Toby and Gabe remember beloved brother in Christ Voddie Baucham, who passed away at age 56. The conversation transitions into examining the dangerous inconsistencies plaguing American discourse, using Voddie's own words about liberals weaponizing terms like "freedom" while supporting abortion. Through it all, it's clear to see that what Voddie boldly taught in his life again and again will continue to be true, that being the importance of biblical consistency in a world of competing worldviews. A full tribute show honoring Voddie Baucham will air next week when Knox returns. Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com"

In this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe welcomes Larry Taunton, author and columnist with bylines in USA Today, The Atlantic, Spectator, CNN and beyond, to discuss the critical battle over education in America. Known for debating leading atheists and Muslims including Christopher Hitchens, Taunton brings his sharp analysis and hard-won perspective on faith, culture, and politics to examine why homeschooling has become essential for Christian families. The conversation explores Taunton's journey from military base public schools to becoming a homeschooling advocate after witnessing the radicalization happening in elite preparatory schools 30 years ago. Taunton emphasizes that youth are looking for meaning and mission - and when parents don't provide it, kids will find it in destructive ideologies.

In this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe and Toby address the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk and deliver a wake-up call to the American church. They argue that the church has catastrophically failed in its duty as shepherds, receiving an "F minus" grade for allowing wolves to infiltrate education systems while pastors refuse to warn their congregations about the dangers of public schools. They critique the humanistic unity message being promoted in response to Kirk's murder, explaining how this false religion, which elevates humanity rather than God as the ultimate standard, actually breeds the very violence it claims to oppose. The conversation takes a hard turn toward biblical truth, with the hosts drawing from 2 Corinthians 6 to emphasize that there can be no unity between light and darkness, between Christ and those who hate Him. They challenge the "thou shalt be nice" mentality that has captured much of American Christianity, calling instead for believers to recognize the fundamental war between Christianity and humanism that has raged for over 150 years.

In this episode of Crosspolitic Toby, Knox, and Gabe dive into a recent Institute for Family Studies report documenting America's "sex recession" - revealing that young adults aged 18-29 are having significantly less sex than previous generations, with sexlessness doubling since 2010. While initially seeming positive (less unmarried sex), it only takes exploring the deeper cultural implications to realize otherwise. With declining birth rates now below 1.6, reduced social interaction among young people, and a generation rewired by smartphones and social media since 2010, the discussion reveals how this trend points to broader issues of isolation, lack of real-world relationships, and a culture that has lost sight of biblical sexuality and marriage.

In this episode of CrossPolitic Toby, Knox, and Gabe welcome back Gary DeMar, president of American Vision, to discuss "The Great Debate: Does God Exist?". The book serves as a reading and analysis of the legendary 1985 Bahnsen-Stein debate. DeMar explains why this 40th anniversary examination of the debate remains relevant today, highlighting how Greg Bahnsen's presuppositional apologetic approach completely dismantled Gordon Stein's atheistic arguments by forcing him to confront his own philosophical assumptions. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into eschatology, addressing the public perception of a "falling out" between DeMar and the CrossPolitic guys over theological differences. The conversation ultimately comes around to the substantive discussion about the resurrection of the dead, the physical return of Christ, and The Final Judgment.

In this episode of Crosspolitic, we sat down with Dr. Steve Turley, known as the Patriot Professor, to discuss his new book "America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom" and the global rise of faith-based traditionalism. Dr. Turley argues that we're witnessing the collapse of the 300-year liberal secular era and the emergence of a new golden age rooted in nation, culture, custom, tradition, and faith. The conversation explores how this civilizational populism is manifesting through the rediscovery of manhood, the renewal of family structures, and the rise of decentralized networks that bypass legacy media. Dr. Turley shares encouraging data showing men are returning to faith at unprecedented rates and discusses how the current cultural moment presents an opportunity for Christians to build, lead, and transform their communities.

In this episode of CrossPolitic, hosts Gabe Knox and Toby sit down with real estate experts Jordan Clemans and Chris Carpenter from Story Real Estate to tackle the harsh realities of today's housing market. With interest rates at 6.5%, median home prices around $400,000 nationwide, and the average first-time homebuyer now 38 years old (compared to 22 in the 1950s), the American dream of homeownership feels increasingly out of reach. The guys break down how government intervention, Federal Reserve policies, and inflated expectations have created a perfect storm that's pricing out an entire generation. But it's not all doom and gloom. Jordan and Chris present a practical three-step framework for building generational wealth through real estate. The conversation also dives into Moscow's local housing challenges, the failure of government "affordable housing" solutions, and why community-based approaches work better than top-down bureaucratic fixes.

This is where you find out how well you did in the early years. Ages 9-14 are when your kids start "pedaling the bike" themselves—and you'll quickly discover if they learned balance or if you need to grab the handlebars again. They're big enough to argue back, smart enough to ask "why," and awkward enough to make you question everything. Most parents get fearful during this stage, but we're here to give you biblical wisdom for navigating the logic stage. This episode gives you the tools to disciple (not just survive) your pre-teen. Because this isn't just about getting through—it's about raising covenant kids who love Jesus. Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com

Trump’s new religious liberty order isn’t just a policy shift—it’s a cultural permission slip. In this episode, the guys lay out why now is the most strategic time in a generation to start a business, plant a church, or build something that lasts. With 10,000 baby boomers retiring a day, and the Overton window swinging wide open, Christians have a window to reclaim territory our apathy gave away. We break down how to seize this moment without waiting for permission, what faithful entrepreneurship looks like in a post-COVID economy, and why the church must stop outsourcing courage. Don’t waste this presidency. Don’t wait for “someday.” The time to build is now. Fight Laugh Feast 2025 Conference (October 16-18, Nashville) - Register HERE: https://flfnetwork.com
