Show notes

Recorded on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2026. Dr. Willy Rice, the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, on what our choices mean for our grandchildren and the millions of Christians he estimates may not vote, and Kevin McCullough with his Election Day read. Eric opens by saying why he believes not voting is a sin. Then Dr. Rice, pastor of Calvary Church in Clearwater, Florida, for 22 years, explains why he says pastors who stepped back from cultural issues to be more effective "lost our voice," and why he estimates around 30 million evangelicals may not vote. Eric recalls what Dietrich Bonhoeffer said about pastors outside the Confessing Church.Kevin McCullough, host of That KEVIN Show and a Townhall.com columnist, on the House and Senate seats in play, the races in Texas, Michigan, Florida, Ohio and New York, what he says doesn't change even if Republicans lose, and the early returns he's watching: South Carolina, Maine and Florida. Plus the three-word text he says he got from Erika Donalds that morning (Kevin's account).⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
