  • Secular Billionaires and the Buying Off of Evangelicals: Megan Basham's 'Shepherds For Sale'

    Secular Billionaires and the Buying Off of Evangelicals: Megan Basham's 'Shepherds For Sale'
    Oct 20 2024
    Have you ever wondered why so many Evangelicals are starting to drift to the left? There's a good reason. Daily Wire journalist Megan Basham's new book uncovers the infiltration of conservative Evangelical churches by far-left billionaires like George Soros and Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. Since around 2013 there's been a concerted effort to essentially buy off pastors through opportunities or large amounts of funding if they support left-leaning causes like climate change and abortion. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Basham talks about the research for her book, "Shepherds For Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda." Back in 2013 the likes of Soros and others saw religious voters as the one huge impediment to advancing their vision of America. Organizations like Soros' "Open Society Foundation" learned how to use the language of faith in order to lure pastors and their congregations to look more favorably toward a wide range of issues from the environment to gender ideology. Basham says, "They talked about how they could harness the power of high-profile Evangelical leaders in the hopes of influencing the rank and file in the pews." Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Historian William Federer and the Truth of Christopher Columbus and His Faith

    Historian William Federer and the Truth of Christopher Columbus and His Faith
    Oct 13 2024
    The grade school rhyme about Christopher Columbus will not suffice in today's Woke world, "Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 14-hundred and 92." That's what Columbus Day, a national holiday, commemorates, the Italian explorer's founding of the Americas. Some municipalities have changed the title to "Indigenous Peoples Day", to honor the natives Columbus encountered, or conquered, or displaced... depending on which history class you take. But Columbus's intent, though, was to find a new Western trade route to Asia, since Turkey, conquered by the forces of Islamic Jihad, cut off the Eastern passages. Columbus, in his underestimating the circumference of the earth, may have stumbled onto the New World, but does that make him unworthy of accolades? And does it mean he was motivated by greed instead of the Gospel? No, says historian William Federer. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Federer, an author and national speaker, gives a veritable graduate school class on the centuries of history that leads up to Columbus's journey across the Atlantic, his spiritual motivation for lobbying the Queen of Spain to sponsor him, and the subsequent effects of what has happened in the centuries since, as even those who've benefited from the establishment of the United States of America have forgotten its roots. Columbus may have had no idea that a vast swath of land, another continent lay in his path to Asia; in fact, till his death he thought he had found a shorter, western trade route. But there was no mistaking that his faith in a God, who moves mountains and calms the raging seas, was real. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Coach Joe Kennedy and Actor Eric Close on the Film "Average Joe"

    Coach Joe Kennedy and Actor Eric Close on the Film "Average Joe"
    Oct 6 2024
    Scripture says, "The battle belongs to the Lord", (1 Samuel 17:47). Coach Joe Kennedy can attest to that. His whole life of trials and frustrations, anger and pain, were preparing him for a battle over the right to pray on a football field. Kennedy is famous for winning a Supreme Court case in 2022, after being fired for praying on the 50 yard line after every game, as he promised God he would do, win or lose. Now a major motion picture will be released about his life and court battle. Actor Eric Close (Nashville, Suits, American Sniper), portrays Kennedy in the film. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Kennedy and Close talk about making the film, and how they worked together in understanding Joe's journey from being a forgotten child, tossed between homes and growing up angry, to becoming a Marine, marriage, and then to a high school football coach. All the while, says Kennedy, God's hand was there. He says, "I didn't see until later in life that God had his fingerprints all the way from when I was in the womb, and all those trials and tribulations I went through. I didn't see how they fit all the puzzle pieces into the bigger picture, and it prepared me for the Marine Corps, prepared me for this battle." Learn more about your ad choices.
