Guests
Bodie Hodge
Speaker | Author - Answers in Genesis
Bodie is a speaker, writer, and researcher for Answers in Genesis. He attended Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC) and received a BS and MS (in 1996 and 1998 respectively) there in mechanical engineering. His specialty was a subset of mechanical engineering based in advanced materials processing, particularly starting powders. He conducted research for his master’s degree through a grant from Lockheed Martin and developed a New Method of Production of Submicron Titanium Diboride. The new process was able to make titanium diboride cheaper, faster and with higher quality. This technology is essential for some nanotechnologies.
During his years at SIUC, Bodie continued his personal study of biblical apologetics and began teaching this topic to a junior high Sunday school class. While at SIUC, he was the president of one of the few Christian student organizations, Christians Unlimited, and was also an officer in the student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
After earning his master’s degree, Bodie worked as a mechanical engineer for Grain Systems Incorporated, was a visiting instructor in mechanical engineering at SIUC, and worked as a test engineer through Aerotek Engineering for Caterpillar, Inc., in Peoria, Illinois at the Peoria Proving Ground.

World Religions and Cults Volume 3 (Atheistic and Humanistic Religions)
The final book in this powerful series focuses on the shocking influence of atheistic and humanistic religions, including Agnosticism, Nazism, Scientology, Communism, and Naturalistic Religions!
The information within this volume is so valuable for the Church in the Western World where anti-God and pro-evolution religions are expanding rapidly. Written to refute those religions and show how they fail, unlike most books on world religions, this title dives into the secular nature of these false doctrines and shows:
The need to be able to spot their tenets and oppose them instead of allowing them to subtly infiltrate our Christianity and undermine us.
How you can powerfully refute these humanistic religions and cults.
How to effectively present the gospel to people who have been deceived.

Coach Joe Kennedy
Football Coach
Coach Joe Kennedy is former head coach for the junior varsity football team at Bremerton High School in Washington. After watching the film “Facing the Giants,” Coach Kennedy made a personal commitment to thank God for his players after every game. Since his first football game in 2008, Coach Kennedy walked to the 50 yard line after games, took a knee, and prayed. In fall 2015, the school district ordered him to stop praying, or he would be disciplined. Choosing to stay faithful to his commitment to God, Coach Kennedy continued to pray, leading the school district to suspend and later fire him, ending his coaching career. Now, Coach Kennedy is fighting to get his job back. First Liberty Institute filed a lawsuit on his behalf so he can continue coaching with his constitutional rights intact. All Coach Kennedy seeks is the ability to offer a brief, private prayer at the 50-yard line after the game.
Trump’s Rollback of Regulations
As President Donald Trump reaches his 100th day in the White House on April 29, he will have worked with Congress to rescind more regulations using the Congressional Review Act than any other president.
“We’re excited about what we’re doing so far. We’ve done more than that’s ever been done in the history of Congress with the CRA,” Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., told The Daily Signal in an interview, referring to the law called the Congressional Review Act.
The Congressional Review Act, the tool Trump and lawmakers are using, allows Congress to repeal executive branch regulations. Once the House and Senate pass a joint resolution disapproving of a particular regulation, the president signs the measure.
Passed in 1996 in concert with the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act and then-Speaker Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America reform agenda, the Congressional Review Act is what the Congressional Research Service calls “an oversight tool that Congress may use to overturn a rule issued by a federal agency.”
The law also prevents agencies from creating similar rules with similar language.
Until this year, the law had been used successfully only once — in 2001, when Congress and President George W. Bush rescinded a regulation regarding workplace injuries promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration during the Clinton administration.
