Public Schools Are 'Churches' of Humanism: American Family Association's Abraham Hamilton III
Abraham Hamilton III, the General Consul and Public Policy Analyst for the American Family Association, homeschools his children. It's not because of any recent objections, but because he says public schools were created for the purpose of evangelizing children into the church of humanism. When parents point to indoctrination by public schools today, Hamilton says the reason is far more foundational than most people understand. He says, "We did not just arrive here accidentally. It has been the product of an intentional plan using the school system, by and large as a primary mechanism to accomplish it." On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast recorded at the National Religious Broadcasters convention (NRB) in Orlando, Hamilton unleashes a diatribe on the origins of public education. He cites former Dean of Education at Harvard University, Chester Pierce, saying, "He literally said children when they come to our schools at four or five years old, they come sick because they have this weird allegiance to a transcendent being known as God". Secular Humanism, or Humanism, is legally considered a religion for Establishment Clause purposes. Yet it is the default faith of the public square, and public schools. According to a Loyola Law School Journal article, "Secular Humanism refers to a philosophy that 'replaces a worship of the transcendent or supernatural deity with the deification of man and humankind.'" Hamilton has a plethora of things to say about many other issues and problems facing families today, all with the same cause: an absence of the knowledge of God.

Saved by an Angel: Benjamin Hall's Miraculous Survival, His Faith, His Journey
FOX News Correspondent Benjamin Hall is grateful to be alive, grateful to have survived a bomb blast, while still mourning the deaths of the four others traveling in the vehicle with him covering the war in Ukraine. But there is something he's sure of: he was saved by an angel, a messenger from God. Millions of people know the harrowing story of Hall's recovery from the attack. His book "Saved: A War Reporter's Mission to Make it Home," recounts the details of the attack on March 14, 2022. And while he's talked a lot about it and his long recovery in various interviews, he's rarely delved into the spiritual aspects of the ordeal. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Hall talks about how he truly believes that an angel saved him. That a voice and clear presence of his six-year-old daughter telling him to get out of the car, is the reason he's alive today. Angels are God's messengers. On a previous Lighthouse Faith podcast, scientist Dr. Hugh Ross explains how and why these angelic beings come to us and why. For Hall, he doesn't know why he was saved. But for whatever purpose, he's grateful.

Christian Core Beliefs, Imperative Knowledge in a Secular Culture
Recent polls showing how many Generation Z adults believe Jesus was NOT sinless, shows the chasm between real theological knowledge and what the secular culture is preaching. This is a problem. So, what's a Christian supposed to do when faced with erroneous, and often heretical beliefs about their faith? Learn the core beliefs and learn them well. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Dr. Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas Church, talks about how "Christians are refusing to embrace the most basic knowledge about their faith." That is why he wrote the book, "What Every Christian Should Know". The book encapsulates ten core beliefs for standing strong in a shifting world. It's bad enough faithful Christians confront non-believers, but it's worse when professed Christians get their doctrinal information from a culture that has no vested interest in the truth of Christianity. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not a political ideology. It's a faith that is simple to grasp, challenging to live out, but ultimately, existentially satisfying.

Bonus: Revisiting My Last Podcast Episode With Dr. Timothy Keller
This the last podcast I did with Dr. Timothy Keller who passed away on Friday May 19, 2023, after battling pancreatic cancer. He was 72. It is with such a heavy heart that I think of him this day and this last podcast. He was my pastor and my mentor. He influenced millions through the ministry at Redeemer Presbyterian Church and his books. He brought untold numbers of people to Christ. For me I know there would be no Lighthouse Faith podcast without Tim Keller, because there would be no Lighthouse Faith book… because Tim Keller taught me and countless others how to find a deeper level of faith in Jesus Christ that we never imagined was possible. Tim lived to glorify God through faith in Jesus Christ. We honor him by doing the same.

Patterns of Evidence: New Documentary Explores Location of Mt. Sinai, God's Holy Mountain
It is the site where Moses first saw the burning bush, where God commanded him to tell Pharoah, "Let my people go!" It is where the Israelites traveled to after being freed from slavery in Egypt, by God's Holy hand, and where He gave them His law, The Ten Commandments. Mount Sinai is a critical and monumental part of the redemptive narrative in the Bible. And yet archeologists have not definitively pinpointed its exact location. St. Catherine's Eastern Orthodox Monastery is built in the Sinai Peninsula, where tradition holds Mt. Sinai sits, but yet there's no archeological evidence that over a million people were there, or camped there, or created a Golden Calf to worship after growing tired of waiting for Moses who spent some 40 days atop the mountain receiving the law. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, documentary filmmaker Tim Mahoney talks about his new "Patterns of Evidence" documentary "Journey To Mount Sinai." Mahoney says he's uncovered evidence that points to Mt. Sinai being in a totally different location than archeologists have previously explored, which is why they've found few fragments of clues indicating the site. In fact, Mahoney's film highlights five possible locations, the strongest one being in Saudia Arabia. The film will be released through Fathom Events May 15-17.

Radio Host Kevin McCullough on the Left's Obsession with "Christian Nationalism"
If you're not exactly sure what Christian Nationalism is, just keep watching or reading mainstream media outlets and you'll learn a lot of negative things about it, and by default, Christianity. What's clear is that it's a term meant to evoke fear and loathing. In fact, the majority of people who've heard of Christian Nationalism see it as something negative. Why is that? Because it's primarily a term liberals wield in order to marginalize conservative Christians who are pro-life, support traditional marriage and gender roles and love America. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, author and radio host Kevin McCullough speaks frankly about how liberals and some left-leaning Christians are using the term to set up the proverbial political bogey man, in order to 'cancel' those who use their faith to defend life and family, and that they're trying to change the narrative about what it means to be Christian. McCullough also has a lot to say about the need to push back against the transgender movement. The country is at a crossroads. Though it is still possible to raise a voice in opposition, McCullough warns that freedom is precariously unstable.

Bible under freedom of speech and religion
You are always a delight Lauren, and Paivi was calm and clear about her beliefs. I pray she makes a compelling case for the Bible to the legislature in Finland.
Love this!
I love this podcast! I only wish Lauren would feel comfortable going over approximately 30 minutes. It’s great! Keep talking! <3
The Catholic vote: part 2
I always like to hear a different point of viewBut I just don’t understand where this person is coming from. He doesn’t like President Trump for his reasons but I think they’re invalid and the reasons he likes Biden’s are invalid. I pretty much disagree with absolutely everything Mr Carr believes
