Politics By Faith: The Judgment System
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.
Life, Death & The Eternal Mindset
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.
