Today we're mainly focusing on theology, starting with a reaction to Oklahoma pastor Mike Todd's strange sermon, in which he spat on his hand and rubbed it on a churchgoer to make a point about vision or something. Gross. However, Todd has realized since then that he took things a little too far and made an apology video. In the video, he encourages people to watch the rest of the sermon and not just the clip going around on social media ... so we did. And, unfortunately, his sermon turned out to be the kind of exegetical teaching that is a hallmark of prosperity gospel. Then, we discuss the recent rush by the mainstream media to condemn Justice Neil Gorsuch for not wearing a mask to hear arguments at the Supreme Court, which is apparently putting Justice Sotomayor in danger. Even though they're both triple-vaccinated and tested regularly for infection.---Timecodes: (0:00) Intro(0:59) Mike Todd's viral sermon illustration, reaction, & his apology(17:53) The difference between eisegetical & exegetical preaching(31:26) Justice Neil Gorsuch refuses to wear a mask on the bench during oral arguments---Today's Sponsors: Marley Spoon & Martha Stewart are the Meal Kit That Tastes Like No Other & it's packed with 40 offerings each week!

Today we're demolishing the myth of overpopulation, the basis for the "anti-natalist" movement that says that people shouldn't have kids for the good of humanity. We look at the history of this worldview and why people are so convinced that overpopulation is a serious threat to humanity. This type of thinking has wound its way through some of the worst ideologies in history, from actual white supremacists in America to the Nazis and then to Planned Parenthood. However, the threat of overpopulation is far from fact; it's just a theory that has already been debunked by history. Nevertheless, this theory has taken hold of many people, inspiring them to view children and family negatively. Many of the most influential and wealthy people in the world think this way too, and they're moving mountains of money to organizations that match their ideology. But, as we'll discuss and back up with biblical and historical evidence, having kids is a credit to the world, not a debit.Note: Thomas Malthus’s name is pronounced Malth-us, not Malth-e-us. ---Today's Sponsors: Reliefband is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy & provides all-natural, long-lasting relief of nausea — with zero side effects!

Today we're talking to Josh Hammer, conservative commentator and opinion editor at Newsweek. Josh is here to break down a few of the stories that have taken over the news in the last few days, starting with the hostage situation that took place in a North Texas synagogue. Apparently, an armed Muslim extremist thought he could negotiate the release of a convicted terrorist by taking some innocent people hostage. Thankfully, no one lost their lives. However, since then, the media have been working overtime to hide any information about the case that runs counter to their narrative that says white supremacy is basically the only threat America is facing. Then, we discuss the heavy-handed speech Joe Biden gave in Georgia in support of the Democrats' "voting rights" bill. Josh explains how, despite the name, this bill would actually dilute the power of the average American's vote. Lastly, we talk about what the GOP should do and what issues it should focus on heading into the new year in order to capitalize on Democrats' failures and do right by their constituents.---Timecodes: (0:00) Intro(9:30) Interview with Josh Hammer(10;00) Breaking down the Colleyville, TX synagogue hostage situation & the media/FBI's reaction to it(30:22) Voting legislation in the Senate - will it pass?(50:30) What should the Republican party be doing right now / doing better as we get into the midterms season & looking ahead to 2024?---Today's Sponsors: Bambee was created specifically for small businesses — it provides a dedicated HR manager to craft HR policy & maintain your compliance for just $99/month!

Today we're talking to Justin Haskins who has just written a new book alongside Glenn Beck, 'The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st-Century Fascism'. The wealthy, powerful people who hang around the World Economic Forum and Davos are serious about "resetting" the way the economy of the world works. Justin explains the nightmarish economic system that these people want to implement, called "stakeholder capitalism." Basically, the leaders of corporations and governments will work together to exercise extreme control over everyone beneath them. Things like the Green New Deal and ESG scores are current examples of how this agenda is being implemented in the real world. We also discuss how COVID has been their "golden opportunity" to convince people to go along with the Great Reset agenda, allowing governments and corporations to seize power in the name of health or social justice. Then, Justin says that the Great Reset can still be stopped, but the window of opportunity is closing. He goes over what he thinks people should do to oppose this global consolidation of power. Afterward, we give some biblical encouragement and assurance that regardless of whether this grand plan succeeds or fails, God has an even grander plan in the works and we Christians can rest easy knowing His plan is ultimately for our good.---Today's Sponsors: CBDistillery has over 2 million customers & you can order online with no prescription required.

Today we're talking about the Left's favorite pretend villain: Christian nationalism. As one year passed since the Capitol riot, the bad takes about Christianity and conservatives were flying fast and furious all over the internet. Even renowned Christian theologians like Russell Moore have fallen into the trap of thinking that "Christian nationalism" is some kind of existential threat to America. We'll discuss why that isn't the case and how the real threat of authoritarianism in America is coming from the Left, not conservatives. And, we respond to the pope's recent comment that couples who have pets instead of having kids are being selfish.Timecodes: (0:00) Introduction(1:12) Dems will keep using Jan. 6th to convince people to give them more power(10:48) The Christian Nationalism "villain"(37:25) Pope Francis says people who only have pets & not children are selfish---Today's Sponsors: Chamonix by Genucel is having a huge clearance event right now — save 60% off their handpicked, most popular package to take care of all your skincare needs.

Today we're talking with Andrew Klavan, author and the host of "The Andrew Klavan Show" on the Daily Wire. We're discussing the insane ways the Left bends truth to its will in pursuit of power. A perfect example of this is the Justice Department's announcement that it is creating a unit focused on domestic terrorism in commemoration of January 6. While they're all too happy to go after right-wing rioters, or even just concerned parents at school board meetings, they completely ignore any violence or wrongdoing from the Left, as seen with the countless BLM/Antifa riots that took place throughout 2020. Andrew gives his thoughts on what conservatives should do in this environment and how we can work to save the American system of limited government and individual liberty. The truth is, this isn't a time to sit idly by or hold your tongue out of fears of ostracization. We need to be bold and willing to take risks when it comes to fighting the political and cultural battles that lie ahead in 2022.---Today's Sponsors: Masterworks is an alternative investment platform that's made investing in multi-million dollar art easy & affordable for everyday investors.

We're back for the first time this year, and there's so much to talk about. We start off with some encouragement for Christians to be fearless and make the most of this year. Then we discuss the disastrous ways liberal COVID policies are affecting the most vulnerable, marginalized group in America: children. For example, putting a kid in the trunk of a car to reduce the chance of exposure or forcing schoolkids to eat their lunches in the freezing cold because the adults are terrified of the pandemic. We also discuss alleged legal expert Justice Sonia Sotomayor's wildly inaccurate claim about how many kids are suffering from COVID.---Today's Sponsors: GuitarSuccess4U is a unique, online, monthly membership that has community, a clear path to success & it's super affordable.

Today we're excited to be talking with Dr. Bret Weinstein, an author, podcaster, and former professor of biology. We cover several topics, starting with wokeness and cancel culture, as Dr. Weinstein explains how his and his wife's characters were ruthlessly attacked by the Left for supposed racism, which ultimately resulted in his resignation from his teaching position. We move on to progressivism in general and how Dr. Weinstein’s views have changed since that incident. Also, even though he's still a liberal, we still have lots of common ground on issues like pushing back against the woke mob and government corruption. Lastly, we discuss COVID and the government's abysmal job of dealing with it. When the government and media are promoting things that don't work and blocking things that do, something is seriously wrong with your country. And, while the government may not have done a good job of protecting anyone from COVID, it has certainly done an excellent job of exploiting the crisis to gain power.---Today's Sponsor:Good Ranchers delivers boxes of American meat that's steakhouse quality, and it's a great gift idea for everyone on your list!

Today, we're talking to Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow with the Hoover Institution. Hanson is also an author, and his latest book, "The Dying Citizen," examines the Left's attacks on the middle class, attempts to track America's problems over the past several years, and explains how they have affected the average citizen. Within the government and other important institutions like universities and media, there are postmodern and progressive thinkers who want to fundamentally change America and the world into a more centralized globalist system. And unfortunately, the cultural divides in our country only make this easier for them. Hanson explains that as Democrats slowly whittle away at the middle class, what they're essentially doing is returning to a form of feudalism, which supports only a few extremely wealthy lords but a multitude of extremely poor peasants.---Today's Sponsor: Good Ranchers has a variety of boxes to try yourself or gift to someone for a special occasion!

Today, we start by talking about some of the big stories that have been happening over the past few weeks and months — namely COVID and the authoritarian power that the government and corporations have seized as a result. We're not just dealing with political tyranny here in America but also moral and cultural decay. However, it always bears repeating that Christians need not fall victim to despair, because we know that everything happens exactly as God needs it to. We also discuss what the Bible actually says about Jesus and Christmas — which is so much better than whatever progressives say about it having to do with refugees or immigrants.-=-Today's Sponsor: Good Ranchers has a variety of boxes to try yourself or to gift this season.
