    November Election: Faith is on the Ballot

    The clock is ticking and the calendar pages are turning as we approach the November 3rd election, one week from today. What's on the ballot? It's socialism vs. capitalism. Abortion vs life. Many genders vs. male & female. Anti-Israel or pro-Israel. Secure borders or open borders. The abolition of police or law enforcement. The advancement of Islam or the advancement of Christian values. Indeed, faith is on the ballot. You must realize that those who are victorious in this election will vote on issues like these one way or the other. The control of the U.S. House and Senate weighs in the balance. But it's not only Washington DC, it's your state offices, your state legislatures, your courts, your sheriffs, your referendum questions and the list goes on. There will be decisions made that will impact and shape your schools, your courts, your communities. Former U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter." We must recognize both the wonderful privilege we have and with that comes an important duty, a stewardship before God. That's why the guest on this edition of Crosstalk is urging Christians to get off the sideline. That guest was Debbie Wuthnow. Debbie is president of iVoterGuide, a division of American Family Association Action. She was named president in 2018. They provide information on many thousands of candidates in thousands of races nationwide. What can we learn from the 2020 mid-term election? Will this election bring momentum to the 2028 presidential election? How extensive is the information presented by ivoterguide? Get the answers on this edition of Crosstalk!

    The Urgent Need for Bibles!

    Jason Woolford is the President and Executive Director of Mission Cry. When we compare the United States to the rest of the world, we are a land of plenty. We have plenty of food. People from other countries marvel when they walk in our grocery stores and see all the varieties and brands of each food and full shelves. Compared to the rest of the world, we have plenty of fresh water. There are many who have little or very dirty water. We have much technology and quick access to it. We have Christian broadcasting available over the air and by way of apps. We have many churches scattered all over the state and around the country. And we have the Scriptures; not just a single copy that a whole church or region has to share, but we have multiple copies in our home where each person usually has more than one Bible. But there are many around the world who long to have their own copy of the Scriptures, but due to either lack of resources or lack of supply, they do not. However YOU can change that.

    Prayer for the Persecuted Church / Election Update

    As easy as we have it in the United States there are Christians all over the world that are suffering for their faith. Many families are hurting today because of a loved one that's been apprehended and incarcerated, some even killed. As a whole, Christian persecution around the globe is on the increase. It's been reported that roughly 1 in 7 Christians worldwide are facing persecution. That number is hard to fathom. These are brothers and sisters in Christ whom we will one day meet in heaven. "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body." — Hebrews 13:3 There's a special day coming up that's being emphasized when churches everywhere pray for the persecuted church. It's called the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Joining Jim to tell listeners about it during the first half of this broadcast was Todd Nettleton. Todd is vice president for message for Voice of the Martyrs-USA and host of The Voice of the Martyrs Radio. He serves as a voice for persecuted Christians, inspiring Christians with the faithfulness of Christ's followers in over 70 nations where they face persecution for wearing His name. During more than 25 years serving at VOM, Todd has traveled the world and conducted face-to-face interviews with hundreds of Christians who've endured persecution in more than 30 nations He is the author of When Faith is Forbidden: 40 Days on the Frontlines with Persecuted Christians. During the second half of this program you'll hear a word from Bill Whatcott that he recorded yesterday afternoon from the Tacoma ICE Detention Facility (see Crosstalk for 10/21).

    The Weaponization of Polls

    We are exactly two weeks from Election Day. Early voting is underway in many states yet every day leading up to the elections we are hearing news reports and broadcast stories referring to the polls. "The polls say…," "polling indicates…," "if the election were held today the polls show…," "the latest polls show…," "today's presidential approval rating is…" and the list goes on and on. Are you aware that polls are given in such a way to influence voters? Are you aware that polls are often given to discourage donors from giving? With the legacy media being in the driver's seat to so many of these poll-related stories, are they attempting to correct past mistakes or are they part of an effort to discourage conservatives? Joining Jim to discuss the weaponization of polls was Craig DeRoche. Craig is president and CEO of Family Policy Alliance and former speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. He is a frequent speaker and author on faith, culture, public policy, and civic engagement. Callers helped wrap up the program with their thoughts and questions on this important subject.

    Life on the Ballot

    With Election Day just two weeks away, we must be fully cognizant that life vs death, pro-life vs. pro-abortion is on the ballot. Those we elect to office and the ideals they hold will determine what type of policies advance, one to protect life, another to take life. Furthermore, a number of states have a referendum question on the ballot, a constitutional amendment which some states are seeking to enshrine abortion in their state constitution. Jim quoted from an article from LifeNews.com dated October 14, 2026. The article states, "House Democrats' health care working group handed House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries an 84-page playbook to run if they seize control in November. It maps out what they plan to do in their first 100 hours if they take back control of Congress. At the top of their list? Abortion. In their own words, they want to 'Reestablish a federal right to abortion care and end restrictions that prevent people covered through federal health programs from receiving abortion coverage.' In other words, abortion-on-demand nationwide, and you pay for it." In other words, some will literally be voting whether or not to add life or abortion to their state constitution. On this edition of Crosstalk you also hear about the recent report from the FDA that they will not complete their abortion pill safety review until March of 2027.

    Another week is in the books. Here's a sample of what was presented as Jim brought you another week of stories for you to ponder from a Christian perspective: --A 16 year old suspect killed 3 children and a teacher before being fatally shot by a witness at an elementary school in Bend, Oregon. --Last Friday, bomb threats were phoned in to two Brooklyn Jewish day schools just minutes apart according to the N.Y.P.D., however, they were later determined to be hoaxes. --Staffers for Representative Ilhan Omar reportedly assisted her in changing her birth date on official records shortly after she began her first term in the U.S. House according to a New York Post report. --Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has confirmed that her office has opened an investigation into Omar's finances, separate from the immigration related investigation currently being carried out by the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security. --One of the largest fraud scandals in Minnesota may involve the family of Ilhan Omar.
