Kerby welcomes Troy Carl, vice president of Faith Comes By Hearing. Troy tells us more about the Military BibleStick (MBS), a small digital audio player pre-loaded with the New Testament and specially selected Psalms for U.S. troops. The device is about the size of a pack of gum and is rugged enough to withstand tough weather conditions, can be used in low-light situations and easily fits into uniform pockets.

Up next is Gene Policinski of the Newseum Institute. He talks about the State of the First Amendment survey.

In the second hours we hear from George Yancey (PhD, University of Texas) who is professor of sociology at the University of North Texas, specializing in race/ethnicity, biracial families and anti-Christian bias. He discusses his book, Hostile Environment.

Hostile Environment Understanding and Responding to Anti-Christian Bias
"The only good Christian is a dead Christian."

In our heated cultural environment, comments like this are increasingly common. Sometimes Christians are too quick to claim that they are being persecuted. But Christians aren't just being paranoid or alarmist. Anti-Christian hostility is real.

Sociologist George Yancey explores the phenomenon of Christianophobia, an intense animosity against Christians and the Christian faith. Among some circles, opposition to Christianity manifests much like other historic prejudices like anti-Semitism or racial discrimination. While Christianophobia in the United States does not typically rise to the violent levels of religious persecution in other parts of the world, Christians are often still treated in ways that perpetuate negative stereotypes and contribute to culture war acrimony.
