The Least of These Podcast with Jayni Jackson

Immigration is one of the most divisive issues in America, and after Donald Trump’s latest announcement, Steven Crowder released a commentary that raised a lot of questions—about national security, culture, and how we talk about people who don’t look like us. In today’s video, I break down some of Crowder’s most surprising claims and examine what’s actually being said beneath the surface. Whether...

In Matthew 16, Jesus tells Peter, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” For centuries, Catholics have used this verse to defend the papacy and the idea that Peter became the supreme head of the Church. But is that really what Jesus meant? In this episode of The Least of These Podcast, Jayni Jackson traces the “keys” motif through Scripture, from Isaiah 22 to Revelation 3, to uncover...

When the Vatican released a new document about Mary’s role in salvation, I expected it to be just another Marian reflection—but this one is different. Mater Populi Fidelis (“Mother of the Faithful People of God”) is already stirring up conversation because it says some things that sound surprisingly biblical, while also exposing a much deeper problem inside Catholic teaching itself. In this video,...

In this episode of The Least of These Podcast, I respond to a viral video that raises one of the most honest—and haunting—questions a person can ask: Why should we trust God? It’s a question that’s left many people wrestling with doubt, disappointment, and confusion. But what if the answer isn’t what you expect? What if the very moments that make God seem untrustworthy are the same moments that re...

In this episode of the Least of These Podcast, I’m diving into the growing conservative civil war—and why it’s exposing something far deeper than politics. After Politico revealed a disturbing group chat filled with racist and pro-Nazi jokes, the Daily Wire hosts—Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan—responded. But instead of repentance, what we saw was deflection, pride, and...

In Matthew 16, Jesus looks at Simon and gives him a new name—Peter. For centuries, that moment has sparked debate: was Jesus establishing the papacy or doing something far deeper? In this episode, Jayni Jackson breaks down one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture and uncovers what’s really happening when Jesus says, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.” What if this...

In this episode, I talk about a recent move by the Vatican that’s raising a lot of eyebrows—a decision that, on the surface, might look harmless, but actually says a lot more than people realize. I’m not approaching this from outrage, but from discernment, because what just happened points to something much deeper about how truth is being handled in our time. Whether you’re Catholic, Protestant, o...

Catholics often point to Matthew 16 where Jesus says, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.” At first glance, it sounds simple—even convincing. But when you trace the “Rock” theme across Scripture, you realize something stunning: the Rock has never been a man. It has always been Christ. In this video, I walk through the biblical and historical evidence showing why the foundation...

Was Charlie Kirk a Christian martyr—or a political one? In this episode, I respond to Allie Beth Stuckey’s defense of Charlie Kirk and her critique of Jackie Hill Perry. This conversation isn’t about politics—it’s about truth. Because when we start redefining martyrdom to fit our cultural loyalties, we lose sight of what it really means to bear witness to Christ. We’ll walk through what Scripture...

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most heated and uncomfortable debates to resurface online — the question of interracial marriage. Recently, Candace Owens sat down with Nick Fuentes for an interview that shocked a lot of people, not just for what was said, but for what it revealed about how far certain ideas have come back into the mainstream. But here’s the thing — this isn’t just ab...

Did Jesus come to give us a church or a Bible? Catholics and Orthodox often claim “the church came before the Bible,” but when you trace the biblical story from Genesis to Revelation, a very different picture emerges. The Word of God has always created the people of God—not the other way around. From creation itself, to the covenant with Abraham, to the calling of the apostles, to the birth of the...

There’s a popular Catholic slogan that gets thrown around in debates with Protestants: “To be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant.” It sounds powerful, it sounds convincing, and it’s been used to push countless people toward Rome or Orthodoxy. But what if there’s a deeper truth that completely flips that slogan on its head? In this video, I want to show you why. #Protestant #Catholic #Ort...

In this video, I address the rising trend of Israel conspiracy theories and why Christians need to think biblically about them. There’s a growing temptation to let curiosity slide into suspicion and suspicion slide into slander. But Scripture gives us a better way—a way that keeps our eyes fixed on Christ’s kingdom rather than the endless speculation of the world. We’ll look at Paul’s words in 1 T...

Candace Owens recently released a video where she takes aim at Protestantism. But as you’ll see, her arguments aren’t original—they’re shallow Catholic talking points that she hasn’t thought through. In this video, I play her clip in full and then respond point by point. We’ll look at what she gets wrong about unity, history, politics, and theology, and why her arguments ultimately reveal that she...

In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, many are rushing to call him a martyr of the faith. But let’s be clear: martyrdom in Scripture has always meant one thing—dying for Christ. Dying because you would not deny the gospel. Dying because you bore witness to Jesus. If Charlie Kirk died for anything, it was for conservatism. It was for MAGA. And the church must not whitewash his legacy or bapt...

What does it actually mean to love God and love your neighbor? Too many Christians either reduce love down to a legalistic checklist of rules or stretch it into a vague, sentimental feeling that has no real substance. In this video, we dive into Jesus’ teaching in Mark 12 and the Sermon on the Mount to uncover why love is the fulfillment of the law, why “double tapping” love doesn’t lead us back t...

In this video, I wrestle with one question that has never made sense to me: why do Catholics and Orthodox insist on praying to the saints? If Scripture already tells us to pray directly to God and to ask our brothers and sisters on earth to pray with us, then what exactly do the saints add that Christ Himself has not already provided? Together we’ll walk through the biblical pattern of prayer, the...

Did Jesus really give us permission to pray to saints in Mark 12:27? Catholics and Orthodox often point to this passage—“He is not God of the dead, but of the living”—as proof that since Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are alive to God, it must be fine to speak to them. But is that what Jesus meant? In this video, we break down the context of Jesus’ debate with the Sadducees, expose the real meaning of...

Can the Roman Catholic Church deny justification by faith alone and still be considered a true church? In this episode of The Least of These Podcast, I respond to Redeemed Zoomer’s defense of Catholicism and his appeal to Gavin Ortland’s video, “Are Roman Catholics Christians?” With clarity and charity, we examine why Rome’s rejection of sola fide and penal substitution isn’t a secondary issue—it’...

Brian Holdsworth says Catholicism is the “safer bet”—but what if the very wager he uses turns against him? In this response, I expose the deep flaws in his Pascal’s Wager argument, his shallow caricature of Protestant beliefs, and the dangerous assumption that Rome’s gospel is just a “fuller” version of the truth. Spoiler: it’s not. If trusting in Christ alone is enough, then adding saints, icons,...

In this video, we take a closer look at one of the most common Catholic and Orthodox arguments for apostolic succession: the appointment of Matthias in Acts 1. While many treat this account as a slam-dunk proof, a careful reading shows it’s about completing something unique and unrepeatable—not establishing a chain of episcopal succession. I make a direct appeal to my Catholic and Orthodox friends...

Is worshiping Jesus necessary for true worship of God? In this video, I respond to Catholic apologist Joe Heschmeyer’s arguments about Mormonism and Islam and explain why his logic falls apart when tested against Scripture. Joe claims that Mormons don’t worship the same Jesus as Christians—but simultaneously defends the Catholic position that Muslims worship the same God we do. But according to Je...

Was the Law of Moses ever meant to be divided into moral, civil, and ceremonial parts? In this episode of the Least of These Podcast, Jayni Jackson unpacks why Scripture treats the Law as a single covenantal unit and why the Law itself was the Mosaic covenant. From Exodus to Galatians to Hebrews, we’ll see how what happens to one part of the Law happens to the whole—and why Christians today don’t...

In this video, we take a deep dive into Doug Wilson’s teaching on General Equity Theonomy and examine whether his interpretation of biblical law holds up under the weight of Scripture. While Wilson claims to uphold God’s righteousness in society, does his framework actually misunderstand the nature of the Mosaic covenant, the purpose of civil law in Israel, and the fulfillment of the law in Christ...

In this video, we take a hard look at the popular but deeply flawed framework known as the threefold use of the law. While many Christians adopt this view in an attempt to make sense of how the Mosaic law applies today, we expose how it creates confusion, invites contradiction, and ultimately opens the door to theonomy. By tracing the logic of the framework to its natural end, we show how slicing...
