Cal is also a Christian who seeks “to serve God first and then my country.”Now 80 years old and still going strong (as you will hear in his voice), Cal has seen and commented on an era of major transforation in our country. In his new book, A Watchman in the Night: What I've Seen Over 50 Years Reporting on America, Cal starts in 1984 and goes year-by-year to 2022, providing insight on the major events that have shaped our nation.The book provides an interesting and helpful arc of perspective on the worldview transformation that has taken place in our country, proving what the Bible says: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).Cal Thomas is our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview, and much like listening to past interviews with my parents, who are slightly older than Cal, you will hear a similar type of insight and conviction that is anchored in the truths of Scripture.ANNOUNCEMENTS:The Essential Church in Theaters Starting July 28!The Essential Church is a feature-length documentary that explores the struggle between Church and government throughout history.

In this episode, Joseph Clair talks with Dr. Nancy Pearcey about worldview, sexuality, and the human body. How has the “truth split” affected the way we think about the value of our bodies? Is the body or the mind a better indicator of personal teleology?

Overcoming adversity is a part of every human being's life - whether we bring this adversity on ourselves, or whether it is unfairly cast upon us. The question is not if we have to deal with challenges (big or small), but when. In the words of Hellen Keller, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” How do we stand against such difficult times? On today's episode, Dennis interviews Dave Arthur Strauch about how he overcame personal adversity. May his story encourage you and those you love. Dave Arthur has been working in radio for over 35 year including Top 40 radio stations like KISS-FM, KF95, and Magic 93.1 in Boise, Idaho. In 2001, Dave joined Salem Communications in Portland, OR on the original team at 104.1 The Fish where he worked for 11 years. In Fall 2010 Dave was asked to take over as morning show host at 89.5 KTSY back home in Boise, where he currently lives and works. Dave is a self-described car nut who loves his wife Shauna, daughters, and Mazda Miata. Find out more and listen to Dave online at KTSY.org. Thanks for listening to Just Around the Corner!

CUT THE BS RANT:The phrase “Content is King” has been around for a while. When Bill Gates made his Content is King speech in 1996, he was referring to how the speed of the internet allows us to find and consume content quickly, increasing the importance of Digital Marketing. The traditional way of distributing information through limited sources controlled by a few organizations was dead. We as consumers of content had the ability to choose our content. . Unfortunately, BS Marketers misunderstood it to mean that they should produce more and more content which leads to a bunch of garbage ignored by the masses. For Content to be king, it has to be about THEM—your key target audiences. Drill down those target markets into manageable segments so you can figure out what type of content each segment wants. Create the content for THEM, about THEM, heck even by THEM.  That way, your content can be consumed, quoted, forwarded, retweeted, liked, insert action of your favorite social media outlet.GUEST BACKGROUND: Meghan Speer is Director of Digital Marketing Services at Marketing Support Network. She is a Social Media Strategist who helps organizations build relationships with customers through engaging social media content. CAREER JOURNEY:A graduate of Thiel College, she is a self-described “entrepreneur who has never started her own business.”  Meghan has provided marketing and social media strategies for Eden Christian Academy, Salem Communications, and now Marketing Support Network.  She was the first person to "do" marketing at a systematic level for each organization and was created her own job description each time.MENTORS:Mentors are important, and most successful mentor-mentee relationships happen organically.  Meghan mentioned her first mentor, Sam Siple and how he taught her so much in her first job. They've stayed in touch with their career paths crossing multiple times since.BIGGEST LEARNING EXPERIENCE:An experience that stemmed from an April Fool's Day prank and the lack of communication over multiple cultures, Meghan describes a joke-gone-wrong as one of her biggest learning experiences of her career. The lesson: Communication is key. As you become more confident, don't forget that you still have to make sure people understand the rationale for your ideas.The No BS Show is brought to you by audible.com.

On this week’s show, we spoke with Zackary Lewis, Founder & CEO @ Say Allo. Upon completing a successful tour in the United States Marine Corps as a Heavy Machine Gunner in the renowned “Walking Dead” battalion of the Infantry, Zackary utilized his leadership skills to launch Genesis Marketing Group, a company focused on building successful branding campaigns for companies throughout the United States. While simultaneously attending the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado, Zackary grew Genesis Marketing Group to over 130 employees with locations in Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. After a successful exit of Genesis Marketing, Zackary founded GlobalTRACK Technologies, an asset tracking technology company allowing consumers to detect lost or stolen equipment utilizing the latest in GPS technologies. In 2001 Zackary founded Liquid Compass, a premier Streaming Delivery Network to the radio industry. Focused on the streaming radio industry, Liquid Compass provided streaming services to thousands of broadcasters around the world to include Absolute Radio, Bonneville, Clear Channel (iHeartRadio), CBS, Entercom, Greater Media, Hubbard Radio, Lincoln Financial Media, Saga Communications and Salem Communications, to name a few. As Liquid Compass evaluated potential pathways to growth and innovation, Zackary spearheaded an important merger for the radio industry by combining its business and operations with another leader in the space, Triton Digital. Following the acquisition of Liquid Compass, recent accolades include being selected as one of ten CEOs to successfully complete 101010.net's inaugural launch, and also being awarded as a Top 25 Young Professional in Colorado by Colorado Biz Magazine. Zackary is frequently asked to speak and moderate panel discussions on topics pertaining to streaming technologies, digital advertising, artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship.

If you're a college kid with an accruing mountain of student-loan debt--or a high-school kid looking at your friends' necktie deep dungeon of debt, then free college with no college debt sounds pretty appealing. But, what a lot of our kids aren't aware of, is their history--in this case, the history of socialism. I'm not sure socialism has worked very well anywhere it was tried. So, today's parents have to ask themselves a few questions: "What am I doing to educate my child about America's political history? How do I want that political history to affect my child's political and professional future?" And, "Do I really want our liberal, failing public school system; our kids' favorite entertainment personalities; their 300 social media acquaintances; and, our liberal--postmodern-thinking press to be their only source for political insight? Today we talk socialism with Dr. Frank Wright, a protégée of Dr. James Kennedy. Dr. Wright served for over a decade as the President and CEO of the National Religious Broadcasters and later President and COO of Salem Communications. In 2015 Dr. Wright returned to Dr. James Kennedy ministries where he is now President and CEO. Dr. Wright holds a Ph.D. in Finance from Florida Atlantic University and is an ordained Elder in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Throughout the years, he has been very vocal about Dr. Kennedy's direct impact on him and his ministry, and their shared vision and worldview makes Dr. Wright the ideal person to continue D. James Kennedy Ministries' push toward the future. From Formation to Socialism? If you don't have a biblical framework to overlay what we see happening day by day in today's culture it all looks like chaos. But it's not chaos. It's by design. It was said of Benjamin Franklin when he came out of the constitutional convention, “What kind of government did you give us.” To which he answered, “a Republic if you can keep it.” A Republic is where the people elect representatives that represent their interest on their behalf. The fallen nature of man was not something that escaped Mr. Franklin so even he wondered at the longevity of it. I like to say we live in a Constitutional Republic. We are in a Republic where we elect representatives but the structure of government is framed by a constitution. What exactly is socialism? It is the government ownership or control of all of the means of production of society. That's land, labor, and capital. When the government owns everything or controls it then all kinds of things happen or don't happen. When young people today say they are in favor of socialism I ask, “do you realize under socialism there would and could never be Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.” The hallmark of socialism is control. There is no free market. In application, socialist governments go so much further to include the control of speech, jobs, etc. It does not stand competition for authority. Two things that compete directly with a socialist government are the family and the church. Were the disciples living a socialist lifestyle? In Acts 5 you see that the disciples were keeping their goods in common. However, it doesn't say they kept ALL of their goods in common. They shared based on needs. They shared voluntarily. The difference is a socialist government takes the money from you. The disciples did it voluntarily. Secondly, look where they brought the money; not to the government but to the church. Parents, start with your kids on this. The reason that you know that socialism is not biblical is because it is government theft. It is a violation of the commandment “Thou shalt not still.” Secondly, socialism is the gospel of envy. Thou shalt not covet is the other commandment. One of the funniest things about socialism is you will never see socialism begin in a poor country. It happens and begins where there is a system of free enterprise that allows wealth to accumulate.

On September 16, 2002 at age 47, Pamela Christian went to play tennis. She says, “I arrived feeling what seemed to be minor indigestion, which I'd felt for a couple mornings in a row and I just chalked it up to the cantaloupe I'd been eating.” But within minutes she couldn’t breath and 911 was called. They administered ADVANCED life support because what they witnessed was her suffering the onset of a sudden cardiac arrest. A speaker and author, Pamela began The Bless Your Heart awareness campaign. She desires it to be your story as well as hers. Her web site www.blessyourheartcampaign.com states “Ours in that as you learn the heart facts, you share what you know with others. Together we're helping women everywhere become aware and very potentially saving lives! Here's where we can interact, share stories, recipes and more!”A popular speaker and writer before, she's gone on to host both radio and television and lives her life with greater intensity than ever (and she was pretty intense before)! In 2003 she hosted The Pamela Christian radio show, a live 2-hour weekly call-in program. In 2005 she was hired by Salem Communications to host Life Line on KFAX in San Francisco, a 2 hour drive-time daily call-in talk show.

She was a featured guest on Focus on the Family March 2008. Whether it's media or personal speaking engagements what Pam wants to do most is make a difference in the lives of others.
