Based With Brett Craig

How should Christians regard the modern state of Israel? Increasingly, this is an important question to ponder as Christians, as we see our culture wrestling with this issue more and more in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death. In this podcast, I discuss what bible says about the nature of God and the nature of his covenants and how that relates to the modern state of Israel. This is a public episode...

In this podcast, I discuss the condescension, pride and condemnation of the woke progressive left. How pride blinds, which is why there’s been no true introspection on why they lost the election - no admission of where they went wrong - just an arrogant dismissal of over half of America, who chose to vote differently. I discuss the Pharisees, the archetypical group in the New Testament that’s most...

In this podcast, I discuss how it’s impossible to have a conversation with folks who are voting for today’s Democratic Party. Whenever someone on the left (family, friends, work colleague etc.) engages me or vice versa in some kind of exchange regarding this election, I discover, repeatedly, they never discuss policy or refute the substance of what your saying, but instead go for character assassi...

My exchange with ad industry veteran, Cameron Day, demonstrates - once again - how the woke cult makes even decent people cruel towards others and ultimately divides us all. I discuss how Jesus experienced a similar phenomena (to wokeness) and how he confronted hypocritical religious leaders who used their ideology/dogma to gain power over - and even abuse - others. My video response to Cameron Da...

Last week, you were a conspiracy theorist if you believed it. This week, you're an idiot if you don't. Why the coordinated media/gov drop of the “Lab Leak” story should give us all pause. And why the “Lab Leak” story might be used to drive us towards an unpopular war in Ukraine and to support a WHO pandemic treaty that will subvert U.S. sovereignty. Thanks for listening to The Big Picture With Bre...

Thanks for listening to The Big Picture With Brett Craig (formerly Adwoke)! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. In this episode, I detail the many reasons for my skepticism and caution regarding the escalating war in Ukraine. And a perspective on Romans 13:1, which warns us that God appoints and institutes authority - and how this might apply to foreign entanglements like...

My Twitter Poll about the “He Gets Us” campaign. It’s split down the middle. Also, AOC criticizes the “He Gets Us” campaign and suggests it’s fascist. Adweek says the “He Gets Us” campaign is neither here nor there. I agree. This is a public episode.

Media No-Fly Zones are when the woke and the media conspire to create an inviolable airspace around a particular issue, where social stigma and sanction await all who dare violate the zone. I’ll discuss why it’s important to pay attention to these No-Fly Zones - and be willing to broach these topics. I’ll also discuss how each of us also can have personal No-Fly Zones - areas in our life that need...

Increasingly, we’re being told that it’s insensitive or wrong to ask very basic, legitimate questions - and I make the case that it’s happening again with the Damar Hamlin story. Repeatedly, establishment narratives are instantaneously formed about events like Hamlin’s collapse, then corporate media, in mindless lockstep, disseminates these narratives - and anyone who questions the consensus is in...

In this podcast, I discuss why wokeness is fast-becoming the biggest - and most dangerous - cult of all time. I talk about the movie, The Bodysnatchers , and how the woke mind virus reminds me of this disturbing movie. We will examine the parallels between wokeness and cults, as well as the fundamental spiritual blindness that drives the woke phenomenon. And most importantly, I discuss what can be...

According to Elon Musk, Apple is considering banning Twitter from its App Store. I discuss how tragically ironic that would be. After all, Apple is the brand who once stood up to Big Brother in what is regarded to be the greatest commercial of all time,“1984”, (by my former agency, TBWA/Chiat/Day). Yet now it seems Apple has, indeed, become Big Brother. Today, the world’s biggest company suppresse...

In this podcast, I discuss the DEI/Social Justice worldview which makes gratitude impossible and, ultimately, leads to hopelessness. I share an interesting anecdote about “White Fragility” author, Robin DiAngelo. I talk about the importance of giving thanks to God - despite the many problems we have in America, in the world and all the setbacks we each face. And I’ll explain why we can - as James...

In this podcast, I explain how Corporate DEI initiatives exploit everyone involved, including, ironically, the very people they claim they are helping (People of Color). I use, as an example, Chief Experience Design Officer, Walter T. Geer’s Oct. LinkedIn post in which he says “NO WHITE EXECS ARE SHOWING UP” to panels in which POC speakers share their perspectives. I explain why I think Walter has...

In this podcast, I discuss the total unpersoning of Ye West by corporate America for his anti-Semitic comments. I contrast Ye’s swift erasure with the deafening, society-wide silence regarding the ubiquitous, mainstreamed anti-white racism which permeates high culture and enjoys full institutional backing. I will give example after example of shocking, overt anti-white racism in journalism, social...

In today’s podcast, I discuss how DEI enters an institution, presenting itself as a “brave” or “healing” “conversation” about race, when, in fact, there’s no real dialogue happening. Outcomes of the so-called “discussion” are already predetermined and any dissent against DEI’s politicized edicts is never taken seriously. I go deeper on my personal experience with DEI, the gaslighting, bullying and...

In this episode, I discuss the rising tide of anti-white rhetoric being injected into corporate America via DEI. I’ll unpack what “whiteness” means, according the woke, and how it’s being used to divide and control Americans. I also discuss why I think corporations allowing this anti-white language is incredibly dangerous. Click below to see some of the anti-white articles I mention on the podcast...

In this podcast, I discuss Virgin Atlantic’s new gender-neutral uniform policy and launch commercial. I’ll examine why it’s a case study in how Diversity, Equity and Inclusion makes companies turn inward and narcissistically ponder their own brand belly buttons. The result? The customer and service becomes an afterthought, people tune-out and the brand message becomes conformist. Click below to se...

In this episode, I discuss how we’ve moved from body positivity, to Fat Acceptance and how brands are cashing in on this destructive trend. I’ll discuss capitalism’s amorality and its ability to magically adapt to cultural and political pressures in the pursuit of the almighty dollar. Plus, I examine how our culture has redefined love to mean blind affirmation. And finally, I explore what real lov...

In this podcast, I discuss my article “The Drugs Don’t Work”, a (much-delayed) rebuttal to Adage’s highly irresponsible article back in Oct of ‘21, entitled, “ WHY CREATIVES SHOULD MICRODOSE LSD AND CANNABIS BEFORE BIG PITCHES ”. * I tell the story of how I used substances to cope with my public speaking fears * I discuss why I think using substances to perform better is a trap * How God most ofte...

In this podcast, I discuss a recent AdAge article entitled, “Marketers, Please Stop Calling me Latinx” by Cuban-American, Diana Brooks. I talk about why I believe the article didn’t go nearly far enough in challenging “Latinx”. Also, I’ll explore what’s really behind this term (critical gender theory). Finally, we’ll highlight the hypocrisy of how the far left, who, ironically, complains about the...

*Brought to you by our friends at DEI-Mart. It’s back to school and time to shop for your unconsciously biased child. So head to DEI-Mart. Where social justice is always in fashion. On this week’s podcast, what is racial color blindness exactly? Is a color blind society possible or even desirable? DEI, CRT & anti-racist thought leaders say no. Are they right? What about Martin Luther King’s vision...
