The Days of Deception: Unmasking Deceptive Tactics
In this podcast episode, Dr. Frank Turic discusses the book 'The Days of Deception' with author Jack Hibbs. The podcast delves into the issue of deception in various aspects of life, including COVID-19, political agendas, and the church. Hibbs highlights the correlation between deception and power, emphasizing the need for a biblical worldview and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to navigate through the fog of deception. The discussion also touches on the topics of gender identity, the significance of Israel, and the importance of discipleship in standing for God's truth. The book provides practical insights on recognizing deception and being equipped to resist it.
Recognizing Global Deception and Conspiracy
One of the main points discussed in this podcast episode centers around the global deception happening today. The conversation highlights how the COVID-19 pandemic and political agendas have contributed to increased deception. The dangers of accepting deceptive narratives without question and discerning truth from falsehood are emphasized. The book 'The Days of Deception' is presented as a resource to help readers recognize the different kinds of deception prevalent in society.
Deception Within the Church and Spiritual Discernment
Another important point discussed in the podcast relates to deception within the church. The conversation warns about spiritual deceivers and deceptive spirits that can mislead believers. The book 'The Days of Deception' addresses this issue and provides insights into recognizing and resisting deceptive teachings within the church. The significance of biblical truth, being discipled, and developing spiritual discernment are emphasized to combat deception.
The Power of Faith, Discipleship, and God's Word
The podcast emphasizes the importance of faith, discipleship, and studying God's Word in countering deception. The role of faith in dispelling deceptive ideologies and the need for believers to be firmly grounded in biblical truth is highlighted.

The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to prioritize discipleship and the continuous pursuit of biblical knowledge to remain undeced.
Have you ever believed something that you discovered later on just wasn't true? In an upside down world where lies are well-packaged and truth is constantly suppressed, it's no wonder that both Christians and non-Christians alike have fallen prey to mass deception. But if the Church is struggling to recognize truth from error, what hope is there for people in the secular world who aren't being guided by the unfailing Word of God?
This week, Pastor Jack Hibbs of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills joins Frank to discuss the inspiration behind his brand-new (and already best-selling) book 'Living in the Daze of Deception: How to Discern Truth from Culture's Lies.' Written in the midst of the unforgettable COVID-19 outbreak, Jack explores the different forms of deception that have been a stumbling block to Christians and secular society, and also provides guidance on how to detect it if and when it comes your way. During the episode, Frank and Jack will answer questions like:
Why did Jack initially reject the idea of writing this book and what eventually changed his mind?
How did Jack become the founding pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and how did the pandemic specifically impact church attendance?
What convinced Jack to re-open his church during the pandemic?
Does the Bible instruct Christians to ALWAYS obey authorities, no matter what?
How are Christians being deceived by other Christians in church?
Is the transgender craze actually a "new" phenomenon?
Jesus warned us to "watch out that no one deceives you", which is why it's crucial for all believers to have a solid biblical foundation and to make disciples. As Jack shares personal encounters he's had as a pastor, you'll hear real-life examples of how truth can bring healing, even in the aftermath of past deception. If you want to avoid becoming a future victim of misinformation and doctrines of demons, make sure you grab a copy of 'Living in the Daze of Deception'!
