Gary discusses the recent ousting of Speaker McCarthy and what political writer Jason Whitlock calls the "Gaetzful 8." Whitlock compares the 8 to Gideon's 300 and the idea of the remnant. Pastors are also (slowly) beginning to wake up and get vocal. All good things, but we must always be mindful of history, as Gary is quick to point out.

Oct 06, 2023•28 min•Ep 459•Transcript available on Metacast Gary discusses a speech given by Pastor Jack Hibbs to the Family Research Council about the state of the culture. While much of what Pastor Hibbs says is true and good, his eschatology and "last days" teaching is counterproductive, and even contrary, to his larger message. He wants Christians and the Church to get involved and be salt and light in a tasteless and dark world, yet he also teaches that much of the cultural darkness is an indication that Jesus' return is near.
Oct 04, 2023•24 min•Ep 458•Transcript available on Metacast Gary highlights a few recent news articles that are actually encouraging. Most major news stories are negative and stories that do not support the mainstream narrative are usually buried. Never fear though, Gary has done the searching and the researching so you can be encouraged too.
Oct 02, 2023•26 min•Ep 457•Transcript available on Metacast Gary answers a listener question regarding Matthew 24:29-31. Did stars fall from the sky and did the angels gather the elect in AD 70? If so, how? When interpreting Scripture, we must not let the events change the time. If a particular event doesn't meet our expectations, we need to ask why according to the rest of the Bible, not our assumptions. The time texts constrain the events to a particular timeframe. "This generation," "immediately," "right at the door," and other phrases indicate the ti...
Sep 29, 2023•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast Gary deals with an argument making the rounds on social media about Biblical Law. In keeping with the "carnal Christian" debate that was popular in the 1990s, a new group of Christians are positing a similar argument about Old Testament law being "done away with" by Jesus on the cross. Every "position" has some sort of law, and this one is no different. As Gary points out, it's very similar to the "borrowed capital" argument that atheists rely on to make their own case.
Sep 27, 2023•27 min•Ep 456•Transcript available on Metacast Gary continues his response to Answers in Genesis' Ken Ham. Ham uses 2 Peter 3 to show that we are in the "last days." This has been done time and time again, and every time it has been shown to be wrong. Peter was speaking about events of his own day in the first century, not about the state of the culture or the church in our day. Read the article by David Chilton and Gary DeMar on 2 Peter 3 here: https://americanvision.org/3603/what-does-peter-mean-by-the-passing-away-of-heaven-and-earth-a-st...
Sep 25, 2023•23 min•Ep 455•Transcript available on Metacast Gary responds to a recent Facebook article posted by Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis. To set the stage in this first part, he reads a few passages from Henry Morris' book, Creation and the Second Coming . Ham and Morris worked together in the years before Answers in Genesis was founded. Although Ham doesn't normally teach on eschatology, what he wrote in his article is clearly influenced by Morris and his dispensational views.
Sep 22, 2023•28 min•Ep 454•Transcript available on Metacast It's finally here! Gary's newest book, the one he's been working for years, is now ready and in stock. Why It Might Be OK to Eat Your Neighbor is much more than a provocative title, it is a practical apologetic work that pushes the antithesis of those who claim there is no God, using their own words. This book will help many to wrap their minds around the moral and ethical problems (to name but two) with consistent atheism and pure materialism.
Sep 20, 2023•25 min•Ep 453•Transcript available on Metacast Listen in as Gary is interviewed on the Plow and Potato show. The topic is the relationship between individual households and the State. Who's in charge, and what's their jurisdiction? These questions and many more are discussed in this short but insightful exchange.
Sep 18, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Gary responds to a video where a pastor claims you must "rightly divide the Bible," based on 2 Timothy 2:15. By this he means that you must rightly divide the "people" of God into Jew and Gentile and understand New Testament passages in light of "the Church age." The Bible never speaks of a "Church age" but this does not prevent many from claiming that it must be there all the same. They claim it is inferred and is the "key" to correctly interpreting Jesus' prophetic words in the Olivet Discours...
Sep 15, 2023•39 min•Transcript available on Metacast Gary answers a listener question about the audience change between Matthew 23 and 24. Audience relevance is a major aspect of the Olivet Discourse and the events leading up to Jesus' prophecies about the destruction of the temple. Is Matthew 23 and Matthew 24 and following addressed to a different people and speaking of different events and times?
Sep 13, 2023•24 min•Ep 452•Transcript available on Metacast Gary discusses an article about the upcoming presidential election and the fatigue about the entire process being experienced by the majority of voters. Most people are more concerned with the pressing affairs of their daily life than with the current state of Washington corruption. Tired of being constantly pummeled by political noise, many are checked out, but this doesn't prevent media outlets from creating stories out of thin air (or Twitter).
Sep 11, 2023•21 min•Ep 451•Transcript available on Metacast Gary interacts with Carl Trueman's newest books about "expressive individualism" and the modern "truth" of the interior self. This is one of the primary philosophies driving political and social policy and it is nothing more than sin masquerading as reality. However, the fact that will not be tolerated is that there is one revealed objective Truth. Read Carl Trueman's article here: https://www.crossway.org/articles/what-does-it-mean-to-be-your-true-self/...
Sep 08, 2023•23 min•Ep 450•Transcript available on Metacast Gary responds to several recent articles about the state of the world and the end times. Christians bemoan the sin and depravity they see around them, but then claim that these things are a confirmation that the "end is near." While the world is certainly in need of repair, things getting "worse and worse" is not proof that the last days spoken of the Bible are in our "near" future and "soon" to take place.
Sep 06, 2023•34 min•Ep 449•Transcript available on Metacast Gary responds to a video where a woman is raging against Christians and the Bible. She claims that she "doesn't care what a mythical god says in his mythical book." She appeals to the Constitution as giving her "rights," proving that she misunderstands both the Constitution and where rights and morality come from in the first place.
Sep 04, 2023•22 min•Transcript available on Metacast Gary discusses a recent dust-up at a school in Colorado regarding the Gadsden Flag. Administrators at the school told a student that he needed to remove a Gadsden patch from his backpack because it was a racist symbol. Gary sets the record straight. Note: Listen all the way to the end to hear an update from Gary about this controversy at the school.
Sep 01, 2023•29 min•Ep 448•Transcript available on Metacast You've heard it said over and over again that morality can't be legislated, but this is impossible. Every law is an imposition of someone's morality. In this encore episode from a couple of years back, Gary discusses this topic in much more depth, showing the impossibility of a "neutral" law system.
Aug 30, 2023•21 min•Transcript available on Metacast Gary continues his response to an individual that claims Torah law no longer applies to Christians. Are we to believe that these moral standards disappeared with the coming of the New Covenant, and they no longer have any application to the nations? Paul talks about "the law being written on our hearts," and yet this law seems to be a lot like the law written on stone tablets.
Aug 28, 2023•27 min•Ep 447•Transcript available on Metacast Gary responds to an individual that claims Torah law no longer applies to Christians. Are we to believe that these moral standards disappeared with the coming of the New Covenant, and they no longer have any application to the nations? “Walking by the Spirit” (Gal. 5:16) necessitates walking by an objective standard.
Aug 25, 2023•26 min•Ep 446•Transcript available on Metacast Gary interviews Rhonda Thomas about the current trend in education: social and emotional learning. Children are being indoctrinated in the classroom, but you knew that already. However, it doesn't stop with the public schools; these educational policies are also entering and being taught in Christian schools, albeit with a Bible verse or two.
Aug 23, 2023•24 min•Ep 445•Transcript available on Metacast Gary interviews Ray Moore with Exodus Mandate about homeschooling, Christian schools, and a debate that Ray did over America's Christian history. Ray is a major proponent of getting Christians to leave public schools and his organization provides support and educational materials to aid in the transition once parents decide to educate at home or even start a Christian school in their area.
Aug 21, 2023•21 min•Ep 444•Transcript available on Metacast In this interview from a couple years back, Gary talks movies and television with Loor.TV screenwriter Jason Farley. As a former pastor, Jason recognizes the Bible as a story, and how its story should influence our own entertainment and storytelling. Culture is affected most deeply by its stories, and Christians too often tell weak stories in very poor ways with unrealistic characters. If Christianity is serious about changing the culture it must begin writing and telling better stories.
Aug 18, 2023•30 min•Transcript available on Metacast Dr. Gary North concludes his discussion of how the Scopes Trial and the ensuing political developments shaped the 20th century. Politics gets all the focus, but if every Christian began thinking and teaching how their worldview affects everything from car and home repair to art and music, as well as education (and politics), the battle would be won in short order. We must lose the "woe is me" mentality and develop a "why not me" mentality and strategy instead.
Aug 16, 2023•26 min•Ep 443•Transcript available on Metacast Dr. Gary North continues his discussion of how the Scopes Trial and the ensuing political developments shaped the 20th century. Christians began to get politically involved late in the 1970s but didn't have a unique tactic to extend their game plan. A defensive plan is good in the beginning but an offensive strategy is necessary to sustain the momentum.
Aug 14, 2023•26 min•Ep 442•Transcript available on Metacast Gary responds to an author that claims to refute his book, Last Days Madness . The author makes similar arguments to those that have been made by various dispensationalists over the years, but his novel modification of the translation of Matthew 24:34 inspired Gary to interact directly.
Aug 11, 2023•33 min•Transcript available on Metacast Gary interacts with two articles by David Jeremiah and Dr. Michael Brown regarding the climate of the modern Church. Both use current events to point to the "fact" of the nearness of the "last days." As Solomon said, "there is nothing new under the sun," and that's especially true in the area of prophetic speculation.
Aug 09, 2023•30 min•Ep 441•Transcript available on Metacast Gary discusses a new book called America's Cultural Revolution by Christopher Rufo. In this book, Rufo shows how the leftist takeover was both intentional and long-term. While it actually took much less than fifty years, it was strategic and didn't require a fight. Conservatives stood by and allowed it to happen in plain sight.
Aug 07, 2023•30 min•Ep 440•Transcript available on Metacast In this talk from a recent prophecy conference, Gary discusses the controversy he was involved in and gives a few reasons why simple answers to complex questions don't suffice. He brings up creeds, history, and interpretations that have changed over the years as evidence that there's much more to the debate than first meets the eye.
Aug 04, 2023•38 min•Ep 439•Transcript available on Metacast Dr. Gary North concludes this talk about the importance and historic significance of the Scopes Trial and William Jennings Bryan. A committed anti-Darwinist, Bryan saw the implications of Darwinism for culture and society and recognized its attack on Christianity, both implicitly and explicitly. (Part Two of Two)
Aug 02, 2023•26 min•Ep 438•Transcript available on Metacast In one of American Vision's talks from the archives, Dr. Gary North discusses the Scopes Trial and the importance of William Jennings Bryan as an American political figure. So many aspects of modern media came out the trial, and Dr. North exposes all of it in this fascinating presentation. (Part One of Two)
