You Are Going To Die One Day (Part II with Christian Brady)
Former U.S. Senator and university president Ben Sasse faced a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis in late 2025—a stark "death sentence" that forced him to confront mortality head-on. Instead of despair, he embraced family, faith, and resurrection hope, transforming his final days into a powerful testimony of purposeful living. Mike Slater, host of Politics By Faith, draws inspiration from Sasse's journey to show how facing death reorients priorities away from fleeting pursuits toward what lasts forever. Blending this real-life story with timeless wisdom literature from Scripture, the special reveals how an eternal mindset brings deeper joy, love, and faithfulness in Christ. This is part two of two.

Powers, Principalities & Persecution (Part II with Steven W. Mosher & Pastor Jared Longshore)
Mike Slater confronts the spiritual dimensions of global Christian persecution, drawing from Ephesians 6:12 to expose how unseen "principalities and powers" manifest in earthly systems of oppression, authoritarian control, extremist ideologies, and societal rejection.

Viewers are invited to grapple with these truths, recognize the spiritual warfare behind the headlines, and consider the call to vigilance, prayer, and faithful response in light of Christ's ultimate authority.

Minnesota Madness, Make Good Choices
Rioters in MN and people interfering with law enforcement operations are making bad choices. Renee Good's father-in-law said the same thing on CNN. He also quoted scripture, which CNN surely did not expect. Let's listen to his response and also read Psalm 143 to find out which way we should go.
