The world feels like an unstable place. It seems like we are constantly standing on the brink of military conflict. Some conservatives are raising questions about these on-going conflicts and that we seem to be constantly involving ourselves in other countries’ business. We've asked our friend, Kevin Briggins, to come on the show and share his perspective on these global conflicts. He's long time military vet and has a Bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern studies.

The next time you hear someone say, "I think we should have a more diverse staff" or "What are our company's diversity goals?" here are the questions you need to ask.

I got to the end of the day and had some time for a livestream. Let's talk about all the controversy surrounding the op-ed on the Fox News website by Pastor Jeremiah J Johnston. Is IVF part of the pro-life movement? In the second half, I consider the work of Katy Faust (Them Before Us) and her response to Johnston published by The Federalist this morning. I did my best to break it down as fairly as I could. This is a rebroadcast of a livestream that I did for the Center for Biblical Unity.

Politics is complicated and emotional. We have asked Kevin to come on and help us break down critical parts of the party platforms in light of the Christian worldview.

I attended the 2 1/2 hour "Evangelicals for Harris" Zoom call on Wednesday evening. Here is the full report on who EFH is and what they are about.

A key theme on the podcast this year is justice for the pre-born. We are exploring the issue from a variety of different angles. This week, our friend Erin Kunkle, is coming on the show to discuss her experience as a teenage mother and her journey to the faith.

Oh boy! There is so much drama surrounding Megan Basham's book. It's a real soap opera on X. Even so, I wanted to share a few of my personal thoughts. In the second half, I want to help "Never Trumpers" and Progressives understand why I think so many people keep voting for Trump even though he's a deeply flawed man. Let's see how this goes.

We have been sounding the alarm for several years about the creep of progressive ideology coming into evangelical institutions since the beginning of the ministry. We have been especially vocal about issues related to indiscriminate hiring. Our friend, Megan Basham, has noticed many of the same problems but investigated things through a different means: following the money. Her reporting is raising important questions about historically trusted institutions. You will NOT want to miss this LIVE show!

We hear lots of messages today about Social Justice. But, what does that term mean, exactly? In this special edition of the podcast, Krista talks with Kathy Gibbens from the, "Filter It Through a Brain Cell" podcast about this important topic.

More and more people are looking for alternatives to public education. We invited our friend, Jerry Nelson, Chief Ministry Officer at ACSI to share about the pros and cons of Christian schools. What are some important things to look for to see if it's a good fit for your family? Plus, we ask Jerry about ACSI's vision to put discipleship and biblical unity before diversity.
