Educate For Life With Kevin Conover

 Recently in the news there has been the story of the ISIS bride. Hoda Muthana left Alabama at the age of 19 to join ISIS of her own free will. Now she wants to come home, with her young son, but whether she will be able to get back into the United States is completely out of her hands. Muthana, now 24, insists she has the right to come back, and she's pleading for a second chance. The Trump administration, however, does not consider her a U.S. citizen. So, should she be allowed to return to the US? Here today on Educate For Life is Pastor George Saieg to provide a unique perspective on this story.Born and raised in Sudan Pastor George Saieg is all too familiar with Islam. Now the founder and director of Ministry to Muslims, his lifelong experiences with Islam have given him a burden to reach Muslims with  the truth of the Gospel. God revived Saieg’s passion in 2001, with a vision. While Saieg stood in a shopping center parking lot in Southern California, he envisioned

  Teachers in America are under attack by the very organization that was set up to protect them. There are stories nation wide of teachers who have been harassed and intimidated by the Teachers Unions. But now that the Janus Case has passed, those teachers now have the freedom to leave the union but still many do not. Here on Educate For Life today Kevin has as his guest Rebecca Friedricks to help break it all down and explain what is actually going on. Rebecca Friedrichs has been an elementary school educator in Southern California for 28 years.  Since the first day of her career in 1988, she’s been concerned about the policies and politics of the teachers’ union she’s forced to financially support. Although she “opted out” of the political dues for the first ten years of her career, she later joined as a full member in order to gain a voice because “agency fee payers” lose all rights of membership, including the right to voice their opinions and vote within collective bargaining. She served on her

Polls suggest that 45% of Americans believe in ghosts. Around the world there is rich lore of people encountering entities or the spirits of loved ones long gone. Yet in today’s culture of materialism and science, the majority of people believe that the paranormal does not exist. So, what, if any, is the evidence that the paranormal exists? Today on Educate For Life, Kevin talks with Nichole Strickland, a paranormal researcher. She founded the San Diego Paranormal Research Society. They investigate and research happenings in the San Diego area to determine whether or not it can be paranormal. Nicole Strickland currently resides in San Diego, California, and has been innately intrigued with the paranormal since childhood and has studied the field for many years.  She has been actively investigating historical landmarks and private residences for paranormal activity since the early 2000s, after a profound experience with the spirit of her beloved grandmother.  She is the Founder and Director of t

Ever think that sex education has a link directly to abortion? In the words of Planned Parenthood, “[We must] be ready as educators and parents to help young people obtain sex satisfaction before marriage . . .and we must be ready to provide young boys and girls with the best contraception measures available so they will have the necessary means to achieve sexual satisfaction without having to risk possible pregnancy.” Today on Educate For Life, Kevin has as his guest Dr. Judith Reisman to illuminate the growing problem with abortion and sexual education. As a researcher and author, historian and teacher, Judith Reisman has focused on pornography as a pandemic, addicting men, women and children and upon exposing Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey's fraudulent sex science research and education. Dr. Kinsey is considered one of the pioneers of the sexual revolution. Dr. Reisman’s research aims squarely at Dr. Kinsey’s research and demonstrates how it has degraded and damaged our society, particularly the impressionable

 India is the second most populous country in the world and the seventh largest by land mass. The majority of the people practice Hinduism. A small minority of the people are Christians. As a mission field, India is extremely dangerous and in some areas it is a crime to convert to another religion. Today on Educate For Life Kevin has as his guests Pastor Alexander John and John Mathai. They are with India Christian Fellowship in San Diego. ICF's beginnings can be traced to 2003, when three families began to come together regularly to pray. For many months, these gatherings took place on alternate Saturdays. The Lord directed more families to this fellowship from those migrating to San Diego for work. As the number of attending families increased, they began to meet in homes on a weekly basis. They also support missionaries in India. India is an area with unique dangers and challenges and today you will hear all about.

 Recently, in New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a bill that legalizes abortion up to nine months. How did we get to a point in this country where this is acceptable? The very definition of being a human has been changed. What is the difference between a fetus 2 days before birth and a baby 2 days after birth? Virtually nothing except for location. If a baby is inside the womb it is legal to kill it but after birth, it is considered infanticide.

Today on Educate For Life Kevin will make the argument that none of these things change the value of the life of an unborn child.

Is America a Christian Nation? Is it different from any other country in the world? In today’s culture these two questions are being hotly debated. Today on Educate For Life Kevin will dig into some facts that will help you answer these questions. Brazil has had 7 Constitutions since 1822. Poland has had 6 constitutions since 1921. Afghanistan has had 5 constitutions since 1923. Russia has had 4 constitutions since 1918. France is currently on its 15th constitution. America has used the same Constitution for over 200 years. That is more than any other nation on earth. Why is that? Could it possibly be because it contains Biblical principles that make it exceptional strong? A majority of the founding fathers believed in the Bible. When framing the Constitution they quoted and referenced the Bible and other writings that also referenced the Bible. One of the most reference writings for the Constitution was “The Two Treatises of Government” by John Locke. In that document he references
