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 textThe spiritual battle behind today's headlines demands our full attention. In this timely and urgent episode, Reverend Ben Cooper leads listeners into powerful intercession for Israel and the Middle East, unveiling why standing with biblical Israel is not only prophetic but deeply spiritual.This message moves beyond surface-level commentary. As global instability grows and wars and rumors of wars escalate, believers are reminded that our battle is not against flesh and blood—but against spiritual powers in unseen realms. Cooper equips the church to respond not with fear, but with spiritual authority in Christ.“If you know who you are in Christ Jesus, the devil runs at the name of Jesus,” Cooper boldly states. This truth forms the heart of today's message: reclaiming your identity in Christ, where no curse, no witchcraft, and no demonic opposition can stand. This is biblical confidence, not spiritual arrogance.Listeners are taken on a global prayer journey, lifting up nations like Iran, Egypt, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Israel—interceding for revival, salvation, and divine intervention. Cooper prays for world leaders, those trapped in darkness, and even the enemies of the Gospel, believing for radical encounters with Jesus.This episode also delivers a sharp challenge to the modern church, calling for repentance from "woke culture," celebrity Christianity, and social media religion. It's a call to return to the undiluted Word of God, to seek holiness, and to walk boldly in Kingdom authority.If you're burdened by the state of the world, sensing spiritual warfare, or hungry for deeper intimacy with God, this message is a clarion call to rise in prayer, truth, and boldness. The authority of Christ is yours—it's time to walk in it.Join us in prayer. Stand in truth. Walk in victory.spiritual warfare, prayer for Israel, Middle East revival, end times prophecy, intercession, authority in Christ, spiritual attacks, biblical truth, identity in Jesus, global conflict, Reverend Ben Cooper, Christian podcastSupport the showhttps://www.pastorbencooper.co.uk/https://www.rbchristianradio.net/ buymeacoffee.com/reverendbencooper

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.

What if your teenager knows all the "right" Christian answers but can't defend a single one? Join Robert Bortins as he sits down with Steve Noble, former Christian talk radio host turned educator, who's taught over 1,400 high school homeschoolers since 2011. After 17 years on the airwaves, Steve made the bold decision to leave radio behind and focus entirely on equipping the next generation through his classes in civics, U.S. history, world history, and Christian ethics. Discover why civic ignorance is rampant even among conservative Christian kids, how to balance truth and grace in our polarized culture, and why teaching students how to think biblically is more crucial than ever. Steve shares hard-won wisdom about moving from cultural warrior to grace-filled educator, plus practical insights for parents wanting to raise kids who can defend their faith with both conviction and love.   Resources: https://www.nobleuschool.com/   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: Have you heard?

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!

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

What is your world view? How do you interpret and make sense of how the world operates? How do you look at life and circumstances that come your way? We all have one – a perspective about the world – a world view. But what is the world view of the Bible believing Christian? How does a vital connection with the God of heaven influence our assessment of and interaction with the world around us?

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!

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

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

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

The pain you endure and the faithfulness you choose are not wasted. There is a purpose beyond the temporary, and Scripture promises that eternal rewards in heaven are waiting for those who don't give up.If you've ever wondered, “Is it worth following Jesus?” or “Does God reward us for staying faithful?”—this episode will encourage you to live for what matters most.

Send us a textGUEST: Mary Jane Wheaton, David's MomThe great preacher Charles Spurgeon said, “Never could it be possible for any man to estimate what He owes to a godly mother.”I heartily concur with that sentiment, as God blessed my Dad with a godly wife and my siblings and I with a godly mother. All of us have been presently and eternally impacted by our mother, Mary Jane Wheaton, who was brought to saving faith in Christ in her 20s, and by God's grace, has followed Him to today at age 91.It has been an annual tradition on The Christian Worldview to interview my Mom and Dad in May and June over Mother's Day and Father's Day weekends. It's always enriching to hear their perspective on matters of life and faith, as they both were Christ-followers and married for nearly 70 years. The Lord brought my Dad home to heaven in 2023 at the same age my mom is today.My mom will be our guest this weekend on this Mother's Day special program. She will recount how God saved her, who has influenced her, how society has changed its view of women, what a wife should pursue, and much more.God's Word describes in Proverbs 31 the character of an “excellent wife” and mother, which says in part:“Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:“Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all.”Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”May women listening today be encouraged to pursue God's design for a woman, wife, and mother. And may young men be looking for this kind of woman to marry and may married men be cultivating this character in their wives.
