Show Title: "Instilling a Christian Worldview in Young People"
Air Date: April 28, 2011
Host: Jim Schneider
Guests: Dr. Jeff Myers
Show Audio
Dr. Jeff Myers is current chairman of the board of Summit Ministries, and current president of Passing the Baton International. In the last 20 years Dr. Myers has become one of America’s most respected authorities on youth leadership development and will be the new president upon the retirement of Summit’s founder, Dr. David Noebel.
According to Dr. Myers, 4 out of 5 young people who are significantly involved in church in their teen years are no longer involved in any way by the time they reach their mid-20’s. Why is this happening and what causes that fifth young person to remain in the faith?
For nearly 50 years, Summit Ministries has been working to reverse this kind of erosion of faith as they train young people to understand the Christian worldview and apply it to their lives. Dr. Myers shares the importance of this in light of the current moral, spiritual and political downslide of America.
Dr. Myers presented a $50 scholarship offer to those youth interested in attending one of two upcoming Summit conferences. There is a Tennessee conference slated for Bryan University on July 10th-22nd and a Wisconsin conference in Green Lake scheduled for August 7th-19th. To obtain a scholarship form, communicate with Summit Ministries via the e-mail address below.

The First Amendment and Porn in Libraries
Date: April 27, 2011
Host: Vic Eliason
Guests: Patrick Trueman
Show Audio
Patrick Trueman is the CEO of Morality in Media, the oldest and one of the most effective organizations fighting the problem of pornography. He is also the former Chief of the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Criminal Division, U.S. Dept. of Justice.
The New York Post reported Monday that New Yorkers can watch Internet porn at the city’s 200-plus branch libraries thanks to a free speech policy protected by the First Amendment. The library is making this claim in spite of the fact that by law, libraries that accept federal funding must have blocking or filtering measures in place.
Trueman contradicts the claim by the American Library Association and others that these libraries have to allow porn because of the First Amendment. He also exposes the poor performance record of various White House administrations in not enforcing obscenity laws and tells listeners how they can make a difference through contacting the U.S. Attorney
General’s office.

Wellness - A Trojan Horse in Health Care
Date: April 26, 2011
Host: Ingrid Schlueter
Guests: Marcia Montenegro & Christine Pack
Show Audio
Marcia Montenegro edits the website, Christian Answers for the New Age, and works with Fellowship International Mission in Allentown, PA, which works to assist local churches to fulfill their missionary vision, and to assist missionaries to fulfill their call.
Christine Pack was a New Age Massage Therapist, but she and her sister now host the Sola Sisters Blog, which publishes articles and links to other resources
Both of the guests were involved in the New Age, but left it as they became believers in Jesus Christ.
Healing Techniques that come from Eastern Mysticism have emerged from being little-known, fringe alternatives to traditional health care, have now moved into the mainstream Today these are becoming common, even in some long-standing, traditional clinics, and some doctors are prescribing that these techniques be used on their patients.
Acupuncture--based on "Chi" which believes in invisible channels through which flow invisible energy, and thie idea of acupuncture is to open up these channels, which have no relationship to the physiology of the body itself.
Yoga--many forms, but all come out of Hinduism. The positions are prayer positions, and the mantras are the names of Hindu gods. Nevertheless, now Yoga has been embraced by some Christians who believe that they can replace the eastern religious implications with Christian ones.
Also discussed were such terms as "tapping", "attitudinal healing", "Reiki", "Reflexology", "praise moves", "breahwork", "Cranial Sacral", "Rolphing", and "myofascial release, among others.

Project Gunrunners: ATF Trafficking Weapons?
Date: April 25, 2011 • Host: Jim Schneider • Guest: Larry Pratt
Show Audio
Larry Pratt has been Executive Director of Gun Owners of America for 30 years. GOA is a national membership organization of 300,000 Americans dedicated to promoting the second amendment freedom to keep and bear arms as they work to provide legal assistance to those involved in lawsuits with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
This Crosstalk looks at Project Gunrunners, a program that appears to have resulted in firearms that ended up in the hands of Mexicans with the hope that crimes would be committed with them. These firearms would be traceable back to America which would give authorities reason to clamp down on firearm sales here in the U.S.
Is the ATF really involved in trafficking weapons to the Mexican criminal element? Is there any connection between this project and an international gun-ban treaty being pushed by the Obama administration? You decide when you review this edition of Crosstalk.

Knowing the True Christ in an Age of Counterfeits
Date: April 21, 2011 • Host: Ingrid Schlueter • Guest: Warren Smith
Show Audio
Warren Smith (B.A. University of Pennsylvania; M.S.W. Tulane University) is a free lance writer and community social worker who was formerly involved in the New Age movement. He has served as a program coordinator for people with special needs, directed several homeless programs, and has worked most recently as a Hospice social worker in New Orleans and on the California coast. He has written extensively on the subject of spiritual deception and has been widely interviewed on radio and television. He is author of The Light that was Dark, Deceived on Purpose, A Wonderful Deception and False Christ Coming: Does Anybody Care?
Having been saved out of the New Age movement, Warren Smith knows that there are many "christs" in the world today. As we are about to observe Good Friday and the resurrection of Christ, Warren underscores the importance of knowing the true and risen Christ, not a counterfeit.
The discussion begins with mention of Shirley McClain. She may not have been taken seriously years ago because of her New Age beliefs yet she was recently on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Why? It’s because some New Age teachings are no longer considered “fringe” but are now mainstream. Smith proves the point when he references Purpose-Driven author Rick Warren who has brought in three New Age doctors into his church through his “Daniel Plan”.
From there the discussion moves on to Marianne Williamson and her deceptive book, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, the deceptive use of Bible terminology by New Age proponents, the experience that pointed him to Christ, the ties that the Emergentmovement has with the New Age, and more.
Also mentioned was Chuck Klein's Understanding the Times conference on April 30th in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Pastor Larry Debruyn, Sarah Leslie and Warren Smith will be speaking on counterfeit spirituality.

40 Irrefutable Signs of the Last Generation
Date: April 19, 2011 • Host: Vic Eliason • Guest: Usama Dakdok
Show Audio
Dr. Noah Hutchings is president of Southwest Radio Ministry in Oklahoma City. He has written more than 100 books and booklets covering many Bible related themes. He has traveled to many places around the world in his lifetime and his 40 trips to Israel and the Middle East helps to make him uniquely qualified to speak on the issue of signs related to last-days events.
While Dr. Hutchings doesn’t set specific dates for Christ's return, Christians can’t ignore the fact that 40 is the biblical number of probationary judgment. In light of that, Dr. Hutchings uses his time on Crosstalk to explain how he’s been able to document 40 signs that he believes point to the last generation that will see the return of Christ; signs that are relative to today's world.

Jesus and the Koran
Date: April 19, 2011 • Host: Vic Eliason • Guest: Usama Dakdok
Show Audio
Usama Dakdok was born in Egypt and grew up in a Christian home.Through his education in a government school he learned about Islam, like every other student in a Muslim country. He came to America in 1992, and upon finding out that there were many Muslims here, he decided to embark upon a ministry to those individuals.
As we approach Good Friday, Vic thought it would be appropriate to have Usama share his thoughts regarding how Muslims feel about Jesus. As Usama explains, Muslims don’t believe Jesus died on the Cross. They believe Jesus was a great prophet, but as a prophet, Allah would not allow him to be killed by the Jews.
According to Usama, 87% of Muslims haven’t read the Koran, therefore when witnessing to them, they may say they believe certain things that they claim are in the Koran when in fact, they aren’t. In response he has taken the Koran and translated it into English for Christians to use in their efforts to witness to Muslims.

Battle for the Border
Date: April 18, 2011 • Host: Vic Eliason • Guest: Larry Devere
Show Audio
As Vic and Larry began this broadcast, Larry noted that if the home country of an illegal alien won’t take them back, they are detained and eventually released into the public here in the U.S.
It’s this kind of border policy vacuum that makes the latest decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals so astounding. This court upheld the gutting of SB 1070, Arizona’s law enforcement and immigration law and amounts to judicially imposed amnesty.
Can our southern border even be secured? What about the charges of racism involved in such efforts? What part has the A.C.L.U. played in this? Find the answers to these questions along with what you can do to make a difference on this edition of Crosstalk.

Ingrid presented listeners with details on the following stories:
--A federal appeals court rules that the National Day of Prayer is legal.
--A senate bill in California that would mandate that gay history be taught in schools and that would require textbook manufacturers to include gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender history has passed in the California senate. If adopted by the state assembly and signed by the governor, California will become the first state to require the teaching of gay history.
--Newsweek Magazine is featuring a cover story on the controversy over Pastor Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins. The story is written by Pulitzer Prize winning author and former editor of Newsweek, Jon Meacham. The article is called, What If There’s No Hell? Ingrid encouraged listeners to read a response from Dr. Albert Mohler at the link listed below.
--Elmbrook Church’s Mel Lawrenz weighs in on the Rob Bell controversy.
--A church has decided to create a parody of Rebecca Black’s “Friday” video for their Easter services. The idea was to create a weekend party anthem in order to attract people to their church.
--Today a pastor need not do a lot of work. All you need to do is go to ChristianNewsWire.com. So now pastors can get their sermon outlines and video clips online.
A Crosstalk listener writes to say that she feels church has gotten too casual with people eating and drinking and treating church with disrespect. The rest of the show fielded comments from listeners who weighed in on whether the casual approach to worship is Scriptural or not.

Atheist "Bible" Unveiled
Date: April 12, 2011 • Host: Vic Eliason • Guest: Alex McFarland
Show Audio
Alex McFarland is an author, Christian apologist and popular commentator on Fox & Friends, the morning show on the Fox News Cable Network. He’s a regular on Fox News’ The strategy Room and this year he joined Marvin Sanders to co-host Explore the Word on American Family Radio.
McFarland formerly served as the President of Southern Evangelical Seminary and is also an author releasing two new books this year—10 Questions Every Christian Must Answer and Inside the Mind of the Skeptic.
A.C. Grayling’s The Good Book: A Secular Bible and another offering called 21st Century Testament are literary works that attempt to teach truth and virtue from a human perspective as an alternative to the Christian Bible.
According to McFarland these efforts are driven by the idea that a naturalistic worldview is the best way to understand reality and discern truth. This view communicates that we don’t have revelation but speculation.
McFarland believes America has become like Israel in Judges 5:8. We have chosen new gods and there is war within the gates. These books would appear to prove his point and amplify the reality of a spiritual warfare that is taking place.
Are there limits to pluralism? What about the battle between Islam vs. secularism in France as well as America? What books can you read to help you understand the times? You’ll get the answers along with the views of listeners when you join Vic and Alex for this stimulating edition of Crosstalk.

PFOX Day of Silence Supports Ex-gays
Host: Ingrid Schlueter
Guest: Regina Griggs
Date: April 11, 2011
Regina Griggs is the Executive Director with Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX)
Ingrid began this broadcast with a story noting that the California Senate Education Committee was going to consider a bill requiring schools to spend scarce resources to become more gay-friendly. Senate Bill 48 requires that U.S. history, California history and social science be taught with a deliberate emphasis on the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals.
This story underscores the importance of what’s about to take place this Friday, April 15th. That’s the date for the nationwide pro-gay Day of Silence, the annual attempt by the pro-gay lobby to convince the public that homosexuals are victims. In response, Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) is urging parents, students and educators to distribute their
literature at high schools and colleges across America. This literature communicates the truth regarding bullying and gender confusion and can help the plight of ex-gays who themselves are often the victims of harassment by those our schools are claiming to protect.
Will the schools be tolerant of this viewpoint? The nation will find out this Friday and in the meantime you can educate yourself when you review this edition of Crosstalk.

you can distribute to counter the gay lobby rhetoric concerning the Day of

literature at high schools and colleges across America. This literature communicates the truth regarding bullying and gender confusion and can help the plight of ex-gays who themselves are often the victims of harassment by those our schools are claiming to protect.
Will the schools be tolerant of this viewpoint? The nation will find out this Friday and in the meantime you can educate yourself when you review this edition of Crosstalk.

you can distribute to counter the gay lobby rhetoric concerning the Day of
Silence, go to: www.pfox.org

States in Rebellion
Date: April 8, 2011
Host: Vic Eliason
Guest: David Kupelian
David Kupelian is Managing Editor of WND.com, the largest independent Internet news service in America. He is author of several books including his latest, HOW EVIL WORKS: Understanding and Overcoming the Destructive Forces that are Transforming America.
The April issue of Whistleblower Magazine is called States of Rebellion How legislators and governors nationwide are openly challenging a rogue President. A wide-ranging rebellion is indeed under way by a large majority of states. They are fighting back against federal power grabs and are seriously intent on declaring such unconstitutional laws null and void in their
state.
On this Crosstalk, David looks at the specific points that are straining the relationship between the states and the federal government. Some of these include the idea of nullification, the Second Amendment, Utah’s acceptance of gold and silver as legal tender, eligibility proof legislation, and more.

Christian Relationships in the Digital Age
Date: April 7, 2011
Host: Ingrid Schlueter
Guest: None
If there is a lack of love in the church today, what happens when we transfer that environment into the digital arena? In other words, is Matthew 18 in effect for our Internet behavior as well?
For example, about five weeks ago a podcaster who’s been on Crosstalk began to slander Ingrid on the Internet as he took issue with some things she had said regarding Rick Warren.
This is an example of what can happen with Christians on the Internet today. We can find ourselves using pejorative language and violent metaphors with Christians we disagree with. At that point our Internet relationships will have taken on a video game type of character where we treat others as though they are nothing more than avatars.
In this edition of Crosstalk, Ingrid encourages people to model forgiveness and
reconciliation, even in the often unpredictable Internet world.

Pro-Life News-Christian Maternity Center to Open
Date: April 6, 2011
Host: Ingrid Schlueter
Guest: James Lansberry
James Lansberry is president of Samaritan Ministries International, a non-profit charity that exists to provide a mechanism for Christians to help one another with medical bills without using insurance. Members share over 4 million dollars in medical bills a month among 17,000 plus families in all 50 states.
Christians are known for opposing abortion and encouraging mothers to not abort their babies, but mothers who choose to give their children life have often had only the government to rely on when it comes to medical care and support during pregnancy. The Morning Center, a pro-mother, pro-child, full-service Christian maternity center with a raft of services, is scheduled to open in 2012. This center will offer medical care for mothers and a place to deliver their babies all in a Christ-centered environment.
Ingrid relates this to the state of Christianity today as she asks, “If we have money for the kind of conferences and the webinars and the interactive seminars and the big blowouts with big celebrity names, then maybe we could fund a maternity hospital.”
Then before taking calls, Ingrid presented the following news story:
--Abortion advocates threaten pro-lifers and slash tires in violence.

What Issues Concern You Today?
Date: April 5, 2011
Host: Vic Eliason
Guest: None
Vic Eliason presented the following stories and then accepted comments from Crosstalk listeners:
--Arizona offers tuition tax credits for religious schools, something that some people may feel aids religion while still others may feel this simply allows parents to pick the best school for their children. These tax credits were legally challenged and in a narrow 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that taxpayers don’t have standing to bring the lawsuit that aimed to end the tax credit system.
--President Obama has announced he will seek another term as president.
--Vic reviewed President Obama’s long pro-abortion record.
--Vic also played an audio clip of a controversial statement from Dr. Billy Graham regarding salvation.

Ken Ham Dropped from Homeschool Conferences
Date: April 1, 2011
Host: Vic Eliason
Guest: Ken Ham
Ken Ham is the CEO and founder of Answers in Genesis.
Recently, Ken Ham was un-invited to speak at two large homeschool
conventions, one near Cincinnati and the other near Philadelphia. This
was after he spoke out against the false teachings of Dr. Peter Enns of an
organization known as BioLogos. Mr. Enns, who was a previous presenter
and author of a homeschool curriculum that teaches spiritual error, was
kicked out of Westminster Theological Seminary in 2005 for writing a book
where he denied Scriptural inerrancy.
This issue parallels a new book Ken has coming out in mid-April
titled, Already Compromised. This book takes a look at the shocking state of
Christian higher education.
