  • Abe, Tim and election results

    Abe: God is merciful to

    Tim: Do you mean that God wanted Trump to win?

    Abe: I mean He is giving us a reprieve.

    Wrong question wrong answer. Biden was (elected) because God wanted him there as was Donald Trump, Daniel 2:21. Tim has such a bias against Trump that he forgets that God raises up kings and puts them in the place wants them when He wants them there. Tim, just because you don’t like Trump doesn’t mean can’t use him.

    I think Tim was very rude to Jenna. As she reported, her dogs barked. I didn’t even hear it on my radio, but it certainly bothered Tim.

    He cut her short and then the three had the nerve to talk about their dogs, not even acknowledging what Jenna said or thanking her for her report. Generally I love the program, but Tim should apologize to Jenna. You know she is calling in from home 😟

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Latest on Iran
Q: What is the main controversy surrounding Thomas Massie in the Kentucky primary?
The hosts discuss Massie as a principled conservative whose voting record sometimes clashes with Trump's agenda, and they explore how Trump's endorsement of his opponent creates a test of loyalty within the GOP and a potential shift in party dynamics.
Israel's Independence Day
Q: What are some of the practical implications for universities that want to keep faith at the center without compromising academic standards?
The guest explains that universities should facilitate environments where faith informs inquiry, encourage dialogue, and present a holistic view of education that includes moral and spiritual formation alongside critical thinking.
Israel's Independence Day
Q: You've written a column about checking faith at the campus gate; can you explain what you mean by maintaining faith within higher education?
The host and guest discuss that faith should be integrated into education, arguing against separating belief from intellect and stressing that carrying Christian convictions can coexist with rigorous scholarship and engagement with diverse ideas.
Discussion on Angels and Demons with Dr. Frank Turek
Q: How should pastors approach teaching about angels, demons, and prophecy in today's churches?
There are dangers in extremes—believing in a demon under every rock and denying their existence altogether; pastors should teach with balanced humility, acknowledging spiritual warfare without overclaiming empirical certainty.
Discussion on Angels and Demons with Dr. Frank Turek
Q: Is there contemporary evidence of Angels and Demons that can be verified today, and how would you begin to answer that question?
The documentary argues there are eyewitness accounts and experiences that can be examined, particularly near-death experiences and testimonies, which believers treat as evidence of supernatural activity, while acknowledging the limits of verification and the role of faith.
