Podcasts about Christian worldview

Today we're talking about the growing controversy surrounding America's relationship with Israel, and the disturbing pattern of censorship that follows anyone who dares to even question it. Why are discussions about foreign influence and government transparency being shut down? Why are prominent voices silenced the moment they speak against powerful interests? We're asking the uncomfortable questions no one in the mainstream media wants to touch, from the suppression of speech to the "alliances" shaping U.S. policy, and praising those few, like Candace Owens, who refuse to back down in the pursuit of real justice and truth.This episode isn't about taking sides, it's about demanding honesty, accountability, and the freedom to ask hard questions without fear.

After a while away Chapel Chimes is back with a brand new episode. In this episode we discuss the topics of Christian worldview and why young men are not going into ministry and why so many churches are looking for pastors. Host pastor Dallas Peyton welcomes back pastor Austin Peyton.

In this week's episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller break down President Trump's new IVF policy, what it really means, why it's controversial, and how it fits into the bigger picture of life ethics and politics. They unpack the confusion around the Alabama Supreme Court's recent decision, expose shady billing practices in the abortion industry, and ask the questions most media outlets won't. Join them for an honest, thought-provoking look at how technology, law, and politics collide in the fight for life.

Young adults today are 1,600% more likely to identify as transgender than people over 50. Every family may not struggle with this issue—but every family will face it. Are you ready? In this critical episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit Ministries and author of the new book Raising Gender Confident Kids, for an unflinching conversation about one of the most pressing challenges facing Christian families today. Dr. Myers reveals why gender ideology isn't just about elevating Pride Month—it's a calculated strategy to tear down the foundations of Western civilization and biblical worldview. What You'll Discover: Why 39% of young adults now identify as LGBTQ—and what's driving this dramatic shift The shocking reality of "transgender recruitment" happening in public schools (and some private schools) How gender ideology functions as an anti-Christ religion with its own evangelism and discipleship steps Age-appropriate conversation strategies for elementary, middle school, and high school students Why middle schoolers are being specifically targeted before they complete puberty How to help your child respond when they can't tell if someone is a boy or a girl The biological truth: 6,500 cataloged differences between males and females—and why they're designed to harmonize Why teaching "Imago Dei" (being made in God's image) is now mission-critical for every Christian family Dr. Myers doesn't sugarcoat the reality: this is a well-funded, strategic assault on the biblical understanding of humanity. But he also offers hope, practical tools, and a pathway for parents to raise children who are confident in God's good design—while showing Christ's love to a generation that's been tragically deceived.   Resources: Raising Gender Confident Kids book - genderconfidentkids.com   https://www.summit.org/    This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Last week we examined the questions a Senior Fellow for Biblical Worldview suggested for discerning “Who is a Christian?” and “Who is on our team?” Today, we take that examination a step further. Is it possible that getting the “right answers” to worldview questions has obscured the good news of Christ, the actual gospel? Is it possible that the good news of Christ is better than we can imagine? David says the answer to both questions is "Yes!"

Did you know that each and everyone one of us has something call a "world view"? We have some idea about our origin. We have some idea about our purpose, and about our destiny. Now, if you're a bible believing evangelical, your world view is probably pretty well settled. But knowing what you believe isn't enough. You also need to know something about what other people believe. And you need to know something about the currents that are moving us in the tide of history and how we ought to react to it.

What if everything you thought you knew about the Bible's structure was making it harder to understand God's story? Pastor, author, and Bible engagement architect Randy Frazee joins host Robert on Refining Rhetoric to discuss why so many Christians—even those in Bible-believing churches—can't articulate the basic narrative of Scripture. The problem isn't a lack of commitment; it's how the Bible is organized. In this episode, you'll discover: ·       Why chronological Bible reading changes everything (and how The Story makes it accessible) ·       What really happens after you die—and why most Christians have it backwards ·       The surprising biblical truth: heaven isn't the final destination (hint: read Revelation 21-22) ·       Why the Garden of Eden matters for understanding eternity on the new earth ·       How Paul wrote the ultimate treatise on joy... from prison ·       The neuroscience that validates ancient biblical wisdom about depression and anxiety ·       Why gratitude is the #1 weapon against worry (backed by both Philippians and brain science) ·       The loneliness epidemic destroying Americans—and how proximity creates real community ·       Practical ways homeschoolers can combat isolation and build deeper connections Randy brings decades of pastoral wisdom, research-backed insights, and a refreshing perspective on biblical literacy. From explaining why Psalm 51 should be read right after 2 Samuel 11 (David's confession after his fall with Bathsheba) to unpacking why we'll still struggle at golf in the new kingdom (yes, really), this conversation bridges ancient truth and modern science.   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

What if the virtue we've been taught to prize above all others—empathy—has become a weapon that's destroying our families, churches, and society? In this thought-provoking episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Joe Rigney, author of the controversial new book "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits." Dr. Rigney, who serves as Fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College and is a pastor at Christ's Church, makes a bold argument that will challenge everything you think you know about compassion. Using the powerful analogy of someone drowning in quicksand, Dr. Rigney distinguishes between biblical compassion—which reaches out to help while remaining anchored to truth—and what he calls "untethered empathy," which jumps into the pit with both feet, creating two drowning victims instead of one. This counterfeit virtue, he argues, has been weaponized across cultural battlegrounds from immigration and abortion to the transgender movement, demanding that we validate feelings regardless of truth or moral consequences. The conversation explores how this emotional manipulation has infiltrated churches, schools, and homes through Social Emotional Learning curricula, creating what Dr. Rigney calls "the institutionalization of the pity party." From the redefinition of marriage to the mutilation of confused children in the name of "gender-affirming care," he traces how untethered empathy leads through a predictable progression: pity to anger to cruelty—all while flying the banner of compassion.   Resources: https://x.com/joe_rigney   https://canonpress.com/products/the-sin-of-empathy   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort: Are you a CC parent or graduate wanting to become a more confident classical educator?

Humanism promises progress and freedom but ultimately repeats the rebellion that began in the Garden, placing faith in human potential while pushing God aside. It borrows values such as equality, justice, and dignity from Christianity, yet redefines them without His authority, resulting in shifting standards that cannot stand. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar emphasize that history shows every attempt to build utopia apart from God ends in destruction, no matter how noble the intentions. They warn that even conservatism can turn into humanism when policies or politics become the focus instead of Christ. Believers are called to remain grounded in God's Word, intentionally disciple their children, and live out the gospel daily. Ultimately, true freedom and security are not found in man-made ideals but only in surrendering to Christ, whose reign offers lasting hope.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this episode of The UpWords Podcast, host Susan Smetzer-Anderson sits down with J. Richard Middleton, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Worldview and Exegesis at Northeastern Seminary and Roberts Wesleyan University. With decades of scholarship spanning theology, philosophy, and cultural analysis, Middleton offers a compelling exploration of what it truly means to hold a Christian worldview—and how that concept has evolved, been misunderstood, and often distorted over time.Drawing from his seminal work The Transforming Vision (1984) and his forthcoming book Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws: The Christian Worldview in a Conflicted Age, Middleton challenges listeners to move beyond tribalism, cultural conformity, and rigid doctrinal packages. Instead, he invites us to embrace a biblically rooted, lived orientation toward the world—one that is shaped by grace, community, and spiritual formation.Topics include:The difference between worldview as a lived orientation vs. a set of ideasHow cultural norms have overtaken biblical foundations in many churchesThe role of deconstruction and reconstruction in spiritual growthWhy diversity in Scripture points to a deeper unityPractical questions to help uncover and reshape your worldviewWhether you're a student, pastor, educator, or curious seeker, this episode offers rich insights into how we see the world—and how Scripture invites us to see it differently.

Today's Todd Huff Show is hosted by former Indiana State Senator John Crane, who reflects on his journey in politics and why he chose to voluntarily term-limit himself. Drawing from nearly a decade in public office, Crane explains why politics is always downstream from culture—and why the real battle lies upstream in the war of worldviews.Crane shares candid insights from his time in the Indiana Senate, including his conviction that Christians are called to be a catalyst for redemptive good in politics. He challenges the Church to stop treating politics as “too dirty” for engagement and instead equip the next generation of biblically grounded leaders to step boldly into the arena.Drawing on Romans 12 and his personal prayer life while serving in office, Crane emphasizes that leadership is intentional influence—and every believer is called to shine light where darkness seems strongest. He urges the Church to take political discipleship seriously, raising up leaders who are thoughtful, principled, and courageous.If politics is downstream, the Church must go upstream to shape culture with truth, conviction, and biblical clarity. As Crane makes clear: the mission field of politics desperately needs faithful leaders.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

As Crane makes clear: the mission field of politics desperately needs faithful leaders.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

He shares practical insights on when and how to use AI tools effectively while emphasizing why the struggle of learning remains irreplaceable. This episode is essential listening for parents wondering how AI will affect their children's education and future opportunities, offering both warnings and wisdom for the road ahead.

Todd unpacks the latest known details about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk and the deeper cultural rot that fuels political violence. He lays out why this wasn't random, why ideology matters, and how decades of dehumanizing rhetoric—from campuses to social feeds—prime unstable people to justify evil. Todd also digs into the online fallout: viral accounts identifying users who cheered Kirk's murder and sending those posts to employers. Is that accountability or a right-wing version of cancel culture? Todd weighs both sides while reminding us not to lose sight of the core tragedy—Charlie Kirk, a husband, father, and outspoken Christian, was gunned down for his beliefs.You'll hear Todd's perspective on radicalization memes like “Bella Ciao,” the cheap thrill of anonymous trolling, and why truth, not bitterness, must anchor our response. He also shares how creators can keep thick skin without hard hearts, and why the antidote to nihilism is meaning found in faith and family.Subscribe to The Daily Truth for free updates and resources at ToddHuffShow.com, and reach the show anytime at todd@toddhuffshow.com. Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way people think, learn, and trust information, but it also raises significant questions about truth and authority. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar welcome Cal Smith from AIG Canada to discuss both the promises and risks of AI, noting that while it can be helpful for research and everyday tasks, its reliability depends on the quality of the data it uses and should not be accepted without question. Cal explains how applying logic, mathematics, and observational science often reveals contradictions in mainstream thinking, emphasizing the need for believers to protect their God-given gift of critical thinking. The conversation highlights how society has moved from books to Google to AI, with each step diminishing discernment, and stresses that Christians must stay grounded in Scripture. Ultimately, the message is that AI can be a helpful tool, but it should never replace faith, truth, or the transformative power of the gospel.Send us a textThanks for listening!
