The Courage of a Calling

By Bobbie Daniel | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Twelve years ago, I made my first trip to Washington, D.C. I was expecting my third child at the time, and as I walked through the memorials, the words carved in stone seemed to speak directly to me. At the Jefferson Memorial, I knew I wasn’t alone. At the Lincoln Memorial, I sensed the weight of a calling I couldn’t yet name.  Their words reached across centuries with clarity and conviction, and I remember thinking: people don’t talk like this anymore. Yet something in my soul stirred. God was preparing me, though I didn’t yet know for what. In scripture, the callings of ordinary people are always marked by courage. Moses had to confront Pharaoh with only a staff in his hand. Esther risked her life to plead for her pe...

Hancock: The beauty of balance between urgency, authority and the republic

By Michael A. Hancock | Commentary, Substack Reclaiming the Wisdom of a System Built for Both Crisis and Constraint One of the most brilliant features of the U.S. Constitution is its recognition of human nature—not just in its vices, but in its limitations. The framers didn’t just aim to prevent tyranny; they aimed to build a system that could govern well even though no institution—or person—is omniscient or omnipotent. It’s a humility baked into the structure. That’s why Congress makes the laws, and the President executes them—two separate powers working together. But what the Constitution also quietly acknowledges is that not every problem can be solved by committee. In a world where markets shift overnight, threats emerge in real time, and global actors often cheat the syste...

Beezley: July 4, 1776 was one perfect moment—for liberty and for mankind

By Don Beezley | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice After thousands of years of struggle through oppression and tyranny, there was one perfect moment in human history on a hot, summer day in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: July 4, 1776. On that date the Second American Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of the thirteen United States of America–the American Declaration of Independence.  The crowning achievement of the Enlightenment in a one-page document. The Declaration of Independence represents the one moment in history when we got it right. One perfect moment derived from a morally perfect vision. The words on that parchment may fade with time, but its immortal ideas amplify and reverberate through the annals of time: We hold these truths to be sel...

Hunt: Take pride in America this Fourth—and give thanks to God

By Jeff Hunt | Commentary, Substack As fireworks light up the night sky this Fourth of July, let’s do more than celebrate—we must recommit. Recommit to the truth that this nation, the United States of America, was not an accident of history but a divine blessing. Our rights were not granted by kings or bureaucrats. They were endowed by our Creator. And no matter how much the secular left tries to erase that truth, it still echoes from our founding documents and lives on in the hearts of patriotic Americans. It’s time to stop apologizing for loving this country. America is not just a place—it’s an idea. A God-given idea. That all men are created equal. That liberty is worth defending. That government’s power is limited because it answers to something higher. Our Founding Fathers ...

Dr. Krannawitter: The Declaration—not slogans—is our anti-king document

By Thomas L. Krannawitter, Ph.D. | Commentary, Substack The American Revolution launched the greatest anti-king and anti-slavery movements, at the same time, and for the same principled reasons. Let me see if I understand: Progressives who insist on “No Kings” demand presidents—and an entire federal government apparatus—be constrained by the Constitution progressives have spent decades mocking, undermining, and ignoring? And the same progressives who warn against monarchical power happily support millions of unelected, unionized bureaucrats issuing and enforcing their own “regulations” that have binding power of law over citizens, even though regulations are not laws? No Kings Remember, the United States was born out of a fiery rebellion against a king and a d...
