Today we're talking to nationally syndicated radio host Jesse Kelly. Kelly has branded himself not only conservative, but as a staunch "anti-communist," and he explains exactly what that means.

Today we're talking to Kenny Xu, author of "An Inconvenient Minority," about how the high rate of success among Asian Americans pokes holes in the Left's narrative about white supremacy in America. Xu points out the alarming decline in meritocracy in America, especially regarding college admissions, where institutional racism has returned in a bizarre way. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs has the Young Woodworkers Kit Club & the Creative Girls Club to help your kids develop actual skil...
We're excited to interview theologian Dr. Carl Trueman about the transgender theory that is quickly gaining support in America.

This episode delves into three significant listener questions. Allie explores the doctrine of "once saved, always saved," presenting biblical arguments for eternal security while acknowledging differing views among sincere Christians. She then outlines the fundamental distinctions between Mormonism and Orthodox Christianity, primarily focusing on the nature of God and the deity of Jesus Christ. Finally, the discussion shifts to the practical question of political alignment in marriage, emphasizing shared core values and worldview over specific policy agreements for a strong relationship.
Women are bearing the unintended consequences of a completely mismanaged mass migration system in Europe: a sexual assault and harassment crisis. What is the way forward, and how can this crisis be stopped? Today we are joined by human rights activist and author Ayaan Hirsi Ali to talk about her new book, "Prey: Immigration, Islam and the Erosion of Women's Rights," and why she's so passionate about being a clear voice of morality and truth in this time of cultural relativism and postmodernism. ...
Today we'll take a deep dive into an often-misinterpreted Bible verse: Micah 6:8. Some on the progressive side of Christianity use this verse to give credence to their social justice narratives, but is this verse really about making changes to society? --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs helps you make the most of your "me-time" with a monthly creative retreat.

What is "progressive Christianity"? Do "progressive Christians" believe that God is evolving and changing? And if so, can they truly call themselves Christians? In today's episode, author and speaker Alisa Childers is back to talk about her own journey through progressive Christianity and how she came out of that system of beliefs. Plus, how orthodox Christians can best be in conversation with progressive Christians and why it's important to define your terms! --- Today's Sponsor: Freedom Projec...

Today we're thrilled to be speaking with both of the hosts of the "Just Thinking" podcast, Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker. We'll be discussing the idea of "liberation theology," as espoused by Ibram X. Kendi, and how it gets both human nature and the Bible totally wrong.

Today's conversation is with Ryan Anderson, an expert on family, social, and cultural issues and how they affect our highly politicized world today. Anderson has advice for how Christians can face the increasing opposition to traditional values in America. He also argues that simply standing by and hoping for the best is no longer good enough — it's time to stand up and join the discourse, actively speaking in favor of the ideas and values we Christians hold dear. --- Today's Sponsor: Patriot Mo...

Justin Giboney, Democrat and founder of the AND Campaign, joins us to offer his view on ways to pursue bipartisan agreement on today’s hot-button political and social issues. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs has the perfect subscription box for both boys, & girls!

Today we have the honor of speaking with Victor Davis Hanson, a military historian and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. Hanson is an expert on postmodernism, its history, and how this progressive way of thinking is slowly but surely working its way into American society.

Were you or was someone you know raised to believe that the King James Version of the Bible is the only "correct" version? People have many different reasons for believing this about the KJV, and today we'll delve into the history and theology of the matter to see if there's any truth to the KJV-only way of thinking. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs have the perfect subscription box for both boys, and girls.

Today we're excited to speak with Pastor James Coates, who thankfully has been released from jail after refusing to comply with Canada's COVID-19 guidelines. Authorities in Edmonton, Alberta, demanded that Pastor Coates stop holding his church service at full capacity, but he found that to be in violation of his duty to God and the church congregation. We'll talk about what it was like for Pastor Coates in jail, the events leading up to his imprisonment, and the next steps for Grace Life Church,...
Today we're talking education. The Association of Christian Schools International has partnered with UnifiED. UnifiED is a group that seems to have good, Biblical goals, but it's worth exploring the connections the organization seems to have to the tenets of Critical Race Theory. And, in Virginia and Texas, radical curriculums on race and sex are being pushed by the progressive Left, and any parents who have a problem with it are being treated very harshly, as these stories will show. Lastly, we...
Today we’re going to talk about the drama surrounding self-help author Rachel Hollis, as well as a few other crazy things we’re seeing from progressive Christianity. The problem with these self-help gurus is that if your problems are originating from inside yourself, you need to turn to something outside yourself for help. Specifically, God. Hollis made a video that drew ire from both the Right and the Left. She tried to offer an apology, but unsurprisingly, it made things worse. Then, we discus...
Today we're focusing on vaccine passports, what they are, and what they could mean for our freedom. Some countries already have vaccine programs in place, requiring people to show proper documentation in order to participate in daily life. It doesn't take a genius to see that this is a very dark path. To give perspective on the technological side of vaccine passports, we talk to Naomi Wolf, author and CEO of DailyClout. Lastly, we address the concerns of some Christians that the vaccine passport...
Yesterday was Easter, and most of us were spending time with our families, thinking about the ultimate sacrifice made by God and Jesus. However, progressive Christians on Twitter were as active as ever, offering their wrong opinions on how Easter and Jesus' resurrection are actually about being anti-capitalist, or anti-racist, or something. These are aspects of liberation theology, a wholly un-biblical way of looking at the Bible. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs means no more trips to the...
Today we're focusing on good news in the U.S. and around the world. It's almost Good Friday, so of course we're aware of the best news of all: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But there's some good news on Earth, too. The Left is trying to push its ideology in school, but there are lots of organizations popping up whose mission is to oppose things like critical race theory in school. Check them out, because the best way to fight against this kind of thing is to unite with other like-m...
Today we're going over the Derek Chauvin trial and the tragic events that led up to it. We also look at some of the statistics that reveal the truth about police brutality in the United States. Remember, God commands us to be impartial when administering justice, but many on the Left will view Chauvin as guilty no matter what the facts show. --- Today's Sponsor: "ABC - Life in the Womb" is a fun & educational alphabet book for kids to learn how babies grow & develop in their mother's wom...
Today we're mainly talking about Georgia and the changes to election law that Governor Brian Kemp and Republicans are pushing through. The GOP says that the new rules will make elections more secure, but Democrats like Stacey Abrams are saying the opposite, that this will only make voter suppression worse. The Left wants you to think this is literally Jim Crow 2.0, but is that really the case? To address questions about the law, Governor Kemp himself joins us to give his take. And, the incessant...
Over the weekend we got a ton of requests to talk about the rapper Lil Nas X and the Satan shoes he released for sale. The shoes feature a pentagram pendant, a Bible verse about Satan, and a drop of human blood in the sole (gross). While it's true this is an example of our society's rapid moral decline, it's also possible to see this in an encouraging light. We Christians know that God can use anything, even something evil or ridiculous (or both, like these shoes), to demonstrate his glory and b...
We start today by taking stock of what’s going on in America under Biden. Seems like nothing is going well and progressive Christians aren’t getting anything they wanted from the new administration, especially when it comes to the southern border and abortion policy. But it’s not all bad news today! Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church, who was jailed for holding services at his church in violation of Canada’s COVID-19 lockdown regulations, has recently been released. And, in weirder news, a...
How do Christians think through these issues? Another mass shooting — this one in Boulder, Colorado — was originally called an act of white supremacy until it was reported that the shooter isn't white. Plus, talking to Cam Edwards, host of the "Bearing Arms" podcast, about the more technical side of things: What gun was used? What category is it in? What laws do Dems want to pass, and would those laws have prevented the tragedy in Boulder? What are some real solutions to this disturbing problem?...
