The Power of Your Vote: Why Young Adults Matter in Democracy
What does your vote really mean? In this episode, we break down why college students and young adults hold more influence than they realize. From local elections that shape tuition, housing, and safety, to national movements that shift the future of the country — your voice matters.
We’ll explore:
✅ Why youth turnout can swing elections
✅ How civic engagement goes beyond the ballot box
✅ Myths and barriers that stop students from voting — and how to overcome them
✅ Practical steps to get involved on campus and in your community
Along the way, we’ll hear wisdom from leaders like Thomas Jefferson, Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy, and more — reminding us that voting isn’t just a right, it’s a responsibility.
🎙️ Whether you’re voting for the first time or still wondering if your voice matters, this episode will show you that the future is in your hands.
👉 Call to Action: Don’t sit out. Register, show up, and use your vote. Because when young adults engage, we don’t just participate — we lead.

Why the Constitution Still Matters in 2025 | Freedom, Students & Families
Description:
In this episode of New England Next Gen, we dive into the U.S. Constitution — not as an old piece of paper, but as the living framework that still protects our freedoms today.
I’ll break down the parts of the Constitution (the Preamble, Articles, and Amendments), explain why it matters for college students in 2025, and share four powerful stories that bring it to life — from “We the People” to the fight for the Bill of Rights.
We’ll also explore how the Constitution impacts parents and families at home, hear wisdom from Aristotle and Thomas Sowell, and finish with an interactive activity you can do today to make the Constitution personal.
👉 What you’ll learn in this episode:
Why the Constitution was written and how it’s structured
How the Bill of Rights almost didn’t exist
Why free speech and privacy matter on campus
How the Constitution impacts adults, families, and communities today
Why Thomas Sowell warned that freedom must be understood to be protected
A simple activity you can do to connect your daily life to the Constitution
The Constitution isn’t just history. It’s a guide, a safeguard, and a call to responsibility. Students, parents, neighbors, friends — it’s up to we the people to carry it forward.
✨ Don’t just listen. Read it. Talk about it. Pass it on.

Agreeing to Disagree in a Divided World | Faith & Freedom Friday
Description:
In this Faith & Freedom Friday episode of New England Next Gen, we dive into one of the biggest challenges in our culture today: how to agree to disagree without tearing each other apart.
From political name-calling on social media to family arguments around the dinner table, it feels like disagreement always leads to division. But does it have to?
In this episode, we cover:
✅ Why social media fuels hate and how to rise above it
✅ How to communicate with love and respect (7-step framework)
✅ Why judging others for their beliefs only deepens division
✅ Historical lessons from Hamilton, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Mandela
✅ How faith calls us to live at peace and respond with love
✅ Why freedom means respecting the right to think differently
Key Verses:
Matthew 7:1 — “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.”
Romans 12:18 — “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”
Romans 12:21 — “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
Proverbs 15:1 — “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
✨ Faith teaches us to love. Freedom gives us space to disagree. Together, they remind us to build bridges instead of burning them.
👉 If you’ve ever wondered, “Can we still be friends if we disagree?” — this episode is for you.
