Be a leader. Be a leader. Be a leader.

That’s how this episode of The Next Steps Show wraps up—and you’ll understand why once you listen.

In a world soaked in excuses, finger-pointing, and government overreach, Peter Vazquez brings a no-nonsense, unapologetically honest conversation to the table. From being a grandfather and the power of legacy, to the crisis of homelessness, to the empty promises of social reform, Peter lays it all out with clarity, conviction, and a firm foundation in faith.

What happens when leadership is traded for dependency? When victimhood becomes a virtue, and facts are drowned out by feelings? What happens when kids are told their future is predetermined by race, and adults are expected to surrender more freedom in the name of "safety"? We get what Peter calls the Van-bōōl-zal-ness Crisis of Modern Times—a culture duped by emotion, led by slogans, and robbed of common sense.

But this show isn’t just about diagnosing the problem, it’s about calling us back to truth. To rebuilding communities through real connection, not bloated bureaucracy. It’s about raising kids with values, not ideology. About replacing the tribalism of identity politics with solutions rooted in responsibility, faith, and discernment.

Peter also highlights a faith-fueled approach to tackling homelessness—servant leadership in action—and reminds us that impact doesn’t come from more government programs. It comes from people. From us. From you.

If you’re tired of being told what to think, if you’re hungry for a voice that cuts through the noise and calls things what they are—this episode is for you.

Listen now. Share it. And take the next step toward restoring the values that built this nation.
