The media has always had a tremendous impact on the formation of public opinion . . . but it at least tried to be unbiased in its reporting in times past. So what do we do when it becomes as blatantly biased as it is today? Is there an objective, absolute standard to use when interpreting the events around us? Or is it the one who yells "Heretic!" the loudest who wins in the end? We review some of the basics requirements for good journalism, how to navigate the maze of a thousand opinions, and the need bring God's standards to bear in the area of the press and current events on this edition of the program.

Ideas have consequences. The Peter Thiels of the world are far more influential in the Republican party than they were 20 years ago, and are setting a new direction for "conservatives." As we approach the 2024 elections, the major worldviews need to be identified if we're going to understand the ramifications of the philosophies governing our country today. On this edition of the program, we examine the worldviews behind the two major ruling political parties of the day, Ayn Rand, and Peter Thiel.

There are many ways charitable endeavors can go dreadfully wrong when ministering in third-world nations. Here is a helpful guide to being sure that all helping helps when seeking to help others—based on extensive mission field experience. Jesus is very concerned that we reach out to the "least of these" His brothers. How do we help them?

The current apostasy has yielded more faith lapses and a new movement called faith deconstruction. Nothing new to see here, just the same old Western apostasy. We provide four causes or excuses attending the faith deconstruction of the present age. The hatred and vitriol are typically poured out upon the church as an institution. Here is the antidote to an age of doubt and faithlessness.

Did Jesus really mean it when He prescribed the millstone treatment for those who stumble little ones? It is one of the most severe judgements we find in Scripture, and it should cause us to sit up and pay attention. Bill Jack and Kevin Swanson discuss whether Christian children should be sent to school to be missionaries. Are children more likely to influence or be influenced?

The anti-Trump evangelicals sign a statement in which they advise love, but not fear. What they are calling for is revival without repentance, love without law, and certainly a complete absence of the fear of God. So what can you do when you find yourself living in a world where almost nobody fears God?

Two worldviews are fighting it out for the next election. But will a sexually-anarchical billionaire save our civilization from a childless cat lady? This is really the question we are grappling with . . . sort of . . . on this edition of the program. The foundations of a civilization are destroyed, and neither worldview has much interest in laying new concrete. The opportunity for rebuilding is still in the future, but not too far in the future.

Egypt was at the zenith of its power, having conquered lands far into the north and the east, well into the Mesopotamian valley. The great empire set its magicians and its power against the people of God and paid the price. The most outstanding miracle of the Old Testament era took place at the Red Sea, and the prostitute at Jericho was still talking about it 40 years later, as well as the witchdoctors of Philistia 400 years later. And we're still talking about it today. Who was the Pharaoh of the Red Sea, and how was the empire utterly decimated . . . not be resurrected until -ironically- King Saul helped to deliver the Egyptians from the Amalekites 400 years later. This story will astound you. The Bible is real history.

Turns out that finding a job in today's market has been harder for those who have attained a bachelor's degree. Since 1980, the price of a college education has risen at 1300 percent, while the CPI has risen about 150 percent. College debt has gone from $300 billion to $1.75 trillion since 2004 in 20 years. That's a six-fold increase, with 85 percent of kids getting bachelors' degrees graduating with debt. The economy is moving from degree-centric to skill-centric, and mentorship is the fastest way to skill development.
