Kindled Podcast | Truth and Grace, Boldly

After more than a year of Covid-19 Lockdowns and public health responses globally, I'm sitting down with the founder of Missourians for Health Freedom to discuss this hot topic.  We discuss the public health response in lockdowns and the important topic of vaccine and mask mandates. There will be a supplemental portion to this conversation that is shared exclusively in my Firestarters episode...

Have you heard things like: "go with Jesus" "Jesus' words are more authoritative than anyone else in the Bible" "Paul was a little preachy, go with Jesus on this one" ?? These are all cunning examples of Red-Letter Christianity - the belief that Jesus' words spoken during his earthly ministry "trump" all else in God's Word. This teaching and idea is getting more traction all the time amongst progr...

We know we're supposed to read our Bible. We know we're supposed to spend time in prayer. But that's hard. So we turn to devotionals, studies, books, podcasts, blogs and more - because it's easier. But the problem with this as our only diet of truth is - we don't know how to read God's very words in order to know Him. The Bible is God's WORD, but do we treat it as such? Do we approach it with an u...

After a challenging year for children's education, it's no surprise school choice is finally getting traction. Today Corey DeAngelis joins me to discuss why. Parents this past year have been sending their children to charter schools and homeschooling in hordes. Public schools are indoctrinating our children and receiving more and more funding, but teachers still have to pay for their own school su...

Today I have the pleasure of sharing an interview with Dawain Akinson, an ex-NAR "apostle." Dawain shares his story and we discuss whether the idea of having apostles today is Biblical, as well as the dangers that exist in following those who claim to be apostles of Christ.  Shownotes at kindledpodcast.com Sponsor: Leeann with Guaranteed Foods | Get a week of free food!

Today I have an excellent conversation with Zee from @narrow.is.the.gate to share. She was gracious enough to share her testimony with me of how God transformed her life. We also discuss: + how we all start out on the broad road that leads to destruction, but that as Christians, we are not meant to stay on that path. + the importance of being in a biblical church + the importance of knowing what G...

It's no surprise that objective and absolute standards of morality were long since tossed to the wayside in favor of individual, subjective moral "truth." Recently, though, that individualized "personal ethic" has converted into more of a "morality by popular consensus" as product after book after person after brand gets harassed, cancelled, and condemned as "unfit" for society -- or worse. Natash...

Unless you've been under a rock, you've probably heard about the Enneagram. And you've probably heard people who are both WILDLY for it and WILDLY opposed to it. This episode is something you might not have heard before - the facts. What are the facts of the Enneagram's history? Is it beneficial for Christians in any way? Why or why not? What do we stand to lose or gain by engaging with this tool?...

Some say femininity is under attack - and yes, in many ways it is. But in other ways, we're handing it right over to the enemy because we have lost a right understanding of what it truly is, according to God.  I'm discussing just that with Anneliese Louise of the instagram account Feminine Not Feminist.   Sponsor: Leanne Tenbrink with Guaranteed Foods - Get a $100 food credit and a week of free fo...

Today I'm chatting with Bob Scott, author of In the Company of Joseph, about big tech, artificial intelligence and what the future of those two things means for Christians in an increasingly hostile world.  It's a big conversation, but it's one we need to be having as we stop to consider how we are living and how we will choose to live in the future.  Leave a review   Subscribe to the podcast: iTu...

What should we expect from a new administration in terms of public policy? I'm discussing that today with Christina Herrin, Campaign Manager for Free to Choose Medicine.  2020 brought the largest public health crisis in recent history with Covid-19, and as we move into 2021 with a new presidential administration, the future of public health policy is uncertain to say the least.  Christina and I di...

Justin Haskins of the Heartland Institute joins to explain a broad topic: the Great Reset. Justin breaks down what this somewhat secretive movement actually is and what it is not. He shares the facts, debunks the more conspiratorial claims and explains how the Great Reset and the worldwide COVID-19 lockdowns are related. He also shares encouragement regarding stopping socialism.    ► Subscribe to...

This Fall, we watched as the term "pro-life" was hijacked from the movement and pitted against us with the argument that it was not pro-ALL-life. Is this just semantics? Or is it a sign the movement needs a rebrand?  Today, Gabriel Finochio and I discuss being ANTI-ABORTION, rather than pro-life, as well as the desperate need we have for church pastors to step up and lead their congregations, bold...

Surprise! We're back! Season 3 is here.  And we're starting off with a BANG. Samuel Sey of slowtowrite.com and I are discussing "Christian Nationalism", the increasingly anti-Christian culture we are facing and the coming persecution that is all but imminent for true believers in Christ.  This is one you do not want to miss.  WANT MORE?

SURPRISE! My Christmas present to you is here - a conversation with Alisha Illian on Perfection.  With the New Year just around the corner, it's all to easy to buy into the lie that if we just eat a little differently or wake up earlier or buy this or drink that, we can be better. More perfect. And that pursuit can leave us frustrated and hopeless if we let it be our ultimate driver and truth.  We...

We've spent the last 3 months diving deep into how Christianity intersects with culture from a Biblical worldview. Now it's time to learn how to take that knowledge to the streets of our relationships by discussing Evangelism.  Don't freak out - we're not going to be giving you the latest tactics for how to "win souls to Christ" with street evangelism (though if you want to do that, more power to...

Today my Pastor Jeff Terrell joins me to discuss living life in light of eternity. We need eternal eyes now more than EVER, so this conversation comes at the perfect time.  Jeff shares wisdom from the book of Ecclesiastes on living life backwards. He also provides orthodox Christians with some helpful guard rails for engaging with God's Word.  Episode sponsor: Prepdish Show notes at www.kindledpod...

For the world, belonging is turned upside down from the way God designed it. The belonging movement, led by voices like Brene Brown and Glennon Doyle Melton, tells us true belonging is found in unconditional self-acceptance.  In many ways, this movement isn't much different than Satan's offer in the garden - "Did God really say?" Culture offers us something it doesn't have authority to give - and...

Join us for this conversation with Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries on why Christians must demand justice in this election crisis.   From Dr. Myers' article, "As the election crisis drags on and the news is filled with widespread reports of voting irregularities and fraud, confusion and chaos reign. America needs help, and yet people of faith are almost entirely asleep at the wheel. Many feel t...

Today we're talking gender and sexuality! Dr. Christopher Yuan is sharing his story as he came out of a lifestyle of homosexuality and promiscuity to being a transformed disciple of Christ. Dr. Yuan has taught the Bible at Moody Bible Institute for over ten years and his speaking ministry on faith and sexuality has reached five continents. Christopher graduated from Moody Bible Institute in 2005,...

Abortion is the great, unexamined issue of our time. When we look at the controversies swirling in America, we see that underneath them lurks this issue of abortion, which is the driving force of what is going on, even when it is not mentioned. Danielle and I unpack some of this critical and crucial conversation. We discuss why the conversation on abortion is changing, how information and science...

Today I'm welcoming the hosts of my FAVORITE podcast, Just Thinking, back to the show!  This time, we're talking about TRUTH! Does it change - how is it defined by scripture, how do we speak and live it boldly even in the face of intense opposition and hate?  That's what they're here to share about today and I promise you will LOVE this episode. It's straight fire.  The sponsor of this episode is...

What do we do when everything we thought we knew and believe is called into question? And how do we work through doubts without going all the way to unbelief?  Alisa Childers shares her deconstruction story and how she found her way back to faith in Christ and the truths of historic Christianity.  Sponsor: H. Williams Creative

  Politics. What are they? And what *should* they be?   This discussion is one many of us have been told is something “polite people” avoid. But judging by the state of relationships in 2020, what we desperately need is help understanding how to think about this biblically as well as discuss ideas (and disagree) without cancelling people.  In this episode, Meagan and I discuss what politics are ac...
