ESSAY: ICE is Hiring the "Worst of the Worst" To Do Donald Trump's Unthinkable Work
24.07.2026 | 13 Min.
ICE agents have shot and killed two men during immigration enforcement encounters—Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine. This video examines the conflicting accounts, witness statements, and unanswered questions surrounding both ICE shootings.

Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda depends on thousands of ICE agents carrying out increasingly aggressive immigration enforcement operations. But what happens when the people being targeted are not “the worst of the worst”—and when the agents involved are not wearing body cameras?

For Christians, this is also a test of whether our stated beliefs about human dignity, justice, and the image of God can survive contact with political power.

Three Small Men: Trump's Pathetic Speech, Hegseth's Insecurity, and Doug Wilson's Brutishness (with Adam Swenson)
19.07.2026 | 1 Std. 45 Min.
Pat Kahnke and Adam Swenson examine three expressions of the same “theology of strength”: Trump’s speech attacking election integrity, Pete Hegseth’s mandatory testosterone testing for soldiers over 30, and Doug Wilson’s theology of masculine domination.

We’ll fact-check Trump’s claims about election security, Chris Krebs and CISA, the SAVE Act, the SAVE America Act, and mail-in voting. Then we’ll connect Hegseth’s obsession with military masculinity and lethality to Doug Wilson’s Christian nationalist vision of war, hierarchy, and male authority. What happens when power, aggression, and domination are mistaken for Christian virtue?
Real History with Pat & Ken, Episode 1: MAGA's Dangerous End-Times Politics, When the Rapture Becomes a Weapon! (featuring Dr. Matthew Taylor)
18.07.2026 | 24 Min.
For 1,800 years, no Christian had ever heard of the Rapture. So how did a 19th-century idea become the engine driving MAGA's end-times politics — and why does it matter for the wars being fought right now?

In this episode, Pat Kahnke and Ken Napzok trace the real history of the Rapture: where it actually came from, the man who invented it, and how a doctrine that started as private comfort got turned into a political weapon. This isn't about whether you believe in the Second Coming. It's about what happens when a specific reading of end-times prophecy gives political power a theological license to crave catastrophe instead of peace.
CFP LIVE, Episode 33: The Death of Lindsey Graham and Conspiracies around Mitch McConnell
15.07.2026 | 1 Std. 42 Min.
The death of Senator Lindsey Graham and the alleged death of Senator Mitch McConnell have kicked up a dust cloud of conspiracies and conversations on how to speak of the dead when you did not agree with them in life. Pat Kahnke discusses all this and more on Culture, Faith, and Politics live!
