  • E289 Free Exercise: Use it or Lose it

    E289 Free Exercise: Use it or Lose it
    2026/02/26
    The Church is emerging from a long, unsettling silence—a kind of cultural laryngitis—and its prophetic voice is rising once again. But as that voice grows stronger, so does the backlash. In this episode, we confront the resistance head‑on and explore why the pushback is intensifying now. We also break down Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s forceful address at the Munich Security Conference. Was it a moment of moral clarity—or political theater? And how does it measure up against a biblical worldview?

    E288 Legacy Media's Plummeting Public Trust
    2026/02/19
    A striking new Pew Research Center survey reveals a deep crisis of trust in American journalism: 57% of the public now says they have little or no confidence that journalists act in the public’s best interests. Meanwhile, legacy newsrooms are being gutted, with sweeping staff cuts accelerating as readership plummets and once-dominant institutions struggle to stay afloat.

    E286 When Protest Becomes Performance
    2026/02/05
    When toxic empathy is weaponized, it is used to undermine the institutions that have stood for centuries. Complex policy questions are reduced to adolescent emotional reactions leading to symbolic legislation with ripples of unintended consequences. White, woke, liberal women are the stars of the show.

  • E285 Minnesota Mayhem

    E285 Minnesota Mayhem
    2026/01/29

    Good government helps people live “quiet and peaceable” lives (1 Timothy 2:1–2). But when government fails, the results look a lot like what we’ve seen in Minneapolis—lawlessness, chaos, violence, and destruction.

    So how do we address these problems? What does Scripture say, and what practical steps can we take today?

    We dig into all of that on this episode. Tune in!

  • E284 Social Justice is Neither

    E284 Social Justice is Neither
    2026/01/22

    In this episode, we talk about a recent incident where anti‑ICE protesters actually interrupted a worship service, calling it an act of “social justice.” We break down whether actions like that are really protected as free speech, and we look at how the idea of biblical justice compares with what’s often called social justice today.

    We also dive into the ongoing debate around gender definitions—specifically why some female Supreme Court justices have avoided defining the word woman, and what that means for protecting women’s privacy, safety, and fairness in places like locker rooms and sports.

    E283 Toxic Empathy Kills
    2026/01/15
    The recent tragic death of Renee Good, who was fatally shot during an encounter with ICE agents, has sparked deep questions and emotions across America. As Christians, how should we respond to this complex situation? Was Renee acting as a passionate advocate for justice, or did her actions cross into dangerous territory that undermined lawful authority? Was her stance an expression of biblical compassion, or does this reflect the pitfalls of misguided and toxic empathy? In this episode, we explore these challenging questions and consider what Scripture teaches about justice, authority, and compassion in a polarized world.

    E282 America Delivered from Two Tyrants in One Week
    2026/01/08

    Venezuela’s long nightmare has come to an end. Delta Force, America’s elite special operations unit, has captured narco-dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia, bringing them to the United States to face charges related to drugs and weapons trafficking. Across Venezuela, citizens are celebrating in the streets. Meanwhile, Democrats in Washington are calling for the tyrant’s release.

    On the home front, Americans received more good news: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced he will not seek re-election. The decision comes as he faces mounting scrutiny over an estimated $10 billion in taxpayer fraud spanning 15 years—now considered the largest case of taxpayer fraud in U.S. history.
