• E319 Christ, Chaos and the Power of Cockroaches
    Oct 8 2026

    In this episode, we examine what we believe is the defining choice facing America in the coming midterm elections: Christ or chaos. We discuss why Christians must move beyond passive observation and embrace meaningful grassroots engagement, recognizing that lasting cultural change begins with ordinary citizens who are willing to act.

    We highlight the rise of India's Cockroach Janta Party, a youth-led movement that demonstrates the surprising power of grassroots activism and the ability of everyday people to challenge established institutions.

    We also explore the ongoing decline of the Nike brand, the growing public distrust of legacy media, and the reason so many Americans are turning away from outlets they perceive as purveyors of misinformation and ideological narratives.

    Finally, we discuss how the reduction of USAID funding has exposed the dependence of many activist causes on government support, raising important questions about which movements are truly grassroots and which are sustained by taxpayer dollars.

    Join us as we consider the spiritual, cultural, and political challenges of our moment and why faithful Christian engagement is essential for the future of our nation.

  • E317 Mid-terms & Media Accountability
    Sep 24 2026

    The midterm elections are only seven weeks away, and the decisions made today will shape the future for generations to come. Drawing from the example of King Hezekiah, we discuss the danger of focusing on personal peace and security while neglecting our responsibility to future generations. We also examine President Trump's exclusion of certain "fake news" outlets from press conferences and explore a biblical perspective on truth, media accountability, and discernment in the public square.

  • E315 Treasuring Children, Cherishing Truth
    Sep 3 2026

    This episode examines the biblical view of marriage, family, and children in contrast to modern cultural trends. We argue that children are a gift from God and that marriage is a lifelong covenant designed not only for companionship but also for nurturing the next generation. Drawing from Romans 1, our conversation explores how society's rejection of God's design has led to confusion about truth, family, and human flourishing and concludes with reflections on Christianity's role in public life, encouraging believers to engage cultural debates with conviction while remaining grounded in a biblical worldview.

  • E313 The Global Epidemic Called Loneliness
    Aug 20 2026

    In this episode, we tackle a growing global epidemic: loneliness. With nearly 1 in 3 American adults reporting feelings of loneliness, we explore the personal, emotional, and spiritual impact of living disconnected from others.

    We also discuss the vital role the local church plays in addressing this crisis. God designed us for community, and the church provides a place where meaningful relationships, encouragement, accountability, and belonging can flourish.

  • E312 The WNBA Circus & Democratic Socialist Utopian Dreams
    Aug 13 2026
    Truth is coherent, unified, and internally consistent. False worldviews, by contrast, eventually collapse under the weight of their own contradictions. We see signs of this in our culture today. For example, the WNBA continues to wrestle with fundamental questions of identity and definition. At the same time, we are witnessing a renewed interest in Marxist and socialist visions of a utopian social order. Yet when the doctrine of human sinfulness is rejected, people are tempted to believe that flawed human beings can somehow construct a perfect society. History repeatedly demonstrates the opposite. The result is often an ever-expanding state, increased government control, and, ultimately, the erosion of human freedom.
