Were you or was someone you know raised to believe that the King James Version of the Bible is the only "correct" version? People have many different reasons for believing this about the KJV, and today we'll delve into the history and theology of the matter to see if there's any truth to the KJV-only way of thinking.---Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs have the perfect subscription box for both boys, and girls.

Today we're excited to speak with Pastor James Coates, who thankfully has been released from jail after refusing to comply with Canada's COVID-19 guidelines. Authorities in Edmonton, Alberta, demanded that Pastor Coates stop holding his church service at full capacity, but he found that to be in violation of his duty to God and the church congregation. We'll talk about what it was like for Pastor Coates in jail, the events leading up to his imprisonment, and the next steps for Grace Life Church, which now has a chain-link fence surrounding it to prevent services from being held.---Today's Sponsor:Fast Growing Trees: Skip the big box stores and head to Fast Growing Trees dot com - the WORLD’S LARGEST ONLINE NURSERY.

Today we're talking education. The Association of Christian Schools International has partnered with UnifiED. UnifiED is a group that seems to have good, Biblical goals, but it's worth exploring the connections the organization seems to have to the tenets of Critical Race Theory. And, in Virginia and Texas, radical curriculums on race and sex are being pushed by the progressive Left, and any parents who have a problem with it are being treated very harshly, as these stories will show. Lastly, we talk to Isabel Brown, a young up-and-coming commentator on the Right. Isabel experienced progressive ideology firsthand at her university and has generated a large platform speaking out against it.You can buy Isabel Brown's book, "Frontlines: Finding My Voice on an American College Campus" through her website! https://www.isabel-brown.com/frontlines-book---Today's Sponsor: ExpressVPN protects your online data by keeping your online presence anonymous, hiding your IP address.

Today we’re going to talk about the drama surrounding self-help author Rachel Hollis, as well as a few other crazy things we’re seeing from progressive Christianity. The problem with these self-help gurus is that if your problems are originating from inside yourself, you need to turn to something outside yourself for help. Specifically, God. Hollis made a video that drew ire from both the Right and the Left. She tried to offer an apology, but unsurprisingly, it made things worse. Then, we discuss a prayer book that includes a person asking God to help them hate white people.---Today's Sponsors: Raycon wireless earbuds are built to perform anywhere & anytime, with water-and-sweat-resistant construction & Bluetooth that pairs quickly & seamlessly.

Today we're focusing on vaccine passports, what they are, and what they could mean for our freedom. Some countries already have vaccine programs in place, requiring people to show proper documentation in order to participate in daily life. It doesn't take a genius to see that this is a very dark path. To give perspective on the technological side of vaccine passports, we talk to Naomi Wolf, author and CEO of DailyClout. Lastly, we address the concerns of some Christians that the vaccine passport could be the mark of the beast.---Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile: Switching is easy!

Yesterday was Easter, and most of us were spending time with our families, thinking about the ultimate sacrifice made by God and Jesus. However, progressive Christians on Twitter were as active as ever, offering their wrong opinions on how Easter and Jesus' resurrection are actually about being anti-capitalist, or anti-racist, or something. These are aspects of liberation theology, a wholly un-biblical way of looking at the Bible.---Today's Sponsor: Annie's Kit Clubs means no more trips to the craft store & no searching for materials.

Today we're focusing on good news in the U.S. and around the world. It's almost Good Friday, so of course we're aware of the best news of all: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But there's some good news on Earth, too. The Left is trying to push its ideology in school, but there are lots of organizations popping up whose mission is to oppose things like critical race theory in school. Check them out, because the best way to fight against this kind of thing is to unite with other like-minded people in your area. Several state governments around the country are also taking stands against CRT and big tech censorship as well, namely Texas and Florida. There’s good news on the abortion front as well, as we see the Huffington Post lament that 2021 is the year of anti-abortion legislation.---Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angeles has done the hunting for YOU & provide clothes that are effortless, easy, and flattering on any shape, size, age, or season.
