Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Dr. Corey Miller. Corey Miller, Ph.D., is the President/CEO of Ratio Christi (2015). While he grew up in Utah as a sixth-generation Mormon, he came to Christ in 1988 and he has since been a youth and college pastor, a Bible college and university professor, campus minister, lecturer, and first and foremost an evangelist. From 2009-15 he served on staff with Cru's Faculty Commons ministry at Purdue. He is an Adjunct Professor of Philosophy and Comparative Religions at Indiana University-Kokomo. He is variously published and is co-editor of Is Faith in God Reasonable? Debates in Philosophy, Science, and Rhetoric (2014) and co-author of Ex-Mormon Scholars Tell Why: Testimonies and Reasons (forthcoming, 2017). He holds a master's degree in philosophy, biblical studies, and philosophy of religion and ethics. Corey was raised a sixth-generation Mormon in Salt Lake City, Utah, with ancestors who were direct acquaintances with Joseph Smith and Brigham Young. Although Utah Mormonism is less insulated now, growing up he was honestly unaware that there were so many other options outside of Mormonism. But he was not concerned and felt secure in his religion. Corey was invited to spend the summer of 1988 with a friend at his home in California. But his father made it contingent upon attending a non-denominational Christian camp there called Hume Lake. Although Corey was not living the ideal Mormon life at the time, he had no thought of ever changing religions. He believed Mormonism to be the one true religion. If it were not for the appeal of spending the entire summer on California beaches, he probably would not have attended the camp at all. I arrived at Hume Lake without any great expectations. To his surprise, the camp speaker delivered a message that week on the topic of hell with a robust presentation of the Gospel. His soul resonated with the message and for the first time in his life, he understood his need for forgiveness. Devastated and in tears, he realized he was a sinner and could not merit forgiveness. He found security in Christ and it was further authenticated by seeing Christ's love displayed through the people in a way he had not previously encountered. There was something authentic and non-religious about it. Even with the religious upbringing, he never experienced God's love in that way until he met these people and then met their source, Jesus Christ. Tune in for a powerful discussion on why Dr. Corey Miller and many other people have left Mormonism.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org There is a common perception that the teaching of religion, particularly Christianity, is not allowed in public schools. The most common reason for this is separation of church and state. But many states not only allow it, they require it as part of their curriculum. For example, in the state of California, sixth grade students are expected to: “Note the origins of Christianity in the Jewish Messianic prophecies, the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as described in the New Testament, and the contribution of St. Paul the Apostle to the definition and spread of Christian beliefs (e.g., belief in the Trinity, resurrection, salvation).” Today on Educate For Life, Kevin’s guest is Eric Buehrer. Eric is the president of Gateways For Better Education. As a former public school teacher, Eric Buehrer can relate to both sides of the religion-in-schools debate. He writes and lectures extensively on the subject of religion and public education. His audiences include parents, teachers, school administrators, school board members, college students, and churches. Join Kevin and Eric for an insightful conversation on the connection between religion and public schools. Whether you are a teacher or a parent, we hope this conversation will both inform you and encourage you. This episode first aired on October 7, 2017.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org In a sequel to last week’s episode on moms, Kevin has two special guests on the show. Their names are Missy Robertson and Kimberley Fletcher. Being mothers themselves, they understand how difficult raising children can be but believe that it is the most important role women have. Missy Robertson is the wife of Jase Robertson and has learned to live life in the spotlight as she plays an important part in her family’s record-breaking reality television series, Duck Dynasty. Despite the increased publicity on her family, company, and personal life, she has become a strong voice for morality and virtue both locally and globally. Missy is a devoted mother of three children who focuses on having a strong, happy, and loving family. She also runs her own jewelry business and is the ultimate working mom. Kimberly Fletcher is an Air Force wife, mother of 8 children and president and founder of Homemakers for America (founded 2004). She is also the author of the book WOMEN: America’s Last Best Hope, and a contributing writer with The Blaze and Townhall.com. Labeled by the media as “an unabashed America-loving homemaker," Kimberly has made it her personal mission to educate and inspire the women of America to realize their immeasurable worth and powerful influence on society simply by being who they are. These two women shatter the modern perception that women need to be outside of the home in order to be influential. Rather, they both believe that the greatest power a woman has to influence culture is by being a mother. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear a great discussion. You don’t want to miss it.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Being a modern mom is difficult. There is increasing pressure on women to get out of the home by getting a good education and getting a high paying job. While these are great things, new research suggests that these are not the most important things for women. Surprisingly, being a parent and being involved with their children rank the highest. So how does the modern mom juggle all these priorities? Kevin’s guest today is Candy Carson. She is the wife of Dr. Ben Carson, presidential candidate and current Director of HUD. Candy is also a mom. She knows first hand the importance of being a mom and raising children. She will share her valuable experience. Candy is also involved in the Mom’s March For America, taking place in Omaha, Nebraska. The goal of the Moms March is to shine a light on the powerful influence of mothers on our nation and come together to stand for decency, truth, family, freedom, and the constitution that protects our divine rights as mothers. They hope to counter the cultural pressure on women that says women should not focus on being moms. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear a great discussion. You don’t want to miss it.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Imagine if you had a transgender family member or friend. Would that change your perception of that person? Would it change how you interacted with that person? Or would you just accept that person for who they are and move on? These are difficult questions to answer. Our guest Kori Peterson has had to explore these questions to find answers on how to love her father who has become transgender. Kori has also had to deal with the pain and suffering that comes from abortion. Through her faith in Jesus Christ, she has learned that she needs to show love to her father, but that love doesn’t mean endorsing his lifestyle. Currently, Kori Peterson is with Concerned Women For America. Concerned Women for America (CWA) is the nation’s largest public policy women’s organization with a rich history of over 35 years of helping their members across the country apply Biblical principles in all levels of public policy.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life, Kevin’s guest is Dr. Lawrence Krauss. Prof. Lawrence M. Krauss is an internationally known theoretical physicist with wide research interests, including the interface between elementary particle physics and cosmology, where his studies include the early universe, the nature of dark matter, general relativity, and neutrino astrophysics. He has investigated questions ranging from the nature of exploding stars to issues of the origin of all mass in the universe. He received undergraduate degrees in both Mathematics and Physics at Carleton University. He received his Ph.D. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1982), then joined the Harvard Society of Fellows (1982-85). He joined the faculty of the departments of Physics and Astronomy at Yale University as an assistant professor in 1985, and associate professor in 1988. In 1993 he was named the Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics, Professor of Astronomy, and Chairman of the Department of Physics at Case Western Reserve University. Currently, he is a Professor of Physics at Arizona State University and is Director of the Origins Project. As planned, Origins will become a national center for research and outreach on origins issues, from the origins of the universe, to human origins, to the origins of consciousness and culture. With years of study and scientific knowledge, Dr. Krauss thinks it’s more likely than not that there is no God and that the Universe came from nothing. Dr. Krauss and Kevin will discuss this issue and you will get to hear a view you might not always get to hear.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org According to drugfree.org, twenty-three million Americans are currently addicted to alcohol and/or other drugs. This is a shocking and sad statistic. But what’s worse is that only one in 10 addicts (2.6 million) receives the treatment they need. This results in a treatment gap of more than 20 million Americans. Among reasons for not receiving treatment, is cost and lack of insurance. But perhaps a larger hidden reason is the addictive power of these drugs keeps pulling addicts back into a vicious cycle where there can seem as if there is no way out. Today on Educate For Life, Kevin is talking to a trio of guests representing Teen Challenge. Teen Challenge is a non-profit organization that relies entirely on the generous donations, funding, and volunteer efforts of both individuals and organizations throughout communities in order to offer services that help addicts escape addiction at no cost to the individual. They are on the front lines in cities across the United States helping to close the addiction treatment gap and giving hope and freedom to millions of people. You will also hear the incredible story of Rita. She is a graduate of Teen Challenge. She will share firsthand what it is like to be heavily addicted to drugs and what it is like to find a way out.

Is it a harmless lifestyle or a destructive trend? Today on Educate For Life Kevin’s guest is Denise Shick. Denise Shick has experienced transgenderism firsthand. When Denise was 9 years her father sat down with her and explained how he wanted to become a woman. This was too much for a 9-year-old to understand and process. It caused her to become confused about her own gender and to develop a hatred toward her father.

The district wants to implement a curriculum that would educate students about Islam. On the surface, that doesn’t sound so bad, but Chuck Limandri sees it as an attempt to indoctrinate students. The motivation to implement this new curriculum comes from studies that seem to show that Muslim students are bullied more than any other group. But the studies are deeply flawed in many ways including the fact that they consider disagreeing with Islam as a type of bullying. CAIR, the Center for Islamic and American Relations is the group that wants to implement this curriculum. They have stated that their goal is to use San Diego as a test platform to see if they can implement it all across the U.S. in order to use the education system to transform America into an Islamic country. Chuck Limandri has viewed the curriculum and he says it is incredibly one sided and teaches Islam uncritically to impressionable students. He says it is not the role of public schools to promote one particular view or religion over another. Further more, it would be promoting a belief system that is diametrically opposed to American values in many ways. According to what he has seen, this is exactly what this curriculum does. He says that if public schools would teach Islam in balance with other world religions, he would see no issue with it. Tune in to Educate For Life to learn about this important issue and see why Chuck has legal objections to the implementation of this proposed curriculum. You don’t want to miss it.

Imagine if you or someone you know lost their job or business because of their point of view. Imagine if they were being pressured to endorse a view they disagreed with and they got fired because they refused to cave. This is exactly what happened to our guests Blaine Adamson and David Jones. Today on Educate For Life, Kevin talks to two people who have been targeted because of their beliefs on one issue. Blaine Adamson is a printer in Kentucky who was sued for declining to print shirts endorsing a gay pride event. He and his attorney, Jim Campbell, will describe what happened in his case and how they argued that no one should be forced to endorse a view they don’t agree with. You will also hear the story of David Jones. David was a teacher in the San Diego area who was fired. David was being pressured to call one of his female students a boy. But because of his Christian beliefs, he concluded that doing so would violate his conscience. Not only was he being told he had to call a girl a boy, but he was also told he basically had to lie about the issue to the girl’s parents. The school eventually fired him because he refused to deny what he knows is the truth. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear how real people’s lives are being seriously affected simply by what their worldview is. Should people be forced to endorse messages they morally disagree with? Are these people being unloving and intolerant by not endorsing views that are contrary to their beliefs? Tune in to find out. This episode first aired on June 24, 2017.

Kevin will drill down to the important facts. What factors are contributing to climate change? Can we do anything to mitigate climate change? Are we headed for another ice age? How many ice ages have there been? Our guest Mike Oard will help answer these important questions. Michael has a Masters Science degree in Atmospheric Science from the University of Washington and is now retired after working as a meteorologist with the US National Weather Service for 30 years.

Michael has published many papers in his field in widely recognized journals and has written An Ice Age Caused by the Genesis Flood, Ancient Ice Ages or Gigantic Submarine Landslides?, The Missoula Flood Controversy and the Genesis Flood and The Frozen Record. He is also author of Frozen in Time, The Weather Book and Life in the Great Ice Age. Tune in to Educate For Life to hear what science actually says about climate change. Mike will demonstrate how the current models for predicting the course of climate change are flawed.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Fantastic book by Dr. Jake Hebert on the ice age and the flood http://amzn.to/2sVlup9 Global warming is a hot topic in today’s political and scientific sphere. Some say if we don’t stabilize our climate now, we will soon see cataclysmic weather events and even cause another ice age. Others say our climate is self-regulating and will withstand any effects man may have on it. Both sides claim to have rock-solid scientific evidence to back up their theories and today on Educate For Life, Kevin will examine the evidence. He is joined by guest Dr. Jake Hebert. Dr. Jake Hebert is a physicist who has studied factors that affect the environment. He has also written a book that examines how the ice age occurred in light of a Biblical Flood. He believes that a person’s view on this issue depends on your worldview, more specifically whether you accept an old earth view or a young earth view. According to his research, the ice age was a one-time event caused by things far beyond man’s control. He has also done important research on the Milankovich Theory, which has fueled the current debate over climate change. He has found serious flaws in the theory that could turn the debate on its head. Want to hear about these serious flaws and learn how climate change is explained by the Bible? Tune in to Educate For Life. If you want to read Dr. Hebert’s research for yourself, you can find it on http://icr.org, http://creation.com, and http://answersingenesis.org.

If you’re a parent, you may soon need to have that “talk” to answer any questions your child now has about sex. But soon, you may have to be more concerned about the content being taught in these classes and the type of homework they will be bringing home. Today on Kevin’s show we have two guests to talk about this delicate topic. Ashley Bever is a concerned parent who has seen the new California sex-ed curriculum first hand. She is alarmed by what she has seen. Starting in the 6th grade, students will be given access to pornographic materials. In addition, they will be taught that having sex at any age, with anyone, at any time is perfectly healthy. Not only is this material age-inappropriate, but it also flies in the face of what is medically appropriate. Our other guest is Dean Broyles, an attorney who works with the American Center for Law and Justice. He understands how the laws about sex education are written in California. He believes that this new curriculum being pushed by a liberal group called “Advocates For Youth” is twisting the law and using it to bully schools and parents into adopting this appalling curriculum. Tune in to hear important details about this new curriculum. You may be shocked by what you are about to hear. If you want to take action and help prevent this curriculum from being implemented in your school you can visit http://change.org, search for SDUSD and sign the petition found there.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Read the real-life story of Dr. Andrew Doan's addiction to video games that almost destroyed his life, and how he recovered in Hooked on Games: The Lure and Cost of Video Game and Internet Addiction http://amzn.to/2u1DfTd Video games are everywhere. They are available on our phones, computers, and tablets. Maybe you play for fun or use it to bribe your kids to do their chores. But you may not realize how much they are affecting you or perhaps how it is affecting your kids. Today on the show we have Julie Doan, an emerging expert in the field of video game addiction. She partners in this field with her husband, Dr. Doan, who was once a game addict himself. She will share surprising stats and practical ways that will help you and your family become unhooked from games. A national, cross-sectional study at Iowa State University of 1178 children ages eight to eighteen showed that 8.5% of the children demonstrated behaviors of addiction similar to other behavioral addictions like pathologic gambling. The kids addicted to video games demonstrated lower grades in school, attention problems, and other health problems. The video game addiction rate is between 8% and 12% worldwide based on research by several research groups and Douglas Gentile, Ph.D. The problem is, as a society in general, we are not educated about the long-term mental and health risks of video game addiction. Video games are free and available everywhere, and people are unaware of the one in ten who can and will be addicted to video games. The video game addict destroys his or her life and the lives of the people they love. It's time our society understands this addiction, prevents it, and helps the one in ten who are addicted to video games. Tune in to hear more about this important subject.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org For more information, check out No Child Left Alone: Getting the Government Out of Parenting http://amzn.to/2u1LdLJ Today on Educate For Life Radio, Kevin has California Senator Joel Anderson. Senator Anderson has served four years in the State Assembly and four years in the State Senate. After four years of service in the State Assembly and four years of service in the State Senate, in 2014 Senator Anderson was re-elected to represent San Diego county for a second term in the Senate. When first elected to the Assembly, he promised his constituents, "I am not going to Sacramento to be a potted plant." Senator Anderson is here to sound the warning bell about Senate Bill 18. Known as the Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of California, it resolves to invest in all children and youth in order to achieve specified goals, including having safe and healthy environments. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations relating to the needs and well-being of children and youth in California. The bill would create, until November 30, 2024, the Joint Legislative Committee on Children and Youth, with 18 members appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules and the Speaker of the Assembly, as specified. The bill would require the committee to develop “California’s Promise to its Children and Youth,” a framework for the care and welfare of children and youth in various contexts, including, but not limited to, health care, nutrition, homeless assistance, education, and foster care, as specified. The bill would require the committee to consider an unspecified Senate Concurrent Resolution, the Bill of Rights for the Children and Youth of California, if it is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2018, for purposes of developing the framework. On the surface, this may not sound bad, but Senator Joel Anderson believes this bill provides the framework for parental rights to be taken from parents and given to the state. Much of the text of the bill is vague and open to subjective interpretation. This bill would allow the state to impose arbitrary rules about the proper care of a child in nearly every area of life imaginable. Imagine if CPS knocked on your door and took away your child because the State decided that you were not providing your child with “appropriate” nutrition because he or she had a soda with lunch? Tune in to hear Senator Anderson make his case against this bill. If you would like to read the bill yourself, you can go to https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB18.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Get the whole story from the man who launched the first US satellite into space, America's Leap Into Space: My Time at JPL and the First Explorer Satellites http://amzn.to/2txxY4Z Space. The final frontier. Besides being the backdrop for a great Sci-Fi TV show, it is the subject of today’s show. Kevin Conover’s guest is Dr. Henry Richter, who helped put the first American satellite into space. Henry was picked to oversee the development of America’s first earth satellite, Explorer I. Henry says he lobbied to get Dr. James Van Allen’s package (a Geiger counter) on the satellite. This led to the discovery of the Van Allen Radiation Belts, which influence things from radio communications to the strength of the northern and southern auroras. The results from the Van Allen instrument were at first puzzling, largely because the instrument was saturated with the unexpectedly high levels of radiation surrounding the earth. Also, it was not until Explorer III that they had a tape recording of an entire orbit. Dr. Henry Richter became a Christian later in life. He says, “I was a busy churchman, but I sure didn’t like the name ‘Christian’. As the chairman of the board of a big, name-brand church, I told them that as long as I was in charge we weren’t going to get one of the born-again Christians here!” It was mainly through the influence of a former secretary (who became his wife), who seemed to have a deeper walk than most ‘religious’ people he knew, that he began to seek answers to the more meaningful questions, finally becoming a born-again Christian himself in 1969. “Yet for a long time I believed that God used evolution to put it all together, but that’s just not possible.” Concerning the big bang theory and man’s attempts to explain the universe without a Creator, he said, “The big bang and evolution is one of the biggest adult fairytales I can imagine.” This goes along with his book, The Universe: a surprising cosmological accident, currently under revision.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Get educated on dinosaurs, fossils, and the flood in Dinosaur Challenges and Mysteries: How the Genesis Flood makes sense of dinosaur evidence—including tracks, nests, eggs, and scavenged bones http://amzn.to/2u1VkAg Fossils are the preserved remains of creatures that lived long ago. But, just how long ago? According to evolutionary theory, the fossil record shows how life evolved over millions of years. According to the creation account, the fossil record was formed quickly during a worldwide flood. It would have buried sea creatures first and then eventually land creatures as well, accounting for the order we see in the fossil record. Earth only had one history, so which theory is correct? Kevin’s guest on the show today is Dr. Marcus Ross. Dr. Ross is a paleontologist who teaches at Liberty University. Marcus Ross has loved paleontology (especially dinosaurs) since he was a kid growing up in Rhode Island. He has continued pursuing this passion, currently researching a group of extinct marine reptiles called mosasaurs. He is greatly interested in issues surrounding the creation-evolution controversy and the intersection of geology with the Biblical events of creation and Noah's Flood. Dr. Ross believes that the evidence from geology and paleontology points to the truth of the creation account and the event of a worldwide flood and he’s here to tell you why. Tune in for this information-packed show and learn about the supporting evidence for the biblical accounts of creation and the flood. This episode first aired on March 25, 2017.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Are the stories of the Bible history, or mythology? The science of archaeology can help to provide the answer. This week Kevin speaks with Dr. Scott Stripling (a returning guest) and Dr. Bryant Wood, archeologists with the Associates for Biblical Research (ABR). They discuss some exciting new archeological finds, including the signet ring of King Hezekiah (the same Hezekiah who had a 533-meter-long tunnel constructed under Jerusalem). The three of them also discuss a compelling new documentary that Dr. Wood was involved in: Patterns of Evidence: Exodus. This film, created by Tim Mahoney, explores the evidence for Israel’s arrival, prosperity, enslavement, and exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Although there is abundant archaeological data supporting the biblical account, secular historians write it off as appearing far too early to match up with the rest of ancient history. But could it be that the archaeological establishment has erred in its chronology of ancient Egyptian history?
