Despite Popular Belief

No, I'm not back, sorry! Wanted to drop some bonus content like I mentioned in the last episode. Grab a Crunchwrap Supreme and kick back: Two sides of the LGBTQ2A+ community have collided. The gay community is accusing the grooming community of hijacking their movement and causing irreparable harm to their social progress. Both sides speak with a level of authority as they try to teach the public how to treat members of both communities, how to address each other, and demanding what children must learn. So, what happens when two secular worldviews collide? Who is right? Where should Christians stand in all of this? And what authority do Christians, Pastors, and Scripture have?

After 5 years of podcasting and almost 20,000 streams, it's time to retire Despite Popular Belief.

Previously a private, bonus episode from Base Ministry Support (Patreon), today, we're examining a difficult situation: What happens if you die with unconfessed sin, active addiction, or even unintentional offense towards Almighty God? Infamous apologist, Ravi Zacharias, left a horrifying legacy of secret sex crimes despite his life's devotion to ministry that was devastatingly exposed after his passing. Was he forgiven? Was his sin dealt with? Fortunately for us, we have examples in Scripture to confront this very situation. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcasting platform.

DISCLAIMER: Not suitable for children. Season 5 kicks off with some demonic chicanery. Corrupt governments historically have played with demons and gotten away with murder... literally. However, Scripture prophesied that "the government will be on His shoulders." Let's examine 3 examples of governments and their dealings with the occult and the demonic: Haiti's deal with the devil, CERN's god of destruction, and America's deep history in cults. But, it's not all doom and gloom! Scripture brings hope to this disturbing world. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcasting platform.

Brian Del Turco (Jesus Smart) and Mark Russak (The Russak Outlook) join us to talk about what the days of Noah looked like right before the Great Flood and if we are headed that direction AGAIN. Now, Scripture is clear that God would not destroy the Earth with water again, so what does it mean when Jesus states that prior to His return, it will be "as in the days of Noah..." (Luke 17:26-27)?

Rosey and Turner of the All Out War podcast return in this bonus, audio-only episode to determine what Scripture has to say about conspiracy theories, how knowledge of Scripture and history lead to Gospel conversations, and spiritually knowing when to quit researching certain topics. You're not going to hear some of this from the pulpit.

Former Satanist, Jay Abercrombie, shares his intense testimony on how Jesus Christ radically changed his life. Addicted to pills, alcohol, and pornography, Jay found himself bed-ridden and fearing the afterlife for the first time ever... Something inside prompted him to pick up the book of Matthew, and he couldn't put it down. You do NOT want to miss this redemption story!

There's nothing synthetic about weed: God made it, you pluck it from the ground, you light it, you inhale it, it has an effect. So why is it so demonized? And what we want to know, ultimately, is if Christians should smoke it! This goes beyond just "having a sober mind" which Christians quote so frequently.

In part 1, we used Scripture to explain what angels look like. But what can angels do? Cody Bockelkamp of Reformanda Co. is with us again to cover it all. Whether it's entertaining angels, angels of death, or references at the cross, Scripture is extremely clear about what angels were made for and what they are capable of.

Does belief in the Trinity actually matter? Is Jesus the only way to salvation? Scripture answers both of these questions clearly, and church history reveals where and why many have deviated. In fact, we might be witnessing a one-world religion gaining traction. We have special guest, Heath Robertson, second year PhD in Systematic Theology at the University of Aberdeen, here to discuss his new book, "Unitarian Universalism: A Systematic Theology and Critique."

Why are we obsessed with great stories and even greater characters? It's almost as if there is something already in us that points us to The Greatest Story ever told. Science fiction writer and podcaster, JCL Faltot, returns as DPB record holder to analyze The Matrix and its Biblical parallels. The names and plot are not coincidental; "Dodge this."

God-glorifying, theologically sound worship is getting harder and harder to find nowadays, so when we find it, we share it!

We pick up where we left off with American sniper, John Cooper, and former cohost, Erik Marti, to discuss what it was like to be in Afghanistan when C0/1d hit. It was a shock to come back to America and see people's newfound antisocial misanthropy. John also explains the beauty of God's justice, the Scriptures he meditated on before battle, and the verses he wrote on his grenades.

Season 4 is here! This is a very special episode to me; I finally roped in some of my old metal bandmates from To Every Cynic (2009-2012). The stories we share will explain a lot of my roots and love for the genre. Aside from our favorite memories and funny stories from the road, we share vulnerable moments of growth since we all shared the stage: establishing personal boundaries, assessing what is actually bringing us to church, exposing false idols, and even healing from divorce.

We crave justice so badly, and it seems like the wicked are going unpunished lately. If God is just, why did 2021 go the way that it did? What will next year be like? What will the future be like for our kids? I will share a prayer tactic that is straight from Scripture as we end this year on a hopeful note. God bless you, have a Merry Christmas, and stand before kings!

Children's Pastor, Stephanie Rothman, shares her experience and passion in teaching young parents how to disciple their kids. Did you know that there is a critical age range in which children have a better chance of grasping foundational theology? She provides advice that all current and future Christian parents need to be considering NOW. This episode also includes your favorite segments: Church History, Current Events, Useless Trivia That Could Never Save Your Life, and more!

Who loves crossover events? No, we're not talking about dead people, we're talking about collaborations! Brian Del Turco of Jesus Smart and JCL Faltot of The Writer's Lens (and The Narrative Wars) join us today to discuss Western Church, political agendas, and how to speak Truth during the holidays when secularism seems to overshadow it all. Stick with us to the end and you will get a chance to hear burning questions we'd like to ask God someday.

If only some are predestined, what does that mean for the rest? We're going to dive into the significance of justice, justification, mercy, and grace as they pertain to salvation. Churches divide over this, and it's something I battled with for years. So what exactly does the Bible say about predestination? This one is packed full of Scripture, and my hope is that this will encourage you to wholeheartedly examine this with fresh eyes. New segments included!

Foundational, core beliefs from Scripture are thrown by the wayside as the secular world seems to be catered to more and more by cowardly pastors. What if you are stuck in a church that has already been infiltrated by secular ideals and agendas? We are going to identify those red flags so that you can be ready when they come.

Grant and Josiah from the Seeker's Start podcast join us today to talk about what media Christians should or should not be consuming. Are music and sounds neutral? Is legalism killing your testimony? Validation, identity, and conviction are all on the table as we discuss why we should avoid certain forms of secular media, music, and movies. The Seeker boys also throw one over my head with a song reference from Shrek... I should have known better.

All Out War's Turner & Rosey join us today to revisit the very first topic we ever covered on DPB: ALIENS. That's right, extraterrestrials.

Ally and Aaron Rossborough return for Part 2 of Progressive Christianity & Woke Church to discuss Points 4-8 of Progressive Christianity. This covers everything from the problems of loving yourself before loving others, deconstructionism, the NEW Green New Deal, Himalayan salt lick lamps, Critical Race Theory, and Universalism. This is a massive warning to anyone who is unsure of what Progressive Christianity is or to those who might be in a church that is quickly becoming Progressive.

Ally & Aaron Rossborough join us to expose the dangers of Progressive Christianity and the Woke Church. Part 1 of this two-part series covers Points 1-3 of Progressive Christianity. We differentiate the Reformers explanation of progress, define terms, explain heresies, and shed light on what sin and love truly are according to Scripture.

Greg Hamilton returns to discuss Vampires and where the early Germanic belief in these creatures manifested. Jewish tradition even takes us to Proverbs 30 where some claim that the mystic "Alukah," a sharp-toothed, shapeshifting blood-sucker, is being described. Scripture addresses the consumption of lifeblood in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Are Christians considered cannibals and vampires for consuming the Body and Blood of Christ in Communion?

Scholars have determined which English translation is the MOST accurate; listen now to find out which one that is...

This is the 3rd and final installment of the Girl Grit series featuring the important, godly women in my life. In this episode I interviewed my older sister, Leah Tortorice. She is a survivor of Crohn' disease, was an ultrasound technician in ministry witnessing to abortion-minded girls/women, an assistant in the Emergency Room to women with botched abortions, and is now a mother of three kids with one on the way. Oh, and her love story with her husband started in the hospital immediately after her life-altering surgery caused by a third-world country strand of E. coli, prompting a local investigation by the CDC...

This godly woman explains what it's like to work in the respiratory unit during the pandemic, lives she's saved, and having to pull the plug on people for a living. But it's not all gloom and doom; she also discusses what it was like to raise me (the most cantankerous child of all), Libertarian comedy shows, brewing beer together, awesome God moments, and her favorite comic book hero.
