Many people believe they are religious, but few actually take the time to learn what it is that makes one a Christian. A recent study found that while many Americans are fond of the Bible, few of them actually study it. It’s the same with prayer. One Christian website recently “challenged” its followers to pray 4 minutes each day for four weeks! What does God have to say about Bible study and prayer? Listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show to understand what it really means to put God first in our lives.

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised that, if elected, he would reverse the decay of the United States military. After just three months in office, President Trump’s administration is realizing this is a task easier said than done. U.S. military equipment has been decaying over the past three decades, and it is falling behind in technical capabilities to nations like Russia and China. Simply undoing Barack Obama’s military budget cuts alone is likely to be an insurmountable task. Is the U.S. military beyond repair? On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show we examine how America’s military got to this point and why Bible prophecy says it’s not going to be fixed.

The United States was the leading food producer of the world for decades. Just 30 years ago, American soybean exports made up 70 percent of the world’s supply. That number has fallen to 40 percent, putting the U.S. behind Brazil. It’s the same with wheat and corn, where Russia has been increasing its output substantially while America’s continues to dwindle. Bible prophecy explains why America is losing its status as the world’s greatest food producer. To find out why, listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

An Islamist terrorist armed with a Kalashnikov rifle opened fire yesterday on one of Paris’s busiest streets. He killed a police officer and wounded two others. With French presidential elections just days away, we examine how this latest attack will impact the election and what it means in broader terms for the future of the European Union.

Earlier this month, the New York Times ran an exposé on Fox News host Bill O’Reilly’s alleged history of sexual harassment. The article resurrected settled disputes and ran unverified information. This week, 21st Century Fox dismissed O’Reilly over the controversy. While we don’t know all the facts about what happened at Fox, it’s safe to say the New York Times effectively helped bring O’Reilly down. A couple weeks after launching the assault on O’Reilly, the New York Times casually posted an op-ed from Marwan Barghouti. According the Times’s byline, Barghouti is “a Palestinian leader and parliamentarian.” It failed to mention he is a convicted terrorist who is imprisoned on five counts of murder, and has orchestrated the killings of hundreds of Israelis. On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, we discuss how the New York Times fiasco is another symptom of a backward and biased media.

On the campaign trail, Donald Trump called the Iran nuclear deal disastrous and catastrophic. He said one of his top priorities if he became president would be to dismantle the agreement. This week, however, his administration was happy to announce that Iran was complying with the terms of the agreement. President Trump’s administration has come out strong against North Korea and Syria, but hasn’t moved beyond pinprick sanctions when it comes to confronting Iran. On today’s program we discuss why Iran is the rogue state we should be concerned about the most.

Turks voted to change their country’s constitution on Sunday, according to official election results. The vote is described as the death of Turkish democracy and the end of Turkey’s period as a secular state. What is behind these massive changes in Turkey? And where are they leading? Turkey sits at the crossroads of the world; events there have a profound impact on the Middle East, Asia and Europe. Trumpet contributing editor Richard Palmer examines what the future holds for Turkey—and how it will affect you.

Last week, America dropped the “Mother of All Bombs” on Islamic State targets in Afghanistan. The week before, 59 cruise missiles struck a Syrian airstrip belonging to Bashar Assad. While these plot a different course for the United States compared with eight years of inaction, are they a sign that America is back? Charles Krauthammer thinks so. As does Mark Styn. On today’s program, Middle East correspondent Brent Nagtegaal analyzes the recent actions in light of the question, “Is America back?”

Should United Airlines have forcibly “re-accommodated” David Dao to another flight? This episode was not an isolated incident and it says a lot about how America is changing. Guest presenter Robert Morley argues that what happened on Sunday is impacting the whole country. However, there is an easy solution—even if many people disagree with it.

Events in Syria and North Korea have led many, over the past few days, to Google “World War III.” Many people see what is happening and are worried that World War III is beginning. This is a legitimate fear. In today’s program, guest presenter Brad Macdonald provides a summary of the events Bible prophecy says will trigger World War III.
