Politics By Faith w/Mike Slater

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.
