Dr. Rex M. Rogers is the former president of Cornerstone University and, subsequent to that, of SAT-7 USA. He is the author and voice of his podcast called Discerning What Is Best with Dr Rex M Rogers. In his podcast, Rex applies unchanging biblical principles in our rapidly changing world and provides a very helpful Christian worldview of current issues and everyday life. His books include Be One of God's Unlikely Leaders—Live With Focus, Get Things Done, Gambling: Don't Bet On It, Christian Liberty: Living for God in a Changing Culture, and, most recently, "We Hold These Truths"—Responsible Christian Patriotism. Learn more about Rex at www.rexmrogers.com. In this podcast, Rex helps us better understand the ungodly trends that have been impacting our nation in recent years and how, apart from God's people choosing to rise up and courageously lead by sharing the truth in love to all aspects of our culture, we are heading to a very bleak future. It's clear that only the nation with virtuous citizens who are seeking to live lives pleasing to God can truly be given liberty by their government. Otherwise, due to man's sinful nature, government will be required to grow more powerful and controlling in its attempt to preserve a degree of peace and safety. Rex also shares how all leaders—including Christian pastors—need a degree of loving but truthful accountability to keep them from going "off the rails" with hubris and/or other sinful issues.

Christina Hello, everyone, I'm Christina Darnell, the managing editor of MinistryWatch. Welcome to the MinistryWatch podcast. In today's extra episode, I talk with Warren Smith about some news items that are slightly (even significantly) outside of our normal charity and philanthropy “beat.” So, Warren, what's up first?  Warren William Bennett famously said, “The plural of anecdotes is not data.” Journalists who write about religion often forget that reality. Christina The latest example came from Carson Daly of the Today Show. He wants us to believe that young people are packing Catholic Churches, and they are leading a Catholic resurgence in this country. But you're not buying it. Warren I'm not. The data tell a different story. I turned to the 2023–24 Pew Research Center Religious Landscape Study, based on nearly 37,000 randomly selected American adults, for a reality check. Among its findings: About 19 percent of U.S. adults identify as Catholic, unchanged since 2014 — but well below historical levels. Even more telling: 43 percent of Americans raised Catholic no longer identify as Catholic. Only 1.5 percent of American adults have become Catholic after being raised in another religion or with no religion. Catholics have experienced the largest net losses of any major Christian tradition through religious switching. Christina What about young people? That seemed to be the focus of the Carson Daly piece. Warren It was, but even among young people, the data don't support that conclusion. Among Americans ages 18–24, 12 percent have left Catholicism, while only 1 percent have converted into it. Pew concluded there is “no clear evidence” of a nationwide religious revival among young adults. Christina Why has this revival narrative been so persistent. We've been seeing it in the Protestant church as well. Warren Journalists want to find unusual stories. The slow secularization of religion over the past 50 years is not unusual. It's been told, and journalists are looking for a new story. As the old saying, “Dog bites man” is not a story. “Man bites dog” is a story. As for the Catholic resurgence story? Well, to torture the metaphor: “That dog won't hunt.” Carson Daly might be able to find a parish whose young adult Mass grows from 50 to 400 people, but that does not make up for the thousands of parishes experiencing gradual (and sometimes significant) decline. Christina Years ago, David Letterman had a routine that he called “Stupid Pet Tricks.” The first story we did, plus the next one, might qualify this episode of the podcast for its own “Stupid Media Tricks” segment. Warren You're right. This week saw another significant media story that caused me to wonder. In this case, veteran National Public Radio Supreme Court reporter Nina Totenberg wrote a story that Justice Samuel Alito had retired. Christina And, to be clear, Justice Alito has not retired. Warren That's right. But the story that he had retired made it through NPR's editing process and onto the website before someone discovered the mistake. And, of course, if it makes it to one website, the algorithms soon have it everywhere. Christina About an hour after publication, NPR retracted the story, issued a correction, and apologized. But the damage had been done. Warren To be fair, the damage was not severe – except, perhaps, to the credibility of NPR. But it does provide a lesson in how modern media work. Charlie Warzel, writing for The Atlantic, does a fascinating post-mortem on the episode, saying the error highlights several habits of modern journalism that are pathological. Among them: “That a breakneck news cycle is forcing even the best reporters and editors to move too fast, that modern beat reporting itself has become too consumed with being first to report stories.” Warzel's story is a smart look at how the journalistic sausage is made. I recommend it. You can find a link in today's show notes. Christina Our next story is also a media story, of sorts. Warren I had not thought of it that way, but I think you're right. Our friend Joseph Slife forwarded me a story that Michigan's Cornerstone University was offering a degree that could be completed “100%” on a smartphone. Christina Warren, did you check the date on that story. Are you sure it's not an April Fools Day prank? Warren I did check, because that was my first thought. Alas, it is not. According to The College Fix, “Cornerstone University, located in Grand Rapids, is offering an associate degree and bachelor's degree in strategic business management along with a master's in organizational leadership through its new program. Students pay a fixed rate of $2,400 per four-month term or $3,750 for graduate level work. The intended audience is working adults.” Christina That's pretty cheap, and – as a working adult – I couldn't imagine trying to get to a nearby college a couple of nights a week for classes. Warren I get that. 100  percent. I am not a Luddite. I use my iPhone for a lot of things – including learning. YouTube videos have helped me learn new licks on the guitar, have helped me repair my toilet, and have helped me gain new insights into the human condition. Christina But learning via iPhone is a different experience than face-to-face, in classroom learning. Warren That's exactly right. Especially from a wise and well-qualified teacher, in a community with other learners who are grappling with the same ideas — both in class, but also around the dinner table in the dining hall. Christina So what you're saying is that virtual learning is not worthless. It is just different. Warren I do not oppose colleges offering programs virtually, but to offer accredited degrees that carry all the prestige and credentialing power of an in-person degree…well…that is just bearing false witness. Christina Let's conclude today with news that the Texas State Board of Education passed a new required reading list that includes Bible passages. Warren On Friday, June 26, the Republican-controlled board voted 9-5-1 to approve a first-of-its-kind list that will affect more than 5 million public school students. Required readings for younger students include illustrated Old Testament stories such as Noah's Ark and David and Goliath. By upper elementary school, students read New Testament passages about Jesus' teachings and parables. Middle school and high school lessons pair scriptural themes with classic literature. Christina Most Christian groups are praising this decision. But you say…not so fast. Warren I will have to say that net-net I am glad they are reading the Bible in the classroom. You simply cannot understand most of Western literature – from Dante to Shakespeare to Faulkner to Eliot – without some biblical literacy. And I know that there are a lot of great public school teachers who will handle these texts with care and respect. Christina I sense a big fat…however…coming on. Warren Ha. So I'll say it.  However… I do wonder what will happen when you put scripture into the hands of militantly secularized teachers, and you give them a platform to air their grievances. They may be forced to read the bible, but what if the teacher spends the rest of the class presenting arguments for its unreliability? Christina So are you opposed to reading the Bible in classrooms? Warren Absolutely not. I'm very much in favor of it, but I do wonder how it's going to be taught. I would recommend that parents in Texas remain vigilant. Time will tell whether this was a positive innovation for the classroom, or one full of unintended consequences. Until then, though, I know that “God's word will not return void.” So, I trust that the positive impact of scripture reading will be greater than any efforts to undermine it.

Is higher education facing a credibility crisis? In this episode of Main Street Matters, Elaine Parker sits down with Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riano, President of Cornerstone University, to discuss Harvard's controversial decision to cap A grades, the growing problem of grade inflation, declining public trust in colleges, and how artificial intelligence is transforming education. Dr. Moreno-Riano explains why grade inflation may be undermining the value of college degrees, how an entitlement culture has impacted academic rigor, and why universities must focus on preparing students for careers and life—not just handing out diplomas. The conversation also explores AI's role in education, workforce readiness, soaring tuition costs, and how innovative institutions like Cornerstone are adapting to the future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mises Senior Fellow Alex J. Pollock explains how the post-1971 “Nixonian” paper-money world makes the Fed both the engine of inflation and a prop for an oversized state, urging students to see central banking as the hidden arsonist behind booms, busts, and the erosion of their future purchasing power.Recorded at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 1, 2025.

Dr. Jeffery L. Degner explains how an “inflation culture” reshapes marriage, adulthood, and family life for Gen Z and contrasts it with a path of courageous independence, sound saving, and earlier family formation.Recorded at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 1, 2025.

Connor O'Keeffe explains why the New Right's economic populists have adopted a progressive myth of “laissez-faire gone wrong,” and instead shows how a century of inflation, bailouts, regulation, and managed trade has rigged the system against younger Americans.Recorded at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 1, 2025.

Dr. Mark Brandly examines what's genuinely hard and what's overstated about Gen Z's economic situation, arguing that inflation, regulation, and a bloated welfare–bureaucratic state are driving their struggles, and urging students to learn economics and join the fight for liberty.Recorded at Cornerstone University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on November 1, 2025.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Jeffery Degner, economist at Cornerstone University and fellow at The Mises Institute, about the impact of inflation on American society. He explains how inflation is the artificial expansion of the money supply and is controlled by the Federal Reserve. This leads to higher prices and the business cycle but benefits the wealthiest asset holders. He describes the United States as having an ‘inflation culture' and explains how inflation hurts families, working people, and the poor. We explore how it has led to cultural degeneracy, a reliance on debt and credit, rampant consumerism, and other social evils. We discuss the impact of inflation on the church and why Christians should take this issue seriously. Media Referenced:Follow Jeff on X: @DrJeffDegnerInflation and the Family: https://a.co/d/8FvtJdABob Murphy Interview: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ep-215-the-federal-reserve-with-bob-murphy/ The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

This week on the Family Meeting, Krista was joined by Kevin Briggins and Dr. Jeff Degner from Cornerstone University. We reacted to a recent social media post on the CFBU Facebook page where commenters were talking about blending Christianity with socialism—can they coexist? Dr. Degner, an expert in economics from the Mises Institute, unpacks a few of the theological and economic flaws of socialism, drawing from Genesis 1:27-28 to highlight its conflict with biblical principles like private property and human nature. We also talked about the current administration's tariff policies, minimum wage and inflation from a biblical point of view.

In this powerful and intellectually provocative episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads his essay from the Summer 2025 issue of Salvo Magazine, titled “Escape from the Acid Bath: Can Darwinism Support Morality?” Drawing from his broader work in Christian Apologetics (2nd ed.), Dr. Groothuis critically examines the claim that Darwinian evolution can serve as a sufficient foundation for objective morality, contrasting that with the moral implications of a theistic worldview grounded in divine character and design. This essay-style episode surveys the views of prominent atheists such as Daniel Dennett, Karl Marx, Richard Dawkins, and Sam Harris, and demonstrates the internal philosophical weaknesses of moral theories rooted in evolutionary naturalism. Instead, Dr. Groothuis makes a compelling case for Judeo-Christian theism as the only viable foundation for universal moral truths.

In this episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis offers a passionate critique of the current state of online apologetics, prompted by the growing flood of YouTube, Instagram, and podcast-based apologetics influencers. While affirming the good work being done by some leaders, he cautions against the rise of shallow, flashy, and poorly studied content that too often passes for serious Christian defense. Drawing from nearly 50 years of ministry, teaching, and academic publishing, Dr. Groothuis outlines 12 core competencies every public apologist must master — from a well-formed biblical worldview to knowledge of logic, philosophy, Scripture, world religions, and more. This episode is both a sobering warning and a visionary charge to anyone who desires to contend for the faith in today’s media-saturated culture.

In this extended and moving episode of Truth Tribe, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads his essay Autobiography as Apologetic, originally published in the Christian Research Journal. This personal narrative recounts his journey from spiritual seeking and philosophical skepticism to a lifelong commitment to Christ and Christian apologetics. With clarity and honesty, Dr. Groothuis shares how God pursued him through dreams, conversations, mystical encounters, academic trials, and literature. He recounts the influences of thinkers like Kierkegaard, Schaeffer, and C.S. Lewis, the love and editing brilliance of his late wife Rebecca, and how Christian truth took hold of his mind and heart. This is more than a memoir — it is a testimony to the truth, power, and rationality of the gospel.

In this episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis shares a timely Christian reflection on gambling, prompted by a recent commentary from Al Mohler and cultural attention around the Kentucky Derby. Drawing from a short editorial he originally wrote in response to a proposed state-run gambling initiative in Alaska, Dr. Groothuis explores the moral, philosophical, and spiritual dangers of gambling through the lens of the Christian worldview. From the addictive nature of gambling to the flawed utilitarian logic used to defend it, this episode challenges listeners to examine the ethics of state-sponsored betting, personal responsibility, and trust in divine providence rather than chance.

In this Good Friday edition of Truth Tribe, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads his recently published essay, Without the Resurrection, There Would Be No University. Originally featured by the National Association of Scholars as part of its “Minding the Academy” series, this powerful reflection unpacks how the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only the bedrock of Christianity but also the intellectual and moral foundation of the university system itself. Drawing from Scripture, history, and philosophy, Dr. Groothuis presents a case for why the Christian worldview birthed the university, and why it still matters today. With references to C.S. Lewis, Francis Schaeffer, and Tom Holland, this episode is both an Easter meditation and a cultural apologetic, reminding us that truth, education, and eternal hope are inseparably tied to the risen Christ.

In this follow-up to his Hitchcock review, Dr. Douglas Groothuis offers a sharp and thoughtful worldview critique of the beloved 1989 film Field of Dreams, starring Kevin Costner. While the film presents a moving story of faith, family, and reconciliation, it does so through a distinctly New Age lens — one that subtly replaces the biblical God with the self as the ultimate authority. Drawing from his background in Christian philosophy and apologetics, Dr. Groothuis unpacks the philosophical assumptions behind the film’s famous line, “If you build it, he will come”, and contrasts them with the truth of biblical revelation, divine transcendence, and eternal hope. For anyone learning to engage media with discernment, this short essay offers a powerful example of Christian film analysis in action.

In this special episode of Truth Tribe, Dr. Douglas Groothuis reads an original essay composed as a tool for Christian students and truth seekers alike: a topical compilation of biblical passages titled Spiritual Realities Behind Worldly Philosophies and False Religions. Originally prepared while teaching philosophy at Colorado Christian University, the piece is a Scripture-saturated warning and encouragement for believers engaging with false ideologies — whether religious or irreligious. Dr. Groothuis underscores that the battle for truth is not merely intellectual but deeply spiritual. Listeners are exhorted to approach their studies and worldview formation with prayerfulness, discernment, and unwavering trust in the authority of Scripture.

The Renaissance of Academic ApologeticsOver the past 40 years, we’ve witnessed a remarkable resurgence in academic apologetics. Influential philosophers like Alvin Plantinga and William Lane Craig have made significant strides in defending Christian theism through rigorous analytical philosophy. This renaissance is not just about arguments; it’s about training the next generation of apologists. Institutions like the Society for Christian Philosophers and various seminaries are equipping students with the tools they need to engage thoughtfully with contemporary challenges to the faith. Cultural Apologetics: A New ApproachTraditional apologetics has focused on arguments for and against Christianity, but we must also consider the cultural landscape. Cultural apologetics seeks to establish a Christian voice within society, addressing the moral and intellectual climate that often hinders people from considering the Christian message. As Paul Hume articulates, it’s about making Christianity not just true but also satisfying. This approach is essential for reaching a generation that is increasingly skeptical and disengaged. The Role of Apologetics in Spiritual FormationApologetics should not be an isolated discipline; it must be integrated into the fabric of Christian life. Families, churches, and educational institutions should prioritize teaching apologetics as part of spiritual formation and evangelism. This means actively engaging with opposing worldviews and fostering a culture of inquiry and defense of the faith. By doing so, we prepare ourselves and our communities to articulate the hope we have in Christ. As we navigate the complexities of our world, it’s crucial to remember that the future of apologetics is ultimately in God’s hands. We are called to work diligently and smartly, making the case for our faith compellingly and lovingly.
