How Theology Dismantled a Nation | Jan's guest is author and evangelist Ray Comfort. In Ray's new book, "Hitler, God, and the Bible," he reveals how Adolph Hitler used the Bible to undermine a nation. Most Germans were members of a church, yet eventually they would have no trouble singing hymns as well as Nazi songs. They would swear oaths to Hitler and forget God. This was possible only because the church in that era was riddled with apostasy. Germans, therefore, looked to Hitler for divine truth, more than God. Germany had a "remnant church" led by Bonhoeffer, Niemoller, Barth, and others, and most, though not all, perished. Jan brings out elements of her own classic book, "Trapped in Hitler's Hell." Ray then makes a comparison of the Nazi Holocaust and the holocaust of babies today. He references his hit DVD, "180." Find Jan's book here. Today's apostasy-riddled church in the West should learn the lessons of the German church. Learn more at www.livingwaters.com | 5/26/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Defending the Faith -- The Top 10 Creation/Evolution Issues | Eric Barger sits in for Jan and discusses science-related issues with Jay Seegert. Before Jesus was Savior, He was Creator, so why are science-related issues and the book of Genesis not discussed more frequently? Many churches just allegorize Genesis as well as Revelation. Eric and Jay then discuss the top 10 questions concerning the creation-evolution debate. You don't want to miss this as your own questions will be among them.

The Church's Missing Agenda | Radio producer Larry Kutzler is guest host and on Israel's Independence Day--May 14-- talks to two Jewish believers about the church's missing agenda: Israel. The church today either ignores the topic or mishandles it by twisting Scripture. Could the church today be less dysfunctional if they did not abuse or ignore "the apple of God's eye?" All three men are pastors and offer great insight into the dilemma. For more info, www.fire-church.org or www.junevolk.com. | 5/12/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

If it's Not the End of the World, What's Next? | We play a message given by Dr. Mark Hitchcock at "Understanding the Times 2011." The topic: "2012: If it's Not the End of the World, What's Next?" Mark gives some insights into the Mayan suggestion that there may be an apocalypse in December, 2012. Students of the Bible know the world won't end at that time, but what might happen on that date or shortly thereafter? This is a sobering wake-up call and a message to Christians that the hour is, in fact, very late. How can we make the Mayan prediction work to our advantage to win souls while there is time? You can order CDs or DVDs of this conference here. We have conference products going back several years if you would like to check that out. | 5/5/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

OWS: The Chilling Connections | Jan's guests are Jack Kinsella and Ken Ham. Kinsella and Jan discuss the chilling connections of the "Occupy Wall Street" (OWS) crowd. The violent "Arab spring" has finally come to America. Chaos is about to be unleashed by the OWS crowd of Communists, Socialists, anarchists and general Leftists. This is a part of the "lawlessness" predicted in the Bible. Jack and Jan focus on the good news that reflects: Christ's return is imminent. Ken Ham and Jan discuss Noah's Ark as Answers in Genesis is building a full-scale model of the Ark, to be finalized by 2014. The ramifications of the Ark are fascinating, from the care of the animals to the fact that the planet was one entity before the deluge, not many continents. The good news is that this is a symbol of salvation and Christ has the Ark door open today offering safety and eternal life to all who accept it and enter in. www.omegaletter.com www.answersingenesis.org | 4/28/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Harbinger: Is This America's Final Warning? | Jan's guest is Jonathan Cahn. The two discuss his book and film, "Harbinger." Is this America's final warning or just a fictional narration? He relates what he feels are parallels between ancient Israel and America, explaining America is not a chosen nation such as Israel. As Israel was warned but ignored the warnings, he feels America is doing the same. There are nine parallel harbingers. They key verse is Isaiah 9:10 which was quoted by America's leaders following 9/11. These same words were spoken by Israel in defiance to God. The Harbinger phenomenon has its critics and supporters so you have to weigh it for yourselves. Because of the extensive information, you can hear the extended information in the Web audio bonus below. The book is now in film form: "The Isaiah 9:10 Judgment." Olive Tree is not carrying either one at this time. Learn more at www.theharbinger-Jonathancahn.com. | 4/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Web Bonus: Is This America's Final Warning? | AUDIO WEB BONUS Cahn explains the financial collapse in America and the world in this segment and other issues that we could not cover in our radio program. Hope for America is offered and the encouragement that we be salt and light while there is still time. We offer all of this interview as information to think and pray about. We are not suggesting that this is a definite word from God but we do ask, "What if Jonathan Cahn is right?" Could this be America's final warning? | 4/20/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Exalting the Cross in the Gathering Darkness | Jan talks to Dr. Erwin Lutzer about the gathering darkness. Will we still exalt the cross as things get difficult? The church today is hopping on some bandwagons such as environmentalism, pop psychology, and even political activism when it needs to be shining a beacon of truth amidst the gathering storm. Jan is drawing heavily from Lutzer's book, "When a Nation Forgets God: 7 Lessons We Must Learn from Nazi Germany" which you can order here. Then Jan gives commentary on the new blockbuster film, "The Hunger Games"; the Muslim Brotherhood being welcomed into the White House; Holocaust Remembrance Day which is coming up; and Jerusalem being wiped off the Israeli map by our State Department. An ominous sound byte is played of a reporter grilling a State Department rep who will not own up to this. What does this mean for America in light of Genesis 12:3? www.moodychurch.org Find Jan's uplifting book about the Holocaust here. | 4/14/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Will the Emergent Church Submerge Yours? | Jan's guest is Pastor Joseph Schimmel, producer of the cutting-edge new film, "The Submerging Church: How the Emerging Church is Drawing Multitudes Away from Biblical Christianity." The two consider many of the tentacles of this movement: Their sick doctrine of Hell, their mystical side, their Islamic sympathies, their view of eschatology, their uniting with evil, and much more. Jan plays seven revealing sound bytes of their leaders who consistently espouse heretical statements. The Emergent Church could submerge yours so you need this info! They also expose the Emergent's poster boy: Bono. Schimmel reveals Bono's sympathies for Alester Crowley, a renowned though deceased Satanist. In the audio Web bonus (see below), Jan and Joe discuss how all things "Purpose-Driven" relate to the Emergent Church. The discussion focuses on Rick Warren's PEACE Plan and on his "Daniel Plan" of 2011. Why would Warren want to unite with a movement that consistently blasphemes God?

Web Bonus: Will the Emergent Church Submerge Yours? | Web Audio BonusJan and Joseph Schimmel continue their discussion in this bonus for our electronic audience. How do all things "Purpose-Driven" blend with the Emergent movement? Why would a man called "America's pastor" even want to associate with the heretical statements coming from this crowd? They also re-visit the Hell issue in light of a stunning statement by Doug Pagitt on Hell played in a sound byte. This segment is 30 minutes in length. | 3/30/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Preventing A Second Holocaust and Mystical Madness | Jan's first guest is White House correspondent Bill Koenig. Koenig feels the spring, summer, and fall ahead will feature global disruption and confusion. Their topics include Israel's Iran burden, Obama and Israel, Campaign 2012, and much more. Jan's second guest is Pastor Gary Gilley. The topic is "Spiritual Formation." What is it and why is it unbiblical and dangerous? Who are the leaders of this unsound movement? It is mystical and presents ways to get closer to God that are ungodly! Yet many churches today have a Director of Spiritual Formation. Do they even know what they represent? Koenig was a speaker at Understanding the Times 2011 and again this October. www.watch.org and www.SVchapel.org | 3/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Temporal Delusion: Is the Church Destined to be Raptured or to Reign Supreme? | Jan hosts and talks to guest T.A. (Tom) McMahon about his book, "Temporal Delusion: Is the Church Destined to be Raptured or to Reign Supreme?" At this very moment, millions of professing Christians are joining with millions of other "believers" to promote peace and reconciliation across the country and around the globe. These pragmatic churches and organizations are uniting for the ecumenical "common good" to eliminate poverty, eradicate disease, and save the earth from political and environmental disaster -- all in the name of advancing "God's kingdom on earth." But are all of these good works derived from a biblical blueprint for humanity? Or are these well-meaning workers building a house on foundations of sand? Your church may very well be among them. Olive Tree carries the book and it is found here. For more info on McMahon, visit www.thebereancall.org. | 3/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The Wycliffe Bible Translation Controversy | Jan interviews a number of guests with her co-hosts Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische. The topic is the Wycliffe Bible translation controversy. Is there now a Muslim-friendly Bible? Wycliffe is accused by missionaries and other critics of defending something deceptive. Jan talks to Wycliffe VP Russ Herssman in the first half hour but also some critics. They include Georges Housnney of Biblical Missiology and David Irvine who pulled out of Wycliffe over the issue of removing "Son" and "Father" in the Bible. A third guest is Emily Belz of World Magazine who has provided cutting-edge information on this story. Are the accusations off-base or have some actions been taken that are in the best interest of Muslims? Has postmodern, Emergent influence now entered the world of para-church minstry? Other organizations in the effort are Summer Institute of Linguistics and Frontiers. To sign a petition against these actions, visit www.biblicalmissiology.org For info written by Emily Belz, visit www.worldmag.com To reach co-host Eric Barger, visit www.ericbarger.com To reach co-host Jill Martin Rische, visit www.waltermartin.com To read Wycliffe's response, go to www.wycliffe.org We have inlcuded an extra 37 minutes on this topic in a web bonus.

Customer Reviews
Culture Decline?
Someone commented about "Culture Decline" articles on Jan Markell's web site. I suppose these topics about polygamy, homosexuality, euthansia, teachers involved with students, the breakup of the family, pornography (and like material about young kids), indecency on TV, and other articles by national writers are apparently not things that "some people" like to read. However, they are relevant as they do affect the family and the Christian Church. This is a Christian ministry; it is about what Jesus did and what He taught. It is about families; it is about Salvation. These are things that need to be considered and analyzed from the perspective of what the Bible says. This is what Jan Markell does, with the many different and prominent guests she has on these radio shows. If this is labeled as "hate", being discussed within the context of the Bible and what it says, then someone would have to label the Bible as "hate". It's about the Bible; it's about God; it's about Jesus Christ.
My Favorite Podcast
If you're a Christian and you are living in anticipation of the Lord's soon return then this show is for you. Everything is covered relating to the end-times in a very thorough way. Jan Markell has a wonderful way of bringing out the most important issues with those she is interviewing. I have received tremendous insight from her radio program as well as her website and newsletter. If you are not a Christian and you are wondering why the world is like it is and what is about to happen then this show is also for you.
