On November 24, something both familiar and brand new will take place across the airwaves of America. “That KEVIN Show” will expand its reach to include more than 210 new affiliates—stations that for years carried my friend and colleague Eric Metaxas—adding them to the 300-station network already sharing my weekend broadcast. It’s the largest platform I’ve ever been entrusted with. And I feel the weight of it deeply.
This moment isn’t about triumph. It’s about stewardship.
When I first stepped behind a microphone as a teenager in Dallas, I never imagined God would one day allow me to speak daily to millions of Americans. Yet here we are—at a time when truth is more fragile, faith more mocked, and hope more desperately needed than at any other point in my lifetime. The headlines may scream chaos, but my heart says clarity.
The death of Charlie Kirk—one of the most fearless communicators of truth I’ve ever known—has reshaped how I see everything I do. Charlie’s courage was infectious. His message was uncompromising. And his willingness to give everything he had—even his life—for the truth he believed in, demands that those of us who remain pick up the torch and run harder, faster, and brighter.
If Charlie can give his life for the message, then the least I can do is give my life to carry it forward.
I have no interest in fame. None. The attention, the perception of power, or the applause that may come with this platform—none of that draws me. What compels me is the call to tell the truth, to share the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with every person in this country who lacks the confidence and peace that only He can give.
I want a kinder world—but not one that confuses kindness with compromise. True kindness speaks truth even when it costs something. Real compassion shines light where darkness has settled in. Our culture doesn’t need more soothing lies—it needs healing truth. Blind souls need light to find the way, and right now, America’s cultural gatekeepers seem obsessed with snuffing that light out.
Anti-Semitism is rising. Anti-Christian bigotry is being mainstreamed. The very notion of what it means to love our country is mocked. And in the latest elections, the politics of hate and hopelessness just won bigger stages in cities and states that have forgotten what made America good in the first place.
So the question becomes: who will speak light into this moment if we don’t?
As for me, I’m not backing away.
I will be unrelentingly honest—even when it stings.
I will be unrelentingly optimistic—even when the news tempts despair.
I will be humbly grateful for every good thing that happens, large or small.
And when our nation turns its face away from what is right, I will seek the face of a sovereign God who still holds us in His hand.
I will speak to anyone and everyone. If you disagree with me, you move to the front of the line. I’ve always believed truth sharpens best when tested by disagreement, not coddled by echo chambers.
This expansion is not the finish line—it’s the starting line for a deeper, longer, wiser journey. My prayer is that it helps all of us grow in that most endangered of virtues: wisdom.

Over the years, I’ve interviewed presidents and paupers, power brokers and the powerless. But my favorite conversations are always with you—the everyday Americans who still believe in decency, who love this country, who wrestle with hard questions, and who refuse to give up hope.
I am deeply grateful to Salem Media, to Phil Boyce, Dave Santrella, and the entire Salem NYC team. Salem has always been a home for those who believe ideas matter, faith matters, and freedom matters. It remains one of the most trusted networks in America’s ongoing conversation about who we are and where we’re headed.
My colleague Larry Elder likes to remind us: “We’ve got a country to save.”
I don’t disagree—not one bit. For as long as we can, we must keep speaking truth into the storm.
But if I may add something of my own—something not really mine, but borrowed from a thief who hung beside Jesus on the most important day in human history—it’s this:
We’ve got good news to tell.
That thief, condemned and broken, looked to Jesus and found mercy. That’s the message that changed the world, and it’s still changing lives today. It’s the message that makes the airwaves worth fighting for, the message that makes the microphone sacred, the message that turns broadcasting into ministry.
So, yes—on November 24, we’ll add stations, expand markets, and reach millions more. But the mission stays the same: speak truth, show love, and tell the Good News.
And if you’ll join me on that journey, I believe—truly—that we’ll see not just a revived nation, but a redeemed one.
Because light, once unleashed, cannot be contained.
And America still needs a little light.
