Life, Death & The Eternal Mindset
Life, Death & The Eternal Mindset
Length 42:35
Former U.S. Senator and university president Ben Sasse faced a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis in late 2025—a stark “death sentence” that forced him to confront mortality head-on. Instead of despair, he embraced family, faith, and resurrection hope, transforming his final days into a powerful testimony of purposeful living. Mike Slater, host of Politics By Faith, draws inspiration from Sasse’s journey to show how facing death reorients priorities away from fleeting pursuits toward what lasts forever. Blending this real-life story with timeless wisdom literature from Scripture, the special reveals how an eternal mindset brings deeper joy, love, and faithfulness in Christ.

Length 59:20
In this episode of The President’s Daily Brief:
Despite an easing of rhetoric, the United States tightens its military posture toward Iran, moving a carrier strike group into the Middle East. While rhetoric between Washington and Tehran appears to cool, the deployment signals that military pressure—and U.S. options—remain firmly in place.

Politics By Faith: Powers, Principalities & Persecution
Politics By Faith: Powers, Principalities & Persecution
Length 43:51
Mike Slater confronts the spiritual dimensions of global Christian persecution, drawing from Ephesians 6:12 to expose how unseen “principalities and powers” manifest in earthly systems of oppression, authoritarian control, extremist ideologies, and societal rejection. This episode explores the ongoing realities in the world’s most hostile regions, including North Korea—where faith can lead to immediate execution or labor camps—alongside escalating pressures in places like Somalia, Nigeria, Sudan, Eritrea, and others marked by violence, discrimination, and restrictions on worship. Viewers are invited to grapple with these truths, recognize the spiritual warfare behind the headlines, and consider the call to vigilance, prayer, and faithful response in light of Christ’s ultimate authority.
