Perspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeAn Urgent Message from the Supreme Court?Send us a textIn this urgent spoken word episode, we dive into Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s powerful remarks delivered at Miami Dade College—where she issued a stark warning: America is at risk of losing its democracy. This episode unpacks her concerns about the rise of authoritarianism, the erosion of constitutional checks and balances, and the danger of overturning legal precedents. With Donald Trump and political allies undermining institutions and threatening to ignore court orders, Sotomayor’s message is clear—our rule of law is under attack. She calls on the public...2025-03-2307 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeToo Much & Never Enough - The Deep Dark Trump Family SecretsSend us a text Family secrets don’t just stay behind closed doors—they shape history in ways we never expect. 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minCreating Space 4 SuccessCreating Space 4 SuccessFour Questions you Need to Ask YourselfSend us a textPotential—it’s a word we hear all the time, but how do we truly measure it?

In this episode of Creating Space 4 Success, host Shane Burkett explores the science of human potential, breaking down what it really means to tap into our talents, grow in our careers, and maximize our impact.  We often hear that we need to “unlock our potential,” but let’s be real—most people struggle to define what potential actually looks like. Lead...2025-03-1710 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeThe Southern Strategy – How the American South Flipped RedSend us a textThe political transformation of the American South is one of the most dramatic and deliberate shifts in U.S. history. Once known as the “Solid South”—a Democratic stronghold where Republicans couldn’t even win a local election—the region completely flipped, becoming a reliable Republican base in just a few decades. 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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. This podcast explores the fear, superstition, and religious fervor that fueled the witch trials of the early modern period, examining why they happened, who was accused, and how societies justified these brutal persecutions. Across Europe and colonial America, witch hunts took on different forms, from the Salem Witch Trials in 1692 to the 2025-03-1008 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: 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 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeUnderstanding the Birth of Christianity - the First Council of NicaeaSend us a textThe First Council of Nicaea, convened in 325 AD, stands as a pivotal moment in Christian history, shaping foundational doctrines and practices that resonate to this day. This podcast delves into the intricate details of the council, exploring its origins, key debates, outcomes, and enduring impact on Christianity. In the early 4th century, the Christian Church faced internal theological disputes that threatened its unity. A primary controversy arose in Alexandria between Archbishop Alexander and the presbyter Arius. Arius contended that Jesus Christ, the Son, was not co-eternal with God the Father but w...2025-03-1009 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeThe King James Version of the BibleSend us a textThe King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, first published in 1611, remains one of the most influential and widely read translations of all time. But how did this monumental work come to be?

Burkett uncovers a chilling development that has quietly put millions of LGBTQ+ Americans at risk.

It means that intelligence agencies now have free rein...2025-03-0712 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeFact Checking Trump's Impromptu Congressional SpeechSend us a textIn this episode of Perspective: Faith, Science, Politics, and Life, we dive deep into former President Trump’s congressional address—the longest in modern history at 99 minutes. While the duration was historic, what truly stood out were the 47 separate claims that require serious fact-checking—and that’s just in the first 30 minutes! So where do we even begin? Let’s start with one of the biggest claims of the night: Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency allegedly uncovered “hundreds of billions” in fraud. But when we checked t...2025-03-0508 minPerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifePerspectives: Faith, Science, Politics & LifeHow critical are those Presidential Ratings?Send us a text Approval ratings—simple, right? Think again. In this episode, we dive deep into the latest polling data and uncover what these numbers really reveal about the state of American democracy. From Gallup’s record-breaking 89-point partisan gap on Trump to Pew’s alarming findings on the widening ideological divide, we break down the numbers that show just how fractured our political landscape has become.  Are these ratings still a useful measure of presidential performance, or have they evolved into something much bigger—an indicator of an increasingly ungovernable nation?

And this isn’t just speculation. Former Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley is warning that benefit interruptions could hit within the next 90 days.
