Politics By Faith w/Mike Slater

In this episode of Politics by Faith, we examine how Scripture has shaped—and been shaped by—debates over war throughout history. From just-war theory to calls for peace, we explore the enduring tension between faith, power, and the sword. Mike is joined by Ryan 'Max Afterburner' Bodenheimer and Pastor Douglas Wilson to discuss in part two of two.

In this episode of Politics by Faith, we examine how Scripture has shaped—and been shaped by—debates over war throughout history. From just-war theory to calls for peace, we explore the enduring tension between faith, power, and the sword. Mike is joined by Mike Baker of the President's Daily Brief in part one of two to discuss.

JD Vance was asked, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much confidence he has that he's going to heaven. How would you answer that question? The Bible is clear about what your answer should be.

Why are we unwilling to describe things or people as "evil"? We're so quick to go to brain chemistry or hormones or one's childhood to explain evil behavior, and it may be part of it, but evil also, exists in our world. If we don't acknowledge it, we'll only have more of it.

Would you have imagined, 25 years ago, that the future governor of New York would be wearing a hijab on the upcoming anniversary of September 11th? Here we are! This is a capitulation to Sharia Law. It won't be the last, unless we see them coming. 

The Wall Street Journal wrote an article about how Syracuse University doesn't have enough students to keep the school afloat. I have 5 reasons why this is happening. And since these places are Godless propaganda factories, is it good that they're going belly up?

Any other presidential administration would have ignored this injustice, but the Trump Administration defended this American scholar because it's the right thing to do. Dr. Cofnas is a controversial figure because he talks about IQ and racial differences. IQ is an interesting topic, but I believe Christians should focus on a different aspect of life.

Children in school are suffering. Why is that? Jesse Kelly and Mike Slater investigate. Mike also dives into how Islam is conquering America and what Christians must do to respond.

Any organization that is not explicitly Christian will eventually become pagan. The Muslims infiltrated the Boy Scouts years ago; it was just a matter of time before the Girl Scouts fell, too. And they won't be the last, but why does this keep happening?

Abdul El-Sayed, the DSA candidate for senator of Michigan, just revealed a major tell about where his allegiances are. Does he consider himself an American? Can someone who considers themselves a foreigner be given the chance to represent the people of Michigan in the US Senate?

META agreed to a $16 billion settlement, but more importantly, agreed to certain "protections" for teenagers' accounts. Do you trust META with your kid's soul?

I said the other day that we are a country made up of families who live in towns. That seems obvious, but we don't act like it. We act like we're a nation of individuals who live on the globe. Dolly was someone who loved her family and loved her town. That being said, her death should be a reminder of the message of Psalm 49.

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy was hesitant to allow his daughter to go to Harvard. He eloquently stated his hesitation, and I would like to add another concern I'd have about sending my daughter to college. If you just dropped any of your kids off at college, what are your prayers for them?

Someone called in the other day and said he owns a strip club, but he's willing to get out of the business. Let's help, Greg! And lest we get on our high horse because we don't own a strip club, we should all be like the people outside of Simon's house asking for Jesus' help.

The bible actually says A LOT about money. What does it say? Mike Slater first asks Liberty University professor Kurt Cornfield, who spent most of his career in the financial world. Mike then catches up with Pastor Tom Ascol of Founders Ministries for some biblical perspective on money.

What does the bible say about money? Mike Slater dives into some key biblical principles to understand before having a deeper conversation about the economy in general with Steve Cortes.

I only see two differences between the Democrats and DSA at the moment: speed and honesty. Where the Democrats want to slow-roll us to communism and are sneaky about it, DSA wants communism yesterday and they're blatant about it. I have an example of each, and then we'll talk about the importance of doing everything "God's Way".

Watch out for Tiktok detectives trying to solve the murder case of these 3 precious children. The fallen-human's desire to know everything can lead people to dark places.

Reports are spreading that life aboard the aircraft carrier USS Lincoln is difficult and uncomfortable. How bad are things? There's not enough fresh milk. I'll tell you why the media is spreading this story and what the truth is.

Hayden Panettiere was a child actress and was rich and famous. She, among too many others, is a tragic reminder that none of these things bring happiness. It's always good to be reminded of where we must find rest and peace.

In this country, there are people "of the Devil," and there are people "of Christ." We are called to build. The rest are dead set on destruction. Whether it's institutions, organizations, or statues and memorials, those of the Devil can't stop destroying everything that is good, beautiful, and true.

Communists and Marxists have developed countless ways to distort truth, manipulate language, and reshape how people understand reality. The conversation also examines the growing alliance between radical Muslim movements and the communist left, along with the dangers of embracing radical DSA ideology. Mike Slater speaks with James Lindsay about the ideological forces working to transform Western society.

Mike Slater sits down with Pastor Allen Jackson for a deep dive into The Great Deception — the biblical warning that Satan's strategy is to deceive humanity and pull people away from the Word of God. They examine how deception has infected modern politics and the media, why some human behavior is genuinely evil and requires the courage to call it what it is, and how Satan can deceive the Church itself. The conversation is ultimately about recognizing lies, returning to Scripture, and refusing to let deception replace truth.

There isn't a financial advisor in the country who would tell you that gambling your money is part of a diversified portfolio, but 52% of Gen Z has taken money out of their investments to gamble on sports. The Bible doesn't talk about gambling specifically, but it does talk about loss of hope and complaining, which are the roots of this gambling epidemic. 

The Communists are excellent at knowing what is good, beautiful, and true. They must in order to tear it down. They recognize that the foundation of America is marriage, so they've been trying to undermine it in every way. AOC is a victim of this, as proven by a 1920 essay by the highest-ranking woman in the Russian Revolution.

A "church" in Texas endorsed pro-baby-killing James Talarico for Senate. Why does it seem that certain kinds of "churches" have no hesitation ot get involved with politics, but others remain silent? Maybe we should change that.

AOC announced that, at the age of 36, she is freezing her eggs so she can keep pursuing her career (and run for president). This type of planning is referred to in the Bible as "alazoneia".

A JetBlue airplane took a 5-second nosedive off the coast of Florida. As the investigators went through all of the possible reasons why, you won't believe the reason they landed on.

From political scandals and violent unrest to some of the biggest headlines of the past two decades, a troubling pattern has emerged: those in power often escape consequences while ordinary Americans are held to a different standard. Mike Slater, Vince Miller and Pastor Douglas Wilson examine how abandoning biblical accountability has reshaped America's institutions and why true justice begins with God's standard—not man's. They explain why a society that rejects moral responsibility ultimately undermines itself.

Every person struggles with weakness, temptation, and failure—but the pursuit of virtue has always defined strong societies. Mike Slater and Andrew Klavan examine why accountability, personal responsibility, and moral character are disappearing from American culture, and what that means for the future. They explore why embracing our flaws instead of excusing them may be the first step toward rebuilding the country.

There is an online discussion about inflation and the "$20 burrito". There is a lot of talking past each other on this issue. We're 3 months from the midterms; we have to make sure our messaging is on point on this issue.

***Kids Warning*** The news says that Perez Hilton had a "self-harm episode" or some euphemism like that. It was much worse than most could imagine. How did this happen? And were there demonic forces at work?

NY Democrats have proposed a bill that will apply a 10% discount to all items you buy using the self-checkout. Why? What's the real purpose of this bill? Hint: it is NOT to save you money.

Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is the frontrunner in the Democratic primary in MI for Senate. Republican consultants think the Republican candidate has a better chance against this extremist, but I think we shouldn't play with fire.

The scenes coming out of Spain looked like something out of the movie World War Z. But how quickly we've forgotten, it's not that different from what happened across our border under Biden for 4 years. What exactly happened in Spain, and what does the Bible say about betrayal from a nation's leaders?

Lust has become one of the most powerful forces shaping modern culture, affecting people of every age and stage of life. Mike Slater and Daniel Guinn examine why this struggle is so widespread, how it distorts our relationship with God and others, and what Scripture teaches about overcoming temptation. Their conversation offers practical, biblical guidance for pursuing purity in a world saturated with sexual temptation.

Why does evil exist, and why can't humanity seem to escape it? In this special, Mike Slater unpacks the biblical meaning of sin and explains why Scripture presents it as the source of every broken relationship, destructive choice, and moral failure. Building on that foundation, Katy Faust joins the conversation to examine how the consequences of sin have rippled through our culture, reshaping the family, elevating adult desires above the well-being of children, and leaving the next generation to bear consequences they never chose.

A 16-year-old lifeguard saved the life of a 10-year-old boy in California. It's a beautiful sight. We should honor the lifeguard's bravery and skill. We should also be in awe at the power of God's creation. The bible speaks a lot about the ocean and waves. Why does God use this metaphor?

5th Amendment Fauci took the 5th to every question in his hearing yesterday. This is an odd choice because he was already given a pardon. Was telling the truth more dangerous than being in contempt of Congress? I don't know if he'll ever be in handcuffs, but I do know he'll be judged by God in the end. We all will.

I can't believe Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch could be so ignorant about our founding. I can only assume he's "just" a coward. I'm always happy to defend the Christian roots of our country.

Somehow, Rand Paul published Tony Fauci's diary. The contents of the diary prove, of course, that he lied, but it also reveals a fact about human nature: people like to be exalted by men. But we all know what happens after Pride...

Will the media make this story another George Floyd? It depends on how much it helps Democrats. It will have an effect on the Wisconsin governor's primary coming up in 3 weeks. But more importantly, how should we react to this police shooting? This...JUSTIFIED police shooting.

KIDS WARNING for today's episode. We talk about the magic word that certain people can say and other people cannot say. But is saying this word illegal? And should we be judged on our worst day?

Archaeological discoveries and ancient historical records have fueled the debate over the Old Testament for generations. From excavated cities to ancient inscriptions, the evidence continues to raise one fundamental question: do these discoveries support the biblical account? Mike Slater is joined by Dinesh D'Souza to examine the historical case for the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is filled with incredible stories that have shaped history, faith, and civilization for thousands of years—but did those events actually happen? Mike Slater explores the historical evidence, archaeological discoveries, and biblical accounts behind some of Scripture's most well-known moments while examining what they mean for believers today. Watch this special edition of Politics By Faith and decide for yourself.

Powerball exists in 45 states and now it's going global! But is it bad if it's never directly mentioned in the Bible?

"Conservative" commentator Guy Benson got another motherless child from surrogacy. Many "conservatives" have congratulated him. Why? If we want to conserve anything worth conserving, we need to have the courage to speak the truth.

The State Department issued a 100 page report about how Cuba has been the source of Communism in America. Communists have been around for a while in America, but there is one fundamental difference today. We break it down today and talk about the best way, maybe the only way, we can stop the rise of communism in America.

When we live in a culture of death, it's just a matter of time before we treat babies like a commodity to be bought, sold and slaughtered on a whim. When a baby is, we're told, just a "clump of cells", why would we treat their life as sacred? We have two terrible stories to show how far we've fallen and then one story that shows we still have hope.

New York's affordability crisis is forcing working families and seniors out of the communities they've called home for decades, as rising costs, higher taxes, and years of political decisions continue to reshape the state's future. Mike Slater sits down with Councilwoman Vickie Paladino to examine why so many believe these policies have made New York increasingly unaffordable. Pastor Douglas Wilson then joins to discuss communism's devastating legacy around the world, why it has long been viewed as incompatible with Christianity, and why ideas rooted in the ideology are gaining renewed attention in America.

The Democratic Socialists of America have gone from a relatively small political organization to a rapidly growing force within the Democrat Party. As the DSA expanded its membership, organized chapters across the country, and helped elect candidates who embrace its platform, policies once considered far outside the political mainstream have gained influence. Mike Slater examines the rise of the DSA, its growing impact on the direction of the Democrat Party, and what that could mean for the future of American politics.

The president gve his speech from the White House about now-unclassified incofmation on election fraud. There were 4 main accusations. We break them all down on the show today. We then go the Bible to prove that whenever there is money or power to gain, people will lie, cheat and steal there way to it.

Our special this weekend is about the rise of DSA. Mamdani is just the beginning; it's about to get a lot worse from these Third World Marxists in America. The president says these communists pose a bigger threat to America than WWI and WWII and any threat we've ever faced. Today's episode is an intro to DSA, and we talk about the most important weapon we have to fight the darkness.

"Young Washington" was spectacular! Go see it as soon as possible, and no, I wasn’t paid to say any of this. Bring everyone you know. No one could not love it. I was able to talk to the director of the movie and learn how important it was to them to be historically accurate. The movie also celebrates the truth that God protected George Washington and is intimately involved in the affairs of this nation. 

If you were the governor of South Carolina, would you go with the strategic move to replace Lindsey Graham, or the sentimental choice? The president made his recommendation!

Senator Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly at the age of 71. What should we say about a politician's passing if we disagree with them on many issues? What can we learn from the life, and death, of prominent US Senators?

Democrat Governor Tim Walz went out of his way to protect this child molesting illegal alien from deportation. Why would he do such a thing? How could anyone defend this? We need to be a society that is much more severe against this sin and the people who enable it.

The One Big Beautiful Bill last year made some reforms to food stamps. It's now been a year, and the Washington Post searched for some sob stories about how Trump is cruel and awful. But what does the Bible say about food stamps?

We've been told since the 90's that when it comes to elections, "It's the economy, stupid". I believe we have it backwards. If we seek first the most important things, a thriving economy will follow.

Bryan Johnson is a super-rich tech bro who thinks he can biohack his way to immortality. He was just diagnosed with an incurable disease. We can criticize his foolishness, but the truth is, we aren't much different from him.

Communists hate the rich (until they become the rich). Elon is the first trillionaire in the world, but he's not the first rich person the communists have tried to tear down. But why do they hate the rich? It's not for economic reasons.

The President mentioned communists winning elections across America in all three of his speeches over Independence weekend. There are many arguments to make against Marxism. We are going to focus on the Biblical truths to take down the Third World Marxists.

You can’t remove the Bible from life and still claim to follow God—faith and scripture have always been inseparable in shaping belief and morality. For generations, ideas of God, liberty, and human purpose were deeply connected in the way America understood itself and its future. Mike Slater examines how the Founding Fathers consistently referenced scripture and how that worldview shaped the nation’s foundation.

America’s founding story has been heavily filtered, with key evidence of its Christian foundation often left out of the mainstream narrative. The historical record, the Founding Fathers’ beliefs, and the early documents that shaped the nation point to a foundation that’s frequently overlooked today. Mike Slater and William Wolfe lay out what’s been omitted—and why it reshapes how America’s past and future are understood.

America’s Christian roots shaped its laws, institutions, and culture in ways that are impossible to separate from the nation’s founding. After generations of cultural drift, many are asking whether the Church still has a role to play in shaping the future of American society. Mike Slater and Dr. Hunter Baker examine America’s Christian foundation, the Church’s influence on public life, and whether it can reclaim its place in the culture.

America’s founding wasn’t just political—it was deeply rooted in faith and a belief in something greater than government itself. As the nation approaches its 250th year, questions about its original purpose and spiritual foundation are being brought back into focus. Mike Slater explores the role of God in America’s founding and what reconnecting with those roots could mean for the country today.

The era of the "tolerant" Christian has to be over. We can have no more tolerance for sin. We have to be as shrewd as snakes amongst the wolves.

The definition of manhood is being rewritten in real time—socially, culturally, and spiritually. A growing divide is forming between modern ideas of masculinity and the biblical standard that once shaped generations. Mike Slater and Pastor Joby Martin explore identity, responsibility, and what it truly means to be a man today.

As screens become more influential than faith, many young Americans are being pulled further from the values that once anchored their lives. Technology is shaping the next generation in ways few parents fully understand. Mike Slater and Colin Elliott explore how the internet is reshaping the beliefs, priorities, and values of America’s youth.

America is more divided than ever—socially, culturally, and spiritually. What’s driving that divide raises urgent questions about whether a return to foundational Judeo-Christian values is the key to rebuilding unity in a fractured nation. Mike Slater and Pastor Allen Jackson discuss faith, identity, and the path forward for America.

The battle for our children’s hearts and minds is shaping the future of our country in real time. As culture grows louder and traditional values face new challenges, the questions surrounding faith, family, and the next generation have never been more important. Mike Slater and Auron Macintyre explore where these worlds collide and discuss what it means for parents, believers, and America in 2026.

It's been 4 years since Roe V Wade was overturned, and there are more abortions than ever. Its time we take this seriously in America. God's judgment is on us.

These Third World Marxists are a new level of extreme within the Democratic party. Do you think they'll stay isolated to NYC and a few other major cities, or are these Marxists going to infect the entire country?

Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, of all places, said he "hates Christianity". This is no surprise. He also has no idea about the historical importance of the 10 Commandments to America or the importance of the 10 Commandments to everyone in the world.

This 9-0 Supreme Court decision is undoubtedly a win for the 2nd Amendment. But is it good for America?

We can't ever forget the insanity of the COVID era. The ringleader of it all was Dr. Fauci, who Tulsi Gabbard has proven to be a liar once again. The Bible is clear; there is never a good lie.

Was Jesus a weak man—or was He the strongest man who ever lived? Christ didn't just teach truth; He conquered sin and offered redemption to those who fall short, including fathers. Mike Slater and Kyle Thompson reflect on what it means for men to lead their families from a place of grace, purpose, and victory.

The most important job in the world doesn't come with a paycheck—it comes with a purpose. Strong fathers build strong families, strong communities, and a stronger nation. Mike Slater celebrates the mission, responsibility, and joy of fatherhood.

I love when pagans criticize Christians for not being "Christian enough" or the right type of Christian that they would prefer. Obviously, don't listen to them, but what does the Bible say about the words we speak and the tone we should have?

What do mass immigration, soft-on-crime policies, and woke churches all have in common? All of these are led by woke women. God spoke against this clearly, and we thought we knew better.

The Rape Gang Inquiry report was released in England. It's more horrendous than anyone could imagine. They believe over 250,000 white British girls were trafficked in England. These crimes were committed by Muslim men, again, IN England. Every story they told of how this happened followed the same 3-step outline.

The president hosted an incredible event in the White House. If you had the microphone for 30 seconds to talk to over 100 million people, what would you say?

We are told Americans don't like soccer. I'm not sure that's true. The first World Cup game had more viewers than any game in the NBA Finals. Either way, it's interesting how much God uses sports to describe how we should live our life on earth. Run your race, receive the prize, and whatever you do, don't beat the air.

Is America great? Mike Slater and Steve Deace discuss. Steve also promotes his new book, Why Independence Day? Plus, Mike dives into a short story that has a lot of meaning to America today.

America is celebrating it's 250th birthday. Despite what you may have been taught in school, it is crystal clear that God was behind the foundation of America. Want proof? Mike Slater chats with American University professor Daniel Dreisbach, who lays out the evidence.

What is your policy on what to do when you see a homeless person on the sidewalk asking for money? One of the problems with allowing drug addicts and the mentally ill to live on the streets is it makes us callous to human life. What does the Bible say we should do about this?

With the attempted beheading in Belfast and other heinous crimes from 3rd world migrants here and in Europe, mass migration is again coming to the forefront. The perception is that mass migration is cruel and terrible. But the truth is, government-led mass deportations are the moderate option. We should take this action while we still can.

A man from Sudan tried to behead a man in a street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. When will it be enough for the people of Europe and America? When will we reverse this Third World migration? What does the Bible say about this?

Will you see Steven Spielberg's new movie? Do we need more things in our culture causing us to question the existence of God? Luke 19 has some insight into what we should do with Spielberg's offer.

We once had a God-fearing society. Then the pagans came in and threw God out of our culture, but thought they could keep all the good stuff. They were wrong. And one of those things that we lost was the ability to dispense justice through a jury system. Unfortunately, Pagan tribalism killed the jury system in America.

Mike Slater chats about America's founding with Eric Metaxas and how Christianity ties into it all, as well as the battle taking place against it. Plus, Billy Hallowell joins Mike Slater for a thoughtful discussion about the return of American va

Mike Slater chats with Seth Gruber, author of The Last Stand, about American values, Christian values and the forces working against them.

A popular YouTuber announced that they murdered their baby because a genetic test determined their baby might have Down Syndrome. What should the pro-life response be to this family?

Have you ever heard of the Black Robe Regiment? I haven't either, but when you hear what the Black Robe Regiment meant to America 250 years ago compared to what we're working with today, it makes sense why we're not where we need to be.

Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old White British man, was murdered by a 23-year-old man of Pakistani heritage. The Pakistani man told police Nowak committed a racism. Police arrested Nowak as he was dying from stab wounds to the chest. Nowak said, "I can't breathe," but police didn't care. Don't expect any George Floyd-like response this time. 

We would never have a parade honoring any other sin. Why does homosexuality get a pass? I wonder if there's ever been a more successful propaganda effort to change our culture than the gay activists. Their run needs to end.

California is voting in its primary. Can the two Republicans come out on top of the governor's race and make the Democrats' plan for power backfire? And can Spencer Pratt make the top 2 in the mayor race and continue his campaign until November? Either way, he has the perfect attitude, which we all need to have in everything we do in our lives.

In this interview, Mike Slater and Colin Elliott discuss Colin’s personal testimony of faith and transformation. He shares how a difficult season in his life led him to wrestle with suffering, judgment, and grace, ultimately shaping his understanding of God. The conversation explores how hardship can become a turning point toward meaning and belief.

Mike Slater is joined by Gad Saad to discuss his new book and explore the idea that modern Western societies may be becoming “too nice” for their own good. Saad argues that well-intentioned kindness can be exploited and may be contributing to cultural and political imbalances. The conversation digs into how these dynamics show up in academia, media, and public policy.

In this interview, host Mike Slater sits down with classicist and author Spencer Klavan to explore the origins of American Christianity and the cultural forces that shaped its early development. They discuss how theology, politics, and history intersected in the formation of American religious identity. The conversation challenges common assumptions and uncovers surprising layers of influence behind one of America’s most defining traditions.

Mike Slater sits down with Richard C. Lyons to unpack what “the pursuit of happiness” really means beyond the common clichés. They explore how modern interpretations often miss the original intent behind the phrase and what it looks like in practice today. The conversation dives into practical insights on fulfillment, purpose, and how to rethink happiness in everyday life.

I know we're not electing an elder of our church, but the blasphemy coming from the Democrat candidate for Senate in Texas is really something else. Let's debunk a few of his greatest hits.

Multiple graduation speakers spoke about the wonders of Artificial Intelligence. They got booed by the graduating seniors. I was surprised, but encouraged, by their reactions. The Pope also came out and spoke about the dangers of AI, but I want to make sure we have the right concerns at the forefront. 

We give a humble tribute to 13 service members who we add to the list of Americans who gave their lives fighting for this country. We also go over Rudyard Kipling's poem "Recessional" on this Memorial Day.

Scripture calls for us to resist the devil so that he will flee from us. So how do we do that? Mike Slater goes through five ways and then focuses in on another big one. Worship. Sean Feucht is the founder of Let Us Worship. He joins Mike to discuss worship and his new book No Turning Back.

Who is the Devil? Culture says one thing, but the bible says another. Mike Slater dives into the scripture alongside Pastor Tom Ascol, President of Founders Ministries.

Someone made up a new euphemism, the "teen takeover"! Also known as a "riot". How do we stop these? Should we arrest the parents? The Trump Administration thinks so, and can do it in DC.

Jeff Bezos makes the point that his for-profit companies benefit people more than his charity ever could. He's right, but we can't fall into the athiestic thinking that either of these things are what matters most. We can't lose sight of the most important thing in this world, which many are giving away to the lowest bidder.

Thomas Massie lost his congressional seat. This is 3 races in a few weeks where the Trump endorsed candidates beat the incumbents. What does this mean for MAGA moving forward? And, why libertarianism isn't the same as being conservative.

The Democrats need an issue to beat the Republicans on, and to our shame, their most successful issue ot get out the vote is killing babies. With the recent Supreme Court action on abortion, get ready for this to be back on the top of the news. We need to be ready with the truth.

My wife's favorite country singer is Eric Church, and his commencement address at UNC is proof of why he's so great. Sit back and enjoy his description of the 6 strings of a guitar and the 6 pillars of life.

Andrew Klavan converted from Judaism to Christianity years ago. He joins Mike Slater to discuss his conversion, as well as the war on Christianity taking place in America today.

There is a war on Christianity taking place across the world right now. Mike Slater dives into that war and explains exactly what is going on. Mike then brings on Pastor Mark Driscoll, who has a message for American church leaders.

The left is infected with suicidal empathy. Many conservatives are trying to find the right amount of empathy, but I argue that empathy isn't even a virtue we should be striving for. 

Some states argue that property taxes are burdensome and unfair, particularly for seniors and those no longer benefiting from public education. What does the bible say?

As Trump and his team are headed to China to meet with Xi, we have another Chinese spy in America exposed. Americans would not believe how deep the infiltration of Chinese communists is in our government. 

Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of LA. He's rising in the polls and has a few weeks left to convince the 40% of undecided voters that he is the person who can make LA livable again. His messaging has been spot on.

Is the hantavirus going to turn into another global pandemic? Why did we let them off the boat and why are they coming to Nebraska? 

Mike Slater welcomes Kyrie from the Transformed Homemakers Society (transformedhomemakerssociety.com) for a discussion about motherhood. The two discuss tips that every Christian mother needs to hear.

Why do so many women feel lost today? It's not an accident. Mike Slater explains how it happened. He then talks to Reagan Conrad from The Daily Wire about her pregnancy and motherhood journey. She reveals what she's learned along the way.

You'd think Disney would take extra precautions to check their employees, especially foreigners working with kids. But, it is Disney after all. But could there really be people against arresting and deporting these foreign pedophiles? What do we do with these people?

Trump warned the RINOs of Indiana. It was a risky bet from Trump, but he crushed the establishment of Indiana. How did this happen? Why did Trump do this? And what will the consequences of this be beyond Indiana?

Rudy didn't even die yet and the Left was already writing nasty obituaries. You can't count on your legacy being accurately written by the media and people who hate you. Our obituaries won't be written by CNN, so how should we think about leaving a legacy? What does the Bible say about legacy?

Gas prices are too high. Don't think the Democrats are the solution to this problem, they'd prefer gas to be $12 a gallon! The Bible can offer us wisdom on how to make it through this time.

There are more foreign scammers taking advantage of Americans than ever before. I got tricked recently! Some scammers took some of my money. Today we share some tips to make sure you or your loved ones aren't tricked by these sinners.

What are guardian angels? How do they line up with scripture? Mike Slater breaks this down, but not before a conversation about U.S. history with Jarrett Stepman of the Daily Signal.

There have been many attempts on Trump's life. Mike Slater breaks them down and dives into the most recent one with Mike Baker of the President's Daily Brief podcast.

The DOJ released a 564-page report on the anti-Christian bias from the Biden administration. Today, we'll focus on one action they did that prevented Christians from being "doers of the Word".

Finally, and you could tell Justice Thomas has been waiting for this moment for 30 years, the Supreme Court ruled that gerrymandering districts just for black people is racist. Republicans could gain 12 seats from this decision, but more importantly, it leads us away from being a racist society.

The left keeps making the claim that people on the right commit more crimes than people on the left. Is that true? No, it's not, and I prove it and then answer the question Pilate posed to Jesus, "What is truth?"

We're being told that there is more right-wing violence than left wing vilence. Is that true? And does rhetoric cause violence? And if so, does that mean we can't speak the truth anymore?

The president says that only someone who is sick in the head would attempt to do something like this. And yes, of course, they are sick in the head, but according to the Bible, the source of that sickness comes from somewhere else.

The head coach of the Patriots and the NY Times NFL reporter have been caught in adultery. Adultery, it seems we've forgotten, is one of the 10 Commandments. This sin isn't met with the proper condemnation it deserves, and I think I know why.

It turns out the Southern Poverty Law Center was giving money to neo-nazi groups so they would go to neo-nazi things and then the SPLC could fundraise off of the rise of neo-nazi groups and call you a neo-nazi. Well done to the FBI for uncovering this fraud. But a lot of damage was done, including the "Greatest Hoax Ever Told".

Someone committed an abomination in Louisiana. But this could have been prevented many years ago. Unfortunately, many people have a misaligned compassion not rooted in truth. Fortunatly, t's not too late to save more lives.

The NY Times featured two young people who took drastic and shameful lengths to avoid paying their student debt. The Bible addresses this issue.

I don't remember a time the NY Times admitted they were wrong about something. I'm ashamed to admit, I was also wrong on this issue. It's time we change course. And if it's applicable to you personally, it's time to examine yourself.

The Mayor of NYC has a new tax on rich people in NYC. It, of course, will cause even more rich people to leave the city, but he doesn't care. We compare this policy with Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, "Blessed are the poor in spirit."

The Senators are back from their much-needed vacation. They work so hard that they needed a good two weeks off. Is the sarcasm thick enough? Why are Republican Senators the worst? They can't pass obvious legislation like the SAVE Act or even pass a funding bill. It's because they haven't followed Jesus' message in Mathew 5:38

After the Pope criticised Trump's actions in Iran, the president said the Pope should focus more on being Pope and not a politician. What exactly was the Pope's criticism of Trump? And when the Pope referenced Isaiah 1, surely he wasn't suggesting Trump is anything like King Ahaz, right?

It's been an open secret among Democrats that women should stay away from Congressman Eric Swalwell. So why are all of these accusations coming out now? And what can we learn from Numbers 17?

If the president says he's going to bomb Iran, the left says he's a war criminal. When he doesn't bomb Iran, the left says he's a coward and always chickens out. You can't help the Trump deranged. But we can learn from 1 Samuel 15 on the importance of following God's Word completely.

Pastor John Amanchukwu joins the podcast to discuss whether politics belong in the church.

The president said if Iran doesn't surrender, we're going to bomb them to the Stone Age. Should we?

Every servicemember must know that, in America, we never leave a man behind. That hasn't been the case lately. But with the rescue of these two airmen, every servicemember knows it's true once again. Let's learn from the Bible about this principle from the life of Aristarchus.

Pam Bondi is the second cabinet member fired after Kristi Noem. What does this say about Trump's presidency? And how should we look at this after just celebrating Resurrection Sunday?

In this compelling discussion, Tim Chaffey joins Mike Slater to examine the evidence surrounding the resurrection of Jesus. Addressing common doubts and objections, they explore historical, philosophical, and biblical perspectives that challenge skepticism and invite deeper consideration.

A player on the Chicago Bulls took the proper Biblical stance against these foolish Pride events at major league sporting events. For this stance, he was fired. What will be interesting to see is how many other athletes come to his defense.

Progressives aren't "for" anything. They are against God's Word. This manifests in pretty wild ways, like the story of Lindy West. But lest we get too prideful, we need to realize the lessons of John 12.

How can college kids on spring break be so foolish? But the Bible speaks of spring-breakers, and gives us a warning if we don't change our ways.

Stephen C. Meyer dives into his influential book Return of the God Hypothesis, arguing that groundbreaking discoveries in cosmology, physics, and biology—such as the universe's origin, fine-tuning for life, and the coded information in DNA—provide strong scientific evidence for a purposeful intelligent designer rather than purely materialistic explanations. Meyer challenges the notion that science and faith are inherently at odds, showing how modern evidence is actually reviving the God hypothesis as the most reasonable inference from the data. This discussion ties directly into the themes of the upcoming documentary The Story of Everything, offering viewers a clear, thought-provoking case for why science may be pointing back to a divine mind behind it all.
