Remembering D-Day and Discussing The Common Rule

 

Carmen opens this episode with a commentary on Jimmy who was deported from the United States to Iraq and died on the street for lack of insulin. Jimmy didn’t speak Arabic, had never been to Iraq and for those paying attention to such ideological concerns, Jimmy is a Christian. In the second hour of today’s program, Carmen talks with Juliana Taimoorazy from the Iraqi Christian Relief Council about the plight of Christians in the Ninevah Plain.

Meanwhile in Mississippi 680 undocumented workers were arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE at food processing plants; their children were at their first day of school; after their first day of school their parents were not there at the bus stop, they were not there at that house, they had disappeared during the day. Do you remember your first day of school? These children will never forget their first day of school – and they will be expected to show up today – in trauma – or be counted truant. Does this make any sense to anyone? We need comprehensive immigration reform. Our system is broken. ICE is doing the job we are asking them to do – we are sending them to do – this is America where we the people are the government. Oh, and by the way, the people arrested yesterday and the kids left standing uninformed and frightened – in America – they are Christians too.

Carmen’s conversations today include Ben Johnson of The Acton Institute on the right to bear arms in light of recent mass shootings, and a common ideological thread behind many of the shooters.

Then Al New of the BGEA Rapid Response Team talks about the chaplain teams serving those impacted in El Paso and Dayton.

The friendship of Jonathan and David changed the course of human history. King David became the King of Israel in part because the heir-apparent, Jonathan, recognized, facilitated, submitted to, celebrated, empowered and defended David’s ascension to the throne.

 

August 7, 1801 is the date celebrated as the ignition point of America’s second Great Awakening. Bill Federer from AmericanMinute joins Carmen for a historical look back and a contemporary assessment of the day. Might time be ripe for third Great Awakening in America? Will God’s people fast and pray? Carmen invites us to consider answering the call to join https://www.dayandnight.org/in fasting and praying with thousands of other American’s for a national transformation.

Guilt, shame, fear and death are the products of sin. The Gospel is the radically reorienting, liberating, life-giving answer.  What do I need to know about the honor/shame cultural worldview in order to effectively communicate the good news of the Gospel to my Muslim neighbors? Audrey Frank shares how in Covered Glory  – you will meet Muslim women living in a culture with an honor-shame worldview that perpetuates their shame. As you discover how these women find freedom when they uncover their true identity, you will find that shame affects each one of us. Audrey share that while shames tells us we are unworthy, truth tells us we were made to be loved; shame tells us we are nobody, Jesus tells us ‘you are somebody precious to me,’ and shame tells us we are broken, the Gospel offers the hope of a life made new. Carmen and Audrey discuss everything from Genesis 1 to Proverbs 31 as they explore the need for recovering the lens through which the Bible was written as a way to reach our Muslim neighbors today. 

When it comes to relationships, what do you really need? Dan Darling, pastor, author and VP of the ERLC, describes the five relationships we each need to succeed.

Recent research indicates that most Americans do not consult clergy when making major life decisions. Who then are we asking? We’re asking our doctors. Doctors increasingly field questions about all kinds of life decisions because the stress, anxiety, sleeplessness, weight gain, depression, abuse, identity issues we experience affect our health. Dr. David Stevens from the Christian Medical and Dental Association shares from his own clinical experience. He also addresses the rising trend of suicide among America’s most senior adults and what each of us can do to intervene today.

Joshua Harris announced on social meeting that he was ending his marriage – followed by an announcement that he no longer identifies as a Christian – then he participated in a pro-LGBTQ affirming march. How do we respond when a fellow Christian departs so thoroughly from the fellowship of believers and the faith? And how do we redeem marriage in a culture where purity is mocked by those who once advocated for it? Peter Kapsner joins Carmen for this important conversation.

So much evil and seemingly so few resources in terms of how to respond. Journalists and politicians struggle on air without access to the necessarily moral language and categories in a secular age. And then we hear the Mayor of El Paso, in answer to journalist’s question about whether or not the city is following the handbook in response to the mass shooting at a Walmart, “I only know of one handbook for dealing with evil and that’s the Bible.” Hard stop.  We should hear that truth and we should let it sink in and we should amplify it. Evil is real. Demons are real. There are spiritual forces at work. Carmen looks at Matthew 8:28-31 to equip listeners for this essential conversation of this day.

Tommy Binion joins Carmen to discuss China’s currency manipulation and suspension of Ag imports as well as the economy, jobs and immigration. Then the show turns to the topic of friendship – specifically Christian friendship. Professor Bryan Baise from Boyce College previews the course he’s teaching – with is best friend – this fall and why Christian students, from Christian homes, raised in Christian churches still need a course on Christian friendship. Why? Because the classical definition – and therefore experience – of friendship has been perverted and needs to be restored. Bryan Baise tells us how.

Dr. Linda Mintle shares the multifactorial nature of mass shootings and other acts of evil today. Although we like to imagine a simple fix, there is no solution save for the transformation of human hearts by God.  Perpetrators are dealing with layers of complex pain that is individual, familial, cultural and national. What we want to reduce to hate inflamed by political speech is far more complex than soundbites allow.

Dr. David Aikman shares his rising concern for the prospects of a peaceful resolution in Hong Kong. Protesters there are in the ninth week of protests against what young Hong Kongers see as China’s attempts to Sinocize them. Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, the U.S. is negotiating with the Taliban and Dr. Aikman reminds us how much worldview matters when we consider just how long some of these conflicts have been going on.

Craig von Buseck discusses his book “I am Cyrus” in the context of current calls for BDS, rising antisemitism and criticisms of Zionist Christians in America. What do those terms mean and what’s the history of America’s relationship with the nation of Israel?

We all engage politically and we certainly all engage in political discourse. But have you ever stopped to think about HOW you engage – or how others are engaging? What is your model of political engagement and what is the foundation or source of that model? If only one in ten Christians are consulting the Bible about something as politically significant as immigration, then how Christian is our engagement? How should Christians engage differently because, well, we’re Christians?  Hear Matthew Hawkins response in today’s lead.

Then, Carmen talks with author Leslie Montgomery about her new book, The Faith of Mike Pence.
