Hour 1: Fast Starting A Career of Consequence
Many young, ambitious Christians are struggling to get noticed as new hires in the workplace today—not only young people, but those re-entering the workforce following military service, child-rearing, or after being furloughed due to Covid-19. These workers may find it challenging to stand out from the crowd while also maintaining their Christian values and ethics. Join us to hear practical and effective tips that can be implemented to rapidly gain visibility and early success. Learn to identify and use your spiritual gifts and apply other key biblical principles as you embark on a new career.
Hour 2: Was Jesus A Socialist?
Socialism is making a comeback-and so is the idea that "Jesus was a socialist." Today Lawrence Reed will show it is pure fantasy to believe that Jesus wanted earthly governments to redistribute wealth, centrally plan the economy, or impose welfare states. Our guest has an immensely popular video for Prager University, which has attracted more than four million views online. Poll after poll shows that young Americans have a positive image of socialism. In fact, more than half say they would rather live in a socialist country than in a capitalist one. Learn how to explode the myths that have lured in young people everywhere.
