Send us a textGUEST: LIZ COLLIN, Journalist for Alpha NewsThe Christian Worldview has been broadcasting from the Minneapolis area of Minnesota for over 20 years. The city and state were once known for its natural resources, the forested and agricultural regions and “10,000 lakes,” along with its citizens being mostly descendants of Scandinavian countries with a cultural ethos known as “Minnesota Nice.”While there has always been a significant conservative and Christian presence in Minnesota (Billy Graham's ministry was once based here and pastor John Piper is from Minneapolis), the state has leaned liberal for half a century. For example, Ronald Reagan won 49 of 50 states in the 1984 presidential election—you can probably guess the state he didn't.In the last 20 years or so, Minnesota has moved from liberal to radically left. It has declared itself a “sanctuary state” for abortion and transgender mutilation surgeries and treatments. It is known for high taxes to fund liberal welfare policies and immigrants from third world nations like Somalia. It gained international notoriety for the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers and the resulting burning of the city by rioters. It is led by far left politicians like Governor Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, and many more with the same worldview.Just recently, Minneapolis again became the flashpoint of the biggest national news story after a 23-year-old independent journalist from Utah named Nick Shirley came to town on the tip that the Somali Muslim immigrant community, of which there are an estimated 100,000 in the state, are operating the largest scale welfare fraud in history by setting up fake child daycare centers, nutrition and autism services, transportation services, amongst other things, and then billing the state for services that weren't rendered to the tune of an estimated $9 billion. This funded not just lavish lifestyles but Islamic jihadists in Somalia and potentially the Democrat Party.As the enormity of the fraud story was being exposed, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers entered Minnesota to find and deport illegal immigrants. Not surprisingly, leftist protesters interfered with ICE agents, with one protester being killed after she used her vehicle to block ICE vehicles and then drove toward an officer who shot her dead. Major protests from the left across the country are ongoing.Liz Collin, a Minnesota native and multi-Emmy-Award-winning investigative reporter for Alpha News, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss what is taking place in Minnesota and how it is a critical warning for the rest of the country when leftism and Islamic immigrants hold power.

In this video, I explore a survey that was sent to over a thousand pastors and asked them about their views on Calvinism, as well as asking them to list their favorite pastors. No surprise, John Piper was the number one mentioned pastor of greatest influence for all pastors in the survey. Younger Christian leaders lean heavily in the Calvinistic direction, and elderly Christian leaders (those over 65 years of age) lean heavily in the Arminian direction.#jesus #apologetics #Christianity #Calvinism #johnpiper #reformed #scienceandfaith #christianpodcast --------------------------------LINKS---------------------------------Science Faith & Reasoning podcast link: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/science-faith-reasoning Coffee with John Calvin Podcast link (An SFR+ Production hosted by Daniel Faucett) https://open.spotify.com/show/5UWb8SavK17HO8ERorHPYN Learning the Fundaments (An SFR+ Production hosted by Shepard Merritt): https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/shep304/ -----------------------------CONNECT------------------------------https://www.scifr.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sciencefaithandreasoning X: https://twitter.com/SFRdaily
