God is the Issue Podcast

Religion EN ↓ 149 episodes

The church in America today generally communicates with the culture in one of two ways. Either we preach the gospel without regard to the cultural and personal context, or we simply react defensively to the symptomatic cultural ills. Therefore, God often comes across as largely irrelevant to the everyday life of the average American. Consequently, the culture ends up regarding us, along with God, as out of touch or, even worse, dangerous. In light of this, if the Bible is true, and God really exists, we must conclude we have failed to effectively communicate God to our culture. Our hope is tha...

Donald Trump Can’t Fix This! 08.11.2024

I learned a lot as I listened to the election results last night.  Whether you are encouraged or depressed about the results there is one thing we all should be able to agree on.  Donald Trump cannot FIX America. He may be able to fix the border and fix the economy.  I sincerely hope he can.  But FIX America? That, my friends, is ABOVE his pay grade.  Brightmedia.org twitter.com/GodIsTheIssue GOD,...

Hurricane Helene and Asheville:One Man’s Story 15.10.2024

I heard Frank’s story while attending a men’s group in South Carolina.  So many things have gone wrong in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene in Asheville, NC.  Frank’s story will give you hope.  It inspired and motivated me.  I knew I wanted you to hear it as well.  Frank drove out that afternoon to our little trailer we use on our speaking tours, and we recorded this podcast together.    God reall...

No Human Is Illegal? Maybe Some Should Be. 24.09.2024

“No human is illegal.”  Unless you’re a hermit, you’ve probably heard that phrase, but is it true?  Even the Pope has weighed in on the issue.  I respond to his statement in this podcast. When people say, “No human is illegal.”  My response is, “Maybe some humans should be.” In this episode I’ll tell you why.  It is an important issue we should all think about, pray about and do something about. ...

What's the One Thing Trump and Kamala Can't Do...But YOU Can? 17.09.2024
How Jesus Jammed the Jammers 27.08.2024

Has anyone ever tried to JAM you—to BACK you into a rhetorical corner?  What did you do?  Have you ever stopped to think about what JESUS did when the RELIGIOUS LEADERS and POLITICIANS of his day tried to trap him?  He responded shrewdly so that his viewpoint, his message, was never silenced.   Jesus was a master at flipping the tables when someone tried to trap him or jam Him.  He had two basic m...

Who is the God PRO-CHOICE Christians Believe In? 20.08.2024

If a person claims to be both a CHRISTIAN and PRO-CHOICE, what does that IMPLY about their view of God’s CHARACTER?”  Have you ever thought about that question?  The answer is FAITH SHATTERING and “pro-choice Christians,” although well-intentioned, need to use great CAUTION about imputing their FEELINGS onto God.  More importantly they need to consider the drastic IMPLICATIONS of their opinion on...

Olympic Transgender Last Supper: Problem Or Opportunity? 30.07.2024

The French  DRAG QUEENS  portraying Jesus and the  Last Supper  presents Christians with a GREAT opportunity!   Thomas Jolly, the producer of the Olympic Opening Ceremony knew EXACTLY what he was doing.  He INTENDED to create controversy.  He invited a backlash.  He wanted us to REACT, and he got precisely what they wanted.   Twitter/X feeds exploded with outrage.  I understand the outrage, but by...

Do laws requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in classrooms make you uncomfortable? Do you know how the Christian faith formed the basis for how the American Republic was created? Find out more about the men who founded America, who they were, and why  “Was America Founded as a Christian Nation” is the wrong question to ask. #faith #worldview Brightmedia.org twitter.com/GodIsTheIssue GOD, Who A...

How is the Christian Life Like a Glass of Chocolate Milk? 25.06.2024

The Christian life is like a glass of chocolate milk!  The fact that so few Christians know why, is the reason multitudes are NOT accepting Christ.  Non-Christians don’t see something in us that COMPELS them to want what we have.  Think about it: Do non-believers want what YOU have? Do YOU even want what you have? When you wake up in the middle of the night, gripped by fear, is that what non-belie...

What Can Christians Learn from Gay Pride? 11.06.2024

Gay Pride Month is upon us.  Here’s a question you’ve probably never been asked: What did the Apostle Paul and gay activists know that most of us don’t? What can Christians learn from Gay Pride?  Join me for this fascinating discussion. #faith #worldview Brightmedia.org twitter.com/GodIsTheIssue GOD, Who Are You Anyway?  by Bill Bright, with Brad Bright brightmedia.org/resources Time Stamps:   02:...

There’s Still Hope For America IF… 05.06.2024

Many of you know I have terminal cancer.  A few months ago, Kathy and I decided to stop the cancer treatments—at least for now.  Why?  Because I know God has called me to give all I have to help God’s people wake up to the choice they have before them. By going off the treatments I feel great and have energy again, but the price is a much shorter life.  The reality is, I probably won’t be here to...

The NFL, Harrison Butker, and What You Missed 23.05.2024

Last week, the NFL issued a chilling statement about Kansas City Chiefs’ star kicker, Harrison Butker’s speech; a statement that revealed more about the NFL than Harrison Butker.  However, the Media missed something, and I’ll bet you did too.  That’s what I’m talking about today.  What did the NFL really say about Harrison Butker, homemakers, fathers and God?  How can followers of Jesus respond?  ...

Anti-Israel College Protests: Pulling Back the Curtain 07.05.2024

Who are the anti-Israel, anti-US protestors on our college campuses?  More importantly, who is behind the curtain pulling the strings?  How should followers of Jesus respond?   Believe it or not, in the ‘80’s I used to organize “GRASSROOTS” protests around the country from my office in Washington, D.C.  I know how it’s done.    In light of that, I’m going to talk about what is going on at Columbia...

What Most Christians Get Wrong About God 30.04.2024

Most people HATE or REJECT God because He doesn’t act the way THEY think He should. I mean, what good is an all-powerful god if He doesn’t prevent famine, floods, and child abuse? What good is a god that doesn’t PROTECT you and make you HAPPY? Do they have a point?  If you know someone who HATES God, is DISAPPOINTED in God or simply wants nothing to do with God, I’m willing to bet it’s because the...

What is the Pro-Life Movement’s Biggest Mistake? 23.04.2024

The Pro-Life movement has won some major battles, but it is losing the war.  Why?  I think we find clues in recent statements by Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins.  Join me as we unpack the stunningly honest comment Bill Maher made about abortion and the unexpected admission Richard Dawkins made that he “identifies as a cultural Christian.”  These two atheists inadvertently point us to the Pro-life m...

The Greatest Tragedy in Life 02.04.2024

What do you think the greatest tragedy for the follower of Jesus is?  Several years ago, my brother gave his surprising answer to this question.  I have never forgotten what he said.  Today, I want to share his answer with you and explore the implications on our lives and in our culture.  I’ll also give you one easy and powerful action point that I promise will energize everything you do in life....
