There’s never been a period in the history of America where The State has more forcefully tried to pulverize The People’s ability to pray, worship, and gather. Bureaucrats, craven and drunk on power at the same time, used Covid as an excuse to step up their effort to isolate us from each other and from God. But Americans of faith have fought back and are winning on many fronts, using the US Constitution as both a sword and a shield. In this special, Mike & panel look back in time, to reveal what Thomas Jefferson wrote about the limits of government and liberties of citizens, when it comes to religion. How is history continuing to inform cases today? And how can history help the faithful keep the faith?
What exactly is Federal Reserve? Whose idea was a central bank, one that reports to no one, and drives the American economy? Mike Slater & expert panel of guests take a tour through history, up to the present, to help explain its purpose. Is it a stabilizing force or an artificial and dangerous manipulator of markets? Lately it sure seems that the Fed has made some epic miscalculations. Will Chairman Jerome Powell help the country claw itself out of economic doom, or will it get worse before it gets better…if it ever gets better?!
