Truthspresso

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I examine a 2017 contributing article from the Huffington Post. David Wygant, a "dating and relationship coach" argues that we need to "redefine" marriage to fit modern society. How original! Wygant treats a lifetime commitment as an "illusion" and a childhood fairy tale. Since we live longer on average than our ancestors from the Middle Ages, we "grow" and...

Chelsea and I look at events surrounding, during, and after the Hunter Biden plea deal hearing in the U.S. District Federal case United States v. Biden . Wednesday, July 26, Hunter Biden was scheduled to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and a federal charge of illegal firearm possession. Critics called this a "sweetheart" plea deal. The hearing didn't go the way most of the w...

Chelsea and I look at some highlight's of Hunter Biden's sordid past that led to the U.S. District Federal case United States v. Biden . Wednesday, July 26, Hunter Biden was scheduled to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and a federal charge of illegal firearm possession. Critics called this a "sweetheart" plea deal. The hearing didn't go the way most of the world expected. Th...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I chat about Jesus and socialism while driving to work. A coworker recently made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 8 I look at the claim that Jesus taught "universal healthcare" by a few verses saying that He "healed everyone" in the gospels. I ask and answer three...

Chelsea and I look at the recent federal court case that is arguably the greatest battle over the First Amendment in United States history! In Missouri v. Biden , several silenced individuals join the states of Missouri and Louisiana to accuse a slate of individuals and administrative agencies of the federal government of aggressive censorship. From pandemic policies to Hunter Biden's laptop, the...

Chelsea and I look at the recent Supreme Court ruling on a case weighing the First Amendment's "free speech" clause against state "anti-discrimination" laws. In 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis , Christian web designer Lorie Smith wanted to expand her skills into the wedding business. Because she believes the Bible defines marriage as between one man and one woman, she sought a preemptive injunction in...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I chat about Jesus and socialism while driving to work. A coworker recently made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 7 I look at the three parables in Luke chapter 15 about "lost things": The lost sheep The lost coin The lost son (the prodigal son) These parables clea...

Chelsea and I look at the recent Supreme Court ruling on two related cases about "student loan forgiveness." In one case, students believed they were entitled to an unconstitutional handout for which they didn't qualify. In the other case, the U.S. President believed he was entitled to make promises for the unconstitutional program itself. The conservative majority argued that the HEROES Act of 20...

Chelsea and I look at the ruling in the recent Supreme Court ruling on two related cases about affirmative action in college admissions. Before addressing the quarreling between the justices over how to apply the Fourteenth Amendment to college admissions, I give my own opinion that the First Amendment's "freedom of association" should legally allow universities to determine their own admission po...

Chelsea and I had an exhibit for Castle Rock Women's Health at the annual Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference presented by Christian Home Educators of Colorado . The keynote speakers were Jeff Myers , Ruth Chou Simons , and Paul Washer . We talk about our experience there as we shared the truth of God's design for life in the womb with adults and children. On the last day of the conference I brou...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I challenge and encourage us with Ecclesiastes 7:10 not to long for the so-called "Good Old Days." We can deceive ourselves about the past as the Israelites did about their bondage to Egypt. We should treat every day as a blessing from God and boldly face today's battles. Today is the best day to be a Christian! ***  Castle Rock Women's Health  is...

Chelsea and I continue our series about the Christian revivals in American history. We begin the Second Great Awakening with an overview of the times, especially from 1830-1840. Following the War for Independence the colonies now had a federal compact. The expansion westward inspired more evangelism to native Americans. Methodism grew as circuit riders preached to crowds at outdoor "camp meetings....

In this REWIND episode of Truthspresso I combine two episodes into one! This is my full interview with Jamal Bandy, the host of the Prescribed Truth podcast on the Christian Podcast Community. Part 1: Jamal tells his story of how he was involved in an Apostolic Oneness church and how unexpected events led him to question what he was taught. Jamal learns the truth about God as Trinity and that the...

It's Memorial Day! While we remember those who died in wars fighting for freedoms, Chelsea and I see what the Bible has to say about memorials. We look at the history of Memorial Day, then observe three points from the Bible: Those who sacrificed their lives should be remembered Memorials should not be forgotten. Memorials should not be idolized. Scriptures Referenced: John 15:13 Psalm 116:15 Exod...

With family visiting and celebrating birthdays and no time to study to record a new episode, I dug up a recording from 2009, months after my wife and I were married. At this time my father-in-law was leading a Bible study with the family and an older couple who would visit. I took two weeks to guest host it and teach on a topic I was studying at the time. This was while the manuscript for my book...

To celebrate Mother's Day, Chelsea and I talk about a struggling single mom we know who has a bunch of kids and a baby on the way trying to make ends meet. As dire circumstance after dire circumstance threatens to crush her life, we share how we felt the pull of God's Word and necessity to give her something big and trust God with the results. See how a baby shower and some unexpected generosity l...

Chelsea and I continue our series about the Christian revivals in American history. John Wesley was an Anglican minister from Epworth, England. He and his brother Charles went to Oxford where John got bachelor's and master's degrees. While teaching at Oxford, John and Charles Wesley began the "Methodist" movement with George Whitefield. After spending two years evangelizing Native Americans in Sav...

I go solo this week with a short study to answer the question "Is Jesus still in the flesh?" Some who hold to Oneness theology may reason that Jesus dematerialized His resurrected, glorified body at His ascension because it makes more sense in a modalistic framework. From the Scriptures we look at three points: Did Jesus shed His resurrected body at His ascension? Is Jesus presently a mediator and...

Chelsea and I continue from last week's discussion as news is quickly flying over the abortion pill and abortion pill reversal . Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA. The question over the abortion pill mifepristone's legitimacy in heads back down to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals after the Supreme Court stayed all lower decisions. Oral arguments are scheduled May 17. Bella Health and Wellne...

The battle over mifepristone (part of the abortion pill regimen) is heating up! A federal district judge in Texas ruled in Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. FDA that the FDA illegally approved mifepristone in the year 2000. At the same time a judge ruled in Washington State v. FDA that, for the 17 states in the suit and D.C., mifepristone must be available as it is. The 5th Circuit Court of App...

Chelsea and I talk about the hope of the resurrection because of Christ's resurrection. As the Apostle Paul faced trials before governments, he declared that his hope of the resurrection is why he is being accused of wrongdoing. Christians today face ridicule and opposition because of this hope that we have. The resurrection is a hope most glorious, but the world hates it because it challenges the...

Chelsea and I conclude our coverage of Colorado's three radical pro-abortion bills:  SB23-188 ,  SB23-189 , and  SB23-190 . Last week the Colorado House of Representatives debated and rammed through three radical dystopian pro-abortion bills along party lines with no amendments. In short, the supporters want abortion on-demand at any time in pregnancy for any reason, and abortion pr...

Chelsea and I continue our coverage of Colorado's three radical pro-abortion bills: SB23-188 , SB23-189 , and SB23-190 . In this episode we walk through some details for the three bills and how they could destroy genuine health care in Colorado. Abortion providers become a new protected class immune from criminal charges, even if women die in their "care." Insurance programs must specially subsidi...

We found out last Monday evening that the Colorado legislature is ramming through a package of three radical pro-abortion bills: SB23-188 , SB23-189 , and SB23-190 . The most dangerous and impacting to pregnancy resource centers is SB23-190: Deceptive Trade Practice Pregnancy-related Service . The language of this bill could penalize pregnancy centers for trying to advertise their services to help...

Chelsea and I talk about current news of The Satanic Temple expanding programs in elementary schools, including in a small town in Colorado. Lucien Greaves co-founded The Satanic Temple as a religious institution to claim religious rights recognized under the Constitution. The institution has seven secular humanistic tenants that sound reasonable until they are applied to political causes like abo...
