The Least of These Podcast with Jayni Jackson

Is Mary really the “New Eve”? It’s a claim you’ve probably heard before, and at first glance, it sounds compelling—Eve disobeyed, Mary obeyed, and through Mary comes the One who brings life. But does Scripture actually establish that connection, or are we reading something into the text that isn’t really there? In this video, we take a step back and test the idea biblically by looking at how typol...

Have you ever walked away from a conversation with a Catholic or Orthodox and felt like something in their argument didn’t quite sit right—but you couldn’t explain why? In this video, I break down 5 common logical traps that often show up in those discussions, not to take cheap shots, but to help you think more clearly and respond with confidence. We’ll walk through real examples, expose where the...

Why do so many Christians call Mary “the Mother of God”—and is that actually the clearest way to say what we believe? In this video, we take a careful, biblical look at the phrase Theotokos , its historical purpose, and whether it truly helps us understand who Jesus is or unintentionally creates confusion. By comparing how Scripture speaks about Mary and Christ with how theological language develo...

There’s an argument that many Christians use when engaging Islam that, on the surface, seems powerful and even convincing—but what if the way it’s commonly used is actually missing the point? In this video, we take a closer look at the Islamic dilemma and uncover a critical mistake that’s quietly weakening conversations and causing people to talk past each other instead of getting to the real issu...

Sometimes the biggest disagreements aren’t about the conclusion—but about what was actually being said in the first place. After watching David Wood's response to my video, I realized there were some key points that may have been misunderstood, and I think it opens up a much bigger conversation about how Christians should think, engage, and respond in moments like this. In this video, I take a...

John 6 is one of the most debated chapters in all of Scripture, especially when it comes to the Lord’s Supper. If you’ve ever had a conversation with a Catholic or Orthodox Christian, you’ve probably heard this passage used to support a very specific view of what Jesus meant. But what if the chapter isn’t about what many people assume it is? In this video, we take a closer look at the context, the...

Acts 2:38 is one of those verses that seems simple on the surface—but the more you think about it, the more questions it raises. Why do the apostles say “repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins” instead of just “repent and believe”? Is baptism doing something more than we’ve assumed, or are we missing something in how we’re reading it? In this video, we slow down and wrestle with t...

Few verses have caused more confusion in the baptism debate than the statement “baptism now saves you.” Some read it one way, others react in the complete opposite direction—but what if both sides are missing something important? In this video, we slow down and walk through the passage in its full context to uncover what’s actually being said and why it matters. If you’ve ever wrestled with this v...

What really happens when Christians take the Eucharist, Communion, or the Lord’s Supper? Are believers literally eating Christ’s body and blood, is the meal merely symbolic, or is something deeper happening? In this video, we step back from centuries of debate and go straight to the biblical explanation found in 1 Corinthians 10 and 11. By walking through Paul’s teaching step-by-step, we explore w...

In this episode of the Least of These Podcast, Jayni Jackson tackles a question that has sparked growing debate among Christians: does the modern state of Israel have a divine right to the land promised to Abraham? As tensions surrounding Israel continue to shape political and theological conversations, many believers feel forced to choose between two extreme positions—either Israel has a God-give...

Mormonism teaches that modern prophets can make mistakes—even doctrinal mistakes—while still serving as God’s authorized leaders for the church. But is that actually a category the Bible allows? In this video, we examine a claim recently discussed in LDS apologetics and ask a simple question: can someone speak for God, be wrong, and still remain a prophet? By looking carefully at Scripture and the...

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said something that should make every Christian stop and think: he doesn’t believe he’s going to make it to heaven. That statement alone raises a serious question—how should the church respond when someone publicly speaks about eternity like that? In this episode of the Least of These Podcast, Jayni Jackson takes a step back from the political noise to examine...

In a recent interview between Doug Wilson and Tucker Carlson, a statement was made that I believe exposes a much deeper issue within Christian reasoning today. This video isn’t about shielding Islam from critique — Islam is false, and extremist movements are dangerous — but about asking whether Christians can equate religious identity with criminal identity without abandoning biblical justice. We’...

What happens when Christians become shocked that unbelievers don’t act like believers? Recently, a moment in Times Square sparked a wave of reactions across evangelical circles—and I think it reveals something deeper going on beneath the surface. In this video, I slow the conversation down and ask whether we’re thinking biblically, logically, and theologically about religious freedom, public praye...

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus makes one of the most hope-filled promises in all of Scripture: “I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” But what did He actually mean? In this final episode of my Matthew 16 series, we take a careful, biblical look at the foundation of the church, the difference between the visible and invisible church, and why understanding the meaning...

In a recent speech, President Trump used language that immediately caught the attention of many Christians—talk of re-dedicating America to God and returning to being “one nation under God.” But what does that language actually mean, biblically speaking? In this video, we slow down and examine those claims through Scripture, asking careful questions about dedication, covenant, and what Christianit...

The world is undeniably beautiful—but it’s also dangerous, broken, and filled with suffering. For many people, that tension raises a serious question: does a world like this actually count against the idea of design? In this video, we slow down and examine a popular critique of the argument from design that claims the pain and chaos of the world point either to no creator at all or to a deeply fla...

Does Romans chapter 1 really say that atheists are liars—or is Paul doing something far more careful and unsettling than that? In this episode, we take a close look at one of the most debated passages in Scripture and the uncomfortable tension it creates between modern claims of “non-resistant unbelief” and the Bible’s diagnosis of the human condition. Rather than resorting to shallow proof-textin...

Every year around Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a familiar debate resurfaces—especially among Christians—about whether this holiday should be celebrated at all. Some point to MLK’s personal flaws, others to the complexity of the Civil Rights Movement itself, and many feel caught between conviction and confusion. In this video, I don’t set out to defend a personality or re-litigate history. Instead,...

A recent debate raised a claim so sweeping—and so serious—that it deserves careful, biblical examination. In this video, I slow everything down and walk through what was actually said, why it matters, and how Christians should evaluate bold claims made from influential platforms. This isn’t a reaction piece or rage bait; it’s a thoughtful, Scripture-driven look at how we define the church, how we...

James chapter 2 is one of the most debated—and most misunderstood—passages in the New Testament. In this video, we slow down and let James speak for himself, asking whether this chapter actually supports the claims so often made about it. Without relying on Paul or importing outside frameworks, we follow James’s own logic to see where it leads—and where it doesn’t. If you’ve ever assumed James 2 w...

James 2 is one of the most contested passages in the entire New Testament. For centuries, it has been cited as the verse that finally disproves justification by faith alone—and many Christians are convinced the case is settled. But what if the problem isn’t James? In this video, we slow down and actually listen to James on his own terms. No shortcuts. No proof-texting. No importing other authors t...

What did Jesus actually mean when he said the church has the power to “bind and loose”?This passage has been used to justify spiritual warfare formulas, sweeping institutional claims, and everything in between. In this video, we slow down, trace the biblical storyline, and let Jesus define his own words.

In this video, I walk through seven often-overlooked biblical passages that every Protestant should know when engaging with Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox theology. Rather than relying on the usual proof texts, this video digs deeper into how Scripture itself functions as the final authority, how Jesus and the apostles expected believers to read and test doctrine, how justification actually w...

In today’s video, we’re taking a serious look at Steven Crowder’s recent interview with Nick Fuentes — and why it reveals far more about the state of the conservative movement than most people are willing to admit. I’m not here to sensationalize anything. I’m simply walking through what was said, what wasn’t said, and what these moments expose about the moral confusion happening on the political r...
