Truth At All Costs

The world hates the truth. Thankfully, Christians don’t. This episode of Truth at All Costs is all about the truth. Namely, how it corresponds with reality. It’s the last episode of the Church Year and of season 1. Caution, if you ebb and flow according to cultural opinion, this show is not for you. But if truth trumps everything else in your life. If upholding truth, standing on it, and being sav...

Does God hate our hands because we use them to break the fifth commandment? Do we use our freedom as a cover for evil? I went to Main Street in Ferndale to ask Californians if they think God hates our hands because of what we do to unborn babies.

Just before Jesus delivers the beatitudes, St. Matthew says, “he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them.” (Matt. 5:1-2) In this episode we sit at the feet of Martin Luther to learn what this introductory description means for pastors, which is going to show us that they, like you, should never be afraid to bite the fox. It’...

Are you engaged in local politics? That’s where the most damage is being done and that’s where the biggest wins can be made for the good. It’s most certainly where the Christian lives out his vocations every single day. In today’s episode of Truth at All Costs we’re looking at a local political issue that made national news when a Catholic-owned hospital refused to murder an unborn baby. We’ll als...

Am I guilty of electioneering? That's what Ferndale's left would like to say. Can pastors speak for or against political candidates? Can they have political signs in their yards and even talk about them in their podcasts? Let's find out in episode 34 of the Truth at All Costs.

Should Christians vote for an idiot? That word has an actual definition. We'll look at it as we find our answer. Scripture, obviously has something to say, and we'll also listen to the wisdom of Martin Luther while looking at a specific example of a man who wants my neighbors and I to vote for him. But is he mentally capable to be a public person? Is he capable of ordinary reasoning? Let's find ou...

We take a lot of our behavior for granted. We assume the way we do things is the way they’ve always been done. But maybe there was a better way. Maybe our ancestors had a better way and if we returned to them, we could actually see positive results in our world. Think about this with me today as we listen to the pastoral guidance regarding dating and marriage from a hundred years ago. Let’s see wh...

Jesus went to hell! It's true. It's not a figure of speech and He didn't go there in some incorporeal way, but with both body and spirit. Christians confess this every week in the Creed and there are fascinating aspects to this doctrine that we're going to get into in this episode of Truth at All Costs.

In 1951 Rev. William Arndt taught on Armageddon. What he said might shock you. Has the last battle of Armageddon already begun? Likewise, a viewer wants to know how the mark of the beast is already restricting our ability to buy and sell. We explore both of these Revelation topics in this episode of the Truth at All Costs!

What is the tradition of the apostles handed down from one generation to the next? That is, what is the true Christian religion? And what’s up with Christians embracing Yoga? We have a lot of Scripture to get into and some wisdom to glean from Rev. Harold Senkbeil and Mr. Jonas Bramwell.

Can a Christian vote for Trump if he is going to mandate baby-killing IVF? This is the question a viewer sent in. Should we just not vote at all, if we only have sinners on the ballot? And some vague YouTube user thinks I’m an attention-seeking Roman Catholic because I wear a clerical collar, clearly revealing he or she is painfully uneducated about the role of that age-old innovation known as a u...

I was asked about smoking a cigar in relation to working out. If the latter is serving your neighbor, how is smoking? We let Martin Luther teach us the answer as he takes us to Scripture.

A lot of Christians have been led astray by a false teaching that wrongly reads into 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 a secret rapture event, emphasizing this man-made vanishing act as part of a complex coming of Christ that the Bible knows nothing about! These dear people are taught to cling to this fiction instead of to the resurrection of the dead in Jesus Christ, which is the context of 1 Thessalonians...

Tim Walz claims to be a Lutheran. Is he? He’s definitely a part of Revelation 13's sea beast, otherwise known as corrupt government. Let's see if he is actually Lutheran and answer a viewer’s question about Revelation 13:17, showing that the mark of the beast has been with us since the apostles. ____________________ BOOK LINKS "Without the Shedding of Blood" by Rev. Dr. David Sca...

False prophets and false teachings fill the internet just as they were all over the TV and the radio before that. Candace Owens will serve as an object lesson as we dig into why we should avoid listening to internet influencers and YouTubers. We’ll also see how faithful Christians dealt with this very same concern a hundred years ago, and get a great lesson on pistis, the Greek word for faith, fro...

The pagans continue to be pagan. The question is, will Christians continue to be pagan with them? We’re talking about the blasphemy at the Olympics, the Greek god in question, and his notoriety for being mentally disturbed just like his modern rainbow devotees.

Presidential news has been crazy these last couple of weeks. Amid an assassination attempt, a white house coup, and the obvious tyranny ramping up with Kamala Harris as the likely democrat nominee for president we do well to remember that Jesus is in charge. A viewer wants to know if voting for Donald Trump with a clean conscience is possible. Let's answer that question. A Christian Manifesto...

Rev. Jim Roemke is the LCMS pastor who prayed at the Republican National Convention (after a very impressive President Trump impersonation). His participation in this civic event has stirred up questions about the propriety of pastoral participation, especially since Harmeet Dhillon prayed a Sihk prayer immediately after him. Well, you’re in for a treat, because today’s show is my conversation wit...

Is President Joe Biden too old to serve as the President of the United States? What about the question no one is asking? Is he too proud to be President? He says his cognitive test is that he’s running the world and he might listen to the Lord Almighty if He came down to tell him to stand down. He’s not the first so-called ruler of the world to suffer mental decay and pride. Remember King Nebuchad...

Is Western society lost because we’re all weak-willed wimps? Not if the men raw-dogging their flights have anything to say about it. Today we’re talking about free will understanding, as Jock WIllink says, that discipline does truly equal freedom. Jesus was disciplined and now you’re free. But what about discipline in relation to man's fallen will? We know that even the unregenerate have the a...

When you look around and see all the idolatry, is your spirit provoked to anger? Should it be? Well, yes, it should be. That’s what we’re talking about today, and as we do, we’ll talk about St. Mark’s stolen lawn signs, a Ferndale drag queen, focus on St. Paul’s time in Athens, and even discuss a Lutheran Hour sermon about the Ethiopian eunuch.

Is it a sin to use preferred pronouns? The short answer to the question is yes, it is sinful to lie and that’s what we do when we use preferred pronouns. In this episode, I react to a Wisconsin Synod Lutheran pastor’s video that asks the same question. I also share some troubling news from Rev. Mark Schulz and then admit to being a bigot—just like God. Open up your Bible and join me on the spiritu...

I preached the truth of God’s Word in front of the Ferndale Repertory Theatre on the opening night of The Prom. Jesus-hating patrons and staff went to great lengths to try to silence the love of Christ that I was speaking, including blaring music at me and calling the cops.
