Podcast appearances and mentions of Christian Identity

A recent religious designation change by the Pentagon has reignited a nearly 200-year-old debate: Is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints a Christian denomination? The AP's Lisa Dwyer reports.

Rethink Mission is a historically grounded podcast hosted by Dr. Mike Brown that reexamines early Christianity by beginning with lived communities, shared memory, and received tradition rather than later institutions or isolated texts. Focusing on what the series calls primitive Christian mission, the podcast challenges popular skeptical narratives that portray Christianity as a late textual invention or a belief system fabricated through copying and doctrinal manipulation. Drawing on early Christian writings, archaeological evidence, and historical method, the series argues that Christian belief and worship preceded the New Testament texts and that these writings functioned as occasional documents addressing real communities that already shared a coherent faith. Episodes explore the role of communal memory, apostolic authority, early creeds, and high Christology, showing that core Christian convictions—such as the worship of Jesus as Lord, belief in the resurrection, and continuity with Jewish Scripture—were established very early and received rather than invented by figures like Paul. By integrating theology, history, and philosophy, Rethink Mission offers listeners a disciplined alternative to both naïve faith and reductionist skepticism, inviting a deeper understanding of how Christianity emerged, spread, and sustained itself in the ancient world. Episode 19: Christian Identity

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode, we continue our trip to Bundyville with a look at season two, The Remnant. In this review, I cover the topic of Christian Identity; a "theological" movement rooted in racism. Here I explain some of the justifications for a race driven Christianity that ultimately amounts to glorifying a non-Jewish Jesus through being White.

Christian Identity, Citizens of two Kingdoms - Themes - Peter Baker - 10 May 2026 by Lansdowne Church

Pastor Jim explores the “belt of truth” from the armor of God and explains how truth is essential for standing firm against the lies and schemes of the enemy. He emphasizes that truth is not merely information to learn, but a person to know in Jesus Christ, who reveals both the character of God and humanity's true identity. Contrasting the “father of lies” with the “Father of lights,” the sermon highlights how deception about God and ourselves leads to brokenness, while the truth of the gospel brings life, forgiveness, and freedom. Pastor Jim encourages believers to remain rooted in Scripture, gospel community, prayer, and daily obedience so they can recognize lies, apply truth in everyday decisions, and confidently stand firm in Christ's victory.

Deep in the Ozarks, outside a tiny Arkansas town, a group of white nationalists believe they've found a legal loophole to resurrect segregation in America. They call it Return to the Land — a “traditionalist” community built around shared values, shared land… and shared race. Will they be shut down? Or will the be allowed to have, essentially, a new Sundown town?  For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

"Resurrection Impacts My Identity"Romans 6No More Fear - Living Life with a Living SaviorFear often takes root in our identity—questions like Am I accepted? Do I matter? Am I truly loved? In this message, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus speaks directly into those fears by redefining who we are.Through Romans 6, we see that believers are united with Christ in His death and resurrection. This means we are no longer slaves to sin but are now alive to God with a new identity. These truths aren't just meant to be understood—they're meant to be lived.Because Jesus is alive, your identity is secure… and fear no longer has to define you.

In today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm sharing my thoughts on a range of current events, along with answering a few listener questions.We'll be discussing recent developments and conversations surrounding Donald Trump, the ongoing discussions around the Epstein files, and a widely talked-about moment involving Pete Hegseth and his public citation of a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction. CRINGE.I also take time to talk about something deeper than headlines: the importance of both men and women returning to a biblical worldview, embracing truth, and honoring God-ordained gender roles in a culture that often blurs or rejects them entirely.--https://www.bible.com/

Text: Esther 5:1-14Esther is perhaps the most unique and controversial books in all of the Bible. It's one of only two books named after women. It is full of moral failure, ambiguity, and less-than-savory heroes. And it never mentions the name of God once. Yet it is an important book that tells an important piece of God's redemptive history. Join us for this series as we dive into this popular and provocative book and learn about God' work in our lives (and Esther's) – even when it's not always evident on the surface.Come visit us in person!

Many of the battles we face start with the lies we believe about ourselves. In this message, we look at Gideon's story and uncover how fear, pain, insecurity, and past wounds can shape identity in unhealthy ways. This sermon reminds us that God does not call us according to our weakness, but according to the purpose, courage, and calling He has placed within us. As we reject false labels and place our identity in Christ, we can live in freedom, healing, and bold faith.Click here to view the episode transcript.

Class #15 in our BOLD Course on Christian Discipling & Biblical Counseling. Adapted from Capitol Hill Baptist Church's Core Seminar on Christian Discipling: https://www.capitolhillbaptist.org/sermon/week-3-christian-identity Description from SermonAudio: This class centers on the biblical foundation of Christian identity. It holds that true self-understanding comes not from performance, relationships, labels, or self-perception, but from God's Word, being defined through the lens of creation, fall, and redemption. It emphasizes that identity is shaped by what we ultimately trust—whether the world's opinions, achievements, psychology, or God's truth—and warns that when competing influences become authoritative, they distort our sense of worth and purpose. The lesson draws from Paul's testimony in Philippians of transformation and radical reorientation from self-righteousness to Christian identity; it also calls believers to reject all earthly foundations and embrace the truth that they are image-bearers of God, once fallen in sin, but now redeemed in Christ. Practical application involves guiding others to shift conversations from experiential concerns to theological reflection, helping them discern what truly governs their hearts and reorient their lives around the unchanging truth of Scripture. Ultimately, the class affirms that identity is not discovered in self-analysis but is revealed in Christ, where dignity, purpose, and direction are found in relationship with God.

To kick off Season 5 of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain speaks with prominent British Muslim thinker, speaker and YouTuber Paul Williams of Blogging Theology. Topics of discussion include: The rise of Christian nationalism in Britain and the West. Was Christianity “spread by the sword”? European Christian colonialism vs Islamic expansionism. Do Christians have a sharia? If not, why not? If so, what does it look like? When was it last implemented? The Christian Reformation, the Enlightenment, and the separation of church and state (Matthew 22:21). Is the current rise of the far-right, Christian nationalism, and crusader rhetoric merely a phase? Is Britain a Christian country? The Scofield Bible and Christian Zionism. The misguidance of Christians.

Jesus calls you the salt of the earth and the light of the world — not someday, but right now. In this episode, we sit with Matthew 5:13–16 and explore what it means to live from that identity rather than just admire it.

This week, Jeremy and Alex had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Michael Wagner on the subject of Canada's Christian heritage and identity, along with a number of policies which have actively undermined that identity. Many Canadians, including Christians, fail to grasp just how pervasive Christianity's influence has been on Canada's values, laws, and moral imagination. Even fewer are aware of the particular ways our Christian identity has been undermined through the implementation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which was effectively the “progressive depth charge” that would go on to obliterate Christian policies and customs. We also discussed the issue of Alberta Independence, for which Dr. Wagner is a leading advocate, including the doctrine of the lesser magistrate and the moral validity and responsibility to defend one's culture.

What happens when the gospel truly takes hold of a person's life? In 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, the apostle Paul shows us that the gospel doesn't simply improve us—it makes us new.Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our deepest motivations are transformed, our identity is completely renewed, and our purpose in the world is redefined. The love of Christ begins to control our lives, freeing us from living for ourselves and calling us to live for the One who died and was raised for us.Through Christ, we are made into a new creation. The old has passed away, and the new has come. As people who have been reconciled to God, we are now entrusted with the message of reconciliation and sent into the world as ambassadors for Christ.This message explores how the gospel reshapes our motivations, gives us a new identity in Christ, and calls us into a mission to proclaim God's reconciling grace to the world.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

This Sunday, Pastor Derek continued our study through the book of Colossians with a message titled “The Why to Our What” from Colossians 1:1–14. The central truth was clear: Christ must be preeminent in our faith. Big Idea: Christ must be preeminent for our faith to be relevant. Walking verse by verse through the opening of Colossians, we were reminded that: When Christ is preeminent, the believer has identity (Col. 1:1–2, 14) When Christ is preeminent, the gospel has power (Col. 1:3–8) When Christ is preeminent, life has meaning (Col. 1:9–11) When Jesus is preeminent, worship gets real (Col. 1:12–14) Everything in the Christian life flows from keeping Jesus first. This message calls us back to the foundation of our faith—making Christ not just present, but prominent in every area of our lives. If you missed Sunday, we invite you to listen and be encouraged.

Segment 1 • Are we re-labeling Genesis because we're embarrassed in front of “the smart people”? • If miracles after Genesis 11 are literal, then creation and the flood can be too. • Is “mytho-history” careful scholarship—or circular reasoning dressed up as philosophy? Segment 2 • Some professing Christians think they can be solid believers while still supporting abortion. • Disagreement isn't a sign of hatred or even dislike - but simple, biblical conviction. • Some progressive “faith-leaders” are utilizing radical subjectivity to approve of things that God hates. Segment 3 • If you've truly seen the cross, how can you flirt with sin? • Evangelism can either be fueled by gospel-shaped gratitude… or a begrudging sense of duty. • Gospel knowledge must be moved from head to heart. Segment 4 • What transformed Joseph of Arimathea from fearful to fearless? • Have you actually considered what it meant to remove Christ's body from the cross? • If the crucifixion doesn't move you to gratitude and obedience, nothing will. ___ Thanks for listening!

Jesus didn't call us to be fans—He called us to be disciples. In this sermon from John 1:14, we look at what it truly means to follow Christ in everyday life. We shouldn't just believe in Him, we should also sound like Him. Our words reveal who we listen to, who we belong to, and who we love.If you've ever wondered whether your faith is evident outside of Sunday mornings, this message will challenge and encourage you to speak with grace, truth, and purpose.Your words should be windows that reveal Jesus, not walls that conceal Him.Check out the live preaching sermon here.

Who do you think you are? Not the mask you wear on a good day, not the collapse you fear on a bad one—but the person whose thoughts shape feelings, whose feelings drive actions, and whose actions can be changed by a wiser rhythm. We trace a clear line from identity to behavior and show why life isn't as random as it feels: see yourself one way, and the pattern follows; shift the lens, and healing becomes possible.Join Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, and Cloud of Witnesses special guests Father Deacon Anthony, an ordained deacon in the Antiochian Orthodox Church, and associate marriage and family therapist, Jacob Sadan (https://jacobsadan.com/) in this frank and inspiring discussion of sin.We explore how identity shapes feelings and actions, why guilt heals while shame condemns, and how the church's ordered practices offer a reliable path from chaos to wholeness. Stories from Scripture, honest talk on pride and despair, and a call to stillness make the way forward clear and practical.• identity as the lens that drives emotion and behavior• order in Scripture and the church as a healing system• fasting as meaning-filled practice tied to memory and love• Peter's guilt vs Judas's shame as a map for repentance• pride hiding inside despair and perfectionism• rhythm and stillness re-regulating a dysregulated life• engineered emotion contrasted with prayerful quiet• objectivity through tradition and the witness of saints• shame withering in light and communityWe unpack the difference between guilt and shame through the stories of Peter and Judas. Guilt invites repair and repentance; shame condemns the self and hides in the dark. Along the way, we confront the hidden pride that fuels despair—“backwards pride” that says we should have been above failure—and we offer a kinder, truer stance: you are not uniquely good or uniquely bad. You are human, loved, and in need of a system that helps you grow.That system has roots. From order in Scripture to the structure of worship, fasting, and community, the church provides reliable practices that re-regulate a restless heart. We contrast engineered emotion with drawn-out stillness, arguing that while loud rooms can stir real feelings, quiet prayer forms real people. Listening becomes a two-way relationship where we stop only asking and start hearing the “small voice” that clarifies who God is and who we are.Finally, we make the case for objectivity in the spiritual life. Tradition and the witness of saints give us a mirror that doesn't flatter but frees, helping us see our true place on the path without shame or pretense. When light replaces secrecy, shame shrinks, and habits of love take root.

In this episode, host Annika Brockschmidt is joined by historian Seth Cotlar, professor at Willamette University, for a deep dive into the long history of right-wing extremism in the United States and how it migrated from the political fringe into the heart of the Republican Party. Drawing on decades of archival research, Cotlar explains how white Christian nationalism, antisemitism, and “blood and soil” ideology have shaped conservative politics far longer than many people realize. Rather than seeing today's extremism as something new or accidental, this conversation traces clear throughlines from McCarthy-era paranoia to the Trump movement, showing how narratives about “real Americans” versus internal enemies have been refined and normalized over time. The discussion also explores how structural changes helped remove the guardrails that once kept extremists at the margins. Cotlar unpacks the role of partisan media, social platforms, and weakened political institutions in amplifying radical ideas, alongside case studies like Walter Huss, an Oregon Republican leader who quietly fused Christian Identity theology with party politics from the inside. The episode examines the mainstreaming of antisemitic conspiracies, from George Soros tropes to Holocaust denial references, and the rise of “heritage American” rhetoric rooted in blood-and-soil nationalism. By connecting historical movements to contemporary figures and language, this conversation offers essential context for understanding how extremist ideas gain legitimacy and why they continue to shape American politics today.

Pastor Jim unpacks Ephesians 2:11-22 to show how Jesus is not only our peace but the one who has destroyed every dividing wall. What once separated Jew and Gentile, near and far, is now reconciled through the cross. Jim reminds us that salvation is not just about forgiveness but about forming a new family, a new humanity, where God's Spirit dwells. The church is not a religious club or a place for behavior management. It is God's living temple on earth. In Christ, our identities are made secure, hostility is put to death, and unity is possible not through human effort but by the presence of God himself living among his people.

In this message from Colossians 3:12–17, we explore what it truly means to become new in Christ—not just by removing old habits, but by intentionally putting on the ways of Jesus. Paul calls us to put on the character of Christ, the relationships of Christ, and the worship of Christ. Rather than trying harder, we're invited to live differently—allowing compassion, forgiveness, unity, and worship to shape our daily lives and witness. Becoming new is not accidental—it's a daily, intentional practice of living out the identity we've already been given in Christ.

What happens when radical kindness unsettles someone more than violence ever did—and what does that reveal about how well we truly know Jesus? This editorial challenges readers to ask whether Christ is merely around us, or genuinely living within us.

In this sermon, Pastor Rick addresses the pressure many believers feel to never be enough. Teaching from Jesus’ words about salt and light, he reminds us that identity is declared by God before performance and that faithfulness—not comparison—is the true measure of success.

Carr shares his faith story, explains why he believes Christians should be deeply engaged in politics, and outlines how he evaluates public policy through a biblical worldview. From contrasting political perspectives, the discussion moves beyond party labels to examine deeper questions: Where is the line between moral conviction and coercion? How should people of faith relate to those who do not share their assumptions? And what happens when religious identity and political identity become inseparable?Rather than seeking agreement, the episode offers clarity. It reveals how faith-driven conservatism understands power, policy, and culture—and what it looks like when those ideas are tested in direct conversation with a Democratic host.Learn more: https://danqcarr.com/Guest Bio Dan Carr is a pastor, author, and political organizer working at the intersection of faith and conservative politics. He serves as pastor of Community Baptist Church and is involved in Republican political strategy and civic engagement in Mississippi.

John and Jenny unpack how racialized theology, Christian supremacy, and political extremism shaped everything from William Branham’s world to Youth With A Mission’s global footprint. Drawing on archival research and lived experience, they trace the line from British Israelism and Christian Identity theology through Bob Jones University, moral-majority politics, and Branham’s mentors into modern charismatic and New Apostolic Reformation networks. Along the way, they explore how “spiritual warfare,” end-times urgency, and talk of being the “true seed” of Abraham quietly merge race, nation, and faith into a single identity.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

In Part Two of the Becoming New series, we walk through Colossians 3:5–11 which shows us that real transformation requires putting the old self to death. Paul calls believers to purge old appetites, old reactions, and old identities—because you can't step into a new life while holding on to old patterns.

There are more than 200 references to diet found in the Scriptures, shining light on how our spiritual nourishment impacts every aspect of life: from our maturity, personal health, and church involvement to our values and future decisions. In this installment of the series "Diet," Dr. Gabriel Allen Powell challenges us to examine not just what we eat, but what we feed our souls. Are we truly immersing ourselves in God's Word, or have we settled for a distracted spiritual life?Support the showText encounteratl to 94000 to stay up-to-date on all things Encounter.Worship with EncounterSundays at 11 AM ET | Wednesdays at 7:30 PM ETSupport EncounterText egive to 77977 Connect with EncounterFacebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube | WebsiteConnect with Dr. GabeInstagram | YouTube | Website
