A Covenant for America's Second 250 Years - Part 1 by Mike Sharman

In the name of God, Amen. 1 We humble ourselves before the divine Author of our individual and national existence 2 and ask Him to provide a safe journey for us and our children through our nation’s next two hundred fifty years. 3 Almighty God rules over the universe. He is the Lord of our bodies and our minds. 4 He presides in the councils of nations. 5 He is the great Provider of all public and private good 6 that was, that is, or that will be. 7 Throughout our history, He has been our constant friend. 8 Humbly we approach His throne with praise for the wonders which He has done and with gratitude for His glorious light of the gospel, whereby, through the merits of the gracious Redeemer, we may ourselves become the heirs of God’s eternal glory. 9 We commit to Him that our first and principal desire is to assist our families and neighbors to come to the true worship of God as He is revealed in the Bible. 10 We acknowledge that the Bible is itself the government of the People, by the People, and for the People. 11 We remain convinced that the only legitimate purpose of government is to promote the welfare of mankind 12 and to secure God-given rights 13, therefore, we should choose leaders who entirely love and will promote the common good. 14 Our public officials need to be praying people and a prayed-for people. 15 We ask the God of Wisdom, the Great Governor of the World, to encourage our leaders to create laws that would honor Him and be in keeping with His Word. 16 We recognize that our blessings of liberty cannot be preserved unless we firmly adhere to 17 the foundations of our national policy which were laid in the eternal rules which God Himself ordained. 18 When we as individuals are not influenced by those moral principles, we look in vain for public virtue. 19 Recognition of the Supreme Being has always been the first and most basic expression of Americanism 20 , but even those who do not believe in God receive the blessings of our nation’s settled and quiet Government 21 because God’s fundamental principles of liberty formed the basis on which our nation’s laws were erected. 22 We realize, however, that we are a nation of differing and often competing faiths, a body politic comprised of freemen, rather than a religious dictatorship imposed upon the unwilling. 23 The manner in which we carry out the duty we owe to our Creator can be directed only by reason and conviction, and not by force or violence. 24 Our citizenship duties are to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other. 25 Bigotry is simply inconsistent with our declaration 26 that Creator God made all men equally free, endowed with inherent rights for the enjoyment of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 27 These truths are self-evident and need no other proof 28, and we will not, and can not, sell these gifts from God, or give them away. 29 We depend solely upon the Great Arbiter of the Universe by whom empires rise and fall 30 and the Invisible Hand 31 which has given us the choicest bounties of Heaven. We recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord. We humble ourselves before God’s power, confess our national sins, and pray for His forgiveness. 32 LORD, we sing “In God Is our Trust” to you in a united chorus. 33 Grant us a new birth of freedom in You, so that our government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth 34, but shall continue as one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 35 All this we ask in the name and through the merits of Jesus Christ Thy Son and Our Savior. 36 +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

Do What You're Told: A 40-Year Career in Christian Radio

In this special milestone episode, Mike Sharman, general counsel of Share HealthCare, turns the tables to interview veteran broadcaster Doug Apple. Reflecting on four decades of full-time work in Christian radio, Doug pulls back the curtain on the industry's evolution and the personal sacrifices required to stay faithful to his calling. -- Doug reveals the "crazy" leap of faith he took early in his career, quitting a job without a backup plan just weeks before his wedding because he felt led by God. -- He recounts the challenges of maintaining his Christian values in a secular radio environment, including his refusal to voice advertisements for alcohol. -- Doug discusses the shift in the Christian radio industry, from the "mom and pop" local stations of the 80s to the massive national networks we see today, and why he believes the local touch still matters. -- He shares the profound, often difficult experience of moving his family across the country in mid-life, trusting that God’s direction was worth the risk. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/

No Network: One Important Aspect of Medical Freedom by Mike Sharman

Have you ever felt trapped by the restrictive networks of traditional health insurance? When your choice of doctor is dictated by a contract, your health can suffer. In this conversation, we explore a refreshing alternative that prioritizes patients over policies.

Sharia Law and Islamic Influence in America by Mike Sharman

Join us for a theological and constitutional analysis of the Islamic holiday Eid and the realities of Sharia Law. After discovering that tech giants like Apple enforce the inclusion of Islamic holidays on personal calendars, we dive deep into what Sharia actually dictates, how it structurally threatens American civil liberties, and how true freedom is ultimately anchored in Christian principles. Mike Sharman, having studied an extensive text on Islamic jurisprudence, breaks down the legal code to explain why the foundational premises of an Islamic state directly contradict the supreme law of the United States. -- The Core Conflict: Sharia law dictates that the right to rule belongs to Allah alone and that all affairs must be conducted within the limits of the Koran, making it fundamentally incompatible with the US Constitution as the supreme law of the land. -- The Global Vision: Islamic theology views humanity as a single corporate nation, driving an imperial, empire-building faith where the state exists purely as an agency to enforce divine commands globally. -- Historical Fallacies of Eid: The holiday of Eid celebrates Abraham's near-sacrifice of Ishmael, a premise that directly contradicts both the Christian and Hebrew Bibles, which contain older, physically verifiable documents showing that Isaac was the son on the altar. -- Human Rights Violations: Under literal Sharia code, the punishment for adultery is a potentially fatal 100 lashes, women enticing adultery face life-long house confinement, and marriage is permissible immediately upon hitting puberty. -- Freedom vs. Coercion: The founding fathers designed the First Amendment for a culture shaped by Christianity, ensuring faith is shared through voluntary communication and free will rather than political or physical coercion. -- Exercising Liberty through Community: True liberty thrives where the Spirit of the Lord is, a principle reflected in how believers handle practical needs like medical burdens through faith-based initiatives like Share HealthCare. +++++++ You can find out more information about Share HealthCare by calling 1-844-Share HC, or by visiting their website: https://sharehealthcare.com/
