Two Civil Wars: Leftist Church Attacks & The Pro-Life Betrayal (ft. Matthew Clark) On this episode of Cross Politic, Toby and Gabe welcome Pastor Matt Clark, a board-certified physician and Executive Director of Personhood South Carolina, onto the show to talk about the issue of abortion legislation and why the pro-life movement needs equal protection laws that criminalize abortion without exception, including holding mothers accountable for their participation in ending their children's lives. ABOUT CROSSPOLITIC CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media.

How do we define what is? Host Casey Harper is joined by author and pastor, David Schrock, and The Washington Stand’s Jared Bridges to unpack how Christians can begin to define the world the way God originally created it. Where do we start to understand what we know? The three discuss what has diluted Truth, the impact of post modernism on understanding what is true, and the definition of humanity.

An article in Tablet magazine discussing the segment of the Gen Z population that is turning to conservative and demanding forms of religious practice provides the jumping off point for this episode. The article suggests that the turn toward rigorous religions comes from a reaction to the chaos of a rootless culture more than from a turn to faith. The guys discuss this idea and its implications for worship and for ministry to Gen Z.

Our society and law have progressed from prohibiting access to contraceptives in 1879 to a Supreme Court argument this week about human sexuality to U.S. Senator Josh Hawley asking a Doctor if a man can get pregnant. Why has this "evolution" occurred and gone in only one direction? And why don't we ask "Why" questions anymore? It's all of one piece. Something fundamental is missing in our thinking. {My reference to Kansas should be Nebraska]

On this episode of Crosspolitic, Knox, Toby, and Gabe welcome Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports and Jackson to discuss polling manipulation in the Trump era and why Generation Z is becoming dangerously revolutionary, with 75% of young Trump voters now supporting socialist policies such as nationalizing major industries.

SWAT Medic and fireman Jacob Glass offers a professional AND Christian perspective on the recent ICE shooting in Minneapolis

This week we looked back on the previous seven days and discovered that our bodies are still a series of confusing noises, our health issues remain mostly imaginary until proven otherwise, and seagulls have evolved into confident beach criminals who make direct eye contact while stealing food. We debated whether it’s ethical to summon predators, concluded animals are doing whatever they want regardless of our opinions, and tried to figure out how to end conversations without resorting to fake phone calls or slowly backing into traffic. We also wandered through the modern shopping experience, from the strange treasures at Ollie’s to the emotional roller coaster of grocery delivery, where someone else chooses your produce and you just have to live with that. Along the way we questioned technology, nostalgia, college memories, daytime television, and why hospitals are the one place where you desperately want everyone to leave you alone while also needing them to bring snacks. Altogether, it’s a thoughtful, meandering examination of consumer culture, social behavior, and the ongoing mystery of how we got here and why the seagulls are winning.

Send us a text We're back! Back from the Christmas break, Greg sat down with Cory Wing & Andrew Rappaport. They discussed the Minnesota shooting, and the broader themes of why this happened. Towards the end of the show they also touched on the Somali Fraud and the possible acquisition of Greenland. Enjoy!

In this episode, Joe Boot, Michael Thiessen, and Nate Wright reflect on an unexpected invitation to AmericaFest and why it became a significant cultural moment. From conversations at Turning Point USA to public engagement at a conference of tens of thousands, they consider what these opportunities reveal about the state of the Church today. They discuss Joe’s interview with Steve Deace, the problem of a Christianity that asks “how little can we do,” and the urgent need for Christian maturity. The episode explores the distinction between the church and the Kingdom of God, the dangers of privatized faith, and how believers should respond when church institutions fail to equip God’s people for cultural engagement. This conversation sets the stage for a multi-week reflection on AmericaFest, cultural responsibility, and advancing the Kingdom of God in our time.

This is a section from a show recorded in January of 2020. It is being reuploaded in light of his passing. Rest in peace, Scott. The Crosspolitic guys welcome Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip and author of "Loser Think: How Untrained Brains Are Ruining America," on to discuss flawed thinking patterns in modern society and why specialized knowledge without cross-domain experience leads to poor decision-making and public discourse.

The Hyde Amendment is crucial—it protects taxpayers from being forced to fund abortion and upholds the dignity of human life. So why is President Trump asking Congress to be “flexible” when it comes to Hyde? To discuss this, host Casey Harper is joined by Chuck Donovan, a pro-life expert who has been in the fight for over 20 years. Having served in the Reagan administration, Chuck details how the Hyde Amendment came to be, what it entails, and the dangers of removing it. The two also unpack the recent actions of the Trump administration and what is causing the sudden shift away from protecting life.

Today on the Prison Pulpit we listen to Elder W, a Chinese pastor who recently spent time in prison, teach us how to better pray for China’s persecuted believers. Then we once again let Richard Wurmbrand teach us (in an unpublished message) about the “prison tea” that he and others drank often under Communism. https://open.substack.com/pub/chinacall/p/the-seven-herbs-of-prison-tea I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben.

Pray for Venezuela (and Iran, too)! And just how much are 800 old Venezuelan Bolivares worth? (according to Grok, much less than 1/100th of 1 cent!) Why the Prison Pulpit? The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

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? And why are those same fault lines still tearing at the movement today between abolitionists, incrementalists, and legacy pro-life institutions?This breakout episode of a new Crosspolitic series traces the legislative history, theological disagreements, and legal realities that led to a three-way split within the pro-life movement.

This is a special ediction because I'm asking you to consider telling me if I am missing something about the meaning of the words "faith of God" in my understanding of Romans 3:3, "For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the FAITH OF GOD without effect?" (KJV). I ask in sincerity because I noticed this morning that ALL translations since the KJV, even the NKJV, translate "faith of God" as "the faithfulness of God." As I thought about the difference, I began to think the "faithfulness-of-God"-translations may be missing something important that is in the KJV.

Is Trump Becoming a Socialist? (ft.

Today the Pugs welcome Dr. Scott Masson of Tyndale University onto the show. Scott is an Associate Professor of English and an authority on Romanticism. He also is known for his commitment to a recovery of classical learning. Today Scott reflects on the broken relationship between the humanities and theology and the disastrous consequences for higher education. He notes that this strikes right at the heart of the Christian faith because it separates the divine and human natures of the Son of God. He compares this to the broken sword Aduril from The Lord of the Rings and notes that the right ordering of our loves and the restoration of culture won't occur until the sword is reforged in the West.

The year doesn’t owe you anything. But it also doesn’t prevent you from getting what you can earn. The opportunity is still there. The customers are still buying. The problems are still solvable. You just have to stop expecting it to be easy. Instead, go into this year expecting resistance and setbacks. Expect things to go sideways. And instead of being shocked when they do, be prepared. Get after it and make it happen. You’re not owed anything.

Now Available on Amazon (+ free PDF): The Millionaire Missionary (BordenofYale.com) Venezuelan Oil & China: Four Things to Know https://asia.nikkei.com/business/energy/venezuelan-oil-and-china-4-things-to-know How to Pray for Venezuela (via Mr. Marquez) For churches and pastors to be used by God and bring words of encouragement to the lives of believers, as many are fearful and unsure of what to do during these times of tension. For peace, and a peaceful transition in Venezuela, without innocent victims. For believers to trust not in man, but in Jesus Christ, and remember that His kingdom is above any human kingdom. That God may protect His church, the evangelists, pastors, and those who visit the sick in Venezuela, as armed groups are intimidating citizens 24 hrs a day in many parts of the country. Conversation with the Podcast Ninja I met with the Podcast Ninja again the other day to catch up on our respective hunting seasons, basketball teams, and Indiana’s best-in-the-country college football team. We took some time to discuss the blessings (and possible pitfalls) of praying for the persecuted. After our conversation which was recorded in the middle of the week, I came back and updated everyone on a couple of things that were discussed… The hunt was fun, but no meat! The Podcast Ninja informed me that he did talk to his kids about Hebrews 13:3 at dinner Indiana University rolls over Oregon (gave me a chance to watch Thunder comeback) Now let's take a look at this coming week's Pray for China (PrayforChina.us) cities… https://chinacall.substack.com/p/pray-for-china-jan-12-18-2026 Thank you for listening!

Today I explain the dirty trick the U.S. Supreme Court played on the states to foist on them a new understanding of human meaning, a new anthropology. You will see how the Court degraded the high view of marriage expressed by Massachusetts and Connecticul statutes dating from 1879 to the constitutional protection of fornication in 1972!

Pastor and author CR Wiley and pastor Josh Howard discuss the "techno-utopia", trans-humanism, and what most modern postmillennials get wrong.

As the Ezra Institute looks ahead to 2026, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Michael Thiessen and Jordan Cecile to share what’s coming next—and how listeners can get involved. In this episode, the team unpacks new Ezra Press projects, the Foundations curriculum for churches, the launch of the Ezra Ambassadors Network, and the continued growth of Ezra Media. They also highlight key in-person training opportunities, including the Worldview Youth Academy and the returning Cultural Leadership Academy. With candid conversation, humor, and behind-the-scenes insight, this episode invites listeners to move beyond listening and take an active role in advancing biblical cultural reformation.

On today's Prison Pulpit, we start and finish with Venezuela, as my Venezuelan teammate writes in with four ways to pray for his country at this time of both joy and uncertainty.

(2:43) Venezuela no longer a prison: We have very close friends and teammates from Venezuela, so I understand the situation there better than most, however it dawned on me today that after the liberation of Venezuela from the dictator Maduro, I probably should have been praying for the people (Christians, especially) much more than I have. Their situation these past 10+ years especially has been very much akin to being in a prison cell. Hence, nearly ⅓ (8+ million) “escaped” during that time for survival’s sake. I may have more to say on a future podcast, but for now I want to point out that although we probably haven’t been praying for Venezuela as we ought to have done, I guarantee you that Venezuelan Christians (esp. those who had found freedom abroad) were quote “Remembering those in prison (back in Venezuela) as if they themselves were still bound with them”. In other words, they knew what it was like in that failed socialist state, and could pray as the author of Hebrews intended; not vague, faraway prayers, but knowledgeable, precise prayers as those who understood suffering and all that was at stake. For all those who prayed in such a way, whether Venezuelan refugees, concerned Christians around the world, or the Venezuelan people themselves, how awesome it is to see God so clearly answer prayer! (Note: with the current power vacuum there, we ought to continue to pray God would raise up humble, godly leadership during this dangerous transition time.) (7:26) Uncle Bundo’s New Year’s Prison Preaching Plan: In the summer of 2024, I interviewed a few of my friends who were being sentenced by the Biden DOJ for their participation in a peaceful prayer vigil while blocking the entrance to a (now shuttered) abortion clinic in Nashville back in 2021. Uncle Bundo was given 6 months in Federal Prison, which he served in rural Illinois. I share this by way of introduction, because I want to read you a story, a testimony, that Uncle Bundo shared on his Facebook page on New Year’s Day about what happened on LAST YEAR’S New Year’s Day.

What if you want to get more done this year than just 3 things? That's great. So do I. So then set goals on a quarterly basis, instead of an annual one. 3 priorities for the next 3 months. You finish those, you can add some more. If you don't finish them, you keep at it for the next batch of 3 months. I look at my year 13 weeks at a time. Control how much food you put on your plate, and you'll be surprised how much healthier you'll be. You don't win by doing everything. You win by doing the right things well. And there are only a few right things. Set fewer goals. Hit more targets.

On this episode of CrossPolitic we celebrate our 10-year anniversary by taking viewers on a nostalgic journey through the most pivotal moments in American Christian history from 2016 to 2026, examining clips featuring Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Jordan Peterson, Dave Rubin, and other major conservative figures to demonstrate why Christless conservatism has failed America and why only the lordship of Jesus Christ can lead the nation out of cultural chaos and into true revival.

Help us resolve a family debate! LATER: We're not saying that EVERY Democrat will be murdered by their own mentally-ill child... But, there are a few Leftist-leaning parents in the "community" who are wondering whether they may be next. Why are we treading so lightly on this topic?

This is for those who want to dig a bit deeper into "understanding the times" that I explained last week using SCOTUSs decision in Eisenstadt v. Baird. Two short audio clips of TN Senator Marsha Blackburn's interrogation of then judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson and my explanation of them demonstrate the cosmological merry-go-round of metaphysical nihilism we are on. Don't miss understanding the cosmology she is writing into our law.

In this episode the Pugs engage some of the theological roots that gave rise and shape to Western empiricism, especially in the Scottish Tradition of David Hume. In particular, they engage how the pessimistic view of fallen human reason take on a distorted shape when severed from the rich theological setting of Augustine's theology, and then lead to secular reappropriations by secular thinkers like Hume and others.

Most Christians see the nature of the Christian life in this fallen world was a conflict between good and evil, the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan. that the conflict is almost between two equal forces. Rather than the biblical witness as a conquest over evil. https://mikedvirgilio.com/will-the-ra... Twitter/X handle https://x.com/mdvirgilio

Today, I explain how the United States Supreme Court came to understand the word “liberty” in the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause and the changes in society's understanding of the cosmos that influenced it. Understanding the evolution of that word is critical to everyone who wants to understand our times and know better how to “walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time” (Colossians 4:5 KJV). "Sons of Issachar" should not miss this one.

As a new year begins, Christians face mounting cultural pressure, constant bad news, and growing anxiety. In this opening episode of 2026, the Podcast for Cultural Reformation takes a pastoral turn—calling believers to lift their eyes from the chaos and fix them firmly on Christ. Ezra Institute Fellow Pastor Aaron Rock joins Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen to discuss fear, time, habits, and courage. Together they explore how constant media consumption shapes anxiety, why godly discipline matters more than short-lived resolutions, and how courage is cultivated through obedience, conviction, and love for God. This episode offers a steady, hope-filled call to faithful living—reminding Christians that victory in uncertain times is found not in fear, but in faithfulness to Christ.

We spend time talking through New Year’s traditions, mostly by noticing how much meaning we’ve managed to assign to them. We discuss eating out, the choices we make around food, and the responsibilities that come with traveling, all of which feel more complicated once we’re actually doing them. Along the way, we reflect on how these habits have become normal and why they continue to matter to us. We also talk about resolutions, confetti, and the symbolism we attach to small moments and objects. We touch on capturing memories, saying goodbyes, and the simple pleasure found in cancellations. The conversation rounds out with a look at choosing a “word of the year” and a light, humorous critique of how fast food mascots, especially Ronald McDonald—have changed over time.

On this episode of Crosspolitic recorded live at AmFest 2025, hosts Toby Knox and Gabe welcome Nick Freitas, former Green Beret and Virginia State Legislator, to talk about the issue of building faithful Christian men and families in a hostile culture and why the church must boldly stand for biblical truth while equipping believers to engage politically and culturally without compromise.

For much of the past year we have been working through a book by Richard Wurmbrand, entitled “Sermons in Solitary Confinement”. His past writings speak to us on behalf of those of the persecuted church who are currently, actively, being imprisoned and tortured for Christ, reminding us to pray for them. We haven’t gone through every Prison Sermon from this book, but probably more than half. And today is the final one. Sermons in Solitary Confinement (Free PDF): https://richardwurmbrandfoundation.com/pdfs/ssc-english.pdf By the way, for those who don't know who Richard Wurmband is, here's a brief introduction: Lutheran minister in Romania. 14 years in prison, including 3 in solitary confinement. After “escaping” abroad in the 1960s, published ”Tortured for Christ" and testified to Congress. Helped start Voice of the Martyrs (but his son Michael doesn’t trust VOM).

Vision without categories is a foreign language. People need frameworks to understand what you're talking about. They're imagination is limited to their current mental paradigms. Leaders create those frameworks, as they build the mental architecture that turns tasks into meaningful contribution. Leader create categories.
