Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

This episode will challenge listeners to rethink their understanding of salvation and how living out their faith in the workplace can have a profound impact on people's lives. Pastor Allen Jackson sits down with Dr. Juris Shibayama to explore his remarkable journey from being an atheist to fully yielding his life to the Lord. Driven by an unrelenting search for truth, Dr. Shibayama reveals how influential books like Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis and The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel helped confront his skepticism and pride. The pivotal moment in his journey came when he realized there is a profound difference between being "saved" and truly "surrendered" to Christ.More Information:Happy, Joyous, and Free: One Man’s Journey and Guide to Ultimate Spiritual Health: https://a.co/d/4QPNMLvThe Steps to Freedom in Christ: https://freedominchrist.com/new-thestepstofreedominchrist.aspxThe Case for Christ: https://www.christianbook.com/case-christ-updated-expanded-mass-market/lee-strobel/9780310350033/pd/350034?event=BRSRCG|PSEN Mere Christianity: https://www.christianbook.com/mere-christianity-c-s-lewis/9780060652920/pd/2926X?event=BRSRCG|PSEN__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

What does it really mean to be pro-life? In our culture, abortion has been deemed a "political" issue when in reality it is a moral and biblical issue that we will be held accountable for. What can the Church do to move the abortion discussion from the podium to the pulpit? How should we address this now controversial issue with our families, lawmakers, and communities? Author and CEO of Care Net, Roland Warren will help us answer these questions and discern the next steps the Church needs to take so we can help every individual—father, mother, and child—pursue an abundant life in Jesus Christ.More Information:Care Net: https://care-net.org/pro-abundant-life/The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must be Pro Abundant Life: https://store.care-net.org/the-alternative-to-abortion/__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

The Bible says, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." We have an adversary that seeks to threaten, intimidate, and frighten us. The Church needs to be aware of this ongoing battle with evil, how it manifests in the physical realm, and more importantly, how we can overcome it. Dr. Neil Anderson, author of "The Bondage Breaker" and "The Steps to Freedom in Christ," joins Pastor Allen in this episode to help Christians understand what spiritual oppression looks like and how we can exercise the authority we have in Christ over demonic spirits.More Information:Bondage Breaker: https://freedominchrist.com/thebondagebreaker-new.aspxThe Steps to Freedom in Christ: https://freedominchrist.com/new-thestepstofreedominchrist.aspxThriving Through the End Times: https://freedominchrist.com/thrivingthroughtheendtimes.aspx__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

The hidden agendas and failures of government and educational institutions are being exposed. Instead of being taught to think critically, Americans are often encouraged to accept the narratives pushed by mainstream media or 'professionals' with political agendas. Dr. Carol Swain, an author, public speaker, and retired political science and law professor at Vanderbilt University, joins Pastor Allen in this podcast. She offers insight on what is currently taking place with the Department of Education, the impact of President Trump's executive orders, and her new book, "The Gay Affair: Harvard, Plagiarism, and the Death of Academic Integrity."More Information:Dr. Carol Swain's Website: https://carolmswain.com/ The Gay Affair: Harvard, Plagiarism, and the Death of Academic Integrity: https://www.logosbooksonline.com/store/p5764/The_Gay_Affair.html__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Now that President Trump is in the White House, change is coming at a rapid magnitude and speed as his policies upend DEI initiatives, transgenderism, the border crisis, and more. Instead of sitting back and watching the news unfold—or trusting in a politician to solve our problems—it's time for the Church to address the challenges we face in our nation with God's truth. In this episode, Pastor Allen discusses what we can learn from President Trump's first few weeks in office and calls the Church to rise to their assignment of being salt and light in our generation.__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

In a world where pastors present DEI as a biblical idea and students are taught to despise America, Pastor John Amanchukwu delivers sound, biblical truth that’s full of common sense. A bold and passionate advocate for children, families, and truth, Amanchukwu frequently stands up to school boards that allow pornographic books in their libraries. On this podcast, he visits with Pastor Allen to talk about the value of work, the importance of each person’s calling, our responsibility to protect the children, and how God led him to his current path. __ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

What happens when you begin to read the Bible every day? Pastor Allen sat down with his good friend, Dave Embry, to discuss how daily Bible reading significantly altered his life. While it may seem like reading about the historic wars, battles, and personal conflicts in Scripture has no significance to how we live out our faith today, Embry explains how it increases your understanding of God and His purposes for you. “Jesus says, 'If my words abide in you, then you are my true disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' What is the opposite of free? Bondage,” Embry explained. “Do we want to be in bondage? That gives me the incentive to want to be in the Word of God. How else can I get His words to abide in me if I'm not in His Word?" Is it possible to know God intimately if we do not know His Word? Does it matter if we read the Bible daily or sporadically? Why is reading the Word of God so important? In this podcast, you’ll discover the answers to these questions and how God brought healing, hope, and transformation to Dave Embry's life through one simple, daily practice: Bible reading.More Information:Bible Reading Plan: https://allenjackson.com/bible-reading/ __ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, went from battling alcoholism to finding hope through rehab, prayer, and the guidance of legendary Country Musician Charlie Daniels. Brad opens up about how his faith began to play a central role in his life, especially during his concerts, where he chooses to boldly proclaim the message of Jesus' love to his audience. "I've always tried to make songs that help people through situations—to help them acknowledge that 'Jesus loves me.' That's the most powerful thing in the world, to know that Jesus loves you. I know that I have a very short window before people start shutting down, and people aren't at a rock show to be preached at, but I want to share that with them." Brad's story is one of grace, redemption, and hope, showing that no matter where you’ve been or what you’ve gone through, there’s always a chance to find joy and healing.__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.
