Do you find yourself angry or anxious when watching or listening to the news? If that answer is YES...this is the podcast for YOU. 'Politics By Faith with Mike Slater' offers a very different analysis to the equation, drawing from faith and the founders for perspective instead of the warring opinions of pundits. Each episode begins with the top story of the day, then provides a historical and Biblical parallel, and finally a motivating truth to calm your soul. You’ll be amazed at what the Bible and our very own history have to say about where we are today...
Why listen
Politics By Faith with Mike Slater is for listeners who want conservative news commentary filtered through Christian scripture and American history instead of pundit outrage. Mike Slater opens with a current story, connects it to a biblical or historical parallel, and closes with a steadier takeaway. It works especially well for Christians who follow politics closely but want a calmer, more explicitly faith-shaped way to process the news.
Episodes
The State Department issued a 100 page report about how Cuba has been the source of Communism in America. Communists have been around for a while in America, but there is one fundamental difference today. We break it down today and talk about the best way, maybe the only way, we can stop the rise of communism in America.
When we live in a culture of death, it's just a matter of time before we treat babies like a commodity to be bought, sold and slaughtered on a whim. When a baby is, we're told, just a "clump of cells", why would we treat their life as sacred? We have two terrible stories to show how far we've fallen and then one story that shows we still have hope.
New York's affordability crisis is forcing working families and seniors out of the communities they've called home for decades, as rising costs, higher taxes, and years of political decisions continue to reshape the state's future. Mike Slater sits down with Councilwoman Vickie Paladino to examine why so many believe these policies have made New York increasingly unaffordable. Pastor Douglas Wilson then joins to discuss communism's devastating legacy around the world, why it has long been viewed as incompatible with Christianity, and why ideas rooted in the ideology are gaining renewed attention in America.
The Democratic Socialists of America have gone from a relatively small political organization to a rapidly growing force within the Democrat Party. As the DSA expanded its membership, organized chapters across the country, and helped elect candidates who embrace its platform, policies once considered far outside the political mainstream have gained influence. Mike Slater examines the rise of the DSA, its growing impact on the direction of the Democrat Party, and what that could mean for the future of American politics.
The president gve his speech from the White House about now-unclassified incofmation on election fraud. There were 4 main accusations. We break them all down on the show today. We then go the Bible to prove that whenever there is money or power to gain, people will lie, cheat and steal there way to it.
Our special this weekend is about the rise of DSA. Mamdani is just the beginning; it's about to get a lot worse from these Third World Marxists in America. The president says these communists pose a bigger threat to America than WWI and WWII and any threat we've ever faced. Today's episode is an intro to DSA, and we talk about the most important weapon we have to fight the darkness.
"Young Washington" was spectacular! Go see it as soon as possible, and no, I wasn’t paid to say any of this. Bring everyone you know. No one could not love it. I was able to talk to the director of the movie and learn how important it was to them to be historically accurate. The movie also celebrates the truth that God protected George Washington and is intimately involved in the affairs of this nation.
If you were the governor of South Carolina, would you go with the strategic move to replace Lindsey Graham, or the sentimental choice? The president made his recommendation!
Senator Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly at the age of 71. What should we say about a politician's passing if we disagree with them on many issues? What can we learn from the life, and death, of prominent US Senators?
Democrat Governor Tim Walz went out of his way to protect this child molesting illegal alien from deportation. Why would he do such a thing? How could anyone defend this? We need to be a society that is much more severe against this sin and the people who enable it.
The One Big Beautiful Bill last year made some reforms to food stamps. It's now been a year, and the Washington Post searched for some sob stories about how Trump is cruel and awful. But what does the Bible say about food stamps?
We've been told since the 90's that when it comes to elections, "It's the economy, stupid". I believe we have it backwards. If we seek first the most important things, a thriving economy will follow.
Bryan Johnson is a super-rich tech bro who thinks he can biohack his way to immortality. He was just diagnosed with an incurable disease. We can criticize his foolishness, but the truth is, we aren't much different from him.
Communists hate the rich (until they become the rich). Elon is the first trillionaire in the world, but he's not the first rich person the communists have tried to tear down. But why do they hate the rich? It's not for economic reasons.
The President mentioned communists winning elections across America in all three of his speeches over Independence weekend. There are many arguments to make against Marxism. We are going to focus on the Biblical truths to take down the Third World Marxists.
You can’t remove the Bible from life and still claim to follow God—faith and scripture have always been inseparable in shaping belief and morality. For generations, ideas of God, liberty, and human purpose were deeply connected in the way America understood itself and its future. Mike Slater examines how the Founding Fathers consistently referenced scripture and how that worldview shaped the nation’s foundation.
America’s founding story has been heavily filtered, with key evidence of its Christian foundation often left out of the mainstream narrative. The historical record, the Founding Fathers’ beliefs, and the early documents that shaped the nation point to a foundation that’s frequently overlooked today. Mike Slater and William Wolfe lay out what’s been omitted—and why it reshapes how America’s past and future are understood.
America’s Christian roots shaped its laws, institutions, and culture in ways that are impossible to separate from the nation’s founding. After generations of cultural drift, many are asking whether the Church still has a role to play in shaping the future of American society. Mike Slater and Dr. Hunter Baker examine America’s Christian foundation, the Church’s influence on public life, and whether it can reclaim its place in the culture.
America’s founding wasn’t just political—it was deeply rooted in faith and a belief in something greater than government itself. As the nation approaches its 250th year, questions about its original purpose and spiritual foundation are being brought back into focus. Mike Slater explores the role of God in America’s founding and what reconnecting with those roots could mean for the country today.
The era of the "tolerant" Christian has to be over. We can have no more tolerance for sin. We have to be as shrewd as snakes amongst the wolves.
The definition of manhood is being rewritten in real time—socially, culturally, and spiritually. A growing divide is forming between modern ideas of masculinity and the biblical standard that once shaped generations. Mike Slater and Pastor Joby Martin explore identity, responsibility, and what it truly means to be a man today.
As screens become more influential than faith, many young Americans are being pulled further from the values that once anchored their lives. Technology is shaping the next generation in ways few parents fully understand. Mike Slater and Colin Elliott explore how the internet is reshaping the beliefs, priorities, and values of America’s youth.
America is more divided than ever—socially, culturally, and spiritually. What’s driving that divide raises urgent questions about whether a return to foundational Judeo-Christian values is the key to rebuilding unity in a fractured nation. Mike Slater and Pastor Allen Jackson discuss faith, identity, and the path forward for America.
The battle for our children’s hearts and minds is shaping the future of our country in real time. As culture grows louder and traditional values face new challenges, the questions surrounding faith, family, and the next generation have never been more important. Mike Slater and Auron Macintyre explore where these worlds collide and discuss what it means for parents, believers, and America in 2026.
It's been 4 years since Roe V Wade was overturned, and there are more abortions than ever. Its time we take this seriously in America. God's judgment is on us.
These Third World Marxists are a new level of extreme within the Democratic party. Do you think they'll stay isolated to NYC and a few other major cities, or are these Marxists going to infect the entire country?
Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, of all places, said he "hates Christianity". This is no surprise. He also has no idea about the historical importance of the 10 Commandments to America or the importance of the 10 Commandments to everyone in the world.
This 9-0 Supreme Court decision is undoubtedly a win for the 2nd Amendment. But is it good for America?
We can't ever forget the insanity of the COVID era. The ringleader of it all was Dr. Fauci, who Tulsi Gabbard has proven to be a liar once again. The Bible is clear; there is never a good lie.
Was Jesus a weak man—or was He the strongest man who ever lived? Christ didn't just teach truth; He conquered sin and offered redemption to those who fall short, including fathers. Mike Slater and Kyle Thompson reflect on what it means for men to lead their families from a place of grace, purpose, and victory.
The most important job in the world doesn't come with a paycheck—it comes with a purpose. Strong fathers build strong families, strong communities, and a stronger nation. Mike Slater celebrates the mission, responsibility, and joy of fatherhood.
I love when pagans criticize Christians for not being "Christian enough" or the right type of Christian that they would prefer. Obviously, don't listen to them, but what does the Bible say about the words we speak and the tone we should have?
What do mass immigration, soft-on-crime policies, and woke churches all have in common? All of these are led by woke women. God spoke against this clearly, and we thought we knew better.
The Rape Gang Inquiry report was released in England. It's more horrendous than anyone could imagine. They believe over 250,000 white British girls were trafficked in England. These crimes were committed by Muslim men, again, IN England. Every story they told of how this happened followed the same 3-step outline.
The president hosted an incredible event in the White House. If you had the microphone for 30 seconds to talk to over 100 million people, what would you say?
We are told Americans don't like soccer. I'm not sure that's true. The first World Cup game had more viewers than any game in the NBA Finals. Either way, it's interesting how much God uses sports to describe how we should live our life on earth. Run your race, receive the prize, and whatever you do, don't beat the air.
Is America great? Mike Slater and Steve Deace discuss. Steve also promotes his new book, Why Independence Day? Plus, Mike dives into a short story that has a lot of meaning to America today.
America is celebrating it's 250th birthday. Despite what you may have been taught in school, it is crystal clear that God was behind the foundation of America. Want proof? Mike Slater chats with American University professor Daniel Dreisbach, who lays out the evidence.
What is your policy on what to do when you see a homeless person on the sidewalk asking for money? One of the problems with allowing drug addicts and the mentally ill to live on the streets is it makes us callous to human life. What does the Bible say we should do about this?
With the attempted beheading in Belfast and other heinous crimes from 3rd world migrants here and in Europe, mass migration is again coming to the forefront. The perception is that mass migration is cruel and terrible. But the truth is, government-led mass deportations are the moderate option. We should take this action while we still can.
A man from Sudan tried to behead a man in a street in Belfast, Northern Ireland. When will it be enough for the people of Europe and America? When will we reverse this Third World migration? What does the Bible say about this?
Will you see Steven Spielberg's new movie? Do we need more things in our culture causing us to question the existence of God? Luke 19 has some insight into what we should do with Spielberg's offer.
We once had a God-fearing society. Then the pagans came in and threw God out of our culture, but thought they could keep all the good stuff. They were wrong. And one of those things that we lost was the ability to dispense justice through a jury system. Unfortunately, Pagan tribalism killed the jury system in America.
Mike Slater chats about America's founding with Eric Metaxas and how Christianity ties into it all, as well as the battle taking place against it. Plus, Billy Hallowell joins Mike Slater for a thoughtful discussion about the return of American va
Mike Slater chats with Seth Gruber, author of The Last Stand, about American values, Christian values and the forces working against them.
A popular YouTuber announced that they murdered their baby because a genetic test determined their baby might have Down Syndrome. What should the pro-life response be to this family?
Have you ever heard of the Black Robe Regiment? I haven't either, but when you hear what the Black Robe Regiment meant to America 250 years ago compared to what we're working with today, it makes sense why we're not where we need to be.
Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old White British man, was murdered by a 23-year-old man of Pakistani heritage. The Pakistani man told police Nowak committed a racism. Police arrested Nowak as he was dying from stab wounds to the chest. Nowak said, "I can't breathe," but police didn't care. Don't expect any George Floyd-like response this time.
We would never have a parade honoring any other sin. Why does homosexuality get a pass? I wonder if there's ever been a more successful propaganda effort to change our culture than the gay activists. Their run needs to end.
California is voting in its primary. Can the two Republicans come out on top of the governor's race and make the Democrats' plan for power backfire? And can Spencer Pratt make the top 2 in the mayor race and continue his campaign until November? Either way, he has the perfect attitude, which we all need to have in everything we do in our lives.
