Krista is joined by former military intelligence analyst, Kevin Briggins to discuss the rapid rise of AI in modern warfare. We examine the technology through a biblical worldview, wrestling with Just War theory, the sanctity of human life, and whether governments should delegate the “sword” of Romans 13 to machines. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on faith, national defense, technological inevitability, and where we should draw the ethical line. #AIWarfare #AutonomousWeapons #AIinWar #JustWarTheory #BiblicalWorldview #ChristianEthics All The Things #232 Season 8, Episode 12

Conversation breakdown: ✅ Greeting and opening hymn ✅ I react to comments made by progressive podcasters about homeschooling being "trickle-down stupidity" ✅ Tribute to my dear friend, Dr. Sue Dykes ✅ Comparing the strategies of progressives vs conservatives in public spaces

In this eye-opening episode, Monique and Krista sit down with Dr. Markus Zehnder, author of The Bible and Immigration, for a nuanced, Scripture-centered conversation on one of today's most divisive issues. Dr. Zehnder unpacks the biblical distinctions between the Hebrew terms "ger" and the "nokri," exposing how modern discussions often cherry-pick verses, ignore context, and collapse categories. The discussion explores assimilation, love for the stranger, individual compassion versus state policy, and why mass immigration today differs dramatically from ancient Israel's low-volume, high-integration reality.

We sit down with Wes Fuller of End Abortion Now to introduce our pro-life audience to the growing abortion abolitionist movement. What exactly is abortion abolitionism, and how does it differ from the incremental pro-life strategies many of us have supported for years? Wes unpacks the biblical call for the abolition of abortion through equal protection under the law. #AbortionAbolitionism #EndAbortionNow #ProLife #EqualProtection #ChristianWorldview All The Things #230 Season 8, Episode 10

Krista and Monique sit down with Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, to explore the reality of the global persecuted church. They discuss the ministry's origins with Brother Andrew smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain 70 years ago, the biblical view of persecution, and why the church often advances most powerfully under pressure. Ryan shares sobering statistics and explains Open Doors' World Watch List, which ranks the 50 countries where believers experience the most hostility. The conversation dives deep into Nigeria (ranked #7) and challenges Western believers to move to action through prayer, solidarity, and practical support like providing Scriptures.

In part 2 of her teaching series on conspiracy theories, Krista dives deep into some of the reasons why discerning truth feels increasingly like navigating quicksand in our post-truth, post-trust world. Krista honestly explores how facts have become slippery, why fact-checkers and official narratives often eroded trust further (especially during the pandemic), and the very real human cost: fractured relationships. She acknowledges the confusion many Christians feel while pointing toward hope and the ultimate anchor in God's unchanging Word.

Monique and Krista are joined by Dr. Jacob Daniel and Dr. Joe Miller to discuss CFBU's brand new Los Angeles Statement on Race, Justice, and Unity. They unpack why this statement was written, how it differs from the 2018 Dallas Statement, and why the Church desperately needs biblical clarity on race, ethnicity, justice, and true unity in Christ. If you're tired of race being used to split the Body of Christ, this is the conversation you need to hear.

Sunday Night Potluck – In this unscripted livestream, I wrestle honestly with one of Jesus' most challenging commands: “Turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5 : 38-48). I explore the Old Testament background of “eye for an eye,” the surrounding context and how the early church understood this passage. I also confront the struggle to contextualize this verse in the modern context. How do we resist outrage culture and engage in the radical patience and forbearance that Jesus requires us to practice, even toward our enemies? In the final 30 minutes, I share my decades-long struggle to apply Matthew 5 to my own life.

In this first episode of the series “The TRUTH about Conspiracy Theories,” theologian Krista Bontrager explores what we even mean by the term “conspiracy theory,” traces its surprising history, and examines why these ideas feel so magnetically attractive, especially in a time when trust in institutions has been shattered. Drawing on her own journey, Krista calls Christians to pursue truth with open eyes and humble hearts rather than fear or pride.

Kevin joins Monique and Krista for an in depth discussion about Israel. We will also talk to Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit Ministries and author of Should Christians Support Israel? They will explain the biblical, historical, and cultural reasons for standing with Israel, while exposing the propaganda and misinformation fueling rising antisemitism—especially among Gen Z. Get Dr. Myers book: https://www.amazon.com/Should-Christians-Support-Israel-Impossible-ebook/dp/B0DH2TQBKN/ ATT#225 Season 8, Show 5

In this honest reflection, I share how I unknowingly carried feminist thinking into my 20s and 30s as a young mom, chasing seminary, academia, and a theology career while barely thinking about family. I open up about my regrets and the long-term cost of putting career over presence. This is a highlight from the 5/31/26 Sunday Night Potluck. #YoungMom #StayAtHomeMom #ChristianMotherhood #BiblicalWomanhood

Monique and Krista unpack "Childism," the emerging critical theory framework that views children as an oppressed class and traditional parenting as a form of adultism. They examine its strong influence on popular Gentle Parenting leaders like Sarah Ockwell-Smith and Dr. Becky Kennedy, and how it mirrors Critical Race Theory. Discover how this ideology is quietly shaping education, culture, and parenting—and learn how to respond with a distinctly biblical worldview that honors both the dignity of children and God-given parental responsibility. #Childism #Adultism #BiblicalParenting

I explore how the world of Christian apologetics has dramatically shifted from traditional conferences and vetted publishers to the age of YouTube influencers. I break down the two main types of apologists—researchers and educators. With nearly 30 years in the field, I discuss the pros and cons of this democratization and how I see myself as fitting into the giant trailer park of the apologetics world.

In this timely conversation, Brady Cone (founder of Calibrate Ministries) joins us to discuss the Side B approach to ministering to those who struggle with same sex attraction. Several major Christian institutions use the Side B approach to disciple college students, including Biola University and CRU. Brady draws from his own journey out of the LGBTQ life to explain what Side B actually teaches, how it differs from both Side A and biblical discipleship, and why labeling ourselves by our attractions undermines the full freedom the gospel provides. We explore the real-world impact of Side B on identity and one's walk with Christ. If you're walking this road yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this episode offers biblical clarity, compassion, and the lasting freedom found in Christ alone.

How does the Gospel of the Kingdom transform nations, not just individual hearts? I sit down with Rev. Dr. Joe Boot, founder of the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity and author of The Mission of God, to explore the public lordship of Christ over culture, law, politics, and nations. Dr. Boot unpacks why many Christians have settled for a small, privatized gospel and lays out a robust biblical vision for cultural renewal, sphere sovereignty, healthy Christian nationhood, and faithful public engagement in our time. Watch my previous discussion on Christian nationalism: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJsWhsJaEIk

Krista examines how the Founders took for granted a biblical moral framework. They never imagined our country would be overthrown by secularism or activist Muslims pushing for parallel societies that reject assimilation. Krista reads Dr. Albert Mohler's 2024 article, “What Is Missing from Our Constitutional Order?” and explores why the American experiment in religious liberty needs boundaries. Read the article: https://christoverall.com/article/concise/what-is-missing-from-our-constitutional-order-our-government-should-acknowledge-christianity

I share the latest developments since October 2025. And I explain why I remain cautiously optimistic about Biola's direction. I also respond to the recent Fox News article ranking Biola as the most conservative college in California and offer a direct plea to the administration so parents can confidently choose Biola again. Real change is happening—but there's still work to do.

In this important conversation, I sit down with Messianic Jewish scholar Dr. Golan Broshi to explore the revolutionary biblical roots of democracy and Western freedom. Discover how the Torah introduced groundbreaking ideas, that stood in stark contrast to the surrounding pagan nations and profoundly shaped the ideals of constitutional republics like America. This discussion defends the validity of the idea of a "Judeo-Christian" worldview and reveals why these ancient truths still matter for justice, freedom, and civilization today.

In this addendum to my "Classical Protestant View on Tradition" series, I tackle three of the biggest reasons many Protestants feel drawn to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. I share how I wrestled through these issues, and ultimately why they weren't enough to pull me away from a classical Protestant approach. Watch part 1 of this series: https://youtu.be/yZvzn565Aoc

In a world bombarding our kids with conflicting messages about identity, where does true identity come from? Is it based on feelings, performance, appearance, or politics? I sit down with Andrea Crum from Genuine Family Ministries to explore a biblical framework for identity. We discuss the importance of Christian parents discipling their children how to stand firm on God's unchanging truth instead of cultural chaos and build a faith that lasts. Andrea also shares exciting details about her new Worldview Prepared curriculum for teens. She has a big vision to equip the next generation with a robust biblical worldview against postmodern ideas. Learn more about Genuine Family Ministries & sign up for the Worldview Prepared informational webinar: https://genuinefamilyministries.com/

In Part 3 of this teaching series, I finish unpacking the 6 different definitions of "tradition" and explain what I see as the real fault line that separates classical Protestants from Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox understandings of tradition and Scripture. My goal isn't to attack, but to clarify. I have deep respect for the reverence Catholics and Orthodox show for the things of God. Yet after examining the evidence, I believe Protestantism stays closer to the apostolic faith once for all delivered to the saints.

In this special episode, I sit down with Kevin Briggins and former U.S. Army Ranger and war correspondent Chuck Holton to discuss the crisis facing young men today. Chuck shares his vision for The Frontier Forge, a hands-on summer leadership camp designed to get boys off screens, build real skills, practice servant leadership, and grow in biblical manhood.

Why does the evangelical church have so little influence on culture today? To get to that answer, we must understand the last 120 years of American Protestant history, back to the fundamentalist-modernist controversy of the late 1800s/early 1900s. In this powerful conversation on the Ideas Have Consequences podcast, Scott D. Allen and I walk you through the history that shaped modern evangelicalism. This is a call for renewal, not retreat or cultural accommodation. My hope is that leaders will return to a distinctly biblical approach to culture, education, justice, and discipleship. This is essential history for anyone who wants to understand progressive Christianity, deconstruction, and doctrinal drift in evangelical institutions. Learn how we got here and what it will take to chart a better way forward.

I continue my series on why I remain Protestant after over a decade of serious study and reflection on Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. I unpack four key definitions of "tradition" that I think fit within a Protestant framework. If you're wrestling with these questions or want clarity for family conversations, this is for you. God willing, part 3 will come out the following week. #Protestant #SolaScriptura #Tradition #Catholicism #EasternOrthodoxy #Theology #ChristianApologetics #BibleTeaching

One of the most common questions that I get these days is, What is the relationship between Scripture and tradition? This is often prompted by followers who are beginning to explore conversion to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy or have children who are. I am finally sharing my public answer to this question after a decade of study and dialogue. In this first teaching, I explain the problem and survey the major New Testament passages used by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists to make their case for tradition and to undermine the classical Protestant view of sola scriptura. #SolaScriptura #Tradition #Catholic #Orthodox #Protestant

Calendars quietly structure our lives and shape our priorities. In this episode, I explore an ancient, counter-cultural alternative to the secular rhythm of life: the historic Christian calendar. It calls us year after year to live deeply in the story of redemption. I'm excited to unpack this rich tradition with my friend, Fr Hayden Butler, a traditional Anglican priest. St. Matthew's Daily Offices podcast https://stmatthewsnewport.com/podcasts

In this powerful crossover episode from the Mama Bear Apologetics podcast, Amy Davison interviews public theologian, Krista Bontrager, on why theology must come before apologetics. Discover how building a solid foundation—through creeds, catechisms, Scripture, and everyday thinking about God—equips parents to disciple their children, avoid common pitfalls in hot-button issues, and raise kids with a fully orbed biblical worldview. Practical, accessible advice for "regular people" who want to think deeply about God without feeling overwhelmed. Theology isn't just for scholars—it's for moms, dads, and families standing firm in faith!

Dr. Linda Seiler shares her powerful testimony as a former transgender individual who felt trapped in the wrong body from childhood, battled same-sex attractions, and nearly transitioned. She recounts her extended journey of progressive sanctification, confession, inner healing, and surrender to Christ, in an effort to overcome gender dysphoria and embrace her God-given identity as a woman. Find out more about Dr. Seiler's book, Trans-Formation: https://www.amazon.com/Trans-Formation-Former-Transgender-Responds-LGBTQ-ebook/dp/B0CCWZ9S7Q

In this episode, Krista Bontrager interviews three ordinary moms who stepped up with basic apologetics training to equip families and defend the faith: Jen Beitel started a local family ministry (U.N.I.T.E.D.), Alicia Moss teaches women in her church on cultural issues, and Michelle Lazor curates wholesome, worldview-aligned books through her online book club, Mud Hen Mama. This is an inspiring look at how everyday believers—no PhDs required—are making a real difference for the Kingdom of God.

In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, Krista examines the "I" in DEI from a historic Christian perspective. She contrasts the widely agreeable "noble" definitions of inclusion and belonging with their real-world applications in workplaces and Christian institutions, highlighting unintended consequences, ideological conflicts with biblical teaching, and how DEI practices often infiltrate conservative Christian universities through a shifting of definitions. A thoughtful call for Christians to pursue biblical unity, hospitality, and impartial justice rather than secular social engineering.

Biola was founded in 1908 to fight theological modernism when mainline schools abandoned orthodoxy. Today, postmodernism—with its rejection of truth, deconstruction of Scripture, and embrace of critical theories—threatens historic Christianity the same way. Biola's founders had the courage to build an unapologetic outpost for biblical truth. Now it's Biola's turn to lead again. This is a call to courage. #BiolaUniversity #Postmodernism #ChristianCourage #TheologyMom #BiolaChronicles

Most Christians know Hanukkah as the “Jewish Christmas,” but Jesus actually celebrated it (John 10:22-23). Discover the real story behind the Festival of Dedication: the Maccabean revolt, the miracle of the oil, the stunning archaeological evidence, and how this feast of light points to Jesus, the Light of the World.

In this episode of The Biola Chronicles, Krista Bontrager (three-time Biola alumna and public theologian) reacts to Biola University President Dr. Barry Corey's recent interview with Sean McDowell and Scott Rae. Dr. Corey insists Biola remains biblically faithful… but does the evidence match the narrative? If you've wondering what's really happening at one of America's largest evangelical universities, this is a must-watch.

Most of us grew up with “getting saved” in one night: gospel presentation → raise your hand → pray the sinner's prayer → maybe get baptized later. But when you actually read Acts conversion looked very different. In this teaching we'll walk through the major conversion accounts in the book of Acts and then trace how the process evolved into the 1–3 year discipleship process practiced by the ancient church. If you've ever wondered: ✅ Should churches do same-day baptisms? ✅ Is the modern sinner's prayer biblical? ✅ What process could churches put in place to provide a wise on-ramp for new believers? …this teaching is for you. Part of the Everyday Evangelism teaching series.

Special update: I share the latest developments at Biola University after the recent gender policy changes. I also react to Thaddeus Williams' latest video and Megan Basham's reporting. Toward the end, I explain the major shift in my view after realizing why Biola still employs staff and faculty across a wide spectrum of views, including those who are sympathetic to social justice, liberation theology, and DEI. This is the information that prospective parents, donors, and alumni need to know. PROGRAMMING NOTE: I had originally uploaded a slightly different version of this video. I am reuploading it (24 hours later) with a new, slightly modified ending. I feel like this ending is more clear to what I was aiming to get at.

In this powerful special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, I sit down with Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa, founder of New Wave Feminists for a rare, honest conversation across ideological divides. We discuss abortion, human dignity from womb to tomb, Trump, IVF, the border crisis, and why both believe real change happens through relationships, not politics. Respectful, surprising and some common ground you might not expect.

At 15, I was a lonely, fatherless freshman drowning in depression. I had braces, curly hair, and zero friends. But two ordinary Christians noticed me—and my life changed forever. In this emotional episode, I reunite with two old friends and talk about how God used them in my life. Thirty years later, we laugh, cry, and marvel at how God used two regular women to help pull a broken girl out of the pit and into purpose. If you've ever wondered if your small act of kindness matters, this one's for you. You don't need a platform. You just need to notice the lonely person on the bench. One conversation, one prayer, one nudge from the Holy Spirit can alter someone's eternity. #ChristianTestimony #TheologyMom #RedemptionStory #HighSchoolFaith

In this powerful 2-hour conversation, I talk to Christian counselor, Andrew Rodriguez (@psychobible). We expose the critical gap between doctrine and practice at Christian institutions — using Biola University as a real-world case study. Includes a discussion about Rosemead Psychology's stance on “conversion therapy.”

Can you share the gospel clearly in under 5 minutes? You don't need to be a pastor, theologian, or famous speaker to do it. I'm returning to finish up my 2024 teaching series on evangelism series. In this episode, I share real-life gospel presentations from 5 everyday believers — including a homeschool mom, a pastor, a politician, and more. Watch as they share the good news in 90 seconds to 5 minutes, using simple, memorable methods. Each presentation is practical, repeatable, and designed for real conversations — with waitresses, scientists, strangers, or friends. You'll also learn: • Why repentance is the missing piece in most gospel talks • How anyone can turn any moment into a Jesus conversation • How to train your kids, church, or small group to share the gospel confidently Inspired by evangelism pioneers like Dr. Hugh Ross, this episode will equip and ignite you to fulfill the Great Commission — starting today. Your next step: Pick one presentation, practice it this week, and watch God open doors.

In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, I explain why religious neutrality in the public square is impossible. I also expose Islam's 3-stage jihad plan to colonize America—and share EXACTLY what Christians must do NOW to save our Christian nation. This is your wake-up call. Resources:

Four conservative Biola profs (Sean McDowell, Thaddeus Williams, Fred Sanders, Erik Thoennes) respond to the recent "drama" surrounding the questions Alisa Childers, Monique Duson and I have been raising.

Ask Us Anything | Season 7 Finale | 10/18/25 | ATT#221 by Krista Bontrager

I shine a light on the escalating persecution of Christians in Northern Nigeria, where over 100,000 have been killed and 18,000 churches burned since 2009. I reflect on the lack of mainstream attention to this crisis, highlighted by even atheist commentator Bill Maher addressing the issue. Learn about the challenges faced by Christians living under Sharia law, the role of groups like Boko Haram, and how you can stay informed through resources like Open Doors Ministries.
