The Worship Wars - Part 2 (March 3, 2019)
This is part 2 of a discussion of music in the church that has resulted in the worship wars.

Amazon lists 43,000 kinds of “New Age” medical practices, books, DVDs, etc., most involving some kind of demonic influence.

All humanity gets saved in the end! The disastrous way the Trinity is depicted will confuse millions. Yet pastors are recommending “The Shack” and handing the book out to church members. Some say it is better than the Bible. Find DeYoung's book Burning Down the Shack: How the Christian Best Seller is Deceiving Millions at www.wnd.com or Amazon.com.

Jan Markell and Eric Barger spend two segments with Mike LeMay who warns of the dangers of humanism. Could this even be the one-world religion?

Hear a stunning clip from Bart Campolo that depicts the effects of liberalism in the church today. Learn more about LeMay’s new book, The Death of Christian Thought, at www.anekopress.com.

Dominion Theology: Ignorance or Arrogance? (January 21, 2017)
Jan Markell and Eric Barger discuss “Dominion Theology” with Dr. Ron Rhodes. Dominionism says that the church can make the world perfect and only then can Christ return.

What Can the Righteous do?  (October 8, 2016)

first guest is author David Kupelian. The progressive gift to America is brokenness. He documents this in his book, The Snapping of the American Mind, and on air with Jan. Progressives, led by President Obama, are attacking the sanity of the country. Everything righteous people hold dear is under assault. What can we do? The Left insisted Obama was a “messiah.” Government must become a god. Then AFA President Tim Wildmon joins Jan and co-host, Eric Barger to report on his visit to Target Corp to give them over one million signatures of protest for their genderless bathroom policy—another gift from the godless Left.

When God’s Hand of Restraint is Lifted (May 21, 2016)
Jan Markell's
guest is Anne Graham Lotz who says she does not put her hope in a political party today. She does believe that Christians praying the Daniel Prayer could turn America around. God’s hand of restraint has been lifted from this nation but God relented when Daniel prayed this prayer in the Bible. Then why do so many Christians insist that the rocker Prince died a Christian? Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische suggest that he only represented the “prince of darkness” and the Jehovah’s Witness cult. We use the mobile app found at www.oneplace.com.

This is practical information to help you be ready should a bad or even worst-case scenario develop in your home town. Find Eric’s new DVD here. We use the mobile app found at www.oneplace.com.

Do We Have Time to Make America Great Again? (April 16, 2016)

When a Prophet is a False Prophet (January 2, 2016)
Because Seventh-Day Adventism is in the news, our hosts consider that belief system and ask if it is a cult? Ellen G. White, their leader, is clearly a false prophet. Does that mean that we shouldn’t vote for Dr. Ben Carson—who is an honorable and righteous man? And what’s wrong with annihilationism or the false doctrine that hell is not eternal? This is a part of Seventh-Day Adventist theology. Jan Markell, Eric Barger, and cult expert Jill Martin Rische consider these issues.

Blood Moons: Harbingers or Hype? (June 21, 2014)

The tetrad of four blood moons on Jewish feast days such as Passover and Sukkot are rare and occur near significant dates for the Jewish people. Dr. Mark Hitchcock believes the blood moon references in the Bible are for the Tribulation and apply to Christ’s Second Coming. He is frank that he feels the blood moons of 2014 and 2015 are hype and sensationalism. His book, “Blood Moons Rising: Bible Prophecy, Israel, and the Four Blood Moons”, is found here.

Infiltration (April 19, 2014)
Jan Markell and co-host Eric Barger talk to Dr. Erwin Lutzer. Lutzer correctly points out that the Left and Islam are in sync as both seem committed to wiping out democracy and Christians. Lutzer is concerned about the America church, assuming it will look like the church in Europe that has cooperated with Islam. The three discuss the incredible “infiltration” of the church and America by outfits like The Muslim Brotherhood. But is anybody listening? Find his book, “The Cross in the Shadow of the Crescent” here.

In our last segment, Eric Barger gives reasons for faith and testifies to the boldness that comes only from "resurrection power."

Giving Away Freedom (April 5, 2014)
Jan Markell and co-host Eric Barger begin by discussing his spring 2014 conference message, “Ten Reasons Why Jesus is Returning Soon.” Then they consider the U.S. give-away of the Internet and the threat to freedom that is. It will also harm the spreading of the gospel.  It is a further set-up for the Antichrist kingdom. They close discussing the recent World Vision reversal on gay marriage. The organization has asked for forgiveness for its intent to hire same-sex couples, but it cannot be denied that their intent introduced a potential slippery-slope scenario into the world of churches and ministries even with the reversal.

One World - No Borders: How Soon? (March 8, 2014)
Jan Markell
and her co-hosts, Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische, talk to Gary Kah for two segments. How soon is the one-world system arriving in Gary's opinion? They also discuss more recent efforts at spying including the intrusion and lawlessness of ObamaCare and the FCC attempt to monitor news outlets. Satan has orchestrated things so that the entire globe is in a crisis and this will speed global government. Soon, people will long for it as well as the "man with a plan," Antichrist. More and more, Christians are just seen as intolerant. The New World Order is about unity and we don't fit. The one-world religion is discussed. Gary believes Jerusalem will be the capital of that effort. Then Jan closes with a very short commentary on the "Christ at the Checkpoint" anti-Israel session March 10-14 in Bethlehem.

The Green Agenda Sinks Noah (March 1, 2014)
Jan Markell's
guest is Dr. Cal Beisner from the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, an organization telling the truth about the environmental war. The planet may be dying but God is the scientist behind it, not man. It is outlined in Revelation that we will get a new Heaven and Earth. They also discuss the forthcoming film "Noah" and the abomination it is, although some Christians support it. They discuss the "religion" environmentalism has become and it is rooted in paganism, yet "evangelicals" have adopted this as their favorite topic in the last 20 years. Then, Jan, Eric Barger, and Jill Martin Rische talk about the various evangelical outfits that have adopted a totally green agenda. This is the essence of end-time delusion.

Jan Markell
and co-host Eric Barger talk to prophecy expert Bill Salus about the potential for the Psalm 83 war, the Gog-Magog War, and an Israeli strike on Iran. Experts have said Israel will strike Iran this spring or early summer although John Kerry employs "John Lennon foreign policy"-- give (futile) peace a chance, and never God's foreign policy -- stand by Israel. This has consequences. What will America's role be in these forthcoming wars? They also discuss the blood moon cycle as it relates to Israel. Bill Salus' terrific book "Psalm 83" is available here.

Evolution: True Science Fiction (January 11, 2014)
In the first segment Jan Markell answers her critics. Then Ray Comfort joins Jan and Eric Barger to talk about the ravages of evolution today. Sound bytes of Ray's film, "Evolution vs. God", are played that are stunning. Evolutionists clearly illustrate that they cannot defend their "faith" and prove the theory to be true science fiction. As more people with a Godless agenda try to seize power everywhere, Comfort allows us to see that they are poor apologists and even worse "scientists." Yet this is the new "religion" of secular humanism. If there is no God, then any kind of depraved behavior can be excused as we came from pond scum. Get a view of why society is imploding.

Birth Pangs (December 28, 2013)
Jan Markell and her co-hosts, Eric Barger, Jill Martin Rische, and Executive Producer, Larry Kutzler review the major "birth pang" stories of 2013. For Bible-believing Christians, major stories, particularly as they relate to "signs of the times", exploded. From Israel's isolation to the growing lawlessness, each day welcomed a new story that fit into things predicted in the Bible for the final days. From spying to the betrayal of Israel, it wasn't a good year but these things must happen to a final generation. We don't know we are that generation, but we could be.

Global Birth Pang Alert (October 5, 2013)
Jan Markell
and co-host Eric Barger quiz Rep. Michele Bachmann about the hastening "birth pang" activity that only accelerates daily. Who is funding the new mosque in your neighborhood or coming to your part of town? Bachmann has just met with several world leaders who cannot recognize America right now. Bachmann feels the baton of global leadership has been passed by America to the Mullahs, the Marxist world, and other dark forces. They also discuss the new national nightmare of ObamaCare and the massive invasion of privacy expected. But the focus is on the privilege of being a part of the challenges of this generation that could see Christ's return. The Bible says that "these things must happen" at the time just prior to His return. We are in a spiritual war and the King of kings will be the victor so this news is not a downer.

Mormonism: Saving America When it Hangs by a Thread (August 10, 2013)
Jan Markell
and her co-hosts Eric Barger and Jill Martin Rische discuss many angles of Mormonism. They are joined by former Mormon, Pastor Paul Sheldon. They tackle Glenn Beck's recent "Man in the Moon" extravaganza in Salt Lake City which was a combination of patriotism on display with Mormon trappings. At the heart of Mormon theology is the fact that Mormonism will some day save America when it's Constitution and the very existence of the country hangs by a thread. Sheldon gives his story of exiting Mormonism even though he taught at the lay seminary level. Mormonism is riding in on the coattails of high-profile men, something they have never had before. Beck is clearly their first Mormon televangelist, falsely claiming to be a sincere Bible believing Christian. Many items referred to on air can be found in Olive Tree's online category, "As Heard on the Radio" here.

The New "Confused" Evangelicals (June 22, 2013)
Jan Markell
, Eric Barger, and Larry Kutzler all contribute to this program. In part one Eric Barger and Larry Kutzler look at the "new confused evangelicals." These new evangelicals are rejecting sound doctrine, eternity, and salvation in favor of social justice, environmental concerns, and earthly thinking. In reality, could it be this new movement is merely an update of the old liberalism that decimated the formerly evangelical mainline churches and seminaries over a century ago? Learn who some of the leaders are as Barger and Kutzler play many examples that illustrate how the new confused evangelicals are betraying their namesake -- and the Bible. Then, host Jan Markell offers a bold commentary on the outrages being perpetrated on Americans by her corrupt leadership today.

Islam: The Hammer of Judgment on America? (June 8, 2013)
Jan Markell
and co-host Eric Barger quiz former Muslim Brotherhood operative Walid Shoebat about a dozen topics including the love the Left has for Islam, the real reason behind the Benghazi disaster, Hillary Clinton's embarrassing testimony last January and the purpose of the mission there, and the strange Clinton/Abedin/Weiner relationship. Jan asks Walid if Barack Obama is perceived as a Muslim in the Islamic world. Walid then reveals the tie to Wahabbist Islam and the Obama family and the troubling associations of Obama's brother Malik. Obama glorifies his Islamic terror associations and heritage and denounces his Christian side and Shoebat explains why. Shoebat states that the church is being fooled by Islam and that Islam is infiltrating the church through devious means. The three discuss many of those efforts including "The Common Word", Chrislam, and more. Find Shoebat's book, "The Case for Islamophobia: Jihad by the Sword--America's Final Warning," here. Note: this ministry is not in complete eschatological agreement with Shoebat but his warnings concerning Islam must be taken seriously!

John Haller from the Columbus (Ohio) Bible Prophecy Conference also weighs in on the compromise of this denomination.

Jan Markell and Eric Barger co-host on 1/12/2013 "When Discernment Turns Ugly" Eric, Jan and their guests consider the dark side of discernment. Some of today's discerners are contentious and even mean-spirited. We wonder what the unbelieving world must think as they listen to the "new Pharisaical discerners" condemn just about everyone but themselves. Is this the way Jesus operated? While we must contend for the faith, can we not do so in Christian love? Weighing into this scenario are Dr. David Reagan and Mike LeMay. Dave Reagan makes a plea for grace, an item that seems to be missing among many of today's discerners. We ask if they are just lifting up themselves by tearing everyone else down?

Then understand how World Vision's Richard Sterns' book presents an unbiblical, works-oriented plan of salvation and forwards "Kingdom Now" theology, while intimating that the vast majority of true evangelicals preach and believe an incomplete gospel.

Eric hosts "Understanding the Times" Radio (5/7/2011) on Spiritual Liberalism/The Most Dangerous Cult Having thoroughly researched the history of liberalism and the deadly progression that led to the spiritual destruction of mainline churches and denominations, Eric discusses the many failings of theological liberalism. His warning is that a satanic redo is underway inside once-sound Evangelicalism as many are following down the same path. This hour includes a discussion of the scriptural warnings, clips from liberal teachers, and the sobering reminder that liberalism is, indeed, the MOST dangerous cult of all.

Eric hosts "Understanding the Times" Radio (5/7/2011) on Divorced From Church/The Price Pastors Pay (Guests: Pastor Sam Buckingham, Pastor Joe Staniforth, and Manny Silva) Eric Barger updates the theme "Divorced From Church - When is it Time to Leave?" Today there are countless disenfranchised believers who have become refugees fleeing Emergent, Purpose Driven, Seeker, and liberal churches. The predicted apostasy warned of in Paul's letters is doubtlessly underway and the sheep are being scattered. Still the "remnant" spoken of in Scripture is alive and active! In this hour Eric talks with three brave ministers who have risked all to make stands for truth. You won't want to miss their powerful stories.

On 1/15/2011 - TWO HOURS on Emergent, Contemplative and how its coming into the Church Jan Markell and Eric Barger challenge Christianity Today for their promotion of a bargain sale of products promoting lectio divina, contemplative prayer, "the silence," spiritual formation, walking the labyrinth, and more. These are practices the reformers died fighting 500 years ago. In particular, the Emergent Church is promoting all of these along with everything mystical. Mysticism has replaced doctrine and the leaders of this apostate movement say Jesus died to save the earth, not individuals. Yet evangelicals are climbing on board the mystical train and it's leading to a train wreck in the church. How can you spot this in your church? Who are the names to avoid?
