In the wake of Senator Dianne Feinstein's (D-Calif.) death on Thursday night, the Golden State's Democratic governor has selected a far-left abortion activist to fill her seat in Washington, D.C. News broke Sunday night that Governor Gavin Newsom has picked Laphonza Butler to fill the late senator's place in the U.S. Senate.

A worldview is a lens through which we see life. Generally, a worldview can be discovered by answering four main questions:
<ol>
<li>What is the origin of humanity?</li>
<li>Does our life have meaning?</li>
<li>Is there an ultimate morality?</li>
<li>What happens when we die?</li>
</ol>
It's back to the basics with this episode, as host Joseph Backholm highlights two main worldviews: Naturalism and Creationism. Walking through how each one would answer the four main questions, Joseph unpacks the difference between these two worldviews, what it means to have a Christian worldview, and how to discover what your worldview is. He also addresses, as Christians, where should we put our hope and how does our worldview influence our politics?&nbsp;

There's no doubt we are seeing an increase in progressivism in politics in the U.S. and across the globe. In recent decades, around the 2000s and onward, even casual observers have seen an increased divide in the political landscape. Those disagreements don't suggest that one party is evil and the other is not. For years, both sides shared common values on things like women's rights, a strong military, and growing economy. The term "progressivism" was a term largely absent in dialogue - but lately, something's different. The priorities between the two sides have noticeably changed.

A conservative-led stop-gap spending measure, which would have reduced discretionary government spending by 8% and partially addressed the crisis on our southern border, failed by a vote of 198-232 on Friday, with 21 Republicans voting against it. Faced with an unpopular government shutdown, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) fell back to a longer, 45-day status quo funding measure.

South Carolina has canceled its membership in two library associations that accuse parents who believe young children should not see pornography of launching "book bans." The South Carolina State Library pulled out of the American Library Association (ALA) over its "tone-deaf ... activism," while the state's public schools exited the South Carolina Association of School Librarians (SCASL) for creating a "hostile environment" against parents.

I can't say I've always known what it truly means to be a Christian. I can't say I have understood the gospel or salvation my whole life - its gravity or application. I certainly did not come out of the womb acknowledging sin, being a sinner, or my need of repentance and a savior. These truths were gradually revealed to me by the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. 

As President Joe Biden skipped an event with families still grieving the loss of 9/11, the entire nation ignored, and is in danger of forgetting, the anniversary of another terrorist attack commemorated earlier this month. Labor Day weekend marked the 40th anniversary of an airline assault that exclusively killed innocent Americans, including a sitting U.S. congressman. That congressman's life, legacy, and endless exhortations call for Americans to continue standing against the anti-American, anti-family movements that still threaten us today, at home and abroad.

Our nation is in crisis. It isn't a gun crisis. Or fentanyl crisis. It's not a border crisis - or even a government funding crisis. It is a moral and spiritual crisis. And a sickening video that went viral last weekend fully displays it. 

President

Republican presidential hopefuls upheld parental rights, dismissed gender ideology, and challenged Donald Trump to defend comments that pro-life laws were "terrible" during an often chaotic, two-hour long debate on Wednesday night.

Recent reports show how damaging the southern border crisis continues to be, as millions of migrants stream into the U.S. illegally. Even Barack Obama's Homeland Security secretary, Jeh Johnson, admitted, "[T]his needs to be, for the Biden administration, for the U.S. government, an all-hands-on-deck, whole-of-government effort to address this crisis." It's turning "cities upside down," he insisted. Ten years ago, Johnson shook his head, "[We] felt like the world was coming to an end" when the numbers were a fraction of what they are now.

Despite a record-setting number of illegal entries across the southern border, the Biden administration has announced it will deport a Christian family that fled Europe for the right to homeschool their children - a family granted indefinite legal residency by the Obama administration.

After a turbulent week, the relationship between former President Donald Trump and pro-lifers took another testy turn on Saturday night. Days after calling Florida's six-week abortion limit "terrible," the 45th president launched into a lengthy post on Truth Social warning Republicans that it will "be very hard to win Elections" if the party insists on stronger protections for the unborn. No, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel pushed back on Fox News Sunday. What makes it hard to win elections is sitting back and letting Democrats control the conversation. It's time to go on offense, she insisted - and soon.
