What is Justice? What is Judgment? What are these things and how do they get confused with each other? Mike Slater discerns between both and gets analysis from Pastor Michael Clary.
Mike Slater examines the stark contrast between worldly justice systems—often flawed by human bias, political agendas, and incomplete accountability—and God’s perfect, eternal judgment that weighs the heart and ultimate truth. Drawing from biblical principles and current events, the discussion highlights how earthly courts and policies can fail to deliver true righteousness, leaving believers anxious amid injustice, while divine judgment promises impartiality, mercy for the repentant, and accountability for all. Listeners are encouraged to find peace not in relying on fallible human institutions, but in trusting God’s sovereign authority over every ruler, law, and outcome.
Death is inevitable, but it doesn’t have to be the ending. What does the bible teach about life, death and eternity? Mike Slater discusses with Wittenberg University President Christian Brady.
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.

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.

In this hard-hitting episode of Politics by Faith, host Mike Slater explores the troubling spread of DEI across politics, corporate America, culture, and entertainment—from Hollywood’s agenda-driven films to everyday media.
