Andrew Klavan’s appearance with Megyn Kelly — where he spoke plainly about coming to Jesus and the truth of the Bible — is exactly the kind of unapologetic faith testimony America needs right now. Klavan has been clear for years that he didn’t arrive at Christianity lightly; his intellectual pilgrimage from secular skepticism to a living faith is woven through his recent work and podcast conversations. This is not soft, private religion; it’s a robust, public conviction that dares to name objective truth when the culture insists everything is subjective.
Klavan’s latest books and interviews show a writer who read his way into belief — studying the Gospels, learning the language of the texts, and refusing the fashionable banality that says faith is merely sentimental. He connects the great works of Western literature to the centrality of Jesus and argues that art and storytelling point us back to moral realities that secular progressivism tries to erase. Conservatives should be thankful to have public intellectuals who take Scripture seriously and who can make a persuasive case that belief and reason are not enemies.
At the same time, watch what’s happening in New York City: the rise of Zohran Mamdani to mayor-elect status is a national warning about where unchecked progressive experiments lead. Mamdani ran explicitly as a democratic socialist with promises like rent freezes, free buses, universal childcare, and city-owned grocery stores — glossy, feel-good plans that mask real economic consequences and attacks on property rights. New Yorkers voted for radical fixes to deep problems, but the rest of America should pay attention to the recipe: more government, more control, and less freedom for families and small businesses.
These policy stunts are not theoretical. Rent freezes and municipal groceries inevitably distort markets, discourage investment, and turn honest housing into a political football where the winners are those who shout the loudest, not those who build and produce. Responsible conservatives who love cities and American prosperity should say so plainly: the cure for urban decline is not another layer of central planning. We should be skeptical of politicians who promise to buy votes with other people’s money and call it compassion.
The reaction to Mamdani’s victory is already telling: county leaders in surrounding suburbs are openly courting New Yorkers who feel betrayed by the incoming administration, pitching safer streets, better schools, and a firmer defense of property and religious liberty. That exodus whisper campaign shows that ordinary Americans are not eager to live under experiments that undermine family stability and economic freedom. If conservatives organize, highlight the failures of socialist promises, and offer better local options, there’s every reason to expect pushback to grow.
This is why Klavan’s testimony matters beyond private conviction: it’s a model of courage and clarity in public life. While the left insists that religion is merely a personal quirk, men like Klavan demonstrate that faith produces a moral imagination and a public ethic that defends the weak without shredding the institutions that protect liberty. We need more storytellers and thinkers who can translate religious truth into political virtue and who will not surrender the ground of reason to the secular radicals.
Conservatives — patriots who love God, family, and country — should take heart and act. Build coalitions of churches, small businesses, and civic leaders that protect neighborhoods, defend school choice, and stand for common-sense economics. Don’t cede moral authority to progressives who promise utopia while delivering chaos; instead, promote the restorative, time-tested ideas Klavan lifts up: truth, beauty, and the dignity of the human person.
If you want the country we love to endure, support voices of conviction and resist the siren songs of socialism in every city and town. Celebrate men like Andrew Klavan who came to Jesus and who use their gifts to defend biblical truth, and organize practically against experiments like the Mamdani playbook that would remake American life in ways that enrich ideology and impoverish virtue. The future belongs to those who will stand and fight for faith, family, and freedom.
