Pastor Michael Thiessen, Campaign Manager for Liberty Coalition Canada joins us for a lively discussion on the battle for liberty. The moment of truth is upon us. Will Pastor Coates and Pastor Thiessen succeed, or will liberties for church meetings be severely curtailed in Canada? Will Christians be finally forced to flee?

The 2021 Grammys broke through another threshold in the decline of Western culture, as the last vestiges of what could have conserved culture surrendered to self-immolation. Women now lead the cultural suicide almost exclusively. Once more, we trace the trend from the 1960 Grammys to the very end in 2021. But, what about the conservative edge in the heartland--Country Music? The leading voices are now exclusively pro-LGBT, pro-Black Lives Matter, and self-conscious Christian apostates. We’ve come a long way from Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, and Johnny Horton. We close the program with an encouragement to right communion--contrasting the fellowship of the unfruitful works of darkness with the fellowship in the light in the Holy Spirit. 

Here is a powerful update on persecution and the unprecedented growth of the church in the Middle East and North Africa. There is a virtual pentecost happening in this area of the world. How do Christians react to the ebb and flow of persecution in Iran, Egypt, Algeria, and elsewhere? We receive a first hand report from a veteran on the field for fifty years. You don't want to miss this engaging interview with Victor Attalah from Middle East Reformed Fellowship.

Online child exploitation virtually doubled last year. And since the sexual revolution, child exploitation and sexual sin has exploded. How should the church respond to these sins? What about pastors who fall into the sin? We pull from the wisdom of church history, and encourage that all sins, especially the notorious sexual sin be brought out into the light.

With all the abortion funding, the abolition of the Hyde Amendment, the unfettered spending, welfare programs for every family in America, the crazy orgy leading to complete economic (and moral) bankruptcy is well encapsulated in the new COVID relief bill. But the frustrating thing is that China is not destroying its moral fiber quite as quickly and consistently as America's ruling institutions would like it to. It's not embracing the chaos of quantitative easing, debt spending, GDP shrinkage, homosexuality, and existentialism with the same level of zeal as the West. Regrettably for those running the fire sale, China is not moving in lockstep with America's decline.

Boy, these modern institutions spend $1.17 trillion on space travel to prove that God doesn't exist. . . to find their own place and their own way in the universe. The Perseverance-Mission to Mars is no different than the rest of it. Spare no expense when it comes to that passionate human need to prove that God doesn't exist. But what is real science? It must be practical and proper dominion work according to God's command. We point out how Christians have done real science, while the post-Christian world more and more destroys it.

The Biden administration is looking to eliminate all discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation on campuses—ALL campuses connected with Title IX funding. It’s over for the Christian college now. But will free speech survive on the campus? Kevin Swanson and Bill Jack offer varying levels of optimism and pessimism. But, how will the Christian college survive if it is treated as an accommodation industry and a neutral academic institution vs. a Christian discipleship center? 

An atom bomb has dropped on the family since 1970. The whole western world loosened divorce laws beginning in 1969. Abortion was legalized in 1973. Cohabitation rates increased 20 fold since 1970. The illegitimacy rate increased seven-fold. Homosexuality was legalized in 2001. And homosexual marriage came in 2015. Now is the time to battle for the biblical family. But first, we need to know how God defines a family. What is the importance of covenant? Why must the father be recognized as the federal head of the family? What is the first step to fixing a broken-down family? These and other questions are considered with Dr. George Scipione who teaches biblical counseling at Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Why the transgendering of the nation is so basic to the Biden agenda is hard to figure out. However, the transgender-revolution conducted in Connecticut is now introduced to the entire country through this one, arguably the most radical Secretary of Education in the nation's history—Miguel Cardona. But at root, this is a man-centered worldview on steroids operating. Christians are looking for a God-centered worldview for their children's education now.

Kids are taught every day, everywhere that "gay is cool." And, the other thing they know is this: Pastors, churches, Paul, and Moses are not cool. But what will be cool next year? The post-Christian culture requires increasing levels of application of that old text: "Come out from among them and be separate saith the Lord." But, how will Christian parents raise their children in the midst of the sexual nihilism now dominating our world? We also address Bethany Christian Adoption Services, recently signed up for the millstone treatment.
