Hour 1: The Final Algorithm
Artificial intelligence is no longer simply changing how we work—it is reshaping authority, trust, and decision-making itself. As digital systems increasingly govern commerce, communication, and identity, humanity approaches a threshold Scripture warned would come: a deception so persuasive that even the elect could be led astray. National-security analyst and bestselling author Robert L. Maginnis will join us to examine how today’s technological power aligns with biblical prophecy in ways that are no longer distant or theoretical.
Hour 2: Faith and Science
This hour, Dr. Fazale Rana, from Reasons to Believe, will discuss gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR and how these advances are transforming medicine, giving scientists the ability to correct genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia. But are they playing God? Then, you hear about an exciting on-line event being put together by Iran Alive ministries that take you beyond the headlines to give you keen insight into what it is like to live under a theocracy. Don’t miss a minute of this conversation.
IN THIS EPISODE
Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis
Ret. Lt. Col. Bob Maginnis graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, the Naval Postgraduate School, the Command & General Staff College, the Defense Language School and the Army War College’s strategy course. He is an Airborne-Ranger infantry officer with service in four infantry divisions on three continents. In 1993, Colonel Maginnis served with the Pentagon group that wrote the now abandoned policy on homosexuals in the military known as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. Once retired from the Army he joined the Washington DC-based Family Research Council, where he rose to be the vice president for policy before returning to the Pentagon in 2002. However, Colonel Maginnis remains FRC's senior fellow for national security. Colonel Maginnis has decades of media experience as a columnist, a Fox News military analyst and as an on-air commentator for multiple radio programs and networks to include Salem Radio Network. In addition to his many books, he is the author of nearly a thousand articles.
Dr. Fazale Rana
Biochemist Fazale “Fuz” Rana is president, CEO, and senior scholar of Reasons to Believe (RTB), an organization dedicated to communicating the powerful scientific case for God’s existence and the Bible’s reliability to both Christians and non-Christians. Fuz converted to Christianity during graduate school after becoming convinced of the validity of Christ’s claims and of his own need for a Savior. He earned a BS in chemistry with highest honors (West Virginia State College) and a PhD in chemistry with an emphasis in biochemistry (Ohio University) and completed postdoctoral work at the Universities of Virginia and Georgia. Before joining RTB in 1999, he worked for seven years as a senior scientist in research and development for Procter & Gamble. To date, Fuz has addressed more than 500 university, church, and conference audiences in the US and abroad. His books include Humans 2.0, The Cell’s Design, and Fit for a Purpose. He was also featured in Museum of the Bible’s Scripture and Science exhibit in Washington, DC.
Lily RIcci
Driven by a passion for intentional living and transformative faith, Lily serves as a key leader at Iran Alive Ministries, a global faith-based nonprofit reaching millions across the Middle East. Drawing from her personal journey as an Iranian woman, Lily offers deep insight into the complexities of culture, mindset, identity, and purpose.
Born and raised in a Muslim family in Tehran, Iran, Lily’s life took a pivotal turn when her family relocated to the United States at the age of 18. As she navigated the challenges of displacement, identity, and cultural tension, Lily was introduced to the Gospel by another Iranian woman. Through a powerful, personal encounter with Jesus, she wholeheartedly embraced Christianity—discovering freedom, healing, and purpose in Christ. Shortly thereafter, Lily was introduced to Iran Alive Ministries’ satellite television ministry, through which her faith was nurtured and strengthened. Motivated by a deep interest in learning about the integration of faith across every domain of life, she pursued theological education at a Bible institute, deepening her understanding of Scripture, Christian history and spiritual growth. Lily is a bold advocate against harmful practices woven into parts of Middle Eastern culture, including arranged and child marriages. She courageously addresses cultural biases, systemic injustice, and the enduring effects of patriarchy, using her voice to challenge societal norms that oppress women and perpetuate generational trauma.
Today, as a leader, speaker, and life coach, Lily is committed to helping individuals encounter God through the finished work of Christ and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. She coaches and teaches on identity, purpose, restoration, and inner healing —grounded in biblical principles that once helped her overcome her own life’s challenges. Her heart is to see people break free from limiting mindsets and victim mentalities, fully embrace their divine identity, and step into their Kingdom assignments—living lives marked by freedom, joy, and fulfillment in Christ.
