Politics By Faith w/Mike Slater

Someone called in and asked how to strike up political conversations with people. Another caller had great advice, "Just put the ball in play." I've been thinking about that all day. It might be awkward, but just do it. We're so obsessed with comfort that we're afraid of a little awkwardness? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Someone called in today on the radio show and was spouting nonsense. Another listener said this person is who we used to call a "bleeding heart liberal." Where did that term come from? Once I learned its origin, I think it's something we should reclaim as our own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I have a test and a challenge this week. If, when you see a clip of the Convention and feel anxious or angry, if we can all do this one thing, we will be so much better off. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have made it their mission to wage war on the United States Supreme Court following a series of decisions they disagreed with. They now have a platform focused on undermining the will of the court in order to eliminate a critical check and balance of the United States government. Will they succeed? Join Mike Slater and his panel of Supreme Court...

Tim Walz keeps talking about a Golden Rule. First, there is only ONE Golden Rule. It's THE Golden Rule, not one of many. But then, he doesn't even quote it right. Be watchful of insidious lies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning on the Sirius/XM show we talked to an actual Command Sergeant Major who served with Tim Walz. There is no question Tim has lied about his rank and service. But why? Because when your god is your belly, you'll do anything to get ahead. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kamals's vetting team knew he was a liar about his service. They just didn't care, and they're counting on you not caring, too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has become a pillar of America’s institutions, whether you like it or not. By President Biden’s own admission, he chose Kamala Harris as his VP (and now successor) due to her race and gender. This kind of ideology has spread through corporate America in a dangerous way. From America’s airline industry to the entertainment and even the CHURCH, DEI is everywhere you l...

We had a caller today who was hopeless. Being hopeless is not good. Depression is not good. But lamenting the brokenness around us is very good. It's a form of worship. It's necessary. So let's do some of that right now. Lamenting brokenness might seem like a form of hopelessness, but it's not, because you're appealing to God. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's very telling that the obvious choice for Kamala's VP is the governor of the state with the 4th most electoral votes, but she can't. She can't because he's Jewish. What does that say about the Democratic party today? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Some of the finest people I know are dealing with unbearable loss right now. I don't know what grieving looks like in this magnitude. Ecclesiastes 7:2 is where I turned this morning. And I love this line form Spurgeon, "The heart is made better by sorrow because it is made more free from earth." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kamala has united the Democrat party and the media. They've controlled the last two weeks of narrative and are deceiving everyone about who she and they really are. The polls are tightening and it's very possible that Kamala could win the next election, which is crazy to consider. So what are we to do? Learn more about your ad choices.

The drive-by media flies so fast, that Trump getting hit in the head with a bullet seems like old news. But let's think about it for a moment: what if that bullet went through his brain? I can't even imagine what this country's response would be. Today, we talk about Lincoln's eulogy and look at 2 Peter 1 as a reminder of what's in our control.  Learn more about your ad choices.
