Does God see everything? Is He really watching the actions and events that compose the daily news?

This week, the team sits down with Dr. Charles McGowen to discuss the new film Jesus Revolution and what it was like to live through the Jesus Movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Does the film accurately reflect the experiences of Dr. McGowen and the members of our panel who were actually there? How can people looking for Jesus today find Him in the same way folks did back then? We're talking about revival in barns, buses, and even an old blue Corvair - right here on The Public Square®.

Is America starving for the truth or just wondering? A recent set of surveys show that nearly 65% of Americans would like to read the Bible but don't know how to start. That same survey also prompted us to ask the question: do more Americans read the Bible every week or watch cable news shows? We go looking for the answer this week on The Public Square®.

Have you heard about aborted baby remains being shipped to a site where they are burned to produce energy? Or the story of Justice Kennedy telling Christians they should surrender like the Germans did? Or the story of a boy that has been given access to the girls locker room? It may seem hard to believe, but those stories are actually true. This week on The Public Square®, the team discusses the absence of light in those stories listed above and how together we must turn the lights on in America.
