#242: The Road to Hiroshima Was Paved by the Japanese Killing Machine
Many today view Japan as a victim in World War ii. United States President Barack Obama’s visit to Hiroshima, the first sitting U.S. president to do so, has helped promote this image. An objective look at history, however, reveals that Japan was no innocent victim. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry explains why the bombing of Hiroshima was necessary to end World War ii.
#241: Japanese PM Wholeheartedly Welcomes President Obama’s Visit to Hiroshima
United States President Barack Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima in what is being viewed by many as another stop on the president's “apology tour.” Just over seven decades after Japan tried to destroy the United States, America’s leaders are apologizing for dropping the bomb—a decision that ended a brutal war and actually saved lives.

Listen to today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show to find out.
#240: The Human Spirit Is Lonesome Without God’s Spirit
The mind of man can understand material knowledge that an animal cannot. Human beings are capable of building incredible wonders, appreciating music, and a host of other things the animal brain is totally incapable of doing. Though the human mind was created far superior to that of the animal mind—it is still incomplete when it comes to understanding spiritual things. Every human being has a desire to fill this void in his or her life. Most try to fill it with entertainment or other material pursuits. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains what is needed to fill the void.

#237: Graduates—Don’t Discard Time-Tested Values Because They Are Old
As the academic year comes to a close, a new wave of graduates will leave college engrained with the idea that they must abandon the time-tested values of the past and pave a new way for themselves. Many have graduated without ever having to take a single course in history. Winston Churchill famously stated, “The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.” What will America’s future look like if its people have no knowledge of its past? On today’s show, Stephen Flurry encourages this year’s graduates to learn from past examples, to build character as they did, and to embrace the challenges that lie ahead.

Each week, it seems, we learn about another celebrity overdosing, committing suicide, or sinking into dysfunction. These people have tremendous wealth, fame, power and influence, yet so many are miserable and dysfunctional. Meanwhile, society tells us, especially our children and teenagers, that the celebrity lifestyle of wealth, fame and power is one of happiness and stability, something to aspire to.
