Greg welcomes Jonathan Jakubowski, Jeff Barefoot, and Francis Slazyk for a candid conversation about the choices before us in the 2026 election. Spanning three generations, they confront the frustration of imperfect candidates, the consequences of competing policies, and a question that reaches beyond party allegiance: Are we allowing our faith to form our political judgments—and accepting responsibility for what our votes help put into power?
The appeal of democratic socialism—and the economic frustration and cultural disillusionment drawing people toward it
Voting for imperfect candidates: weighing character, policy, practical consequences, and the greatest good possible
Ohio’s Ramaswamy–Acton contest: the panel examines competing positions on life, parental authority, education, taxation, and other consequential issues
Francis’s generational challenge: What happens when younger voters see neither party as worthy of their confidence?
Voting as love of neighbor—and the responsibility to hold elected representatives accountable afterward
Why political engagement must be accompanied by personal holiness, strong families, and care for the people closest to us
The final challenge: Before casting your ballot, bring your assumptions before God. Examine the candidates’ actual positions. Weigh the goods at stake. Ask whether truth, partisan habit, personal resentment, or the narratives you have absorbed are shaping your judgment—and take responsibility for your response.
CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Beneath the Ballot: The Roots of Our Republic | Part 2 — Bonus Conversation explores the convictions about truth, freedom, faith, and the human person beneath these immediate electoral choices.
Truth is a Person. Freedom is found in Him. Live IT. At the heart of IT all is God’s reminder: We Image the Trinity.
That’s the IT.
