Shiloh Hendrix was the white woman who called an autistic 5 year old boy a racial slur and unapologetically doubled down on her actions when confronted, then proceeded to raise nearly a million dollars on GiveSendGo to cover costs associated with the fallout of her decision. The panel was di...

Episode 203 Jordan Peterson collaborated with Jubilee and agreed to debate 20 atheists. He made four claims: Atheists reject God but they don't know what they are rejecting. Morality and purpose cannot be found within science. Everyone, including atheists, worships something, even if they don't know it. Atheists accept Christian morality but deny Christianity's foundational stories. While some of the atheists engaged in good faith, some were only there for the viral video moment. As a result, ma...

Episode 199 When Daniel Penny's intervention on a New York subway unintentionally resulted in the death of Jordan Neely, the country was up in arms and he was public enemy #1. When Luigi Mangione (allegedly, as of this post) deliberately took the life of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, millions rose to his defense and hailed him a hero. Why is that the case? The situations couldn't be more clear and diverse, yet evil is called good and good, evil. On this episode of the Removing Barriers p...

Our scientific knowledge has multiplied to the point that the story of the sun standing still in the sky is just fantastic, right? Or could it be that these things really did happen, and the bible is completely trustworthy and its author's claims should be taken to heart? On this episode of the Removing Barrier podcast, we sit down with Dr. Phil Stringe...

Episode 188 On this episode of the Removing Barriers Podcast, we sit down in the studio with Mike P. from episode 50 to discuss Greek! The New Testament was in Greek, so it stands to reason that studying Greek guarantees a deeper and more thorough understanding of what the Bible says.

We don't need a bad meme to know that of all the nations on earth, the United States is the only one with the right to keep and bear arms enshrined in the law of the land with absolutely no restrictions. There are more guns than people in the U.S., and the number of gun owners in any other nation pales in comparison. But the United States is also in significant moral decline, and the absolute tragedy of preventable gun...

Episode 185 It is no surprise that the institution of marriage is under attack in the West. This is not new, and for many decades now, the biblical tenets of marriage have been questioned, disregarded, eroded, and in some cases, destroyed or forgotten. Divorce lawyers, having made a living off the dissolution of marriage, have now taken to social media to add to the attack, under the guise of "real talk" or helping clients with "reality." How did we get here? What does the Bible say about marria...
