Talking about the "things that matter most" on July 26

4:00 – Politics According to the Bible: A Comprehensive Resource for Understanding Modern Political Issues in Light of Scripture
A variety of perspectives exist within the Christian community when it comes to political issues and political involvement. Wayne Grudem is here to present a political philosophy from the perspective that the Gospel pertains to all of life so Christians should be involved in political issues. In brief, this is an analysis of conservative and liberal plans to do good for the nation, evaluated in light of the Bible and common sense.

5:00 – Anders Breivik and his “Re-Founding” of the Knights Templar
In his 1,500-page "manifesto", Anders Behring Breivik described attending a meeting in which he helped “re-found” the Knights Templar in London in 2002 and wrote that his “assigned mentor” was “referred to as Richard (the Lionhearted).” He said he had a “relatively close relationship” with the Englishman, who first described the concept of the “perfect knight”. Sandra Miesel, medieval historian and expert on the Knights Templar, joins us.

5:20 – Feast of St. Ann – Patroness of the Archdiocese of Detroit
We check in today with Archbishop Allen Vigneron of the Archdiocese of Detroit for our monthly discussion. The Archdiocese recently named St. Ann as its patroness and today is her feast.
