    CCP218: On Using Magic for Love
    2026/10/30

    In this week’s conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the fact that a lot of people today believe magic can play a role in their relationships. A recent survey revealed some interesting beliefs surrounding magic and love. The results were captured in an article written by Emma Patterson titled “64% of Gen Z Have Tried Something Spiritual, Psychic, or ‘Witchy’ for Love. It really is shocking how much thinking like this is invading our culture today.

    As Alexis mentioned, this is not the first time that the world of the supernatural has been a topic on the podcast. Here are some past episodes that we suggest you check out if you missed them: CCP180: On Magic, CCP171: On Halloween, CCP151: On Spirits and Ghosts and CCP11: On Wicca.

    Dr. White also delivered a message series at Mecklenburg Community Church to help people have a better understanding of our world and the spiritual realm. You can find the installments of the series “Paranormal” HERE. There was another article that Dr. White mentioned that was discussed in today’s episode. Written by Syeda Khaula Saad in Cosmopolitan, it’s titled “An Etsy Witch Talks Love and Devotion Spells.” And finally, Dr. White made reference to the writings of Pitirim A. Sorokin, and particularly his lengthy four-volume work Social and Cultural Dynamics.

    CCP217: On Online Sports Betting
    2026/10/23
    In this week’s conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the world of online sports betting, which is becoming more and more popular each year. In fact, nearly a quarter of Americans claim to have personally bet money on sports in the past year. So does the Bible have anything to say about this? And about gambling in general? Today’s episode digs into these questions.Episode LinksDr. White wrote a blog on this topic that we’d suggest you go back and revisit. It’s called “Gambling on the Game,” and you can find it on the Church & Culture website HERE. The topic of gambling was also an installment of an incredibly popular series that Dr. White gave at Mecklenburg Community Church. The title of the series was “Is it okay for a Christian to…,” and the installments filled in the blank with a host of topics that people have questions about when it comes to the Christian faith. You can find that series HERE.There are a number of articles that served as sources for the content in today’s conversation.

  • CCP216: On Having Christian Candidates in Both Political Parties

    CCP216: On Having Christian Candidates in Both Political Parties
    2026/10/16

    In this week’s conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss a recent NPR article focusing on the common thread that's present in the midterm campaigns of multiple Democratic candidates. Several office-seekers have made their Christian faith central to their campaign, using it to either explain or justify their positions or postures, or in order to display how important their faith is to their public life. What is causing this rise in the Democratic candidates appealing to their faith, and how does this trend square with the rise of the “nones” in the U.S.?

    Episode Links

    As both Alexis and Dr. White noted, this is not the first time that our conversation on the podcast has turned to the world of politics. Here are a number of past episodes (some of which were referenced), that you may be interested in going back to listen to if you missed them:

    CCP201: On Christian Nationalism (Summer Rerun)

    CCP168: On Pastors Promoting Political Candidates

    CCP129: On the 2024 Election Results

    CCP112: On January 6 and the Fastest Growing Christian Movement in America

    CCP83: On Christians and Government

    CCP82: On Christians and Politics

    Above we mentioned the rise of the “nones.” For those who may not know, Dr. White wrote an entire book on this demographic and their impact on our culture. You can find The Rise of the Nones on Amazon HERE.
