Faithfulness in a Post-Christian World

Send us a textThe world we live in is becoming increasingly hostile to Christianity. Some Christians resolve this tension by trying to be “nice” to the world. They want the gospel to look attractive and to keep relationships with nonbelievers peaceful so they can share Jesus’ love. While these are important ideals; in practice, prioritizing our reputation often leads to a “winsome” approach that risks compromising the gospel. Join us this week as we discuss how to respond with truth, boldness, and love to a culture where the public opinion toward Christianity is negative.Check out: The Episode Landing PageWebsite: Disciple Nations AllianceInstagram: Home PageFacebook: Home Page

Hijacked Justice: with Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager

Send us a textWe all want to be against racism and injustice. Leading voices in the culture today tell us that to be "antiracist" and to work for social justice, we need to embrace a neo-Marxist ideology called "Critical Theory." This theory hides under the attractive label "antiracism," but beneath that hides a whole list of interconnected causes, including but not limited to Critical Race Theory (CRT), Gender Theory, Queer Theory, and so on. Unfortunately, many well-meaning Christians turn to these cultural "solutions" without knowing their deeply anti-Christian roots. Sadly, many of these Christians soon find themselves giving subtle support to socialism, abortion, and transgenderism. In this episode, we discuss the danger posed by the new woke ideology and encourage Christians to pursue biblical unity at a time of increasing division with our friends at the Center for Biblical Unity. Everything you need to know about this episode: Landing Page Website: Disciple Nations Alliance

Reflections on the Overturn of Roe

Send us a textClick here for everything you need to know about this episode!Join us as we reflect on the overruling of the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and celebrate the restoration of the rule of law in the United States, in this area. For the past 50 years, the legality of abortion gave many in popular culture the misconception that abortion was acceptable. Now, while Roe v. Wade may be overturned, the worldview of abortion activists still exists and even thrive in today's current culture. These lies threaten not only the lives of unborn children but reject the premise that our country was founded on: that all were created equal and are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It's time to continue the important work of helping people embrace a culture of life so they come to see abortion as unthinkable.For more on the worldviews behind pro-life and pro-choice, listen to our "No Life = No Human Rights" podcast episode with special guest pro-life activist Sami Parker.Website: Disciple Nations Alliance

How The Bible Impacts the Workplace: with John Beckett

Send us a textWe, as believers, are called to be God's agents to advance His Kingdom on earth. In order to do that we must extricate the sacred-secular dualism in our minds and understand that Jesus is Lord of all areas of life. We are to live out God's Word in our lives and vocations. When work-related problems arise, do we lean on conventional wisdom, or do we ask God how we should address it? When we learn to listen to Him and go to His word for guidance, we bring His Kingdom into our vocation, and the results will be revealed over time. In this episode, we discuss this with a true leader and practical pioneer in the area of integrating faith and work, businessman John Beckett, author of Loving Mondays: Succeeding in Business Without Selling Your Soul.

Their powerful discussion sheds light on the power of the biblical worldview to transform cultures. The Bible is the source of human dignity, equality, and basic human rights.

This critically important discussion gets to the very heart of our mission at the Disciple Nations Alliance. Join us as we unpack these precious biblical truths.Jordan Peterson Podcast: India, Europe, and the Biblical Revolution Book: The Book that Made Your World Course: Coram Deo Basics CourseWebsite: Disciple Nations Alliance

Biblical Sexuality and the LGBTQIA+ Revolution: with Nancy Pearcey

Send us a textGod created everything with order and purpose, designed to flourish within its boundaries. This includes the human body and sexuality. The LGBTQIA+ revolution denies this order and design and, in so doing, denigrates both the human body and sexuality, leading to moral and social chaos. To see our nations flourish, the church needs to courageously champion a biblical view of creation and sexuality. At the beginning of "Pride Month," we talk with one of today's leading thinkers on these topics. Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality. Her earlier books include The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into 17 languages. She is a professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth. She has been quoted in The New Yorker and Newsweek highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today, and hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."Website: Nancy Pearcey.comFacebook: Nacey Pearcey Learn more about  us on our website: The Disciple Nations Alliance

Darwinism: Science or Scientism?

Send us a textDarwin’s theory of evolution has essentially become the “creation” story of our postmodern, secular culture. It is taught as a scientifically proven fact in public schools, universities, and in the media. This poses a challenge to Christians because Darwin’s theory stands in direct conflict with the biblical creation account. How should we as Christians respond to this challenge? Many seem ready to accept Darwinian evolution as a proven fact while attempting to reconcile it with biblical revelation. This is the approach of “Theistic Evolution,” and the influential BioLogos project. But is Darwinian evolution a scientifically proven fact? Much of it depends on how you define science, and on the crucial distinction between science and scientism. Faithful Christians should support science but reject scientism.

Is Woke Church a Steppingstone for Theological Compromise?

Send us a textIn the last ten years, we have seen a digression in race relations in many western nations with the rise of the woke social justice ideology. Tragically, many evangelicals are drawn to this unbiblical ideology, and as a result, our churches and Christian organizations are experiencing conflict and division. We explore some of the reasons why evangelicals find this Marxist-based ideology appealing by discussing the recent Gospel Coalition video debate: “Is ‘Woke Church’ a Stepping Stone for Theological Compromise?”Sign Up For Our Mailing List (at the bottom of the linked page).
