Politics By Faith w/Mike Slater

Progressives aren't "for" anything. They are against God's Word. This manifests in pretty wild ways, like the story of Lindy West. But lest we get too prideful, we need to realize the lessons of John 12.

How can college kids on spring break be so foolish? But the Bible speaks of spring-breakers, and gives us a warning if we don't change our ways.

In this conversation, Mike Slater sits down with Emma Waters to discuss what every woman of faith needs to hear right now. Drawing from her book, they explore timeless biblical principles for identity, strength, and purpose in today’s culture. This is an encouraging and practical look at what it means to live faithfully as a woman in a changing world.

In this conversation, Mike Slater sits down with Pastor J. Chase Davis to unpack what the Bible truly calls men to be in today’s culture. As masculinity is increasingly questioned and redefined, they explore God’s design for strength, leadership, and purpose—drawing from Pastor Davis’s book Offensive Christianity. This is a timely and direct look at why biblical manhood still matters—and what’s at stake if it’s ignored.

Stephen C. Meyer dives into his influential book Return of the God Hypothesis, arguing that groundbreaking discoveries in cosmology, physics, and biology—such as the universe's origin, fine-tuning for life, and the coded information in DNA—provide strong scientific evidence for a purposeful intelligent designer rather than purely materialistic explanations. Meyer challenges the notion that science and faith are inherently at odds, showing how modern evidence is actually reviving the God hypothesis as the most reasonable inference from the data. This discussion ties directly into the themes of the upcoming documentary The Story of Everything, offering viewers a clear, thought-provoking case for why science may be pointing back to a divine mind behind it all.
