House Speaker Mike Johnson sits down with Raymond Arroyo in this exclusive Arroyo Grande interview to discuss the ongoing government shutdown, his faith under pressure, and what it will take to break Washington’s gridlock. Johnson reflects on his unlikely rise to the speakership, his conversations with President Trump, and how faith and family sustain him amid political chaos. He also shares deeply personal stories—from his father’s heroism as a firefighter to his covenant marriage and the spiritual grounding that shapes his leadership.

Later in the episode, Raymond welcomes Gerry and Karen Frigon of Taylor Frigon Capital Management to explore how faith, family, and finance intersect in today’s turbulent economy. They discuss long-term investing, cryptocurrency, and how values-based stewardship can build both wealth and peace of mind.

Watch now for an unfiltered, faith-filled conversation on politics, purpose, and principles.
