UFOs, aliens and the Bible are compatible beliefs
Play in Edifi Player
Can Christians believe in UFOs and so-called aliens and still be Christian? Yes, said Derrick Warfel, author of “UFOs and GOD,” and creator of a documentary of the same name. The devil is in the details, so to speak, and of tantamount importance, he said, is to realize that these supposed aliens are actually demonic — they're part and parcel of the descriptions of the supernatural within the Bible.
Government is not science, and neither is Fauci
Play in Edifi Player
If there's one lesson to learn from the whole Covid tyranny years in America, it's that government is not science and should never again be allowed to dictate how individuals deal with medical issues, including pandemics. Unfortunately, Congress has given Big Pharma and their partners some powerful tools to push shots and medical treatments into the public sector without properly testing them for safety and efficacy — and without having to face consequences for adverse impacts. Mary Holland, …
Democrats are still TDS-Strong
Play in Edifi Player
President Donald Trump may be one of the most effective leaders in combating the peril of socialism and communism and all the anti-American political and cultural rot the Democrat Party has brought in recent years. But don't expect those on the left to see it — or acknowledge it in any way. They're too busy flailing in the streets. Todd Starnes discusses the "golden age" of Trump, and his own personal confrontation with the TDS nuts.
America's communist problem
Play in Edifi Player
America has moved rapidly from middle-of-the-road politics to a place of far- leftist infiltration, where the Democrats have let progressives, socialists and even communists take root in their party and spread their rot through government. And it's at the point where culture, education and the economy are all facing the same communist jolt. As the U.S. State Department releases its report on Cuba's infiltration of America, Michael Lucci, CEO of State Armor, has new information on how China's …
The Judeo-Christian worldview is what matters most
Play in Edifi Player
When it comes to protecting the future of American Exceptionalism, it's the Judeo-Christian worldview that matters most. That's because without God, there can be no God-given rights and liberties. Remove God, and all that's left is government-granted — and remember, what government grants it can also take away. Troy Miller, CEO of NRB, talks about the importance of the Judeo- Christian worldview and the battle that's confronting America right now.
Saving SAVE, saving America from socialism
Play in Edifi Player
Sen. Lindsey Graham was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump's SAVE Act, and the fate of the election integrity bill, since his untimely death, hangs in the balance — or does it? As Martha Jenkins, president of the National Federation of Republican Women, points out, the late senator's South Carolina seat isn't likely to change political parties. Jenkins discusses SAVE, Graham and other political news of the day.

Play in Edifi Player
When it comes to President Donald Trump's foreign policy, Democrats largely disagree with anything and everything he does, while Republicans generally stand in solidarity with him. But that's because Democrats for the most part detest America.

J.K. Rowling's inspiring story
Play in Edifi Player
J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, has led a life of ups and downs and on way to becoming one of the world's best-selling authors, has overcome much adversity. She's also a complex woman — as complex as the characters she's developed in her much-beloved books. Even her faith and love for Jesus has not come without controversy. Solomon Schmidt, author of "A Pen to Change the World," dove deep into her background.
Wealth-building with God
Play in Edifi Player
Too many Christians have the wrong idea about money, and see the concept of wealth-building as automatically evil. But pursuing financial stability and prosperity isn't in itself an evil. Money only becomes problematic when its pursuit gets in the way of worship of God. John Coleman, author of "Good Money," tells how to build a life of financial purpose.
Tax cuts are great, but debt reduction's better
Play in Edifi Player
This White House has shown itself to be a champion of tax cuts, with estimates showing Americans are receiving refunds on several thousand dollars, on average. But as fiscal expert Dr. Anne Bradley warns, tax cuts without longer term reductions in government spending in essence stagnate growth and erase the returns to citizens. Tax cuts alone can't solve the national debt crisis.
China's shop of influence and horror
Play in Edifi Player
The Chinese communist influence in America has taken an even deeper turn, and now the CCP is using the IRS to spread its rot. Nonprofits have become a go-to for the CCP, and it's become so problematic, even Congress is holding hearings. But that's nothing compared to the evil Jan Jekielek has uncovered about the CCP in his new book,"Killed to Order," about organ harvesting.
The power of today's media
Play in Edifi Player
Today's media in all its many forms is probably the most powerful and influential it has ever been. But with great power comes great responsibility — and it's questionable whether today's media members recognize that there's a moral imperative for them to report the truth, and in instances where errors are made, to correct those mistakes. More than that, too many in today's news outlets are in it for the wrong reasons. Newsmax host Marc Lotter weighs in on the state of today's media.
Remembering Antonin Scalia
Play in Edifi Player
Americans' views of the U.S. Supreme Court may be divisive, with Democrats seeing the justices as too conservative and Republicans seeing the court as too unpredictable. But consensus is that the now-deceased Justice Antonin Scalia is one of the most influential figures to have served on the court in years — in decades. Chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax, James Rosen, has a new book, "Scalia: Supreme Court Years," that tells us why.
