In today's limited episode, David uses a fundraising letter from a national Christian public policy and political advocacy organization to help us consider whether its proposed work toward stopping the rise of socialism will be fruitful or unfruitful.

If Revelation is largely concerned with first-century events, why was it addressed to seven churches in Asia Minor instead of Jerusalem? This episode explores why Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea were not random congregations, but strategically placed churches living at the center of Roman power, emperor worship, military roads, trade routes, political chaos, and rumors surrounding Nero’s death. By placing Revelation in its first-century context, we see why the book spoke directly to believers facing imperial pressure and why its message remains clear: empires rise and fall, but history belongs to Christ.

On this week's episode of The Sentinel Report: President Trump just delivered a fiery address at the United Nations, declaring there will be “no global government” and “no global taxes” while he is president. He blasted the International Criminal Court, mass migration, UNESCO, and efforts to impose global control over artificial intelligence. Trump also issued a stark warning to Iran and predicted the eventual collapse of Cuba’s communist regime. We break down what he said—and why it matters. Then, fresh from his UN address, Trump signed a major new Greenland agreement with Denmark and Greenland. As the strategically vital Arctic territory remains at the center of geopolitical maneuvering, new data are raising questions about the conventional climate narrative surrounding its massive ice sheet. Also ahead: Why does the federal liability shield for COVID vaccine manufacturers remain in place? Disturbing new research from Finland examines psychiatric outcomes among young people who underwent medical gender reassignment. And the Netherlands has reported the first euthanasia of a child under its expanded rules covering children between the ages of one and twelve. We dig into all of it. Plus, two fascinating guests join the program. Lauren Witzke of Noah’s Ark Scans joins us as scientists, researchers, and documentary crews investigate what some believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark. What are they finding—and could modern technology finally help answer one of archaeology’s most enduring biblical mysteries? Then, longtime liberty movement leader Lawrence W. Reed joins us to discuss his new book, *Born of Ideas: How Principles, Faith, and Courage Forged America*. Reed argues that before the American Revolution became a revolution in government, it was a revolution of ideas—rooted in principle, faith, and moral courage. We explore the forgotten men and women who helped make American liberty possible, and what their example can teach Americans today.

How can Christians cultivate genuine gratitude in everyday life? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explains why thankfulness is more than good manners—it is a matter of the heart and an expression of love for God. Drawing from Romans 1, James 1, 1 Corinthians 4, Luke 17, Psalm 92, 1 Thessalonians 5, Romans 8, and other passages, Cory examines the spiritual danger of ingratitude, how complaining grows when we lose sight of God’s grace, and why every good gift should lead us back to the Giver. Cory also offers a practical seven-day gratitude challenge: recognize specific blessings, turn complaints into prayers, thank others openly, practice generosity, and learn to give thanks even in suffering.

In this episode, the Pugs welcome back Dr. Natalie Atwell to discuss her new book, Humanity Under Siege. After more than twenty years as a licensed clinical mental health therapist, Dr. Atwell noticed that the cases were becoming stranger. This led her on a quest to figure out why, and she concluded that there was a spiritual dimension that counseling had largely ignored. She then worked on diagnostic tools that could determine whether “other influences” were causing mental health problems in patients. This book is the result. The Pugs have an engaging conversation with her about her work and a range of related topics surrounding the spiritual dimensions of mental health therapy.

Our two big China training events are complete, but I’m already back on the road in Macau. Today’s show (besides the intro/outro) is a mashup of a couple previous episodes about Macau, the Las Vegas of Asia, where I am ministering this weekend.

Should Steve Lawson return to public ministry? In this episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry responds to the release of Lawson’s Mercy in the Wilderness and the debate surrounding forgiveness, restoration, and qualification for ministry following his public moral failure. Richard examines the distinction between forgiveness and restored trust, the biblical qualifications for Christian leaders, the consequences of long-term deception, and whether repentance necessarily means restoration to public teaching. This is a discussion about grace, accountability, pastoral qualification, repentance, and the seriousness of sin among Christian leaders.

What is a nation—and why does that question matter for Christians, missions, and the Great Commission? In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman responds to the “Which Way America?” debate featuring Al Mohler, Doug Wilson, Joe Rigney, and Paul Miller. Before Christians debate what a nation should do, Alex argues, we first need to define what a nation actually is. Drawing from Genesis 10, Matthew 28, Acts 17, Revelation, Psalm 2, and the history of Christian missions, Alex examines the biblical concept of nations and the roles of land, lineage, language, law, liturgy, and culture. What does Scripture mean by “the nations”? And how should that shape Christian thinking about nationhood, missions, ordered loves, and the lordship of Christ?

Should the United States Constitution explicitly acknowledge the triune God of the Christian faith? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird discuss the history, theology, and political implications of a Christian constitutional amendment. They examine recent debates surrounding Al Mohler, Baptist and Presbyterian responses, the historical support of figures like Charles Hodge and old Princeton, the post-Civil War push for a “God amendment,” and the later Supreme Court shifts that changed how religion and government were understood in America. This episode explores whether nations should publicly recognize Christ as Lord, what religious liberty originally meant, and why Christians should think carefully about what is morally good, politically possible, and historically rooted.

It has taken 30 years for the Holy Spirit to begin to work out in David what he thinks it means to have "gospel fruitfulness" in the sphere of law and politics. Today’s episode provides the scriptural foundation for what kind of "labors" he thinks will lead to that fruitfulness, regardless of the sphere of labor to which one is called. It re-sculptured his Christian political imagination beyond what he had once asked or thought possible. Listen to find out why.

Politics seems to reach into every part of life, even as trust in government continues to erode. How should Christians respond without retreating from public life or expecting politics to solve everything? On this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright speaks with Ezra fellow Professor Zane Richer about the crisis in modern political thought. They examine the false choices Christians are often asked to make, the proper role of government, and why Scripture must shape the questions we ask as well as the answers we give. Their conversation offers a call to patient, faithful work: raising families, strengthening churches, developing Christian political thought, and building institutions that can serve future generations.

On this 101st episode of the Prison Pulpit, Andrew and I have a discussion about the ethics of deception in missions and other war-time scenarios, and then I give some real-time examples from our ongoing Chinese conferences.

Are Flock cameras about public safety—or are they another step toward mass surveillance and a low-trust society? Richard Henry examines the rise of AI-powered license plate readers, government surveillance, privacy concerns, and the erosion of civil liberties. But the issue goes deeper. Richard considers what Scripture says about knowledge, authority, human sin, and God’s omniscience—and why a society cannot surveil its way out of moral decay.

Why does the book of Daniel remain one of the most debated books of biblical prophecy? In this newly recorded introduction to his series on Daniel, Jay Rogers lays the foundation for understanding Daniel’s prophecies from a preterist perspective. He explains the background behind his studies, how his work in Revelation and Matthew 24 shaped his approach, and why getting the historical context right is essential for interpreting Daniel. Some of Daniel’s prophecies are remarkably clear. Others have produced centuries of disagreement. Throughout this series, Jay will examine both—working through the text, historical setting, competing interpretations, and the principles we should use when approaching biblical prophecy. Before tackling the difficult passages, we begin with the foundation: What can we know with confidence, where does the controversy begin, and how do Daniel’s visions fit together?

President Donald Trump is touting a historic new Greenland security agreement that he says gives the United States permanent control over security on the strategically vital Arctic island. What does the deal actually do — and what could it mean for Russia, China and the future of U.S. membership in NATO? Meanwhile, Canada is moving closer to the European Union after being invited to become the bloc’s first-ever “associate member,” with plans for deeper cooperation involving defense, energy, technology, artificial intelligence and critical minerals. We dive into the consequences surrounding the proposal. Also on today’s Sentinel Report: A Pentagon watchdog report details significant U.S. military losses from Iranian attacks; Washington imposes new visa restrictions on South African officials amid allegations involving land seizures, racial discrimination and violence; and newly declassified FBI notes raise fresh questions surrounding the prosecution of former National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn. PLUS — two major interviews: Tanya Gaw, founder of Action4Canada, joins Alex Newman to discuss Canadian law enforcement showing up at her home to investigate alleged online “hate speech.” Pastor Paul Begley and investigative journalist Troy Anderson discuss their explosive new book, Trump vs. the Beast, examining artificial intelligence, technocracy, global government, biblical prophecy, and how Donald Trump fits in. All this and more on today’s episode of The Sentinel Report with Alex Newman.

What role does God’s law play in the Christian life? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explains why Christians must reject both legalism and antinomianism. Drawing from Scripture and the Westminster Standards, Cory shows that God’s law cannot save sinners, justify believers, or produce righteousness. Only Christ can save. But for those saved by grace through faith, God’s law becomes a gracious guide for obedience, sanctification, holiness, justice, and love for God and neighbor.

This week’s podcast looks at the important book by Tobias Rose-Stockwell: Outrage Machine: how tech amplifies discontent, disrupts democracy, and what we can do about it. The pugs engaged the book, recognizing that the author is correct to note how social media and contemporary technology serve as environments of spiritual and moral formation. But what is being formed is something that actually makes worse the passions, such as an anger, rather than fosters virtue. This is where classic Christian moral psychology and spiritual formation become key ingredients in a proper solution to the vice producing machine. The pugs also engage the question of how a concern for solidarity first prior to any concern for democracy is key to a Christian spiritual formation.

What does the Bible mean by “holy war”—and what does it look like under the reign of Christ?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour walks through Zechariah 9 and its prophecy of the Messiah who comes lowly, riding on a donkey, speaking peace to the nations, and ruling from sea to sea.From bows, arrows, swords, and battle to Ephesians 6 and the sword of the Spirit, George shows how the warfare of Christ’s kingdom is carried forward through the Word of God, prayer, truth, righteousness, faith, and the proclamation of the gospel to the nations.

Due to our ongoing China conferences, I am unable to record a new podcast this week. What follows is a lightly edited show from 2024, that focuses primarily on Guangxi, the province where the grandfather of my current travel partner, Dan Bausum, lived and served. We're going to be sharing some of the stories from today's podcast with the Chinese leaders this coming week. They love to hear the stories of the missionaries who first brought the Gospel to China! Donate to help cover the expenses for these Chinese pastors/leaders/missionaries: MCI3.org (or contact me for more info)! On today's podcast I discuss some of the latest rule changes for tourist visits to China. Then I talk in depth about Guangxi, including my first and only visit to the karst mountains of Guilin (2018), concluding with fascinating stories from the missionaries and martyrs who served in Guangxi before, including my friend’s grandfather.

Can you truly love Christ while remaining indifferent toward His church? In this final message through the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Brian Gunter examines Matthew 25 and Jesus’ separation of the sheep and the goats. Christ identifies Himself with His people so closely that how they are treated is counted as treatment of Christ Himself. What does this passage reveal about genuine faith? What separates the sheep from the goats? And what does Jesus’ warning mean for Christians who claim to love Him while neglecting His church? Drawing from Matthew 24–25, Acts 9, and the broader testimony of Scripture, Brian challenges church apathy, nominal Christianity, and division while calling believers to love, serve, and faithfully care for the body of Christ. Matthew 25 brings the Olivet Discourse to its climactic picture of judgment and separation.

We start with the kind of childhood where entertainment meant going outside and finding out what could hurt us. We remember trampolines, lizard catching, dirt piles, snowball fights, snow forts, King of the Hill, and the roughhousing that occasionally produced injuries but somehow failed to produce a formal investigation. Parenting and grandparenting give us a different view of the same activities, especially now that we’re the people responsible for keeping the children alive. From there, we get into animals, crawfish mounds in yards, and the lessons kids pick up from being around nature. We talk about childhood toys and the things we once considered valuable, along with feeding animals and the encounters that made the outdoors its own education. Then we take everything we learned about sharing space as children and apply it to adults, which is where the system begins to break down. Traffic, parking, music in public, motorcycles, noise, approachability, and cultural differences all raise the same question: how much of public behavior is governed by actual rules, and how much depends on everybody choosing to not be jerks? By the end, we’re comparing the social cues of adulthood with the much simpler negotiations of childhood, when a dirt pile, or a snow fort could settle the agenda. After jumping on trampolines we traded King of the Hill for a much more complicated game with no clearly marked hill.

What makes people surrender themselves to a mass movement—and why are periods of cultural instability especially fertile ground for them? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by Cory Wing to examine Eric Hoffer’s The True Believer, Harold Brown’s work on sensate culture, and the Christian response to revolutionary movements, social unrest, and ideological fanaticism. They discuss disaffected young men, family breakdown, the search for identity and meaning, and why Christianity offers something fundamentally different from utopian political movements. How should Christians recognize the forces shaping our cultural moment without being captured by them?

The Puritans are often caricatured as grim, joyless and disconnected from modern life. In reality, they offered a rich and deeply practical vision of the Christian faith—one that applied the lordship of Christ to the heart, the home, the church, our work and the wider culture. Nate Wright is joined by Ezra Institute Fellow Jacob Tanner to explore what Christians today can learn from figures such as John Owen, John Bunyan, William Perkins, Richard Sibbes, Jeremiah Burroughs and Samuel Rutherford. They discuss the mortification of sin, joyful contentment, faithful pastoral ministry, resistance to tyranny, the Christian’s vocation and the Puritan hope for the transformation of society through the gospel.

What if Revelation’s beast with the fatal wound was not a prediction of a future global apocalypse, but a powerful image rooted in the chaos of first-century Rome? This episode examines Nero’s death, the Year of the Four Emperors, the terrifying Nero Redivivus legend, and Vespasian’s rise to power. By comparing Revelation’s imagery with the near-collapse and dramatic recovery of the Roman Empire, it presents a historically grounded case that the beast’s “deadly wound” and healing were realities the original audience would have immediately understood.

In this episode of Richard Reacts, Richard Henry is joined by Tanner Cartwright to discuss the verdict, the public response, and the biblical principles at stake. They address the command “You shall not murder,” the insanity defense, personal accountability, the influence of modern feminism, the devaluing of children through abortion, the created differences between men and women, and why biblical justice must not be replaced by sentimental excuses. This episode is a sobering call to recover moral clarity, protect children, uphold justice, and return to God’s design for men, women, families, and society.

Today David provides what he calls “gospel grounds” upon which he believes the imagination of Christians - their vision - for legal and public policy advocacy might be expanded beyond doing politics the way the world does but only better because “we believe in Jesus!” You won’t want to miss what’s in his modernized version of a chapter in John Owen’s Meditations and Discourses on the Glory of Christ about a particular glory in Christ. It may begin to reshape your vision for politics and law even as it did his a few years ago.

Why does God allow Christians to suffer? How should believers respond when suffering comes through sickness, loss, persecution, broken relationships, or the ordinary pain of life in a fallen world? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing walks through what Scripture teaches about suffering, God’s sovereignty, persecution, and the presence of Christ in the valley.Looking at Genesis 3, Romans 8, Joseph, the cross of Christ, Psalm 23, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Stephen, Polycarp, and the persecuted church throughout history, Cory reminds believers that suffering is not evidence that God has abandoned His people.Instead, Christians can endure because Christ is present with them, sovereign over their suffering, and preparing them for eternal glory.

Is Christianity only about personal salvation—or is the gospel meant to transform the world? In this episode of The Based Boomer Podcast, Mike D’Virgilio challenges the idea that Christianity should remain a private faith concerned only with individual salvation and personal holiness. Drawing from Scripture, Mike argues that Christ’s reign has implications for every area of life—and that Christians should expect the gospel to bear fruit in families, churches, cultures, and nations. From Colossians 2 and Psalm 110 to 1 Corinthians 15 and the Great Commission, Mike lays out a biblical vision of Christ’s advancing kingdom and explains why Christians have every reason to labor with confidence rather than retreat in defeat. The gospel was never meant to stay private. Christ is King, the Great Commission is still our mission, and Christians should live with great expectations for what God will accomplish in the world.

Hey, Neighbor! This is just a little message from The Peaches to explain why the men are missing. Collin turned 13 this week, which is kind of a big deal around here.

In this episode, Glenn leads off the discussion by citing recent claims by scientists that we need to reduce global population by more than half by 2200 for the sake of the planet. The guys note the failed predictions of Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book The Population Bomb that have led to disastrous things like China’s one child policy and constant calls for reducing population even as we’re facing a birth dearth. They also bring in other failed predictions of imminent ecological disaster and note the importance of human creativity in solving problems, such as reducing the rate of severe poverty despite dramatically increasing population since Ehrlich’s book.

In honor of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk, I’m re-sharing a lightly edited version of the episode from this time last year when I let him "take the mike", as he discussed many of his thoughts on China in detail on his own show just a week before he was killed. After a lengthier-than-expected introduction, we work through Kirk’s China takes one by one, commenting along the way. It's obvious that Charlie understood China much better than most. I learned a few things myself, especially from the second-to-last clip. Note: Don’t miss the Man Rampant intro/outro, and the final sad segment!
