Shutdowns, Silence, and Sacrifice: What America Forgot This Week | The Kirk Cameron Show Ep 78

Every church has two kinds of Christians: the self-reliant striver and the surrendered believer. Both pray, both read Scripture, both feel guilt… but only one experiences real, lasting transformation. In today’s devotional, Kirk reveals why “I’ll fix myself” faith always ends in exhaustion — and why true freedom begins with “God, I can’t—help me.” If you feel stuck in cycles of sin, guilt, or burnout, this episode will reshape how you think about confession, repentance, and grace.

This week’s wrap-up dives into four major headlines you cannot ignore — from the heartbreaking rise of medical experiments on kids, to Trump’s bold claim that federal income tax could disappear, to the college-debt machine trapping young adults, to an unbelievable survival story that reveals God’s presence in our darkest storms. Kirk connects the dots to show the spiritual assault behind the chaos — and how believers can stand firm with clarity, courage, and hope. Plus: rapid-fire reactions to viral videos on gender, abortion, Jesus’ divinity, and more.

Ever feel like you’re climbing a mountain you were never strong enough to climb? In today’s Coffee Devotional, Kirk breaks down why the pressure to be perfect was never meant to be on your shoulders and what it really means to enter the “low door” of humility, repentance, and faith. Discover the freeing truth of the gospel: the life we couldn’t live, Jesus lived for us; the death we deserved, He died for us; and the life we need, He freely gives. If you’re tired of striving, trying to be “good enough,” or carrying the weight of fixing yourself, this devotional will remind you where real hope and rest are found. Stay for the mailbag at the end, where Kirk answers your questions on prodigal kids, giving and tithing, taking up your cross, the Crusades, the death penalty, and whether watching the news helps or hurts your spiritual life.

This week’s wrap-up is wild—in the best way. From Riley Gaines standing firm in truth, to a president dismantling a federal agency no one else dared touch, to the strangest five days in America (shopping frenzies, protests, generosity, and yes… turkey pardons). But beneath it all is one message: culture doesn’t get the last word—faith, family, truth, and courage do. We’ll break down the media firestorm around Riley Gaines, the federal shake-up that could reshape education forever, and why generosity might be America’s quiet superpower this season. Plus, join me and Chelsea in the 100,000 Strong Christmas Initiative—a movement to raise $1M for 12 incredible charities by Christmas morning.
