The Wrong Side of History Sep 20, 2017

Show notes

On September 25, the Kurds of Iraqi Kurdistan will have a referendum on whether Iraqi Kurdistan needs to break from the rest of Iraq. Stephen believes it will pass with 80 to 90% support. Yet the United States is doing everything it can to fight this independence movement. Why is the U.S. opposing a people group 35 million strong? A group that’s a century overdue for independence, loyal allies to the United States, pro-democratic, pro-Israel, and pro-Western? In this fiery podcast, Stephen addresses the failures of the current and former U.S. administrations with regards to the Kurds, and shares his policy recommendations. Photo by: Spc.

Prophetic Distance Sep 13, 2017

Show notes

There is a long tradition of religion influencing politics in American history. It is largely to be welcomed. Yet in the recent presidential election, some religious leaders were so full-throated in endorsing Donald Trump that they nearly became part of his PR staff. There is a better, more noble, even holier way to go. In this podcast, Stephen describes the virtues of maintaining prophetic distance as an antidote to the excesses of the recent U.S. presidential election.

The Shadow Cabinet Sep 06, 2017

Show notes

When Republicans took the House, the Senate and the White House in the recent presidential election, they should have been ready to lead on the first day in office. Instead, infighting and lack of preparation led to embarrassing defeats. Hoping for a better day, Stephen recommends the British Shadow Cabinet approach for parties out of power and for those intending to run for office. This podcast is a must for aspiring politicians, in particular.

Our Crises: Don’t Freakout! Aug 30, 2017

Show notes

The news in our day might lead us to conclude we are living in the worst of all possible times and, for some of us, in the worst of all possible countries—the United States. It isn’t true. As Stephen explains, the current rise of white supremacist thinking is the death rattle of a lie believed mainly by young white misfits. Don’t freakout! Remember who we are, where we are heading, and who you are meant to be. Stephen brings it all together in this searing, encouraging podcast.

Racism: Christian and Conservative? Aug 23, 2017

Show notes

During the recent race riots in Charlottesville and Boston, white supremacists repeatedly described themselves as “Christian” and “Conservative.” As Stephen contends in this podcast, nothing could be further from white supremacist philosophy than true Christianity and true Conservatism. Since Stephen considers himself both a Christian and a Conservative, he pushes back against racists kidnapping these two terms for themselves and shows how these world views are actually the opposite of what the KKK and similar demonstrators have claimed.

The Tragedy of Silent Churches Aug 16, 2017

Show notes

This week, in light of the racial violence and conflict seen in Charlottesville and throughout the U.S., we are reposting Part One of a two-part podcast, The Tragedy of Silent Churches. Part Two of this podcast is available here. The Christian Church was put on earth to both proclaim a message and to model life in another world, both to call for the transformation of the human heart and to call society to align with the righteousness and love of God. Rarely do churches today skillfully straddle these twin rails of faith. In fact, many churches today are chillingly silent on social issues and this is becoming a stain on the cause of Christ in our generation. It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who said, “In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” In this stirring podcast, Stephen Mansfield wonders aloud whether the oppressed and downtrodden of our generation will not be able to say the same of too many modern churches, particularly theologically conservative modern churches. Will the silence of these churches on pressing social issues be remembered for generations, far beyond the noise of the violence, hatred and racism rending our age?

Donald Trump and Me Aug 09, 2017

Show notes

Though Stephen has offered close commentary about the recent presidential election and the early presidency of Donald Trump, many of his listeners have asked for a more personal view. How did he vote? What does he think of Trump’s first months? How does he relate to the current climate of Washington, DC, where he lives and works for change? In this hard-hitting, very personal declaration, Stephen explains how he sees it and how he works for change. Don’t miss this one!

A Tribute to the Queen Aug 02, 2017

Show notes

She will not always be with us, and when she goes it will be a loss. She has reigned as Queen of England for sixty years and has done so with character, with an unshakeable sense of duty, and with an uncompromising Christian witness. In this podcast, Stephen extols the virtues of Elizabeth II and commends those virtues to the misbehaving American politicians of the Trump era.

The Economic Correction Jul 26, 2017

Show notes

When Donald Trump was elected president, the American business community rejoiced. He was one of the most pro-business, pro-growth, pro-jobs candidates in recent memory. Now, six months later, the economy has undergone a correction and a bigger economic correction or pullback looms. Stephen explains what this might mean for you and how to prepare.
