CrossPolitic (Christ over politics) mixes the taboo formula of faith, culture, and politics to bring the clarity of the gospel into muddle America. We are a community of Christians who desire to see the Lordship of Christ in every corner of our culture, reigning over every politician, and changing every individual for our good and His glory. Our hosts are pastors, deacons, and filmmakers, who long to see our fallen and broken nation recognize Jesus as our redeemer. Our hosts have interviewed notable presidential candidates (such as Senator Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson), written books, preach the Gospel, make films, and utilize every avenue possible to declare the gospel of our Lord to the whole world.

The Civil War in the Pro-Life Movement Why did abortion survive the early 1980s, when momentum, political power, and Christian consensus seemed aligned? Why did pro-life leaders split over strategy instead of uniting around abolition?

In this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe and Toby address the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and deliver a wake-up call to the American church. They argue that the church has catastrophically failed in its duty as shepherds, receiving an "F minus" grade for allowing wolves to infiltrate education systems while pastors refuse to warn their congregations about the dangers of public schools. They critique the humanistic unity message being promoted in response to Kirk's murder, explaining how this false religion, which elevates humanity rather than God as the ultimate standard, actually breeds the very violence it claims to oppose. The conversation takes a hard turn toward biblical truth, with the hosts drawing from 2 Corinthians 6 to emphasize that there can be no unity between light and darkness, between Christ and those who hate Him. They challenge the "thou shalt be nice" mentality that has captured much of American Christianity, calling instead for believers to recognize the fundamental war between Christianity and humanism that has raged for over 150 years.

Charlie Kirk was a faithful Christian father and husband who was gunned down while speaking on a college campus. Joined by Pastor Doug Wilson and Lennox Kalifungwa, Knox and Toby talk through the massive implications of this devastating attack.The discussion explores how this tragic event represents a watershed moment in American history, with Pastor Wilson drawing parallels to the turbulent 1960s while noting that today's division runs much deeper into American institutions and culture. The conversation delves into biblical responses to injustice, discussing the need for swift execution of justice, public accountability, and the restoration of proper fear of consequences for criminal behavior. This attack wasn't just on one man, but on any Christian who stands for biblical truth, while calling for courage, faith, and faithful witness in the face of persecution.

In this episode of Crosspolitic Toby, Knox, and Gabe dive into a recent Institute for Family Studies report documenting America's "sex recession" - revealing that young adults aged 18-29 are having significantly less sex than previous generations, with sexlessness doubling since 2010. While initially seeming positive (less unmarried sex), it only takes exploring the deeper cultural implications to realize otherwise. With declining birth rates now below 1.6, reduced social interaction among young people, and a generation rewired by smartphones and social media since 2010, the discussion reveals how this trend points to broader issues of isolation, lack of real-world relationships, and a culture that has lost sight of biblical sexuality and marriage.

In this episode of CrossPolitic Toby, Knox, and Gabe welcome back Gary DeMar, president of American Vision, to discuss "The Great Debate: Does God Exist?". The book serves as a reading and analysis of the legendary 1985 Bahnsen-Stein debate. DeMar explains why this 40th anniversary examination of the debate remains relevant today, highlighting how Greg Bahnsen's presuppositional apologetic approach completely dismantled Gordon Stein's atheistic arguments by forcing him to confront his own philosophical assumptions. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into eschatology, addressing the public perception of a "falling out" between DeMar and the CrossPolitic guys over theological differences. The conversation ultimately comes around to the substantive discussion about the resurrection of the dead, the physical return of Christ, and The Final Judgment.

In this episode of Crosspolitic, we sat down with Dr. Steve Turley, known as the Patriot Professor, to discuss his new book "America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom" and the global rise of faith-based traditionalism. Dr. Turley argues that we're witnessing the collapse of the 300-year liberal secular era and the emergence of a new golden age rooted in nation, culture, custom, tradition, and faith. The conversation explores how this civilizational populism is manifesting through the rediscovery of manhood, the renewal of family structures, and the rise of decentralized networks that bypass legacy media. Dr. Turley shares encouraging data showing men are returning to faith at unprecedented rates and discusses how the current cultural moment presents an opportunity for Christians to build, lead, and transform their communities.
