#185 Being a Sober-minded Christian in the Supposed Golden Age

In today's political climate, the American church, depending on who you speak with, is on the brink of a moral relapse or on the brink of a golden age. How did we get to such an impasse amongst Christians? Is DOGE that big a deal for Christians and their convictions? Where were those convictions the last 4 years? Are conservative Christians heartless for lacking sympathy for their neighbors affected by these grand changes?

Have we gone too far with our allegiance to government? Have we neglected the deep implications of what it means to be the (C)hurch? How does a Christian live in this new era of American history where there are both things to celebrate and mourn?

As we navigate these waters, Christians are reminded to revert back to their profession. This profession can be summed up into two words - believing loyalty. This loyalty belongs to God and only to God. It doesn't belong to democrats nor to republicans. Not to Trump. Nor to Obama, Biden, Clinton etc.

However, when this loyalty is lived out, there will be uncompromisable principles we, as Christians are called to stand firm in. And you should never move one inch on those principles...for anyone. How should we wade these waters faithfully rather than gleefully with bitter vengeance in our hearts toward our neighbors? Maybe Brandon will address some of this. Let him know your thoughts in the comment section!

Matt Walsh's 'What is a Woman' is still trending for its brilliance in highlighting the psychological failings of a lot of what is being propagated as hope for many people. How does this new wave postmodern thought line up with conversations on race and critical theory? We throw around some thoughts with The Center for Biblical Unity's Monique Duson to see if we can make it make sense.Check out www.centerforbiblicalunity.com

#161 Is Michael Heiser a Heretic? (Responding to Michael Heiser Criticism) Part II

A couple of weeks ago, Doreen Virtue, our friend and fellow party pooper, Marcia Montenegro and 3 others gathered to share their concerns for Brandon's teacher, Dr. Michael Heiser. Though, it is very common for students to defend their teachers, Brandon's desire is to defend the cohesion of scripture and the unity of the body of Christ.
The Original Video rejects Heiser's teaching as "polytheistic" and " fringe". It doesn't stop there. Heiser is passively attacked and his witness to Christ is in question. We do this episode out fo love for those who posted the video and love for the late Dr. Hesier. We will all discuss our mishaps regarding this aspect of biblical theology in glory. Until then, lets debate...

#182 We Were Sent Angry Messages Over MLK and Donald Trump: This is Our Response

This is our first episode discussing the President elect, Donald J. Trump. Unfortunately, things seem to be going the exact way it went 8 years ago. We don't know if we have it in us to do the conservative apologetics that we did 4 years ago around the beginning of our podcast. What does a Christian have to do with politics? It is a good thing to vote based on (biblical) convictions. However, there is no human that can thwart the plans of God and it is necessary to remember this.

Trump, in his first 100 days has made ultra conservative moves and has dialed back the sexual revolutions indoctrinating schemes within government. We're rejoicing over this. But what about things like USAID and other Government cutbacks? Whey are so many people upset and burning with anger over this? We've received messages about MLK and about Trump...here is our response.

**Note: Elijah rebuked the ba'al prophets. Brandon misspoke**

#168 Have American Christians Bent the Knee to Culture?

Did you know that the entire LGBTQIA2S+ movement is built on deception and lies? No...really. Why don't more Christians seem to care? Why are more and more Christian placating to the world? Maybe, if your context is anything like ours, you've heard something like:
"You can be a Christian and gay!" or "Sure, its ok to go to a gay wedding!" or "I just use the pronouns because it is loving our neighbor". Wherever I turn, I see more and more Christians wanting to blend in with the way things are while simultaneously falling in disdain with early church history, biblical doctrine and a true pursuit of Jesus. Where are we headed? Why is the bride of Christ bending the knee to things that we are warned about time and time again throughout scripture. Jesus has called His followers to carry a cross. Our lives can be enjoyable...but there WILL be hardship for the true follower of Jesus. We pray that you are encouraged to stand firm and not deny Him the way the world commands you to.

Finishing up our series on Biblical Manhood, we had a live episode with some audience interactions. We go through the highlights from the series and engage some good questions listeners had during the episode or throughout the series. If there is one takeaway from this series it is this - a society's flourishing or destruction will have men at its helm.

#187 A Self-Examination: Have We Been Protecting Predators in the American Church?

There is something that every shepherd ought to have buried in his heart - a desire to protect. Before we even discuss the ability to protect proficiently, it must start with a desire. The fallout from the MLK episodes left a lasting scar. Genuine astonishment took place at the flippant responses people made to MLK's alleged sexual assault. This ought to make us think - "am I willing to protect a predator as long as I think highly of him/her?".

Is this something the church has been doing for a long time? Who in the Lord's church, will stand and call her to task? We are to be sober-minded, impartial and to have righteous judgment. This episode is for you, listener. May we all be examined by the Lord and may He remove from within us anything that would contribute to predator curation.

There are voices behind abuse. We will listen to three of them. I want us to think of these voices when we flippantly look to defend someone merely because of their status.
