Chelsea and I cover what went on over the summer since we last covered Colorado's evil ban on abortion pill reversals. Bella Health and Wellness, a comprehensive, life-affirming family healthcare clinic sued the state administration of Colorado to prevent them from enforcing the terms of SB23-190. This law went into effect in April and restricts how life-affirming clinics can advertise and bans th...

What did Paul mean by "work out your own salvation with fear and trembling"? We look at Philippians 2:12 and some surrounding verses to see that the context is sanctification, humility, and testimony. Perhaps this was a common quip from Paul to church members when they were striving and bickering with each other. ***  Castle Rock Women's Health  is a pro-life and pro-women health care mi...

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism. A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 9 we look at the claim that Jesus taught against property rights and owning wealth because He said in Luke 14:33 that one must give up all he has to be His disciple. We also exam...

We cannot even begin to understand the terrorist brutality from Hamas and their slaughter of civilians in Israel. What compounds the shock amid the rubble and barbarous deposits of dead men, women, and children are the surprising numbers of people in Western nations cheering on the carnage and defending Hamas' actions. A single episode cannot do justice to what all has transpired since the shockin...

No Christian podcast worth its salt can avoid answering the all-important question: just who were those Nephilim, anyway? After analyzing three theories about the Nephilim in the previous episodes in this series, Chelsea and I present our own theory using ideas from those three. Theories about the Nephilim seem to depend on who were "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men" in Genesis chapter 6...

No Christian podcast worth its salt can avoid answering the all-important question: just who were those Nephilim, anyway? Chelsea and I present the third of three popular theories about the Nephilim: that they are the offspring of wicked rulers taking wives from among the peasantry by force. Theories about the Nephilim seem to depend on who were "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men" in Gene...

In this episode I look at passages in the gospels of Matthew and Mark in which Jesus said that blasphemy against Himself was forgivable but blasphemy against the Holy Spirit could never be forgiven. Did Jesus mean that if someone today utters an incantation against the Holy Spirit that his fate is sealed forever with no hope of repentance and forgiveness? Perhaps the context of Jesus' words as wel...

In this episode of Truthspresso I look at one passage I consider to be one of the hardest to explain. It is an excuse for some people to believe the Bible really isn't the Word of God or that Christianity isn't true. Psalm 137:9 says "Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones." Does God favor or reward people for killing babies?! Let's look at some context and h...

In this episode of Truthspresso I look at one passage deemed the hardest verse to explain from an article addressed to Christian writers: Why did Jesus say He didn't know the day or hour of His return? If He's God incarnate, wouldn't He know this? We look at four explanations and evaluate which one (or two) are the most likely. Sources Consulted: Dr. Henderson Ward, " The Most Difficult Verse in t...

No Christian podcast worth its salt can avoid answering the all-important question: just who were those Nephilim, anyway? Chelsea and I present the second of three popular theories about the Nephilim: that they are the offspring of Seth's descendants intermarrying with Cain's rebellious descendants. Theories about the Nephilim seem to depend on who were "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men"...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I look at one passage among others considered "difficult-to-understand" from an article addressed to Christian writers: Who are "the spirits in prison" to whom Jesus preached, and when did He preach to them? We look at five different views and I reveal which one I hold. Sources Consulted: Dr. Henderson Ward, " The Most Difficult Verse in the Bible ," FaithWr...

No Christian podcast worth its salt can avoid answering the all-important question: just who were those Nephilim, anyway? Chelsea and I present the first of three popular theories about the Nephilim: that they are the offspring of fallen angels and humans. Theories about the Nephilim seem to depend on who were "the sons of God" and "the daughters of men" in Genesis chapter 6. Join us as we explore...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I look at two passages among others considered "difficult-to-understand" from an article addressed to Christian writers: Where did Cain get his wife? (Genesis 4:16-17) Why did Matthew say that Jeremiah spoke a prophecy that we find written in Zechariah? Sources Consulted: Dr. Henderson Ward, "The Most Difficult Verse in the Bible," FaithWriters, March 19, 20...

Elizabeth Marbach was the communications director for Ohio Right To Life. But on that fateful day of August 15, 2023, she dared to do the unthinkable! She tweeted a message on X that said that faith in Jesus Christ alone was the only hope anyone could have. Ohio Republican Representative Max Miller replied that it was the most bigoted post he had ever seen and demanded that she delete it. After a...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I respond to an article I read Wednesday night about how someone use ChatGPT to write some fake Bible verses. A "trans" person asked ChatGPT to conjure some virtual Bible verses that show Jesus "affirming" this lifestyle. Some comments claimed that these verses sounded more "Christian" than most Christians. I compare these AI-generated verses to statements J...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I examine a 2017 contributing article from the Huffington Post. David Wygant, a "dating and relationship coach" argues that we need to "redefine" marriage to fit modern society. How original! Wygant treats a lifetime commitment as an "illusion" and a childhood fairy tale. Since we live longer on average than our ancestors from the Middle Ages, we "grow" and...

Chelsea and I look at events surrounding, during, and after the Hunter Biden plea deal hearing in the U.S. District Federal case United States v. Biden . Wednesday, July 26, Hunter Biden was scheduled to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and a federal charge of illegal firearm possession. Critics called this a "sweetheart" plea deal. The hearing didn't go the way most of the w...

Chelsea and I look at some highlight's of Hunter Biden's sordid past that led to the U.S. District Federal case United States v. Biden . Wednesday, July 26, Hunter Biden was scheduled to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of tax evasion and a federal charge of illegal firearm possession. Critics called this a "sweetheart" plea deal. The hearing didn't go the way most of the world expected. Th...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I chat about Jesus and socialism while driving to work. A coworker recently made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 8 I look at the claim that Jesus taught "universal healthcare" by a few verses saying that He "healed everyone" in the gospels. I ask and answer three...

Chelsea and I look at the recent federal court case that is arguably the greatest battle over the First Amendment in United States history! In Missouri v. Biden , several silenced individuals join the states of Missouri and Louisiana to accuse a slate of individuals and administrative agencies of the federal government of aggressive censorship. From pandemic policies to Hunter Biden's laptop, the...

Chelsea and I look at the recent Supreme Court ruling on a case weighing the First Amendment's "free speech" clause against state "anti-discrimination" laws. In 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis , Christian web designer Lorie Smith wanted to expand her skills into the wedding business. Because she believes the Bible defines marriage as between one man and one woman, she sought a preemptive injunction in...

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I chat about Jesus and socialism while driving to work. A coworker recently made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it. In part 7 I look at the three parables in Luke chapter 15 about "lost things": The lost sheep The lost coin The lost son (the prodigal son) These parables clea...

Chelsea and I look at the recent Supreme Court ruling on two related cases about "student loan forgiveness." In one case, students believed they were entitled to an unconstitutional handout for which they didn't qualify. In the other case, the U.S. President believed he was entitled to make promises for the unconstitutional program itself. The conservative majority argued that the HEROES Act of 20...

Chelsea and I look at the ruling in the recent Supreme Court ruling on two related cases about affirmative action in college admissions. Before addressing the quarreling between the justices over how to apply the Fourteenth Amendment to college admissions, I give my own opinion that the First Amendment's "freedom of association" should legally allow universities to determine their own admission po...

Chelsea and I had an exhibit for Castle Rock Women's Health at the annual Rocky Mountain Homeschool Conference presented by Christian Home Educators of Colorado . The keynote speakers were Jeff Myers , Ruth Chou Simons , and Paul Washer . We talk about our experience there as we shared the truth of God's design for life in the womb with adults and children. On the last day of the conference I brou...
