Politics By Faith w/Mike Slater

The British have been conquered. But before they were conquered, they abandoned their identity themselves. They did not "take care" as Moses said in Deuteronomy. Are we going to lose our past and be taken over just the same? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Christian apologist Neil Shenvi joins Mike Slater to expose the dangers of 'wokeness' and how its ideology—rooted in critical theory, identity politics, and social justice narratives—directly contradicts core biblical truths. Using Scripture as his foundation, Shenvi dismantles woke assumptions about sin, oppression, forgiveness, human identity, and redemption, showing why the gospel provides the only true path to justice and unity in Christ.

Stephen C. Meyer dives into his influential book Return of the God Hypothesis, arguing that groundbreaking discoveries in cosmology, physics, and biology—such as the universe's origin, fine-tuning for life, and the coded information in DNA—provide strong scientific evidence for a purposeful intelligent designer rather than purely materialistic explanations. Meyer challenges the notion that science and faith are inherently at odds, showing how modern evidence is actually reviving the God hypothesis as the most reasonable inference from the data. This discussion ties directly into the themes of the upcoming documentary The Story of Everything, offering viewers a clear, thought-provoking case for why science may be pointing back to a divine mind behind it all.

The President launched his "Shield of the Americas" union to fight the drug cartels in our hemisphere. This is a righteous project that needs to be celebrated.
