Send us a textCritical race theory and cultural Marxism dominate education, big business, media, and our societal discourse, but why and how has it also infiltrated the Church? Join us as we grapple with the onslaught of critical theory and social justice ideologies that we see in many churches with Jon Benzinger who is a friend, pastor, and author of Stand: Christianity vs. Social Justice. Even though the BLM riots of 2020 are behind us, the Neo-Marxist worldview driving the new social justice movement has not slowed. This worldview is the toxic new religion of our time and brings with it a catastrophic history. If and when its rapid growth takes root in churches, it will bring about their demise. This episode underscores the Christian's vital need to amalgamate truth and love in the face of these advancing lies.Go deeper with recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textOver the past two decades, Disciple Nations Alliance has brought together groups from various nations, cultures, denominations, languages, and traditions and watched as God brings unity to diverse people through a biblical worldview. While the world needs to see a unified Church under the lordship of Christ, it often sees the church bickering and divided instead. Our cultural climate is full of ideological differences, reactivity, and societal fractures. Let's not be of the world. Let's discover together how we can take the road less traveled and focus on God's path of truth and love toward unity. Join us in this thought-provoking conversation, and let's navigate these divisive times together.Go deeper with the transcript and recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textAs many are realizing, the education system is not teaching a neutral worldview because there’s no such thing as a neutral worldview. Instead, most students today are being discipled in an atheistic, secular, materialistic ideology that directly opposes the Bible. When is it time for us to stop playing into this false education and reexamine God’s design for learning and instruction? What core principles for education can we discern from the Bible that can help us approach every area of study? What is God’s view of math, science, history, and art?Go deeper with the transcript and recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textMost of us have received twelve or more years of “education.” But why did we go to school? What is the purpose of education? And is there a difference between schooling and education? We argue that there is a difference, and in fact, education is more closely related to discipleship than schooling. If that is the case, then can we even call the twelve-plus years of learning we underwent an education? Today Darrow Miller and guest Christian Overman unpack their book, Don’t Let Schooling Stand in the Way of Education: A Biblical Response to the Crisis in Public Education. Crisis is not hyperbolic, and as the church, we urgently need to understand the theology of education.Episode Landing Page with transcript, key quotes, and links to go deeper!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textBob Woodson's heart is to see impoverished inner city black communities discipled. He has dedicated his entire life, from his first experiences growing up during Jim Crow to leading civil rights marches in the '60s to today serving black America to "empower community-based leaders to promote solutions that reduce crime and violence, restore families, revitalize underserved communities, and assist in the creation of economic enterprise" (Woodson Center, Mission). Woodson is a man we can all learn from. He often tells stories of resilient black Americans who rose above their circumstances to love and serve their neighbors. However, as you listen to this episode, you'll hear how his own testimony is marked by resiliency. Born during the Depression into a single-parent household, Woodson has gone on to advise presidents, build businesses, counsel leaders in academics, media, politics, and recently millions on the Dr. Phil show. Episode Landing Page with transcript, social links, and resources to explore this topic further.Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textOne of the easiest ways to experience the power of worldview is to be confronted by another. Today we had the honor of speaking with Dr. Dennis Tongoi from Kenya to hear his take on various issues from both a biblical worldview perspective and a counter-cultural one. In this episode, Dr. Tongoi shares an African purview on race relations in the U.S. and his proposed antidote. Additionally, we hear his thoughts on how to approach business as a Christian whose KPIs (key performance indicators) are deeper than profit, how fear is the antithesis to love, and what he thinks is the most significant difference between Africa and the West. Episode Landing Page with transcript and links to go deeper!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textWhat’s the difference between Churchianity and Christianity? What do we miss out on if we as believers focus on growing the Church and forget about the Kingdom?

Today we are joined by a lifelong missionary, Mark Dunbar, who grew up in Honduras as an MK (missionary kid) and now works with World Gospel Mission throughout Latin America.

Send us a textJoin us for part two of our discussion on the role of the family in discipling nations. Today we dive into the hotly-contested topic of God’s design for the role of the mother, father, and children in the family. As always, we seek to analyze this at the level of worldview–why did God create the family with differing roles and responsibilities? What are the good and bad consequences of adhering to or neglecting these God-given roles? For this episode, we had the privilege of being joined by two special guests: Naomi Bloom, a wife, mother, and the author of Home Inspired: A Look at the Micro-Nation of Home for New Moms; and Scott's wife, Kim Allen, a mother, grandmother, and contributing author of As Goes the Family so Goes the Nation: Principles and Practices for Building Healthy Families.Episode Landing Page with links to go deeper!Disciple Nations Alliance Website

Send us a textIn 2014, Pew Research Center reported that for the first time, the number of children raised in a two-parent household was a minority. We have all recognized and felt the effects of this tragic breakdown in the family, so today, we want to look at God’s original design for the family. What were God’s original intentions and purposes for the family? This critical worldview question begs to be addressed in our day.
