PODCAST

HOST: TINA YEAGER

Is American freedom connected with faith? How do we need to protect our rights?

Host Tina Yeager sits down with Coach Joe Kennedy, a former Marine and high school football coach whose bold stance for religious liberty led him all the way to the Supreme Court. Joe shares the story behind his landmark case, revealing how a simple act of giving thanks through prayer after football games grew into a nationwide discussion about freedom of speech and religious rights in America.

Together, Tina and Joe explore the deep connections between American faith and freedom, the personal and legal battles Joe endured, and the broader implications for every citizen—regardless of their beliefs. You’ll hear firsthand about the costs of standing up for constitutional rights, the spiritual battles that come with it, and Joe’s passionate commitment to mentoring the next generation. Whether you’re a person of faith or simply concerned about our fundamental rights, this episode will inspire you to cherish and champion the hard-won freedoms we all share.

Joe shares his powerful story—one that began with a simple 15-second prayer on the football field and grew into an eight-year legal journey, costing him his job, impacting his family life, and requiring steadfast perseverance.

Stay tuned as Coach Joe Kennedy also discusses practical ways to get involved, the ongoing work of Coral Ridge Ministries, and how you too can be a light in your community.

  • The personal cost and significance of standing up for your beliefs—Joe reminds us that “freedom isn’t free.”
