#307: The Father Effect
Fatherlessness is one of the greatest crises facing the United States today. It is responsible for a host of problems from criminal behavior to poverty. Fatherlessness is weakening the nation. On today’s show, we examine the reverse of this trend—how strong fathers, who play the central role in their families, are the key to developing a strong nation.
#306: Enabling the King of the South—Why Barack Obama Never Wanted Regime Change in Iran
In 2009, hundreds of thousands of Iranians protested against their nation’s government over a rigged presidential election. It was a golden opportunity for the newly elected President Barack Obama to denounce the anti-American leadership in Iran and promote a regime change. However, President Obama didn’t just ignore the crisis in Iran, he trusted the government of Iran to handle it and told members of his administration to stop backing leaders of the protests. Why didn’t the president intervene in Iran, like he did years later in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#305: The January 16 Warning, Plus One Forgotten Characteristic of a Loving God
This week, the United States State Department issued a travel advisory for Americans traveling to Iran, warning that Americans could potentially become hostages. Why would a radical Islamist regime like Iran take American hostages? The U.S., after all, doesn’t pay ransom for hostages. Or does it? This and much more on today’s show.
#304: The Times of the Gentiles and the Father’s Indispensable Role in the Home
America’s enemies are looking beyond their differences and uniting in an effort to humiliate and diminish the United States. Russia, China and Iran, countries that have not gotten along historically, are beginning to work closer together. Bret Stephens wrote about these budding alliances in an article titled “The New Dictators’ Club.” On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses how this is leading to a time period in Bible prophecy known as the “times of the gentiles.”
Also on today’s show, the critical role fathers play in the home and how it can strengthen a nation.
#303: Russia’s Rise, the Ayatollah’s Big Victory and China’s First Military Outpost
After Sept. 11, 2001, Western leaders told people to go about their daily lives or else “the terrorists would win.” Fifteen years later, the advice is that we must now learn to live with terrorism. Nations like France and Germany are responding to the threat of potentially large attacks by canceling large events and encouraging citizens to stockpile food. George Friedman recently wrote, “[T]he whole point of terrorism is to take the population to the point where fear is the only rational response.” The terrorists have continued to push, and now they are clearly winning. Listen to Stephen Flurry discuss more on this topic on today’s show.
#302: More Administration Lies Exposed About the Iran Hostage Crisis; Plus, How to Become More Cultured
Since the beginning of this year, the Obama administration has said that the transfer of $400 million to Iran and the return of United States prisoners in Iran on the same day were unrelated issues. President Barack Obama and his staff stressed that the U.S. does not pay ransom. He even said the idea that it was a ransom was “the manufacturing of outrage” by those opposed to the administration. This week, however, the U.S. State Department admitted the two actions were related and that it was—though still refusing to call it as such—a ransom. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry digs into the latest on this event and also continues the discussion from the previous show on how to develop as a cultured individual.
#301: Become You Therefore Cultured!
God created the beauty that we see around this world. And He created the five senses through which He wants us to receive enjoyment and pleasure to the fullest, but only in accordance with His law. How should we use our senses to become a truly cultured individual the way God wants us to be? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.
#300: Floods, Fires and the Beginning of Sorrows
Massive forest fires are devastating areas of the United States, while other areas are experiencing record flooding. What is the cause of this disastrous weather? Some blame it on weather patterns, others on climate change. But the Bible forecast thousands of years in advance that nations would experience natural disasters as a result of another, more important factor. “[A]nd I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered,” the Prophet Amos wrote (Amos 4:7). On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explains why these destructive natural disasters are occurring with more frequency.

#298: Race Riots in Milwaukee and President Obama’s Audacious Pursuit of Extra-Constitutional Powers
The shooting of an armed black man by a black police office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, over the weekend sparked violent protests across the city. Many attacks were aimed directly at white people even though the shooting couldn’t possibly have had a racist motive. The protests show the growing racial divide in the United States. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry talks about the latest incident in Milwaukee and how President Barack Obama’s policies are helping fuel these problems.
