In this week's episode, Gary Bauer exposes the dark forces that are actively tearing America away from its Judeo-Christian founding and transitioning it into an entirely secular nation under one-party neo-Marxist rule. He also sounds the alarm that many in mainline American churches believe this terrifying movement is none of our business and constitutionally proper. But not all is lost. Bauer speaks of a remnant that has only begun to fight. One of these brave Christians is Eric Metaxas, who has written a book on this subject titled Letter to the American Church. Bauer plays audio clips from a recent interview, where Metaxas explains why he wrote the book to address the cultural and policy battles facing Christians worldwide and specifically, the Church in the United States.

In this week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom, Gary Bauer relives the lead up to and the catastrophic aftermath of the 25th NASA Space Shuttle flight of Challenger. Bauer plays audio from the moment of this tragic accident, where seven brave crew members perished. He also plays portions of the eloquent address to the nation by President Ronald Reagan. Here is the President’s moving, unforgettable closing paragraph to America 38 years ago: “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and ‘slipped the surly bonds of earth’ to ‘touch the face of God.’”
