All The Things

Religious institutions are increasingly threatened with lawsuits, smear cam­paigns, hostile media coverage, adversarial legislation, aggressive government administrative action, and more. Our friends at the Religious Freedom Institute will share strategies to help churches, Christians schools and ministries to remain faithful to their core convictions, identity, and mission.

Should Christians support the existence of Jewish temples or Islamic mosques? What about the rise of displays by the Satanic Temple? How do we make sense of religious freedom in a pluralistic society? Guest: Dr. Mark David Hall, professor of political science at Regent University

"Community Schools" are continuing to expand in 2024. However, we want to empower parents to know how to decode this movement. Parents deserve to know exactly what these are about. Guest: Kelly Ske

The on-going war in Israel has raised several questions for us. What involvement should Christians have with war? Is there a biblical case for Christians to participate in the military, given that it could mean bombing innocent civilians? After all, didn’t Jesus command us to love our enemies and “turn the other cheek”? We asked Dr. Eric Patterson, the President of the Religious Freedom Institute,...

Join Monique and Krista for the LIVE SEASON 6 kickoff! We will be talk to our friend, Katy Faust, about practical strategies for raising conservative kids in the midst of "woke" ideology, even if they attend public school.

Monique and Krista wrap up season 5 of All The Things!

***Part 3 of our Series on Human Trafficking*** Human trafficking in our neighborhoods, our churches and our homes We are concluding our series of discussions about the issue of human trafficking. In this episode, we will hear from a former stay-at-home mom who now helps victims of human trafficking get to safety and begin the healing process. Carrie also discusses how trafficking comes into the h...

***Part 2 of our Series on Human Trafficking*** An Insider Explains How Human Traffickers are Caught As we've been researching questions about the film, Sound of Freedom, we have interacted with various insiders who work in the field of human trafficking. Our guest for this discussion has worked in a human trafficking law enforcement unit in a major U.S. county. We will get a glimpse inside their...

During the month of October, we are facilitating a series of discussions about the issue of human trafficking. In this episode, we will go behind the scenes of the Orange County Rescue Mission, a ministry that does full wrap-around service to help those coming out human trafficking to heal and hopefully find ultimate freedom in the Gospel.

We hadn't even heard the term "Christian Nationalism" until about two years ago. Now, there is a growing division among Christians about how to think about the relationship between faith and government. Last December, we had a discussion over dinner with our friend Sam Sey about the issue. Now we are going to have a public conversation to share our thoughts so far.

We are excited to finally have our friend, Christopher Yuan, on the show. He will share a little about his journey out of homosexuality, as well as his perspectives on the "Side B" approach to helping those who struggle with same sex attraction. This is a very important discussion, especially for parents and pastors.

In our effort to push back against critical social justice, Christians can't forget to clearly articulate the biblical case for justice. Monique and Krista have each chosen three issues to highlight that they think are a current injustice, according to God's standards.

Congress is continuing to have more hearings about UFOs. We'll be taking a closer look at the religious component to alien encounters. It is important for Christians to give some thought to this issue, as it is going to continue to be in the news and many of our friends and family are trying to make sense of their experiences. Guest: Kenneth Samples, co-author, Lights in the Sky and the Little Gre...

We often talk about the fact we think there is a place in the Christian life to engage in public advocacy. But something that's even more important than public advocacy is for every Christian to understand that the pathway to solving America’s real problems lies in evangelism. Changing policies or electing better politicians won’t be enough for lasting change. We must preach the Gospel with increa...

Many of us have heard snippets about the Supreme Court's recent decision about Affirmative Action. We've asked Christian attorney, Hohn Cho, who has carefully researched this case and will report on his findings. Why does this case matter for Christians?

We are honored to be joined tomorrow night by Christian philosopher and social reformer, Vishal Mangalwadi. We will discuss the role the Bible played in shaping India––and America. We will explore the influence of missionaries, India's caste system, power, the impact of the British empire on slavery, widow burning and infanticide, the revolutionary nature of the distribution of the Bible, and more...

The topic of reparations is hard. It's emotional. And polarizing. But it's a question that we get at outreaches...a LOT. So we are finally going to talk in public about where we are with this issue.

Back in 2020, the Riesco family had their business burned down in the BLM riots in Chicago. Even though they had been long-time advocates in the community, they were cancelled virtually overnight for saying "all black lives matter." We will talk to brother Juan about his family's experience and how they, by God's grace, "uncancelled" themselves. We will also find out what they learned and how they...

JUNETEENTH EPISODE The frequent narrative is that Africans were introduced to Christianity as a result of slavery. But we have heard rumors that this might not actually be true. It's quite possible that Christianity had spread from northeast Africa to Central Africa long before the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. We will do a deep dive on this situation and try to uncover the truth. Guest: Dr. H C Fel...

The culture is telling us that the path to unity includes "doing the work" of antiracism. How does this compare with the Bible? Monique and Krista answer one of the most common questions they get when we are on the road.

One of the consequences of the events in 2020 was a great reshuffling of churches. Many people left their church, looking for a more biblically faithful alternative. We know that some of our followers have had a hard time finding a new church or have wondered whether to start a house church. Our friend, Uncle Kunkle (aka Brett Kunkle from MAVEN), is coming on to talk about his family's effort to s...

A few weeks ago, Elon Musk and 1000s of other tech leaders started circulating a petition calling for a PAUSE on all major AI developments. This included calling for a moratorium on ChatGPT upgrades. We want to help equip you to think about the rise of Artificial Intelligence technology and how it is already changing our lives. How should Christians think about this issue? Guests: Dr. Joe Miller a...

Biblical archaeology reporter, Bryan Windle, will lead us through the latest discoveries about the historical evidence for the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

We will be talking to Aunty Nancy about her forthcoming book, The Toxic War on Masculinity. She will bring all the receipts concerning the importance of men if a civilization is to long endure. And why men are struggling. Link to Nancy's new book: The Toxic War on Masculinity https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801075734

Epistemology is one of those words your college professor wrote on the board while you were trying to stay awake in class. And you wondered, “When am I ever going to need this information?” Well, today is the day. Standpoint epistemology is transforming how we study, interpret and preach Scripture. It’s everywhere. We heard Doug Groothuis give a great summary of the issue last fall at ETS. So we a...
