebody's name in the Book of Ruth or if it's from Star Trek.”

Part of what makes the show so fun is the contestants that partake. Jeff explained that finding great participants who differ from some of the preconceived notions of religious people was really important.

“That was a real deliberate thing. I wanted it to be from day one, if you were on the outside and you had this preconceived notion what people of faith look like, we wanted to blow that out of the water,” he explained. “And so on this show, you'll have nuns playing next to tattoo artists playing next to rodeo cowboys and women from the roller derby. We've had Jewish priests on. We have had a team of Mormon moms. And yeah, we just wanted to blow up all those stereotypes.”

The success of The American Bible Challenge has really proven how mainstream well-produced faith-based programming can be. Glenn believes that speaks to a larger movement in this country, in which values and principles are once again in vogue and people from all sides of the political spectrum are coming together.

“I think you're right. One of the things I always told my kids is: I don't know anybody that's self-focused that's a happy person. And the people that get the fullness out of life are people who are other-focused. I think that's coming around… And I do think in the end, goodness always wins,” Jeff said. “And I think that's why this show works. You know, it shows people, who aren't getting anything out of it themselves, just people that kind of realize, ‘Hey, I am deeply loved and because of that – the outpouring of that is: I'm going to turn around and love others.’ That is a full life. And I think that's what Christ was talking about when he said, ‘I come so that they may have life.’ It's not just talking about Heaven after you die. It's talking about now, getting the most out of life.”

The West is dying—Will we let enemies write our ending?

The blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, and soldiers built our civilization. Their sacrifice demands courage in the present to preserve it.

Lamentations asks, “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?”

That question has been weighing on me heavily. Not just as a broadcaster, but as a citizen, a father, a husband, a believer. It is a question that every person who cares about this nation, this culture, and this civilization must confront: Is all of this worth saving?

We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.

Western civilization — a project born in Judea, refined in Athens, tested in Rome, reawakened in Wittenberg, and baptized again on the shores of Plymouth Rock — is a gift. We didn’t earn it. We didn’t purchase it. We were handed it. And now, we must ask ourselves: Do we even want it?

Across Europe, streets are restless. Not merely with protests, but with ancient, festering hatred — the kind that once marched under swastikas and fueled ovens. Today, it marches under banners of peace while chanting calls for genocide. Violence and division crack societies open. Here in America, it’s left against right, flesh against spirit, neighbor against neighbor.

Truth struggles to find a home. Even the church is slumbering — or worse, collaborating.

Our society tells us that everything must be reset: tradition, marriage, gender, faith, even love. The only sin left is believing in absolute truth. Screens replace Scripture. Entertainment replaces education. Pleasure replaces purpose. Our children are confused, medicated, addicted, fatherless, suicidal. Universities mock virtue. Congress is indifferent. Media programs rather than informs. Schools recondition rather than educate.

Is this worth saving? If not, we should stop fighting and throw up our hands. But if it is, then we must act — and we must act now.

The West: An idea worth saving

What is the West? It’s not a location, race, flag, or a particular constitution. The West is an idea — an idea that man is made in the image of God, that liberty comes from responsibility, not government; that truth exists; that evil exists; and that courage is required every day. The West teaches that education, reason, and revelation walk hand in hand. Beauty matters. Kindness matters. Empathy matters. Sacrifice is holy. Justice is blind. Mercy is near.

We have squandered this inheritance. We forgot who we were — and our enemies are eager to write our ending.

If not now, when? If not us, who? If this is worth saving, we must know why. Western civilization is worth dying for, worth living for, worth defending. It was built on the blood of martyrs, prophets, poets, pilgrims, moms, dads, and soldiers. They did not die for markets, pronouns, surveillance, or currency. They died for something higher, something bigger.

Yet hope remains. Resurrection is real — not only in the tomb outside Jerusalem, but in the bones of any individual or group that returns to truth, honor, and God. It is never too late to return to family, community, accountability, and responsibility.

Pick up your torch

We were chosen for this time. We were made for a moment like this. The events unfolding in Europe and South Korea, the unrest and moral collapse, will all come down to us. Somewhere inside, we know we were called to carry this fire.

We are not called to win. We are called to stand. To hold the torch. To ask ourselves, every day: Is it worth standing? Is it worth saving?

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Pick up your torch. If you choose to carry it, buckle up. The work is only beginning.

Stop coasting: How self-education can save America’s future

Coasting through life is no longer an option. Charlie Kirk’s pursuit of knowledge challenges all of us to learn, act, and grow every day.

Last year, my wife and I made a commitment: to stop coasting, to learn something new every day, and to grow — not just spiritually, but intellectually. Charlie Kirk’s tragic death crystallized that resolve. It forced a hard look in the mirror, revealing how much I had coasted in both my spiritual and educational life. Coasting implies going downhill. You can’t coast uphill.

Last night, my wife and I re-engaged. We enrolled in Hillsdale College’s free online courses, inspired by the fact that Charlie had done the same. He had quietly completed around 30 courses before I even knew, mastering the classics, civics, and the foundations of liberty. Watching his relentless pursuit of knowledge reminded me that growth never stops, no matter your age.

The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures.

This lesson is particularly urgent for two groups: young adults stepping into the world and those who may have settled into complacency. Learning is life. Stop learning, and you start dying. To young adults, especially, the college promise has become a trap. Twelve years of K-12 education now leave graduates unprepared for life. Only 35% of seniors are proficient in reading, and just 22% in math. They are asked to bet $100,000 or more for four years of college that will often leave them underemployed and deeply indebted.

Degrees in many “new” fields now carry negative returns. Parents who have already sacrificed for public education find themselves on the hook again, paying for a system that often fails to deliver.

This is one of the reasons why Charlie often described college as a “scam.” Debt accumulates, wages are not what students were promised, doors remain closed, and many are tempted to throw more time and money after a system that won’t yield results. Graduate school, in many cases, compounds the problem. The education system has become a factory of despair, teaching cynicism rather than knowledge and virtue.

Reclaiming educational agency

Yet the solution is not radical revolt against education — it is empowerment to reclaim agency over one’s education. Independent learning, self-guided study, and disciplined curiosity are the modern “Napster moment.” Just as Napster broke the old record industry by digitizing music, the internet has placed knowledge directly in the hands of the individual. Artists like Taylor Swift now thrive outside traditional gatekeepers. Likewise, students and lifelong learners can reclaim intellectual freedom outside of the ivory towers.

Each individual possesses the ability to think, create, and act. This is the power God grants to every human being. Knowledge, faith, and personal responsibility are inseparable. Learning is not a commodity to buy with tuition; it is a birthright to claim with effort.

Charlie Kirk’s life reminds us that self-education is an act of defiance and empowerment. In his pursuit of knowledge, in his engagement with civics and philosophy, he exemplified the principle that liberty depends on informed, capable citizens. We honor him best by taking up that mantle — by learning relentlessly, thinking critically, and refusing to surrender our minds to a system that profits from ignorance.

The path forward must be reclaiming education, agency, and the power to shape our minds and futures. Every day, seek to grow, create, and act. Charlie showed the way. It is now our responsibility to follow.

Glenn's daughter honors Charlie Kirk with emotional tribute song

On September 17th, Glenn commemorated his late friend Charlie Kirk by hosting The Charlie Kirk Show Podcast, where he celebrated and remembered the life of a remarkable young man.

During the broadcast, Glenn shared an emotional new song performed by his daughter, Cheyenne, who was standing only feet away from Charlie when he was assassinated. The song, titled "We Are One," has been dedicated to Charlie Kirk as a tribute and was written and co-performed by David Osmond, son of Alan Osmond, founding member of The Osmonds.

Glenn first asked David Osmond to write "We Are One" in 2018, as he predicted that dark days were on the horizon, but he never imagined that it would be sung by his daughter in honor of Charlie Kirk. The Lord works in mysterious ways; could there have been a more fitting song to honor such a brave man?

"We Are One" is available for download or listening on Spotify HERE
