He has a Masters in Theology and a Ph.D in History specializing in the history of the English Bible.--The United States Supreme Court has upheld that the Second Amendment to the Constitution is an individual right, yet there are many questions that people have. So if you're wondering, for example, if you can be pro-gun and pro-life, you'll want to review this important edition of Crosstalk as Dr. Brown brings clarity on these and other points of concern. For example----Was Jesus a pacifist----How do we deal with -Thou shalt not kill--- According to the Bible, when is killing not murder----Does Romans 12-19-21 mean that we're to just leave things up to God for vengeance every time-- What is the place of law enforcement in this----What is the difference between self-defense and vengeance----Does carrying a gun show a lack of trust in God----Listeners had Dr. Brown answer additional qu

He is a Bible teacher, and writer for Israel My Glory magazine and is author of the book, Israel Always.--Jim began the discussion portion of this broadcast with comments from the Biden-Harris team concerning President Trump and those that gathered at the National Religious Broadcasters convention. Chris responded with a review of Trump's accomplishments on behalf of Israel.--As the conversation moved along, Chris commented on the following----Did the IDF miss something that allowed for the October 7th attack----How October 7th was the result of a constant festering in Gaza -15 years of missiles lobbed into Israel from Gaza- that gave way to the massacre on the Gaza border.--Why doesn't humanitarian aid get to where it's needed, even to the hostages----What's the latest on the hostage talks----Is a cease-fire in the best interest of Israel----Why the

No need to worry because the World

He is author of Crimes of the Educators and Deep State- The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes. He is Founder of Liberty Sentinel.--Is the threat of a Great Reset a conspiracy theory as some may allege-- Alex played audio from numerous people who are on the cutting edge of this movement. Some personalities heard from include---Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, feels that the COVID-19 pandemic proved that our old systems are inadequate for the 21st Century. So as we head into the 4th industrial revolution, we need a Great Reset. -Antonio Guterres, Head of the United Nations, talked about how wonderful the Great Reset is. --King Charles also expressed his enthusiasm for change.-Bulgar

At younger and younger ages, people are being exposed to pornography. The impact is being carried through the teen years and into adulthood. Many secretly struggle with porn and those inside the church are not exempt. Too often local churches ignore this problem with some not wanting to admit its existence. For others it's a lack of knowing how to deal with it and help those trapped by it.--Marriages have been shattered, families have been broken and the vocational livelihoods of many have been ruined by pornography and according to the guest on this Crosstalk, there is great risk in doing nothing. --Sam Black is a renowned author and expert in the field of pornography recovery. He is the author of The Healing Church- What Churches Get Wrong About Pornography and How to Fix It and The Porn Circuit- Understand Your Brain and Break Porn Habits. He regularly speaks at parenting, leadership and men's events across the country. He is Director of Recovery Education at Covenant Eyes.-Sam began looking at this issue

For answers people turn to their local neighborhood palm reader shop. Some follow their daily horoscope. Psychics abound on many television channels, by telephone, and online. Just type the word -psychic- into a search engine and in half a second, 230 million responses will come up.--There is great interest in the future. However, one place that people have refused to look at is the pages of Scripture. Jesus Himself was

Dr. Jane Anderson is Vice President of the American College of Pediatricians and Lead Author of their Position Statement, -Mental Health in Adolescents with Incongruence of Gender Identity and Biological Sex- released in February, 2024.--As then former Vice-President Joe Biden was running for the presidency, he said that -transgender rights are the civil rights issue of our time.- Since being awarded the White House, he has made great efforts to transform government, our society, schools, sports and even medicine as he has carried through on his promise of advancing and seeking to normalize something which is not normal spiritually, mentally or even biologically. His administration has often claimed that gender transition procedures are -necessary- and has even used the phrase -life-saving.- Without body mutilating surgeries or the blocking of hormones or taking opposite sex hormones, his administration has warned of depression and even suicidal death.--While the Department of Health and Human Services contin

The stories flowed quickly as Jim had much to share on yet another edition of the Round-Up. Here's the bulk of the stories mentioned during the first quarter hour-----On Tuesday, the House narrowly voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.----Wisconsin Congressman Mike Gallagher announced that he will not be seeking re-election this year. He voted against the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas. ----Senator Marco Rubio talked about refugees and those here illegally. He communicated that those coming into this nation are getting paid more than those who have worked and are entitled to benefits. Jim provided audio of his comments.----An article from the Epoch Times alleges that it's the U.S. that is bankrolling our own invasion by funding the U.N. and its partners, which in turn give hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and aid to migrants that eventually cross the U.S. southern border illegally. ----Newly discovered emails between the Department of Homeland Security officials and journa

What is happening under the guise of public education is both frightening and appalling. Last Fall we learned of a Christian student who filed a religious discrimination lawsuit indicating she was ordered by Chicago Public School staff members to meditate during a required quiet time. She was told to bow to deity that she didn't recognize and to internalize mantras in order to reach -Zen.- --Other school districts have required students to memorize the Islamic pillars of faith and even take a field trip to a mosque. Textbooks have been rewritten to push Critical Race Theory and a false accounting of our nation's history. Planned Parenthood has been invited into schools for their services. Then there's the account earlier this month of a drag-queen teacher in West Virginia that was arrested on child sexual exploitation charges. In Colorado, legislation is being considered that would require the state's public and charter schools to socially transition any gender-confused student by adopting that child's prefer

This Crosstalk featured the return of Dr. Jimmy DeYoung Jr. Dr. DeYoung is a speaker, teacher, Mideast guide, videographer and speaker on Prophecy Today. He lived and worked in Jerusalem for many years, is a fully credentialed journalist and has led numerous tours to Israel.--Just over 4 months ago, Israel suffered a very barbaric attack by Hamas, an Islamic terrorist group, that denies Israel the right to exist. Due to this planned genocide by Hamas, Israel declared war and has been systematically rooting out and eliminating the evil doers. --A dramatic rescue this past weekend freed a couple of Israeli hostages, while many more still remain. Negotiations to release the rest have fallen short. A truce or cease-fire seems unlikely as well. Meanwhile, Israel has discovered a top secret Hamas intelligence center right underneath the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency, and recently President Biden described Israel's response in Gaza as -over the top---Don't miss the coverage of these and other aspects of

Perhaps you're not aware, but there are ways in which Agenda 2030 is being methodically implemented, not just in the U.S. but around the world. This has ramifications for our economy, our food supply-security, land use, private property, our energy independence and much more. This pressure isn't just coming from the United Nations. Sometimes this pressure comes from our own state legislatures and city planning commissions.--Regardless of the level of influence, there are those making a positive impact on many fronts. These individuals realize that this is not a spectator sport and that as many as possible must be engaged to make a difference. --One of those difference makers is Tom DeWeese. Tom is president of American Policy Center. Tom is one of the nation's leading advocates of individual liberty, free enterprise, private property rights, personal privacy, back-to-basics education, American sovereignty and independence and protecting our Constitutionally-guaranteed rights. Tom is also the grassroots coordi

There are significant warnings being expressed by some individuals concerning the internal safety and security of the United States. These warnings are coming from the highest levels of government all the way down to the level of our county sheriffs.--The importance of this matter cannot be overstated. Jim proved the point as he aired 3 audio clips. The first was from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson as he questioned Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas concerning what's been taking place at the southern border. The second audio clip featured Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, who noted how multiple foreign terrorist organizations have called for direct attacks on the U.S. or its assets and the threat from domestic extremist groups. In the third clip, FBI Director Wray discussed the ongoing, multi-pronged threat of China. --These audio clips set the stage for comments that came from Butler County, Ohio, Sheriff Richard Jones. At a press conference conducted last week, he shared information obtained

Here's a sample of the many stories Jim rolled out to get listeners caught up on the news. Listeners were given their chance to comment as well.----The Supreme Court seems poised to allow former President Trump to remain on the Colorado ballot and expressing deep concerns about permitting a single state to disqualify the leading Republican candidate from seeking national offices.----A visibly upset President Joe Biden addressed the nation late Thursday to respond to news that a special counsel tasked with investigating his handling of classified documents had chosen not to charge him but also detailed numerous examples of his memory loss. The special counsel report, while clearing the president, sparked questions about his mental fitness. ----President Biden got completely lost during a press conference and a reporter had to remind him they were talking about Hamas. ----Congressional Republicans were quick to condemn the Justice Department for not prosecuting Joe Biden for his mishandling of classified docume

Jay Seegert is the founder - managing director for The Starting Point Project. He holds degrees in both Physics and Engineering Technology. Jay is an international speaker and author.--This coming Monday, February 12th, is the birthday of Charles Darwin who was born in 1809. This is the same day as Lincoln's birthday, but unlike the former president, Darwin was a promoter of evolution and his teachings have been promoted throughout society, especially in educational settings and museums. Sadly, this theory has also been adopted by many churches and religious organizations.--Back in 2004, a man named Michael Zimmerman was engaged in a battle against a school district in Wisconsin because he didn't like creation being taught. He brought approximately 200 clergy together to sign a letter to the school board. As a result, they retracted their policies regarding the teaching of creation.--Zimmerman was encouraged by this and others encouraged him to take this nationwide, so he started the Clergy Letter Project. Th

Many skeptics feel the Bible is a fairy tale or myth. Some claim it can't be trusted because it's full of contradictions and errors. Still others doubt the locations and events that the Bible describes. While the historical accuracy of the Bible has fallen under increased scrutiny and has been a topic of debate, new archaeological discoveries from an expanding host of ancient sites found in Bible lands continue to provide evidence pertaining to questions of reliability.--To provide insight on this issue, Crosstalk welcomed Dr. Titus Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy is a professional archaeologist and a research fellow at Discovery Institute. He is a consultant, writer and guide for history and archaeology documentaries and curricula, and currently directs archaeological projects in Bible lands. He's also researched and photographed archaeological sites and artifacts around the world. He's an author of the newly released, The Essential Archaeological Guide to Bible Lands- Uncovering Biblical Sites of the Ancient Near East

Recently Jim reported on some startling figures indicating that nearly 30- of Gen-Z'ers are identifying as LGBTQ-. In some areas, Social Services are removing minor children from parents because they believe parents are not affirming. --The Daily Caller is running a story today regarding audio they've obtained of a psychologist at a medical training summit in 2022. This psychologist indicated that it's parents who do not affirm their child's gender identity as having a mental illness.--What's causing this brainwashing that makes people believe that socialism is better for America, that taking the life of the unborn is good but abusive to women to protect that same life-- --Perhaps even more telling is a statistic from George Barna and the Cultural Research Center indicating that pre-teens are on track to abandon biblical Christianity in record numbers. --Can we document what's causing this deterioration of society-- William Federer can and he does just that on this broadcast. He's a nationally known speaker,

He began his legal career through the Attorney General's Honors Program as a clerk to an Administrative Law Judge in the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer at the United States Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review. Later in his career he was promoted to the Immigration and Naturalization Service General Counsel's Office in D.C., first as an Associate General Counsel, then as an Assistant General Counsel and Acting Chief of the INS National Security Law Division.--Crosstalk continues to monitor progress on our nation's southern border because many believe this to be a national security issue. One state, however, decided to take action. The governor of Texas made great efforts to secure his state but is being thwarted and fought against by the Biden administration. Speaking of the President, he curtailed many of the Trump policies which brought much broader protection to the U.S.

Below is a brief look at a number of key stories presented by Jim from this week's broadcast-----Earlier this week, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri grilled Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Meta -formerly Facebook-, at a Senate Judiciary Committee meeting.

The document would be binding as international law.--Also on the international health front, world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, and one of the topics of discussion was preparation for a worldwide pandemic known as Disease X.

Increasingly, the push for full acceptance and promotion of the LGBTQ- agenda is advancing. In fact, According to one poll, 28- of Gen-Z adults are identifying as LGBTQ. --The result-- Women's sports are being decimated and dominated by men who are identifying as women. Leading up to the Super Bowl, the NFL is committed to bowing to the diversity, equity and inclusion movement as it will be hosting the third annual, -A Night of Pride- with GLAAD during Super Bowl Week. Politically, additional LGBTQ- appointments to the federal bench are being made by the Biden administration, while polyamory is on the increase.--Are we fast approaching the days of Lot-- That's a question to ponder as Crosstalk welcomed Peter LaBarbera back to Crosstalk. Peter is the founder and president of Americans for Truth.
