The Christian Outlook - November 2, 2024

Greg Seltz invites Paul Batura, of Focus on the Family, to explore the reasons behind pastors' reluctance to engage with social issues due to fears of backlash. Batura talks about the need for churches to provide a biblical framework for thoughtful engagement in the democratic process.

Bill Bunkley invites George Barna to discuss the responsibility of Christians to engage in elections and influence culture based on biblical values, noting that 41 million born-again Christians plan to not vote, which could significantly impact the election outcome.

Greg Seltz and Jay Richards, author of, “Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War,” assert that Christians are often shamed into silence regarding truth, emphasizing the importance of engaging in cultural battles rather than retreating from them.

Bill Bunkley and Jonathan Turley, author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” talk about how the First Amendment's protection of free speech as a natural, God-given right was a revolutionary idea that has been eroded over time due to an alliance between the government, corporations, media, and academia pushing for censorship.
