There is the perception that Catholicism in Europe is passé. Record-low church attendance is just one sign of Europe’s shift toward progressivism and secularism. But the recent nomination in France of François Fillon, a staunch Catholic, shows Catholicism in Europe is not dead. In fact, as guest host Brad Macdonald explains on today’s program, Europe may be about to experience a Catholic renaissance.

On today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show, Stephen Flurry covers a range of topics, including Fidel Castro’s funeral hearse breaking down, the failure of the criminal justice system in Washington D.C., the anniversary of Mozart’s death, and a musical treat from Puccini’s famous opera Tosca.

Due to the election of Donald Trump in the United States, Europe is beginning to view itself as the last defender of Western values. If Europe is going to step up as the protector of Western ideals, then it’s going to need a united military. Talk is turning into concrete action as Europe’s leaders continue to push ahead with the goal of forming the world’s newest superpower. Bible prophecy says that Germany will be at the helm of this rising power. Listen to Stephen Flurry discuss this on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Since the victory of World War ii, the United States has been involved in numerous military campaigns around the globe—from Korea to Vietnam to Iraq. But in every theater America has fought in since the last world war, it has failed to achieve its overall objective. The United States has the most powerful military in history—and yet, the losses keep piling up. Why? Bible prophecy has the answer. Listen to Stephen Flurry discuss this and more on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump harshly criticized America’s war against terrorism, even saying the United States generals leading the war effort “haven’t done the job.” In an article for Real Clear World, titled “The Swamp of War,” Andrew Bacevich wrote that Mr. Trump may be on to something. Why aren’t America’s generals winning these battles? Stephen Flurry discusses what Bible prophecy says about America’s military losses on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

As recently as the 1950s, Great Britain was the leading exporter of automobiles. At the center of the automobile boom was the city of Coventry—known as Britain’s “Motor City.” But now, Coventry, like Detroit in the United States, is a shell of its former self. The massive industrial output of this city was the product of a promise made to the ancient patriarch Abraham. Now those blessings are disappearing. Why? Find out on today’s Trumpet Daily Radio Show.

Since the death of Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro, Western leaders have showered his tyrannical rule with praise. Despite his horrific human rights record, the liberal left has honored him; the prime minister of Canada even called him a “remarkable leader.” Perhaps just as troubling is that more conservative leaders haven’t spoken out about Castro’s atrocious track record as dictator. Why is the West silent about the evils and failures of Cuba’s Communist regime? Herbert W. Armstrong warned in the 1960s about the infiltration of communism in America and Britain. On today’s show, Stephen Flurry discusses how the West’s praise of Fidel Castro is an example of how the Communist ideology has infiltrated America and Britain.

The world is becoming increasingly dangerous according to a former NATO deputy commander who has written a book warning of the real danger of nuclear war. Trumpet staff writer Richard Palmer examines how Britain and America are responding to this reality. In order to cut costs, Britain has made its navy less effective than the ships it operated in the 19th century. Meanwhile, American President-elect Donald Trump has promised to reverse America’s painful spending cuts—which have left the American Navy smaller than any point since 1916. But will this save America?

President Elect Mr. Donald Trump gave a short thanksgiving message to Americans calling for unity in a divided land. 150 years earlier, President Abraham Lincoln, in facing the American Civil War, made quite a different request of the nation's citizens. On today’s program Trumpet contributor Brent Nagtegaal looks back at other thanksgiving messages from two previous presidents who realized the key to national unity.

After 1800, the United States and Britain became the mightiest two powers in world history. Where did all of their strength and prosperity come from? And why is it so rapidly fading away? Bible prophecy explains the source of America’s and Britain’s great power, and it also warns that those blessings will be taken away if the people reject God’s law. On today’s program, Stephen Flurry explores these critical prophecies.
