The Christian Outlook - August 17, 2024

Greg Seltz and David Harsanyi of The Federalist discuss the importance of faith in politics, arguing that excluding religious values from political decisions is absurd. Harsanyi emphasizes that shared ideals, often rooted in faith, are crucial for national unity.

Dr. Albert Mohler discusses voting your Christian conscience in the 2024 presidential election. He critiques David French's argument for voting Democratic to save conservatism, asserting that true conservatism must be rooted in theism and cannot align with the Democratic Party's views on reality and morality.

Eric Metaxas discusses with Megan Basham, author of “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda” how certain prominent evangelical churches, like Andy Stanley's North Point Church and Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, are increasingly influenced by LGBTQ-affirming and progressive agendas.

Protecting Our Youth: The Battle Against Social Media's Dark Side

The Christian Outlook - August 3, 2024

Greg Seltz and author Jeff Crouere criticize the Olympics' opening ceremony for featuring drag queens, transgender performers, and religious attacks instead of family-friendly content. They argue that the event, meant to celebrate athleticism, unnecessarily mocked Christian values under the guise of artistic freedom and inclusion.

Bob Burney condemns the Olympic organizers' shallow apology to "those who were offended", which was worse than simply offering no apology, and accuses them of celebrating inclusion while excluding Christians globally.

Greg Seltz and Gary Bauer, head of American Values, discuss the responsibility of Christians to protect America's Judeo-Christian heritage and the dangers posed by the secular left's attempts to impose their beliefs through government coercion.

Greg Seltz turns to Josh Zeichik, Director of Church Engagement for Focus on the Family, to talk about the importance of knowing and understanding the Bible, which revives the soul, makes people wise, corrects them, and trains them to be godly. They discuss the importance of personal Bible study beyond just Sunday sermons for spiritual growth and refreshment.
