Today's conversation is with Ryan Anderson, an expert on family, social, and cultural issues and how they affect our highly politicized world today. Anderson has advice for how Christians can face the increasing opposition to traditional values in America. He also argues that simply standing by and hoping for the best is no longer good enough — it's time to stand up and join the discourse, activel...

Where injustice exists, is it possible for Christians on both the Left and Right to agree to find solutions? Justin Giboney, Democrat and founder of the AND Campaign, joins us to offer his view on ways to pursue bipartisan agreement on today’s hot-button political and social issues. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs has the perfect subscription box for both boys, & girls!

Today we're talking to Pastor Jonathan Pokluda of Harris Creek Church in Waco, Texas. We'll be discussing the world of dating and relationships within Christianity. Jonathan has insight on whether Christians should use dating apps, as well as encouragement for those who may not know that God calls many people to remain single in their lives. --- Today's Sponsor: Freedom Project Academy has perfect...

Today we'll be answering audience-submitted questions! We'll talk about whether Christians can or should get Botox treatments, whether Christians should follow the crowd and put pronouns in their bios, what the future of America holds for all of us, and a few other great topics as well. --- Past Episodes Mentioned: Ep 335 | Understanding the Biblical Telos of Gender https://apple.co/3wXPs9a --- Bu...

Today we have the honor of speaking with Victor Davis Hanson, a military historian and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Hanson is an expert on postmodernism, its history, and how this progressive way of thinking is slowly but surely working its way into American society. Today he offers tools to spot and combat the lies this destructive philosophy represents. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's...

Were you or was someone you know raised to believe that the King James Version of the Bible is the only "correct" version? People have many different reasons for believing this about the KJV, and today we'll delve into the history and theology of the matter to see if there's any truth to the KJV-only way of thinking. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs have the perfect subscription box for both...

Today we're excited to speak with Pastor James Coates, who thankfully has been released from jail after refusing to comply with Canada's COVID-19 guidelines. Authorities in Edmonton, Alberta, demanded that Pastor Coates stop holding his church service at full capacity, but he found that to be in violation of his duty to God and the church congregation. We'll talk about what it was like for Pastor...

Today we're talking education. The Association of Christian Schools International has partnered with UnifiED. UnifiED is a group that seems to have good, Biblical goals, but it's worth exploring the connections the organization seems to have to the tenets of Critical Race Theory. And, in Virginia and Texas, radical curriculums on race and sex are being pushed by the progressive Left, and any paren...

Today we’re going to talk about the drama surrounding self-help author Rachel Hollis, as well as a few other crazy things we’re seeing from progressive Christianity. The problem with these self-help gurus is that if your problems are originating from inside yourself, you need to turn to something outside yourself for help. Specifically, God. Hollis made a video that drew ire from both the Right an...

Today we're focusing on vaccine passports, what they are, and what they could mean for our freedom. Some countries already have vaccine programs in place, requiring people to show proper documentation in order to participate in daily life. It doesn't take a genius to see that this is a very dark path. To give perspective on the technological side of vaccine passports, we talk to Naomi Wolf, author...

Yesterday was Easter, and most of us were spending time with our families, thinking about the ultimate sacrifice made by God and Jesus. However, progressive Christians on Twitter were as active as ever, offering their wrong opinions on how Easter and Jesus' resurrection are actually about being anti-capitalist, or anti-racist, or something. These are aspects of liberation theology, a wholly un-bib...

Today we're focusing on good news in the U.S. and around the world. It's almost Good Friday, so of course we're aware of the best news of all: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But there's some good news on Earth, too. The Left is trying to push its ideology in school, but there are lots of organizations popping up whose mission is to oppose things like critical race theory in school. Ch...

Today we're going over the Derek Chauvin trial and the tragic events that led up to it. We also look at some of the statistics that reveal the truth about police brutality in the United States. Remember, God commands us to be impartial when administering justice, but many on the Left will view Chauvin as guilty no matter what the facts show. --- Today's Sponsor: "ABC - Life in the Womb" is a fun &...

Today we're mainly talking about Georgia and the changes to election law that Governor Brian Kemp and Republicans are pushing through. The GOP says that the new rules will make elections more secure, but Democrats like Stacey Abrams are saying the opposite, that this will only make voter suppression worse. The Left wants you to think this is literally Jim Crow 2.0, but is that really the case? To...

Over the weekend we got a ton of requests to talk about the rapper Lil Nas X and the Satan shoes he released for sale. The shoes feature a pentagram pendant, a Bible verse about Satan, and a drop of human blood in the sole (gross). While it's true this is an example of our society's rapid moral decline, it's also possible to see this in an encouraging light. We Christians know that God can use any...

We start today by taking stock of what’s going on in America under Biden. Seems like nothing is going well and progressive Christians aren’t getting anything they wanted from the new administration, especially when it comes to the southern border and abortion policy. But it’s not all bad news today! Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church, who was jailed for holding services at his church in viol...

How do Christians think through these issues? Another mass shooting — this one in Boulder, Colorado — was originally called an act of white supremacy until it was reported that the shooter isn't white. Plus, talking to Cam Edwards, host of the "Bearing Arms" podcast, about the more technical side of things: What gun was used? What category is it in? What laws do Dems want to pass, and would those...

Today we’re talking to Kelsey Bolar, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum, about two important topics. First, South Dakota governor Kristi Noem’s decision to backtrack on legislation that would protect girls’ and women’s sports. This has disappointed many conservatives, wondering if she’s "sold out" to the NCAA. Then, Kelsey talks about the PRO Act, a piece of federal legislation...

Today we're going to discuss a heavy topic: the horrific shooting in Atlanta last week, the allegations of white supremacy surrounding the situation, and the truth behind the alleged rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. As Christians, we know each life has infinite value because we are all image bearers of God, regardless of our skin color. So, it's wrong to try to quantify the evil perpetrated in Atla...

Today, we’re discussing the growing border crisis happening under the Biden administration. It’s recently been revealed that thousands more migrants are coming to the U.S. than previously thought. Does the U.S. have an obligation to let them all in? Christians on the Left often quote Exodus to "prove" why America should have open borders or more progressive immigration law. This, however, is a mis...

Today is "Women Wednesday"! (Why? Because we said so.) We'll be talking about a few news stories about women, as well as discussing the biblical idea of womanhood. Was the Grammy performance we saw from Cardi B empowering to women? There's also the drama surrounding Tucker Carlson and women in the military. We get it, and we agree, women are awesome. But maybe, just maybe, there are some jobs more...

Pope Francis just made headlines for affirming the biblical definition of marriage. This has put him at odds with progressives, who only deign to tolerate Christianity so long as it doesn’t interfere with their politics. However, as Christians know, earthly marriage reflects a spiritual reality: God is the one who gets to say what it is and isn’t. We also discuss psychology professor and author Jo...

Today we are discussing recent comments by Tim Keller, famous theologian and pastor. Pastor Tim Keller has been diagnosed with cancer, and his recent article in the Atlantic sheds light on how he is dealing with the finality of earthly life. His profound thoughts in this area should be of help to any Christians who finds their faith shaken by the suffering that death brings. We also discuss his ta...

We start by speaking with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul about his recent legislative victory, which prevented Planned Parenthood from receiving Payment Protection Plan money that it really didn’t qualify for. Sen. Paul has also introduced legislation to improve education across America — something you’d think Democrats could get behind. Then, we discuss a rather questionable sermon in which the pastor c...
