Everett Piper is a nationally recognized author, speaker, and thought leader on cultural and political issues, known for his unwavering stance on truth, courage, and conservative principles. He served as the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University for over a decade and gained national attention for his viral op-ed, This Is Not a Daycare, It’s a University, which later became a best-selling book. A frequent contributor to national media outlets, including The Washington Times 
and Fox News, Piper is a staunch advocate for academic freedom, biblical values, and intellectual honesty in an era of cultural capitulation. His books, speaking engagements, and commentaries challenge audiences to stand firm in their convictions while engaging in meaningful discourse.

In his second appearance on Courageous Crossroads, Everett Piper joins host Jeffrey L. Johnson for a deep dive into the nature of courage in today’s political and cultural climate. The conversation covers the recent presidential election, the intersection of courage and narcissism, and how political figures, including Donald Trump, demonstrate—or lack—true bravery. Piper also unpacks the dangers of capitulation in modern society, highlighting how groupthink erodes individual responsibility and moral clarity. The discussion extends to biblical convictions being reframed as political statements, with Piper providing a powerful critique of how scripture is often misused to push ideological agendas. This episode is a 
compelling call to action, urging listeners to get in the game, engage in tough conversations, and stand firm in truth—even when it costs them everything.
