Homelessness}

For more than a decade, federal homelessness policy has centered heavily on permanent housing placement, while the measures used to define and count homelessness have often obscured important differences between who is counted as homeless and who is being served through homelessness programs. Success will now be measured by whether people are getting better: recovering, working, reconnecting and reclaiming their lives.

Restoring the Natural Theology Tradition That Fueled Modern Science

_{Alistair McKitterick
October 5, 2026}

What is the state of the debate over evolution and intelligent design in the UK? And how will Discovery Institute’s new Cambridge initiative impact the debate going forward? On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid welcomes fellow Scotsman Dr. Alistair McKitterick, a Consulting Fellow at the Center for Science & Culture’s Whewell Center in Cambridge and a Program Director at London School of Theology. The pair will discuss how Alistair got interested in intelligent design, his work at the Whewell Center, and the state of the debate over evolution and intelligent design in the United Kingdom. Dr. McKitterick explains how intelligent design and natural theology provide a robust framework that challenges modern scientific materialism. It’s a fruitful worldview that …

Sam Brownback on Current Challenges to Religious Freedom

_{Wesley J. Smith
October 5, 2026}

Religious freedom — the ability to live and act according to one’s faith — is one of our most fundamental human rights. But as Western society has secularized, religious freedom seems to have been eclipsed by other concerns. Indeed, freedom of religion is too often devalued in the public square, and in some places in the world, is under direct — and even violent — assault. No one has put more thought into this urgent concern and what to do about it than Sam Brownback, returning for his sixth interview on Humanize. Sam Brownback served as Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom from February 2018 to January 2021. He served as Governor of Kansas from 2011 to 2018. Prior to that he represented his home state in the United States Senate and the House of …

Sunlight And Water Are Uniquely Fit to Sustain Life

_{Jonathan McLatchie
October 2, 2026}

If the sun didn’t power the photosynthesis of green plants, we wouldn’t be breathing right now. And without the finely tuned properties of water, Earth would be a frozen, lifeless wasteland. Coincidence? Or is something else at work? On this classic episode of ID The Future out of the archive, host Andrew McDiarmid continues his ongoing series with Dr. Jonathan McLatchie unpacking the many features of our planet and the cosmos that allow for advanced life like ours to exist. Here, the discussion turns to the life-friendly properties of sunlight and water. First, Dr. McLatchie gives us a chemistry class refresher by reviewing how plants produce oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Then he explains why all photochemistry on Earth depends on a tiny fraction of the …
