Theology Applied

The hosts dissect Nick Fuentes's controversial predictions about U.S. involvement in the Middle East, reflecting on historical rejection of prophetic voices in politics. They analyze the tumultuous dynamics between the U.S., Iran, and Israel, highlighting the implications of military actions. The discussion blends humor with serious reflections on foreign policy and societal issues. Furthermore, they advocate for an isolationist approach while examining the complexities of cultural identities and the challenges Christians face in Iran.

In the rubble of two world wars and the establishment of the modern state of Israel, a relatively nascent theological system exploded in popularity in America: Dispensationalism.While dispensationalism traces its roots back to the mid-19th century and steadily grew in popularity in the beginning of the 20th century, it was only with Hal Lindsey’s 1970 book “The Late Great Planet Earth”, published at the height of Cold War fears and the threat of nuclear apocalypse, that its ideas firmly gripped the American consciousness.For Hal Lindsey, the supposed return of Israel to the land, the recapture of ancient Jerusalem, and the evangelism of the known world pointed to an imminent rapture and the end of days.It is understandable that in a world teetering on the brink of mutually assured nuclear annihilation, books full of apocalyptic prophecy caught on. But here we are a generation later, the Cold War long over, and many Christians are realizing that we are in this for the long haul. And one of the first orders of business is convincing our leaders that the dispensationalist framing they assumed from decades prior no longer works.A case in point of the collision of dispensationalism with the new right wing is Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson this past week, thinking the same old answers about blessing Israel and describing them as our greatest ally would work. Spoiler alert: they didn’t.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

The Democratic Party faces a crisis as Gen Z voters increasingly reject traditional party loyalty. Recent internal conflicts arise, highlighted by the ousting of reformer David Hogg, reflecting a broader ideological divide. Younger voters prioritize intense beliefs over compromise, pushing the party into uncharted waters. Cultural shifts, spurred by figures like Trump, further complicate this dynamic. As Generation Z navigates their relationship with politics and faith, the implications for the future of the party are profound.

Over the weekend you saw the headlines as Israel struck Iran in a surprise attack after negotiations over Iran’s supposed nuclear program broke down. For Israel, Iran poses an existential threat if they develop nuclear capabilities, while Iran views Israel as an illegitimate state and stands in solidarity with the Mohammedans occupying Palestine. This conflict has been raging since 1979, and Friday’s escalation is merely the next chapter in an ancient blood feud.But more than Israel fears Iran’s nuclear capabilities, Israel fears losing the support of the West. Support for Israel has been decline since October 7th, 2023. Younger evangelicals are more indifferent and nationalists sentiments against foreign aid have already stranded Ukraine just 5 months into Trump’s presidency. With the exception of their intelligence operations, Israel’s military is relatively small and underpowered. In short, they desperately need the US and the EU to see their war against Iran as justified and for them to join the fray.And so, President Donald Trump is facing the most important test of his presidency. The Middle East is the graveyard of kingdoms. 20 years and $3 trillion dollars failed achieve a stable government in Iraq. If we are dragged into another war the benefits will be practically negligible for us, and the downsides almost infinite. Will Trump rip the bandaid off and make the US be done playing international peacemaker?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

The conversation dives into the transformative impact of AI on various industries, from dishwashers to Tesla robots. A looming question emerges: how will automation threaten entry-level jobs and exacerbate wealth inequality? Discussions explore ethical implications of job displacement and the responsibilities of government to ensure economic stability. The podcast also reflects on historical parallels and the moral dimensions of property ownership, contrasting ancient practices with modern wealth consolidation. Lastly, unsettling AI capabilities spark urgent considerations for the future.

Once upon a time, gambling was something done in back rooms and smoke-filled basements. Now? One in five Americans has a sports betting app — right next to their Bible app. In 2024 alone, Americans legally wagered nearly $150 billion on sports. Nearly all of it — 95% — was done online. No dice, no bookie. Just tap, swipe, lose.For over a century, both American law and Christian conscience agreed: gambling was a vice. Not merely a private sin, but a public threat. It corrupted sports — from the 1919 Black Sox scandal to Pete Rose. It bankrupted homes. It bred addiction. So in 1992, Congress passed the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act, barring states from legalizing sports betting. The goal was to shield young people, uphold the integrity of sports, and slow the spread of a morally corrosive practice. That restraint lasted 26 years — until the Supreme Court struck down PASPA in 2018. Since then, we’ve witnessed a cultural transformation: not a thoughtful reappraisal of risk and reward, but a full surrender to the gods of revenue, entertainment, and ease.And that surrender has been lucrative. Lobbyists promised lawmakers untold tax revenue. Tech companies engineered betting apps that are frictionless, addictive, and nearly impossible to close. Now, children can stream an NBA game and place a live bet on who misses the next free throw. The app encourages it. So does the league.But is it just harmless fun? A little added thrill to the game? Or is it something deeper — a system designed not to entertain, but to exploit? When gambling apps track your every wager, target your weaknesses, and make it easier to bet than to withdraw, is that still freedom — or is it a new form of bondage?And what happens when Christians get pulled into that system? For centuries, the church understood games of chance as morally precarious, if not downright dangerous. Not because randomness is sinful — after all, “the lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord” — but because gambling treats chance as profit, and profit as providence. It tempts us to see fortune as fate, and risk as recreation.So what are we really looking at here — a neutral technology that needs guarding? Or a predatory industry that preys on disordered loves, promising fast money and delivering slow ruin?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

This past weekend, federal agents raided businesses across Los Angeles—two Home Depots, a clothing wholesaler, and more—arresting over a hundred illegal immigrants. Hours later, masked protesters blocked freeways, torched federal vehicles, and hurled fireworks at LAPD officers. The streets of L.A. didn’t just erupt—they revealed something. We’re not just arguing over immigration enforcement. We’re staring down a deeper crisis: whether America still has the will to define who it is—and the honesty to acknowledge who it has been.For decades, California has quietly built a legal scaffolding designed to shield itself from federal immigration enforcement. From SB 54 to sanctuary city ordinances, local jurisdictions don’t defy federal law outright—they maneuver around it. Now, cities like Glendale are cutting ties with ICE, while taxpayer-funded activist groups rally thousands to disrupt deportations. All of it legal. All of it coordinated. And all of it pointing to a growing divide: between those who believe our national identity should be preserved, and those who insist it must be deconstructed.Supporters of these sanctuary policies argue that they reflect compassion and community trust. But what’s being obscured beneath that language is something far more consequential: a moral unwillingness to distinguish citizen from foreigner, and a political unwillingness to enforce the boundaries that make a nation a nation.We are watching a nation lose the will to be itself. This is more than a clash over immigration—it’s a struggle over whether the American nation has the right to protect its own integrity, or whether it must yield to a new order that treats enforcement as cruelty and national loyalty as shame. These protests, these raids, this chaos—none of it is happening in a vacuum. It’s the fruit of a generation taught to despise the very idea of national inheritance.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors. You can join our Patreon at patreon.com/rightresponseministries or donate at rightresponseministries.com/donate.Today, we’re going to examine what’s really driving the riots in L.A., the legal infrastructure that allows states to resist federal enforcement, and most importantly—the theological and moral failure to love our own people rightly.

Pastor Michael Belch teaches from Matthew 9:35-38.

Tune in as Dr. Wolfe and Pastor Reece discuss the use of Natural Law & Theonomy.

<p>In May of 2022, Elon Musk announced he would no longer support the Democrat party, citing them as having become the party of “division and hate.” The richest man in the world would go on to purchase Twitter and invest over $290 million into the 2024 election to get Donald Trump and Republican candidates elected. These two acts alone likely changed the course of the Right Wing movement in America forever. After the elections, he then left his businesses to work on cutting wasteful spending in the government via the Department of Government Efficiency, which went on to cost his companies millions in boycotts, arson, and negative press.</p><br><p>But that honeymoon period is now over. Fed up with the proposed deficit increases and perceived snubs of Tesla and Starlink in the massive spending bill working its way through Congress, Elon Musk began to lash out at the bill and Republicans who supported it. Never one to let an insult slide, Donald Trump quickly became critical of Elon and his subsidies, and it devolved rapidly from there.</p><br><p>Now the two most important individuals in the world are at bitter odds with one another. Elon accused Trump of appearing in the Epstein files; Trump shot back that he is a ketamine addict who should go back to Africa. No one can chart a path through the ticking time bombs of out-of-control spending, mass immigration, and trying to fund a government that spends over $200,000 per second.</p><br><p>This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.
