UPCOMING PROGRAM: OCTOBER 31, 2026

GUEST: ROD D. MARTIN, Philosopher Capitalist, The Rod Martin Report

When Donald Trump made his unlikely political comeback to win the presidency for a second, nonconsecutive term in 2024, many Christians and conservatives hoped America would return to sanity for years to come.

Two years later, while many of the anti-God, anti-America policies of the Biden administration have been curtailed, the movement determined to undermine Christian and constitutional principles is champing at the bit to wrest control of Congress from Republicans and make Trump’s final two years in office as difficult as possible.

Meanwhile, a war-turned-standoff with Iran continues to create instability in the Middle East, contributing to higher gas prices at home and fueling anti-Israel sentiment abroad. Unrest in France and other European countries, including clashes involving Islamist and far-left movements, raises troubling questions about what could happen in America if similar ideologies gain greater influence.

In the midst of all this, many Evangelical churches continue on with “regular programming” as if ignoring the issues that oppose God and Scripture and impact our lives is preferable to informing congregants how to think and engage, the least of which to vote for the better of two options.

Our guest this weekend, Rod D. Martin, believes Christians are called not to passivity but to be what Scripture commands—salt and light for the gospel and truth—not just within the walls of the church but in every sphere of society, including politics.

Rod has a distinguished background in putting those convictions into practice. He is founder and CEO of Martin Capital and The Rod Martin Report, a technology entrepreneur, geopolitical analyst, and author of several books, including Trump’s New World Re-Order: Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Postwar Globalist Rule. He was part of PayPal’s startup team, has served on the board of the Center for Security Policy, co-founded the Conservative Baptist Network, and served on the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Join us this weekend as we discuss the midterm elections, turmoil in the Middle East, and why Christians must stand firm, speak truth, and remain faithful until Christ returns.
