No Life = No Human Rights with Sami Parker

Send us a textDestructive ideas have deadly consequences. The clearest example of this today is a set of interlocking lies around the issues of sexuality, human life, and what it means to live a fulfilled life. These lies fuel abortion, which has claimed over 60 million victims since it was legalized in the U.S. in 1973 with the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision. Now, the highest court in the U.S. is on the verge of overturning that deadly decision. A leak of the draft majority opinion was leaked to the press last week, leading to furor and upheaval across the U.S. Abortion, globally, is one of the most contentious debates of our time. In this episode, we address some of the most common pro-abortion arguments with the help of our guest and pro-life activist, Sami Parker. Then we examine the deeper worldview-level lies that fuel the abortion industry. To end abortion, we must do more than outlaw it. We must work to change minds at the level of worldview by confronting lies with truth.  LiveAction.orgMeet Baby OliviaThe Maternal Heart of God videoDiscipleNations.org

Hijacked Sexuality with Katherine Gallagher

Send us a textThe church in the West lives in the wake of the sexual revolution and we see the devastation all around us. Millions of unborn children are killed through legalized abortion, skyrocketing rates of pornographic addiction, sex trafficking, and the LGBTQ+ gender revolution, leaving many uncertain if there even is such a thing as male and female. This only begins to tell the story. How do we as Christians begin to recover our voice to speak the truth about human sexuality in the midst of so much hostility and opposition? God is the author of sex. It is incredibly beautiful and powerful when understood within the framework God created for it. Join us as we discuss this with our special guest Katherine Gallagher.  The Grand Design course The  Maternal Heart of God videoThis show is hosted and produced by the Disciple Nations Alliance.

Secularism's Pseudo Freedom

Send us a textChristianity + Secularism = Liberalism while Secularism - Christianity = Woke Tyranny.Where do our freedoms come from? From God, He created us to be free. But in our fallen world, free societies are the exception, not the norm. Historically, free societies are the fruit of the Judeo-Christian worldview, which establishes our liberties as God-given and, therefore, an inalienable right. Abandon God, and you abandon the only sure basis for human freedom and free societies. Western “liberalism” finds its source here and nowhere else. To dive deeper into this topic, check out our newest blog: Freedom: Where Does It Come From?

We Are All Missionaries

Send us a textIf you are a Christian, you have a vital role to play in fulfilling The Great Commission given by Jesus in Matthew 28:19-20: “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” While this most certainly includes cross-cultural missions, it also includes bringing the reality of God’s Kingdom into your family, your friendships, and your vocation. You are called to be a missionary to transform the place God has you for His glory.

Christ & Stewarding His Creation

Send us a textAs believers, we need to remember that Christ’s redeeming work extends to all of His creation. As followers of Jesus, we are rescued from the dominion of darkness and empowered by Christ’s spirit to fulfill our original task given in Genesis chapter one. To be vice-regents who rightly rule over creation. We are to care for creation and use our God-given agency, imagination, creativity, and language to form even greater beauty, diversity, order, resources, and abundance for the glory of the King and the good of our neighbors.

Poverty Reframed

Send us a textMother Teresa, who spent years ministering to the dying and homeless in Calcutta, India, once said that New York City was the most impoverished place she had ever been. Why would she say that? She clearly saw poverty as more than a lack of money. She was using a broader biblical definition. In this episode, we examine the question: What is poverty? How we answer this question depends on our worldview. The biblical worldview sees poverty as more than material lack. When we look at the subject of poverty through the lens of a biblical worldview, we will begin to see the poor in new ways. We may even find that they are in our neighborhoods and our families in ways we never saw before. All of us are faced with poverty every day. What can we do to help the poor around us in our daily lives?

Hijacked Freedom with Os Guinness

Send us a textFreedom is under attack in the West as never before. Many have redefined freedom to mean “doing whatever you want.” In this episode, we explain why this is not freedom at all and explore what true freedom is, and what it will take to defend and sustain it. As Christians, we need to understand the critical importance of freedom to fully understand who our heavenly Father is and who He made us to be. Our special guest in this episode is Os Guinness. Os is one of the great biblical worldview thinkers of our generation and has written many recent books exploring the topic of liberty.
