Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeAre we in a Constitutional Crisis?Send us a textIn this gripping and deeply unsettling episode, we walk listeners through a real-life constitutional nightmare that every American should be paying attention to. Imagine starting your morning with government agents at your door—no explanation, no charges, no rights read to you, and no court appearance. Instead, you and your loved one are taken and forcibly deported, without warning, despite being legally permitted to remain in the country. This isn’t a dystopian thriller—it’s the true story of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legally present immigrant living in Maryland with no criminal record a...2025-04-1506 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeConspiracy Finds a Home at The Epoch TimesSend us a textWhat if one of the most widely shared conservative news sources on social media wasn’t just a media outlet, but the mouthpiece of a fringe spiritual movement—one that believes in demons, karma, and a cosmic showdown between good and evil? In this explosive episode, host Shane E. Burkett pulls back the digital curtain on The Epoch Times—a media juggernaut that grew from a quiet anti-communist newsletter into a $122 million empire, pushing everything from political conspiracy theories to climate change denial, all while allegedly laundering millions through a compl...2025-04-1407 min

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the powerful and deeply dysfunctional Trump family dynamic, guided by someone who knows it firsthand: Mary Trump, Donald Trump’s niece and a clinical psychologist. Mary’s book Too Much and Never Enough paints a chilling portrait of how Fred Trump Sr.’s ruthless parenting shaped not just his own children, but ultimately the highest office in the land. We examine how his strict emotional control and m...2025-03-1909 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeWas Donald Trump for Gender-Affirming Care in Prison?Send us a textThe debate over gender-affirming medical care for incarcerated individuals has become a political flashpoint, but how much of the rhetoric actually reflects reality? In this episode of Perspective: Faith, Science, Politics, and Life, we break down the facts versus the claims. The controversy reignited when the Trump campaign launched a nationwide ad blitz, spending $11 million to push a narrative about Kamala Harris’s past statements on gender-affirming surgeries in prisons. The ad used a 2019 interview out of context, implying that Harris was pushing for widespread acc...2025-03-1909 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeThe Dangers of Prophetic ReligionsSend us a text In this episode, we dive into one of the most extraordinary moments in American religious history—the Great Disappointment of 1844. Thousands of people abandoned their homes, livelihoods, and possessions, convinced that Jesus Christ would return on October 22. When the prophecy failed, the fallout was massive, leading to despair, denial, and the birth of new religious movements. But this isn’t just a history lesson—it’s a psychological case study on belief, brainwashing, and cognitive dissonance. Why do people double down on failed prophecies...2025-03-1611 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeWhatever Happened to The Fairness DoctrineSend us a text For nearly 40 years, U.S. broadcasters were legally required to present balanced viewpoints on controversial issues. This was the Fairness Doctrine, a policy that shaped American media from its origins in the 1930s to its repeal in 1987. But was it a safeguard for democracy or a tool for political manipulation? In this episode, we trace the history, impact, and controversy surrounding the Fairness Doctrine. We start with its early enforcement, when the government required radio and TV st...2025-03-1310 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeThe Sordid Past of the Man who Shaped the Modern Evangelical FaithSend us a text Gerhard Kittel remains one of the most controversial figures in 20th-century biblical scholarship, remembered both for his contributions to theological studies and his active role in Nazi antisemitism. Born in 1888 to the renowned Old Testament scholar Rudolf Kittel, he became a respected biblical lexicographer, most famous for his Theological Dictionary of the New Testament—a reference still used in theological circles today. However, his legacy is deeply tainted by his ideological alignment with the Nazi Party and his role in advancing antisemitic pol...2025-03-1310 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeUnderstanding Critical Race Theory (CRT) a Legal PerspectiveSend us a textCritical Race Theory (CRT) is an academic framework that examines the intersection of race, law, and social structures. Originating in the United States during the late 20th century, CRT challenges traditional legal and societal norms by asserting that racism is not merely an individual bias but a systemic and ingrained aspect of societal institutions. Core Principles: • Social Construction of Race: CRT posits that race is a socially constructed concept without a biological basis, used historically to oppress and exploit people of color. • Permanen...2025-03-1314 min

But how did this happen? And why was it so effective? This podcast unpacks the calculated political strategies that drove this shift, starting with the Civil Rights Movement of the 1...2025-03-1308 min

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeMiddle-Ages Witch TrialsSend us a textBetween the 15th and 18th centuries, thousands of people—mostly women—were accused, tried, and executed for witchcraft in one of the darkest chapters of history.

Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeHow was the Bible Constructed?Send us a textThe Bible, revered by millions worldwide, is a compilation of texts that have been meticulously selected over centuries. The process of determining which books were deemed sacred and authoritative—a process known as the formation of the biblical canon—is a fascinating journey through history, theology, and tradition. The term “canon” originates from the Greek word kanon, meaning “measuring rod” or “standard.” In religious contexts, it refers to the collection of books recognized as divinely inspired and authoritative for faith and practice. The development of the biblical canon was neither instantaneous nor uniform; it e...2025-03-1010 min
