What is the Woke Right? | 6/15/24 | #181 15.06.2024

Last month, we did a show about the "woke right." And then our friend, Alisa Childers, re-released it on her podcast platform. Since then, we've received a lot of feedback about the show and continued to research the issues. Some people say the "woke right" isn't a thing. Others say, it's "absolutely a thing." It's a lot to process. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we are trying to have...

The Struggles of Trauma, Mental Illness & the Christian Life | 6/1/2024 | #180 31.05.2024

There is so much confusion among Christians about the issue of counseling and mental illness. Some think that it undermines the authority of Scripture to even see a therapist. Others seem to lack discernment about how to prevent therapy becoming a gateway to unbiblical life choices. We've asked our friend, Dr. David King, professor in social work at Indiana Wesleyan University, to come on the show...

The Truth About Birth Control and Chemical Abortion | 5/25/24 | #179 25.05.2024

A key theme on the podcast this year is justice for the pre-born. We are exploring the issue from a variety of different angles. The overturning of Roe hasn't automatically increased safety for the pre-born. Chemical abortions are on the rise. We've asked our friend, OB-GYN Dr. Chris Cirucci to come back on the show and explain the dangers of chemical abortion, as well as the science behind birth...

The Shell Game of Identifying the Oppressed and Marginalized | 5/18/24 | #178 18.05.2024

Whenever we hear pastors talk about the "marginalized" or the "oppressed," we usually cringe a little inside. A deeply biblical idea has been co-opted by the culture and morphed to mean something completely different. We want to have a public conversation about this confusion and see if we help straighten out what has become a very crooked line by bringing the issues back to God's standards.

The Rise of the Woke Right | 5/11/24 | #177 11.05.2024

We have been watching the rise of some very....odd....posts on Twitter that sound an awful lot like BLM sounded a few years ago. Only they are on the right. We have been very confused about what to make of these posts. Kevin is coming back on the show to break it all down for us in a way that we (and you!) can understand.

Crash Course on Israel and the Middle East | 4/20/24 | #176 20.04.2024

What is happening in the Middle East right now? What are the implications of Israel's recent retaliation against Iran? We asked our friend, Kevin Briggins, to come on and help us understand the situation. His background in Middle East Studies helped us differentiate between facts and fear. In the second segment, Monique and Krista discussed recent changes to Title IX.

Answering Questions About the Faith & Culture | 4/13/24 | #175 13.04.2024

Monique is joined by guest co-host, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, and together they will answer questions we have received from kids and teens about living as a Christian in today's culture.

Unpopular Opinions | 4/6/24 | #174 06.04.2024

Monique and Krista spill the tea about their unpopular opinions that they don't really talk about in public....until now.

The Path to Globalism | 3/23/24 | #173 23.03.2024

The annual meeting for the World Economic Forum was a few weeks ago. We want to catch you up about what the WEF is and what they are trying to accomplish. If you’ve heard the terms “the great reset,” or the “fourth Industrial Revolution” but don’t really know what that means be sure to tune in. It’s a globalist movement that is reshaping our everyday lives and redefining what constitutes as the pu...

Monique's South African Backstory | 3/16/24 | #172 10.03.2024

We are answering the most frequent question we get on the road. For the first time, we are having a public conversation about Monique's backstory and how she came to be a missionary in South Africa, her emergency transition off the mission field and why she went back, even though she thought she might die there for the sake of the Gospel.

Preparing for Costly Conviction in the Workplace | 3/9/24 | #171 09.03.2024

We are getting more and more people writing into the ministry asking for help to think through where the line in the sand is for them when it comes to their jobs conflicting with their religious convictions. We will talk to our friend John Stonestreet, President of the Colson Center, to get his perspective on what Christians should do to prepare for costly conviction in the workplace.

Is Interethnic Adoption Racist? | 3/2/24 | #170 02.03.2024

Christians generally agree that the Bible commands us to take care of orphans. But there is robust discussion about what qualifies as being in the child's best interest. In recent years, the principles of Critical Adoption Theory have shaped the policies and practices for many adoption agencies. There is a growing sentiment, even among Christian adoption agencies, that interethnic adoptions are of...

God’s Vision for REAL Human Flourishing | 2/17/24 | #169 17.02.2024

The phrase “human flourishing” has become a weird buzz word that encompasses the idea of "whatever makes me happy." But true human flourishing can only come when we follow the Creator’s design for how humanity is supposed to work. Monique and Krista do a deep dive on what we call our "Creation Identity," things that are objectively true for all humans in all times in all places.

Taking Steps to Protect Religious Institutions | 2/10/24 | #168 09.02.2024

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.

Exploring the Complexities of Religious Freedom | 2/3/24 | #167 02.02.2024

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

Understanding Community Schools | 1/20/24 | #166 19.01.2024

"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

War...What Is It Good For? | 1/13/24 | #165 13.01.2024

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,...

Raising Kids in a CRAZY World | 1/6/24 | #164 04.01.2024

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.

Season 5 Finale | 10/28/23 | #163 28.10.2023

The Long Road Out of Trafficking and to Real Freedom | 10/7/23 | #160 06.10.2023

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.

Sifting Through the Confusion about Christian Nationalism | 9/30/23 | #159 30.09.2023

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.

Answering Critical Questions about LGBT Issues | 9/16/23 | ATT #158 16.09.2023

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.

Our Top 3 Picks of Everyday Injustices | 9/2/23 | ATT#157 02.09.2023

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.
