America Under Attack

• The radicalization of public-school curricula is affecting more and more children in America and many other nations.
• Educators are teaching the next generation leftist views that depict America as hate-filled and oppressive against people of color, and American history as genocidal. They are exalting wealth redistribution and socialism while condemning free markets. They are encouraging students to become environmental activists. They are teaching radical views about sexuality, normalizing transgenderism, gender fluidity and sexual experimentation.
• These educators realize that implanting these concepts into young minds is an extraordinarily potent means of reshaping society.
• We have a God-given responsibility as parents to serve as our children’s educators. We must counteract these trends in education by teaching our children truth, and morality, and history.

Biblical Manhood

• Science and education almost universally teach that there is no Creator. Man and the material world and universe simply came about by blind, arbitrary natural forces. On today’s program, we explore where such thinking leads us as a society.
• Without God, man is free to devise his own governments, his own social structures, his own ideas of right and wrong—his own morality.
• He is also free to follow the whims of his own imagination—to dream up his own utopia—and to do whatever he deems necessary to fellow man, however horrifying, to implement that dream.
• We look at philosophy and history, as well as the Bible and current events, to evaluate the outcomes and dangers of evolutionary thinking.

What’s Wrong With Our Universities
America’s colleges and universities are increasingly becoming incubators of leftism. Students are being taught about the universality of white supremacy, racial injustice and other radical ideas. The fruits of this indoctrination are being exposed as terribly destructive. We look at several recent examples of students demanding curriculum changes to amplify racial grievances and erase whiteness. We look closely at events on The Evergreen State College, where students took over the campus and turned it into an asylum run by the inmates. This trend shows how civilization itself is under threat.

• Today’s show is about slavery. It isn’t just an abominable relic of the past—it is a reality of today’s world. It is a scourge worth thinking about—because it affects millions of people in almost every country on Earth.
• The painful reality is that you might personally be contributing to the problem! You have to understand why it happens—where the demand is that these slave traffickers are supplying.
• You also need to know what God thinks about it—and develop His compassion for those suffering in slavery, and His anger toward those who perpetrate it.
• We’ll also talk about ways that we ourselves can be held captive in slavery. Millions of people are captive to addictions—to drugs, alcohol, nicotine, food, gambling, pornography and other destructive habits. You may be captive in ways you do not recognize.
• And just as surely as God wants to free those who are suffering in literal physical bondage, He wants to set you free as well.
