Loving Your Enemies: Beast-Like
548
MORNING MOTIVATION: Loving Your Enemies: Beast-Like I had a road rage incident the other day. Not proud of it. I responded pretty much how most people respond to political debates.

Loving Your Enemies: GOP Edition
358
Morning Motivation: Loving Your Enemies: GOP Edition If we can't argue well in the GOP primary, what hope do we have winning anyone else?

INSTANT REACTION: Ron DeSantis & The Campaign
598
Thoughts On DeSantis and The Campaign I sat down to share some thoughts on DeSantis' faith, but I want to save that because listening to DeSantis's launch and people's reactions to it made me angry. Three things flooded into my brain: Making idols, a sovereign God and Ben Franklin's advice to the founders. We have to get started on the right foot or we'll never make it to the end alive.

Crazy Culture of Emotion
2338
It's always Pride Month, it seems. How did we get to this point in our culture? Where trans fake nuns are honored at baseball games and men are sexually dancing in front of little girls? One reason is that we confused affections with emotions and let our feelings run the show. Esau is the clearest example. We see it around us every day.

WAR On The U.S. Dollar (full special)
2942
America has never been this close to de-dollarization. Foreign adversaries are pushing their own currencies while Central Bank Digital Currencies are making their way into the forefront. This comes as the United States suffers sky-high inflation and interest rates, all while major banks have failed. In this special, Mike Slater and his panel of experts reveal why owning gold and silver is your protection against all of the aforementioned threats to the dollar. Mike also dives into how gold offers protection against tyranny as well.  War On The U.S. Dollar is presented by Patriot Gold Group.

Clickbait, Fake News & The Mindless Narrative
2687
Our media is no longer fueled by the truth. It's only mission...clicks. They will stop at nothing to create absurd headlines & stories (like Donald Trump with prostitutes in Moscow) and massive amounts of people run with it assuming it's true. Today we'll share two viral tiktoks to prove this point and bring it back to the false prophet Hananiah to prove there's nothing new under the sun.

Biden, White Supremacists and You
2657
Biden told a crowd of black graduates that the biggest terrorist threat is White Supremacy. When will we say enough of this already? Bottom line: Depravity leads to division and division leads to collapse. We'll learn from the most horrific and least preached chapter of the Bible, Judges 19.

Christianity Is a Fight. Name The Enemy.
332
Morning Motivation: Christianity Is a Fight. Name The Enemy. One of the fundamental mistakes of the "War On Terror" is we refused to name the enemy. You can't win if you can't identify who you are fighting against. It's the same with most Christians. They think Christianity is a fun cruise ship. They don't know it's a way. So who is the enemy?

Cruise Ship of Battleship
541
MORNING MOTIVATION True Christianity is a fight. Our modern culture tells us the greatest virtue is to be nice, and you can't have enemies because that's mean and no one is wrong about anything because "who are you to judge, stop being so mean." But if you don't think Christianity is a fight, the enemy has you right where he wants you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chaos On The Border & The Bible
2284
The border is in a state of Chaos. God is a God of order. In this episode, we talk about where Title 42 came from, why we created an asylum program (which none of these people qualify for), and what the Bible says about immigrants. Hint: Be wary of people who have never quoted the Bible and start throwing Leviticus at you to justify their open border policies.

Happy Mother's Day: No Little Places
576
Moms, have you ever fallen into the trap of thinking you're doing only little, insignificant things? That's because we compare ourselves to the world's definition of what is important and big. But the Bible is quite clear about what we should be striving for and what God's will is for you. Happy Mother's Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

God WILL Give You More Than You Can Handle
371

Preach The Gospel, and ALWAYS Use Words
373
Morning Motivation: Preach The Gospel, and ALWAYS Use Words There's a popular Christianese expression that St. Francis of Assisi did NOT say, "Preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words". That's not Biblical at all. And in today's time, it's essential to get it right. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dennis Prager is Wrong On Porn
2599
Dennis Prager gave terrible advice about men watching pornography. We can see the effect of porn on our society with what happened at a Texas ELEMENTARY school.

What role is the media designed to play in society and are how are Christians to consume media? Those are just a couple questions that Mike Slater dives into during this edition of Politics by Faith.

Truth, Lies and Jellyfish Christians
2106
Truth, Lies and Jellyfish Christians. Did Ukraine launch a drone attack against Putin? We'll never know. You can't believe anything you hear, or even see these days. How are we to have discernment between truth and lies? I'm inspired by Nehemiah, who in 500 BC saw right through the lies of his detractors and never wavered.

The Rare Jewel: Time Does NOT Heal
566
What a wonderful example of how an expression that we've heard our entire lives, "Time heals all wounds" sounds right, but when you think about it, of course, it's not true. That expression comes from a Greek poet in 300 BC, it is NOT in the Bible, so what DOES heal all wounds, and what heals them not "in time" but NOW.

The Bubbling Anger. Is It Righteous?
2456
Tucker Carlson said the debates in our country are between Good and Evil. But you can't say that today. In today's culture, everything is good. If you talk about evil then you're being mean. This leads to a lack of moral clarity and conviction. This has led to chaos. Let's learn from Achilles to the Puritans about when anger is righteous and when it's corrosive.

SPECIAL: The Book of Exodus
3391
Can the second book of the Bible, Exodus, serve as inspiration for those of us feeling like slaves to current day tyrants? We need not itemize our current plagues, as they are now part of daily life. Exodus describes how the People of Israel were freed from the bonds of centuries of slavery in Egypt. Moses was commissioned by God, who spoke to him in the form of the burning bush and gave him the colossal assignment to lead the Israelites to freedom. Repeatedly in Exodus, we witness Moses imploring Pharaoh, "Let my people go."  During this show, Mike Slater and his special guests explore how the story of Exodus can serve as inspiration for those of us feeling like slaves to tyrants.  Mike Slater and his special guests explore the question...can God lead us to freedom again? We pray history will repeat itself and that He will show us the way to free ourselves from the bonds of modern-day servitude. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
