Segment 1 • A coalition of liberal theologians claims democracy is collapsing and urges Christians to “resist”. • Todd unpacks the irony of condemning “Christian nationalism” while using faith to pressure government policy. • The emotional language sounds righteous on the surface—but once you slow it down, does it actually hold up? Segment 2 • “Every person bears God's image”—but does that automatically determine public policy? • Todd challenges the logic of using biblical truths to justify specific political outcomes without defining terms. • A powerful persuasion tactic is exposed: overwhelm your opponent so disagreement makes you look cruel. Segment 3 • A prominent conservative Baptist leader converts to Roman Catholicism—how does someone go from “grace alone” to a works-based system? • The deep psychological pull of tradition, history, and apostolic lineage. • Why parents must ground their children in the doctrine of the true, invisible Church before someone else defines their heritage for them. Segment 4 • A growing number of Christians now trust AI for spiritual advice more than their pastors. • Todd explains why AI doesn't give you truth—it often gives you what you want to hear. • Massive layoffs, sermon prep shortcuts, and the quiet erosion of pastoral authority—are we outsourcing discernment? ___ Thanks for listening!

Sunday Morning WorshipWhen Failure Meets Faithfulness- 2 Samuel 11-12:25Reagan FarrisMarch 1, 2026Notes | https://calvarydothan.com/wp-content/uploads/2026_03_01_1.pdf

How you respond to Jesus matters. Is He the Cornerstone upon which your life is built or the Rock of offense you reject as irrelevant. If He’s the Cornerstone He will be for you an eternal refuge. If not, the Rock you’ve rejected will rise up on the last day as your judge. Won’t you come?

This week, Pastor John continued our Established sermon series with a message from 1 Samuel 8–13, emphasizing how impatience can lead us to compromise. He challenged us to resist fear and pride, choosing instead to trust God's timing by walking in faith, because the decisions we make in moments can shape the course of our lives.

John 17:6-19. From the "Gospel of John - Part II" sermon series. Preached by Stephen Baker. Scripture at the beginning read by Carver Talcott.

The final witness of John the Baptist points unmistakably to the supremacy of Christ. Centered on John 3:31–36, this message from the Gospel of John reveals the authority of the One who comes from heaven and the life found in believing Him—while warning of the weight of rejecting His testimony. A powerful conclusion to the Baptist's faithful witness.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

In this special "SBC Weekly Roundup" edition of the CBL Podcast, William Wolfe and Jon Whitehead unpack breaking news within the Southern Baptist Convention, including the Executive Committee's new $186M Cooperative Program budget and ongoing financial strain on the EC. They discuss the disfellowshipping of two churches over female pastors and broader concerns about egalitarianism. A major focus is the McRaney v. NAMB case and the Supreme Court's denial of review, which Whitehead argues reshapes Baptist polity and weakens ordinary Baptists' civil recourse against defamation.

It's a helpful principle for sorting out unity and debate. But how exactly does theological triage work? In this episode of the FTC Podcast, Jared Wilson and Ronni Kurtz discuss the relative importance of first order, second order, and third order doctrines, and how the application of theological triage can help us with Christian charity and kindness.

In 1948, the modern State of Israel was established—an event that triggered the fulfillment of several key Bible prophecies and reshaped world history. But how much do we truly understand about Israel, Palestine, and the biblical truths surrounding them? In this episode, we open God's Word for clear, scriptural insight on a topic often clouded by misinformation.Today's digital world has been called one of the greatest “web con jobs” in history, and many believers have unknowingly absorbed distorted ideas about culture, politics, and prophecy. But the Lord reminds us that “man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.” If we want discernment, we must return to Scripture—not to scholars who deny its inspiration and authority.We also discuss how modern culture often flaunts a lack of wisdom and spiritual understanding. From public displays of broken homes to the glorifying of sinful lifestyles, America is broadcasting confusion to the world. Yet Jesus warned, “Take heed that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”Join us as we seek biblical clarity on Israel, discernment in a deceptive age, and a deeper understanding of what God sees—and what He expects—from His people today.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

The great prayer warrior George Mueller said, "To learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings." Pastor Ray shares a new message from his series,  Lessons For Life... From Heroes of the Faith.

Chapel | February 24th, February | Mike McDaniel | Be A Joshua | Joshua 4:1-14

In the conclusion of his sermon in Luke 6, Christ's attention shifts from how we treat outsiders, to how we treat one another within God's Kingdom as he calls his people to put down their gavel, show mercy to others and treasure HIS word in their heart! When the storms of life hit, will your faith stand, or will it collapse and reveal an unstable foundation that is powerless to save you?

Where do our doctors, lawyers, teachers, and politicians come from—and what shaped the way they think? In today's episode, we take a closer look at the education, worldview, and influences forming the leaders of our nation. Across the world, including in 21 Arab nations with millions who follow a religion calling for the destruction of Israel, worldviews matter—and they shape destinies.But more importantly, we turn to the one source of true power, promises, and purity: the Word of God. If the Bible a believer holds has been “corrected” or rewritten by scholars who don't believe in its inspiration, then how can it equip us with the power of God to resist the devil?We also look at the concerning trend within Christian schools and colleges, where the student culture often mirrors that of secular campuses. Has discernment faded? Do we truly understand the enemy's strategy? Scripture warns us: “Take heed that the light which is in thee be not darkness.”In this episode, we explore the urgent need for biblical clarity, spiritual discernment, and a return to the authoritative Word of God. If your life feels unstable or corrupt, you're facing problems that only God's truth can correct.Join us as we seek wisdom for these confusing times—and a renewed commitment to walk in the light.The Voice in the Wilderness does not endorse any link or other material found at buzzsprout.More at https://www.thevoiceinthewilderness.org/

Jesus asked His disciples the most crucial question anyone will ever face: Who do you say that I am? At Caesarea Philippi, surrounded by temples to false gods, Peter gave the perfect answer: You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. This wasn't just human wisdom but divine revelation. Your answer to this question determines your eternal destiny and transforms how you live. Many people acknowledge Jesus existed or admire His teachings, but Christ requires allegiance, not just acknowledgment. The church is built on this foundational truth, and neither death nor hell can prevail against it.

Church buildings don't just house Christians—they are built to facilitate so much more—each building quietly tells a story about what your church values. Long before a word is preached, the space itself establishes the way in which people will engage—how people understand authority, worship, and the mission. For each denomination, and each tradition the building guides believers to better understand their theology in different ways. From persecuted Anabaptists meeting in homes and fields, to simple Baptist meetinghouses in the New World, to revival-era preaching spaces, suburban church complexes, and today's eclectic mix of megachurches, old buildings and minimalist spaces—by examining what Baptists have built—we ask a foundational question for today: what do our meeting spaces say about what we believe, prioritize and whether our buildings still serve the mission they were meant to support?In today's episode of the Postscript, I'm joined by Dr. David Bains, professor at Howard College of Arts and Sciences at Samford University. Dr. Bains teaches courses that examine the interaction between theology, culture and religious life. His research has appeared in over a dozen books and journals. Today we hope that Dr. Bains will help us better understand the correlation between the historic Baptist mission and the buildings in which they met.For more information, please follow the link to read the notes for Ep. 260Visit https://magiccityreligion.org/spaces-for-worship/varieties/classic-auditorium/combination/ to see a recent project of Dr. Bains.Visit http://lfbi.org/learnmore 

In Luke chapter 10, the Lord appointed seventy disciples and sent them ahead of Him into the places He would soon visit. We don't know their names, and Scripture is mostly silent about what became of them afterward, but the lessons from their mission are clear and searching. In this episode of Words of Grace, … Continue reading "Lessons from the Seventy"

As Matthew’s Gospel takes a dramatic turn, Jesus goes public with His identity as the Messiah–the promised King. As He does, we see that He is a King who both humbly lays down His life and boldly opposes sinful hypocrisy. Along the way, He also graciously invites our expectant prayers.

 Exodus 20:16, Matthew 5:33-37Senior Pastor, Clint PressleySunday, February 22, 2026

Conversion to Christ comes with the call to participate with the church as an instrument for his glory. In the conversion and commission of Saul our vision of Christ is elevated, our affection for Christ is deepened, and our resolve to live for Christ's glory is strengthened. May it be said of Grace Community Church that Christ is glorified among us. Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.

"Williams had been convinced for some time from Scripture that the church was to consist of regenerate members only. He shared this view with many of the Puritan and Separatist ministers in England and New England. But he pushed this to its logical and Biblical conclusion and applied the principle without compromise. And this is where the Baptist teaching began to convince him. If the church was to be made up of believing saints, then they alone had a right to baptism. And if the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches were corrupt and not true churches, then their baptism was invalid. If their worship was false, so must their baptism be. And so he embraced believer's baptism."For more information, visit CBTSeminary.org

This week, Pastor John continued our sermon series Established with a message from 1 Samuel 6-8. Through the text, he challenged us to move from casual faith to wholehearted surrender, reminding us that true establishment begins with repentant hearts before God. No one can stand against the Lord, our one and true King.

Treasures and Trust | All In In Treasures and Trust, we look at Exodus 35 and Matthew 6 to understand why God calls His people to give. Giving is not about funding a project. It is about surrendering control, declaring trust, and investing in what lasts beyond this life. This message challenges listeners to examine their priorities, reconsider their affections, and take a step toward faithful kingdom generosity. Key Insight: Generosity is not about God needing resources. It is about shaping our trust. Tithing is a starting point that trains the heart to put God first. What we prioritize financially reveals what we truly worship. Faith grows when we step beyond comfort and choose obedience. Investing in God's kingdom has eternal impact beyond temporary possessions.
