Ep 855 | Responding to 'The Sparkle Creed' & Other Blasphemy | Guest: Fr Calvin Robinson

Today we're joined by one of our favorite guests, Fr. Calvin Robinson, to discuss some recent viral cases of blasphemy in the church. First we look at a clip of a female Lutheran pastor reciting what she calls the “sparkle creed,” which claims that God is non-binary and has “two dads.” We explain how this isn’t love, and it all comes down to personal arrogance in trying to shape scripture around us rather than the reverse. We also look at a German pastor who claims that “God is queer” and a “cli...

Ep 854 | Another Christian Artist Deconstructs… And Goes Drag

Today we're talking about the former lead singer of '90s Christian band Caedmon's Call, who deconstructed and has now put out a song praising drag queens, most notably his friend “Flamy Grant.” We discuss the startling trend of Christian musicians choosing to deconstruct, usually after some acceptance or adoption of the LGBTQ lifestyle. We cover why these are linked and some other reasons that might be behind Christian artists abandoning God. Then, the Library of Congress apologized for “misgend...

Ep 853 | Ne-Yo Speaks Up Against Transing Kids

Today we're talking about R&B artist Ne-Yo, who went viral Sunday after slamming parents who allow their kids to make “life-changing decisions” through gender “transitions.” Soon after, an apology was posted to his Instagram account, but he quickly posted a video doubling down on his belief that it doesn't make any sense to "transition" kids and claiming that he won't be bullied into apologizing for his opinion. While the Left is slamming him for "transphobia," we commend him for sticking up...

Ep 852 | Vivek Ramaswamy: Can a Non-Christian Champion Christian Values?

Today we're talking about a new survey that shows high school-age boys trending conservative and girls trending liberal. What led to this drastic split, and do our gender differences have anything to do with it? We think so. Also, a TikToker went viral for sharing her horrible experience getting harassed in San Francisco, but also touts explicitly leftist views and likely helped vote in the government that allows such behavior. We explain this disconnect and why it doesn't have to be this way. T...

Ep 851 | 'Church at the Movies:' Helpful or Heretical?

Today we're talking about the growing trend of movie-themed church sermons and series. We discuss Saddleback Church's recent "At the Movies" sermon series, which featured sermons on "Toy Story" and "Top Gun" and how those stories reflect some spiritual truths about us. We explain how the problem isn't stories or films themselves, many of which can indeed reflect biblical truths, but the focus on ourselves. Saddleback claims that "movies are a reflection of us – each story shows us a glimpse of t...

Ep 850 | Dennis Quaid on Faith, Addiction & 'The Parent Trap'

Today we're joined by the one and only Dennis Quaid to talk about his faith journey, his expansive acting career, and his new gospel album, "Fallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners." He shares his struggle with addiction and how his faith pulled him out of a dead end, as well as how his Baptist upbringing helped shape his faith and music today. We discuss the darkness of Hollywood, the decision to choose more "faith-based" projects, and, of course, how influential "The Parent Trap" was on us Millenn...

Ep 849 | Responding to Candace Owens & Andrew Tate | Guest: Jonathan Isaac

Today we're starting off with a response to Candace Owens' interview with Andrew Tate, in which she asks Tate about conservatives who have criticized him (and name-drops us!). We explain how, despite the assumption that we don't understand the appeal of Tate, we do think he says certain things that are correct and absolutely understand why young men might gravitate toward him. We take a look at Tate's answer to Candace asking about criticism and overall response to his content. Then, NBA player ...

Ep 848 | Saving His Son from a 'Non-Binary' Future | Guest: Harrison Tinsley

Today we're joined by Harrison Tinsley, who is fighting for custody of his young son Sawyer, whose mother is raising him as "non-binary." Harrison shares his story of being denied the chance to meet Sawyer until he was over a year old, as well as his contentious custody battle for him. Currently, Harrison has half custody and spends every second of his custody time with Sawyer, choosing not to work those days. He shares about his ideological differences with his son's mother, which he never imag...

Ep 847 | Are Aliens Just Demons?

Today we're talking about last week's House Oversight subcommittee hearing on UFOs and the revelations that came from some witnesses, one of which was that "non-human remains" have been recovered. The witness, a former U.S. intelligence official, claimed he could not elaborate further, but also mentioned that he's "absolutely certain" the U.S. government is in possession of UFOs. We look at some reactions to the hearing, which mostly boil down to ... people not caring very much. We go over our t...

Ep 846 | Hillsong, Steven Furtick & the Dangers of 'Designer' Pastors | Guest: Ben Kirby (PreachersNSneakers)

Today we're joined by Ben Kirby, founder of Instagram account @PreachersNSneakers and author of "PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities," to discuss the state of the church when it comes to wealth and prosperity and how we elevate pastors to the role of celebrity. The PreachersNSneakers account posts photos of celebrity pastors, such as Steven Furtick and Mike Todd, wearing extremely expensive clothes and sneakers and leaves the questions up to u...

Ep 845 | Tori Kelly & Other Young Stars Suddenly Collapse: What's Going On?

Today we're starting off with news of former New Hampshire state Representative "Stacie" Laughton, a male identifying as a female, who was arrested for alleged distribution of pornographic material depicting children. We go through his vast criminal history, despite being elected to office twice, and how he attempted to get photos of children from his romantic partner. Unfortunately this isn't a unique story – there are countless other examples of men who identify as women acting abusively towar...

Ep 844 | Is the Pro-Life Movement Fake? | Guest: Bradley Pierce

Today we're joined by Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion and VP of Heritage Defense, to discuss the abortion abolitionist movement and what it broadly believes. First we explain what some of the differences might be between abolitionists and pro-lifers, one of which is that abolitionists largely believe in criminal charges for a woman who gets an abortion. We discuss what justice for abortions might look like and how to balance impartiality and compassion for those m...

Ep 843 | Is 'Barbie' Secretly Conservative?

Today we're starting off with the backlash against country singer Jason Aldean's new song, "Try That in a Small Town," which describes how small towns wouldn’t put up with the kinds of riots and lawlessness that many big cities experienced during the summer of 2020. CMT removed the music video from the channel, and multiple fellow country artists have spoken out against his "call for violence." The problem? He actually does the opposite, calling for an end to the violence we saw in 2020. Then, P...

Ep 842 | The Elites’ Plan to Replace God With AI | Guest: Justin Haskins (Part Two)

Today we're joined by our friend Justin Haskins, author and director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, for part two of our conversation on what the world's elites are up to and just how concerned we need to be about it. Last week we discussed the story of a man's Amazon smart home devices shutting down after a delivery driver thought he heard a device say something racist. This serves as a good example of what we're up against in the rise of AI, but what's behind the p...

Ep 841 | Great Reset Update: The Next Phase Is Here | Guest: Justin Haskins (Part One)

Today we're joined by our friend Justin Haskins, author and director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, to get an update on what the world's elites are up to and just how concerned we need to be about it. First we give a recap on what the Great Reset is and how it's already affected the institutions we depend upon. But this plan didn't just start a few years ago, and it's a lot more long-term than people think. We cover ESG and how it has encouraged corporations to answ...

Ep 840 | A Biblical Response to Andrew Tate

Today we're doing a deep dive into the life, beliefs, and "teachings" of controversial figure Andrew Tate, who has risen to prominence in recent years through viral clips in which he gives advice to young men, supposedly teaching them how to be strong, masculine men. We cover his history, some good and bad things he's said in the past, and the allegations of criminal activity that have landed him in hot water with the government of the country he lives in, Romania. While many statements Tate has...

Ep 839 | How Christian Women Got Played by Progressivism | Guest: Chris Rufo

Today we're joined by Chris Rufo, journalist and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, to discuss where radical leftist ideologies came from and what people and groups are responsible for their infiltration of our institutions. We look at the history of Marxist ideas in America, where they stemmed from, and what the impetus was to bring them to different institutions. Many of the CRT ideas we see today actually are a repetition of radical ideas from the 1960s, which also resulted in violence...

Ep 838 | Andrew Tate, Margot Robbie & the Danger of the 'Red Pill'

Today we're starting off with news of California Democrats blocking a bill that would make child trafficking a felony. The inclusion of trafficking a minor as a “serious felony” would make that crime ineligible for plea bargaining in most circumstances, but Democrats claim this change would only increase our "investments in systems of harm." We explain why this twisted, evil position is the natural conclusion of Democrat policies and reiterate why Christians should not be voting for this party. ...

Ep 837 | The Pfizer-Biden Push For Puberty Blockers | Guest: Spencer Lindquist

Today we're joined by Spencer Lindquist, field reporter for the Daily Wire, who has recently reported on two different National Institutes of Health grants that awarded taxpayer money to clinics promoting so-called transgender care for minors. We cover the facts from these stories and explain the big money behind the push for transgender "treatment." Spoiler alert: Pfizer is invested. Then we look at a story of a smart home run largely by Amazon devices being shut down after a delivery driver mi...

Ep 836 | Surrogacy Horror: Gay ‘Dads’ Demand Abortion | Guest: Brittney Pearson

Today we're joined by Brittney Pearson, a mother of four and a two-time surrogate who found herself in a horrific situation when she was diagnosed with aggressive cancer 24 weeks into her most recent surrogacy journey. Since the baby she was carrying was already viable, she could have delivered the baby early and doctors could have attempted to save the boy, but the two men who hired Brittney refused to go that route. They wanted the “fetus,” as they called their son, aborted, even when Brittney...

Ep 835 | 'Sound of Freedom' Sabotage: What’s Going On? | Guest: Tim Ballard

Today we're joined by Tim Ballard, anti-sex-trafficking advocate and former special agent for the Department of Homeland Security, who has conducted multiple rescues of children who have been kidnapped and sold for sex. His story is the center of a new box office hit, "Sound of Freedom," starring Jim Caviezel, which shines a light on the horrors of the global sex trafficking industry. The media, though, aren’t happy about this film and its success – they’re calling it part of a QAnon conspiracy ...

Ep 834 | Did SCOTUS Legalize LGBTQ Discrimination?

Today we take a deep dive into the Supreme Court's recent decision in the case 303 Creative v. Elenis, which the Left falsely claims will give Christians the right to discriminate against the LGBTQ community. We set the record straight on these misconceptions, debunk some high-profile influencers' opinions on the matter, and explain why the Supreme Court made the right call in this case. And, as we bid farewell to this year's Pride Month, we have a message at the end of today's episode that remi...

Ep 833 | How Christianity Makes Men Better | Guest: Nancy Pearcey (Part Two)

Today we're joined by Nancy Pearcey, author of "Love Thy Body" and "The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes," for part two of our discussion on the biblical view of the body and the philosophy of “toxic masculinity.” We start off with the reality that one's view of God determines one's view of masculinity. We look at ancient philosophers as well as Charles Darwin, who all believed in an innate inferiority of women. Meanwhile, it's Christians who have been trying to ch...

Ep 832 | Fighting the Toxic War on Masculinity | Guest: Nancy Pearcey (Part One)

Today we're joined by Nancy Pearcey, author of "Love Thy Body" and "The Toxic War on Masculinity: How Christianity Reconciles the Sexes," to discuss the biblical view of the body and the philosophy of “toxic masculinity.” She shares her testimony and the origin of her interest in apologetics and engaging the secular culture. Her work helps Christians understand the philosophical history and legacy of postmodern ideas and their harmful conclusions – so where does the idea of “toxic masculinity” c...

Ep 830 | Southern Baptist Debate: Female Pastors? | Guest: Pastor Tom Ascol

Today we're joined by Pastor Tom Ascol of Grace Baptist Church to discuss the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting held a few weeks ago, where the big topic was whether Rick Warren's Saddleback Church would remain in the SBC after its new stance on female pastors. Pastor Tom breaks down what happened and the major arguments, as well as why Rick Warren's argument doesn't hold up against biblical standards. We discuss how God does in fact equip women to share the gospel and learn theology,...

Ep 829 | Demi Lovato Needs Jesus

Today we're starting off with a much-needed, good-news story of a firefighter who found a baby in a Safe Haven Baby Box at his fire station and proceeded to adopt her. We talk about the beauty of God knowing exactly what family this little baby was going to be a part of. Unfortunately, it's not all good news. We also look at Demi Lovato's new song "Swine," which is a vulgar pro-abortion anthem. We read some of Demi's crass lyrics and explain why we actually just feel bad for how lost she is. The...

Ep 828 | I Called Obama Evil. Christians Got Mad. Who’s Right?

Today we're talking about Obama's tweet condemning the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which shows just how evil the pro-abortion philosophy is. We give a reminder of what an abortion actually is and explain how only an evil ideology could not only allow such a thing but actively applaud it. Then we look at Justin Giboney's "AND Campaign" response to us, which claims that our argument that Christians should not vote Democrat really means Christians should vote Republican. We explain why this isn't n...

Ep 827 | The World Economic Forum’s Plot to “Correct” Christianity

Today we're covering various topics in the news. First, an update on the lost Titanic tourist submersible search and some of the bizarre stories coming out surrounding it. We look at an insane post from the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) which condemns Florida for executing a serial rapist/murderer while not providing him tax-payer subsidized gender transition "treatments" and transferred to a women's prison. We take a look at his horrifying criminal history and why this contributes even ...

We explain why it's been difficult to catch up. Then, a tourist submarine touring the Titanic remains has gone missing, and the search is still on. We discuss this terrifying scenario and look a...
