#290 Christian Faithfulness in a Lost and Hostile Culture, with Erwin Lutzer Feb 23, 2025

Show notes

Dr. Erwin Lutzer joins the podcast to talk about his new best-selling book, The Eclipse of God. In this encouraging conversation, we discuss culture, the culture war, and the very real spiritual battle Christians are in. Dr. Lutzer touches on topics like speaking truth in love, living faithfully in a culture of distractions, and what to do when culture brings the war to our doorsteps. He also shares some history about the corrosive influence of Darwin, Freud, and Marx.

#289 Should Christians Practice Deliverance Ministry? Pt. 1, with Doug Geivett and Richard Howe Feb 16, 2025

Show notes

Many churches today practice deliverance ministry, which seeks to free people from the oppression and possession of demonic spirits and influence. Deliverance can involve practices like prayer, naming and binding demons, breaking generational curses, taking authority over spirits, and identifying sin patterns that (according to deliverance ministers) give demons "legal rights" to oppress or demonize believers. In this new multi-part series, I'm joined by Doug Geivett and Richard Howe to pose some questions about the general category of "deliverance ministry" and pose some concerns about the lack of biblical basis for these practices. In part 1 of the series, we cover the heart behind this series, and cover the topics of oppression vs. demonization vs. possession, and the concept of the authority of the believer.

#287 The Sin of People-Pleasing, with Jinger Duggar Vuolo Feb 09, 2025

Show notes

Jinger Duggar Vuolo joins the podcast to talk about how important it is to fear God over man, and how "people-pleasing" can harm relationships, silence truth, and cause mission drift. She shares her story of growing up on TV, breaking free from the false teachings of Bill Gothard, and ultimately overcoming people-pleasing to speak out against these doctrines. She speaks about navigating conflict, applying the Bible to everyday situations, and what it has cost her to fear God over man.

#286 Think the Bible Has Errors? Here's What you Might be Missing Feb 06, 2025

Show notes

Can you defend the inerrancy of Scripture? What do we mean when we say the Bible is inspired by God? Maybe you've heard that the Bible contains the word of God, or that it becomes the word of God, or that the Bible's concepts are the word of God. In today's podcast, I hope to show that the Bible, in its entirety, IS the Word of God. We talk through different views of biblical inspiration, and discuss the philosophical argument for inerrancy.

#285 Should Christians Speak up about Politics? with Natasha Crain Feb 02, 2025

Show notes

Natasha Crain joins the podcast to discuss her new book, "When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square." In this episode, we discuss the radical shift in culture since 2020 and how many Christians are now divided on how to engage with culture and politics. We cover topics such as social justice narratives, Christian nationalism, the biblical principles surrounding government, and moral issues such as abortion and gender ideology. Natasha also gives the church some fantastic advice on how to engage these difficult topics in an increasingly hostile public square.

#284 An Ex-Progressive Christian Speaks out on Deconstruction and Evangelical Culture, with Dave Stovall Jan 26, 2025

Show notes

Dave Stovall, former guitar player for Audio Adrenaline and Wavorly joins the podcast to talk about how he began to deconstruct while touring in contemporary Christian music. His deconstruction took him into progressive Christianity, where he found himself befriended by a local pastor. They began to study the Bible together, and Dave began his journey back into the historic Christian faith. Today he is a husband, dad, and local worship leader. Dave shares his story and offers some key insights into what caused him to start doubting the Evangelical faith he grew up in, and what ultimately persuaded him to lose faith in progressive Christianity.

#283 Reaction: McDowell vs. Sprinkle: Can Christians Identify as "Gay" as Long as They're Celibate? Jan 23, 2025

Show notes

In today's podcast, I offer some commentary about the recent discussion on YouTube between Sean McDowell and Preston Sprinkle. I thought Sean did a great job asking the right questions and pushing back in the right places, but thought I'd offer some additional commentary regarding the blurry language that is often used in "Side B Christianity."

#281 Social and Emotional Learning: Coming to a School Near You, with Elizabeth Urbanowicz Jan 19, 2025

Show notes

Social and Emotional Learning is a widespread process that’s implemented in public schools, and in many Christian schools. It’s a positive-sounding phrase that describes a process that claims to help people develop healthy identities, manage their emotions, establish supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. That all sounds great, but in today’s episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz joins the podcast to shine light on the dark side of this seemingly neutral tool that employs the categories of critical theory and ultimately undermine the truth of God’s Word.

#280 New Thought: The Most Influential Heresy You've Never Heard Of, with Melissa Dougherty Jan 12, 2025

Show notes

Melissa Dougherty joins the show to talk about how a widely practiced but little known movement called "New Thought" has influenced everything from the Word of Faith Movement to the Seeker Sensitive Movement to the Self-Help Industry to Progressive Christianity. Melissa spent years ascribing to various New Thought beliefs and practices such as positive affirmations, the power of positive thinking, manifesting, Christ consciousness, visualization, and believing that the vibrations and frequencies of your mind affect your reality. All the while she thought she was practicing Christianity. In today's episode, she lifts the lid off of what New Thought teaches, and traces the dark history of its influence over everyday Christians.
