Former Mormon missionary and ex-member of the LDS Church discusses struggles with Mormon faith in a conversation with Jeff Durbin. They explore diverse interpretations of scriptures, salvation through grace vs. works, significance of baptism in Mormonism and Christianity, and the transformative power of faith in Jesus. The conversation aims to bridge the gap between Christian and Mormon beliefs, emphasizing the importance of seeking truth and open dialogue.

The podcast discusses the tragic case of Alfie Evans, a little boy whose life was ended by the State against his parents' wishes. They talk about the impact of socialized healthcare, societal shifts towards Marxism, and the struggle between individual rights and state intervention. The speakers critique society's lack of meaningful dialogue, government control, and the ethical implications of medical decisions. They also explore the influence of social class on healthcare equity and the significance of viewer support in content creation and evangelism.

We are confident that many of you are aware of the conflict and conversation that has entered into the Christian community as of late concerning social justice and racial reconciliation. On the one hand, we have concerns that we have addressed in terms of how some have gone about bringing the conversation and in terms of some of the solutions offered. However, we are thrilled that many Christian leaders have entered into the discussion that many of us have been having for decades: true social justice. We know that God is the sovereign and when something happens in His Kingdom and church it happens for a purpose. So we see the silver-lining here and we want to offer biblical and godly conversation that aims at listening to one another and seeks God’s voice in how to experience transformation and healing. Does God have any concern for social justice in the New Covenant? Does God’s Word tell us that we are to expect or pursue social justice in the New Covenant? How do we address this issue without abandoning ourselves to the perverse social gospel of Protestant Liberalism? It turns out that there are real, clear, and abiding elements of God’s Law that we can all stand on together in our pursuit of justice in the world. Listen to this episode and find out. Share it with someone you love. We pray that this episode will be healing conversation to many of our wounded and it would be a course-corrective for those who may have started standing on answers that come from unbelieving thought rather than from God’s own Revelation.

On this new episode of Apologia Radio we are joined by our good friend and Hip-Hop artist, Ivery Conerly. We produced this episode with heavy hearts and a deep desire to see healing take place. You may be aware of the significant discussion and fall-out over the last couple of weeks (due in large part to the recent MLK Conference). Racial divides are very much alive and well at the moment and much of it has been brought into the church by a foreign worldview and ideology (more on this in the weeks to come). Here is some of the recent conflict: Thabiti: We Await Repentance for Assassinating Dr. King Dr. James White: The Racialist Lens Disrupts True Christian Unity: A Response to Thabiti Anyabwile Douglas Wilson: Dear Thabiti On this episode we discuss the problem of hatred and tribalism in the world and in the church (read: racism). We embrace the need to be sensitive to real hurt within the black community and we talk about the need to reject humanistic and unbelieving starting points, tactics, and strategies to address the problem of “racism” and justice. We hope and pray that this episode adds to the renewal and healing process. We are all one family in Christ. We have to fight to act like it.

Join us for this very important new episode of Apologia Radio in which we engage with some of the recent comments by Thabiti Anyabwile in his recent post with the Gospel Coalition. It was titled, “We Await Repentance for Assassinating Dr. King”. We talk a bit about the popular new fad with many in the Evangelical church of creating a new version of “class warfare”. Only, in this case, it is an amplification of “racial” distinctions within the Christian community. The stuff is deadly and it is tearing us apart. We talk about it and make a plea for a biblical approach to the world and color. We are also joined by our good friend from CrossPolitic, Gabriel Rench. He updates us about their recent town-hall with some of the candidates for Lt. Governor in Idaho. The event caused a bit of a stir with the national media: Fox News, AP, and more. One of the candidates answered in the affirmative: should women who have abortions be punished by the criminal justice system? Don’t miss it! Share it with someone you love!

David Hogg, survivor of the Florida school shooting, discusses gun control arguments on the podcast. They debate liberal funding, free speech, clear backpacks in schools, and the importance of defending individual liberties. The conversation delves into arming teachers, youth assertiveness, and reflections on tragedy and justice.

Ron Hood is attempting to pass a law in Ohio that would criminalize abortion immediately. In our attempt to contact him, he called us and told us that he was on his way to Arizona and would be at our studio in an hour. What followed was one of the best interviews Apologia has ever done. You need to listen to this interview, you need to share what is sad here and you need to take action and contact Ohio legislators and tell them to pass HB 565 immediately.

Listen-in on this discussion on the newest episode of Apologia Radio. We interview Dr. Matthew Clark with Personhood South Carolina about the recent attempt to put forth legislation that would recognize the humanity of a person at conception and give them all the legal protections afforded to born human beings. There is a lot of controversy surrounding this bill (by people on all sides). There are those on the Left that reject the notion that human beings ought to be protected in the womb and seen as humans. There are those on our side that question whether or not this bill goes far enough. We had him on to discuss the bill. Note: We believe that it is necessary to fight against abortion with a consistent Christian witness. We want legislation that criminalizes abortion and recognizes the image of God and humanity of every person from conception. We want legislation that is strong enough and consistent enough to enforce and that would give just penalties to anyone engaging in the practice. We see this bill as consistent in the area of recognizing the humanity of a person at conception and therefore is not in the same category of the failed legislation of the Pro-life community in terms of incrementalism (cleaner abortion facilities, heartbeat bills, pain capable, etc.). We also give you a bonus track from our recent discussion with Dr. Ben Merkle and Rebbeca Merkle. It’ll bless your socks off. Married couples are encouraged to listen and get challenged. Like. Share.

We’re sure this is a first for well known commentator Jesse Lee Peterson. Jeff Durbin and Jesse Lee Petersen have had interaction twice before on Peterson’s national broadcast. This time Peterson was on Apologia TV. This episode will go down as a vitally important and classic moment of Apologia. After investigation, Pastor Jeff has discovered that Peterson denies essential doctrines of the historic and biblical faith. Jeff confronts Peterson’s theology. Don’t miss it! Help spread the word about Peterson’s theological beliefs. Many are unaware of Peterson’s teachings (he also has an online “church”). And while Peterson might be helpful as a conservative commentator in some areas, his theology is aberrant and heretical.
