Faith in Action — Watch CURE America

Welcome to CURE America, hosted by Donald T. Eason, president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE). This week’s Faith in Action episode delivers a compelling dive into faith, policy, and culture. Eason shares insights from his recent trip to Israel, where President Isaac Herzog declared, “This land is ours, a sacred gift,” emphasizing Israel’s spiritual importance and inclusivity.

The show dynamic panel includes Kristen A. Ullman, JD (Eagle Forum President), Jonathan Alexandre (Liberty Counsel Vice President), and Marty Dannenfelser (CURE Vice President). Their discussion explores President Trump’s trade negotiations with over 70 nations, strategies to lower interest rates, and a 2025 budget focused on national defense, secure borders, and tax relief.

The panel debunks myths about federal spending “cuts,” clarifying they represent controlled growth, and highlights the economic benefits of reducing illegal immigration and empowering states through block grants.

In a powerful interview, Dr. OJ Oleka, CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation, shares his family’s journey from Nigerian immigrants in 1980 to achieving the American Dream through faith, perseverance, and education. He advocates for financial literacy, school choice, and tithing, citing Malachi’s promise that trusting God with tithes brings abundant provision, and invites viewers to explore state-led financial resources at sfof.com.

The episode concludes with a spirited panel debate on a Supreme Court case challenging Maryland’s mandatory LGBTQ curriculum for young students, which denies parental opt-outs. Analyzing materials like Pride Puppy, the panel critiques the curriculum’s ideological slant, its impact on young children, and the erosion of parental rights, noting the diverse coalition of plaintiffs (Christian, Muslim, Ethiopian Orthodox) standing together. They urge viewers to support school choice, demand opt-out protections, and contact Congress in this faith-driven mission.
