Entertaining Spirits Unaware

Jan Markell, Eric Barger, and Jill Martin Rische discuss the normalization of the occult today, even in the church. They target an issue of Christianity Today (magazine) where we are encouraged to reflect on monsters and other dark issues. We carry Eric Barger's excellent book, Entertaining Spirits Unaware: The End-Time Occult Invasion, found here. Jan and Eric then interview American Family Association President Tim Wildmon as to why his organization was called a hate group recently. How far will the secular world go to marginalize Christians and all we stand for? Very far. The Bible predicts it.

The Cross in the Crosshairs

Our first topic is "Christian Yoga." Jan Markell and her co-hosts, Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische, discuss why the two cannot ever blend, although sound bytes are played of one Christian "leader" who thinks they go well together. Then Dr. Emad Shenouda joins Jan to talk about the horrific persecution of Christians in the Middle East. He focuses heavily on the Coptic Christians in Egypt as this is his heritage but the dilemma spans many nations. He is a physician in Iowa who is appealing for prayer on behalf of his brethren.

Global Birth Pang Alert

Jan Markell and co-host Eric Barger quiz Rep. Michele Bachmann about the hastening "birth pang" activity that only accelerates daily. Who is funding the new mosque in your neighborhood or coming to your part of town? Bachmann has just met with several world leaders who cannot recognize America right now. Bachmann feels the baton of global leadership has been passed by America to the Mullahs, the Marxist world, and other dark forces. They also discuss the new national nightmare of ObamaCare and the massive invasion of privacy expected. But the focus is on the privilege of being a part of the challenges of this generation that could see Christ's return. The Bible says that "these things must happen" at the time just prior to His return. We are in a spiritual war and the King of kings will be the victor so this news is not a downer. Find more info at www.bachmann.house.gov. The panel concludes rejoicing that His day of return is at hand.

Mormonism: Saving America When it Hangs by a Thread

Jan Markell and her co-hosts Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische discuss many angles of Mormonism. They are joined by former Mormon,  Pastor Paul Sheldon. They tackle Glenn Beck's recent "Man in the Moon" extravaganza in Salt Lake City which was a combination of patriotism on display with Mormon trappings. At the heart of Mormon theology is the fact that Mormonism will some day save America when it's Constitution and the very existence of the country hangs by a thread. Sheldon gives his story of exiting Mormonism even though he taught at the lay seminary level. Mormonism is riding in on the coattails of high-profile men, something they have never had before. Beck is clearly their first Mormon televangelist, falsely claiming to be a sincere Bible believing Christian. Many items referred to on air can be found in Olive Tree's online category, "As Heard on the Radio"  here.

The New "Confused" Evangelicals

Jan Markell, Eric Barger, and Larry Kutzler all contribute to this program. In part one Eric Barger and Larry Kutzler look at the "new confused evangelicals." These new evangelicals are rejecting sound doctrine, eternity, and salvation in favor of social justice, environmental concerns, and earthly thinking. In reality, could it be this new movement is merely an update of the old liberalism that decimated the formerly evangelical mainline churches and seminaries over a century ago? Learn who some of the leaders are as Barger and Kutzler play many examples that illustrate how the new confused evangelicals are betraying their namesake -- and the Bible. Then, host Jan Markell offers a bold commentary on the outrages being perpetrated on Americans by her corrupt leadership today.

Islam: The Hammer of Judgment on America?

Jan Markell and co-host Eric Barger quiz former Muslim Brotherhood operative Walid Shoebat about a dozen topics including the love the Left has for Islam, the real reason behind the Benghazi disaster, Hillary Clinton's embarrassing testimony last January and the purpose of the mission there, and the strange Clinton/Abedin/Weiner relationship. Jan asks Walid if Barack Obama is perceived as a Muslim in the Islamic world. Walid then reveals the tie to Wahabbist Islam and the Obama family and the troubling associations of Obama's brother Malik. Obama glorifies his Islamic terror associations and heritage and denounces his Christian side and Shoebat explains why. Shoebat states that the church is being fooled by Islam and that Islam is infiltrating the church through devious means. The three discuss many of those efforts including "The Common Word", Chrislam, and more. Find Shoebat's book, "The Case for Islamophobia: Jihad by the Sword--America's Final Warning," here. Note: this ministry is not in complete eschatological agreement with Shoebat but his warnings concerning Islam must be taken seriously!
