Summary: In this conversation, Michael Easley and Dr. Calvin Beisner discuss the intersection of faith, environmental stewardship, and poverty. They explore Beisner's journey into stewardship, the founding of the Cornwall Alliance, and the importance of prioritizing human needs in environmental discussions. They also touch on the recent publication of Megan Basham's book, 'Shepherds for Sale,' which critiques the evangelical environmental movement and the influence of money in faith-based organizations. The dialogue emphasizes the need for accountability and critical engagement within the Christian community.  Dr. Beisner and Dr. Easley discuss the importance of critical thinking and reading in developing a Christian worldview. They emphasize the need for Christians to engage deeply with scripture and literature to sharpen their minds. The discussion also delves into the green agenda, exploring the implications of environmentalism from a biblical perspective, including the trade-offs involved in energy production and the impact on the poor. Takeaways: Human beings should be the top priority of all life. Poverty is a tragic reality that many have never seen. The principles of the Cornwall Declaration remain applicable today. Public figures should be held accountable for their statements. Critique should be expected in public discourse. Discipline in thought is essential for Christians. Logic is a vital tool in understanding faith. We need to pay attention to sharpening our thinking. Critical thinking skills are lost in most education. Social media contributes to a decline in reading. Reading a real Bible is essential for understanding scripture. Engaging with literature enhances critical thinking. The green agenda often overlooks human welfare. Trade-offs exist in environmental policies. Fossil fuels are crucial for modern life. Rising energy costs disproportionately affect the poor.

In these dark times, we must fight evil with the most powerful weapons we have.The Rosary is foremost among them.Join the Great Rosary Campaign today at: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com.The Great Rosary Campaign is a yearlong mission for the conversion of cultural leaders. We will announce a weekly call to pray every Sunday for specific fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics.THIS WEEK of the Great Rosary Campaign we are praying for Megan Basham, the well-known evangelical writer and journalist for the Daily Wire, not only for her conversion, but for the healing of her cancer.The SUGGESTED PENANCE this week is attending Daily Mass with Megan in your prayers.Countless Saints and Popes have told us that the Rosary is incredibly powerful for three things in particular:1. Keeping the Faith2. Moral renovation3. Conversions of non-CatholicsThe Great Rosary Campaign is also based on several biblical themes and principles.First, PRAY FOR OUR BRETHREN. “Pray for one another…” (Jas. 5:16). “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).Second, PRAY FOR OUR ENEMIES. “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 5:43-44).Third, PRAY FOR ALL MEN, PARTICULARLY LEADERS AND THOSE IN AUTHORITY. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, or kings and all who are in high positions…” (1 Tim. 2:1-2).Fourth, GOING INTO BATTLE WITH THE ARK. When the ancient Israelites came to Jericho, God didn't tell them to besiege the city. Instead, He told them to march around it with the Ark of the Covenant seven times, and on the seventh the walls would fall. We will now "march" in prayer for seven days with the New Ark of the Covenant, Our Lady, through the Rosary. We pray in hope that on the seventh day, a day especially devoted to Our Lady (Saturday), extraordinary graces of conversion will be given to those we are praying for.Fifth, EVANGELISM AND APOLOGETICS = LOVE + ARGUMENTS + PRAYER + PENANCE. Ultimately it is God who reveals Himself to a soul, and empowers them to say "yes" to Him by His grace. He chooses to use us, but He does not have to. We must remember that as we evangelize and defend the Faith, our arguments will be fruitless unless informed by love (charity), and reinforced by prayer and penance.Sixth, RETURNING GOOD FOR EVIL. “Do not return evil for evil, or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary bless, for to this you have been called, that you may obtain a blessing" (1 Pet. 3:9).Sign up to take part in the Great Rosary Campaign today: www.GreatRosaryCampaign.com

It's Thursday, February 20th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 74% rise in hate speech in India targeting Christians and Muslims While India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with President Donald Trump last Wednesday to discuss the threat of increased tariffs between the two countries, the Center for the Study of Organized Hate found a 74% rise in hate speech incidents last year in India compared to 2023. About 10% of the 1,165 incidents targeted Christians — a population that makes up just 2.3% of the population — while more than 98% of cases targeted Muslims, either alone or together with Christians, reports International Christian Concern. In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated Me before it hated you. … Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” Judge gives Dept. of Government Efficiency massive win On Tuesday, a federal judge refused to immediately block Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency from accessing government data systems or participating in worker layoffs, reports The Guardian. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, found that there were legitimate questions about the billionaire's authority, but said there was not enough evidence of grave legal harm to justify a temporary restraining order. The decision came in reaction to a February 13th lawsuit filed by 14 attorneys general in Democratic states challenging the Department of Government Efficiency's authority to access sensitive government data. But the Trump administration has maintained that layoffs are ordered by agency heads. Biden's EPA advisor admits $50 billion ‘insurance policy' against Trump In an undercover video that was released last December, Project Veritas revealed that the Environmental Protection Agency was frantically doling out billions of dollars before then President-elect Donald Trump took office on January 20th, 2025. The video revealed that Brent Efron, Special Advisor for Implementation at the EPA, was having drinks with a undercover Project Veritas reporter, bragging about how much hard-earned taxpayer money he was doling out to liberal climate groups. Listen. EFRON: “We've given out, like, tens of billions of dollars.” REPORTER: “The EPA has?” EFRON: “Like last year, like $50 billion.” REPORTER: “$50 million?” EFRON: “No. billion dollars. Billion with a B.” REPORTER: “$50 billion?” EFRON: “Yes, for climate things.” Shockingly, Efron described what they were doing at the EPA leading up to Trump's January 20th, 2025 inauguration as throwing gold bars off the Titanic. EFRON: “It truly feels like we're on the Titanic, and we're throwing, like, gold bars off the back end.” REPORTER: “Does it really?” EFRON: “Yeah.” REPORTER: “It's gotta feel weird.” EFRON: “It's weird. I mean, it's it's not good vibes. It's not good. I mean, everyone's very sad.” REPORTER: “Where are the gold bars going to?” EFRON: “Non-profits, states, tribes, cities.” REPORTER: “Anything, like, in the news that I would know of?” EFRON: “Not yet.” The undercover Project Veritas reporter wanted to know what would happen if the Trump people discovered what the Biden appointees were doing with the money. REPORTER: “What happens if they try to stop it? They can?” EFRON: “When they come in, if we haven't gotten out the door, then they can stop it.” REPORTER: “You've got like two months. If they don't get it out by a certain date. What's that date?” EFRON: “It's the inauguration, the 20th.  It's noon on the 20th of January.” REPORTER: “You can work right down to the minute?” EFRON: “It's probably like a little after noon. Yeah.” REPORTER: “Hey, throw a couple billion here or there.” EFRON: “It's until the Trump people come in and tell us we can no longer give out money.” REPORTER: “Wow!” Efron also said, “We gave them [the nonprofits] the money because… it was an insurance policy against Trump winning. Because they aren't [a government agency], they're safer from Republicans taking the money away.” Trump's EPA Administrator found $20 billion siphoned away by Biden's people Lee Zeldin, Trump's Environmental Protection Agency Administrator, was horrified by this revelation, reports The Western Journal. ZELDIN: “An extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were tossing gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions of your tax dollars out the door before Inauguration Day. The gold bars were tax dollars, and ‘tossing them off the Titanic' meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it.” To his credit, Zeldin was able to recover $20 billion of our taxpayer money, according to his Monday video. ZELDIN: “Fortunately, my awesome team at EPA has found the gold bars. Shockingly, roughly $20 billion of your tax dollars were parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA. This scheme was the first of its kind in EPA history, and it was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight. “Even further, this pot of $20 billion was awarded to just eight entities that were then responsible for doling out your money to [Non Governmental Organizations] and others, at their discretion, with far less transparency. Just under $7 billion was sent to one entity called the Climate United Fund.” Zeldin explained what he intends to do now. ZELDIN: “Here's my position as EPA Administrator. The financial agent agreement with the bank needs to be instantly terminated, and the bank must immediately return all of the ‘gold bars' that the Biden administration tossed off the Titanic. “EPA needs to reassume responsibility for all of these funds. We will review every penny that has gone out the door. I will be referring this matter to the Inspector General's office, and we'll work with the Justice Department as well.” Presbyterian Church in America repents of helping illegals stay And finally, The Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) recently issued a statement repenting for guidance on one of its websites that advised illegal immigrants how to avoid detainment by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, reports The Christian Post. After it went viral on X last week, the conservative Presbyterian denomination deleted a resource page titled "Refugee & Immigrant Ministry for Churches: Help Immigrants Facing 2025 Policy Changes.” It was published in January by Mission to North America, a subsidiary of the PCA. Megan Basham, author of Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded Truth for A Leftist Agenda, tweeted, “The verbiage of this document from the [Presbyterian Church in America] is overall emotionally manipulative, showing no respect for U.S. immigration law. It assumes that the only way you can love your immigrant neighbor is by helping him continue to remain in the country illegally.” After the guidance was deleted, Mission to North America Director Irwyn Ince issued an extensive statement of repentance. He wrote, "We affirm that it is our Christian duty to obey the lawful commands of the civil magistrate and be subject to their authority (Romans 13:1-4; 1 Peter 2:13-14). To counsel otherwise is a sin. We confess that we fell short of our Biblical and Confessional standard. We repent and apologize.” Indeed, 1 Peter 2:13-14 does say, “Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human authority: whether to the emperor, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 20th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

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.

Why are so many Christians being led astray by statements like "abortion is healthcare," "trans women are women," and "love is love"? Conservative commentator and Christian author Allie Beth Stuckey joins Frank to talk about the inspiration behind her brand new book, 'Toxic Empathy', which explores real-life examples of how compassion has been weaponized against Christians, ultimately shaming evangelicals into supporting and celebrating policies that violate the Christian worldview.During their conversation, Frank and Allie will answer questions like:What are the five main issues that Allie tackles in the book?How is toxic empathy causing Christians to become blind to the false narratives that are being promoted through secular media?What events awakened Allie to the reality of toxic empathy invading evangelicalism?How has the social justice movement distorted God's view of justice?What unique approach did Allie take in introducing each chapter that will help readers show compassion towards the stories mentioned in the book?Resources mentioned during the episode:Allie's Book: ToxicEmpathy.comAllie's Website: AllieBethStuckey.comHelpful Resources and Local Voting Guide: VoteYourFaith.netDoes Jesus Trump Your Politics? https://bit.ly/48eRJzPIs It Wrong for Christians to Call Out Shepherds? https://bit.ly/3zTC7W3Shepherds for Sale with Megan Basham: https://bit.ly/4hdo5Py

That's why Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham returns to talk more about her book 'Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda', which exposes how prominent leaders in our pulpits have adopted policies that are directly opposed to the Christian faith.

Left-wing billionaires have been pouring money into churches and ministries to sway evangelical voters to back progressive policies. What impact are powerful figures like George Soros having on American Christians and how they vote? Today's episode features an interview with Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham about her new book, Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda and the secular progressive influences infiltrating churches. Get the facts first on Morning Wire.

Could your favorite celebrity pastor or your church's leadership compromise the truth in exchange for cultural approval (and a BIG paycheck)? Many prominent evangelical leaders have become more and more outspoken in questioning the Bible's clear teachings on political issues like natural marriage and life in the womb, leading to confusion and concern about their underlying motives. Are these pastors and leaders genuinely well-meaning, misled, and misguided, or are they progressively embracing the "woke" agenda for money and power? This week, Frank invites Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham on the podcast to discuss her new book 'Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda', which investigates how leftist billionaires have convinced some of today's pastors and Christian leaders to stray from the Word of God to sow seeds of discord among the Body of Christ. During their talk, Frank and Megan will answer questions like:When and why did churches begin receiving funds from people like George Soros and the Rockefeller Foundation?Did evangelical leaders like Russell Moore, Beth Moore, and Ed Stetzer trade the truth for a leftist agenda?Is it compassionate for Christians to advocate for open borders?How did Christianity Today react to the overturning of Roe v. Wade?How have well-known evangelicals weakened the political impact of Christian conservatives?Why must Christians be clear about what is and is not sin?This podcast episode will shock you as Megan blows the lid off corruption in our churches and even conservative seminaries, naming names and exposing how some of our modern era's most influential preachers and teachers have drifted off into doctrinal error, sometimes even with good intentions. Be sure to pre-order a copy of 'Shepherds for Sale' and tune in to the midweek podcast episode where Megan and Frank return to discuss how these leftist agendas are impacting the church curriculum and the fight for life.To view the entire VIDEO PODCAST, join our CrossExamined private community.
