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!

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.

Buku "Christian Worldview: Mengembalikan Tradisi Intelektual Kristiani" (Philip Graham Ryken)

Dennis and Barbara Rainey discuss the importance of training kids to recognize, appreciate, and love the truth.Barbara and Dennis Rainey tackle a question facing so many Christian families: how do we teach our children to love and stand for the truth in a world full of shifting values and competing ideas? Barbara shares insights from her own parenting journey—including the challenges of finding engaging material for kids of different ages—and explains why stories, especially those rooted in history and faith, are so powerful for passing down unchanging truths.Together, the Raineys reflect on our culture's drift toward relativism and the importance of grounding kids in the absolute standards found in Scripture. You'll hear why instilling a love for truth goes far beyond simple lessons about honesty, and discover the enduring role that family storytelling can play in shaping character and courage for generations to come.

Everyone's talking about AI replacing jobs, but here's what they're missing: the real danger isn't AI taking over—it's our children never learning to think for themselves. Classical education might just be the key to thriving in an AI-dominated world.

With the Trump administration pushing AI as a solution to national debt and economic challenges, Robert examines both the promises and perils of this technological revolution. From data privacy concerns and the staggering energy demands of AI infrastructure to its potential impact on childhood development and learning, Robert offers a balanced perspective on navigating this new landscape. 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. Key Topics Covered:               The Trump administration's AI strategy and national security implications               Data privacy, intellectual property, and energy infrastructure challenges               AI in education: personalized learning vs. relationship-based teaching               Why experts benefit from AI while novices suffer               Practical guidelines for using AI tools safely and effectively               The irreplaceable value of struggle and the learning journey               How classical education prepares students for an AI-integrated world   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?

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.

When Kim Davis spent six days behind bars for refusing to sign same-sex marriage certificates, most people thought the story was over. They were wrong. Nine years later, Davis faces $360,000 in personal damages—and her case is now headed to the Supreme Court with the potential to overturn same-sex marriage entirely. Constitutional attorney Matthew Staver, who will argue before the justices, reveals how a small-town Kentucky clerk's conscience has become the vehicle for what could be the most significant religious liberty victory since the founding. But here's the twist: Even Chief Justice John Roberts saw this coming. In an unprecedented move, he read his Obergefell dissent from the bench—something he's never done before or since—warning that "five lawyers" were imposing their will without constitutional basis. Now, with a transformed Supreme Court and religious freedom wins piling up, Staver explains why 2026 could be the year everything changes. From the legal strategy that's already defeated "terrible decisions" to why Christians can't repeat the post-Roe mistakes, this episode reveals the inside story of the case that has constitutional conservatives hopeful.   Resources: https://lc.org/mat-staver https://lc.org/Kim   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

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!

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Cracker Barrel just released its new logo which is plain, sterile, and totally stripped of its heritage. They even removed the old man, erasing the story and charm that once gave the brand its soul. In this episode, we talk about how this isn't just about a restaurant chain, it's about the cultural war between beauty and ugliness, truth and lies, order and chaos.God is a God of beauty, truth, and order. Satan thrives in ugliness, lies, and chaos. What we're seeing in design, culture, and politics today is a Marxist-driven push toward minimalism, modernism, and brutalism—an aesthetic that reflects their worldview. But we don't have to accept this. We can choose a God-honoring path that preserves heritage, values beauty, and treats America as a homeland to be protected, not a business venture to exploit others (even its own people) for monetary advantage.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

On this Freedom Friday, we discussed the importance of knowing why you are a follower of Christ. We must know the God we serve and why we serve Him, or else risk living a life in vain. We turned to the phone lines to hear from our listeners when we asked them, “What did you see that ultimately caused you to believe in Christ?” We then had J. Warner Wallace joins us to unpack Christian case-making and presents some thought-provoking points about how to approach evangelism. J.

She has also authored several books, including “When Hurting People Come to Church: How People of Faith Can Help Solve the Mental Health Crisis.” You can hear the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

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." Bring your questions! There will be time for Q&A and callers! Andrew Walker (PhD in Christian Ethics) serves at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary as Associate Dean in the School of Theology, and Associate Professor of Christian Ethics and Public Theology. He is also the Director of the Carl F. H. Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement. Additionally, he is a fellow in Christian Political Thought at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and serves as the Managing Editor of WORLD Opinions. Christian Walker is an accomplished curriculum writer, elementary school educator, and former children's ministry leader.

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.
