58- SEEKING ULTIMATE TRUTH: THE THREE WISE MEN *A Christmas Special*
The Magi, usually referred to as The Three Wise Men of the Nativity, came to honor the “Newborn King” and to present valuable gifts, gifts for a king (gold, frankincense, and myrrh), and to learn if the prophecies were true. Apparently, they were not disappointed. The Wise Men seemed to understand. They had done their homework! For anyone on their own life-quest seeking Truth, it is hard to find a better historical example than these three special men. It’s foundational to the Christmas message. Ultimate, eternal truth, no...

57 - AMERICA'S SECRET WEAPON AGAINST COMMUNISM | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr (Racial Activist) | Cold War
Dr. Martin Luther King understood that a racist nation could never win the Cold War. The world watched as the Soviet propaganda machine cranked up during the 1950s thru the 1970s, flooding the world with images of American race riots, segregation, and racial injustice. Because of America’s perceived injustices, Communists gained the advantage globally. But with passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, discrimination laws based upon skin color were eliminated. The day Dr. King longed for—The Dream—when his children “would be judged by the content of their character.” He sacrifice...

56 - HISTORY'S GREATEST KNIGHT | William Marshal ("The Peacemaker") | The Middle Ages
William Marshal, known famously as “The Peacemaker,” stepped forward when the Magna Carta—the first of the great freedom documents promoting individual liberty—was about to be discarded. He rescued and enforced this pivotal pact of freedom but would never have had the influence necessary without his incredibly heroic and revered life. For becoming “the world’s greatest knight” was not something anyone expected from a boy of his lowly status. He began life with everyone he knew corrupt and self-serving. We would expect William Marshal to be the same. Yet...

"GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH..." With British attacks on the rise, the Second Virginia Assembly held an emergency session. PATRICK HENRY arrived in Richmond with a single goal. He rose from his seat with no notes in hand. “If we wish to be free, we must fight!” He shouted. “An appeal to arms, and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us. For the next gale that sweeps from the North will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms. Our brethren are already in the field...

A Pilgrim child saw a naked figure watching their village from the trees. Some became afraid. Finally, as the Pilgrims worked near the edge of a clearing, a native man stepped calmly out of the woods and strolled easily towards them wearing nothing but a loincloth. What shocked them most was when he called out to them…in perfect English! The man’s name was SQUANTO. And his miraculous story was so impossible at first no one believed it. As well, Squanto had every ri...

It’s a true injustice when our illustrious heroes are purposely “cancelled” because of the too-common curse of professional jealousy and power politics. Sadly, it’s even more prevalent today and why a large majority of Americans no longer trust our media. For one of America’s finest cryptographers, a man who singlehandedly saved the US Navy’s Pacific Fleet and delivered the Japanese Navy to American dive bombers at the Battle of Midway, was actually punished for his life-saving accomplishments. His name was Captain Joseph J. Rochefort, a br...

In April of 1861, the War Between the States broke out. Nine-year-old Johnny Lincoln Clem ran away from home to join the Union Army. But Johnny found the Army not particularly interested in recruiting a boy. The commander of the 3rd Ohio Regiment told him he “wasn't enlisting infants just yet,” and sent him home. Johnny, then headed to the 22nd Michigan Regiment nearby. Determined, Johnny tagged along and demonstrated his skill as a drummer boy so professionally the commander allowed him to stay with the regiment. ...

As he watched the men march, he longed to join with them, to be accepted into this prestigious institution. Still, he knew that because of his poor, disadvantaged life, such a dream could never be achieved. But this was no ordinary boy.

Morning of September 10, 1813. The British naval squadron under Commander Robert Harriet Barclay, advanced with the confidence and skill of the world’s most powerful navy. Facing them that day was a young American naval officer just *27-years-old*... Oliver Hazard Perry. As the two fleets closed distance near Put-In-Bay, Ohio, Commander Perry’s men braced themselves.

The Enlightenment is often painted as an age when cold science triumphed over devotion to God. This message of today’s Secular-Progressive World is anything but true. Many of the greatest minds of that age were men whose Christian faith shaped their scientific genius. They did not see their work as dismantling God’s place in the cosmos but where the veil of creation was peeled back just enough for these men to glimpse the craftsmanship of the Creator.

Helmuth Gunther Hubener grew up in Germany during Hitler’s rise to power. Helmuth was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sometimes called “Mormons.” Helmuth could see that his beloved Germany was being destroyed systematically from within. He and his friends felt compelled to tell the people of Germany what was really going on. So, with a borrowed typewriter, they produced short pamphlets and passed them out, warning everyone about the bad things the Nazi secret police and the military were doing.

Both Stephen and Charlie Kirk were young and exceptionally dedicated to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Both spoke truth in the public forum before all who would listen. And in the end, we know, both met violent deaths at the hands of those who passionately hated the truth. ...

Stephen Collins Foster was the creator and author of what many call the American Soundtrack. We were a young nation at the time, a divided nation, an angry nation. The tunes that escaped his troubled heart offered hope at a time when many thought the United States would fracture and fall. His music captured America’s sorrows, but also its joys and beauties. His work revealed the mighty paradox in the American soul. One that, in the ancient words of Moses, “proclaimed liberty throughout the land” while nurturing the ugly institution of slave...

And odds were that he should have died alone and in despair on the disease-infested island where he was born. ...

Too often today the Alamo is depicted as a bunch of American white-supremacists who oppressed the local population, hoping to “steal Mexican lands.” This is tiring, simplistic, and woefully unfair. History rewritten. Settlers in Texas were promised freedom and independence by the Mexican Government. In the spring of 1836, those who fortified the Alamo against the dictator General Santa Anna were patriots, many born and raised in Texas, native sons. And they understood they might not survive yet willingly stayed and fought to the death. The Alamo proves the poi...

On the Pennsylvanian shore of the Delaware River, Washington conceived a desperate plan—to cross back over the river into New Jersey and attack a Hessian garrison of 1,200 men. The Hessians were German mercenaries fighting for the British. Throughout that frigid night, Glover and his Marbleheaders rowed Washington’s Army across the ice-choked river, thought to be an impossible feat and attacked the Hessian Garrison, killing 100 and taking 900 Hessian soldiers as prisoners. When the battle ended, General Washington turned to the doctor for his men, General Hugh Mercer, saying: “Hugh, we won a gr...

Over the past half-millennium, the name of Christopher Columbus has run the gambit from hero to genocidal monster. By his own admission, Columbus “was not an educated man.” Yet he spoke at least four languages and could write skillfully in two. He was a devout Christian who never uttered a profanity, yet spent his life around sailors, some of the most profane men on earth. Today our children are taught to blame Columbus for much of the evil in our world. This is unjust. Certainly, Columbus was anythi...

16 - FROM APOSTATE TO PROPHET | Abraham Lincoln | Civil War (Part TWO)
The American nation was dying. Everyone could see it. The South’s leaders, both military and political, were determined to tear apart the United States, breaking up the American continent into several opposing “statelets,” some slave, some free, but all hating each other in perpetuity. To stop and defeat this Satanic process was, in my mind, why President Abraham Lincoln was born and why he is perhaps the most irreplaceable hero in America’s illustrious past. In this Episode (Part 2) we will see how the Lord used President L...

We are all at a different place on life’s road. President Abraham Lincoln was not only at a different place, but on an entirely different road! But the Lord had not forgotten Lincoln, and by extension, us and our great nation during its most trying times. And though Lincoln’s path was as trying as any, Lincoln came to understand that he must, in our behalf, persevere. God had a mission for him and for the United States of America. This incredible yet forgotten story from America’s past is precisel...

14 - AMERICA'S FORGOTTEN WARRIORS | Navajo Code Talkers (Marines) | WWII
The Japanese were breaking every code. American Marines were dying by the thousands. Something had to be done. Then in 1942, 29 young Navajo men from Arizona, including Carl Gorman, stepped forward and volunteered to fight the Japanese. Their contributions ended up saving the lives of thousands of Marines and shortening the war by at least a year. They were known as the famous Navajo Code Talkers and I became friends with one of the most decorated of the platoon. This is the story of how I met Carl Gor...

On February 3, 1994, MOTHER TERESA was asked to speak to the gathering of the National Prayer Breakfast, hosted by the Washington, D.C. establishment at the lavish Hilton Hotel in their Grand Ballroom. And there amid America’s most powerful politicians, CEOs, religious leaders, and celebrities, Mother Teresa delivered a short message that shook them to the core.

Barely out of her teens, Sophie Scholl stood with her jailer facing the steel and wood contraption of death called the guillotine. It seemed surreal at first, but then her eyes focused upon the glinting razor-sharp blade and her blood ran cold. Then Sophie felt the rough hand of the jailer on her back, shoving her into the room... Sophie Scholl, though still a teenager, knew pure evil when she saw it. She created the passive resistance movement White Rose against the Nazis. Her efforts were gaining moment...

“GEORGE WASHINGTON IS TO BE DRAWN AND QUARTERED!” 56 patriots—America’s Colonial leaders—signed our Declaration of Independence. Think about it, often those with the most to lose courageously stepped forward knowing they would be targeted by the most powerful king on earth. Courageously they put their name right where King George III could not miss it on the Declaration of Independence. The Signers all knew the seriousness of signing a document of high treason against the crown. They knew George the 3r...

Should Christians care about St. Nick? What did he do anyway? WELL, we're glad you asked... Christianity was dying, being brought down by a Church hierarchy who believed in pomp and ceremony controlled by the Elites, rather than humble service to the struggling masses. Saint Nicholas helped change that "one good deed at a time." He set the example that altered the course of a struggling Church, returning key leaders to focus on the children and upon humble service, sacrifice, and Christlike love. Saint Nicholas, among others, hel...

For decades, polling has shown that the public trusts Democrats – and their more liberal-minded policy ideas – far more than Republicans when it comes to education. Now, one nationally celebrated conservative education thinker thinks he can change that. “Conservatives are actually much better positioned than liberals to take the lead on this issue,” says Rick Hess, Director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute.
