Ep 394 | Voter Suppression in Georgia? | Guest: Governor Brian Kemp
30/03/2021 Duração: 52minToday we're mainly talking about Georgia and the changes to election law that Governor Brian Kemp and Republicans are pushing through. The GOP says that the new rules will make elections more secure, but Democrats like Stacey Abrams are saying the opposite, that this will only make voter suppression worse. The Left wants you to think this is literally Jim Crow 2.0, but is that really the case? To address questions about the law, Governor Kemp himself joins us to give his take. And, the incessant media lies and gaslighting have led those on the Right to use the term BlueAnon to jokingly refer to people who believe the leftist narrative. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: Experience crafts like painting, needlecraft, beading, candle and soap making, and a whole lot more.

Ep 393 | Lil Nas X’s Satan Shoes & Why Christians Should Rejoice
29/03/2021 Duração: 48minOver the weekend we got a ton of requests to talk about the rapper Lil Nas X and the Satan shoes he released for sale. The shoes feature a pentagram pendant, a Bible verse about Satan, and a drop of human blood in the sole (gross). While it's true this is an example of our society's rapid moral decline, it's also possible to see this in an encouraging light. We Christians know that God can use anything, even something evil or ridiculous (or both, like these shoes), to demonstrate his glory and bring people closer to him. --- Today's Sponsor: Built Bar is high in protein and fiber, and low in calories and carbs.

Ep 392 | America’s in Trouble & So Is Cinnamon Toast Crunch
25/03/2021 Duração: 41minWe start today by taking stock of what’s going on in America under Biden. Seems like nothing is going well and progressive Christians aren’t getting anything they wanted from the new administration, especially when it comes to the southern border and abortion policy. But it’s not all bad news today! Pastor James Coates of Grace Life Church, who was jailed for holding services at his church in violation of Canada’s COVID-19 lockdown regulations, has recently been released. And, in weirder news, a man found pieces of shrimp in his cereal. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs: March is National Crafting Month & Annie's Kit Club is celebrating with a special 50% offer, off a creative, fun, and hands on way to help take your mind off life's stress and aggravation.

Ep 391 | Boulder Shooting: When 'White Supremacists' Aren't White
24/03/2021 Duração: 55minHow do Christians think through these issues? Another mass shooting — this one in Boulder, Colorado — was originally called an act of white supremacy until it was reported that the shooter isn't white. Plus, talking to Cam Edwards, host of the "Bearing Arms" podcast, about the more technical side of things: What gun was used? What category is it in? What laws do Dems want to pass, and would those laws have prevented the tragedy in Boulder? What are some real solutions to this disturbing problem? --- Today's Sponsors: Kitty Poo Club: Give yourself the gift that keep on giving the whole year: a Kitty Poo Club subscription.

Ep 390 | Kristi Noem Betrays Girls' Sports; the PRO Act Betrays Freelancers | Guest: Kelsey Bolar
23/03/2021 Duração: 51minToday we’re talking to Kelsey Bolar, senior policy analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum, about two important topics. First, South Dakota governor Kristi Noem’s decision to backtrack on legislation that would protect girls’ and women’s sports. This has disappointed many conservatives, wondering if she’s "sold out" to the NCAA. Then, Kelsey talks about the PRO Act, a piece of federal legislation that would make working as a freelancer or independent contractor unnecessarily difficult. It aims to bring California’s "ABC Test" to the national level, even after it has devastated that state’s gig economy. --- Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile never sends any money to the Left - they will never silence you & they're America's ONLY Christian conservative wireless provider.

Ep 389 | Anti-Asian Crimes & Our Obligation to the Truth
22/03/2021 Duração: 01h18minToday we're going to discuss a heavy topic: the horrific shooting in Atlanta last week, the allegations of white supremacy surrounding the situation, and the truth behind the alleged rise in anti-Asian hate crimes. As Christians, we know each life has infinite value because we are all image bearers of God, regardless of our skin color. So, it's wrong to try to quantify the evil perpetrated in Atlanta by looking at whose skin was what color. And yet, that's exactly what the media and progressives are doing. That kind of thinking only impedes real progress and distracts from other issues like human trafficking and the objectification of women by society. --- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar is the rare item of food that's both healthy & delicious!

Ep 388 | The Border Crisis & Loving the Foreigner | Guest: Daniel Horowitz
18/03/2021 Duração: 01h18minToday, we’re discussing the growing border crisis happening under the Biden administration. It’s recently been revealed that thousands more migrants are coming to the U.S. than previously thought. Does the U.S. have an obligation to let them all in? Christians on the Left often quote Exodus to "prove" why America should have open borders or more progressive immigration law. This, however, is a misreading of the verse. To talk more about the border crisis, Daniel Horowitz joins the show. Daniel, host of the Conservative Review podcast, has been following the border issue for years and provides historical insight and commentary on how COVID-19 is affecting the situation. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs is celebrating National Crafting Month with a special 50% off offer for a creative, fun, and hands-on way to help take our mind off life's stress and aggravation.

Ep 387 | What’s a Woman? Culture’s Confused; Christianity Is Clear
17/03/2021 Duração: 59minToday is "Women Wednesday"! (Why? Because we said so.) We'll be talking about a few news stories about women, as well as discussing the biblical idea of womanhood. Was the Grammy performance we saw from Cardi B empowering to women? There's also the drama surrounding Tucker Carlson and women in the military. We get it, and we agree, women are awesome. But maybe, just maybe, there are some jobs more suited for men. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs is celebrating National Crafting Month with a special 50% off a creative, fun, & hands-on way to help take your mind off life's stress and aggravation.

Ep 386 | Why Pope Francis Is Right on Marriage
16/03/2021 Duração: 55minPope Francis just made headlines for affirming the biblical definition of marriage. This has put him at odds with progressives, who only deign to tolerate Christianity so long as it doesn’t interfere with their politics. However, as Christians know, earthly marriage reflects a spiritual reality: God is the one who gets to say what it is and isn’t. We also discuss psychology professor and author Jordan Peterson and his recent comments on Jesus and religion. --- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar is high in protein and fiber, and low in calories and carbs.

Ep 385 | Tim Keller's Warning about Death & Christian Nationalism
15/03/2021 Duração: 59minToday we are discussing recent comments by Tim Keller, famous theologian and pastor. Pastor Tim Keller has been diagnosed with cancer, and his recent article in the Atlantic sheds light on how he is dealing with the finality of earthly life. His profound thoughts in this area should be of help to any Christians who finds their faith shaken by the suffering that death brings. We also discuss his take on Christian nationalism and how Pastor Keller gets a few things wrong here. What is really the bigger danger to America, Marxism or capitalism? Lastly, we'll bring up a curriculum in California that's making headlines for asking students to chant to an ancient Aztec god. --- Today's Sponsor: Fundrise: See for yourself how 130k investors have built a better portfolio with private real estate.

Ep 384 | Rand Paul Offers Sane Solutions to America's Insane Problems | Guest: Sen. Rand Paul
11/03/2021 Duração: 35minWe start by speaking with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul about his recent legislative victory, which prevented Planned Parenthood from receiving Payment Protection Plan money that it really didn’t qualify for. Sen. Paul has also introduced legislation to improve education across America — something you’d think Democrats could get behind. Then, we discuss a rather questionable sermon in which the pastor claims women should look like Melania Trump. We also have an update on Pastor James Coates. In the same city where Pastor Coates is in jail for holding church services at full capacity, yet another sex offender has been released into the community. --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles has done the hunting for YOU & provide clothes that are effortless, easy, and flattering on any shape, size, age, or season.

Ep 383 | My Disagreements with IF:Gathering, John MacArthur & Beth Moore
10/03/2021 Duração: 52minFirst, we discuss recent comments made by John MacArthur about religious freedom. Is it right to fight for the religious liberty of those who hate you? Then, we briefly address Beth Moore leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. She's been a controversial figure in the SBC for some time, and it seems they will be parting ways. And, it was disappointing to see elements of critical race theory and other aspects of leftist social justice creeping into IF:Gathering, a conference for Christian women. --- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar: Don't give up on your resolution.

Ep 382 | How Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden Got Duped | Guest: Rep. Chip Roy
09/03/2021 Duração: 43minToday we're discussing the disastrous HR 1 "For the People" Act, which is anything but. Rep. Chip Roy of Texas joins us to give further details on the bill, like how it would limit free speech and make our elections less secure — the exact opposite of what the act claims to do. The congressman also tells us about his "Know Debt" resolution, which he hopes will draw attention to our nation's out-of-control debt. Then, we talk about the (shocking, just shocking) betrayal of Pro-Life Evangelicals for Biden by the Biden administration. In a move that no one could have predicted, it looks like our pro-abortion president will be supporting abortion via the COVID relief bill, and Christian Democrats are unhappy about it. --- Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Club: Every month, Annie's Creative Woman Club will send you a brand-new craft kit to engage your mind and calm your soul.

Ep 381 | Glennon Doyle’s Gospel vs. the Real Gospel
08/03/2021 Duração: 58minWe start off the week by giving an update on the James Coates situation. You'll remember that Pastor Coates is in trouble with the Canadian government for not following COVID guidelines and choosing to open his church to all, in accordance with his faith. The jailing of Pastor Coates is a sharp contrast to another legal case in the Edmonton, Alberta, area: A sexual predator with a long history of convictions was released from jail the same week that Pastor Coates was locked up. Under what logic is James Coates the bigger threat to society? Then, we discuss a recent article in the New York Times that points out the alarming idea that Instagram influencers are beginning to occupy the societal role typically associated with church and religion. The article points out people like Glennon Doyle, who, through books and Instagram feeds, give pseudo-spiritual comfort to thousands and thousands of women. --- Today's Sponsor: Patriot Mobile is America's ONLY Christian conservative wireless provider.

Ep 380 | Pastor James Coates Imprisoned: Persecution or Ploy? | Guest: Erin Coates
04/03/2021 Duração: 49minToday we're discussing the idea of religious persecution regarding Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church in Alberta, Canada. Pastor Coates is in jail right now for holding his church services at full capacity instead of the 15% capacity mandated by the government. A point of contention among Christian circles has been whether this qualifies as religious persecution or not. To give further details and commentary on the situation, Erin Coates, the pastor's wife, joins us. We address the theology of the situation and offer some encouragement for the future. --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you'll be proud to display.

Ep 379 | Texas Is Open, Cuomo Is a Creep, and Rand Paul Is Based
03/03/2021 Duração: 50minYesterday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that Texas will no longer have a statewide mask mandate and that the government will no longer require businesses to operate at reduced capacity. Then, we discuss New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the #MeToo moment he's having right now. Three women have accused him of harassment, and unlike Cuomo's nursing home COVID scandal, the media actually seems to care about this one. And, it's time we addressed the much-talked-about exchange between Senator Rand Paul and Rachel Levine during Dr. Levine's confirmation hearing. --- Today's sponsors: Built Bar: Stay healthy in the new year!

Ep 378 | Dr. Seuss Is Racist & Everything Is Stupid
02/03/2021 Duração: 50minIn perhaps its most controversial move yet, the Biden administration did not honor Dr. Seuss during National Read Across America Day. If we keep canceling authors for their perceived problems, will there be any books left to read? Maybe just the ones by Robin DiAngelo or Ibram X. Kendi. This kind of cultural revolt against anything "old" has been seen before in Mao's China, to horrifying effect. The progressives of today have a similarly utopian dream, but the road to get to the equity they want so much is laden with suffering. Maybe we should stop burning books, literally or figuratively? They want math to be more equitable too: Some teachers are now being told that it's white supremacy to look for a single correct answer to a problem. --- Today's sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs: No matter your crafting experience, you can make a picture-perfect project you’ll be proud to display.

Ep 377 | 'The Bachelor' Cancel Queen Gets Canceled
01/03/2021 Duração: 50minToday we're discussing the controversy surrounding Taylor Nolan, Chris Harrison, and "The Bachelor," as well as Trump's return to the spotlight at CPAC. Taylor Nolan of "The Bachelor" has long been a champion of cancel culture and a self-proclaimed expert on all things woke. But that didn't save her from the rage mob when it was discovered that she had some offensive tweets of her own from years back. Incredibly, Taylor shifted the blame from herself to society at large. This is a classic example of the double-edged nature of cancel culture: Once they set their sights on you, no amount of wokeness can save you. As Christians, we know that God has the authority to really cancel us for all eternity, but we find our joy in his grace and forgiveness — two traits that cancel culture is sorely lacking. Moving on to CPAC, Trump took the stage to deride the Biden administration's stance on school openings and the fact that allowing transgender girls to compete in women's sports is harmful to biological girls. Many at

Ep 376 | How the Equality Act Opposes Science & Faith | Guest: Lila Rose
25/02/2021 Duração: 44minToday we're talking about the Equality Act as well as Joe Biden's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra. The man who succeeded Kamala Harris as AG of California, Becerra has already proved himself to be a pro-abortion politician. Christian Democrats who say they are pro-choice should really know better; one can't reconcile an acceptance of abortion with adherence to God's word, the Bible. A major piece of legislation that Democrats want passed is the Equality Act, and it's about much more than who can use which bathroom. There are much broader implications in this act for kids and churches, and to speak about that, we welcome pro-life activist Lila Rose to the show. ---- Today's Sponsors: Built Bar is better-tasting than your favorite candy bar.

Ep 375 | Max Lucado, Carl Lentz & Ravi Zacharias: When Christian Leaders Disappoint
24/02/2021 Duração: 56minToday we're covering a much-requested topic: the situations surrounding Carl Lentz, Ravi Zacharias, and Max Lucado. What do we do when our Christian teachers and leaders let us down? Sin can happen to anyone, and it's always sad to discover that people weren't who we thought they were. Such is the case for Carl Lentz and Ravi Zacharias, who were revealed to behave differently behind closed doors. But remember, the strength of your faith shouldn't rely on our imperfect human leaders, but on God, who never changes. We also discuss the unfolding drama around Max Lucado, who is under fire for his views on LGBTQ marriage. Max ended up apologizing for his views, even though he still likely believes in the biblical definition of marriage.
