GUEST: MISSY ROEPNACK, Christian Writer and Teacher
On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy, a former labor-and-delivery nurse in Massachusetts, sent her husband out for some errands, and while he was away, took their three children—Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months)—into the basement and one by one strangled them to death.
Fast forward to this year and the recent murder trial for Lindsay Clancy. Women in pink shirts amassed outside the courthouse day after day, not to demand justice for Clancy’s three children, but to cheer her on...

Socialism has become mainstream in America. Political candidates representing the Democratic Socialists of America Party are winning elections across the country. Their website says this:
“Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism. You don’t really have bills anymore. You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance. You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, ed...

In our country today there is no shortage of violent acts that shock the senses. We did a recent program on the man who falsely believed he was a women who opened fire at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, killing two young children.

Knowing God by Name

GUEST: PASTOR MATT MORRELL, Fourth Baptist Church in Plymouth, MN
It’s been said that the most important thing about a person is what they think when they think about God.
In other words, the more accurate our understanding of who God is—and the more willing we are to obey Him—the more we will think and live as God intends, for His glory and our good.
Creation is God’s general revelation to all people. Romans 1:20 says, “For since the creation of the wor...
The Christian Call to Be Salt and Light No Matter Our Societal Moment

Jesus commanded His followers to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” While this familiar phrase is often reduced to simply being kind or positive, Jesus intended something far more consequential.
In Matthew 5, immediately after describing the character of true believers in the Beatitudes—and warning that they would face persecution, insults, and false accusations—Jesus called them to live in a way that would be clearly noticed by the world.
Salt preserves what would otherwise decay, while light exposes darkness and shows the way. Likewis...

Consider this: Nearly 30% of the Bible deals with prophetic or future events. A majority of the prophecies in Scripture have already come to pass but there is plenty of prophecy that is yet to be fulfilled.
Fulfilled prophecy is one of the greatest evidences that God is trustworthy and His Word is true.
Consider Old Testament prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ—that He would be born of a virgin, in Bethlehem, make an escape to...

Guest: Ed Vitagliano, Executive Vice President, American Family Association
America as an independent, sovereign nation is now 250 years old. The founders of our nation, who were mostly Christians or were in large measure influenced by Christianity, brilliantly wrote and adopted our nation’s founding and guiding documents—the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 and the US Constitution, the supreme law of our land on Sept 17, 1789.
The founders understood from studying Scripture and history that separation of power is necessary to avoid tyranny and individual liberties, boun...

A nation and world altering event took place on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia when 56 representatives of 13 British colonies signed the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain.
The Declaration is America’s original founding document and is “the most consequential enumeration of the fundamental and unalienable Rights of Mankind as irrevocably endowed by our Creator.”
Today in a special Independence Day program, we’re going to commemorate this bold act that altered our nation from being yet another British colony under the King and Church of England. Instead, America became a Constitu...

The Bible says that in the time of the judges in Israel, “every man did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6).

For example, Romans 3 says:“for we have already charged that both Jew...

Sadly, June has become synonymous with “Pride Month,” where sexual sin and rebellion against God are not repented of but celebrated. Parades, often with lewd behavior, march through the streets, rainbow flags are flown, and the media and organizations trip over themselves to promote what God’s Word everywhere condemns.
The lie that has been swallowed is that people are born, even created by God, whatever they identify as in the LGBTQIA+ alphabet.

GUEST: STEVE DEACE, from the Blaze, syndicated radio host and best-selling author
President Trump is relentlessly positive—about his abilities, his policies, and America. It’s widely reported that the President was heavily influenced by Norman Vincent Peale’s best-selling book from 1952, The Power of Positive Thinking. Peale was a minister at Marble Collegiate, a church in midtown Manhattan where Trump’s family became members (but rarely attended).
This likely explains why Trump chose Paula White-Cain to lead the White House Faith Office—she is cut from t...
