America’s belief in God runs deep in our culture and our psyche but it’s under attack more today that perhaps at any time since our nation’s founding. Historians generally agree on four “Great Awakenings” in America’s past (we’ll have a future show on these later this summer), the last of which immediately preceded the Reagan Revolution.

Now that (seemingly) pretty much everyone who could possibly be running for the Republican nomination is in the race, are we looking at another “Christian Revolution”? Has the groundwork been laid? What’s missing? We talk with Dr. Bruce Thornton of the Hoover Institution to find out what were the cultural sparks that set off the Reagan grassfire to find out if the elements are there for a revolution or if this has the elements of a failed coup.

The Reagan Revolution

Reagan RevolutionWe’ll be talking with Dr. Thornton about the seeds of the Reagan Revolution and the expanding role of conservatives and evangelicals. Like why did the same evangelicals who had voted in droves for Jimmy Carter suddenly turn on him and vote in droves for Reagan?

But what about the three decades since? What happened? The Supreme Court chose to endorse sexual preference over religious freedom. Film and TV is overtly anti-Christian. Obama has lost all pretense of not being a Muslim advocate. Federal and state governments increasingly disavow themselves from Judeo-Christian beliefs to be “inclusive” of Muslims—like the Seattle mayor endorsing special housing funding for pro-Sharia law adherents. All this make you wonder, is America’s Christian heritage disappearing? Or are we on the verge of another great awakening? And what’s that mean for the possibility of another Reagan Revolution?

This week on I Spy Radio, we’re going behind the headlines to give you the personal, tragic, and deeply moving story of Christianne (“Chris”) Boudreau, a normal, everyday Canadian mom whose son left to join ISIS. She is now reaching out to other families to help them avoid similar tragedies.Don’t miss this tragic yet heartwarming story as a mom seeks out to prevent other families from having to go through this heartache. The response by the Canadian government will shock you. See links below to her organization — they have people overseas who can get kids out if they come to their senses and want to come home.

But first up we talk with Raymond Ibrahim, a Middle-East expert, about the very real threat of ISIS operating right here in the United States — and the special appeal to ISIS to recruit Western youth. Born and raised in the U.S. by Coptic Egyptians, Raymond understands both Western and Eastern cultural mindsets and often works as a “translator” of one to the other.  Raymond is an author (Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians and The Al Qaeda Reader), a widely published journalist (NYT, Fox News, The Blaze, CNN, Jerusalem Post, and many others), and a fellow at several think tanks, including the Hoover Institution and David Horowitz Freedom Center. Be sure to check out his awesome articles, below.

This week on I Spy Radio Show, we do what—apparently—no mainstream media news reporter did in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo and Jewish deli murders: read the Koran. And ask the hard questions about this “religion of peace” of Hoover Institution research fellow, Dr. Bruce Thornton.

Now that the initial raw emotions have dissipated from the Charlie Hebdo and Paris murders, it’s time to explore how and why these Muslim terrorist attacks happened. This week on I Spy, we go in depth with Hoover Institution research fellow Dr. Bruce Thornton to explore the Islamic faith and to find the truths about the “religion of peace” that the liberal media is too often willing (or complicit) to ignore. We compare and contrast Christian and Muslim ideology and ask the fundamental questions about what drives these terrorists and whether the Charlie Hebdo attacks were truly an anomaly committed by radicals.

And don’t miss what the mainstream media is not telling you about the newest worldwide assault on Christianity and persecution of Christians.
