Podcasts about Christian worldview

Send us Fan MailGUEST: STEVE DEACE, from the Blaze, syndicated radio host and best-selling authorPresident Trump is relentlessly positive—about his abilities, his policies, and America. It's widely reported that the President was heavily influenced by Norman Vincent Peale's best-selling book from 1952, The Power of Positive Thinking. Peale was a minister at Marble Collegiate, a church in midtown Manhattan where Trump's family became members (but rarely attended).This likely explains why Trump chose Paula White-Cain to lead the White House Faith Office—she is cut from the same positivity cloth in the health, wealth, and prosperity movement where one “names and claims” God's blessings.So what does this have to do with the war in Iran? Trump's self-confidence, in his leadership, the U.S. military, and in his ability to “make deals,” has impelled him to undertake what no president previously dared—to take military action against Iran to keep them from developing a nuclear weapon with the goal of achieving peace in the Middle East. With the region's history of conflict going back to ancient times, this is an audacious objective.One of Trump's favorite adjectives is the word “great.” In late February, the war started “great” with the airstrike extermination of Iran's supreme leader and dozens of other commanders. The war continued to go great as the U.S. and Israel “decimated” Iran's military infrastructure and sank its navy. And now we're told the negotiations with Iran to end the war and give up their nuclear weapons ambitions are going great.But is that really true? One day the president says a deal is close. The next day we hear there's no deal. The reality is no amount of positivism can make a crooked stick straight—or open the Strait (of Hormuz), for that matter.Iran is crooked and intractable. Their Shia Muslim worldview is apocalyptic. They believe they will usher in the Twelfth Imam, the Islamic version of the messiah, through the conflagration of hostilities. This means they have no intention of peace with the U.S. and Israel, regardless of casualties and hardship. Their patience is long while the president must be mindful of the mid-term elections in November where he could lose power in the Congress.So how to reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable? Steve Deace, author and syndicated radio host for The Blaze, joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss how the war with Iran can be concluded in a way that achieves the objective of keeping them from making nuclear weapons.We will also address how the war has exposed the deep rift on the right over Israel and the major inroads Islam is making in Western nations, including the U.S. And finally, we'll talk about Steve's new children's book, Why Independence Day? America is Great Because God is Good, and the call for Christians to use their spheres of influence to be salt and light in our changing country.----------------------Steve Deace podcastSteve Deace NEW book: Why Independence Day?

Christina  Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first? Warren I subscribe to Kate Bowler's Substack and read this week that she had spoken at Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City. When she wrote that this United Methodist congregation had 25,000 members, I was a bit incredulous. Christina United Methodist churches do not usually grow that large, especially these days. Warren So, I did some fact-checking, and she is right, though most online sources also say that weekly attendance at the church is closer to 6,000. Still, that is big. The church is centrist in theology and has so far managed to stay in the United Methodist Church without suffering a meltdown in attendance, though its growth has flattened in recent years. I am going to keep my eye on the church. It will be an interesting bellwether for the future of the UMC. Christina Moving on, there's a leadership transition coming up at a significant Christian organization. Warren After nearly six years of service, Kevin Van Horne has stepped down as Executive Director of International Fellowship of Evangelical Students/ USA. His last day was Friday, May 15, 2026. According to a statement from the organization, “Kevin led IFES/USA through a season of significant change, helping to serve our global fellowship and partners well. We are deeply grateful for his leadership and for the ways God has worked through him.” Dave Shepherd (Director of Finance) has been appointed to serve as Interim Executive Director. IFES was a MinistryWatch Shining Light Award winner in 2023 and has maintained excellent ratings from us since then. Christina Warren, I know you are always interested in demographics and statistics. But something special caught your attention this week. Warren That's right, and before I say what that was, let me as some rhetorical questions. What is the most significant problem facing America and the world? Nuclear winter? Global warming? Artificial intelligence? I would submit for your consideration the coming depopulation of the earth. For at least 30 years, most reputable demographers have been saying that the world population growth is slowing and will likely top out soon. By the year 2100 the world will be in the midst of a significant population decline. Christina And one thing that caught your attention is just how much this population decline will impact all areas of life on earth. Warren That's right. This decline will have enormous implications for every aspect of life. Cities built for millions of people will disappear, leaving a rotting infrastructure. Economic growth will be impossible. We are already seeing towns in the Midwest and West disappear. That trend will accelerate. Christina I've got to admit, Warren, that that sounds a bit melodramatic. Warren I think it's fair to be skeptical, but population demographics is one area of social science that has pretty sound prediction models. Birth rates have fallen to record lows, and they don't change that much from year to year. So it's actually pretty easy to predict what the population will be in the future. And the numbers don't look good. But if these predictions seem a bit melodramatic to you, I suggest reading a new article from The Atlantic, The Great Depopulation. A world with a shrinking and aging population will offer great opportunities for ministry, but for almost every country on the planet, it will be a culturally wrenching reality. Christina On May 17, an event called ReDedicate 250 brought speakers to the National Mall in Washington. The speakers included Eric Metaxas, Mark Driscoll, Sean Feucht, and Greg Locke – all men we've written about here at MinistsryWatch. Warren That's right. They are a part of what some are now calling the Dissident Christian Right. Christina What does that mean? Warren They are not quite Christian Nationalist, but not mainstream evangelical, either. Most assessments have judged the event as kind of a bust. A few thousand people attended, but DCR pundits had predicted many more. For example, The Christian Post reported that Robert Jeffress predicted the gathering “could be the nation's largest religious gathering in more than 50 years.” It is not clear what the attendance figures for this event forbode for the DCR movement, but the weak attendance was a surprise to me and to many who have been following the movement. Christina And there was a notable passing last week. Warren My friend Bob Woodson died last week at the age of 89. If you do not know about Bob's life and the legacy he leaves behind, I recommend reading John Stonestreet's excellent tribute. It was an honor for me to be a part of the Colson Center team that presented Bob with a Wilberforce Award in 2018. He was sui generis. One of one. I will miss him personally, and our country will miss his leadership. I helped arrange a trip for him to The King's College in 2010 to do a live interview with Marvin Olasky. That interview is worth a listen, and you can find it here. Christina Warren, you've mentioned before, that you are a fan of Carey Nieuwhof's leadership podcast. This week he dropped one of his most personal episodes ever. Warren He recounts how, about 20 years ago, he experienced a period of profound burnout. It is part of a two-part series on how to avoid burning out. I strongly recommend it. You can find the first episode here. Christina Warren, we need to wrap things up here. Any final thoughts before we go? Warren I'll be in Knoxville this week attending an event hosted by my former colleagues and good friends at The Colson Center for Christian Worldview. If you'd like to have lunch with me on Friday, let me hear from you. I'll be doing similar lunches in Denver and Colorado Springs in June. Let me know if you would like to join us. My email is wsmith@ministrywatch.com. Christina That brings to a close this EXTRA episode of the podcast. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm Christina Darnell, along with Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.

Send us Fan MailGUEST: TODD FRIEL, Executive Director of Fortis InstituteThis Memorial Day Weekend, as we honor the sacrifice of so many members of the military over the generations who gave their lives in defense of our country and freedoms, we ought to thank God for His goodness, patience, and protection of our nation.This year we commemorate 250 years as an independent nation. The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 and references God four times as the source of our rights, laws, guidance, and protection. Indeed, early Americans and our history were overtly Christian. But as rebellion against God lurks in the heart of man, we have strayed very far from that today.The Trump Administration, along with public and private organizations, are seeking to change that, to rededicate our nation to God. One week ago, a large event was held in Washington DC called Rededicate 250, promoted as “A National Jubilee Of Prayer, Praise & Thanksgiving. Freedom 250 Invites All Americans to Come Together in Prayer and Worship Ahead of the Nation's 250th Birthday.”Todd Friel, pastor of Alpharetta Bible Church (GA), host of Wretched TV and Radio, and executive director of the Fortis Institute, joins us to discuss several aspects of Rededicate 250 and whether it can lead to Christian revival in our nation. We will also discuss one of the reasons Americans have been persuaded away from God—the college campus.-------------------------PROGRAM NOTES:Fortis+ - Christian streaming and media platform connected to Fortis Institute and the ministry of Todd Friel.Wretched Radio Wretched TVAlpharetta Bible Church

How do we move students from simply talking about truth, goodness, and beauty to actually living those ideals out in everyday life? In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens is joined by Sharon Carlson for a thoughtful conversation about what it means to develop an “operational theology” , a faith that shapes not just beliefs, but daily decisions, relationships, failures, and future plans. Sharon draws from decades of experience in classical Christian education, student formation, counseling, and college advising to explore how schools and parents can help students connect theology to real life. Together, they discuss: Why students often struggle to apply Christian truth in practical decisions What “the good life” actually means from a biblical perspective How parents and schools can respond redemptively when students fail Why discipline moments can become discipleship opportunities The difference between knowing Christian virtues and becoming more like Christ How theology helps students navigate anxiety, uncertainty, and major life decisions Why “the best next step” matters more than fear of making the “wrong” decision Sharon also shares insights from mentoring students through college and career decisions, helping them understand that God's will is ultimately about being conformed to the character of Christ, not simply finding the perfect school, job, or path.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mothers out there. Today's episode is a deeper conversation about the urgent need for stronger, more biblical men and women in our culture, people willing to stand for truth, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent in the face of evil.We discuss the ongoing outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of accountability for powerful people, and the broader cultural failure to protect victims from wicked and predatory individuals. But this conversation goes beyond headlines. It's about morality, courage, justice, faith, and what happens when societies stop valuing strong families, strong character, and biblical principles.This episode is ultimately about hope too, because evil does not win forever. Real justice matters, truth matters, and good people still have a responsibility to speak up.

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Each year, the Northwest Christian School Board enjoys a session with the entire Northwest Christian secondary Bible team.  The open-ended conversation includes highs and lows, strengths and weaknesses, and a focus on whether or not the program is truly impacting students and helping them to develop a Biblical worldview.Following the January 2026 version of the conversation, we recognized that we wanted to take it further and, in the spirit of transparency and authenticity, open it up for all to hear and participate.  As a result, over the next several weeks and months, Kingdom Culture Conversations is going to take the time to walk through these conversations with each of the school's secondary Bible teachers.Today, we continue this journey with Alana Heater, Northwest Christian's freshman Bible teacher.  A Northwest Christian alumni herself, Alana is on the leading edge of the high school's theology program and serves as the intermediary between our middle and high school programs.  Teaching Old Testament, especially in sum, can be challenging but she makes the experience both memorable and meaningful in designing opportunities for students to engage the text.  Alana is also the director of Northwest Christian's Academic Affiliate partnership with the Colson Center for Christian Worldview.  In her two roles, and with this threefold perspective, her contributions to this ongoing conversation are beyond insightful.So, from this unique perspective, what does she have to say?  What is working?  What isn't? "Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created by Northwest Christian School in Phoenix, Arizona.For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit:  https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone:  (623)225-5573.

Jeff Dornik joins Kristi Leigh on DC Dispatch on LindellTV to break down the hypocrisy in Washington over ICE, Border Patrol, illegal immigration, redistricting, weaponized justice, marijuana policy, AI propaganda and the deeper spiritual crisis underneath it all.The real problem is not just bad policy. It is a worldview collapse. Politics is downstream from culture, culture is downstream from religion, and religion is downstream from what people actually believe about God, truth and authority. Naturally, Washington would prefer we keep arguing over symptoms forever, because treating the disease would be terribly inconvenient for the people fundraising off the infection.Jeff also explains why Pickax is not just another free speech app, but an algorithmically free platform built to restore authentic community, direct creator-audience relationships and actual engagement without begging Big Tech's digital overlords for permission to be seen.Watch the full interview and join the conversation.

Send us Fan MailThis program was previously aired on 12/13/2025GUEST: PASTOR DARRELL HARRISON, Co-Host, Just Thinking PodcastFive times each day the Muslim call to prayer sounds from mosques in Minneapolis. One might expect this in an Islamic country like Saudi Arabia or Iran, but in the United States, a nation that was founded and operated on distinctly Christian principles? The founders likely made the assumption that our nation would be and remain Christian, as early immigrants came from Christian European nations. They probably thought future Americans wouldn't be so foolish as to welcome hundreds of thousands of Muslims.But those with an unbiblical worldview of secular and religious humanism have taken power and hold to the spirit of Babel—that uniting all religions and peoples together will make us good and united. That will not work with Islam and its mission to dominate the world. Europe has puts its very existence at risk in bringing millions of Muslims into its nations and towns and now America is doing the same in Minneapolis, Dearborn, MI, New York City, and elsewhere.Darrell Harrison, shepherding and teaching pastor at Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) and the co-host of the popular Just Thinking Podcast, joins us to explain how Islam is less a religion but rather a political ideology of domination and how Christians should respond.Program Notes:Just Thinking PodcastRedeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ)

Tucker Carlson told his audience that Muslims love Jesus. But is that true? Islam claims Jesus as a prophet while denying His deity, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. The Quran rewrites the gospel and replaces it with a competing narrative. In this episode of G3 Weekly, Scott Aniol examines Tucker's theological claims — including his suggestion that Trump may be the Antichrist — and explains why faithful Christians must test the spirits, even when the errors come from voices on their own side.Also this week: Russia drops a precision bomb on a Baptist church during a prayer meeting in Ukraine. Trump's Religious Liberty Commission declares there is no separation of church and state — and we explain why the Reformed tradition says that's the wrong correction. And Carl Trueman releases "The Desecration of Man," arguing that modernity doesn't just ignore God — it actively delights in destroying His image.4 STORIES THIS WEEK:Russia Bombs Baptist Church in UkraineReligious Liberty CommissionTucker Carlson, Islam, and the AntichristCarl Trueman: The Desecration of ManFor more helpful resources, visit G3+ at plus.g3min.org.

Living as a Christian in 2026 presents unique challenges as we navigate a post-Christian culture filled with overwhelming information and opposing worldviews. Maintaining a biblical perspective requires intentional effort to let Scripture, not current events or politics, shape how we see the world. We must fight a spiritual battle using God's Word, fellowship with believers, and submission to His truth. While no political party perfectly aligns with biblical teachings, we can apply biblical morality to issues like life, marriage, and social justice. The goal is developing a heavenly perspective that rises above earthly divisions while extending grace to those who struggle.Support the show

Send us Fan MailAccording to a public relations company, the news cycle is “a continuous process of news generation, distribution, and consumption that describes how media outlets create, report, and replace news stories throughout a given time period.”Today, in our age 24-7 media and everyone with a phone and camera posting on social media, the news cycle doesn't last long. A story is posted, shared, consumed, and then replaced with the next story in the blink of an eye.It's hard to keep up or absorb the significance of what is taking place all around us…because the next news story is there to grab our attention.This weekend on The Christian Worldview, Todd Starnes, the Christian and conservative journalist and host at Newsmax who has lived the news cycle during his long career, will join us to discuss several current events, from the war in Iran to once-trusted conservatives turning against President Trump and Israel to the growth of Islam in Europe and the United States to the president posting an image of himself that most thought represented Jesus.Scripture calls Christians to be alert and discerning and that's what we aim to do as we examine some of the major events in the world today, knowing that it's not merely a news cycle but God moving all things toward the return of His Son.

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/

David uses a Scriptural metaphor to explain what he sees missing in the way Christians understand our times. And he explains how it has affected the approach to politics taken by both end-abortion-now advocates and traditional right to life advocates. At a fundamental level, they seem to be the same.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christian Worldview and Cultural Engagement (Lesson 7)

Send us Fan MailGUEST: VIRGIL WALKER, Teaching Pastor, Redeemer Bible Church (Gilbert, AZ) Kings, rulers, emperors, prime ministers, and presidents always surrounded themselves with advisors so they can hear what they consider to be the most informed perspectives of domestic and foreign policy. In our day, this would be the president's cabinet with the heads of the various government agencies.Most rulers throughout history have also surrounded themselves with spiritual or religious advisors in the hope that they will receive wisdom from those closest to God, or in idolatrous nations, from those who worship false gods. The Egyptian Pharaoh had his wise men, sorcerers, and magicians who provided counsel and performed their “secret arts.” The kings of Judah and Israel were always surrounded by prophets and priests in order to know God's will.And that's the critical point—knowing God's will only comes from those who genuinely know God. Just like the broad way that leads to the destruction and the narrow way that leads to eternal life, most who spiritually advise rulers will be like the false prophets of Ahab telling the king what he wants to hear while few will be brave enough to speak the true Word of God.Enter the modern day and President Trump's White House Faith Office, an advisory board of religious leaders selected by the president led by the well-known charismatic pastor and televangelist Paula White-Cain. White-Cain teaches the health, wealth, and prosperity false gospel and it influences how she leads the Faith Office.There are other more sound Christian pastors and leaders like Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, and Franklin Graham, evangelist and head of Samaritan's Purse. These men are in a testing position—how to be faithful when there is compromise all around?Virgil Walker, pastor, author, writer, and podcast host, will join us this weekend to help us think through the spiritual influences on President Trump. Because how the President sees himself and how he makes decisions will be in part, perhaps in large part, influenced by who those have his ear.-----------------------------PROGRAM NOTES:Just Thinking podcastSubstack page

When it comes to legislation, many Christians look to the "law of Moses" to flesh out what is right and wrong and, increasingly, to determine what sanctions should be applied to certain wrongful acts. It is part of the "whole counsel of God," but is there a way to flesh out this law out that is "spiritually minded" vis-a-vis "fleshly" or even "carnally" minded? Today, David offers a context for thinking about those laws that he believes is spiritually minded, and begins to apply it to legislative efforts to "end abortion now."Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailThis program previously aired 03/30/2024In the days leading up to Easter I was watching a weather forecast on television. When the extended forecast came up showing the weekend ahead, there was an icon of a bouncing bunny on Easter Sunday (better termed Resurrection Sunday). Nothing on Crucifixion Friday…not even a mention of Easter weekend.How sad and tragic that the most important event in the history of mankind—the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ—has been replaced with a counterfeit fairy tale (the Easter bunny and Easter eggs). For to not know about the person and work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His supernatural resurrection is to be left in the dark about the one way God offers to reconcile sinners to Himself.“For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time” (1 Tim. 2:5-6).This Easter weekend on The Christian Worldview, we will focus our minds and hearts on what God has revealed in His Word about His Son the Messiah, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer and the Victor.

This episode dives into the controversy surrounding Jaden Ivey's outspoken beliefs, asking whether his bold stance is misguided or a genuine stand for faith in today's culture. Drawing parallels to John the Baptist, the discussion explores what it means to speak truth publicly, the cost of doing so, and how society responds when convictions clash with mainstream values. Is this reckless behavior—or a call to repentance that people aren't ready to hear? Luke 3:7-20Galatians 1:10

Episode Summary: Jesus talked about the Kingdom of God continually. In contrast to “church,” which is only mentioned twice, “kingdom” is mentioned over 120 times in the gospels. So why do we treat the Kingdom like it barely matters?In this episode, we sit down with our former co-host, Dwight Vogt, to discuss his newest book, Made to Live: The Good News of the Kingdom of God. Starting in Genesis 1, Dwight shows how the Kingdom is the unifying thread of Scripture and the key to understanding both the gospel and human purpose.We explore a simple framework for a kingdom which includes a king, realm, subjects, and the king's will, and wrestle with big questions: If Jesus has all authority, why does evil still persist? What does “my kingdom is not of this world” really mean? And what does it look like to live under Christ's reign today?From work and leadership to family and justice, this conversation shows how God's Kingdom touches every part of life. If your faith has ever felt disconnected from the real world, this episode will equip you with clarity and a passion for life.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Today David looks at how some theonomists and abortion abolitionist might respond to what he said last week about Paul's 3-point summary given Timothy of what obeying the law of God means. Is it antinomian? To that end he considers what Paul meant when he told Timothy that some who desire to be teachers of the law don't use it lawfully because they neither understand what they say or what they affirm.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
