Natural Family Month

Date: April 30, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Rob Pue & J. R. Harrison MP3 | Order

J.R. Harrison is the director of the National Family Foundation while Rob Pue is the founder & publisher of Wisconsin Christian News.

The natural family is under attack and targeted for destruction.  Just look at how America has redefined terms such as “marriage”, “family”, “male” and “female”.  When changed, what’s to stop them from expanding to unknown levels?  

Consider the hijacking of our calendar.  Gay pride day has turned into gay pride month.  Now the GLAAD LGBTQ calendar has the following: February 7th–National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day.  The week after Valentine’s Day–Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week.  February 28–HIV is Not a Crime Awareness Day.  March–Bisexual Health Awareness Month.  Also in March–National LGBT Health Awareness Week.  There’s many more that could be listed from throughout the year but you get the point.

Instead of reacting by cursing the darkness, Rob Pue and J.R. Harrison is instead lighting a candle in celebration of what’s being called, “Natural Family Month”, which extends from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day.  It’s not about complaining.  Instead, it’s an attempt to take a positive approach by citing a historical, best practice.

To find out how you can get a Natural Family Month celebration started in your community and what’s involved in the natural family promise, listen to this broadcast and then go to the link below.

Muslim Agenda for America

Date: April 29, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Usama Dakdok MP3 | Order

Usama Dakdok is founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry.  He’s the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam.  He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur’an into English.  He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur’an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life.

Pro-Islamic uprisings are taking place on university campuses across the nation.  These universities have been called incubators of terrorism. Columbia University has been “ground zero” for these uprisings.  It’s spreading like wildfire with people like Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, a strong supporter of Hamas, fanning the flames.  Usama calls these university protests, “…the early fruits of the tree of Islam which has been growing in our land…”

Usama described how Muslims want the name of Israel changed to Palestine and the last Jew killed along with all those who stand against Islam.  By doing that, they believe we’ll have world peace.  However, he also noted that if this were to ever happen, it would be the fast “falling down” of Islam around the world.  Why?  It’s because of something the world doesn’t want to talk about.  It’s the fact that this is when Muslims would really begin killing each other in larger numbers than we’ve ever seen.  This is due to the fact that there are more Muslims killed at the hands of other Muslims than by the hand of any infidel.Did these protests just appear out of nowhere?  At what point will Muslims have the upper hand?  What exactly is the connection between Hamas and the Palestinians?  The answers to these and other questions, along with what’s being chanted and spoken at the protests, points to the fact that Islam has a plan for America that precedes even the barbaric October 7th attack on Israel.  That plan is revealed when you hear what Usama had to say on this edition of Crosstalk.

Christian Nationalism

Date: April 25, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: William J. Federer MP3 | Order

William Federer is a nationally known speaker, historian, author, and the President of Amerisearch Inc. He is the speaker on The American Minute daily broadcast. He has authored numerous books including America’s God and Country Encyclopedia of Quotations, Who is the King in America?, and Socialism: The Real History From Plato to the Present – How the Deep State Capitalizes on Crises to Consolidate Control.

Increasingly we are barraged with the term “Christian Nationalism.” Here are some of the recent headlines:

American Progress – Christian Nationalism Is ‘Single Biggest Threat’ To America’s Religious Freedom

NPR – Tracing The Rise Of Christian Nationalism From Trump To The Alabama Supreme Court

Politico – Trump Allies Prepare To Infuse ‘Christian Nationalism’ In Second Administration

TheNation.com – The Terrifying Christian Nationalist Crusade To Conquer America

The Hill – America Is Facing A Threat Of Biblical Proportion: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism

Just earlier this week an email went out to media outlets announcing that a 401(c)4 group, Faith Forward, says it is “dedicated to bringing people of faith together to restore the soul of the nation, ramping up operations locally, and will be communicating with faith voters in an effort to fight back against Christian Nationalists who have been trying to co-opt religious language in order to deceive voters.”

Yet when you look at this group’s site, it uses the guise of religion and religious language in the section “God Made All of Us” to promote four more years of President Joe Biden. The group’s goal is to fight back against Christian Nationalists.

What is Christian Nationalism? Is this view a threat to our Constitutional Republic?

Passover & Exploding Antisemitism

Date: April 24, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Andy Ferrier MP3 | Order

Andy Ferrier is a Representative of the Midwest Messianic Center. Andy is burdened with reaching Jewish people with the good news that Jesus (Yeshua) is the Jewish Messiah.

An anti-Israel and anti-Jewish sentiment is exploding on university campuses across the country especially in the bluest of cities. There are those calling for another “October 7th” on every day of the year. There are those calling for the Intifada, which is wiping Israel off the face of the earth. University campuses have been the breeding grounds for anti-Jewish hatred.

Just earlier today, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement condemning the anti-Semitic protests saying it was reminiscent of 1930’s Germany.

This hatred of Jewish people is growing during this week of Passover. Not only is there trouble at home, but Hezbollah attacked Israel during the Passover holiday. This program discusses the antisemitism taking place, and gives information and understanding about Passover itself.

Whatever Happens:  Standing Firm when the World is Falling Apart

Date: April 23, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Robert Morgan MP3 | Order

Robert J. Morgan is the Leader of Robert J. Morgan Ministries, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to energize God’s people with a greater understanding and appreciation of the Bible and Christian heritage. He served in pastoral ministry for over 40 years, and is a bestselling author with over 35 books in print. He’s been with us several times on Crosstalk discussing some of his books such as Then Sings My Soul, The Red Sea Rules, The Jordan River Rules, 100 Bible Verses That Made America, The 50 Final Events in World History and Great is Thy Faithfulness. He’s with us today discussing his book Whatever Happens: Standing Firm When the World Is Falling Apart.

Do you struggle in your faith as you observe a world that is falling apart? Each day do you wake up wondering what is going to happen next and will you be able to survive? We observe a political system that has run amok with more of our freedoms being taken while “the system” gains control. There is unrest in the world and we wonder when or where the next military action will take place. We see problems in our healthcare system with escalating rates, longer wait times and denial of care. Our education system is doing more brainwashing than educating. Uprisings are taking place on university campuses. Inflation is off the charts and we wonder what the next grocery item will be that we can no longer afford. There is a growing animosity toward Christianity and a greater intolerance of Christian values and beliefs. Are these things rocking your boat?

The early Christian church in Philippi was distressed over the terrible things that had happened to the apostle Paul such as his imprisonment in Caesarea, his shipwreck on Malta, and his looming trial in Rome. Would Paul ever see freedom again? And yet while Paul was imprisoned, the church provided him with both personal support and financial support. Paul being filled with gratitude sent an inspiring letter which we know as the book of Philippians. It’s a book that helps us stay strong in our faith as the world falls apart.

Demographic Winter

Date: April 22, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Don Feder MP3 | Order

Don Feder is a writer, researcher and columnist. He is a graduate of the Boston University College of Liberal Arts and the Boston University Law School. He was admitted to the practice of law in New York and Massachusetts. He was a Boston Herald editorial writer and syndicated columnist for 19 years. Since November of 2021, he has been a staff writer for the Washington Times. He has been a communications consultant, writer and conference organizer for various pro-life and pro-family NGO’s. He is the recipient of numerous awards.

In Genesis 1 we see the handiwork of God in creation. He created man in his own image. He created male and female. In Genesis 1:28 it says, “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” We see Adam and Eve having Abel, then Cain, and then Seth. In Genesis 5:4 we read that Adam and Eve begat sons and daughters. This carried on person after person. You can read the genealogy in Genesis 5.

However, there is a growing problem. It’s not that we have too great a population, but rather that worldwide fertility is declining. It’s being reported that every industrialized nation today has fertility rates under replacement levels. Our guest today has indicated that we are heading for a demographic train wreck, which he is terming a “demographic winter.” Demographers and governments know about it, but no one can figure out what to do about it.

The Attack on Israel:  A View From Within

Date: April 18, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: David Rubin MP3 | Order

David Rubin is former mayor of Shiloh Israel as well as the author of seven books including, Confronting Radicals: What America Can Learn from Israel. He’s the founder and president of Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund, established after he and his then three-year-old son were wounded in a terror attack.  His websites are DavidRubinIsrael.com and IsraelChildren.org. He is in the region of Judea and Samaria.

David began by describing how he reacted upon hearing that Iran had sent missiles toward Israel.  Fortunately, 99% of the missiles were picked off by air defenses.  One child was wounded badly and there was some property damage.

He commented on President Biden who has warned Israel not to retaliate against Iran in a big way.  However, David pointed out the reality that Israel is currently fighting a war on five fronts: Lebanon where the Hezbollah terrorist organization is located, Judea and Samaria (West Bank), Gaza, and the south where Iran has been supporting the Houthis.  Iran is the fifth front, a nation that is on the nuclear threshold.  In the end, he says there will be a response by Israel, and it will be “pretty soon.”   

Is the Biden administration trying to play both ends in the Israel/Iran dilemma?  How large is Iran’s arsenal and what is the status of their nuclear program?  Is the attack by Iran giving Hamas time to regroup?  How does David view the anti-Israel protests on college campuses and in leftist cities?  These and other questions are answered on this edition of Crosstalk.

By Whose Authority?

Date: April 17, 2024 Host: Jim Schneider ​Guest: Shahram Hadian MP3 | Order

Shahram Hadian is a former Muslim from Iran who came to the states in 1978 and committed his life to Jesus Christ.  He has served as a pastor, a police officer, and a former candidate for Governor in Washington State.

Some people today are conflicted when it comes to the issue of what authority we must give our allegiance/submission to in various situations.  Some believe we must obey the government no matter what, while others take exception to that position.

So what does the Bible say?  Romans 13:1-7 lays out what our responsibility is to be to the governing authorities.  However, Shahram believes there are some who have misused this passage to justify false obedience to the government, especially if the government is in violation of God’s Word.

The foundation for his reasoning comes from his explanation of Romans 13:1.  He noted that modern translations use the phrase, “governing authorities” while the King James Version says, “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers.”  He explained that the phrase, “higher powers” comes from an original Greek term (hyperecho) that refers to the highest authority.  From this he contends that since government isn’t the highest authority, that portion of the text must be referring to God.

Shahram then moved on to explain what he referred to as the four rulers or magistrates and the program wrapped up with input from listeners nationwide.
