    What Is the UK Grooming Gang Scandal They Don’t Want You to Know About?

    In this episode of In God We Trusted, Sam and Will examine the UK grooming gang scandal: tracing the history from the 2012 Rochdale convictions through multiple government inquiries that confirmed widespread child sexual exploitation across at least 149 British towns. They explore how political correctness and fear of being labeled racist led officials to suppress evidence, dismiss victims, and allow predators to operate freely for decades. They discuss the Jay Report's finding of 1,400 victims in Rotherham alone, the 2022 inquiry confirming the problem was systemic and nationwide, and the 2026 Lowe Report estimating over 250,000 victims. This episode explains why this matters for America as a cautionary tale about unchecked immigration policies and silenced speech. Using Psalm 82, Matthew 18, Proverbs 24, Romans 13, and other passages, they lay out a biblical framework for how Christians are called to defend the vulnerable and hold governments accountable. Whether you are hearing about this issue for the first time or want to know how to respond with courage, this episode equips you to understand the facts and take a stand.

    Why Did So Many Civilizations Sacrifice Their Children?

    In this episode of In God We Trusted, Will and Sam explore the disturbing history of child sacrifice across every continent and century, from the Canaanites and Romans to the Aztecs and beyond. They examine what Genesis 22 teaches about how the God of the Bible is fundamentally different from the false gods that demanded child sacrifice. The Bible repeatedly calls God's people to choose life over death, and wherever Christianity has spread throughout history, these horrific practices have been abolished. The episode also addresses abortion as a modern form of child sacrifice and why the gospel remains the only proven solution to ending it. Whether you are new to the Bible or exploring the Christian faith, this episode will challenge you to understand why God values every human life and what that means for us today.

    Why Are So Many Churches Abandoning the Bible?

    In this episode of In God We Trust, Sam and Will trace the history of progressive Christianity and how major denominations drifted away from the Bible. From the Christian founding of America's top universities to the rise of liberal theology in Germany, they explore how figures like Friedrich Schleiermacher redefined faith as feeling rather than truth. We cover key turning points like the Andover Seminary controversy, the Social Gospel movement, the Five Fundamentals of 1910, and the Scopes Monkey Trial. You'll learn what the six mainline denominations believe today and why churches that abandoned biblical authority have lost more than half their membership. Whether you're new to faith or wondering why some churches look nothing like historic Christianity, this episode gives you the history you need.

    How Did “Separation of Church and State” Become So Common?

    In this episode, Sam and Will explain what secularism means and why it is not the “neutral” option many people assume it is. The conversation defines secularism as separating society, government, and major institutions from religious belief and anything supernatural. It then walks through historical examples and quotes (including Richard Dawkins) to discuss what gets replaced when Christianity is pushed out of public life. You will also hear a timeline of U.S. history and court decisions that shaped how religion shows up in schools and public spaces. They connect secularism with shifts in education, humanism, and the growth of government programs, especially around the New Deal era. A practical takeaway is to think carefully about what you treat as your highest authority, since something will always fill that role in your life and in a culture.

    Should Doctors Help Aid End of Life? (A Biblical View)

    In this episode, Will and Sam talk about physician-assisted suicide and ask a simple question: what does the Bible teach about life and death? They start with the idea that God is the author of life, that human beings bear God’s image, and that Scripture consistently values life. The conversation explains why suicide is seen as self-murder and why Christians believe we do not have the authority to end our own lives. They also define physician-assisted suicide as expediting death, not simply refusing extraordinary medical measures, then walk through cultural and historical warnings about how societies redefine “life worth living.” If you are wrestling with despair or questions about suffering, this episode points you back to hope, God’s ownership of life, and the call to honor the sanctity of life even in hardship.
