Can American Culture Be Renewed?

Commemorating Independence Day 1776-2026

Send us Fan MailA nation and world altering event took place on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia when 56 representatives of 13 British colonies signed the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain.The Declaration is America’s original founding document and is “the most consequential enumeration of the fundamental and unalienable Rights of Mankind as irrevocably endowed by our Creator.”Today in a special Independence Day program, we’re going to commemorate this bold act that altered our nation from being yet another British colony under the King and Church of England. Instead, America became a Constitutional Republic that separates power from the dictates of one king into branches of government and elected representatives of the people. We will examine what led to the Declaration of Independence and the impact it made on America, even to this day.The Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33).While this specifically refers to Israel, there is general blessing for any nation that reveres and obeys God. God has greatly blessed America. The question going forward as we increasingly rebel against Him is: Will America repent and honor God?

Denying Man’s Sin Makes the Only Remedy Unnecessary

Send us Fan MailGuest: Dr. George Barna, Director of Research, Cultural Research Center, Arizona Christian UniversityThe Bible says that in the time of the judges in Israel, “every man did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6). That is another way of saying the people were flagrantly breaking God’s laws and rationalizing their sin. Scripture is clear that all men and women are sinners by nature and by choice.For example, Romans 3 says:“for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one” (Romans 3:9-12).Considering all the hate, murder, lying, lusting, stealing, coveting, envying, immorality, blasphemy, oppression, and much more that marks our world, it may seem surprising that Americans don’t see themselves as sinners but as basically good, and thus, do what is right in their own eyes.In a recent survey released by George Barna, Director of Research at the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University, “only half of all American adults (52%) believe that everyone has sinned…and even among theologically-defined born-again Christians, one in four denies personal guilt of sin.” What’s more, “among self-identified Christians, 72% believe that people are “basically good at heart.”This is troubling and egregious error, especially by those who profess to be part of the church. Today on the program, George Barna joins us to discuss the changing view of sin by Americans and Christians and what has led to it. We will also discuss why conviction over one’s sin is so important because it shows us our need for the only remedy.* this program is a rebroadcast from 10/18/2025 To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/693/29?v=20251111

Preparing Boys for Marriage and Fatherhood

Send us Fan MailGUEST: DR. ERNIE BAKER, author, Marry Wisely, Marry WellThis is Father’s Day Weekend and perhaps nothing has been more assaulted in our society than God’s design for a godly father shepherding his wife and children. God’s model is the only one that leads to harmony in marriage and the home and the raising of a next generation who loves and fears God.How has God’s design for fathers been undermined and resisted? In many ways:– Fatherly authority in the home is slandered as misogynistic and toxic.– Culture, peers, education, social media, and entertainment endlessly promote sexual immorality, gender confusion, and “self-actualization” (i.e. live for self, not for God and others).– Even evangelical churches, including schools and camps, delay the transition from boyhood to manhood through emphasizing amusement over maturity.It’s no wonder boys grow up drifting, without God’s vision for life, marriage, and fatherhood, lacking work ethic, distracted by video games and entertainment, and thus unprepared and even uninformed about God’s design for their lives.This is part of the reason we held The Overcomer Course the past two years—to help young adults understand and pursue God’s call on the most important issues of life. We aren’t holding the two-day Course this year due to managing workload but we wanted to devote a program to the importance of “Preparing Boys for Marriage and Fatherhood.”Helping us do that is our guest, Dr. Ernie Baker. Ernie is the Chair of the Master of Arts in Biblical Counseling at The Master’s University and the author of several books, including one we will discuss, Marry Wisely, Marry Well. Ernie is also the featured speaker at the upcoming “Wisdom, Romance the Single Years Conference” on Aug. 21-22 at Anchor Bible Church in Plymouth, MN which is designed for those in their 20s and late teens. Preview and register for the conference here.Also, in the final segment, we’ll hear from my late father back in 2019 when he spoke some words of exhortation to his children and grandchildren.

UFOs and Aliens: The Bible Tells Us Who They Are

Send us Fan MailGuest: Derrick Warfel, author, UFOs and GodNo doubt you’ve noticed how mainstream the subject of UFOs and aliens has become. Major broadcast networks show videos of objects flying in ways that defy what we know about physics. Reputable people, including from the military and intelligence services, report their encounters with alien life forms. Even our president is being asked what the government knows about UFOs and extraterrestrial life.So are intelligent life forms visiting us from far-reaching places in the universe? And if so, for what purpose? If UFOs and aliens are real, does it shake the Christian faith to the core?Popular film producer Steven Spielberg seems to think so. His new blockbuster film, Disclosure Day, is about to release.On the subject of extraterrestrial life, Spielberg said, “What does this do to the fundamental beliefs that many of us have? Is God our God only on this planet? Or is God a god for every system where there’s civilization and intelligent life, and even developing life?”Derrick Warfel is our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview. He is also a longtime filmmaker and the author of the book, UFOs and God— Revealing Deception and Truth Behind the Supernatural, Invisible War. He will explain how UFOs and so-called aliens are perfectly consistent with a biblical worldview. There is a spiritual war for the souls of men so let’s get informed to shed light on the emerging deception.

Praise God That He Gives Victory Over Pride Month

Send us Fan MailGuest: Daren Mehl, Co-Founder, Made Free MinistriesSadly, June has become synonymous with “Pride Month,” where sexual sin and rebellion against God are not repented of but celebrated. Parades, often with lewd behavior, march through the streets, rainbow flags are flown, and the media and organizations trip over themselves to promote what God’s Word everywhere condemns.The lie that has been swallowed is that people are born, even created by God, whatever they identify as in the LGBTQIA+ alphabet.Our guest today, pastor Daren Mehl of Made Free Ministries, knows first-hand that this is a lie from the pit of hell. God’s rescue of Daren out of homosexuality highlights the lavish grace of God but also how errant churches confuse and keep people in their sin.
