Imagine you are a young kid and you start having out-of-body experiences. You travel the world and visit people you’ve never known. You talk to spirits both human and animal. Some of you might be freaked out and some of you might be thinking that would be pretty cool. This has been the real-life experience of Strat Goodhue as part of the New Age movement. Strat Goodhue was born and raised in Hawaii. He graduated from Kalaheo High School in Kailua and went to college in Hawaii and California. He didn't have any real goals in life, and being a product of the public school system, he believed that people evolved by random chance from the primordial goo and he didn't think life had meaning or purpose. His life was radically changed at the age of 30 when he entered into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Strat is currently pastoring a Calvary Chapel church plant in Renton, Washington. Tune in for a powerful episode exploring the New Age movement and the spirit realm. If you want to find out more about Strat Goodhue and his experiences, check out https://howtoknowthewillofgod.com.

Cindi’s Hope is a Christian ministry working in Africa to rescue children from human trafficking. They rescue orphans from war-torn countries including Rwanda, Uganda, and the Sudan. The ministry provides these children with safety, housing, and quality education. Today, Cindi’s Hope provides a quality Christian education, nutritious meals, love, and encouragement to nearly 200 children in 2 different centers in Kenya and our Primary School in Rwanda. Cindi’s Hope is active and growing in many different communities. Children, families, and entire communities are being transformed through continuing education and Christ’s love. While the children are first rescued from their situations by the Kenyan government, they do not offer assistance or resources to Cindi’s Hope. Free education is offered at the Cindi's Hope Primary schools. Therefore funding must come from outside sources. Help Cindi to provide much-needed food, clothing, and infrastructure for the Cindi's Hope Academy.

Kevin Preaches at Skyline on the Historical Accuracy of the Bible

Professor Emeritus and biochemical evolutionist, Dr. Dean Kenyon, abandoned evolution because of life’s irreducibly complex makeup and is now a Christian creationist. If abiogenesis (life from non-life) occurred as is claimed, then raw, undirected chemistry must have given rise to the highly complex interrelated machines and processes that make biologic life possible. Everyone has heard of the chicken/egg conundrum; which came first? There are many chicken/egg relationships required for life to exist. Take ATP for example. ATP is the energy currency of life. Every biologic function is powered by ATP. Stop ATP production and you’re dead, instantly. That’s why cyanide is so lethal, it stops ATP production. ATP is produced by the molecular rotary motor ATP Synthase, which spins at around 7000 revs a minute with every turn spitting out three ATP molecules. Around 50kg of ATP is produced in our bodies daily by the over 10 quadrillion ATP Synthase rotary motors in our bodies converting ADP6 to ATP; less when resting, more when working hard. But … ATP Synthase is coded for on the DNA. So to get ATP Synthase you have to have the DNA coding for it. But to get the DNA code for ATP Synthase transcribed so as to get ATP Synthase, you need ATP to drive the transcription process. However, to get ATP to drive transcription, you need ATP Synthase to produce it. No ATP Synthase = no ATP = no transcription of DNA coding for ATP Synthase = no ATP Synthase = no ATP… To make the issue explicit: The whole interrelated, irreducibly complex DNA/ATP Synthase system has to be fully intact and functional for it to work. Without it life is not possible, thus it had to come into existence as a going concern from the very first moment of life’s existence.

Calling all math nerds! I have a math problem I need help solving. According to Leslie Morrison, an astronomer now retired from the Royal Observatory Greenwich in London, the earth’s spin has slowed by about 6 hours in the past 2,740 years, Morrison and his team reported this finding in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A. This means that the farther back in time we go, the faster the earth would be spinning. What I want to know is this: assuming that the decrease in the earth’s rotation speed has been constant if the earth is currently spinning at approximately 1,000 mph at the equator, how fast would it be spinning A)2.5 million years ago(when the supposed evolutionary chimp line diverged from the human line) B)65 million years ago(when dinosaurs supposedly went extinct) C)3.5 billion years ago (when the first life supposedly appeared on earth) D)4.5 billion years ago (when earth supposedly formed). The reason I ask is that I’m skeptical that life could exist on earth if the rotation was too fast in the distant past. Educateforlife.org

Judge Bret Kavanaugh has been accused of sexual assault during the recent Congressional Supreme Court confirmation hearing. How can a Christian support someone like Bret Kavanaugh with a charge like this against him? Wouldn’t that be hypocritical or at the very least a horrible double standard? Today on Educate For Life Kevin will talk about how supporting Kavanaugh or someone like Trump doesn’t mean compromising your values or having to live by a double standard. Christians are often called out because of their support for leaders who don’t fully live up to Christian values. They are often called hypocrites, but is this really the case?

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Would you donate to a cause that you don’t believe in? What if you were forced to support a cause because you were part of a certain organization. If you are a teacher, you are likely in a union. If you’re not in a union you still have to pay dues to the union. If you are a conservative and/or a Christian, your dues are being used for causes you may not be willing to support. But, there is a Supreme Court case that may soon change all that. Today on Educate For Life Kevin has David Schmus. David Schmus has been involved in the public schools for over 15 years, as a high school AP US History/Government teacher and a Christian Club adviser. He has been repeatedly honored as Most Inspirational Teacher. David and his wife Elizabeth have been married since 1992, and have 4 daughters. He holds an M.A. in Biblical Studies and Theology from Biola University, taught Biblical Worldview classes as an adjunct professor for 14 years, and was recently a featured speaker in the Talbot School of Theology Chapel Series. Now on staff full-time with CEAI as Outreach Director, David is passionate about coming alongside Christian educators to provide them with the resources and encouragement to walk out their calling. David Schmus will also talk about Janus v. AFSCME, a Supreme Court case that many expect will get a favorable ruling. Many observers expect that the U.S. Supreme Court is going to free all public school educators from forced unionism in the Janus v. AFSCME case, with a ruling expected in June. After Janus, you may have the choice to join a union, join another professional association like CEAI, or join nothing at all. We encourage you to get the facts and pray about this important decision. The people at CEAI are not anti-union but are opposed to forced union membership. If you feel God is leading you to stay in your union, then do that. But if you feel Him leading you to other options, then they would love to serve you as a member.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life Kevin has as guests, Tobias Haglund and Kristi Fox. Tobias and Kristi are with Young Life a Christian Youth Ministry. Young Life is a group of caring adults who go where kids are, win the right to be heard, and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them. The vision began in the early 1930s when an elderly woman, Clara Frasher, recruited a group of her friends to pray for the teenagers attending Gainesville High School in Texas. Six years later, during the spring of 1939, a young seminarian, Jim Rayburn, started a chapter of the Miracle Book Club in Gainesville, Texas, a small town 75 miles to the north of Dallas. As he was developing the program in Gainesville, Rayburn also worked with a local pastor, Clyde Kennedy. Today, the Young Life mission is still committed to incarnational witness: embodying and expressing the love of Christ through relationships with all kinds of kids: WyldLife is our outreach to middle school kids, Young Life for those in their high school years, and Young Life College is our program for college and university students. In addition to the ministries mentioned above, Young Life reaches military teens through a program called Club Beyond, the Small Towns/Rural initiative brings Young Life to communities of fewer than 25,000 people, and Amicus is Young Life’s student exchange and hosting program for international kids.

Join our team, get educated, make a difference. http://join.educateforlife.org Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Doug Axe. Douglas Axe is the director of Biologic Institute. His research uses both experiments and computer simulations to examine the functional and structural constraints on the evolution of proteins and protein systems. After a Caltech Ph.D. he held postdoctoral and research scientist positions at the University of Cambridge, the Cambridge Medical Research Council Centre, and the Babraham Institute in Cambridge. His work and ideas have been featured in many scientific journals, including the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Nature, and in such books as Signature in the Cell and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen Meyer and Life’s Solution by Simon Conway Morris. Throughout his distinguished and unconventional career, engineer-turned-molecular-biologist Douglas Axe has been asking the questions that much of the scientific community would rather silence. Now, he presents his conclusions in this brave and pioneering book. Axe argues that the key to understanding our origin is the “design intuition”—the innate belief held by all humans that tasks we would need the knowledge to accomplish can only be accomplished by someone who has that knowledge. According to Axe, for the ingenious task of inventing life, this knower can only be God. Starting with the hallowed halls of academic science, Axe dismantles the widespread belief that Darwin’s theory of evolution is indisputably true, showing instead that a gaping hole has been at its center from the beginning. He then explains in plain English the science that proves our design intuition scientifically valid. Lastly, he uses everyday experience to empower ordinary people to defend their design intuition, giving them the confidence and courage to explain why it has to be true and the vision to imagine what biology will become when people stand up for this truth.

It is also not uncommon that those who suffer from anxiety also suffer from depression. To help untangle the web of anxiety, Kevin has as his guest, Dr. Esther Yi. Dr. Yi earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology with a minor in Asian studies (emphasis in Korean) from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She received both her Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology and Doctorate in Psychology from Southern California Seminary Graduate School of Behavioral Sciences. She has experience working with adolescent and adult survivors of sex trafficking. She currently works with domestic violence offenders and provides therapy to those that are struggling with drug and alcohol addictions. She also understands anxiety. She will present some simple techniques to help short circuit anxiety and help minimize its effects on you and those around you.

“Religion is for the weak-minded.” That is the mindset among many who are non-religious or atheist. Kevin’s guest, Mary Jo Sharp, thought exactly that. But then she discovered otherwise. How does that happen? Mary Jo is a former atheist from the Pacific Northwest, who thought religion was odd at best. But then she went looking for answers to her questions and she found the answers in the Bible. She now holds a Masters in Christian Apologetics and is an assistant professor of apologetics at Houston Baptist University. Several years ago, a friend asked her, "Why would a woman want to go to a session on apologetics?” Her question hit me like a load of bricks. She was so excited about finding answers to her doubts that she had never considered there was a lack of women in this field (or, as the question implies, a lack of interest from women). She came to discover, however, it is not so much a lack of interest as it is a lack of acquaintance. She finds that apologetics serves us in three ways: it answers doubts, builds confidence, and changes our lives. Apologetics is a field that handles the difficult questions people have regarding belief in God. Some of those questions include: 1) How can anyone say God is good when there is so much evil in the world? 2) How do I know that Jesus rose from the dead? 3) Why should I trust the Bible? and 3) How do I know God exists? Unanswered questions may eventually lead to doubt. Those doubts, after festering for many years, can lead a person to live a defeated life; one that lacks the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Further, a person cannot reasonably trust God if they do not know whether or not He exists: in bigger things such as salvation, or even in smaller things found in daily living. Yet, when a person begins to answer their doubts those answers can build their confidence in what they believe. As a person gains confidence in their faith, that confidence can begin to change their lives. Tune in for a great show!

In 509 BC, the Roman Republic was born. The Romans established a republic, a government in which citizens elected representatives to rule on their behalf. A republic is quite different from a democracy, in which every citizen is expected to play an active role in governing the state. This is the governmental model America’s Founding Fathers chose to emulate. Because of the close similarities between Rome and America, some use it as a model to predict what the fate of America may be. Is America fated to fall and repeat the same mistakes as those of the Roman Republic? Here today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Professor Edward Watts. Professor Watts received his Ph.D. in History from Yale University in 2002. His research interests center on the intellectual and religious history of the Roman Empire and the early Byzantine Empire. His first book, City and School in Late Antique Athens and Alexandria (University of California Press, 2006), explains how the increasingly Christian upper class of the late antique world used a combination of economic and political pressures to neutralize pagan elements of the traditional educational system. His second book, Riot in Alexandria: Historical Debate in Pagan and Christian Communities (University of California Press, 2010), uses Greek, Latin, Coptic, and Syriac sources to reconstruct an Alexandrian riot that erupted in 486 AD. Riot received a 2010 PROSE Award Honorable Mention in Classics and Ancient History. His third book, The Final Pagan Generation (University of California Press, 2015) offers a generational history of the men born in the 310s that traces the experience of living through the fourth century’s dramatic religious and political changes. It was awarded the 2015 Phi Alpha Theta Best Subsequent Book Prize. His fourth book, Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher (Oxford University Press, 2017) recounts the life of an important female philosopher whose work redefined philosophy and whose death resonated as a symbol of dramatic religious and social change in the early fifth century. He is also the author of Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny (Basic Books, 2018). This episode first aired on Mar 2, 2019 Educate For Life with Kevin Conover airs Saturdays, 2-3 PM PT.

Recently in the news, there has been the story of the ISIS bride. Hoda Muthana left Alabama at the age of 19 to join ISIS of her own free will. Now she wants to come home, with her young son, but whether she will be able to get back into the United States is completely out of her hands. Muthana, now 24, insists she has the right to come back, and she's pleading for a second chance. The Trump administration, however, does not consider her a U.S. citizen. So, should she be allowed to return to the US? Here today on Educate For Life is Pastor George Saieg to provide a unique perspective on this story. Born and raised in Sudan Pastor George Saieg is all too familiar with Islam. Now the founder and director of Ministry to Muslims, his lifelong experiences with Islam have given him a burden to reach Muslims with the truth of the Gospel. God revived Saieg’s passion in 2001, with a vision. While Saieg stood in a shopping center parking lot in Southern California, he envisioned a tent overflowing with Muslims that needed to hear the truth. Saieg immediately asked the parking lot owner for some space to hold a book fair. The man granted his request and went a step further – he provided a location for an Arabic Christian bookstore. Just a few weeks later the attack on 9/11 occurred and George realized his calling to expose Islam’s deceptive teachings while also mobilizing American Christians to reach out to their Muslim neighbors. Soon after, he began a Weekly Outreach to Islamic Centers and has been training Christians to share their faith ever since. God has given George a platform to speak in churches and at conferences all across the US. In 2006, George was ordained as a pastor.

Teachers in America are under attack by the very organization that was set up to protect them. There are stories nationwide of teachers who have been harassed and intimidated by the Teachers Unions. But now that the Janus Case has passed, those teachers now have the freedom to leave the union but still many do not. Here on Educate For Life today Kevin has as his guest Rebecca Friedricks to help break it all down and explain what is actually going on. Rebecca Friedrichs has been an elementary school educator in Southern California for 28 years. Since the first day of her career in 1988, she’s been concerned about the policies and politics of the teachers’ union she’s forced to financially support. Although she “opted out” of the political dues for the first ten years of her career, she later joined as a full member in order to gain a voice because “agency fee payers” lose all rights of membership, including the right to voice their opinions and vote within collective bargaining. She served on her local union board for three years with hopes that union representatives would listen to common sense and reason in order to bring about positive change in her district and in union expenditures of members’ dues. She discovered that many union representatives agreed with her concerns, but to her disappointment, she was unable to make any positive impact because even the union representatives were afraid to speak up to union bosses. Rebecca knows from personal experience that even union representatives have no real voice in union policies, and are bullied and silenced if they dare to question the unions’ narrow views.
