The Christian Worldview David Wheaton

GUEST: MARY JANE WHEATON, David’s Mom
God designed marriage to be between one man and one woman for life, for husband and wife to love each other, embrace mutually beneficial roles, and raise children to love and obey God. The family is the protective nest, a place of intended peace, that results in Godly individuals and thus God-fearing societies.
If one had to state just one reason why our nation is awash in rampant dysfunction, false ideologies, violence, incarceration, drug use, sexual immorality, and all manner of other societal ills, the breakdown of the family would be at the top of the list. Divorce, children being raise by single parents, and hostility between members of the family are all-too-common today.
Because the family is so important to God, it is under constant assault by Satan. America has changed so much over the last 60+ years, mostly in God-dishonoring ways. My 90-year-old mother has lived through this great cultural change. She and my dad, who went to be with His Savior and Lord last year, were blessed to be saved by God in their mid-20s. They took the Word of God seriously as it pertains to marriage, parenting, and discipleship.
The good news is that in a shifting culture, Christians can thrive, whether married or single. My Mom joins us this Mother’s Day weekend to describe what it was like to live through a time of great cultural change all the while standing firm on the truth of God’s Word.

GUEST: SOEREN KERN, Geopolitical Analyst and Writing Fellow for Middle East Forum
Hamas, an Islamic militant group bent on Israel’s destruction, launches a surprise attack on Oct. 7 from their territory in Gaza into southern Israel, butchering 1200 civilians and taking captive hundreds more. The Israeli military responds by invading Gaza to decimate Hamas and bring home the captives.
And who do students and professors on campuses all over America rise up to oppose? Israel!
This is the Red-Green axis—the Reds (Leftists, Marxists, Communists) and the Greens (Islamists) share common cause in their hatred for the Biblical God, the God of the Jews and the God of Christians, who built Western Civilization and the accompanying values of marriage, family, free speech and markets, and private property. It must be burned down.
So they rage. And God, who sits in the heavens laughs…“But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.” Psalm 2
Soeren Kern, a Christian geopolitical analyst and writing fellow for Middle East Forum joins us on The Christian Worldview to explain what is going on in the Middle East and how it’s related to Russia invading Ukraine and China rattling its sabres with Taiwan. We will also discuss the response (or lack of response) by pastors and churches.

GUEST: HALEY ERICKSON, Christian Nutrition Coach and Personal Trainer
While there is great diversity in the world—religion, culture, socio-economic, geographic, personal experience, family background, education, etc.—there are some things we all have in common. One of them is a physical body.
It’s interesting to note that God spoke everything into existence except for Adam (man), which God formed the “dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Gen. 2:7). God didn’t have to create a physical body for Adam but He did. And that’s significant.
We often focus on the immaterial part of our life—our soul and spirit—but let’s consider that God designed a material, physical body to “embody” the soul and spirit.
So how should we view and care for the body God gives us? As temporary, decaying, and therefore fairly unimportant? Thus, “eat, drink, and be sedentary for tomorrow we die”.
Or should we view and care for the body as a “temple of the Holy Spirit” (1 Cor. 6)? And what exactly does that mean in practical ways with regard to eating, exercise, and rest.
We hope you tune in this weekend to The Christian Worldview, as we will examine the under-examined topic of our physical bodies.

Overcomer Course for Young Adults

GUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, journalist and author, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death
It was a highly-informative and captivating evening Friday, April 12 at The Christian Worldview Speaker Series event with Alex Newman at Beacon of Hope Church in St. Paul as he spoke on “The Push for Global Governance” and how issues like public education, environmentalism, health care, monetary policy, technology, well, most everything is used to accomplish man’s dystopian dream of global governance.
Their mentality: “If only the elite, educated, and intelligent amongst us could unite the world around a global leader, then we could bring peace, eradicate poverty, and achieve equity for all.” They work toward all religions uniting in this pursuit, believing that all have “shared values” like doing good to their fellow man.
We will be making Alex’s message that evening available soon. It was about 50 minutes and we don’t have enough time to play that today. But we do have time to play the Q & A with Alex, which followed his message. Several topics he wasn’t able to get to in his message were brought out in the Q & A, such as immigration, voting integrity, technology and artificial intelligence, and the current wars are in Ukraine and Israel.
You can still order Alex’s new book Indoctrinating Our Children to Death for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview. Lots of attendees got the book at the event and Alex was nice to do an impromptu book signing.

Indoctrinating Our Children to Death:
 Government Schools’ War on Faith, Family, & Freedom – And How to Stop It

Our host, David Wheaton, is speaking at the upcoming Be Not Conformed conference in St. Croix Falls, WI on May 4-5, 2024.  The conference will be held at Eureka Baptist Church and features Seth Brickley, Russell Fuller, Jon Harris, Jeff Kliewer and David Wheaton.

GUEST: BRAD KLASSEN, professor and teacher, Men of the Word
You’ve heard about “the war on men”. In fact, Owen Strachan, author of a book by that title was interviewed on The Christian Worldview on Nov. 18, 2023.
Owen described how our society seeks to emasculate men in order to stamp out what they call “toxic masculinity”. At a more fundamental level, what animates this war is a rejection of God and his design and role for men. Instead of being the leaders, cultivators, and protectors God designed, men become passive, weak, and cowardly.
The way back from this morass isn’t as superficial as an in-your-face dressing-down by a drill sergeant or calls from the social media “manosphere” to “man up”. Nor is it as simple as engaging in manly things, like operating a chain saw or pumping iron in the gym.
Our guest this weekend, Brad Klassen, Professor of Bible Exposition at The Master’s Seminary and teacher of Grace Community Church’s men’s group “Men of the Word”, will explain how reclaiming Biblical manhood starts inside the mind and the heart.
For when a man’s mind is renewed according to Scripture (i.e. Romans 12:1-2) and when he is fueled by a love for God over himself and over the things of the world, God does a transforming work to make a man what He designed him to be.

GUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, author, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death
Most Christians who discern the times know that the U.S. public education system (i.e. government-run schools) is humanistic to the core (humanism being the worldview/religion where man is the highest authority). Under the banner of “separation of church and state”, subversives have successfully removed from government schools the most important subject to understand truth/reality—God.
Capturing and secularizing the education system has been the top goal of God-rejecting Marxists for well over 100 years, according to Alex Newman, our guest this weekend and the author of an eye-opening new book, Indoctrinating Our Children to Death. While Americans were once educated at home or privately in an explicitly Christian way, today government schools are radically anti-Christian, propagandizing children with evolution, graphic sexual content, gender confusion, and globalism.
In reading Alex’s book, it’s far, far worse than you think and the chaos in families, children, and broader society shows the rotten fruit.
This weekend on The Christian Worldview, Alex Newman will give us a taste of what he will present in full at our Speaker Series event this coming Friday, April 12 at Beacon of Hope Church in St. Paul, MN. There he will show how the push for global governance relies heavily on taking captive young minds in the public education system—and the environmental movement—in their quest for a God-less utopia.
Seating for the Speakers Series event this coming Friday, April 12 is now 85% filled so be sure to register as soon as possible if you would like to attend. Go to our website or call us at 1-888-646-2233. There is no admission cost but we ask you to consider a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.
