1. Kathy Hochul (New York Governor) – Economic Hypocrisy Hochul previously encouraged conservatives and wealthy job creators to leave New York. After large numbers of high‑income residents relocated, she now publicly urges wealthy individuals to return. This is hypocrisy—rejecting wealth creators ideologically while depending on them financially to sustain social programs. Left‑wing governance is hostile to success yet reliant on taxing it. 2. James Talarico (Texas Democratic Senate Candidate) – Religious & Cultural Contradictions Democrats selected Talarico to appeal to Christians because of his seminary background. His theological statements (e.g., describing God as “non‑binary”) are radical reinterpretations of Christianity. Additional Points: Supports abortion access for transgender individuals. Expresses discomfort with traditional symbols like the American flag and the Christian cross. Advocates reducing meat consumption and runs a vegan campaign in barbecue‑centric Texas. 3. Joe Kent (Former Trump Administration Official) – Foreign Policy Reversal Kent resigned in protest of U.S. military action against Iran, blaming Israeli influence. His past statements strongly supported aggressive action against Iran and praised Trump’s Iran policy. He later suggests (without evidence) that Israel may be threatening President Trump. Media reports suggest he may have leaked classified information. 4. Cesar Chavez (Labor Icon) – Moral Hypocrisy and Historical Revision Chavez has long been revered by the left as a civil‑rights and labor hero. A New York Times exposé alleges Chavez sexually abused minors over many years. The Left has: Allegedly concealed or ignored these accusations because Chavez aligned with their politics. Continued honoring him with statues, street names, and official recognition. Ideology was prioritized over justice and child protection. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

John Luke and Zach respond to sharp criticism, pushing back on a mindset that shuts down honest questions instead of engaging them. Al walks through the historical events that set the stage for Christianity's explosion onto the world scene, including Nero's brutal persecution of Jesus' followers. Meanwhile, Christian digs into the cultural significance of the gymnasium and how it revealed the tension between Greek and Jewish ways of life. Today's conversation is about Lessons 3 of Ancient Christianity taught by visiting Hillsdale Professor of History Kenneth Calvert. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/. More about Ancient Christianity: Christ entered the world during the reign of Caesar Augustus. The tensions between Christianity and the Roman Empire shaped the daily practice of the Christian faith and led many Romans to distrust and persecute the early Christians. But Christianity also benefitted from the Roman world. And when Rome collapsed in the West, Christianity provided the hope for preserving civilization. In this free, eleven-lecture course, Professor Kenneth Calvert will explore: How the Jewish, Greek, and Roman cultures all contributed to preparing the world to hear the Gospel. Why many Romans distrusted and persecuted the early Christians. The inspiring stories of Christ, His apostles, and faithful ones throughout the first four centuries of Christianity. The arguments of key early Christian apologists—Ignatius, Irenaeus, Justin, Athanasius, and more—who defended and defined the Christian faith amidst the animosity of the Roman world. The conversion of Constantine and how he brought stability to Rome, and how the rivalry between his sons almost returned Rome to paganism. How Augustine's writings helped preserve the message of Christianity during the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. You will discover the uncertainties, trials, and triumphs of the earliest Christians as they confronted controversies within the faith and persecutions from outside it.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 150 The Nazi Party had a problem through its entire existence, from 1920 to 1945. That problem was Christianity, which was in its way. The Nazi movement, you see, was a totalizing worldview that is in many ways at complete odds with Christianity. In order to get German Christians, both Protestant and Catholic, to accept and move toward Nazi ideology, a concept known as "Positive Christianity" was proposed as the official belief doctrine for the Third Reich, but what was it? Initially, it seems it was a placeholder meant to placate German Christians without offending either Catholic or Protestant. Later, it was developed by Nazi ideologist Alfred Rosenberg into a "bridge faith" meant to bring Christians in through their faith and slowly transform them into Nazis who would leave Christianity behind. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay lays it all out in a deep, thorough, and succinct way so that you can understand. Join him, and you'll see not only history but clear parallels to the "Christian Nationalism" movements of today. Latest from New Discourses Press!

Yoga is an ancient practice with its roots in Hinduism. It originated over 5,000 years ago in northern India, but for many, has now evolved from a spiritual path into the wellness practice known globally. In the West, millions now do yoga as a form of exercise and wellbeing. It is an industry thought to be worth tens of billions of dollars. But as it has boomed, yoga has been interpreted in new and sometimes controversial ways. What has been dubbed 'Christian yoga' has gained loyal supporters, who say it helps them reconnect body and soul. But not everyone agrees. Some within the Hindu faith argue that Christian yoga risks stripping an ancient practice of its religious roots. Then, there are Christians who say the practice is “not of Jesus”. Megan Lawton meets teachers of Christian yoga and those who don't believe yoga and Christianity can ever be compatible.

What would it actually mean for a small town to be Christian? In this episode, pastors James Baird and Matthew Adams explore the often-misunderstood idea of “Christian communities” and move past slogans to discuss what Scripture, history, and lived experience reveal. Rather than political dominance or cultural nostalgia, the conversation focuses on something far more demanding: faithfulness, local responsibility, embodied witness, and the slow work of cultivating real Christian life. Topics include: • The difference between cultural Christianity and true religion • Why localization and ordinary faithfulness matter • The role of churches, families, and institutions in shaping a town • The dangers of abstraction, ideology, and online tribalism • How Christian influence actually grows in the real world • Practical reflections for believers living in small communities Whether you live in a rural town, suburb, or city, this discussion gets at a deeper question: how does Christianity take root in a place rather than merely exist as an identity? If you care about theology, culture, and the future of Christian witness, this episode will challenge many assumptions.

It's Witness Wednesday! Join Todd on campus in downtown Atlanta where he meets an interesting cast of characters, among whom is a Hare Krishna devotee who is radically inclusive in his religion… but is he right? When real people are introduced to the Jesus of the Bible, worldviews are challenged, and hearts are changed. Segment 1 • Tim (Hare Krishna) claims every religion works—including Christianity—so does truth even matter? • If God is “everything,” is He also a lamppost? The worldview starts to unravel fast. • Big question: can mutually exclusive religions all be true at the same time? Segment 2 • Tim affirms Jesus… but only as a “spiritual master”—not the only way. • Jesus' exclusive claim (“I am the way”) directly collides with Tim's mix-and-match belief system. • Are you allowed to reinterpret Jesus to fit your worldview? Segment 3 • Hannah admits she's “on the fence,” citing science, church history, and bad Christian examples. • The deeper issue surfaces: are objections really intellectual—or rooted in something else? • If a God exists who solves guilt, shame, and death—would you actually want Him? Segment 4 • Hannah claims moral goodness—then walks through lying, stealing, lust, and guilt. • The standard shifts from her view to God's law, exposing real accountability. • If we're truly guilty before God, what's the solution? ___ Thanks for listening!

In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace tackles one of the most important questions in the Christian faith: Is Jesus truly God, or just a created agent of God? Limiting the "evidence" to three key passages—John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1—he works through the text like an investigative case file, showing how each "chapter one" presents Jesus as Creator, sustainer, redeemer, and the visible image of the invisible God. Along the way, he explains terms like "firstborn of all creation" and "the exact imprint of His nature," clarifying why the earliest Christians worshiped Jesus and why Christianity collapses if He is anything less than God incarnate. If you've heard that Paul invented a different Jesus, that the Gospels don't teach His deity, or that early Christians didn't worship Him as God, this episode will help you rethink those claims and better explain Jesus' identity to the people you love. If you find this conversation helpful, please subscribe, leave a review, and share the podcast with a friend—it really helps more people discover the case for Christianity.
In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines several stories shaping the global conversation and asks a deeper question: why does so much of human history revolve around the person of Jesus Christ?First, the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran once again puts the Middle East at the center of global attention. But beneath the geopolitics lies a deeper reality: the world's major conflicts are tied to the competing claims of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—and ultimately to the question Jesus asked his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?”Next, Alex addresses reports of a missile strike on a school in Iran and what Christian moral teaching says about war, the dignity of human life, and the principles of just war theory developed by Augustine and Aquinas.Then we examine troubling survey data showing a decline in pro-life convictions among churchgoers, and what that reveals about the influence of culture on modern evangelicalism.Finally, Alex discusses the growing debate about pastoral sabbaticals, the state of masculinity in the church, and whether modern ministries are producing fewer missionary-minded men like William Carey and Hudson Taylor.If the church is growing softer, what kind of Christianity are we exporting to the world? https://abwe.org/https://press.founders.org/shop/order...

In the twenty-first century, Christianity or historically Christian societies have witnessed one of the most extraordinary revolutions in attitudes to sex and gender in human history, bringing liberation for some and fury and fear for others. Understanding the history of Christianity and its influence on our cultural identity is essential to understanding debates around the role of women in society, same-sex relationships and the public exploration of gender and trans identity. In March 2026, Diarmaid MacCulloch, one of Britain's foremost experts on the history of Christianity, and Mary Beard, acclaimed and award winning classicist best known for her work on the history of women and power, came to Intelligence Squared to help us understand the 3000-year-long story of Christians, and Jews before them, encountering sex, gender and the family. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

It's Wednesday, March 18th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Timothy Reed Swedish Christian family guilty of “religious extremism” for going to church The European Court of Human Rights refused to hear an appeal of a Swedish Christian family in a case involving parental rights and religious freedom. Back in 2022, officials in Sweden separated Daniel and Bianca Samson from their two eldest daughters. The state found no evidence of abuse but accused the family of “religious extremism” for simply attending church three times a week. Morales Sancho, Legal Counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom International, stated, “The element of religious discrimination is also unmistakable in this case. The state labeled the family as religious extremists solely because of their active practice of their Christian faith.” Psalm 14:4 asks, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” Swedish population embraces sexual perversion Sadly, people in Sweden are the most likely to view homosexuality as morally acceptable in a recent Pew Research survey. The study surveyed 30,000 people across 25 countries. People in European countries were also among the most likely to be morally accepting of homosexuality, abortion, and divorce. Christianity's decline in England People in Britain are worried about the decline of Christianity in the nation. A study by Whitestone Insight found that 52% of Brits believe that drifting from their Christian roots is bad for future generations. Fifty-eight percent also said that Christianity plays a beneficial role in public life. This comes as Christian identification has declined. Only 44% of adults in Britain identified as Christian last year, down from 54% in 2018. Carrie Prejean, who objected to Zionism, was fired by Trump's religious liberty commissionIn the United States, a member of the U.S. President's Religious Liberty Commission, Carrie Prejean Boller, was removed from her position after she registered opposition to Zionism last month. A recent convert to Catholicism, Boller challenged the tenets of Zionism, claiming they were incompatible with her faith. She also sent a letter to President Donald Trump after her removal, explaining her misgivings. She appeared on the podcast of LifeSiteNews.com editor John-Henry Western. BOLLER: “I know there's three Catholics that are thinking about running for president in 2028 so I don't think now is the time to really dismiss Catholics, fire Catholics, remove Catholics, simply because I'm standing up for my Catholic faith. “So, I'm hopeful that he's going to make the right decision. Otherwise, this religious liberty commission should be completely shut down. If I don't have my religious freedom on a Religious Freedom Commission, it's not a religious freedom commission.” Christian workplaces thrive Employees in Christian-led workplaces report high levels of engagement in their work according to a new report. The State of the Christian Workplace 2026 report released new data on 40,000 employees in over 400 Christian organizations in the U.S. Sixty-one percent of employees in Christian-led workplaces reported being engaged in their work. These engagement levels are nearly twice that of the U.S. workforce overall. Jay Bransford, President & CEO of Best Christian Workplaces, noted, “Engaged employees bring energy, enthusiasm, commitment, and passion that directly fuel Kingdom impact.” Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.” U.S. federal workforce shrunk by 10.3% Pew Research reports that the U.S. federal workforce shrank by 10.3 percent in 2025. Nearly 350,000 people quit, retired, were laid off, or otherwise left the federal government last year. That's an 80 percent increase compared to 2024. Agencies with the most job cuts included the U.S. Agency for International Development, the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities, and the Education Department. 18-year-old rescues brother from axe-wielding man And finally, an 18-year-old is thanking God after protecting his brother from an ax-wielding man in Florida over the weekend. Fox News reports Leodan Pino and his 16-year-old brother were closing up a car wash in Ocala. That's when the suspect approached while yelling and threatening. Pino told the man he had to leave. The man refused and pulled out an ax. Thankfully, Pino is a military recruit and trained in mixed martial arts. He proceeded to execute a take down and subdued the suspect until police arrived. Listen to his comments afterward. PINO: “I'm very thankful that God gave me the opportunity and gave me the strength to be able to control that situation. Very thankful that I was the one closing with my brother and no one else was. Because I'm not too sure if any of my co-workers would have done the same thing as I would have.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, March 18th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

In this episode, I talk with Cara Shine about her powerful journey from growing up Jewish with painful misconceptions about Christians to encountering the love of Jesus through the quiet faithfulness of two “good Christians” at her school. During the terrifying DC sniper attacks, one hallway prayer changed everything. Cara shares how kindness, presence, and Scripture softened her heart and opened the door to faith in Jesus. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the way we represent Christ matters deeply. If you’ve ever wondered whether your quiet faithfulness makes a difference, this episode will encourage you more than you know.

In ancient days Jesus' followers were mocked for being "little Christs." The specific term was Christianoi, Christians (Acts 11:26). Our ancient sisters and brothers "owned" the derisive term, Christian. Me? I've decided to own the designation Christian Nationalist. Why? Well, I explain that more carefully in the show, but for starters it is because I love both my faith and my country. How can the Christian faith bless the nation? (And if you don't believe Christianity can bless the nation why are you a Christian?) Along with giving reasons for all that I also offer a few remarks on the recent invasion of Iran. Why is that a good thing? What concerns do I have? Come think and laugh with me.
Num 26:52-28:15, Luke 3:1-22, Ps 61:1-8, Pr 11:16-17
A political science major at a major university was having coffee with a campus pastor. The pastor knew that the student was wrestling with doubt about the existence of God and said to him, “John, you know all of us wonder at some point if it's all real, or not. For example, there are quite a few stories in the Bible that are just hard to believe — Jonah and the whale and all that.” John smiled and said, “No, that's not my problem. What I wonder about is how God could care about me. I've done some really bad things and have had some really bad things done to me. I just can't understand the concept of forgiveness.” There you have it. Doubts about the faith come from all directions. While one person cannot bring herself to believe in miracles, another cannot forgive himself for the wrong things he's done — and can't fathom how God could. Thomas Jefferson actually cut out the miraculous sections of the Bible. He couldn't believe in what some would call the God of the Bible. Francis Crick, the co-discoverer of DNA, thought that Christianity was just a collection of mythical stories. And what about those who want to see the proof? They like evidence and feel a need to make an intellectual case for our faith. The New Testament writer, Luke, was like that. He wrote in Acts and the gospel of Luke about the importance of eyewitness sightings of Jesus and His miracles. Lots of people debate whether evolution and religion are compatible or not. And this is a big stumbling block to believe for many. We all believe something, but our minds can struggle at times to grasp the big stuff, the infinite universe, while for others who doubt, the struggle is more internal. They're so grieved by their own sin they can't accept that God could love them. Maybe the most famous verse in the Bible is John 3:16, which says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” However, few quote the next verse, which says, “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.” It isn't God's wish to condemn you. Instead, He loves you and wants to give you assurance that life is more than struggle and molecules. Whether you're looking for evidence to believe the Bible, or you just need to know that God loves you, try not to focus too much on your objections. Own them, but just tell God, as a child would, that you're struggling to understand it all. Will you pray with us? Father, your grace saves us from a life of struggle with sin, and we are accepted by you. Thank you for putting up with our up and down faith. In Jesus' name, amen.

From Dust to Glory – The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the SonEcclesiastes 3:16-4:6 | King's Chapel Live StreamWhen we look honestly at the world around us, we often see injustice where there should be justice and wickedness where there should be righteousness. Ecclesiastes does not ignore these realities. It faces them head on.In Ecclesiastes 3:16 through 4:6, the Preacher reflects on some of the hardest truths about life under the sun. Justice is often corrupted. The righteous are mistreated. The oppressed have no comfort. And both humans and animals return to the dust in death.Yet Scripture does not leave us in despair. The gospel answers each of these painful realities.Where injustice fills the world, the cross becomes the place where our justification is secured. Jesus was treated unjustly so that sinners could be declared righteous before God. Where righteousness seems absent, the perfect righteousness of Christ is given to those who trust in Him.Even death, the great equalizer of humanity, is not the final word. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, death itself is defeated.And for those who feel crushed by the weight of life, Christ meets the oppressed with compassion. He knows suffering. He weeps with those who weep. In Him we find rest for restless hearts and, as Ecclesiastes describes it, a handful of quietness.This message reminds us that while life under the sun can feel heavy and unjust, life with the Son leads from dust to glory.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEcclesiastes 4 sermon, injustice in the Bible, dust to dust sermon, hope in suffering Christianity, King's Chapel Longwood FL, biblical view of oppression, death defeated in Christ, finding rest in Jesus
On March 17th, you are expected to wear green. Not invited. Expected. But in the oldest folklore of the island this holiday claims to celebrate, green was the one color you were warned never to wear. It was the fairy color. The color of the Otherworld. Wearing it was trespass, an invitation to be taken by beings who were older than Christianity and indifferent to its authority. So how did a color of danger become a color of celebration? Tonight we trace the full arc. The fairy prohibition documented in centuries of Irish folklore. The revelation that St. Patrick's actual color was blue, not green. The moment Irish rebels adopted the dangerous color as their flag. The medieval Green Man carvings in churches across Europe that nobody can explain. And the modern St. Patrick's Day, a diaspora invention that turned a quiet holy day into a global compulsion ritual enforcing the wearing of a color the old warnings said to avoid.

It's St. Patrick's day this week. A day that commemorates the Saint and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland. It celebrates the Irish luck that people feel because of the occasion. And while many of us count our blessings, and have moments of feeling lucky, there are those who seem absolutely cursed. Some people just can't catch a break, and suffer through with a string of terrible luck. Is it just a coincidence? Or was something done to anger the spirits? Either way when death comes knocking, you better hope your luck hasn't run out. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
