GUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, Journalist and Author, Crimes of the Educators

It’s axiomatic—the one who teaches children is the one who shapes their worldview, and thus, society at large.

The Bible assigns the teaching and training of children to parents. “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).

But of course, God-rejecting man has a “better” idea—remove children from the (redefined) home to be indoctrinated by government “educators” for up to 40 hours each week from age four to 18. With a government that ignores the most important truth in life—God exists and has spoken in Scripture—how do you think that will turn out for the kids?

Turns out, just as planned. John Dewey (1859-1952), considered the “Father of the Modern American Public Education System” said: “There is no God and there is no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, immutable truth is also dead and buried.”

In case you’re not convinced, Dr. Chester Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychology at Harvard University, said at the Childhood International Education Seminar in 1973:

“Every child who enters school at age 5 is mentally ill because he enters school with an allegiance toward our elected officials, our founding fathers, our institutions, the preservation of this form of government we have, patriotism, nationalism, sovereignty… All this proves that the children are sick, because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all those things and is what I would call the international child of the future.”

Mission accomplished. Taxpayer-funded, federal government-mandated public education has shaped generations of the “international child” with unsuspecting parents losing almost all influence. The moral confusion that reigns in our children and nation today shouldn’t be surprising.

International journalist Alex Newman joins us for a second week on The Christian Worldview to discuss what government education has become and what Christian parents should do. Alex is the author Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America’s Children, CEO of Liberty Sentinel Media and a senior editor for The New American Magazine.

GUEST: DAVID LEGATES, Climatologist and Director of Research and Education, Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation

When God created Adam and Eve, he gave them a dominion mandate: “God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth” (Genesis 1:28).

The dictionary defines a steward as “a person who manages another’s property.” God gave man a steward role with His “property”—the earth. But predictably, man rebels against God’s design and worships himself and the earth.

Scripture explains this in Romans 1: “For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures” (Romans 1:21-23).

Did you notice the result of dishonoring God is futility and foolishness? This describes the God-rejecting environmental movement—we’re told cows and crops are bad, using oil and gas is bad, and humans are especially bad because we’re causing “climate change” and thus there needs to be billions less people so the earth can be saved.

Never mind that the “experts” are wrong time and again with their predictions of doom and gloom for the earth. The next storm, the next flood, the next forest fire…well, “it’s man-caused climate change and we must act before it’s too late!”

As our guest David Le Gates, climatologist and Director of Research and Education for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, will tell us, the world’s environmental worldview is actually a religion, one that worships the earth and man. He will refute the pervasive junk science that is constantly being foisted on us from scientists, politicians, and the media.

Christians aren’t immune to the propaganda, accepting that “loving neighbor” means believing those who have “exchanged the truth of God for a lie” (Romans 1:25). Why would we believe anyone who rejects the most fundamental truth that God exists and has spoken in His Word?

Guest: John Crotts, pastor of Faith Bible Church (Sharpsburg, GA)

There are lots of issues that consume our attention, such as world events, politics, work, family, recreation, health trials, and more. But there is one issue for the Christian that should be of primary focus—loving God.

Loving God means to order our thoughts and actions around what brings glory to God and pleases Him. In fact, Jesus said that loving God with our whole being is “the great and foremost commandment” (Matt. 22:38). Not a suggestion but a commandment.

When the believer grows in love of God, he will enthusiastically want to worship and obey Him. Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Of course—we’ll do anything for someone we truly love.

So how do we grow in our love of God? Is it about trying to manufacture and maintain affectionate feelings toward God, as a man has for a woman with whom he is in love? Should Christians expect to wake up every day just naturally loving God?

John Crotts joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the all-important issue of growing in your love of God. John has been pastor of Faith Bible Church in Sharpsburg, GA for 30 years, hosts the Integrated podcast, and is a fellow with the Fortis Institute, where he produced a video titled, “Head to Heart: Five Ways to Know and Love God.”

GUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, Pastor, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)

John MacArthur, one of the most influential pastors over the past 50+ years, entered heaven on July 14, 2025 after more than two years of health challenges, including heart, lung, and kidney problems.

John, as he preferred to be called, pastored Grace Community Church in Los Angeles for 56 years, authored over 150 books, was heard around the world on Grace To You, the radio ministry that broadcasts his sermons, and led The Master’s Seminary and University, along with a host of other ministries.

Last week in part 1, Travis Allen of Grace Church in Greeley, CO joined us to discuss why MacArthur became the pastor-teacher he was, one that the theologically conservative side of Evangelicalism always looked to to see where he stood on a given issue.

Travis graduated from The Master’s Seminary, taught at Grace Community Church, was the managing director of Grace To You, and knew MacArthur personally over many years. In fact, Travis is marked by at least two qualities of John MacArthur—a “servant of the Word and the flock”. In other words, both have the highest confidence in Scripture and diligently attend to the believers they shepherd in their churches.

Today in part 2, we’ll discuss what made MacArthur forthright in the pulpit and yet gracious in person and why he was considered the last line of defense for the false teaching and compromising that always plagues the church.

In the final segment, we’ll hear an audio clip of when John MacArthur last appeared on this program and a few of the things for which he will long be remembered.

GUEST: Travis Allen, pastor and former managing director, Grace to You

On Monday, July 14, 2025 at 6:17 PM in Southern California, the soul and spirit of one of the great preachers left his deceased earthly body, ascending into heaven to meet the God he so faithfully served and proclaimed. His name was John MacArthur.

Only a small fraction of the world would recognize the immense spiritual impact that MacArthur had on millions around the globe—growing believers deeper in their faith and urging non-believers to repent and believe in Christ—through his preaching, books, seminary, university, radio program, and much more.

Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.”

MacArthur was a godly one and oh-to-see him meet the Christ he boldly preached. “Well done, good and faithful slave” would have been his Master’s words.

Today on the program, Travis Allen, pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO and one who graduated from the seminary MacArthur led, taught at the church where MacArthur pastored, and led the radio ministry Grace to You that features MacArthur’s preaching, joins us to remember and respect the life and ministry of the elder statesman of the faith.

The aim is not to deify John MacArthur. He wouldn’t want that and would be the first to say he’s a sinner saved by God’s grace. Rather, we will examine and learn from the life of a man who trusted in Christ as Savior, obeyed Him as Lord, held His Word as the highest authority, diligently mined and preached its truths, and loved and shepherded the flock God entrusted to him for 56 years.

GUEST: M.D. Perkins, director, Culture Warrior documentary

A culture warrior is one who works to change the prevailing perspectives and practices that characterize a society.

Christians are often demeaned as culture warriors for their work opposing abortion, pornography, homosexual “marriage”, the transgender movement, and more. And yet what is rarely mentioned is that there were and are culture warriors on the other side who worked to push all this sin on our nation, one founded on Christian principles in order to “fundamentally transform the United States of America” (Barack Obama).

MD Perkins, the director of the new documentary film, Culture Warrior, joins us to discuss the call Christians have to be salt and light in our society in light of the example of Don Wildmon, founder of American Family Association and a Christian culture warrior who boldly persevered in pushing back for decades against the onslaught of godlessness in the media and broader society.

We’ll tell you how you can watch this compelling and inspiring documentary today during the program.

A nation and world altering event took place on July 4, 1776 in Philadelphia when 56 representatives of 13 British colonies signed the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain.

The Declaration is America’s original founding document and is “the most consequential enumeration of the fundamental and unalienable Rights of Mankind as irrevocably endowed by our Creator.”

Today in a special Independence Day program, we’re going to commemorate this bold act that altered our nation from being yet another British colony under the King and Church of England. Instead, America became a Constitutional Republic that separates power from the dictates of one king into branches of government and elected representatives of the people. We will examine what led to the Declaration of Independence and the impact it made on America, even to this day.

The Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33). While this specifically refers to Israel, there is general blessing for any nation that reveres and obeys God. God has greatly blessed America. The question going forward as we increasingly rebel against Him is: Will America repent and honor God?

GUEST: SOEREN KERN, Geopolitical Analyst and Managing Editor, The Christian Worldview Journal

We at The Christian Worldview took two weeks off from producing new programs due to all the preparation required for The Overcomer Course for Young Adults which took place last weekend (more on that later in today’s program), but God didn’t take two weeks off from advancing His plans for the end times and the return of His Son.

As The Overcomer Course concluded on Saturday evening, June 21, we watched with the rest of the world as U.S. B2 long-range bombers executed massive strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities, where they have been attempting to produce nuclear weapons and fulfill their open threats of “Death to Israel and Death to America!”

After 12 days of Israeli strikes in Iran culminating with American bunker-busting bombs, Iran apparently got the message and a cease fire has ensued. The power structure in the Middle East has changed in a very short time, with Iran and its proxies weakened and Israel empowered.

Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal joins us today to give perspective on these momentous events and how they may relate to God’s end times plan.
