In this special edition of Politics by Faith, Mike Slater sits down with Andrew Kolvet of the Charlie Kirk Show and Brilyn Hollyhand, author of Make America Talk Again, one year after the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. Together they reflect on Charlie’s enduring legacy of bold faith, courage, and cultural engagement, sharing personal memories and examining how his life and death continue to inspire a new generation of believers. The conversation offers a poignant look at grief, hope, and the ongoing mission to advance truth and revival in America.

President Trump and the Republicans are looking to do something that's never been done before in November. To increase morale and get the team focused, they're hosting the first ever midterm convention. This is a great chance to talk about policy and celebrate the political successes of the last 2 years, but it's also a chance to do the most important thing. Will they take it?

Can you believe it's been 25 years since September 11, 2001. And now the Governor of NY wears a hijab and says "Allah willing" and the mayor of NYC is a Muslim from Uganda. There are many lessons from September 11. We seem to have forgotten most of them. I believe this is one of the most important lessons.

I assumed the 11 were for charging her with murder, but it turns out there was only 1 hero holding out (I can't wait to hear from him). How could this be? What's happening in Massachusetts that this was the jury pool? Well, there's nothing new under the sun. This has happened before, and it can get much worse.

In this episode of Politics by Faith, we examine how Scripture has shaped—and been shaped by—debates over war throughout history. From just-war theory to calls for peace, we explore the enduring tension between faith, power, and the sword. Mike is joined by Mike Baker of the President's Daily Brief in part one of two to discuss.

JD Vance was asked, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much confidence he has that he's going to heaven. How would you answer that question? The Bible is clear about what your answer should be.

Why are we unwilling to describe things or people as "evil"? We're so quick to go to brain chemistry or hormones or one's childhood to explain evil behavior, and it may be part of it, but evil also, exists in our world. If we don't acknowledge it, we'll only have more of it.
