Send us a textThis program previously aired 07/23/2022GUEST: ALEX NEWMAN, Journalist and Author, Crimes of the EducatorsIt's axiomatic—the one who teaches children is the one who shapes their worldview, and thus, society at large.The Bible assigns the teaching and training of children to parents. “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).But of course, God-rejecting man has a “better” idea—remove children from the (redefined) home to be indoctrinated by government “educators” for up to 40 hours each week from age four to 18. With a government that ignores the most important truth in life—God exists and has spoken in Scripture—how do you think that will turn out for the kids?Turns out, just as planned. John Dewey (1859-1952), considered the “Father of the Modern American Public Education System” said: “There is no God and there is no soul. Hence, there are no needs for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, immutable truth is also dead and buried.”In case you're not convinced, Dr. Chester Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychology at Harvard University, said at the Childhood International Education Seminar in 1973:“Every child who enters school at age 5 is mentally ill because he enters school with an allegiance toward our elected officials, our founding fathers, our institutions, the preservation of this form of government we have, patriotism, nationalism, sovereignty… All this proves that the children are sick, because a truly well individual is one who has rejected all those things and is what I would call the international child of the future.”Mission accomplished. Taxpayer-funded, federal government-mandated public education has shaped generations of the “international child” with unsuspecting parents losing almost all influence. The moral confusion that reigns in our children and nation today shouldn't be surprising.International journalist Alex Newman joins us for a second week on The Christian Worldview to discuss what government education has become and what Christian parents should do. Alex is the author Crimes of the Educators: How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy America's Children, CEO of Liberty Sentinel Media and a senior editor for The New American Magazine.---------------------------Indoctrinating Our Children to DeathAlex Newman documents the untold history behind government education and its founders like nobody has ever done before.This resource was published after this program aired in 2022.Education Resources in MN

Classical Christian education is a generational journey - and in this BaseCamp Live episode, we get a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse of how a love for the true, good, and beautiful is passed from parent to child. Dr. Louis Markos, professor, author, and longtime advocate for the great books, is joined by his son Alex, now a humanities teacher, to share how formative family habits, road-trip literature, and a Christian worldview shaped Alex's path from public school to a deep embrace of the classics.Together, they explore why Christians should read pagan literature, the difference between formation and information, and how ancient texts can lead students toward truth and scripture. With memorable stories - from Marcus Aurelius-inspired dance moves to processing grief through The Iliad - this conversation offers both encouragement and practical ideas for parents and educators seeking to form thoughtful, faithful young people.

"To be male is not, first and foremost, to embody certain cultural expressions, like wearing blue. To be male or female is to possess a male or female body. Our bodies are not blank canvases. There is a purpose to the design that our bodies exhibit. That purpose, fundamentally, is the body's organization for reproduction. That is the only stable way to define male and female. any other classifications are built off that primary foundation." Today's show will take a look at transgenderism as we walk through chapter 7 of Andrew and Christian Walker's new book, "What Do I Say When...?: A Parents' Guide to Navigating Cultural Chaos for Children & Teens."

Send us a text“Is your fantasy world leading readers closer to God, or just into the woods?” Christian fantasy authors often wrestle with a big question: Can I use magic in my stories without compromising biblical truth? In this episode, we break down how to create magic systems that are imaginative, compelling, and Christ-honoring.

Gary plays a recent clip of Piers Morgan who claims that Jesus never talked about abortion. He challenges people to "read the red letters" of the New Testament to see if Jesus ever mentioned the topic of abortion. There are many topics that are big in our modern cultural political climate that Jesus didn't mention. Gary brings the truth and the biblical understanding to the topic.

What if the biggest threat to Christian education isn't coming from the left—but from Christians themselves? In this eye-opening episode of Refining Rhetoric, attorney and author Kevin R. Novak drops a bombshell that will make you rethink everything about school choice, vouchers, and education reform. While most Christians celebrate getting "their tax dollars back" through ESA programs, Novak argues they're actually participating in socialism and expanding the very system they claim to oppose. Drawing from biblical principles of jurisdiction and constitutional law, Novak makes the case that civil government has zero authority over education—period. He reveals how school choice programs are driving up costs, why property taxes for schools are unconstitutional, and how the "Christian establishment" is gatekeeping a true education revival. From dispensationalists to pietists, Novak names the theological movements that got us here and explains why the solution isn't reforming public schools—it's abolishing them entirely.   Resources: https://deconstructingthecoliseum.com/   https://kevinrnovak.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort The Classical Learning Cohort offers online classes for parents to become more confident and competent Classical teachers.

If you’re not intentionally teaching your kids a solid Christian worldview, someone else is shaping their beliefs for you. In this can’t-miss replay from the Christian Parent / Crazy World vault, sits down with Elizabeth Urbanowicz—elementary educator, apologist, and founder of Foundation Worldview—to equip parents for the immense challenge of raising resilient, truth-loving kids in a culture determined to shape their values. While many children in Christian homes learn Bible stories and attend church, a shocking disconnect remains: they often think more like the surrounding culture than like Christ. Elizabeth shares her journey from the Christian classroom—where she saw even well-discipled kids absorbing secular ideas—to developing comprehensive curricula that anchor young minds in biblical truth. A worldview, she explains, is a “mental map” that guides everything we think, say, and do. In this episode, she equips parents to make that map biblical—even for their youngest learners.

Send us a textGuest: John Crotts, pastor of Faith Bible Church (Sharpsburg, GA)There are lots of issues that consume our attention, such as world events, politics, work, family, recreation, health trials, and more. But there is one issue for the Christian that should be of primary focus—loving God.Loving God means to order our thoughts and actions around what brings glory to God and pleases Him. In fact, Jesus said that loving God with our whole being is “the great and foremost commandment” (Matt. 22:38). Not a suggestion but a commandment.When the believer grows in love of God, he will enthusiastically want to worship and obey Him. Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Of course—we'll do anything for someone we truly love.So how do we grow in our love of God? Is it about trying to manufacture and maintain affectionate feelings toward God, as a man has for a woman with whom he is in love? Should Christians expect to wake up every day just naturally loving God?John Crotts joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the all-important issue of growing in your love of God. John has been pastor of Faith Bible Church in Sharpsburg, GA for 30 years, hosts the Integrated podcast, and is a fellow with the Fortis Institute, where he produced a video titled, “Head to Heart: Five Ways to Know and Love God.”

What is sex for? What is marriage? If they are meaningful – what does that meaning consist of? These are a few of the big picture questions that every worldview needs to answer before it has anything to say about how humans can flourish in sex and relationships. In this video, we explore how the Christian worldview answers these questions, and how recovering the real meaning of sex and marriage can lead us out of slavery and into freedom.WATCH this podcast in video form!To get the most out of this part of Unravelling it's important that you've caught up with parts one, two and three first as we will be referencing things from them.Unravelling CultureUnravelling WorldviewsUnravelling GenderFollow along with the PowerPoint slides for this presentationYou can find all our Unravelling material here

Is your Christian teen prepared for the intellectual assault waiting at university? Dr. Owen Anderson, Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Arizona State University, pulls back the curtain on what's really happening on college campuses. With 70% of Christian students walking away from their faith in university, Dr. Anderson—a rare conservative Christian voice inside the secular academic machine—reveals the specific challenges your children will face and how to prepare them for battle. You'll discover: ·       The philosophical foundations every Christian student needs before stepping foot on campus ·       How natural law and natural theology provide unshakeable answers to professors' attacks on faith ·       Why the Book of Job is actually the first philosophy textbook—and what it teaches about the problem of evil ·       The biggest misconceptions Christians have about the Book of Revelation (and why it's actually about victory, not defeat) ·       Practical strategies for documenting and reporting anti-Christian bias in the classroom ·       How to find mentors and build support systems that will help your student thrive, not just survive Universities aren't just liberal—they're actively working to destroy your child's faith. But Dr. Anderson proves it's possible to not only survive but thrive in hostile academic environments when you're properly prepared.   Resources: https://drowenanderson.substack.com/   https://drowenanderson.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: In a world filled with confusion, clarity begins with God's Word.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen speaks from Piedmont, Missouri, about the essential element that transforms truth into life change: application. He explains how biblical commands and principles must be practically implemented through Spirit-led standards. Drawing from personal stories and revival ministry experience, Dr. Jim urges young people to embrace conviction, avoid legalism, and courageously follow God's specific leading in their lives.Topics DiscussedWhat application is—and what it isn'tThe difference between commands, principles, and standardsWhy some standards differ based on personal past strugglesPractical examples of media, music, and technology applicationsThe difference between intrinsic wrongs and associational issuesThe Holy Spirit's role in grace-filled obedienceAvoiding legalism while still having strong standardsThe importance of responding to conviction immediatelyKey TakeawaysPreaching must lead to application or it's incomplete.Standards are personalized applications of God's Word, not legalistic rules.Different people will need different standards based on past experiences and weaknesses.The Holy Spirit leads both in conviction and in enabling you to live it out.Applications you make while young can protect and shape your entire life.

Cynane Shay - Tinfoil Hats & Lizard People PART ONEDIVORCED: ChristianityCynane Shay is a nuclear engineer living in South Carolina. Her childhood in White Christian Nationalism normalized conspiracy theories like Obama Birtherism and the Biblical apocalypse; but 2020, with COVID and Qanon, finally made her realize something was deeply wrong.Now Cynane is writing a book, “Taking Off the Tinfoil Hat: How Lizard People and Space Lasers Dismantled my Christian Worldview,” to process the deconstruction of her fundamentalist evangelical faith and her propagandistic patriotism. Losing loved ones to the pandemic was a tragedy, but losing loved ones to the rabbit hole was its own tragedy that left too many of us with unresolved trauma and unanswered questions. So from Flat Earth to the IBLP cult to Jewish space lasers, Cynane pulled the thread, cracked her faith, and found the inseparable link between cults, conspiracy theories, and American White Christian Nationalism. FIND CYNANE: More information, EXvangelical reading recommendations, and social media links are found on her website: www.TakingOffTheTinfoilHat.comFIND JANICE:Janice Selbie's Best-selling book Divorcing Religion: A Memoir and Survival Handbook is now available in the USA:Amazon.comhttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DP78TZZF and CANADA Amazonhttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0DP78TZZFRecordings are available for the Shameless Sexuality: Life After Purity Culture conference 2025!

What if the secret to raising spiritually mature kids isn't found in the latest parenting book, but in letting Scripture do the heavy lifting? Robert interviews Josh Niemi, founder of Expository Parenting Ministries, about his unique approach to Christian parenting that mirrors expository preaching—teaching children the Bible verse by verse in systematic discipleship. Josh shares how to start with storybook Bibles for younger children before transitioning to verse-by-verse study, the importance of partnering with expositional churches, and how this method builds solid theological foundations without common evangelical misconceptions. He offers practical insights from teaching his own three children through the entire Old Testament and discusses children's surprising capacity for understanding deep theology. The conversation also covers his book "Greater Than Aaron," exploring how Christ fulfills the Old Testament priesthood.   Resources: https://www.expositoryparenting.org/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort The Classical Learning Cohort offers online classes for parents to become more confident and competent Classical teachers.

Send us a textGUEST: SOEREN KERN, Geopolitical Analyst and Managing Editor, The Christian Worldview JournalWe at The Christian Worldview took two weeks off from producing new programs due to all the preparation required for The Overcomer Course for Young Adults which took place last weekend (more on that later in today's program), but God didn't take two weeks off from advancing His plans for the end times and the return of His Son.As The Overcomer Course concluded on Saturday evening, June 21, we watched with the rest of the world as U.S. B2 long-range bombers executed massive strikes on three of Iran's nuclear facilities, where they have been attempting to produce nuclear weapons and fulfill their open threats of “Death to Israel and Death to America!”After 12 days of Israeli strikes in Iran culminating with American bunker-busting bombs, Iran apparently got the message and a cease fire has ensued. The power structure in the Middle East has changed in a very short time, with Iran and its proxies weakened and Israel empowered.Soeren Kern, geopolitical analyst and managing editor of The Christian Worldview Journal joins us today to give perspective on these momentous events and how they may relate to God's end times plan.

Send us a text In this age of technology, we are all inundated with information and voices crying for our attention and our minds. If we don't have a solid Christian worldview or know how to critically think about all that clammers for our attention, we could find ourselves in a bad place. And as AI and technology ramps up more and more, it is vital that we equip our children with the ability to discern the Truth from amidst the lies. We sat down with long-time Christian Worldview teacher, Anne Sheridan, who has a lot of wisdom and sound advice for all of us! Anne teaches us how to run everything that assails our senses through the lens of a Christian worldview and how to critically think about everything! Resources Anne mentions - Summit Ministries - www.summit.orgPragerU videos (5 minute videos)- www.prageru.comWhat Would You Say (5 minute videos) - www.whatwouldyousay.orgWorldview Summer Camp - Worldview Academy, worldview.orgThanks for tuning in!

Send us a textThis program previously aired April 5, 2024.  The DVD mentioned is still available but would not ship until mid-July.GUEST: SETH GRUBER, Executive Producer, The 1916 ProjectIt's been said that “Ideas have consequences and bad ideas have victims.”Ideas are the causes of actions in the world, for better or for worse. And the Christian should know from God's Word that sinful ideas come from unregenerate minds. Romans 8 says, “the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God” (Romans 8:7-8).The depravity and death we see all around us in our culture, particularly millions of aborted babies, all manner of sexual and gender perversion, and suicide and euthanasia, are the direct result of ideas from minds that hate God and His truth and design.As shown in a new documentary film titled The 1916 Project by executive producer Seth Gruber, the wicked lineage of this God-forsaking worldview in America is built block by block upon well-known names like evolutionist Charles Darwin, abortionist Margaret Sanger, and pervert Alfred Kinsey and many other lesser known influencers like Thomas Malthus, Francis Galton, Havelock Ellis, and Emma Goldman.Gruber reveals how these men and women are the reason why abortion today is seen as “My body, my choice,” “love is love,” “gender is fluid,” and “children need to explore their sexuality at the youngest ages.”Seth Gruber joins us today on The Christian Worldview to discuss Margaret Sanger and the History of the Death and Depravity Revolution in light of The 1916 Project documentary film.-------------------Order The 1916 Project DVD

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Send us a textGUEST: BRAD KLASSEN, professor and teacher, Men of the WordYou've heard about “the war on men”. In fact, Owen Strachan, author of a book by that title was interviewed on The Christian Worldview on Nov. 18, 2023.Owen described how our society seeks to emasculate men in order to stamp out what they call “toxic masculinity”. At a more fundamental level, what animates this war is a rejection of God and his design and role for men. Instead of being the leaders, cultivators, and protectors God designed, men become passive, weak, and cowardly.The way back from this morass isn't as superficial as an in-your-face dressing-down by a drill sergeant or calls from the social media “manosphere” to “man up”. Nor is it as simple as engaging in manly things, like operating a chain saw or pumping iron in the gym.Our guest this weekend, Brad Klassen, Professor of Bible Exposition at The Master's Seminary and teacher of Grace Community Church's men's group “Men of the Word”, will explain how reclaiming Biblical manhood starts inside the mind and the heart.For when a man's mind is renewed according to Scripture (i.e. Romans 12:1-2) and when he is fueled by a love for God over himself and over the things of the world, God does a transforming work to make a man what He designed him to be.TEACHING SERIES with Brad KlassenThe Christian Mind seriesSearching for Significance series

Why has Pride Month become less about tolerance and more about forced celebration—and what can faithful churches do about it? In this episode of Refining Rhetoric, Dr. Rosaria Butterfield—former lesbian activist turned pastor's wife—explains how LGBTQ ideology became a cultural idol and why the evangelical church's "winsome" approach has failed. She offers biblical guidance for churches and parents on how to faithfully respond during Pride Month by boldly proclaiming gospel truth rather than negotiating with idols. Key Discussion Points: -              How the gay rights movement evolved from privatization to mandatory celebration -              Why LGBTQ ideology functions as an idol demanding worship and child sacrifice -              The evangelical church's failed strategy of compromise over truth -              Practical advice for parents of prodigals struggling with sexual sin -              What churches should do during Pride Month instead of staying silent -              Why Gen Z is hungry for bold truth over therapeutic excuses Resources: https://rosariabutterfield.com/ "The Lust of the Flesh: Thinking Biblically About Sexual Orientation" by Jared Moore "The Enemy Within" by Chris Lundgaard John Owen's works on indwelling sin "From Transgender to Transformed" by Laura Perry Smalts Decision Point (decisionpoint.org)   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by Copper Lodge Library 2025 New Releases  Explore the exciting new 2025 additions to the Classical Conversations Bookstore!

Send us a textGUEST: Dr. Joel Beeke, Pastor and Author, How to Lead Your FamilyFrom the very beginning, God established husbands and fathers to be leaders in their homes. This is to be a self-sacrificing and love-filled leadership, just as Christ loved and sacrificed for His bride, the church, the body of believers.As we approach Father's Day, what more important message can a husband and father hear than to fully embrace his call to lead his family for God's glory? This doesn't just mean rearing his children but shepherding his wife as well.Joel Beeke, former president and now chancellor of Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary and longtime pastor of Heritage Reformed Congregation in Grand Rapids, Michigan, joins us this weekend to discuss his helpful new book, How to Lead Your Family: A Guide for Men Wanting to Be More.The notable framework that Dr. Beeke sets forth in the book is that Christian husbands and fathers share in a limited way Christ's three offices of prophet, priest, and king. Joel will explain how this should play out in the home, as the husband and father loves and leads his wife and children.There is much biblical and practical wisdom for husbands and fathers in this short 80-page book and we will tell you how you can order a copy for a donation of any amount to The Christian Worldview.The interview was conducted this week halfway across the world, where Joel is preaching in New Zealand and Australia.---------------------------------How to Lead Your Family by Joel BeekeFamily Worship Bible Guide by Joel Beeke
