    The Mid-Terms, Middle East, and the Christian’s Calling

    Send us Fan MailGUEST: ROD D. MARTIN, Philosopher Capitalist, The Rod Martin ReportWhen Donald Trump made his unlikely political comeback to win the presidency for a second, nonconsecutive term in 2024, many Christians and conservatives hoped America would return to sanity for years to come.Two years later, while many of the anti-God, anti-America policies of the Biden administration have been curtailed, the movement determined to undermine Christian and constitutional principles is champing at the bit to wrest control of Congress from Republicans and make Trump’s final two years in office as difficult as possible.Meanwhile, a war-turned-standoff with Iran continues to create instability in the Middle East, contributing to higher gas prices at home and fueling anti-Israel sentiment abroad. Unrest in France and other European countries, including clashes involving Islamist and far-left movements, raises troubling questions about what could happen in America if similar ideologies gain greater influence.In the midst of all this, many Evangelical churches continue on with “regular programming” as if ignoring the issues that oppose God and Scripture and impact our lives is preferable to informing congregants how to think and engage, the least of which to vote for the better of two options.Our guest this weekend, Rod D. Martin, believes Christians are called not to passivity but to be what Scripture commands—salt and light for the gospel and truth—not just within the walls of the church but in every sphere of society, including politics.Rod has a distinguished background in putting those convictions into practice. He is founder and CEO of Martin Capital and The Rod Martin Report, a technology entrepreneur, geopolitical analyst, and author of several books, including Trump’s New World Re-Order: Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Postwar Globalist Rule. He was part of PayPal’s startup team, has served on the board of the Center for Security Policy, co-founded the Conservative Baptist Network, and served on the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.Join us this weekend as we discuss the midterm elections, turmoil in the Middle East, and why Christians must stand firm, speak truth, and remain faithful until Christ returns.

    Imprisoned Over George Floyd. Set Free by Jesus Christ

    Send us Fan MailGUEST: TOU THAO, former Minneapolis police officerNo one woke up on May 25, 2020 anticipating the country was about to change, that cities were soon to burn, and that the Marxist woke movement, including Black Lives Matter and Defund the Police, were going to take off. But that’s what happened when George Floyd, a drug-user with a long criminal history was arrested after passing a counterfeit $20 bill at a Minneapolis market.With methamphetamine and a high level of fentanyl in his system, Floyd resisted arrest for over ten minutes, leading to one of the four officers, Derek Chauvin, employing the department-approved Maximal Restraint Technique (MRT), where the suspect is handcuffed face down and the officer’s knee is placed on the upper back near the neck in order to subdue the suspect until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive.Video of a white police officer with his knee holding down a prone black man for nine minutes crying out “I can’t breathe” and calling for his mother spread like wildfire across social media. When EMS finally arrived, Floyd was loaded in to the ambulance and taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The narrative was instantly cemented—police brutality and systemic racism.According to the documentary, The Fall of Minneapolis, produced by Alpha News, the official autopsy showed that Floyd died of cardiac arrest, with the drugs in his system as a contributing factor, rather than solely from the restraint technique used by Chauvin. No matter—a perfect storm had been whipped up in order to make political gains.Minneapolis burned with riots night after night. The 3rd police precinct was abandoned and torched by rioters. Riots spread to 140 cities across the country leading to the largest civil unrest damages in U.S. history.One of the four Minneapolis police officers on scene that day was Tou Thao. Thao never touched Floyd but instead kept bystanders at bay. All four officers would be jailed and charged—Thao with “aiding and abetting” murder. Thao was sentenced to over five years in prison, serving three.Now released, Tou Thao joins us to tell us about the George Floyd incident and how God providentially and graciously used the miscarriage of justice against Thao to bring him to saving faith in Christ.---------------------To discover what the media and justice system never told you about George Floyd’s death and the subsequent riots, watch The Fall of Minneapolis documentary.

    The Radicalization of Young Women

    Send us Fan MailGuest: David Mitzenmacher, Associate Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, FLStudies are showing what you are likely seeing with your own eyes—women, particularly younger women, are “radicalizing” in their worldview. In other words, moving away from a biblical worldview.Who was prominent on the front lines against ICE as they arrested illegal immigrants in Minnesota? Women. Who was standing outside the courthouse cheering on Lindsay Clancy during the trial for murdering her three children? Women.Of course these examples are anecdotal. But the data is not. A social media post showed the graph of a Gallup poll plotting the political ideology of young men and young women. The headline states: “Women have moved radically leftward, at a scale and speed with no modern precedent, while men have, on the whole, remained largely steady and unchanged. The partisan gap between young men and women almost doubled in the past 25 years.”The radicalization of young women is not simply taking place in politics; it’s moving professing Christian women in evangelical churches to take moral positions at odds with Scripture.In his recent column titled, “We Need to Talk about the Radicalization of Young Women,” David Mitzenmacher, chairman of Founders Ministries and pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral Florida, writes: “Young Christian women are consistently more supportive of abortion, same-sex marriage, and broader LGBTQ+ acceptance than their male peers.”What is driving this leftward shift? What can women do to fortify themselves against the internal and external pressures to conform to the world? What should pastors, parents, and husbands be doing?David Mitzenmacher joins us this weekend to discuss this troubling development that seeks to destroy God’s wise and wonderful design for women.

    How Christians Are Manipulated By Untethered Empathy

    Send us Fan MailGUEST: PASTOR JOE RIGNEY, author, Leadership and The Sin of EmpathyHave you ever wondered why so many feminists support biological boys who identify as girls being able to compete against and defeat biological girls in girls’ sporting events?Or why is nary a peep uttered by those on the left against Somali Muslim immigrants in Minnesota who defrauded taxpayers of over $9 billion? But in the next second these same people are out on the streets screaming and interfering with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who are tasked with finding and deporting illegal immigrants, many of whom having committed additional crimes while here?The animating motivation behind these scenarios and countless more is a misguided form of empathy.Empathy means “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” It has some crossover with sympathy and compassion, which are biblical qualities. God is compassionate. Christ understands and sympathizes with our weaknesses and sufferings and believers are to be like Him.Hebrews 4:15 confirms this: “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.”Colossians 3:12-13 extols that we show compassion: “as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.”So while sympathy and compassion are biblical virtues, there is a corrupted form of empathy today which serves as a sacred virtue of the left that is blind to moral truth and negative consequences because the object of their empathy holds an idolized status of being oppressed.So going back to the aforementioned examples, girls missing opportunities in sports or getting injured or defeated by biological boys is ignored for the greater good of helping the purportedly oppressed “trans community” feel accepted.It’s more important to be welcoming to our Somali Muslim neighbors than to worry about billions in taxpayer fraud. And the illegal immigrants in the shadows among us need protection, never mind that they broke the law to enter and many have committed serious crimes, all the while taking advantage of our taxpayer funded social services like welfare, education, and health care.Our guest this weekend, Joe Rigney, author of Leadership and The Sin of Empathy and associate pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, will explain how untethered empathy goes far beyond the biblical call for compassion and instead is used to manipulate people into supporting leftist power and policies. Because how cold, bigoted, hateful, racist, and homophobic must you be to not share in their so-called empathy?When you begin to see this emotional blackmail taking place in our society and the church, you will see how important it is for Christians and pastors to speak clearly and boldly with truth and grace.

    The Lindsay Clancy Case: When Empathy Overshadows the Victims

    Send us Fan MailGUEST: MISSY ROEPNACK, Christian Writer and TeacherOn 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 and urge acquital.But why? The surface reason is that Lindsay was suffering from mental illness where she was not able to understand what she was doing. Postpartum depression and possibly antidepressants caused a “psychotic break” to occur. Thus, the “I am Lindsay” supporters outside the courthouse and around the country emphasized that this poor woman was a victim who should be acquitted rather than be found culpable for murder.The jury deliberated and finally submitted their verdict: Eleven of twelve voted to acquit Lindsay Clancy of murder while just one held firm that she should be held accountable. Because of a non-unanimous verdict, the case ended in a mistrial.So what does the Lindsay Clancy case say about our justice system and the worldview of our society? How is the “second victim” narrative employed for women who murder their children or abort their unborn babies?Missy Roepnack is the mother of nine children and has spent years doing sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics. Missy recently wrote a series of articles on the Lindsay Clancy case, one of which appears in the Sept-Oct 2026 issue of The Christian Worldview Journal. She joins us to discuss the worldview at play in this case that has drawn national attention.--------------------------Request a FREE  copy of the Sep-Oct Issue of The Christian Worldview Journal.Missy Roepnack Stubstack To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/693/29?v=20251111

    Why the Rise of Socialism in America?

    Send us Fan MailGUEST: CAL BEISNER, author, Social Justice vs. Biblical JusticeSocialism 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, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.If we lived in a classless society and governed ourselves, we could freely build a world without war or poverty. Building this world is the guiding star of our movement. When we labor for our common good instead of private profit, we can all have a secure and dignified life, and use our time and talents how we wish.”We, we, we. Just like the rebels of Babel in Genesis 11, building their city and tower in opposition to God.Our guest this weekend to discuss the rise of socialism is Cal Beisner, founder and president of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, an organization that “advocates for policies that lift people out of poverty through principles such as private property rights, entrepreneurship, free trade, limited government, and access to abundant, affordable, and reliable energy.”Cal is also the author of two helpful booklets related to this topic that you will be able to order from us: Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice and Is Capitalism Bad for the Environment?

    Lord, May the Assassination of Charlie Kirk be a Turning Point

    Send us Fan MailGUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, pastor, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)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.On the heels of that was a young Ukrainian immigrant minding her own business on a train in North Carolina only to have the man sitting behind, 14 times previously arrested, suddenly stand up and stab her to death. The video shakes one to the core.And then on Wednesday of this week, Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point USA, a conservative organization on high school and college campuses, and perhaps the most influential conservative leader in the country other than President Trump, was assassinated by a sniper as he spoke at an event at Utah Valley University. Charlie Kirk was married and the father of two young children. He was just 31 years old.Kirk was known for his sharp intellect, determination, leadership, and articulate, persuasive and bold debate style. At his events on college campuses, he would answer questions from everyone, even those vehemently opposed to his views.Charlie Kirk was also known for being a forthright Christian who boldly proclaimed the gospel of Jesus Christ.The killing of Kirk has been a collective gut punch to those on the right. But to some on the left, his death has been disturbingly celebrated.This reveals not just a divide in our country but a dark and wicked deception that has hardened the hearts of too many. In a country with freedom of religion and speech in our Constitution, no one should be assassinated for viewpoints. But to the modern left, to disagree with them is to be a danger in need of silencing.Charlie Kirk has been silenced from speaking in this life but he has no doubt inspired a generation to stand up for their Christian and conservative beliefs.Travis Allen, pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO, joins us to discuss the several aspects of the murder of Charlie Kirk.--------------------This program is a rebroadcast from September 13, 2025 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/693/29?v=20251111
