Podcasts about convictions

In this week's episode, Krystal is joined by staff writer, Beth White, as they discussed how Christians can form and hold to strong theological convictions. We all know that Christians are called to be set apart from the world. But how do we do that practically? And how do we form convictions in a way that honors the Lord and others?

Cognitive scientist Steve Sloman joins us to discuss The Cost of Conviction, exploring how sacred values shape our decisions and why they often lead to polarization. From zealotry to the social roots of belief, Steve reveals why convictions are more borrowed than built—and what this means for hot-button debates in politics, public health, and business. Most importantly, he shares how reframing conversations can reduce outrage, build humility, and open the door to better dialogue across divides.

Acts 15 gives us a front row seat to a sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas over John Mark. Pastor Abbie shows how even mission-minded leaders collide when deep convictions pull in different directions. Rather than avoiding conflict, we learn to name the roots beneath our reactions, recognize the gift in our differences, clarify roles and expectations, and keep our lives anchored to Jesus and his mission.You will hear how God still advanced the gospel through their split and later brought reconciliation, and you will be invited to practice the same posture in your everyday relationships. If life is too short and the gospel is too big to let bitterness win, how do we handle conflict and hand it to Jesus? Press play for honest teaching, practical questions, and hope for healing.Bible references usedActs 15:36-41Acts 13:13Acts 13:1-3Acts 14:21-22Acts 1:82 Corinthians 5:201 Corinthians 9:6Colossians 4:102 Timothy 4:11Proverbs 27:17

We finish off our "Lasting Legacy" series, discussing 3 convictions a legacy builder has, based on the life of Barnabas described in the book of Acts.

What happens when your Christian convictions collide with today's cultural realities? How do you love people while staying true to biblical principles? And what do you do when you're too exhausted from ministry to actually live out your faith? Marc and Fuller tackle some of the hardest questions facing Christians today while driving to a wedding in Peru, Indiana. From the RTC Facebook group, listeners asked about everything from spiritual armor to same-sex weddings to passing faith down to the next generation. You'll hear Marc explain why the "belt of truth" keeps your pants up (literally and spiritually), while Fuller admits he's still working on that whole "gospel of peace" thing. They dive deep into the messy reality of LGBTQ wedding invitations - should you go or not? Marc shares a personal story about drawing loving boundaries, while Fuller wrestles with the ministry implications of saying yes or no. But maybe the most honest moment comes when they open up about their current faith struggles. Marc's trying to figure out how to raise kids who own their faith instead of just inheriting it. Fuller's battling the exhaustion that comes with being an elder - turns out spiritual leadership can actually make your faith harder, not easier. No easy answers here, just two dudes being real about the complicated business of living out biblical convictions in 2025. Join the conversation and see if you relate to their struggles. Recorded on the road - because sometimes the best conversations happen between destinations. ––– Learn more about RTC online at https://realtalkchristianpodcast.com/

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig into Trump's bold move to federalize Washington, D.C. under the Home Rule Act, bringing crime rates down overnight and flipping the narrative on leftist protestors. They break down street interviews with D.C. residents, shocking union statistics, and the symbolism of Trump's September 11 deadline. From FBI arrests under Kash Patel to pardons gone wrong under Biden, the hosts connect the dots on how manipulated data and weaponized agencies are finally being exposed. They also cover Tulsi Gabbard's crackdown on Russiagate operatives, ODNI cuts, the IRS probe into the Clinton Foundation, and the latest developments in the Epstein files. International intrigue enters with a Ukrainian arrest tied to Nord Stream and speculation about Trump's negotiations with Putin and Zelensky. Packed with hard truths, sharp analysis, and a few laughs, this episode shows the swamp is running out of time.

A call for an overhaul of the Clean Slate Act. Last week tutor Timothy Fisher was sentenced to four years and five months in prison for sexual abuse charges. He had historical indecency convictions but was able to pass multiple police vets and become registered as a teacher. Despite receiving a red stamp warning from police, the council renewed his practising certificate after receiving an investigation report from its Complaints Assessment Committee and another clear police vet. Retired Law Professor Bill Hodge told Mike Hosking there should be an expansion of what crimes aren't allowed to be swept under the carpet. He says the act was designed for minor offences, like marijuana possession. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I want to jump right in and take you through the remarkable and historic courtroom drama of Donald Trump's past few days as we stand here on August 1, 2025. With legal developments swirling on multiple fronts, Trump's name remains front and center in American headlines, and the cascade of rulings, verdicts, and appeals is still shaping the nation's political landscape.First, let's talk about the New York trial that made history earlier this year. In Manhattan, in the case of The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, a grand jury indicted Trump on thirty-four counts of falsifying business records. This trial kicked off on April 15, 2024, and by May 30, a Manhattan jury reached a decision that shook the nation: Donald Trump was found guilty on all counts. On January 10, 2025, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Trump to an unconditional discharge, meaning no jail time or probation, but the felony convictions will remain—a symbolic but significant mark in legal and presidential history. Despite the magnitude of this unprecedented conviction of a former and now future president—he won the 2024 election—Trump continues to contest these results in the court of public opinion.Meanwhile, there's been major movement in federal court as well. Down in the Southern District of Florida, Trump and two aides, Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, faced a sweeping indictment over handling of classified documents after leaving office. But in a stunning twist on July 15, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charges, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith had been improperly appointed and funded. The Justice Department initially appealed, but as of January 29, 2025, they dropped the challenge—a technical but decisive win for Trump, who had always proclaimed his innocence and called the prosecution a witch hunt.Over in Washington, D.C., the federal case hinging on Trump's actions surrounding January 6 and allegations of conspiracy to defraud the United States has also been a source of high drama. Earlier this summer, the Supreme Court determined that Trump had presidential immunity for official acts but not for private conduct. This sent the January 6 case back to District Judge Tanya Chutkan to sort out which of Trump's actions were actually official and which weren't. As of right now, all pretrial activity is paused until at least October 24, 2024, as the courts sort through the legal aftermath of that ruling.Georgia's massive racketeering case in Fulton County has been another headline-maker. Originally, District Attorney Fani Willis was leading the charge, but in December 2024, the Georgia Court of Appeals disqualified Willis after fierce legal battles. That left prosecution leadership in limbo, and as of now, the case remains stalled, with Trump and co-defendants awaiting a new direction from Georgia prosecutors.Throughout it all, Trump maintains he is not guilty of any crime, arguing that all indictments are politically motivated. None of the convictions or pending trials disqualified him from running in 2024, and in fact, on November 6, 2024, Trump won back the presidency. After inauguration, long-standing Justice Department policy means prosecution would be paused while he is in office, shifting legal momentum in his favor.Thank you for tuning in to this whirlwind court update on Donald Trump.

What if we're both right? Some people like things to be tidy. We like a neat workspace, an orderly flow of traffic, and a theology with no loose ends. We want right to be right and wrong to be wrong, always and for everybody. Well, God seems to have left some ambiguities just to challenge people like us. On the fringes of His great tapestry, the "tie that binds" may look more like a stray thread. Here's Jim in Romans, chapter 14.

It's the carnivores vs. the vegetarians! The early Christians in Rome had a problem. Some wanted to honor God by abstaining from meat and enjoying holy days; others wanted to honor God by doing the reverse. Apparently there wasn't a king-like human authority in the church... in Rome... who could decide the matter for them. To this day similar disagreements continue to give Christians reasons to either judge each other, or accept our differences.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comI Corinthians 10Israel's history serves as a cautionary tale for Christians. Despite experiencing God's blessings and deliverance, many Israelites fell into idolatry and immorality, leading to judgment. Paul urges the Corinthians to avoid similar pitfalls, warning against overconfidence and reminding them that no temptation is beyond God's help. He promises that God will provide a way of escape in every trial. Believers are encouraged to be mindful of their choices, particularly concerning eating food sacrificed to idols, and prioritizing the spiritual needs of others. Convictions of conscience hold great importance to God, and Christians must honor their own while also being considerate of others. Ultimately, Paul calls on them to do everything for God's glory, avoiding offense and seeking to build up others in faith through the demonstration of Christ's selfless love.Just as Israel crossed the Red Sea, we have been freed from bondage through the waters of baptism. Our leader is Jesus, who is greater than Moses. He is our source of spiritual nourishment and sustenance. However, like Israel, we can lose our deep relationship with God if we succumb to idolatry, immorality, or a lack of trust in the Lord. We must remain humble, reliant on God, and confident that He will strengthen us during times of temptation. God's people must move forward in faith together. Sharing in the Lord means we are all on this journey as one body. We must be patient, considerate of each other's conscience and needs, and devoted to helping one another stay saved. Eternal God, we know You led Israel out of slavery and toward the land of promise. We have read how many lost focus and succumbed to the impulses of the flesh, failing to receive the reward. Help us resist those temptations, support one another, and humbly rely on Your faithfulness to keep us strong. We vow to flee idolatry and dedicate our lives to You and Your people. Please help us cultivate the humility needed to deny ourselves and serve fellow believers. Guide us to do all things to glorify You and assist others in finding salvation in You. Thought Questions: -       Why did so many Israelites fall in the wilderness after being saved by God? What do you learn from their tragic example? -       “Let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.” Why is pride so dangerous when it comes to facing the temptation to sin? -       In consideration of their neighbor, some did not eat certain meats. What liberties would you be willing to forfeit for the sake of Christians?

In Episode 115, we discussed the potential conviction "sealing" law that was going to take effect in July 2025. This year, the General Assembly made big changes to that system and it will now go into effect in July 2026. Today we talk about the new "sealing" system.

The All Local for July 21

Continuing His warnings to His disciples about the cost and extremity of discipleship to Christ, Jesus warns His followers to vigorously avoid causing stumbling to others and to themselves. To learn the tutelage of Christ is to follow the example of Christ, to live a life that is a “living sacrifice” (Rom 12:1–2) and to consider one's own life as loss for the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus their Lord (Phil 3:8).

La question de cet épisode est posée par un chrétien dont certaines positions doctrinales ont évolué et divergent désormais de celles de son église, dans laquelle il enseigne. Préoccupé par une question d'honnêteté, il s'interroge — et interroge Florent — sur sa légitimité à continuer d'enseigner, voire même à rester membre, dans une église où il pourrait être amené à taire certaines convictions. Une distinction entre l'essentiel et le secondaire dans les convictions personnelles est-elle nécessaire ?

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.

Following his conviction on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution, Sean "Diddy" Combs faces a sentencing range influenced by federal guidelines and the specifics of his case. While each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, legal experts anticipate a sentence closer to the lower end of the spectrum. Prosecutors have suggested a sentence between 51 to 63 months (approximately 4 to 5 years), considering factors such as the nature of the offenses and Combs's conduct . In contrast, the defense posits that a sentence between 21 to 27 months is more appropriate, emphasizing Combs's lack of prior criminal history and the absence of convictions on more severe charges like racketeering or sex trafficking .The judge holds significant discretion in determining the final sentence, taking into account the pre-sentence investigation report and arguments from both the prosecution and defense. Factors such as time served since Combs's arrest in September 2024 and his conduct during the trial may also influence the decision. While the possibility of a lengthy sentence exists, many legal analysts believe that a sentence exceeding five years is unlikely, given the circumstances and the charges for which Combs was convicted .to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy Could Get 20 Year Prison Sentence but Will Likely Get Less - Business Insider

Highlights from Talkback. William Crawley and guests discuss the news headlines.

What if moral failure isn't just a personal weakness… but something we've helped create?We've seen it too many times: another Christian leader falls. Another headline. Another apology video. But what if the root problem isn't just lust or lack of accountability… what if it's the culture we've built?In this episode, we sit down with Kris Vallotton — a leader who's walked with pastors, pioneers, and fallen giants behind the scenes — to ask the hard questions: • How do you actually prevent moral failure, not just respond to it? • What are the warning signs no one talks about until it's too late? • What kind of church culture actually fosters purity and integrity? • And when someone does fall… what does real restoration look like?Whether you're a young leader, a disillusioned churchgoer, or someone who's been burned by moral failure up close, this conversation is raw, honest, and necessary.This isn't about blame. It's about building a church culture where integrity can thrive before things fall apart.

Peter's vision forced him to confront his deeply held religious traditions. God was doing something new—and it required Peter to let go of personal preferences and embrace the full scope of God's mission. The lesson? We must hold our customs loosely and God's Word tightly, remembering that gospel unity transcends cultural norms.
