Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

Can you be terminated from your job for speaking the truth? That’s what happened to wife, mother, and former public school teacher Jessica Tapia while she was working in a Southern California district. "I had allegations put on me that the students crafted based off the Christian, conservative views they discovered that I hold—and they were outlandish," Jessica told Pastor Allen on this podcast. To keep her job, the district insisted she refer to students by their preferred pronouns, allow students to use bathrooms that aligned with their gender identity, and refrain from talking about her beliefs—at school and on social media. She knew following the district’s orders would mean denying her faith, so she refused to comply. Hear what happened when Tapia stood firm on the truth she knew and boldly upheld her biblical values—even when it came at a cost.

If you need proof God is still doing miracles, here’s a modern-day Lazarus story for you. “God gave me two miracles: He let me live, and He gave me my life back,” Ricky Knight told Pastor Allen during this podcast. Ricky went to the hospital for a routine colonoscopy and ended up going into cardiac arrest while he was lying on the gurney. His twin brother, Randy, was in the waiting room, and as soon as he found out what happened, he began to pray. They talk about the miracles that took place, the glimpse of Heaven God allowed Ricky to see, and how that experience changed the focus of their lives. “I died, and He—the resurrected King—resurrected me,” Ricky summarized. You’ll be encouraged by Ricky and Randy’s story, and you’ll also be entertained by the friendly banter between Pastor Allen and his long-time friends.__It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

“It is time to lean in and create the culture we want building our children's future world,” Kirk Cameron told Pastor Allen on this podcast about the importance of teaching children truth. Their engaging conversation will encourage anyone who is concerned about the deception washing over our children. “We've got to get back on the offense. No more defensive living, waiting to be rescued,” Cameron advised. He shares about several projects he initiated to take a biblical worldview into our culture, including hosting library story hours, writing children’s books, and creating a new television show specifically geared toward children. He also offers practical ways we can bring Christian values to the children in our communities.More information:Kirk Cameron’s website: https://www.kirkcameron.com/Brave Books: https://bravebooks.us/2024 See You at the Library Event: https://bravebooks.us/pages/see-you-at-the-library-2024The Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk: https://bravebooks.us/pages/the-adventures-with-iggy-and-mr-kirk--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

“Dr. Phil consistently stands up for a biblical worldview, which is something many pastors, church leaders, and people in our congregations aren't willing to do,” Pastor Allen said. He had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Phil to talk about Merit Street Media, a new network Dr. Phil and TBN launched that provides a biblically informed perspective on news and culture. They also discuss Dr. Phil’s book, We’ve Got Issues. Dr. Phil said, “When people come with ridiculous arguments, this book gives (readers) the information they need to push back and say, ‘No, wait a minute. That's wrong! And let me tell you why it's wrong.’” Pastor Allen also provides a biblical perspective on the importance of leadership and the need for godly voices. He said, “We've got to begin to understand what we believe, why we believe it, and the impact it will make. And I think Dr. Phil is a helpful voice in that.”More information:Pastor Allen’s interview with Dr. Phil on TBN: https://www.tbnplus.com/c/sy/sMW1pnGB?episodeId=gyS4w0Ns&play=1Dr. Phil’s website: https://www.drphil.com/Merit Street Media: https://www.meritstreetmedia.com/--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

“In 2020, I made a decision to walk away from corporate media to start my own media company, where I could answer to myself and answer to God,” Jason Whitlock told Pastor Allen during this podcast. An accomplished sports journalist and the host of the podcast, “Fearless with Jason Whitlock,” he shares his perspective on what’s happening in our culture and how fear has stopped Christians from speaking truth. They also talk about Whitlock’s career as a sports journalist, the critical roles men and women hold, race and racism, and importance of sacrificing our own thoughts and ideas to follow biblical principles. Whitlock also provides details about his upcoming men’s conference in Nashville, “Fearless Army—Roll Call 2.0.”More Information:Fearless Army Roll Call 2.0 Conference:https://fearlessarmyrollcall.com/Fearless with Jason Whitlockhttps://www.theblaze.com/podcasts/fearless-with-jason-whitlock--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Chad Robichaux’s team rescued 17,000 people from Afghanistan, and “The only way I can explain it, is it was a God-ordained miracle,” he told Pastor Allen during this podcast. Robichaux, a former Force Recon Marine and a Department of Defense Contractor, provides a boots-on-the-ground perspective on America’s withdrawal from Afghanistan and the wars in Ukraine and Israel. He also discusses the severe PTSD he experienced after retiring from the military, and how he went from being suicidal to thriving in his faith. “Applying biblical solutions to the problems I was facing led me to restoration, hope, and ultimately to purpose,” Robichaux said. His transformation led to him begin The Mighty Oaks Foundation, which offers faith-based programs that have helped over 500,000 warriors, to date.More Information:The Mighty Oaks Foundation: https://www.mightyoaksprograms.org/--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

“In a culture that’s determined to create hatred and division, you have both used your voices, your lives, and your strength to bring cooperation, unity, and respect,” Pastor Allen told John DeBerry and Brandon Tatum in this podcast, where they talk about race, politics, family, gender confusion, and standing for truth. DeBerry represented the 90th House District of Tennessee from 1995 to 2020 and now acts as the senior advisor to Governor Bill Lee. He shares stories about growing up during the era of segregation and offers a powerful perspective on the situations we’re facing today. Tatum, the host of The Officer Tatum Show, provides candid observations on racism, forgiveness, and the important role our faith plays in unifying people. --More Information about John DeBerry and Brandon Tatum:John DeBerry: https://www.tn.gov/governor/about-bill-lee/cabinet/senior-advisor.htmlBrandon Tatum: https://theofficertatum.com/--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

“If we are to love other people in our lives the way that God has called us to love them, that means speaking the truth about primary issues,” Allie Beth Stuckey said during this podcast with Pastor Allen Jackson. Stuckey, a mom, wife, and the host of the popular podcast “Relatable,” joined Pastor Allen to discuss the importance of being a voice for biblical truth and overcoming the challenges that come with that assignment. Stuckey’s mission is to help strengthen people (and especially women) theologically, so they allow the Bible to form their opinions on current issues—not the culture around them. They discuss the importance of upholding a biblical worldview, gender issues, abortion, the value of life, following Christ at college, redemption, and Stuckey’s new book, “Toxic Empathy,” which releases this fall.

Many think the First and Second Great Awakenings were seasons of great unity, but they were actually times of clarifying as people debated truth and morality—just as we are today. “I think we’re in the middle of an awakening right now,” Tim Barton told Pastor Allen Jackson on this podcast about how Christianity has impacted our nation’s history. Barton is the president of WallBuilders, an organization that teaches about America’s history and heroes, and Pastor Allen says he is, “one of my most trusted voices on history and our faith.” Barton offers compelling insight about American History and the important role our faith continues to play in our nation. He also discusses several resources WallBuilders created that can help us know the truth about our history so we can be prepared to share it with others.More Information about Tim Barton and WallBuilders:WallBuilders: https://wallbuilders.com/The American Story — Building the Republic: https://shop.wallbuilders.com/index.php/the-american-story-book-series.html--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Mo Isom tackles a topic many churches avoid: sex. “Jesus is unconcerned and with what we would culturally call ‘taboo.’ He came to set the captives free,” Isom told Pastor Allen in this podcast, where she shares about her ministry and how it began. She was a college soccer star who was struggling with her faith, when she found herself in late-night car accident. As she hung upside down in her Jeep, she had an encounter with God that changed the trajectory of her life. The Holy Spirit began to minister to the broken places in her life, and Isom now invests her time sharing what she has learned, encouraging teenagers and young adults toward purity and making choices that honor God. A New York Times Bestselling Author of three books, Isom offers a powerful testimony of God’s ability to change a person’s heart—and the course of their lives—in a single moment.More about Mo Isom:Mo’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/moisomMo’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moisom/?hl=en5th Wheel Missions Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5thwheelmissions/?hl=en--It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.
