Are Christians to Blame for Low Vaccination Rates?
Rapp Report episode 176
Are Christians to blame for the low vaccination rates? Are Christians spreading false information about the Covid vaccine? Is there a direct relationship between Christianity and vaccination to support these claims?
Andrew and Bud apply critical thinking and logic to the arguments made but the media and professing Christians like Russell More, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Ed Stetzer, dean and professor at Wheaton College. A recent study found that Christians have some of the lowest vaccination rates in the country. The Bible is clear that Christians are to use their lives to serve and share the gospel with others. So, we ask you this: should a Christian be complicit in spreading false information about vaccines?
It is hard to say if Christians are more against vaccinations than other groups, but one thing is for sure: when it comes to health and safety, we should always be asking questions about the Covid vaccination. There is a lot of misinformation out there about vaccinations, and unfortunately, some of these ideas are being perpetuated by the church. This podcast will debunk some common myths about vaccinations so that you can make an informed decision. In the vaccine debate, there are two sides: those who support vaccines and those who do not. But in this podcast explores a third side to the story that many people overlook- Christians! If you are wondering what a Christian perspective is on vaccines, listen to this podcast!

Hearing the Voice of God with Jim Osman
Rapp Report episode 169
Andrew and Bud respond to a review from when Jim Osman was on discussing his book, "God Doesn't Whisper". They respond to the topic of hearing the voice of God. Hearing the voice of God is a common concept within Christianity. At the root of the issue is a problem people have with the sufficiency of Scripture.
Jim is a local church pastor and that is something that unfortunately is unique in this age of platform-building pastors. They discuss the importance of the local church.

Election and Foreknowledge (1 Peter 1:1-2)
Election and Foreknowledge
Rapp Report episode 168
This Rapp Report podcast episode is for those who want to be prepared for the coming persecution, a study of suffering for Christ--but in pursuit of joy. It will deal with some hard issues like election and foreknowledge. Are they true? If so, what should we do?
The book of 1 Peter addresses the issue of suffering for the cause of Christ, and it is also a book that talks about how we can be prepared to suffer. But what does this mean?
If you are not familiar with the doctrines of election or foreknowledge then they will sound like some weird ideas. And if you have heard these doctrines all your life but never really studied them then they may seem strange as well. I think one reason why many people avoid studying these issues is that they do not know where to start or how to study them. There are so many questions and possible objections that come up when talking about the doctrines of election and foreknowledge that it can be hard just getting started in the first place.
This episode will give us a good introduction to both doctrines, along with some practical things we need to do on our own part--in order to prepare ourselves for persecution ahead in America (and elsewhere). The understanding of these doctrines is easily understood when rooted in knowing the attributes of God.
