The Christian Outlook – March 3, 2024

Bob Burney takes a look at reporting from Politico reporter Heidi Prisabella, who tries to raise an “alarm bell” over Christian nationalism.

Albert Mohler responds to the effort from those pushing the "Christian nationalism" line, citing ignorance of America's founding and even the media using it as a scare tactic.

Scott Furrow talks with Todd Smith, pastor of Crossroads Community Church in Santa Clarita, California on our fast-disintegrating culture.

Bob Burney has an extended conversation with Bill Federer, author of his classic America's God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations. Federer talks about our American history being altered and leaving out its godly heritage. They also discuss the confusion surrounding the separation of church and state and what led us to believe that somehow there is a wall between the two. 

John Hall and Kathy Emmons talk with Robert Tracy McKenzie, author of “We the Fallen People: The Founders and the Future of American Democracy.” McKenzie explains how the Founders understood mankind's human heart and its fallen nature, which is why they designed America's government with separation of powers.

An Election for the History Books

The Christian Outlook - November 2, 2024

Greg Seltz invites Paul Batura, of Focus on the Family, to explore the reasons behind pastors' reluctance to engage with social issues due to fears of backlash. Batura talks about the need for churches to provide a biblical framework for thoughtful engagement in the democratic process.

Bill Bunkley invites George Barna to discuss the responsibility of Christians to engage in elections and influence culture based on biblical values, noting that 41 million born-again Christians plan to not vote, which could significantly impact the election outcome.

Greg Seltz and Jay Richards, author of, “Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War,” assert that Christians are often shamed into silence regarding truth, emphasizing the importance of engaging in cultural battles rather than retreating from them. 

Bill Bunkley and Jonathan Turley, author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” talk about how the First Amendment's protection of free speech as a natural, God-given right was a revolutionary idea that has been eroded over time due to an alliance between the government, corporations, media, and academia pushing for censorship.

Evangelical Engagement and the Future of the First Amendment

The Christian Outlook - October 26, 2024

Tim Clinton and Johnnie Moore discuss the gravity of the upcoming election, and its impact on fundamental American values like religious freedom and governance. They call for high voter turnout, especially among evangelicals, stressing the importance of protecting constitutional rights and the diverse voices within the community.

Greg Seltz invites Dr. Michael Youssef of "Leading the Way," to discuss the confusion Christians face around voting. Dr. Youssef highlights portions of a free digital resource called, “A Biblical Worldview of Government: A Non-Partisan Perspective” to bring biblical clarity. He discusses the importance of balancing civic duties with faith, urging believers to engage responsibly in government while upholding biblical values. Dr. Youssef later explains that while political outcomes matter, Christians should not rely on the government for what God has entrusted to individuals, families, and churches. 

For the full Dr. Youssef interview, listen here. 

Georgene Rice invites Michael Barone, author of “How America’s Political Parties Change (and How They Don’t)” to discuss the long-standing resilience of America’s two major political parties. Barone examines historical challenges faced by both the Democrat and Republican parties, noting how each has survived major electoral defeats.

Bob Burney underscores the importance of voting as both a privilege and a responsibility for believers, but also to not lose sleep over who wins or loses the election, considering that it is God who is in control.
