Ideas Have Consequences

The pressure to affirm transgenderism grows daily, and refusal to positively affirm the LGBTQ movement opens people up to being smeared as bigots who promote violence. This is what Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri recently discovered in his questioning of a professor from The University of California, Berkley in a July hearing in the U.S. Capitol. This week, we use the video of their exchange as a starting point to discuss the worldview assumptions behind the LGBTQ movement and how they differ from the biblical worldview. Episode Landing Page: Visit NowWebsite: Disciple Nations Alliance

Attending a local “church” is a part of the Christian routine. During the week, we work; and on Sundays, we go to church, sing songs, and listen to a sermon. But the church is supposed to be more than that. It is not a place, but a people. It is a community, the family of God. It is not just “church” that we attend on Sunday; we are still the church on Monday. Join us today as we discuss the purpose of the church and how we can fulfill our purpose as the Body and Bride of Christ.Episode Landing Page: Visit NowWebsite: Disciple Nations Alliance

Liberty is one of the most important values in the United States and now in many countries around the world. But it has come under threat from both internal and external sources. Freedom has been redefined to be choice without limit—and especially without reference to God, His created order, or moral law. Not only must our choices be unlimited, but others must actively affirm them. But freedom, virtue, and faith are inextricably linked, and when these bonds break, freedom dissolves. Stay Connected: Signup HereEpisode Landing Page: Visit NowWebsite: Disciple Nations Alliance

In this short discussion after recording episode 31, "Living Faithfully in a Post-Christian World," the guys address how to live faithfully in churches where the winsomeness approach has caused disagreement and division. 

The 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

We 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

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 

We, 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.

In this episode, we react to the recent Jordan Peterson interview of long-time DNA friend Vishal Mangalwadi. 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. It is the source of the rule of law, economic prosperity, and so much else that we often take for granted. 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

The Bible contains a multitude of practical principles that shape how we ought to think and act in our work, relate to our friends and in our marriages, steward creation, organize our institutions, govern our nations, and much more. These principles can be organized into a handful of basic, or foundational principles. In this episode, we discuss some of these precious foundational principles, and how do we live them out.Website: Disciple Nations AllianceStudy: The Development EthicBook: Made to Flourish
