Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

“I was forced to have an abortion. I had my daughter when I was 19. I wanted this baby, and I folded because I was told lies. I paid for it for many years and nine miscarriages later,” Jennifer shared with Pastor Allen, "I received my forgiveness when I came to Christ. It took me ten years to receive it about my abortion. I thought somehow what I had done was bigger than what Jesus Christ did on the cross." Jennifer O'Neill joins Pastor Allen to talk about how she found healing from her abortion, why it is important for Christians to unapologetically speak truth on cultural issues, and her role as Ronald Reagan's mother, Nelle, in the new film, Reagan. She is a model, actress, film and television star, spokesperson, producer, and author. She started a ministry called Hope & Healing at Hillenglade, which offers equine therapy for active military members, veterans, and first responders. In this podcast, Pastor Allen and Jennifer remind us that God gives us all unique talents and opportunities to glorify Him and speak the truth of His Word. No matter what your occupation is, your presence in this world and testimony have a greater impact than you can imagine!—More Info:Hope & Healing at Hillenglade: https://hillenglade.org/REAGAN Movie Official Trailer (2024) - In Theaters Now: https://youtu.be/njLPMG8qZ5M?list=TLGGjtC6d2aZ6vcyMzA4MjAyNA

Would the war in Ukraine not have happened if the United States military didn't withdraw from Afghanistan? Why did Thomas Matthew Crooks have an opportunity to shoot at Former President Trump? Is America experiencing a national security crisis? Chad Robichaux and his son, Hunter Robichaux, join Pastor Allen on his podcast to discuss these topics and how Christ-followers need to view the problems we face through a biblical perspective. “Christians need to go and vote—and vote biblically. However, the problems we are going to face in America are not going to be solved in Washington, D.C. Where the problems in America will be solved is in people's homes, and their communities, and their churches,” Chad told Pastor Allen, “If people in communities can't come to their church for truth, where do they go?” Chad is a former Force Recon Marine, a Department of Defense contractor, and the president and founder of Mighty Oaks Foundation. His son, Hunter, is a United States Marine Corps “ANGLICO” veteran and the Director of Mighty Oaks International. We are not in a war against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12) The problems we face are spiritual and require spiritual solutions.

“My hair was standing up on my arms while I was listening to this song. It felt like I didn't even write it,” John Rich told Pastor Allen in this podcast. Rich is a country singer who felt inspired by the Holy Spirit to write his new song, “Revelation.” It contains a warning for believers to wake up, humble themselves, and repent before Christ returns. He describes what it was like to receive this message for the world, and how he felt led to proclaim it to as many people as possible. The Church has been silent in the face of evil for far too long. It’s time for us to take a stand and be overcomers in a culture of chaos, not overlookers.

Cultural norms continue to shift at a rapid rate. Organizations and people openly mock Christianity—even at the Olympics—putting persecuted Christians at even greater risk of harm. Hamas raped Israeli women, murdered babies, and took hostages, but Israel is called "evil" for fighting back and defending their nation. Men are being emasculated and are told that the qualities and desires God gave them are "oppressive" and "toxic." In this podcast, Pastor Allen offers a biblical perspective on these topics and more. "How do we integrate our Christianity with our culture? There are too many voices that say they shouldn't be integrated; they should be separated. That's insane!" Pastor Allen declared in this podcast. Share your thoughts on these issues in the comments below!__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Giving up is not an option for Israel. Pastor talked with Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, the Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem City on his podcast. Hassan-Nahoum stated, “We have no choice. This is existential for us now. This is not a little, localized war. In the end, it’s all about ideologies. It’s not even about territory, because Gaza’s theirs! We left in 2005. This is pure, ideological hatred. They want the end of Israel and the Jews.” The Church needs to be vocal about our support for Israel, to pray for peace and protection, and to call on our leaders to make decisions that would not bring the judgment of God upon us.

“When I was driving to that abortion clinic, I had my hand on my stomach, saying, ‘Forgive me for what I'm about to do to you, because this is the best choice for you, and for your sisters, and for me. You don't want to be brought into this mess of my life.’ But it's easy to be manipulated, Pastor, when we are in the most vulnerable times of our lives. And that's what the abortion industry banks on: manipulating women and coercing them into believing what I believed,” Victoria Robinson told Pastor Allen during this podcast. Victoria Robinson is the Founder and CEO of Reassemble, an organization that strives to help women, men, and couples recover from the trauma of abortion and find healing through the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. Robinson shares her testimony and speaks boldly about the lies men and women have been told by the abortion industry. Potential Democratic Presidential Nominee, Kamala Harris, believes that murdering an unborn child is a “right” every American woman should have. The Church has been strangely silent on the issue of abortion while sixty million children have been lost. Discover the ugly truths of the abortion industry, and how you can make an impact.

What's happening in Israel, the mental state of President Biden, and the assassination attempt at President Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania are the topics Pastor Allen Jackson tackles in this podcast. The shooting offers another example of the division, fear, and hatred that has spread throughout our nation. “I'm confident the man that was shooting at Mr. Trump intended to end his life, and through God's providence, he wounded his ear. I trust God has a plan and a purpose for (Trump's) life,” Pastor Allen stated. We are becoming more aware of the lies and propaganda that have been becoming mainstream and are destroying our country.

Should biological men who identify as “women” be allowed in women’s locker rooms and compete in women’s events? We live in a world where this is no longer a hypothetical question; it is a reality. Riley Gaines, a former competitive swimmer for the University of Kentucky, tied with male swimmer, Will “Lia” Thomas, in a women’s event. When he received the trophy she deserved, she could no longer remain silent. “All season we knew the unfair competition was wrong. We knew the locker room scene of having to undress and simultaneously exploit ourselves to a six-foot-four, fully grown, fully naked, fully intact man—we knew that was wrong. We knew the silencing that we were facing from our universities—we knew that was wrong … But it wasn't until this official reduced everything that we had worked our entire lives for—down to a photo op to validate the feelings and the identity of a man at the expense of ours—that’s when I decided I was no longer willing to wait,” Gaines stated. We are witnessing a war on women’s sports, and women’s safety is being jeopardized under the guise of “equality,” “acceptance,’ and “tolerance.” Listen to this podcast to discover how Riley Gaines became a voice for truth and how she continues to advocate for women’s rights in academic spaces.

Are you tired of obscene images and themes taking over our movies and entertainment? We’ve been desensitized. What would once incite feelings of shock and shame are considered commonplace in our culture. “It's crept in, in every way, and it's just this bombardment that's coming against us. But I think you're seeing things start to change. People are saying, ‘Wait a second. We've gone too far. The pendulum has swung way too far,’” Pure Flix CEO Michael Scott told me in this podcast. Biblical principles must take their place in government, entertainment, education, and beyond. It’s time to bring Jesus back to Hollywood, be a light in the entertainment industry, and support films that promote biblical values—voting with our dollars and our presence will bring more Christian content to our theaters and TVs.More Information:Pure Flix: https://www.pureflix.com/God’s Not Dead: In God We Trust Movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32356994/__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Did you know a Supreme Court ruling allows children to learn about the Bible during public school hours? Joel Penton joins Pastor Allen on this podcast to discuss the positive ways this can impact children in our nation. Penton is the Founder and CEO of LifeWise Academy, which provides biblical education to public school students during the school day, covering the entire Bible by sixth grade. They operate their program based on a 1952 Supreme Court ruling that allows children to be released from school for religious education, with parental consent. “There are 13,000 public school districts, 90,000 school buildings, 50 million public school students, and we see no reason why we shouldn't at least try to make Bible education available to every single one,” Penton said.
