And the Christian should know from God's Word that sinful ideas come from unregenerate minds. Romans 8 says, “the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:7-8).The depravity and death we see all around us in our culture, particularly millions of aborted babies, all manner of sexual and gender perversion, and suicide and euthanasia, are the direct result of ideas from minds that hate God and His truth and design.As shown in a new documentary film titled The 1916 Project by executive producer Seth Gruber, the wicked lineage of this God-forsaking worldview in America is built block by block upon well-known names like evolutionist Charles Darwin, abortionist Margaret Sanger, and pervert Alfred Kinsey and many other lesser known influencers like Thomas Malthus, Francis Galton, Havelock Ellis, and Emma Goldman.Gruber reveals how these men and women are the reason why abortion today is seen as “My body, my choice,” “love is love,” “gender is fluid,” and “children need to explore their sexuality at the youngest ages.”Seth Gruber joins us today on The Christian Worldview to discuss Margaret Sanger and the History of the Death and Depravity Revolution in light of The 1916 Project documentary film.-------------------Order The 1916 Project DVD

Send us a textGUEST: BRAD KLASSEN, professor and teacher, Men of the WordYou've heard about “the war on men”. In fact, Owen Strachan, author of a book by that title was interviewed on The Christian Worldview on Nov. 18, 2023.Owen described how our society seeks to emasculate men in order to stamp out what they call “toxic masculinity”. At a more fundamental level, what animates this war is a rejection of God and his design and role for men. Instead of being the leaders, cultivators, and protectors God designed, men become passive, weak, and cowardly.The way back from this morass isn't as superficial as an in-your-face dressing-down by a drill sergeant or calls from the social media “manosphere” to “man up”. Nor is it as simple as engaging in manly things, like operating a chain saw or pumping iron in the gym.Our guest this weekend, Brad Klassen, Professor of Bible Exposition at The Master's Seminary and teacher of Grace Community Church's men's group “Men of the Word”, will explain how reclaiming Biblical manhood starts inside the mind and the heart.For when a man's mind is renewed according to Scripture (i.e. Romans 12:1-2) and when he is fueled by a love for God over himself and over the things of the world, God does a transforming work to make a man what He designed him to be.TEACHING SERIES with Brad KlassenThe Christian Mind seriesSearching for Significance series

Send us a textGUEST: Dr. Joel Beeke, Pastor and Author, How to Lead Your FamilyFrom the very beginning, God established husbands and fathers to be leaders in their homes. This is to be a self-sacrificing and love-filled leadership, just as Christ loved and sacrificed for His bride, the church, the body of believers.As we approach Father's Day, what more important message can a husband and father hear than to fully embrace his call to lead his family for God's glory? This doesn't just mean rearing his children but shepherding his wife as well.Joel Beeke, former president and now chancellor of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and longtime pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, joins us this weekend to discuss his helpful new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide for Men Wanting to Be More.The notable framework that Dr. Beeke sets forth in the book is that Christian husbands and fathers share in a limited way Christ's three offices of prophet, priest, and king. Joel will explain how this should play out in the home, as the husband and father loves and leads his wife and children.There is much biblical and practical wisdom for husbands and fathers in this short 80-page book and we will tell you how you can order a copy for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.The interview was conducted this week halfway across the world, where Joel is preaching in New Zealand and Australia.---------------------------------How to Lead Your Family by Joel BeekeFamily Worship Bible Guide by Joel Beeke

Send us a textGUEST: GREG GIFFORD, author, Lies My Therapist Told MeThe statistics are staggering: one in five people in America have been diagnosed with a “mental illness.” One in six people are taking powerful psychotropic medications, such as anti-depressants, anti-anxieties, and stimulants. Many Christians have been trapped in the vortex of the “mental health industry” as well.And here's the troubling part in the majority of the cases: wrong diagnoses lead to wrong and harmful treatments.Our guest this weekend is Greg Gifford. He is the chair of the School of Biblical Studies at The Master's University, a fellow at the Fortis Institute, and author of the compelling new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me: Why Christians Should Aim for More Than Just Treating Symptoms. He will explain the important distinction between the immaterial mind and the material brain and how God's Word is all-sufficient to renew the mind to think and live for God's glory.

Send us a textGUEST: SOEREN KERN, geopolitical analystPresident Trump just returned from his first overseas trip of his second term. Where a president chooses to visit first is a signal of his priorities. That President Trump went to the Middle East and three Arab/Muslim countries—Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and United Arab Emirates (UAE)—speaks loudly about Trump's hope to bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East. Interestingly, Trump did not visit Israel, even though he was in the region.Trillions of dollars in investments by Arab countries to American businesses were negotiated. Trump met with sketchy leaders like Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, who oddly gifted the U.S. a Boeing 747. Trump gave a major policy speech outlining his vision for the Middle East, which would have Saudi Arabia signing the Abraham Accords, a treaty normalizing relations between Arab nations and Israel. Meanwhile, Islamist Iran looms in the region, trying desperately to develop nuclear weapons.How to interpret all that took place? Christian geopolitical analyst Soeren Kern will join us this weekend on The Christian Worldview Radio Program to survey the many facets of President Trump's trip and how it will impact America and our longtime ally Israel. Soeren will also discuss the upcoming U.N. Palestine Summit June 17-20 in New York, which aims to “Take Irreversible Action Towards Implementing a Two-State Solution.” These are some of the subjects Soeren will be addressing in more detail in the June 2025 issue of The Christian Worldview Journal monthly print publication that is sent to all Christian Worldview Partners.Is God close to enacting His end times plan of snatching away His church and allowing the antichrist to deceive the nations and persecute Israel before Christ's return? We don't know God's timing but we'd better be alert and ready.

Send us a textGUEST: Mike Gendron, founder and director, Proclaiming the GospelPresident Trump is on historic multi-nation visit to the Middle East, where he is attempting to broker financial investments in U.S. companies and generally lower the hostile temperature of Arab nations toward one another and Israel. Geopolitical analyst Soeren Kern will join us next week to interpret all that took place and what it means for the U.S. and Israel.This week, Mike Gendron, founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel, a ministry devoted to helping Roman Catholics understand and believe the biblical gospel, joins us to discuss the selection of a new pope, Leo XIV. Mike, a Roman Catholic for the first 35 years of his life, will tell us about the new pope, the first American-born leader of the Catholic Church, and explain core Catholic doctrines—like Peter being the first pope—and how these contrast with God's Word.But before we get to the new pope and the Roman Catholic Church, Mike and I will discuss the disheartening news this week that Josh Buice, founder and president of G3 Ministries, a ministry focused on building the church up in sound doctrine, has resigned due to the uncovering of anonymous social media accounts that he was using to slander other Christians and ministries and then lying about it.Paul told Timothy to “Pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things, for as you do this you will ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you” (1 Timothy 4:16). This is a sobering reminder that we must not only examine our teaching but our hearts.

Send us a textGUEST: Mary Jane Wheaton, David's MomThe great preacher Charles Spurgeon said, “Never could it be possible for any man to estimate what He owes to a godly mother.”I heartily concur with that sentiment, as God blessed my Dad with a godly wife and my siblings and I with a godly mother. All of us have been presently and eternally impacted by our mother, Mary Jane Wheaton, who was brought to saving faith in Christ in her 20s, and by God's grace, has followed Him to today at age 91.It has been an annual tradition on The Christian Worldview to interview my Mom and Dad in May and June over Mother's Day and Father's Day weekends. It's always enriching to hear their perspective on matters of life and faith, as they both were Christ-followers and married for nearly 70 years. The Lord brought my Dad home to heaven in 2023 at the same age my mom is today.My mom will be our guest this weekend on this Mother's Day special program. She will recount how God saved her, who has influenced her, how society has changed its view of women, what a wife should pursue, and much more.God's Word describes in Proverbs 31 the character of an “excellent wife” and mother, which says in part:“Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:“Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.”Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”May women listening today be encouraged to pursue God's design for a woman, wife, and mother. And may young men be looking for this kind of woman to marry and may married men be cultivating this character in their wives.

Send us a textGUEST: DAVID MITZENMACHER, chairman, Founders MinistriesThere have always been subversive people within the church and there always will be. One aspect of great neglect for far too many pastors today is not warning their churches about them. Whether the pastor doesn't have the discernment to see error or whether he's unwilling to be “negative,” the result is the same—Christians led astray “by smooth and flattering speech” (Romans 16:18).In the week leading up to Easter, Christianity Today, led by editor-in-chief Russell Moore, published an article with the headline “Was Jesus Crucified with Nails?” The Bible is abundantly clear that He was (cf. John 20:25) so why let this article see the light of day?David Mitzenmacher, associate pastor of Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral, FL and chairman of Founders Ministries joins us this weekend to discuss subversive influencers within the professing church, specifically with the example of Russell Moore.

Send us a textGUEST: SCOTT ANIOL, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 MinistriesThe highest calling for Christians is to pursue holiness.Scripture says this definitively, “As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16).What hinders the pursuit of holiness, defined as Christ-likeness, is the opposite—worldliness. Worldliness is defined in Scripture as the sinful lusts and pride which the world around us relentlessly promotes:“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world” (1 John 2:16).Here's what WORLDLINESS tells us: >> If it feels good, do it. >> If it looks good, get it. >> If it elevates me, go for it.Not surprisingly, the fallen world ruled by Satan presents endless ways to draw us off the path of holiness and down the dead end of worldliness. And most problematic, there's something inside us that is drawn to what the sinful world offers. It's enjoyable. It causes us to laugh. It makes us feel “in.” It boosts our view of self. And it's really not going to affect me, right?Scott Aniol, Executive Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of G3 Ministries and Professor of Pastoral Theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss worldliness and how to identify and overcome it.We hope you find the conversation edifying for your Christian life.

Send us a textEarly released program for Easter Weekend (April 19, 2025)The prophets foretold Him. The gospels reveal Him. The epistles explain Him. All of Scripture exalts Him.“Him” being Jesus Christ, the God-man who lived among us, was crucified by those He created, miraculously rose from the grave, and then ascended alive into heaven.This is way beyond the “greatest story ever told”. Rather, Jesus Christ is the greatest One who ever lived. His crucifixion, burial, resurrection is the greatest, most significant event in human history.Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6).Scripture also says, “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time” (1 Timothy 2:5).This Easter weekend, we're going to talk about “the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all”. We'll examine the most detailed Old Testament prophecy about Him in Isaiah 53 and see how it was precisely fulfilled. We'll also hear some of the most profound hymns about Christ's sacrificial death for man.We hope your Easter is made more meaningful as you listen to this special edition of The Christian Worldview.--------------------Related Resources:Why Would Anyone Follow Jesus?

Send us a textGUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, pastor, Grace Church Greeley, COThere are lots of things that draw our time and thoughts away from the most important Person and event in history—Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection which took place nearly 2000 years ago in Jerusalem.Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came from heaven, born of a virgin, lived a sinless life with the whole purpose of offering Himself on the cross to pay the death penalty for man's sins against His Father. Why would He do this?Here's why: “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).Consider Jesus in the days leading to His death on the cross. He knew when, where, and how He was going to suffer and die. Above all, He knew that His own Father would be pouring out His just wrath and justice on Him, the innocent One, for all the sins of all who would believe.The gospel of Luke describes Jesus' state on the night of His arrest as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane: “being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground” (Luke 22:44).Agony, praying fervently, sweating blood. What? Didn't Jesus just run through this unruffled like some superhero?No He didn't. His agony and His actions before His atoning death teach us a great deal about who He is and who believers are called to be.Our guest this weekend is Travis Allen. Travis served our country in the US Navy as a member of the SEAL teams and is now the pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO. Travis gave a recent sermon series on “The Agony in the Garden,” explaining the deep suffering of Christ in the hours before He would bear His Father's wrath for our sin on the cross.We hope this program leading into Easter week, along with the April issue of The Christian Worldview Journal, which is scheduled to arrive this week, will help our hearts and minds more deeply appreciate and worship Christ for who He is—the Son of God and only Savior of mankind.-------------------------------RELATED SERMONS:The Agony in the Garden, Part 1The Agony in the Garden, Part 2Lessons from the GardenThe Arrest of JesusGRACE CHURCH GREELEY, CO PODCASTPillar of Truth

In the opening segment of the program, I will recount some of the highlights, including a Christian Worldview Partner luncheon at Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, along with visits to KKLA 99.5 FM (who broadcasts The Christian Worldview each Saturday at 8am) and Living Waters to see Ray Comfort and Co.------------------------Later in the program, we will discuss the issue of judges ruling against President Trump's executive orders. In the first 100 days of the Trump administration, Democrats have been staggering as Trump and his team execute a kind of blitzkrieg against liberal policies. But it was inevitable that the left would fight back and now their strategy is apparent—use leftist judges appointed by Obama and Biden to stymie Trump's orders.But do unelected judges really have the authority to overturn the orders of a nationally-elected president? Has Trump overstepped presidential authority when it comes to such things as cutting government spending and deporting those who entered our country illegally, including a Columbia graduate student who calls for the destruction of Israel?Daniel Schmid, a constitutional attorney and Associate Vice President of Legal Affairs for Liberty Counsel, an international nonprofit, litigation, education, and policy organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family, will join us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the showdown between the Trump administration and the third branch of government.----------------------->> Short highlight video from Ray Comfort

Send us a textGUEST: EMEAL “EZ” Zwayne, author, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal PurityThe Book of Proverbs was written to be profitable to all readers but is particularly directed to young men. One of the prominent exhortations and warnings for sons in Proverbs is on the issue of moral purity. Listen to Proverbs 5:18-23:Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth.As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times; Be exhilarated always with her love.For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He watches all his paths.His own iniquities will capture the wicked, And he will be held with the cords of his sin.He will die for lack of instruction, And in the greatness of his folly he will go astray.God wonderfully designed us with the ability to procreate and to enjoy the one-flesh dynamic of sexual intimacy within the one-man one-woman marriage covenant, all to His glory. But what God beautifully designed is what the devil, the world, and our flesh relentlessly corrupts. God says, “rejoice in the wife of your youth.” Satan says, “Do whatever you want with whomever you want.”And the destruction that results from lust and pornography and fornication and adultery and homosexuality and every other kind of sexual sin are everywhere—bondage to sin, broken marriages, sexually transmitted diseases, and alienation from God. Because of the pull of sexual desire and the ubiquity of sexual sin, it's common to conclude that God's call for sexual purity—mentally and physically—is an impossible standard.In part 2 of this series on personal purity, Emeal Zwayne, president of Living Waters, a ministry which exists “to train the members of Christ's Body in the principles of biblical evangelism” will join us to discuss his excellent book, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity.Fight Like a Man is our new featured resource and we will tell you how you can order a copy today for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.----------------------------RELATED RESOURCESPart 1 – Fight Like a ManOrder a copy of Fight Like A Man by Emeal "EZ"ZwayneSteven Lawson Statement

Send us a textGUEST: Emeal Zwayne (EZ), author, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal PurityThe Apostle Peter was inspired by God to write: “Be of sober spirit, be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished among your brethren who are in the world” (1 Peter 5:8-9).The devil is the believer's great adversary and he has a singular mission—to devour the Christian by tempting us to sin against God. Satan uses the fallen world and our sinful flesh to great effect. One of his favored means of destruction is corrupting God's gift and design of sex for one-man one-woman marriage into a litany of perversions: fornication, adultery, lust, pornography, homosexuality, and more.Consistent victory in this never-ending war is not simply a matter of having an accountability partner or putting a filter on your device. No, this calls for transformation of the heart and comprehensive preparation and plans of action, from being born again to pursuing sanctification to employing the supernatural resources God provides.Emeal Zwayne (also known as E.Z.), president of Living Waters, has written an excellent book titled, Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity. He joins us this weekend for part one of a two-part series on this important topic of sexual purity. Fight Like a Man is our new featured resource and we will tell you how you can order a copy today for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.Later, in the final segment, Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal, will join us to discuss the recent violence in Syria and whether reports of Christian genocide are true.

Send us a textGUEST: JUSTIN PETERS, Evangelist and Speaker on the Word of Faith MovementIn just a short time in office, President Trump has made many right policy decisions that align with the Bible's call for government and leaders to promote what is good and punish evil (Romans 13), such as ending governmental imposition of the sin of partiality with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) or the depraved transgender lie, along with a host of other policies that improve fiscal responsibility and national sovereignty over globalism.Christians can cheer that a U-turn has been made away from godless Marxism. But the President's choice of false teacher Paula White to head the White House Faith Office is another story.Paula White is one of the prominent leaders in the Word of Faith movement, also known as the health, wealth, and prosperity gospel. This is a heretical movement that misrepresents God and His Word and leads millions of people away from the one and only saving gospel of Jesus Christ.Justin Peters leads a ministry that has particular focus on exposing the false teaching and false teachers of the Word of Faith movement. His column in the soon-to-be-delivered March issue of The Christian Worldview Journal focuses on Trump's pick of Paula White. He joins us this weekend on the radio program.In the final segment of the program, Twila Brase of Citizens Council for Health Freedom, will inform us about the government's push for a national ID card called “Real ID” that she is urging listeners to avoid and contact their legislators about.> Refuse Real ID: https://www.votervoice.net/SFHF/Campaigns/122494/Respond

Send us a textGUEST: ACE DAVIS, pastor, Faith Bible Church (White Bear Lake, MN)The church, the body of true believers in Jesus Christ from every tribe and tongue, is called “the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth” (1 Tim. 3:15).God began the church 50 days after the Passover on which Jesus was crucified, by sending His Holy Spirit to indwell and empower believers to do God's will.Ever since, despite relentless attempts to destroy or corrupt it, the church has unstoppably marched on as a witness to the saving and sanctifying power of God through His Son, His Spirit and His Word.There is no category for a Christian to not be part of a local church. The example of first century believers was that their lives were centered around the church, as they gathered each week to worship God, fellowship with one another, pray, remember the Lord's death and resurrection, and hear the preaching of God's Word.In short, the church is a top priority for God and needs to be for believers as well.This week, pastor Ace Davis of Faith Bible Church (White Bear Lake, MN) will join us to discuss various aspects of the church in light of the session he will be teaching in June at The Overcomer Course for Young Adults titled “Engaging God's Design in the Local Church.”Later in the program, Jerry Newcombe, executive director of Providence Forum, will join us for part 2 of our conversation on the faith and character of our first president George Washington.

First, Robert Knight, columnist for the Washington Times, will provide insight on the extent of this scandal and then Jerry Newcombe, Executive Director of Providence Forum, will explain how our government has abandoned the founders' intent and example, particularly with George Washington, our first president and the subject of a documentary we will discuss.Be sure to tune in for this important topic!--------------------------------------To subscribe to Robert Knight's columns, send him an email at RobertKnight4@gmail.com.

Send us a textGUEST: NATASHA CRAIN, author, When Culture Hates YouIn speaking to His disciples, Jesus used strong language to describe the reaction the unbelieving world would have to His followers:“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you” (John 15:19).Not dislikes you or misunderstands you or is confused by you but “hates you”.Why does the world hate believers? Jesus answers that question: “For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light lest his deeds be exposed” (John 3:20). In other words, the Light of Christ is in every true believer and a sanctified life convicts unbelievers of their sin and their alienation from God.Even though the political winds have changed recently in this country, the spiritual winds will always be in the face of Christians. So how can believers obey their call to be salt and light—a preservative to what honors God and a light to the way of salvation? How do we avoid passivity (i.e. removing ourselves from engagement in society) but rather faithfully be an ambassador for Christ?Our guest this weekend is Natasha Crain, the author of a new book and our new featured resource titled, When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square. She writes that the purpose of her book is “to give Christ followers the crucial understanding required to confidently advocate for righteousness in today's increasingly dark and hostile culture.”After laying the theological foundation for engagement, she addresses five hot-button issues of our day that Christians must know how to respond to.Later in the program, we'll hear part 2 of the interview with Pastor Jamie Bambrick, Editor-In-Chief of Clear Truth Media, on How Mis-Prioritized Love Has Contributed to the Decline of Western Civilization.----------------------------------NEW FEATURED RESOURCE for a donation of any amount!When Culture Hates You by Natasha CrainAs cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square.

Send us a textGUEST: Jamie Bambrick, Editor-In-Chief, Clear Truth MediaOn Tuesday, February 4, 2025, President Trump, in a joint press conference at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, made a stunning statement: “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip…we'll own it.”Not only did he say the U.S. will takeover Gaza but that the Palestinians there would be relocated, the U.S. would clean up the destruction from the Israel-Hamas war that has turned Gaza into rubble, develop the area into a kind of Mediterranean Riviera, and bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East.This is truly the most audacious foreign policy plan by the U.S. in decades. We're talking about an area in the historic nation of Israel, the one that God almighty promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob thousands of years ago, the one that is the epicenter of God's own plans for the end times.Will the U.S. really “own” a portion of Israel? Or is this just a leveraging negotiating tactic on Trump's part? We'll discuss more in the opening segment this weekend.Then, Jamie Bambrick, a pastor from Ireland and editor-in-chief of Clear Truth Media will join us to discuss something called ordo amoris (ordered love) and how the misapplication of this Biblical concept has led to the decline of Western Civilization in the U.K. and the U.S.-----------------------RELATED RESOURCES:Our guest Jamie Bambrick made a variation of the He Gets Us Campaign Super Bowl Ad in 2024.

Alex will also interpret why Trump's talk of acquiring Greenland and Canada is a hint at regional governance.Later in the program, Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal will join us to continue our conversation from last week about how the Israeli-Hamas ceasefire and hostage release deal is the first step to restarting the Abraham Accords and the inevitable pressure on Israel to agree to a two-state solution.Be sure to join us for a packed hour on national and world events!___________________________________RELATED RESOURCE: Alex Newman joined us for a Speaker Series event in the Spring of 2024.  The event video is available on our YouTube channel

Send us a textMonday, January 20, 2025 was a big day in our country. It was the day that our nation made a political U-turn, from four years of financial, moral, and social decline foisted on us by Joe Biden and the Democratic Party to the start of the second term of Donald Trump and promises of American ascent and exceptionalism.January 20 also coincided this year with the federal holiday named after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the pastor and revered civil rights activist.Virgil Walker, Vice President of Ministry Relations at G3 Ministries, co-host of the Just Thinking Podcast, and co-author with Darrell Harrison of the brand new book, A Biblical Theology of Climate Change, joins us to discuss the ramifications of Trump's inauguration and the beliefs and life of Martin Luther King.Later in the program, Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal, will join us to discuss the Israel-Hamas ceasefire and hostage deal. ——————————- RELATED ARTICLE: Deconstructing the MLK myth

Send us a textGUEST: JOSH BUICE, Pastor of Pray's Mill Baptist Church (GA) and President G3 MinistriesFollowing the recent death of Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States who served from 1977-1981, the headlines have been singing in unison:Jimmy Carter, a lifelong Baptist, left a legacy of faithfulness, compassion and justice (Baptist News):‘A shining example': Religious leaders praise the late former President Jimmy Carter (Religion News Services)Pope praises Jimmy Carter's ‘deep Christian faith' (US Conference of Catholic Bishops)Setting aside the widespread perception that Carter's one-term presidency was feckless—stagnant economy, fuel shortages, unresolved hostage ordeal with Iran—the paradox with Carter is that he professed to be a born-again Christian despite the fact that he was a proponent of abortion and homosexual “marriage”.How can a professed follower of God advocate for things so contrary to the Word of God? And why is he so lauded when other professing born again Christians are loathed?Our guest this weekend is Josh Buice. He is the pastor of Pray's Mill Baptist Church in Georgia and the founder and president of G3 Ministries. Josh will talk about Jimmy Carter and his faith along with other current issues in society and the church:Why Christians should seek the abolition of abortion and not be satisfied with incremental gains like heartbeat lawsHow Christians should think about pastors and the local church in light of the disqualification of preacher Steve LawsonWhat Christians should discern about the person and policies of Donald Trump, as he takes the oath of office on Mon, January 20.Be sure to tune in for this wide-ranging conversation.----------------------The Overcomer Course - registration open for June 20-21, 2025

Send us a textGUEST: MATT MORRELL, Pastor, Fourth Baptist Church (Plymouth, MN)As we start the year, we don't know what lies ahead, whether with world events, the economy, personal health, and many other things. Just consider the horrific wildfires causing destruction and death in Los Angeles and remember to pray for those impacted.The bottom line: Life is uncertain but storms are certain.Jesus concluded His most well-known sermon, the Sermon on the Mount, this way:“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall” (Mt. 7:24-27).The beginning of a new year provides a good opportunity for Christians to self-examine. Are you and I making choices to build the house of our lives on the foundation of Christ and His Word?This weekend Matt Morrell, pastor of Fourth Baptist Church and president of Central Seminary in Plymouth, MN, will join us to discuss two of his recent sermons about our foundation in life and personal sanctification. Matt is also one of the featured teachers at The Overcomer Course for Young Adults this coming June 20-21.Later in the program, Andrew DeBartolo, host of Liberty Coalition in Canada, will join us to discuss the resignation of prime minister Justin Trudeau.Later in the program, we'll hear from Andrew DeBartolo of Liberty Coalition Canada about the resignation of prime ministry Justin Trudeau.

Send us a textGUEST: STEVE MILLER, author, One Day NearerLast week in part one on our two-part series on Biblical prophecy, Steve Miller joined us to discuss his 365-day devotional book One Day Nearer: Daily Devotions in Anticipation of Jesus' Glorious Return.He pointed out that the motivation to understand Biblical prophecy goes beyond knowing the what and when about the future but that it should impel believers to a deeper love for God and His awesome plan and victory when His Son returns in glory to judge and reign.Steve bolstered our faith by pointing to several Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in the New Testament, such as Christ being born of a virgin woman in the town of Bethlehem. He also explained the three main end times views: premillennialism, amillennialism, and post-millennialism.This weekend in part two, Steve will answer some of the intriguing questions that believers have pondered over the years:When does the prophesied war of Gog and Magog take place and who is involved (i.e. Ezekiel 38-39)?Will the Jewish Temple be rebuilt next to the current Islamic mosque in Jerusalem?Who is “Babylon the Great” in Revelation 17 and where does America fit in to end times prophecy?And, what is the believer's call at this time?Steve's daily devotional One Day Nearer is our new featured resource available for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.--------------------------Steve Miller's Podcast: Foreshadows ReportDevotional Resource: One Day Nearer365 Days of Keeping Watch and Finding Hope! Steve Miller's daily devotional will help you live with an eternal perspective and in anticipation of Christ's return. (384 pg, softcover)

Send us a textGUEST: STEVE MILLER, author, One Day NearerI recently watched a program on Fox News Channel that featured some of the sharpest conservative minds, including Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, and Mark Levin. They were discussing the crumbling state of affairs in America and abroad with regard to overwhelming illegal immigration across our border, a takeover of the government school system by a Marxist worldview, crushing economic policies and inflation, political corruption, widespread anti-Israel sentiment, and several more.They detailed the problems accurately but I was left wondering what these intelligent men believe is going to happen in the future. Do they think with a different president that we'll pull out of this death spiral? Do they think that America is too big to fail and that the pendulum will swing back the conservative way at some point? Do they know and believe what God has prophesied in the Bible about the end times?Only the born again Christian who is indwelled by the Holy Spirit and accurately interprets Scripture is able to understand what is coming. While God has chosen to not reveal every detail and precise timing of the future, He has put enough in Scripture that we should know what's coming, most especially, the return of Jesus Christ to defeat His enemies and reign.With each passing sunset, we are “one day nearer” to the return of Christ. And that is the best news! Why would the believer want to struggle on in this world—with sin, conflict, persecution, disease, and death—when we can live for eternity in perfection in the presence of Christ?Steve Miller is our guest this weekend and next. He has studied Biblical prophecy for decades and is the author of Foreshadows: 12 Megaclues Jesus' Return is Nearer than Ever and the 365-day devotional book that we will be discussing today, One Day Nearer: Daily Devotions in Anticipation of Jesus' Glorious Return. One Day Nearer is our new featured resource available for a donation of any amount.This week he will explain the purposes of Bible prophecy, the three major views (i.e. premillennialism, amillennialism, and post-millennialism),  and whether the idea of a “rapture” of church-age believers is a recent invention.

Send us a textThis weekend's program was produced in 2022 and was prepared to focus our attention on the Christ of Christmas. In the left column are resources and ideas for you to use personally with your own families.  The Christian Worldview wishes all of you a memorable and meaningful Christmas.  To God be all Glory!Christmas is upon us. While it's easy to get distracted by all that competes for our attention—current events and politics, work and school, sports and recreation, travel and material things, even family and church—there is really only one most important issue and that is the person of Jesus Christ and what He has done for mankind.Jesus said, “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36).That couldn't be more clear. Where you spend eternity hinges on whether you place your faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.Christmas is the time when Christians remember and celebrate God sending His Son into our world, born of a virgin woman, mighty and holy in word and deed, and loving and sacrificial in offering His perfect life to satisfy God's wrath and justice for our sins.Today will be a program to think about not Christmas generally, but the Christ of Christmas specifically. We will read God's word, listen to some music, even do a Christmas quiz, all to appreciate and worship the God/Man, the Lord Jesus Christ. For none of us would have any hope without His “One Solitary Life”.-----------------------------CHRISTMAS RESOURCES for you and your family:QUIZ/POEMS/READINGS:Christmas QuizHistory behind I Heard the Bells on Christmas DayOne Solitary LifeOn Going Home for ChristmasVIDEO:The Gospel | Paul WasherTreasures of the Snow filmThe Legend of the Candy CaneTruce in the Forest short filmHans Brinker film AmazonMUSIC:O Holy Night | Phil WebbThe Messiah | Robert ShawTCW Christmas Music (Spotify)

That “health care” includes administering powerful drugs and hormones to minors that alter sexual development and irreversible surgeries to remove reproductive body parts.Abraham Hamilton, General Counsel and Public Policy Analyst for American Family Association and the host of The Hamilton Corner radio program will join us to discuss that.While we in America debate the illogical and impossibility of changing one's sex, people in Syria are concerned about the basics of life after an Islamist militant group just ousted long-time dictator Bashar al-Assad.What does this mean for the broader Middle East and specifically for neighboring Israel?

Send us a textBlood is a recurring theme in Scripture. In Genesis 4, God confronted Cain after he had murdered his brother Abel, saying: The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground (Gen. 4:10).The sacrificial system God established for the Jews to temporarily cover their sin involved countless animals being slaughtered and their blood applied to the altar and mercy seat.Ephesians 1:7 says, In Him we have redemption through His blood, the fogginess of our trespasses.Even in a physical sense the Bible says, For the life of the flesh is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11).Clearly, God created and designed blood to be highly important physically and spiritually.This weekend on The Christian Worldview, we will discuss my recent problem with blood flow in my heart. We will also hear from the author of a children's book titled 100% Jesus, that does a really good job explaining the gospel and how the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). We think the book will be a helpful tool in your Bible reading time with your children, along with daily conversations and going to church, that will help young ones understand and believe in Christ.And finally in the third segment, we'll discuss the significance of President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter along with previewing first issue The Christian Worldview Journal coming to your mailbox soon.--------------------------100% Jesus by Jason Hammerberg - available for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview

Send us a text** This is a rebroadcast of our 11/27/21 program.GUEST: DR. JERRY NEWCOMBE, producer, The Pilgrims documentaryA small group of biblical Christians known as the the Pilgrims are widely considered to be “the founders of America”.Numbering only about 400-500 souls, they had fled religious persecution in England to settle in Holland. But after ten years there, they decided on another move across the Atlantic Ocean to an unknown land that would become the United States.About 50 Pilgrims were on the first vessel called The Mayflower, arriving in modern-day Cape Cod in Massachusetts in November 1620. One year later in November 1621, after a brutal winter in which many of them died, they celebrated a bountiful harvest with local Indians who had helped them in what has become known as the first Thanksgiving.The Pilgrims and their biblical beliefs which led directly to the principles of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution 150 years have been mostly forgotten by the majority of our population. “Separation of church and state” is a sacrament of mainstream society today…but it wasn't to the Pilgrims. They said they came to America “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.”Dr. Jerry Newcombe, producer of the documentary film, The Pilgrims, joins us this Thanksgiving weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the Pilgrims' story and what they believed and lived by. For in them we have an example for how we can live in our pilgrimage in a contrary world.--------------------------Thanksgiving Special:THE PILGRIMS DVDAvailable for a limited time for a donation of any amount.The Pilgrims DVD celebrates the journey of a small group of outcasts in their quest for religious freedom. Unlike revisionist history, you will discover the true story of the men and women who came to these shores “for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith.”57 mins, DVD.  Also available for streaming from Coral Ridge Ministries.

Send us a textGUEST: MEGAN BASHAM, author, Shepherds for SaleJesus warned, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15-16).False teachers don't wear red suits and carry pitchforks. That would be too obvious. Far more effective for undermining the church, diverting believers, and hiding the gospel from unbelievers is for false teachers to hold respected positions at churches and Christian organizations and to be captivating speakers and writers.What's really effective is when they gain popularity while appearing to hold orthodox positions only to shift over time away from orthodoxy, leading their followers away.False teachers are nothing new. The Old Testament recounts the false prophets who led Israel into compromise and sin. The New Testament describes the constant battles of Christ and the apostles to “Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.” (2 Tim. 1:13).From the very beginning, Satan relentlessly attacks the truth of God's Word and he uses men and women to do it. Men and women who likely would never consider themselves to be false teachers but are nonetheless. “You will know them by their fruits”, meaning misinterpreting Scripture and practicing sin.Our guest this weekend is Christian reporter, Megan Basham. She is the author of a well-researched, well-documented, and illuminating new book, Shepherds for Sale—How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.She describes how those on the political left are insidiously working to draw Evangelicals, the last remaining bulwark standing in the way of their socialist, Marxist vision, over to the Democrat side by giving large sums of money and reframing issues like climate change, race, immigration, pro-life, and homosexuality in language that appeals to Christians.None other than John MacArthur has written about Megan's book, Shepherds for Sale: “This may just be the single most important book on modern evangelicalism in recent years.”The question is: Will Evangelicals listen and make amends? Because the courage and Biblical model to exercise discernment, contend for sound doctrine, and name the names of those leading Christians astray has been sinfully lacking and shamed out of Christians to avoid being pegged as “divisive” and “unkind”.We have the book in our online store and we highly encourage you to get informed and give a copy to your own shepherd pastor.

Send us a textGUEST: Robert Knight, columnist, The Washington TimesLast week in our program before the election we started by reading Psalm 103:19: “The Lord has established His throne in the heavens and His sovereignty rules over all.”We said that God's supreme power and authority is what Christians need to be trusting in now and always, for He controls the past, present, and future, moving people to accomplish His purposes.On November 5, millions of voters in our nation were moved to elect Republican Donald Trump to a second term as president in a landslide victory over Democrat Kamala Harris. There's no other way to interpret the results than a sizable majority of the American people rejected the Marxist worldview of Harris and Democrats who seek to overturn traditional American values based on Christianity.Democrats are very clear that they want the “freedom” to abort babies throughout all nine months of pregnancy. They brought millions of illegal immigrants across our borders to make them into a permanent voting bloc dependent on government. They want to “transition” boys into girls and girls into boys even in the face of parental objection. They even want self-identifying boys to enter girls' locker room and compete in girls' sports. They want to tax and spend massively on social programs, despite costs and debt rising, so more people are dependent on and thus will vote for them. They want to shut down dissenting speech as “hate speech” and “inciting violence” and a “threat to democracy”. These are examples of Marxism, the toppling of Christian values and more in favor of big government secularism.Robert Knight, columnist for The Washington Times, joined us last week to preview the election and he will join us this weekend to analyze various elements of this stunning victory by Trump.--------------------------------------------RELATED RESOURCE:In-depth report by Revolver.news on the Jan 6, 2021 U.S. Capitol riot

Send us a textGUEST: JOEL BEEKE, Heritage Reformed CongregationLast week on the program, guest Mike Gendron joined us to discuss the topic, Remembering the Reformation and the War Against It Today. Mike explained why the Reformation was necessary (because the Roman Catholic Church had so departed from the faith and doctrines of the first century church) and what the Reformation accomplished, including the Word of God recovered as supreme authority, Christ as head of His church, and all-important doctrines such as justification by God's grace alone through faith alone apart from human merit.This week, as we approach the anniversary of Reformation Day, October 31, 1517, the date when German monk Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany to protest the errant doctrines and abuses of the dominant Roman Catholic Church and which ignited a 130-year period of “reform” that forever altered the Christian faith and the Western Civilization, we will continue our focus on the Reformation by discussing “How the Church Needs Reformation Today”Joel Beeke, pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation (Grand Rapids, MI), founder of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary, and chairman of Reformation Heritage Books, will join us to explain how the church and Christians individually should apply truths recovered in the Reformation to preaching and living.We will also be offering a book edited by Joel Beeke titled The Beauty and Glory of the Reformation, which will better acquaint you with the men and women of the Reformation and how they believed and lived out the 5 Solas—Scripture alone, grace alone, Christ alone, faith alone, all for the glory of God alone.----------------------The Beauty and Glory of the Reformation by Joel BeekeThis 208-page hardcover book will call you to be grateful to God and to grow in appreciation for the rich biblical, doctrinal, experiential, and practical heritage passed on by the great sixteenth-century Reformation.Worldview Partners will automatically receive a copy of this book or you can purchase it for $20 [retail $25].Become a Worldview Partner for a monthly gift of $25 or more and automatically receive resources like this 4-6 times per year.

Send us a textGuest: Mike Gendron, Founder and Director, Proclaiming the GospelIt says something very destructive about the trajectory of our nation that October 31 is overwhelmingly celebrated as Halloween, a “holy-day” that features the dark supernatural world of evil spirits, death, and paganism.A far more righteous and momentous event occurred on the same date in the year 1517 when a monk named Martin Luther nailed a document known as the 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, protesting errant doctrines of the predominant Roman Catholic Church. Luther's protest ignited the Reformation, which led to the recovery of key doctrines of the faith such as justification by God's grace through faith and started a new branch of Christianity called Protestantism.The impact of the Reformation went far beyond ecclesiastical matters into the civil sphere. European nations, such as Britain, Scotland, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Scandinavia, became Protestant, and generations later as descendants migrated to America, beliefs and practices from the Reformation shaped the founding documents and culture of our nation.Mike Gendron, founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries and a former Roman Catholic for 35 years, is our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview. He recently wrote a column on the Reformation that we will discuss. We will also examine how the the Marxist assault against our Constitution is really an ideological war against the Reformation.-------------------------RELATED RESOURCES:Sign up for Mike Gendron's newsletterBarna 2024 Pre-Election ResearchManger in Danger

Send us a textGUEST: GRANT CASTLEBERRY, pastor, Capital Community Church (Raleigh, NC)God created the universe and every living thing. There is no being greater than God and thus He is sovereign over all, which definitionally means “possessing supreme or ultimate power.”We see God's sovereignty, His rule, His control all throughout Scripture—from the parting of the Red Sea to prophecy-fulfilling events of Christ's life, death, and resurrection to nations rising and falling.We marvel and praise God for His sovereignty when He ordains events that save or bless. But we question God's sovereignty when the storms and sin and chaos of life causes suffering and pain.For example, how do we reconcile God's sovereignty…In devastating hurricanes like Helene and Milton?When we learn a trusted preacher like Steven Lawson has not been above reproach?When a godless civil leader may rise to power?Grant Castleberry is the pastor of Capital Community Church in Raleigh, NC and the Bible teacher of Unashamed Truth.

Hundreds of Americans missing in a natural disaster. ICE says there are over 600k mid-high level criminals in our midst. War breaking out in the Middle East. And Kamala Harris wants a promotion.”It would seem with the troubled condition of America, adding to the list high prices and inflation, unaffordable housing, rampant crime, millions of illegal immigrants being dropped all over the country, poor public education and much more, that there would be no way Americas would give Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, that promotion on election day, Tuesday, Nov. 5.But alas, the polls, if one can trust the polls, have the race between Harris and Trump very close.It's helpful in these times to hear from someone with a wide breadth of historical experience along with a Christian worldview. That would be Cal Thomas, 81-years-old and one of America's leading journalists over his 50+ year career.

Send us a textOn Thursday, September 19, a statement was released from Trinity Bible Church in Dallas announcing that their pastor, “Steven J. Lawson has been removed indefinitely from all ministry activities at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas. Several days ago, the elders at Trinity Bible Church of Dallas were informed by Steve Lawson of an inappropriate relationship that he has had with a woman.”The shocks of this earthquake were immediately felt throughout the Evangelical Christian world. How could the 73-year-old popular and influential theologically conservative pastor/preacher who had been in ministry for nearly 50 years, who preached at the biggest conferences around the world, who was “a preacher to aspiring preachers”, who had written dozens of books on Christian doctrine, history, and practice, fall into this kind of disqualifying sin?Surely, the best of preachers, one who fastidiously studied and accurately preached the Word with such passion and conviction, he must surely be sanctified beyond this?Someone once said, “The best of men are men at best.” Or Scripture puts it even better, “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9). That means all men and women. Great preachers and you and me.We will discuss this tragic news this weekend on The Christian Worldview, not in any way to judge a man, but so that all of us would “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life” (Proverbs 4:23).

Send us a textGUEST: JAMES WHITE, Alpha and Omega MinistriesProverbs 28:2 in the The New Living Translation reads this way: “When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability.”Well, that's certainly descriptive of our nation.Over 60 million abortions of unborn human beingsCelebration of sexual immorality, whether heterosexual, homosexual, or transgenderRedefining God-designed one-man one-woman marriage and the male-female fixed binaryMulti-billion dollar pornography industryThere's more to the “moral rot” than this—economic policies that disincentivize work and reward sinful behavior, legalization of recreational drugs, disinformation from government, no or low consequences for criminals. And the list goes on.It should be stated that Proverbs are general principles and not guarantees. Moral rot within a nation doesn't always topple the government but sometimes it does. The Roman Empire was marked by moral rot and it collapsed, despite a large geographic scale of rule, military might, educational advancement, and economic prosperity.It's the second part of this Proverb that is up for discussion—“wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability”. We have moral rot but do we have “wise and knowledgeable leaders” to bring stability?In part 1 last week, guest Dr. James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries, explained the Romans 1 tidal wave in how America has gone from revering God and His Word to rejecting and detesting Him.This week in part 2, James will explain why an explosion of sexual sin results from suppressing God truth and exchanging it for a lie.

Send us a textGUEST: JAMES WHITE, Alpha and Omega MinistriesIn the opening chapter of the apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, he describes God-rejecting mankind, who “suppress the truth in unrighteousness”, whose “foolish hearts were darkened”, who “exchanged the truth of God for the lie”, and worship themselves and their pleasures rather than the Creator.God's judgment on these rebels is the wrath of abandonment, where God “gives them over” to plunge deeper into sin. When this occurs, wickedness explodes—heterosexual immorality becomes homosexuality immorality becomes a “depraved mind” which takes delight in and gives “hearty approval” to all manner of iniquity.The United States of America, though founded with Christian values, has descended over the decades into a Romans 1 society. What God established—marriage, morality, gender, truth, life—is now vehemently rejected. And as we near a pivotal election, half or more of the electorate will vote for the Democratic Party, the loud and proud leaders of Romans 1, to normalize and expand their sinful “freedoms”.The Republican Party, on the other hand, is trailing a decade or two behind. Who would have thought that the GOP would abandon its former commitment to protect unborn humans in the womb? Who would think they would give up the fight for the family and go silent on unnatural “marriages” and child-rearing?But moving left is what has happened on these and other issues, such as illegal immigration, spending, and globalism. Donald Trump has led the Republican Party since becoming president in 2016. Now running for reelection in 2024, he has sniffed the wind in the country and concluded that to get elected, he needs to give our Romans 1 nation more of what it wants.And yet the alternative to Trump in our only-two-viable-parties system is Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who advocate for the ungodly and un-American ideology of Marxism. So what are Biblical Christians to think and do in this election and going forward?James White is the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a decades-old apologetic ministry based in Phoenix AZ and the host of the popular podcast called The Dividing Line. A skilled debater, anti-abortion advocate, seminary professor, and pastor at Apologia Church in AZ, James will join us this week and next on The Christian Worldview to discuss a wide range of issues, from how we arrived at this point in America to the compromise in the Evangelical Church to abortion to voting integrity to whether a Trump victory would hold back the Romans 1 tidal wave.We hope you gain from hearing from a sharp Christian who recognizes the reality of our moment and offers strong Biblical insight.

Send us a textGUEST: DARRELL HARRISON, pastor and co-host, Just Thinking podcastIt's been an unprecedented ascent for Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee for president. She dropped out early in the 2020 Democratic primary due to low poll numbers but was then chosen by Joe Biden to be his running mate after he promised to select a woman.And then late in her unremarkable term as vice president, Harris was chosen to be the party's nominee for president after Biden was forced out of the race due to cognitive decline.Aside from delegates at the recent Democrat National Convention, no one has directly voted for Kamala Harris to be nominee for president. No matter—half of the electorate are fully enthused at the prospect of “making history with the country's first black, female president”.Never mind that she was considered the most leftist member when she was a U.S. Senator from California. Never mind that she fully supports the killing of unborn babies all the way up to the time of birth. In fact, Kamala Harris and running mate Tim Walz are the highest ranking government officials to visit an abortion center.And she checks all the rest of the left's boxes—homosexual/transgender advocacy, illegal immigration, redistributive economic policies, pro-Palestine, and more.So how it is possible in a nation built on Christian values with individual liberties that a candidate who opposes that may very well be our next president?Darrell Harrison is on the pastoral staff Redeemer Bible Church in Gilbert, AZ and the co-host of the Just Thinking podcast. He will join us this weekend to better understand  Kamala Harris and why she garners so much support.We do this topic, not to tell you who to vote for, but to compare and contrast the candidate's policies against the standard of God's Word so your vote can be informed by a Biblical worldview.

Send us a Text Message.GUEST: SCOTT ANIOL, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 MinistriesThere is no more important issue and pursuit than worshipping God. It's more important than who will be our next president, more important than world peace, more important than your health, financial security, and whatever else we treasure.Scripture makes the primacy of worship clear:  King David prayed, “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominion, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all” (1 Chronicles 29:11).Paul wrote, “Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1 Cor 10:31).King Solomon exhorted, “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear [reverence, awe] God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)Psalms, the songbook of the Bible, closes this way: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!” (Psalm 150:6)God created man as a worshipful being. We can see this because everyone worships someone or something. If God isn't worshipped, a false god will be substituted—person, pleasure, possession, position, popularity, power, to name just a few.God, as Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Sovereign over all, deserves our worship. Our peace, purpose, and pleasure in life is directly proportional to how rightly and authentically we worship the Creator.Our guest this weekend is Scott Aniol, Executive VP and Editor-in-Chief G3 Ministries. G3, which stands for “Gospel—Grace—Glory”, is a Christian organization that aims to strengthen the local church through conferences, resources, online articles, podcasts, expository preaching workshops, biblical worship workshops, and local church-based curriculum for Sunday school and small groups.” Their next major conference is Oct. 3-5 in Oklahoma on the issue of Cessationism and whether the miraculous sign gifts are for today?Scott Aniol will join us to discuss “The Primacy of Worship”. He explains in a five-part column series corresponding to each of the “five solas” of the Reformation that worship is even more important than salvation, for salvation is the entry point to proper worship of God.This program aims to be a helpful for individual Christians and also the church, for worship includes but is far more encompassing than music alone.And since it's election season with the Democratic National Convention having just concluded in Chicago, we will discuss what is being worshipped by both parties and how to think about voting for imperfect candidates. ---------------------Let the Little Children Come by Scott AniolThe Primacy of Worship Scott Aniol's series on the 5 Solas of WorshipScripture AloneGrace Alone in Christ AloneFaith Alone

Whether termed social justice, wokeness, colonization, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), or Critical Theory, it has metastasized everywhere—government, education, media, military, even in Christian institutions and the church.It's based on the Marxist worldview that “oppressors” (such as white, Christian, heterosexual men) have “rigged the system” to oppress and victimize non-whites, non-Christians, women, immigrants, “indigenous peoples”, homosexuals, transgenders, and Palestinians.This is a politically and theologically left-wing ideology whose ultimate aim is to crumble Western Civilization and the Biblical principles upon which it's based in order to transform the country and the world into what they believe will be a united, socialist utopia where they do not “acknowledge God any longer” (Romans 1:28).But instead of unity, it foments division, entitlement, and the sin of partiality. But even worse for Christians and the church, social justice prioritizes the pursuit of social issues above the Great Commission and sidetracks many Christians and churches.Our guest this weekend, pastor Jeff Kliewer, knows all too well about social justice, the term Christians are particularly susceptible to because “God is a God of justice and so pursuing social justice is a Biblical and gospel issue.” Jeff lived and ministered for over a decade in the inner city of Philadelphia and came to the conclusion that social justice policies were not only misguided but actually cause and exacerbate problems rather than provide solutions.Jeff has written a strong and insightful book titled, Woke-Free Church: For the Deliverance of the Body of Christ from Social Justice Captivity that exposes just how insidious woke ideology is. The book struck such a nerve in his own denomination, the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA), that they removed his ordination.Journalist Megan Basham recently joined us to describe the Left's infiltration into Evangelicalism in light of her bestselling book, Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda. Now Jeff Kliewer joins us to describe what it is like to stand in opposition to the social justice movement within the church.

Send us a Text Message.This week, Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate for the Democrat presidential ticket.Christian journalist Julie Roys, the same one who has tried to slander John MacArthur out of ministry, posted an article on her website that characterized Walz as a “Minnesota Lutheran dad”.But is that an accurate description of Walz? What has he said and what has he done in office? We will open the program this week with a deeper examination of Walz' worldview.Later in the program, we will also air more interviews from our Road Trip to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter. Mark Looy, co-founder with Ken Ham and chief communications officer of Answers in Genesis (AIG), will join us to talk about God's hand in the development of the ministry.Hope you join us for a packed program!-------------------------Two New Store Resources:Shepherds for Sale by Meg Basham - on sale for $26.39Who Am I?

Send us a Text Message.GUEST: MEGAN BASHAM, author, Shepherds for SaleJesus warned, “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15-16).False teachers don't wear red suits and carry pitchforks. That would be too obvious. Far more effective for undermining the church, diverting believers, and hiding the gospel from unbelievers is for false teachers to hold respected positions at churches and Christian organizations and to be captivating speakers and writers.What's really effective is when they gain popularity while appearing to hold orthodox positions only to shift over time away from orthodoxy, leading their followers away.False teachers are nothing new. The Old Testament recounts the false prophets who led Israel into compromise and sin. The New Testament describes the constant battles of Christ and the apostles to “Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.” (2 Tim. 1:13).From the very beginning, Satan relentlessly attacks the truth of God's Word and he uses men and women to do it. Men and women who likely would never consider themselves to be false teachers but are nonetheless. “You will know them by their fruits”, meaning misinterpreting Scripture and practicing sin.Our guest this weekend is Christian reporter, Megan Basham. She is the author of a well-researched, well-documented, and illuminating new book, Shepherds for Sale—How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda.She describes how those on the political left are insidiously working to draw Evangelicals, the last remaining bulwark standing in the way of their socialist, Marxist vision, over to the Democrat side by giving large sums of money and reframing issues like climate change, race, immigration, pro-life, and homosexuality in language that appeals to Christians.None other than John MacArthur has written about Megan's book, Shepherds for Sale: “This may just be the single most important book on modern evangelicalism in recent years.”The question is: Will Evangelicals listen and make amends? Because the courage and Biblical model to exercise discernment, contend for sound doctrine, and name the names of those leading Christians astray has been sinfully lacking and shamed out of Christians to avoid being pegged as “divisive” and “unkind”.We have the book in our online store and we highly encourage you to get informed and give a copy to your own shepherd pastor.

Send us a Text Message.GUEST: MARTYN ILES, Executive CEO of Answers in Genesis and author, Who Am I?What are the first things you would say to describe yourself? One might answer, “I'm an American white male engineer.” Another might say, “I identify as a trans-woman feminist.”The question being asked is about identity. And the answers most everyone will give are based on self-perception, as if it's up to each one of us to determine who we are.While the question “Who Am I?” naturally leads to personal, subjective answers, the far better question is “Who does God say that I am?” That question will lead to an objective, truthful answer with which we can align our thinking and living.Our guest this weekend is Martyn Iles, who has written a very insightful and perceptive new book titled, Who Am I? Solving the Identity Puzzle.Previously the co-founder of a law firm specializing in religious freedom cases in Australia, Martyn is now the executive CEO of Answers in Genesis. He's a young man with a sharp Biblical worldview. He lays out eight puzzle pieces in his book that will ground one's identity in who God is and who He says we are, rather than the shifting sand of who we think we are or want to be.We hope you join us for this important discussion about one of the big questions of life.

Send us a Text Message.GUEST: KEN HAM, CEO and Co-Founder, Answers in GenesisWe just returned to Minnesota after a road trip to northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio to visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, both of which are Bible-based, gospel-proclaiming theme parks owned and operated by Answers in Genesis.Later in this weekend's program, Ken Ham, co-founder and CEO of Answers in Genesis, will join us to recount the history of God's guiding hand in how these two attractions came to be and why the early chapters of Genesis are foundational to…well, everything.While on this trip, we watched in horror, like many of you, at the assassination attempt on former President Trump at a campaign event in western Pennsylvania on Saturday, July 13. The God who “is sovereign over all”, including speeding bullets, chose to direct the bullet away from Trump's head by a mere quarter inch, wounding his ear instead. Positioned in the line of fire was Corey Comperatore, a husband and father and reportedly a Christ-follower, who took a bullet and was brought home to heaven. Two others were wounded.With US Secret Service and other law enforcement officers on site, it begs the question how the 20-year-old shooter was able to climb a ladder to the rooftop of a building just 160 yards away from Trump. Even more perplexing was how security allowed Trump on stage after being suspicious of the man hours earlier and rally-goers informing security about a man with a rifle on the roof minutes before shots rang out.I can see only two explanations for how this took place: either the Secret Service agency is unbelievably incompetent or someone (or several) with the governmental agency were intentionally attempting to assassinate former President Trump.We'll provide some reported details in the opening of the program and you can come to your own conclusion.-----------------Visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter - learn more or purchase tickets!

Send us a Text Message.My family and I are currently on a road trip to northern Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter, both of which are owned and operated by Answers in Genesis, the ministry founded and led by Ken Ham, which boldly proclaims the authority of God's Word and the gospel.We have been conducting interviews with Ken and several others during the visit that we are going to air next week on the program. In fact, later in today's program, we are going to air a portion of one interview with Bryan Osborne, an author and popular speaker for Answers in Genesis that we did on site at the Ark Encounter following his presentation on the global flood detailed in Genesis 6-9.Before we get to that, we are going to air an interview our longer-time listeners may remember from back in 2016 with Michael Joens, an animator and creator of Theo, a 15-episode series dedicated to teaching children God's Word and the gospel.Joens is a highly credentialed animator, having worked for studios such as Hanna Barbera, Filmation, Warner Brothers and Marvel Productions.Deuteronomy 6:6-7 says, “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.“What are “these words” that are to be on our hearts and taught diligently to our children?  Biblical doctrines—truths about God and how we are to live and worship Him.But how?  How can we teach biblical truths or doctrines to children?One excellent way is through an animated cartoon series called Theo.  Our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview is Michael Joens, the creator and director of Theo, a 15-episode animated cartoon series that we highly recommend and are offering to listeners.The production and teaching of biblical doctrines in Theo is of the highest quality and we encourage you to preview and order the series for your children and grandchildren.  You will enjoy and learn too!--------------------------Related LinksTHEO - Volume 1, "God's Love" for a donation of any amount.THEO - Full 5-DVD Set for a donation of $50 or moreCreation Museum and Ark Encounter

Send us a Text Message.This program is a rebroadcast from 07/01/23GUEST: SCOTT ANIOL, Professor of Pastoral Theology, Grace Bible Theological SeminaryAs we celebrate Independence Day, which commemorates the signing in 1776 of the Declaration of Independence, the founding document of our nation, when the original 13 colonies declared their autonomy from British colonial rule.John Adams was a signer of the Declaration, one of the framers of the U.S. Constitution (1789), and the second President of the United States. Likely not a born-again Christian but rather a deist (a believer in a supreme being who is uninvolved in the affairs of mankind), Adams wrote the following about the link between morality and civil society:“…should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation [pretending] towards one another…which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practicing iniquity and extravagance…while it is rioting in rapine [violent seizure of property] and insolence [rude behavior], this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”We are seeing John Adams' warning prove true in America today. We are at a low point in our nation when laws are passed granting the “freedom” to kill a child anytime during the nine months of pregnancy, when the “degrading passions” of homosexuality are normalized and codified as “marriage”, when adults parade openly and lewdly down the streets in front of children, and when children are led into the sin of cross-dressing and physical mutilation in the name of “gender affirming care”.Wicked depravity is now tolerated and affirmed in our nation and the predictable results are division, confusion, chaos, violence, harm, and hatred.So what are Christians to do, who like Lot living in Sodom “felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds” (2 Peter 2:8)?Most Christians would say that our nation desperately needs to reclaim our Biblical foundations and establish laws and policies based on the truths of Christianity. But how would that take place? Is that Scripture's call for Christians and the church to work to “Christianize” government?This weekend on The Christian Worldview, Scott Aniol, editor-in-chief of G3 Ministries and professor of pastoral theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, joins us to discuss “Christian Nationalism”, a term that means different things to different people.To some Christians, it means electing representatives who advocate for biblical principles in government. Other believers see it as a biblical mandate to work toward Christian rule over government and all institutions in society. While non-believers view it as religious extremists trying to institute a theocracy and oppress non-believers.Join us for a discussion on Christian Nationalism and what Bible says about Christians and government.
