INSTANT REACTION: Ron DeSantis & The Campaign

May 25, 2023 00:02 - 9 minutes

Thoughts On DeSantis and The Campaign I sat down to share some thoughts on DeSantis' faith, but I want to save that because listening to DeSantis's launch and people's reactions to it made me angry. Three things flooded into my brain: Making idols, a sovereign God and Ben Franklin's advice to the founders. We have to get started on the right foot or we'll never make it to the end alive.

Growing In Grace: CHARIS

May 24, 2023 11:00 - 6 minutes

Morning Motivation: Growing In Grace: CHARIS Healthy plants and animals grow. Why don't we also expect our souls to grow, too? God tells us we need to grow in grace. But, what is grace? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Crazy Culture of Emotion

May 23, 2023 15:30 - 38 minutes

It's always Pride Month, it seems. How did we get to this point in our culture? Where trans fake nuns are honored at baseball games and men are sexually dancing in front of little girls? One reason is that we confused affections with emotions and let our feelings run the show. Esau is the clearest example. We see it around us every day.

WAR On The U.S. Dollar (full special)

May 22, 2023 15:00 - 49 minutes

America has never been this close to de-dollarization. Foreign adversaries are pushing their own currencies while Central Bank Digital Currencies are making their way into the forefront. This comes as the United States suffers sky-high inflation and interest rates, all while major banks have failed. In this special, Mike Slater and his panel of experts reveal why owning gold and silver is your protection against all of the aforementioned threats to the dollar. Mike also dives into how gold of...

Growing In Grace: Justification

May 22, 2023 11:00 - 6 minutes

Clickbait, Fake News & The Mindless Narrative

May 20, 2023 12:00 - 44 minutes

Our media is no longer fueled by the truth. It's only mission...clicks. They will stop at nothing to create absurd headlines & stories (like Donald Trump with prostitutes in Moscow) and massive amounts of people run with it assuming it's true. Today we'll share two viral tiktoks to prove this point and bring it back to the false prophet Hananiah to prove there's nothing new under the sun.

Morning Motivation: Count The Cost

The Wide Road of the Cruise Ship

May 18, 2023 10:30 - 5 minutes

Morning Motivation - Why do we think the Christian life is a Cruise Ship? Where did we get that idea from? It's certainly not from the Bible. We'll prove it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Flesh, The World, The Devil

May 17, 2023 11:35 - 9 minutes

That's the enemy. But the famous line is true, "The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist." If you don't acknowledge the enemy, you can be sure you're losing. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Biden, White Supremacists and You

May 16, 2023 15:00 - 44 minutes

Biden told a crowd of black graduates that the biggest terrorist threat is White Supremacy. When will we say enough of this already? Bottom line: Depravity leads to division and division leads to collapse. We'll learn from the most horrific and least preached chapter of the Bible, Judges 19.

Christianity Is a Fight. Name The Enemy.

May 16, 2023 11:45 - 5 minutes

Morning Motivation: Christianity Is a Fight. Name The Enemy. One of the fundamental mistakes of the "War On Terror" is we refused to name the enemy. You can't win if you can't identify who you are fighting against. It's the same with most Christians. They think Christianity is a fun cruise ship. They don't know it's a way. So who is the enemy?

Cruise Ship of Battleship

May 15, 2023 10:00 - 9 minutes

MORNING MOTIVATION True Christianity is a fight. Our modern culture tells us the greatest virtue is to be nice, and you can't have enemies because that's mean and no one is wrong about anything because "who are you to judge, stop being so mean." But if you don't think Christianity is a fight, the enemy has you right where he wants you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chaos On The Border & The Bible

May 13, 2023 11:00 - 38 minutes

The border is in a state of Chaos. God is a God of order. In this episode, we talk about where Title 42 came from, why we created an asylum program (which none of these people qualify for), and what the Bible says about immigrants. Hint: Be wary of people who have never quoted the Bible and start throwing Leviticus at you to justify their open border policies.

Happy Mother's Day: No Little Places

May 12, 2023 11:00 - 9 minutes

Moms, have you ever fallen into the trap of thinking you're doing only little, insignificant things? That's because we compare ourselves to the world's definition of what is important and big. But the Bible is quite clear about what we should be striving for and what God's will is for you. Happy Mother's Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

God WILL Give You More Than You Can Handle

May 11, 2023 10:00 - 6 minutes

MORNING MOTIVATION Another classic not-Biblical phrase people use is, "God will not give you more than you can handle." He certainly will. Where did this phrase come from?

Preach The Gospel, and ALWAYS Use Words

May 10, 2023 10:15 - 6 minutes

Morning Motivation: Preach The Gospel, and ALWAYS Use Words There's a popular Christianese expression that St. Francis of Assisi did NOT say, "Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words". That's not Biblical at all. And in today's time, it's essential to get it right. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dennis Prager is Wrong On Porn

May 09, 2023 15:00 - 43 minutes

Dennis Prager gave terrible advice about men watching pornography. We can see the effect of porn on our society with what happened at a Texas ELEMENTARY school. We need to know the difference between liberty and licentiousness. Today we'll look at Ovid and Leviticus. And please, get the truth to your kids before the world does.

May 09, 2023 10:00 - 5 minutes

MORNING MOTIVATION: Pearls Before Swine When can you, as Jesus said, "Dust off your feet" from people, and when should you persevere in spreading the Good News?

MM: Did Jesus Say We Can't Judge?

May 08, 2023 11:45 - 7 minutes

Truth, Lies and Jellyfish Christians

May 04, 2023 15:00 - 35 minutes

Truth, Lies and Jellyfish Christians. Did Ukraine launch a drone attack against Putin? We'll never know. You can't believe anything you hear, or even see these days. How are we to have discernment between truth and lies? I'm inspired by Nehemiah, who in 500 BC saw right through the lies of his detractors and never wavered.

The Rare Jewel: Time Does NOT Heal

May 04, 2023 10:00 - 9 minutes

What a wonderful example of how an expression that we've heard our entire lives, "Time heals all wounds" sounds right, but when you think about it, of course, it's not true. That expression comes from a Greek poet in 300 BC, it is NOT in the Bible, so what DOES heal all wounds, and what heals them not "in time" but NOW.

May 03, 2023 11:00 - 6 minutes

The Bubbling Anger. Is It Righteous?

May 02, 2023 15:00 - 40 minutes

Tucker Carlson said the debates in our country are between Good and Evil. But you can't say that today. In today's culture, everything is good. If you talk about evil then you're being mean. This leads to a lack of moral clarity and conviction. This has led to chaos. Let's learn from Achilles to the Puritans about when anger is righteous and when it's corrosive.
