The Shocking Fact That Exposes How Weak Putin’s Army Really Is

Mike Baker speaks with Seth Jones of the Center for Strategic and International Studies about a startling historical comparison that puts Russia’s war in Ukraine into sharp perspective. Jones notes that at the same point in time during World War Two, the Soviet Union had already reached Berlin—highlighting just how limited Russia’s battlefield gains have been today, and how much weaker Vladimir Putin’s modern military appears by comparison.

Politics By Faith: The Judgment System

Politics By Faith: The Judgment System

Mike Slater examines the stark contrast between worldly justice systems—often flawed by human bias, political agendas, and incomplete accountability—and God’s perfect, eternal judgment that weighs the heart and ultimate truth. Drawing from biblical principles and current events, the discussion highlights how earthly courts and policies can fail to deliver true righteousness, leaving believers anxious amid injustice, while divine judgment promises impartiality, mercy for the repentant, and accountability for all. Listeners are encouraged to find peace not in relying on fallible human institutions, but in trusting God’s sovereign authority over every ruler, law, and outcome.
