SCOTUS Decision on Affirmative Action in Colleges, Explained | 7/8/23 | #154 08.07.2023 1:02:41
Many of us have heard snippets about the Supreme Court's recent decision about Affirmative Action. We've asked Christian attorney, Hohn Cho, who has carefully researched this case and will report on his findings. Why does this case matter for Christians?
Overcome Obstacles & Start Homeschooling 03.07.2023 1:03:25
I know there are many people who follow me who would like to homeschool, but they have concerns that they won't be up for the challenge. Is homeschooling right for your family? Let's talk about it. I've asked my friend, Alicia Moss, who is a homeschool coach to come on and talk about how we can move past the obstacles. We even discuss how to make homeschooling happen for students with special need...
A Different Perspective on Colonialism | 7/1/23 | #153 01.07.2023 1:07:46
We are honored to be joined tomorrow night by Christian philosopher and social reformer, Vishal Mangalwadi. We will discuss the role the Bible played in shaping India––and America. We will explore the influence of missionaries, India's caste system, power, the impact of the British empire on slavery, widow burning and infanticide, the revolutionary nature of the distribution of the Bible, and more...
Should the Descendants of Slavery Receive Reparations? || 6/24/23 || ATT#152 22.06.2023 1:32:59
The topic of reparations is hard. It's emotional. And polarizing. But it's a question that we get at outreaches...a LOT. So we are finally going to talk in public about where we are with this issue.
Making Christian Education a Reality for Every Family 18.06.2023 50:12
If Krista ruled the world, every church in America would make a way so that every family in their congregation who wants to remove their children from government schools can do it. This means local churches will need to provide education solutions that include single parents and low-income families. I’ve asked my friend, Gheorghe Rosca, Jr. (from Protect Our Kids) to come on and help us discuss ho...
Rebuilding After Being Cancelled by BLM || 6/17/23 || ATT#151 15.06.2023 1:16:31
Back in 2020, the Riesco family had their business burned down in the BLM riots in Chicago. Even though they had been long-time advocates in the community, they were cancelled virtually overnight for saying "all black lives matter." We will talk to brother Juan about his family's experience and how they, by God's grace, "uncancelled" themselves. We will also find out what they learned and how they...
Why Companies are Getting a Queer Makeover (and what you can do about it) 14.06.2023 40:27
In the good old days….the main thing we wanted in a product was that it worked. Buying a shirt didn't automatically mean I was also promoting a political philosophy. What's happening? Why are so many companies qu**ring themselves? This is a rebroadcast of a teaching that I did last week over at the Center for Biblical Unity.
What to Look For in a Church 12.06.2023 49:12
I am not going to lie: it has been very hard for us as a family to navigate the waters of feeling church homeless for the last 3 years since we left our church of two decades. We have visited all kinds of churches in search of a better situation. It can be tough out there. Really. This has led me to thinking a LOT about what to look for in a church. I receive a fair number of letters asking for ad...
Reflections on Being a Female Apologist 07.06.2023 31:00
I have worked professionally in the fields of theology and apologetics for 30 years. I want to share some thoughts about the current state of women's apologetics and encourage up-and-coming female apologists. This is a special edition in honor of the 2023 Women in Apologetics conference.
ATT#150 Christianity in Africa Before Slavery || 6/10/23 06.06.2023 1:15:55
JUNETEENTH EPISODE The frequent narrative is that Africans were introduced to Christianity as a result of slavery. But we have heard rumors that this might not actually be true. It's quite possible that Christianity had spread from northeast Africa to Central Africa long before the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. We will do a deep dive on this situation and try to uncover the truth. Guest: Dr. H C Fel...
Is My Catholic Friend a Christian? (part 2) 04.06.2023 1:05:13
This is part 2 of my short teaching series on Roman Catholicism. In this episode, I am talking to my friend, theologian and former Catholic, Kenneth Samples about key doctrines that still divide us as Protestants and Catholics. I hope you are edified by our attempt at gracious conversation about an emotional and complex topic. Ken's debate with Fr. Mitch Pacwa on the authority of church and tradit...
Is My Catholic Friend a Christian? (part 1) 29.05.2023 53:36
When I was posting about The Chosen earlier this year, I received a LOT of comments expressing concern about some of cast members being Roman Catholic and participating on the Hallow app (a Roman Catholic prayer app). I thought that this would be a good opportunity to discuss the complex relationship between Protestants and Roman Catholics. This will be a 2-part discussion. Part 1 will provide an...
8 Signs That You Might Be Harassed by Demons 22.05.2023 52:13
The content I've been doing over the last year and a half related to the supernatural continues to be popular. I am trying to provide helpful, biblically-based content related to spiritual warfare. I think this is an important issue because aspects of our public culture are becoming increasingly overtly demonic. This teaching will build on the previous conversation I did back in January about comm...
ATT#149 How Do Members of Different Races Walk in Unity? || 5/20/2023 20.05.2023 1:19:32
The culture is telling us that the path to unity includes "doing the work" of antiracism. How does this compare with the Bible? Monique and Krista answer one of the most common questions they get when we are on the road.
The Heart of Christianity: An Overview of Core Beliefs 14.05.2023 48:10

ATT#148 Should I Start a House Church? || 5/13/2023 13.05.2023 1:29:16
One of the consequences of the events in 2020 was a great reshuffling of churches. Many people left their church, looking for a more biblically faithful alternative. We know that some of our followers have had a hard time finding a new church or have wondered whether to start a house church. Our friend, Uncle Kunkle (aka Brett Kunkle from MAVEN), is coming on to talk about his family's effort to s...
Does The Chosen Violate Sola Scriptura? 08.05.2023 41:33
When I was posting about The Chosen earlier this year, I received a LOT of comments that the TV series violates the doctrine of sola scriptura. I thought it would be a good opportunity to clarify what sola scriptura actually means...and what it doesn't mean. Let's talk about it.
My Report on Critical Social Theories in Christian Colleges 23.04.2023 1:23:01
I am continuing to investigate and report on the creep of the Critical Social Theories into Christian higher ed. In this episode, I'll be sharing the results of my last 3 years of research. Also, a faculty member at a prominent Christian university recently sent me some training materials that were distributed to all the faculty. This material was designed to help faculty learn how to address "gen...
ATT#147 Weighing Pros & Cons of AI || 4/22/23 21.04.2023 1:02:11
A few weeks ago, Elon Musk and 1000s of other tech leaders started circulating a petition calling for a PAUSE on all major AI developments. This included calling for a moratorium on ChatGPT upgrades. We want to help equip you to think about the rise of Artificial Intelligence technology and how it is already changing our lives. Guests: Dr. Joe Miller and Dr. Jeff Zweerink
"Come Out in Jesus Name" My Review 11.04.2023 56:04
Last night I went with friends to see the 90-minute documentary/infomerical on deliverance, "Come Out In Jesus" name. It was crazytown.
My Friend Converted to Coptic Orthodoxy...Our Journey Together 09.04.2023 1:08:55
A few years ago, a very close friend of mine converted to Coptic Orthodoxy. I was stunned at her announcement. I didn't know at the time what being Coptic even meant. We are sharing a bit of our journey through this major change and the impact that it's had on both of us. Guest: Anastasia Young Sia's Book: My American Flight to Egypt: A Western Evangelical Discovers the Ancient Faith https://www.a...
Cracks in the DEI System 03.04.2023 1:00:27
Krista provides some developments that are on the horizon related to Diversity trainings in the workplace. (This was originally broadcast as a Family Meeting through the Center for Biblical Unity.)

ATT#145 Why We Need Strong Men || 3/25/23 25.03.2023 1:32:37
We will be talking to Aunty Nancy about her forthcoming book, The Toxic War on Masculinity. She will bring all the receipts concerning the importance of men if a civilization is to long endure. And why men are struggling. Link to Nancy's new book: The Toxic War on Masculinity https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801075734
WARNING! These Practices are Destroying How We Interpret the Bible 25.03.2023 55:26
I am continuing to sound the alarm about two interpretive practices that are permeating many seminaries, churches and sermons: standpoint epistemology and liberation theology. I break them down in lay-man's terms and give current examples to teach you how to recognize them when they come into your church.
