Donald Trump's political problems are getting harder to ignore — and his options overseas may be shrinking just as fast. A brand-new Reuters/Ipsos poll has Trump's approval at just 33 percent, the lowest of his presidency, with 64 percent disapproving and a remarkable 80 percent of Americans now expecting the Iran war to drag on. Meanwhile, Trump's promised quick resolution with Iran looks increasingly elusive: the negotiating period has expired without a deal, the Strait of Hormuz remains a dangerous sticking point, and Trump is escalating his rhetoric even as his practical choices for ending the conflict appear increasingly limited. We'll look at a president boxed in abroad, battered in the polls at home, and running out of room to maneuver on both fronts. Former CNN anchor Jim Acosta may be pulling a trick from Johnny Carson's Carnac the Magnificent when it comes to predictions. Acosta recently guessed that President Trump would check out of the White House early, before his term is up. Acosta cited trump's issues with cognitive decline, a disasterous job on affordability and the possibility that the Democrats could sweep the midterm elections as reasons for Trump's growing frustration. Acosta also said a major event could force Trump out, like if he is caught overtly trying to steal the midterm elections. Military analysts think a big catastrophe forcing Trump out might not be far off if he continues with his Iran plans. We will put it to our Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. Find David Cay Johnston: https://substack.com/@davidcayjohnston https://www.dcreport.org/ Christian nationalists are gaining more of a foothold in America with Trump‘s Religious Liberty task force and the promotion of laws that would force public schools to display the 10 Commandments in classrooms.

The ACLU has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Texas's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in every public-school classroom.This is not a technical dispute about wall space. It is a fight over whether a free nation can still acknowledge the moral foundations that shaped it — or whether those foundations must be treated as contraband in the institutions that form the next generation.Texas did not require prayer or conversion. It simply placed one of the most influential moral documents in human history where children spend their days. The ACLU's response was immediate and predictable: this is an establishment of religion and must be stopped.In this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings examines:• Why the Ten Commandments are not sectarian property• The sixty-year pattern of pushing religious expression to the margins under the banner of “neutrality”• What a culture that treats “Thou shalt not steal” and “Honor thy father and thy mother” as optional eventually produces• The deeper project behind the lawsuit — and why it should concern everyone, religious or not• Why this case is about far more than one Texas statuteThe Ten Commandments have outlasted empires, ideologies, and legal fashions. The only real question is whether this country still has the confidence to let the next generation see them.If this conversation matters to you, please leave a five-star review, share the episode, and subscribe so you never miss an installment of The Right Side.Donate to the show here: www.DougBillings.usWe're in this together.Believe it.For the Republic!#TenCommandments #Texas #ACLU #SupremeCourt #ReligiousLiberty #PublicSchools #MoralFoundations #TheRightSide #DougBillings #ForTheRepublicSupport the show

What is the history of religious liberty—and what happens when a society loses sight of the principles that made religious freedom possible?In this conversation Greg is joined by Alabama Supreme Court Associate Justice Will Sellers to discuss his latest historical article on the evolution of religious liberty. Justice Sellers traces the development of freedom of conscience from the Reformation 500 years ago to the First Amendment and the American founding.The conversation explores why government cannot dictate what people believe, how religious liberty shaped the American experiment, and why the founders viewed faith and morality as essential to a free society. Greg and Justice Sellers also discuss the role of the Ten Commandments in public life, the limits of religious liberty, the importance of assimilation, and the relationship between Christian principles, law, and civic virtue.They also discuss Alabama Supreme Court Justice Greg Cook's nomination to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama and what his judicial experience could mean for Alabama's legal and business communities.

A government should act as a shield for religious liberty, parental rights, and religious autonomy.

Greg tackles several important issues facing Alabama and the nation in this Friday edition of Priority Talk.The discussion begins with concerns over the Protect College Sports Act and whether ambiguous language could undermine state laws protecting women's sports. Greg examines warnings from Alliance Defending Freedom and urges listeners to pay attention as the Senate considers the legislation.He also discusses the collapse of the Federal Farm Bill, including provisions involving hemp-derived THC products, SNAP benefits, and a proposed nationwide ban on greyhound racing. Greg then looks at a Virginia legal battle over controversial vanity license plates and the larger First Amendment questions surrounding government speech.The program then takes a deeper look at commercialized gambling, including who ultimately pays for its social and economic costs. Greg makes the case for the principle of “no taxation by exploitation” and argues that gambling revenues can come at a significant cost to families, taxpayers, and communities.Finally, Greg examines a controversial debate in Texas involving the proposed expansion of an Islamic center and plays powerful testimony from an Iranian Christian refugee who says he experienced Sharia law firsthand.

In Episode 4 of The Conversation, Brad Cauley continues his conversation with Amireh Al-Haddad, Director of Public Affairs and Religious Liberty for the Southern Union Conference, about religious liberty, church engagement, the United Nations, ADRA, humanitarian work, and the importance of staying faithful while remaining present in public conversations.Together, they discuss why the Seventh-day Adventist Church engages with public institutions, how that engagement differs from compromise, and why having a voice matters for protecting religious freedom around the world. They also address questions about humanitarian service, church organization, unity, and how members can process difficult topics with prayer, patience, and a commitment to mission.The Conversation is a Carolina Conference podcast featuring thoughtful discussions on topics relevant to pastors, church members, and the wider Carolina Conference constituency.

It's Tuesday, August 4, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed and Adam McManus Amnesty Int'l apologized for smearing Christians and pro-lifers Some good news on the Christian persecution front today.   Amnesty International has officially apologized for publishing a report that accused 117 Christian and pro-life groups in the UK as “anti-rights.”   In the apology, Amnesty admitted the report “should never have been published” and fell “significantly short” of its standards for research. The report had attacked the Evangelical Alliance, Christian Concern, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, The Christian Institute, The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association UK as well as crisis pregnancy centers. Oil is slowing through Strait of Hormuz and the Bab-al-Mandab strait Transporting oil and other goods out of the Middle East has become a real problem. Now the problem has reached its highest crisis point since the wars in the region fired up in the spring.  BBC reports the situation is far worse now, with Iranian pressure at the Strait of Hormuz, and Yemen Houthi pressure put on the Bab-al-Mandab Strait into the Red Sea. Only 10-15 ships a day pass through the Strait of Hormuz. That's about one-eighth the normal shipping flow. And the Bab-Al-Mandab Strait is only getting about 25-30 ships a day. That's about half the normal flow.  Saudi Arabia and Iran's economies both took a hit Saudi Arabia's economy took a 4.8% hit in the 2nd Quarter of this year. Iran is looking at a 5.4% decline for the year, according to International Monetary Fund numbers. Iran is also dealing with 68% inflation this year. Drought and fires impacting Europe God's hand has fallen hard on Western Europe. The United Kingdom experienced its driest July in nearly 200 years. Much of the nation is in drought. France recently battled its largest recorded wildfire, following months of drought and extreme heat. Parts of the Danube River have dropped to the lowest levels in 30 years. Italy's River Po has also registered a historic low. And Germany's Rhine River is at its lowest level since 2018. And fires in Spain and France took down over a million acres, resulting in the destruction of about 300 structures. Syrians & Haitians, here temporarily, were supposed to self deport Monday Here in the United States, 356,000 U.S. immigrants on Temporary Protected Status were ordered to leave by August 3rd. Presently this affects Syrians and Haitians, but may eventually impact another 1,000,000 immigrants from other countries.   This comes after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued last month backed the Trump administration's policy to end Temporary Protected Status. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security website is encouraging self-deportation, offering free travel, and a $2,600 bonus to get them out. New York is pushing assisted suicide and the nuns are pushing back The state of New York is pushing medically-assisted suicide, and a group of Catholic nuns are protesting. The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and Infirm and the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne have been granted a reprieve by a federal district court. They will not have to counsel terminally ill patients or assist them with medically assisted suicide, at least for now, according to the Beckett Fund for Religious Liberty. Christian physician assistant vindicated for opposing transgender insanity A Christian physician's assistant won her court case in Michigan.  Valerie Kloosterman, a University of Michigan Health-West health worker, was fired five years ago, because of her stance against transgenderism and her affirmation of biblical principles. The health system agreed to pay $410,000 to Kloosterman and her attorneys, while also pledging to “create a religious accommodation policy in accordance with the law, notify and train all its employees, [and] grant reasonable religious accommodations without retaliation.”   Armed citizens stopped mass murderer at Idaho In-N-Out  Burgers Two armed citizens stopped a mass murderer at an In-N-Out Burger restaurant in Twin Falls, Idaho over the weekend. Police Chief Matthew Hicks recognized the two heroes for their courageous actions taken when they returned fire on the assailant. HICKS: “We can confirm that there was an off-duty state trooper and a citizen who actively engaged the suspect by returning gunfire towards him. We want to take a moment and commend the actions of the off-duty officer and the citizen and their heroic action to stop this incident. We believe their actions helped drive the suspect away from the scene, preventing further casualties.” Three died and seven more were wounded in the rampage. The suspect, who used an AR-style rifle, now identified as Chad Williams, died as a result of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. The New York Post reported that Terry Dudley, a taxi driver in Twin Falls, was among those hit by bullets, according to a GoFundMe account to raise money for his medical expenses.  Dudley, a widower and father-of-four, was shot twice in the back as he charged his Tesla. Massachusetts considers birthday abortions without exceptions The state of Massachusetts is on the verge of allowing abortions up until birth without any exceptions.  Dr. Christina Francis with the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, commented on the measure. She said, “It is never medically necessary to purposely end the life of a pre-born child in order to save her mother. Under certain circumstances where a pregnancy complication threatens a mother's life, a physician must separate mom from baby, sometimes when the baby is too young to survive outside the womb.”  Both houses have approved the bill — now awaiting the governor's signature. Maura Healey is Massachusetts's first lesbian governor.   Call Governor Healy at (617) 725-4005 or (413) 784-1200 and urge her not to sign this law that allows abortionists to kill babies on their birthdays. You can also email her through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Americans elected three homosexual governors Americans have elected three homosexual governors: Massachusetts Governor Maura Healy, Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, and Colorado Governor Jared Polis. The Wisdom book of Proverbs reminds us that “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” (Proverbs 29:2.) Support for homosexual faux marriage is collapsing Support for homosexual faux marriage is collapsing in the states. The latest YouGov Economist poll finds only 54% of Americans now in favor of legalizing the practice, while 32% oppose. The percentage of those who approved of the legalization of homosexual faux marriage peaked in the United States about three years ago at 70%. Washington state fires burned 6,000 acres Those fires in Washington state have burned down about 6,000 acres, including 700 structures. Over 60,000 people have been evacuated from the Spokane area. Christian singer booted from Alaska Airlines flight over “preaching” Christian singer Whitney Lynn's website describes her as an internationally-recognized evangelist, singer, songwriter, and deliverance minister with millions of Instagram views. Last week, before an Alaska Airlines flight took off because of some delay, Whitney stood up and boldly shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a relevant and pithy manner to the captive audience on the plane. Listen to what she said as she filmed herself. LYNN: “Hello, everybody. Good morning. I know we're all waiting. It's kind of frustrating, right? This wait? But I want to tell you that God's timing is perfect, and God knows everything. Maybe He's sparing us from danger today. “So, I want you to rest and know that Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died on the cross for your sins. He rose again in three days. He's alive and He's the one true God. But the wages of our sin is death. Hell forever. “Apart from Jesus, we won't make it to Heaven. But He loves you so much. Make him Lord. Repent of your sins. He is coming back very soon. I pray protection over this flight, in the name of Jesus. Amen.” Oddly enough, the airline staff said they felt “unsafe” and proceeded to escort her off the plane. As she was making her way down the aisle to get off the plane, Whitney dialogued with a male Alaska Airlines flight attendant on video. FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “The crews don't feel safe with you.” LYNN: “They don't feel safe? FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “Yeah.” LYNN: “Oh my gosh! I didn't know the message of Jesus Christ was unsafe. Wow! Do I have any guns or anything like that? No, I don't. “So, freedom of speech is not safe. I tell you what this is. It's called spiritual warfare. Is it a crime? Is it against the law? Can you tell me that? I'm just asking you a question. FLIGHT ATTENDANT: “I'm not going to answer any more questions.” LYNN: “I'm getting my stuff as I'm talking. So, can you answer the question? Is it against the law? To preach the gospel? FLIGHT ATTENDANT:  “I don't need to answer any questions.” LYNN:  “You can. You sure can. Last days. People can't talk about Jesus anymore. That's how you know there's power in that name. Makes people feel unsafe. That's sad, very sad. “Well, God bless everybody. If you know Jesus today, make Him Lord of your life and continue to spread the Gospel. Persecuted to be a Christian, it's coming. We're gonna go to jail.” Whitney Lynn has now been banned for future travel on Alaskan Airlines as well as a few other carriers. Proverbs 28:1 notes that, “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” You can write Shane Tackett, the president of Alaska Airlines to object to their decision to ban Christian singer Whitney Lynn. His address is 19300 International Blvd, SeaTac, WA 98188.  Or call: 1 (800) 252-7522. TN listener calls newscast the hub, challenges listeners to evangelize Here at The Worldview in 5 Minutes newscast, Jeff Thompson in Sevierville, Tennessee emailed me and said, “Adam, I want to make two points. First, I see your ministry like a large wagon wheel with many spokes going out in all directions. Your newscast is at the hub, goes out and reaches all points on the compass. You will never know, this side of Heaven, the effect your ministry has had on the lives of the people and what they did with the information you shared. “You are doing a work that the Lord gave you to do. So, He will move the hearts of His people to provide the means to complete the work. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, ‘Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.' “Second, I would challenge The Worldview listeners to be like the sons of Issachar. In 1 Chronicles 12:32, it explains that the men ‘understood the times and knew what Israel should do.'  Be intentional in your walk with Christ. Remember to obey our Lord and take the Gospel into all the world. Show the love of Jesus to everyone in your sphere of influence. If we obey this command and love those around us, I can promise that you will have a full and exciting life.” 26 Worldview listeners gave $12,870.83 And finally, by Monday night at 10:30pm Central, 26 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

Extra Print Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelensky met Trump at White House Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with President Trump at the White House in Washington D.C. last week, reports the Guardian. For Netanyahu, it was his first time back at the White House since hostilities commenced with Iran in late February. The meeting also comes as domestic support for Israel continues to slip, while the Iran war is driving up oil prices before the midterms. In his meeting with Zelensky, President Trump discussed ongoing support for the Ukrainian war effort against Russia. Zelensky stated, “We also spoke about diplomacy. It's important that the diplomatic process be reinvigorated. Our teams will arrange the details of their further communication. I am grateful to the United States for its firm support.” 

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has directed state senators to explore expanding religious expression in Texas public life, continuing a broader push by Republican leaders to increase religion's presence in schools and government.

In this episode of PIJN News, Dr. Chaps reports on a significant legal case in Pakistan where a Muslim terrorist has been sentenced to 10 years for attacking Christians, following false blasphemy accusations. The episode delves into the impact of these events on the Christian community in Jaranwala and highlights the ongoing struggle for religious freedom and justice in Pakistan. Additionally, the program covers the ranking of U.S. states by religious liberty and discusses the nominee for Attorney General's stance on protecting unborn children.

The modern understanding of religious liberty isn't the Founders' understanding. What we have today is a judicial reinvention built over decades of activist rulings. The original was about preventing one Christian denomination from dominating over the rest, not destroying our Christian national identity.

It's Wednesday, July 15th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Pakistani Christians targeted in absurd blasphemy cases Most blasphemy cases in Pakistan in recent years were fabricated. Officials admitted this to a parliamentary committee last week. Christians were among the people targeted in the hundreds of fabricated cases.  The country's blasphemy law criminalizes insulting Islam. People often use the law to target religious minorities like Christians. Just last week, a Pakistani court acquitted a Christian man in this kind of case. Thirty-seven-year-old Dennis Albert had spent two years in prison over false accusations.  In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” British island legalizing assisted suicide The British Channel Island of Jersey is legalizing assisted suicide.  The self-governing island is under the British Crown. Jersey received Royal Assent for its so-called “Assisted Dying Law” last week. Once the law takes effect, the territory will be the first place in the British Isles to legalize such killing. Other jurisdictions in the British Isles are also trying to legalize assisted suicide. These include the Isle of Man as well as England and Wales.  Arkansas: Best state for religious liberty; New York is the worst First Liberty released its 2026 Religious Liberty in the States report. The index ranks states in America based on how well they protect religious freedom.  Only Arkansas and Tennessee received excellent scores on the index. New York and Vermont scored the worst. The majority of states scored below 50 percent on the index.  Arkansas' Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke at a press conference after her state won the highest score on the index. Listen. SANDERS: “Jesus commands us to live out our faith boldly. The Constitution protects our rights to do so. In this administration, we don't just believe that Jesus is our living hope. We will always stand up for the rights of Arkansans who believe the same. “I want to thank First Liberty for recognizing Arkansas's work and for honoring us with this ranking. It's something we are very proud of and we will continue to make sure we stay number one.” Michigan pro-life groups will not be compelled to hire pro-aborts A federal judge ruled in favor of pro-life groups in Michigan last week.  A state law would require pro-life organizations to hire pro-abortion employees. Right to Life of Michigan and Pregnancy Resource Center challenged this law in court. The recent ruling blocks Michigan from enforcing the law.  Amber Roseboom, president of Right to Life of Michigan, said, “The court's decision is a welcome reprieve and reaffirms our fundamental right to hire employees who agree with our life-affirming mission.” New law will make housing more affordable The 21st Century Road to Housing Act became law in the United States. last Saturday.  The bipartisan bill is an attempt to make housing more affordable for Americans. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described the law on X. She said, “This bipartisan bill includes policies long championed by the President. It cuts unnecessary red tape, helps increase housing supply, and limits the ability of large institutional investors to purchase single-family homes.” Median home price: $440,600 In related news, home prices continued to rise last month. A report from the National Association of Realtors found that the median sales price of an existing home reached $440,600 in June. That's the highest on record.  Lawrence Yun with the National Association of Realtors noted, “Affordability is better than a year ago because wage growth is outpacing home price growth. However, progress on long-term housing affordability could be hampered if inventory growth continues to stall.” People who experienced heartache more likely to turn to Bible Last week, the American Bible Society released the fourth chapter of its “State of the Bible: USA 2026” report.  The survey found that people who experienced a negative life event in the past year were significantly more likely to be Bible users than those who had not experienced that challenge. Such challenges included divorce, natural disaster, life-threatening illness or injury, death of a close friend or family member, and unemployment. The report noted, “Amidst hardships, those who regularly engage with Scripture maintain significantly higher flourishing scores.” In John 16:33, Jesus said, “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world, you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Worldview listeners weigh in from Kansas, Washington, and Indiana Susan Tarwater in Hoyt, Kansas, wrote me and said, “I do not watch television. So, I depend on The Worldview as a shortened version of important news I need to hear. Especially news that a Christian needs to be aware of without all the glitter.” Tom Lister in Spokane, Washington wrote me to say, “Adam, I listen to your broadcast every weekday morning. I especially like how you keep us informed about the church, the persecution of many, and how, in many places, the church is slipping into apostasy. I also appreciate how you always end on a very positive outlook. Keep up the good fight! I'm a monthly supporter already but might be able to increase the amount.” And Melinda Johnson in Indianapolis, Indiana, wrote, “I've been listening to and reading The Worldview for several years now. My favorite part of the news is hearing about different stories that are not reported by mainstream media -- things like persecuted Christians, updates on abortion, how the Gospel is impacting the world, and issues affecting the conservative Christian movement. “The Worldview is quite different than any other news, even Christian sources, that cover the regular news. Your newscast brings up topics that help me know what to pray for in the world. You and the team are continuing in a great work!” 3 Worldview listeners gave $205 And finally, on Tuesday by 6:00pm Central, only 3 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the six-member team behind The Worldview for another year Our thanks to Teresa in Haverford, Pennsylvania who gave $5 as well as Lawrence in Lynchburg, Virginia and Gary in Westminster, Colorado – both of whom gave $100 Those 3 gifts add up to $205. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $24,008 (sound effect of people cheering) That means we need to raise a sizeable $32,557 in just three days to hit our $56,565 goal by this Friday, July 17th.   Listen, if you have been a monthly donor from a previous year, and you intend to continue with your monthly donation, please email me to let me know, so that I can add your generous help toward our total. And if you would like to make a one-time donation today or start a new monthly pledge, please go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish. If everybody does something, we can reach our $123,500 finish line to fund this upcoming year. Go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give.

Show recorded on July 6, 2026: This week on The Third Opinion, Mike and Laureen tackle several timely issues at the intersection of politics, religion and national security. The conversation centers on the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the United States and Iran. Mike and Laureen explore why some Israelis oppose the agreement, the ongoing debate over Iran's nuclear ambitions and why Israel's own nuclear capabilities are viewed differently by many in the international community. The episode also examines whether full-time Torah study should continue to exempt Israelis from compulsory service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), a debate that has become increasingly divisive within Israel. Finally, the hosts discuss concerns surrounding the growth of Christian nationalism in the United States and whether it poses a threat to religious freedom and the constitutional separation of church and state.

By Tim Martens - People were created with the capacity to choose to follow God's ways. It is critical to make good choices that we might better be able to preach the gospel to all nations, make disciples, and care for those disciples.

The discussion explores how early American colonies often had state-supported denominations, why Baptists and other dissenters pushed for true liberty of conscience, and how Roger Williams helped shape a vision of religious freedom rooted in Scripture rather than secularism.TS and Andrew also discuss the difference between freedom of religion and freedom from religion, the influence of biblical morality on America's founding, and why Christians should understand and engage the public square without advocating for a theocracy.Topics CoveredAndrew Linn's background, faith journey, and documentary work.Roger Williams and the founding of Rhode Island.The true historical meaning of separation of church and state.The Danbury Baptists and Thomas Jefferson's famous letter.Why religious liberty was meant to protect faith, not remove it from public life.The Puritans, the Massachusetts Bay Colony, and early colonial theocracy.Freedom of conscience, soul liberty, and biblical arguments for religious freedom.America as a republic rooted in law, liberty, and Judeo-Christian moral foundations.Why Christians should understand history as America approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.Featured GuestAndrew Linn is a filmmaker and documentary producer whose work includes Fearless Freddy, a documentary about a World War II submariner, and a new documentary exploring Roger Williams, church and state, and the founding of religious liberty in America. In the episode, Andrew describes himself as a half-Jewish believer in Jesus who came to faith in his early twenties and later pursued documentary filmmaking.Resources MentionedChurch and State Documentary Visit: churchandstate.comClosing ThoughtReligious liberty was not established to drive God out of public life. It was established to keep the state from controlling the conscience, coercing worship, or dictating doctrine. As America reflects on its founding, this episode calls believers to recover the historical and biblical foundations of freedom.

Jeff Fisher discusses a term marked by major rulings across executive power, voting, and civil rights, and what they signal about the Court's trajectory. --- The Supreme Court has wrapped up a consequential term, issuing decisions that could shape executive power, constitutional rights, and the balance between the branches of government for years to come. Rulings on birthright citizenship, independent federal agencies, voting rights, transgender athletes, and Fourth Amendment digital privacy all landed within weeks of one another, offering a rare, wide-angle view of where the Court is headed. In this episode, Professor Jeff Fisher joins Pam Karlan to unpack the term's biggest rulings. Fisher and Karlan co-direct the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, and are among the nation's leading experts on Supreme Court litigation and constitutional law, regularly briefing and arguing cases before the Court, giving them a close vantage point on its work.  The discussion traces how the Court is navigating open clashes with President Trump even as it advances long-standing goals of the conservative legal movement, and examines the Court's growing use of history and tradition as a tool of constitutional interpretation. Fisher and Karlan also discuss disagreements among the justices and consider how recent decisions may be emboldening the executive branch.

The Religious Liberty Commission has gone ahead without Carrie Prejean and under the guise of "liberty" laid the groundwork to make Christianity, and other religions, illegal in the name of Judaism and antisemitism. Bill C-9 in Canada sets a similar foundation. Nearly all of the Christian revivalism is actually Israeli propaganda subverting the true foundation of the religion and using Jesus as a mascot for genocide and war. Furthermore, this not proof that Christianity is "correct" in some broad sense. It is the result of a centuries old grudge held by the Jews against the Christians and the Western world. The only thing more obscene and sacrilege is the notion advanced by Mike Huckabee that America was founded by Jews and Israel, instead of through centuries of European philosophy and spiritual conceptualization. Happy 4th of July America; you can thank Israel, not Greece or Rome.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 that federal law protecting prisoners' religious exercise does not extend to a lawsuit brought by an incarcerated Rastafarian man who sought damages after prison officials forcibly shaved his head. The man, Damon Landor, sued both the Louisiana Department of Corrections and several of its officers individually under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), which defines the religious rights of people held in institutions that receive federal funding. However, the Court's majority found that the law does not apply to the prison officials named in the suit, as they had not entered into a formal agreement with the federal government.

In International Partners for Ethical Care v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court has been asked to review a Washington law that delays notification and reunification of a runaway child with his or her parents if that child claims to be receiving or requests gender-affirming treatment. The lower courts found that a group of parents (including one with a child who had run away before) lacked standing to challenge this law. The parents' petition to the Supreme Court will go before the Justices at an upcoming conference. Join us for a litigation update about this case and its broader implications for standing doctrine particularly in the context of parental rights and gender transition. Featuring: --R.

Welcome back to the Word on Fire Show. I'm Matthew Petrusek, senior director of the Word on Fire Institute and the host of the Word on Fire Show. Thank you for joining us. Bishop Robert Barron has long defended religious freedom as a universal human right. As part of his ongoing advocacy—which includes a new book on how to confront persecution against Christians—he has recently completed serving on a presidential religious liberty commission charged with ensuring that people of all faiths can participate fully in society without fear of violence or unjust discrimination. One of the few Catholic ecclesial voices on the commission, his work addressed multiple abiding and practical questions. For example, at the conceptual level, what is religious freedom, and what role should the government play in protecting it? How can we define religious freedom in a way that prevents one religion's exercise of their freedom from infringing upon the freedom of other religions, or on those who claim no religion at all? And at the more concrete level, where, right now, are the greatest threats to religious freedom and what can we do both legislatively and individually to combat them? Here to address these and related questions, and to discuss his experience serving on the presidential commission, is Bishop Robert Barron.

Fr. Elias Mary Mills, F.I., served as Rector of the Shrine Church at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, from 2016 to 2021. He was ordained in May of 2000. In Today's Show: • How can we interpret Vatican II's comments in light of previous Church teachings in regard to “Religious Liberty”? • What is your day-to-day life like as a Franciscan Friar?   • How do I know that the person I want to marry is the one God intends for me?  • Why do we have to love our enemies, and how can we do this? • If I know lust is a mortal sin but impure thoughts enter the imagination, (perhaps intrusively) but I do not consent, does that simply make it a temptation? Or would it be venial? • And more.

God Bless America. In God We Trust. One Nation Under God. We sing it. We see it on our dollar bills. We were raised on it. So why is faith under such brutal, relentless attack in America right now? President Trump has had enough. And he personally asked me to join him in the fight. For the past year I've served on his Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty. What we uncovered will shock you — a coach fired for praying, a teacher forced to hide her crucifix, a student banned from writing a Bible verse on her own parking space. And what's happening to a group of nuns in New York right now? It stopped me cold. This isn't China. This isn't history. This is America. Right now. Listen. Share.

Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian take an honest look at America's imperfect founding. As they continue their Hillsdale series, they examine the tension between liberty and slavery and how flawed motives shaped the early nation. But even in the middle of it, a deeper truth emerges: true freedom doesn't come from government—it comes from God. That idea, rooted in natural law, would go on to shape everything from the Declaration of Independence to the fight for civil rights. Today's conversation is about Lesson 3 of Colonial America: From Wilderness to Civilization from Hillsdale College. Take the course with us at no cost to you!
