How many times have you heard the phrase: settled science. It's been used in regard to man-caused climate change, the use of COVID masks, social distancing, and more. We're told that the debate is over and we must act now because if we don't, there will be grave consequences. If you resist or even dare to ask probing questions, you're labeled a science denier. How should a Christian respond when confronted like this? Joining Jim for discussion on this issue was Jay Seegert. Jay is the keynote speaker and managing director of The Starting Point Project. He is the author of Creation to Christ, Creation & Evolution, and Faith is Not a Four-Letter Word. First of all, what is science? Jay explained that in the Bible, science means knowledge, but it doesn't mean wisdom. He went on to note that most major areas of science were birthed out of the Christian community. For example: antiseptic surgery, calculus, chemistry, computer science, electrodynamics, fluid mechanics, galactic astronomy, gas dynamics, genetics, hydraulics, hydrostatics, oceanography, optical mineralogy, paleontology, physical astronomy, thermodynamics, thermokinetics, the scientific method, and many more were founded by Bible-believing Christians. The founders of these fields of study took it for granted that God created everything and since God is a God of order they expected to see order in His creation. So a simplistic definition of science would be the search for explanations in the natural world around us to see how it functions. In other words, what did God do to get these things to work.

Sitting in for Jim Schneider, Dalton Windsor continued the tradition of presenting news stories often left uncovered by the mainstream media. Here's a sample of what he presented: --A new poll conducted found that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, has a significant lead in the current field of five candidates, attaining 50% of the vote regardless of his opponents. --According to one of the advisors from the Democratic Socialists of America, Zohran Mamdani is planning to turn New York City into an alphabet nirvana so that anyone in the U.S. who wants gender affirming care can get it for free. --JihadWatch is reporting that Zohran Mamdani is preparing to enable a new wave of anti-semitic violence. He has proposed that the NYPD should not respond to hate crimes, but instead such cases should be handled by social workers. --Performing abortions in churches? Arguing for dismantling the family unit? Comparing marriage to prostitution? These topics were part of a round-table discussion called, "The Left and the Family" which was part of a socialism conference that took place back in July in Chicago. Dalton provided audio from the event. --President Trump announced that Apple will invest 600 billion dollars in the U.S. over the next four years. --Newly released Census Bureau data shows all income groups in America advanced more during President Trump's first term than they did during the Biden administration. --Cambodia has announced that it is nominating President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize after he helped bring the Cambodia/Thailand border conflict to a cease-fire agreement.

Dr. Erwin Lutzer spoke at the Waukesha Expo for the VCY America Rally on March 18th, 2023. His topic was We Will Not Bow. Dr. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the senior pastor for 36 years. He's the speaker on the radio programs Running to Win and Songs in the Night. He is a speaker and an award-winning author on several books. Some of his titles include The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent, Life Changing Bible Verses You Should Know, We Will Not Be Silenced, No Reason to Hide and The Power of a Clear Conscience. Dr. Lutzer began by mentioning Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn who told an interesting story. Solzhenitsyn said that in 1937 a speech was given by someone who extolled the virtues and the greatness of Stalin. When he finished, everyone rose to clap. Solzhenitsyn described how this went on for several minutes. Under such circumstances, who's going to sit down first? After 11 minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory stopped his clapping and sat down. Everyone else then stopped as well and sat down. That same night the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for 10 years. During his interrogation he was told never to be the first one to stop clapping. Dr. Lutzer said, "How does freedom die? Solzhenitsyn would say with thunderous applause; everybody clapping at the Soviet system." Dr. Lutzer then asked if America is being "sovietized"? Victor Davis Hanson asked that question and he indicated that in the Soviet Union it wasn't merit that enabled people to climb the ladder. Instead, it was loud enthusiasm for the communist system.

David & Barbara Leeman founded Hosanna Hymnals to preserve and introduce classic hymns of the church to a new generation. Barbara taught private piano and classroom music and served 23 years at a Christian school in Texas. David served over 40 years as minister of music and worship at churches in California, Oregon, Illinois & Texas. They are co-authors of Hosannas Forever: Hymns of Heaven and our Pilgrimage. To open the program, Jim noted the appreciation so many VCY listeners have for the traditional, sacred music played on the network. Such music is often comprised of hymns and spiritual songs that direct our hearts to the Lord as we praise Him for who He is and His wonderful works. So while Christian music can cover a broad range of doctrinal and theological topics, unfortunately in the church at large, hymnody has fallen out of favor in our day. Why is this? It may be because we have it so easy in our day whereas hymns were often written out of trials, suffering, longing and need. There's the fact that Christian music today is often derived primarily from the writer's emotions. Then there's the factor of commercialism. As these factors have affected Christian music, guess what got left out? It's the topic of heaven. Review this broadcast and find out what your personal and corporate worship may be missing as David and Barbara describe the tremendous blessing that comes from singing the hymns of heaven!

This video reflects on a monument in Kansas City dedicated to the "Pioneer Mother," emphasizing the enduring significance of faith and unwavering trust in God. Drawing from the biblical narrative of Ruth, it highlights the commitment to follow and share in God's blessings, even amidst hardship and the unknown. The reflection connects this historical commemoration, dating back to 1927, to the broader Christian heritage of the nation, suggesting a quiet but persistent influence on the shaping of the American landscape. It presents a thoughtful consideration of faith as a foundational element in the pioneering spirit and the establishment of a homeland.

In the news you'll sometimes hear of the Federal Reserve and the battle over the setting of interest rates. According to the Federal Reserve website, they state that they are the central bank of the U.S., providing the nation with a safe, flexible, and stable monetary and financial system.

After all, our guest has said that you can't understand what's going wrong in our country without an understanding of the Federal Reserve.

Brad is also President of the International Right to Life Federation and a frequent international speaker and lecturer on abortion and related life issues. He is the host of Life Issues, a daily radio commentary, and also co-host of the weekly Straight Talk on Life Issues.

Victor has had a passion for pro-life since a young age while working in state House and Senate campaigns in Missouri. He has a degree in Political Science with a dual focus on American government and Constitutional law. Those who listen regularly to Crosstalk know that the matter of life is one we regularly address. The sanctity of life is promoted throughout the scriptures and is critical for us to address from conception to natural death. There are many that will complain about the violence in our society today while at the same time give their full blessing to violence in the womb. We thank God that 3 years ago we saw Roe v. Wade struck down. Most recently in the One Big Beautiful Bill, funding is being pulled from Planned Parenthood. We know there is a court challenge to stop this, but its passage is inevitable. Over 30 Planned Parenthood Centers have announced their closure this year and there are more to come. In so many states babies continue to be targeted in the womb and tragically, according to numberofabortions.com, we are approaching nearly 67 million lives lost.

The talk by Dr. Clayton Shumpert explores the profound responsibility Christians have to share the gospel, framing the withholding of this message as a form of "murder by neglect" akin to withholding life-saving water. Drawing parallels to historical tragedies and contrasting the generosity of the Sea of Galilee with the barrenness of the Dead Sea, the message emphasizes the importance of a mission-minded church, highlighting its potential to build faith, fellowship, and financial stability while ultimately securing a future reward and witnessing the fruit of labor as converts express gratitude for the life-giving message received.

Usama Dakdok is the Founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He is the speaker on the daily radio broadcast Revealing the Truth About Islam. Born and raised in Egypt, Usama learned about Islam just as every other student does in a Muslim country. He also studied for a university degree in Egypt which included the study of Sharia, which is Islamic law. Islam is pushing for world domination. Consider what is happening in France, the UK, Montreal, Canada, and Greece, and also what is being witnessed right here in the United States. A strong contender in the race for mayor of America's largest city, New York City, is a Muslim man who has called for the defunding of police, the very system of public protection to uphold the law, and has refused to condemn "globalize the intifada." This is in a city that has the largest concentration of Jews in the U.S. We also see another Muslim rising up vying to be mayor of Minneapolis. As a matter of fact, just 9 months ago, Voice of America ran a story titled, "Muslim candidates surge in local elections in US." CBN recently ran a story in which they quoted Israel's Minister of Diaspora Affairs, Amichai Chikli, who said, "I think it's very important for Americans to understand that there is a plan of the Muslim Brotherhood. They have a vision, in 100 years, to make America a Muslim state." And yet with the trajectory we are presently on, it will take far less than 100 years for this to happen. We've got many stories to bring to your attention today, all which focus on Islam's push for world domination.

John Schneider is extended and another 3rd baseman not named Eugenio Suarez is off the board. Mike Morris, Seahawks DE sits down with Ian to preview the season and discuss the defensive personnel this season. He also dives into the veterans in camp right now and how much rivalries matter. Ian compares the last five years of John Schneider and Jerry Dipoto. While they might look the same on paper, there's quite a large difference. Danny O'Neil, The Dang Apostrophe! Danny is LIVE at Seahawks training camp and reacts to John Schneider's contract extension, which he deems warranted. This is also only the second year where Schneider is the main man in charge. Danny maintains they have to find their unquestioned quarterback, and he might be on the roster right now. Ian and Danny discuss the changes we've seen over the years in training camp, especially going back to the Jim Mora era. When looking at Jerry Dipoto's tenure, Danny contends that he's done the best he could with what he's been given - and the consistency shouldn't be overlooked. However, perhaps Jerry should speak as little as John Schneider does. Danny weighs in on the NBA's continued absence in Seattle, why the Sonics left in the first place and why it's taking so long for their return. Corbin Smith, Emerald City Spectrum joins.

Pastor Randy Zeman is the Senior Pastor of Freedom in Christ Assembly in Baraboo, WI. Jerome Ormson is an evangelist. Jordan Cernek is a former teacher in the Argyle School District in Lafayette County, WI who was let go for not using correct pronouns. He is now a bi-vocational pastor ministering to the Nora Community Church and the McConnell Community Church. In Romans chapter 1 starting at verse 21 we read, "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools," In verses 24 and 25 we see, "Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator..." Then in verses 26 and 27 we read, "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly..." Finally in verse 28 we read, "...God gave them over to a reprobate mind..." This is exactly what is happening in our culture today! In this program we were introduced to two pastors who are concerned about what's happening in their community. This is followed by a person who was let go for not using proper pronouns.

Evangelist Matt Galvan is engaged in full-time evangelistic work. He travels across the country speaking in churches and camp settings in an effort to reach young and old with the Gospel. Christian teens are impacted and influenced by a number of sources. Certainly, they have guidance from their parents, grandparents and their family. There is the influence coming from their church and youth group. But there are also influences brought on by peer pressure, the internet, social media, random popups, the gaming industry, television and streaming services, dating relationships, music, entertainment and of course the educational system. Sometimes the natural trend is to assume everything is okay with your son or daughter or with your grandchildren and to believe there's nothing to be concerned about. That is, until something occurs and you say, "Oh my, how could this have happened? I never expected this." Today, we don't want you to assume that everything is just "A-OK" even if you homeschool or send your children to a Christian school. Do you really know what your teen is thinking? Are you aware of the struggles they may be having internally? Are you aware of the challenges they face? Sometimes we tend to cast statistics aside and say, "That couldn't be my son or daughter." Our guest today ministers to many teens across the country, especially Christian teens. He has some information that should cause our ears to perk up. He may encourage you, but he also has some significantly disturbing finds.

An old hotel, a small town, and the birthplace of the Gideons in Boscobel, Wisconsin The narrative recounts the serendipitous encounter of two businessmen who, through a shared practice of nightly Bible reading, initiate a global ministry dedicated to distributing God's Word. Drawing from a historical anecdote originating in Boscobel, Wisconsin, the story highlights the power of simple acts of faith and fellowship to spark movements of significant impact. It emphasizes the widespread availability of Scripture through the Gideons' ministry, demonstrating a commitment to providing access to the Bible in hotels and communities worldwide. The account serves as an encouragement to recognize the potential for faith-inspired initiatives to flourish from humble beginnings and bear fruit on a grand scale. Ultimately, the story underscores the enduring importance of Scripture and its accessibility to all.
