2025 Annual Report
As we conclude 2025, we’re excited to share just how far we’ve come—and where we’re headed. At Emergent Order Foundation, our mission remains as urgent as ever: to tell heroic stories that inspire trust, elevate truth, and advance human flourishing.
Watch our video message from Founder and CEO, John Papola, below.
THIS YEAR MARKS A TURNING POINT
We’ve moved from momentum to movement. What started with the documentary seeds of Dad Saves America in 2020 has grown into a studio that’s capturing attention and transforming lives.
We’ve seen that trust is not just an outcome—it’s a strategy. That’s why every video, every fellowship, and every partnership is grounded in the belief that truth told well can reach hearts and change culture.
DIRECT IMPACT
“I put my baby into daycare at one year old for him to “socialize.” I felt it was wrong (again, our society is pressuring us not to listen to our own intuition). Your videos helped me decide, and I took him out after two days. Now he is at home with us and his auntie is taking care of him.
Thank you so much for your work! I hope your message will be heard by many and that the policies change, allowing parents to care for their children as long as they need!”
— Marina, Dad Saves America Fan and Devoted Mother

What People Are Saying
I shared this with my debate team. It has some great points we can use in our next competition.
I’ve been watching your YouTube channel and it’s really incredible, especially for someone like myself who was raised without a father.
I have more hope for the country listening ot his podcast, than I have had in a long time.
John, you sir, are probably the most sane person talking today. God love you bro.
I’ve been following you since the Keynes versus Hayek video. Your reach is far bigger than you numbers. Thank you for the balls to be covering these important topics. From another dad in MN.
This video has changed my approach to teaching. I'm incorporating these ideas into my curriculum.
Love you dad saves America!! God bless your work and all that you do. Giving us Gen Z hope that we have power in being responsible and moral citizens.
I’m a 33 year old single mother. I’ve grown to greatly appreciate your videos. You do such a profound job in articulating everything I sense is going on politically.
Reach out!
Thank you for helping us tell better stories. I’d love to schedule a call to tell you what your support has made possible.
