Fixing Roofs While Foundations Crumble - Why Worldviews Matter

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.This program includes:1.

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.This program includes:1.

The current apostasy has yielded more faith lapse, and a new movement called faith deconstruction.  Nothing new to see here, just the same old Western apostasy.

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.

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.This program includes:1.

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.This program includes: 1.

Christians have been quite congratulatory of most feminist achievements, particularly with the Title IX egalitarian vision for college sports. But, much of sports has served as something of a metaphor for warfare and often preparatory to warfare. Women in violent sports and women in combat have worked their way into the norm . . . in fact, now American women are more successful in sports than men. But how will Christian parents raise their daughters?This program includes:1. The World View in 5 Minutes with Adam McManus (Tucker Carlson asked Russell Brand to pray, J.D. Vance: Kamala is "a chameleon", Pastor: Christianity and Aboriginal smoking ceremony can't mix)2. Generations with Kevin Swanson
