Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Metaxas

This is an audio essay from Process This, my Substack — head over there if you want more essays like this one, and subscribe if you want them delivered to you. In this one, I'm going deep on a question that sounds biographical but is actually theological: how did Dietrich Bonhoeffer — the man who stood at a lectern in 1933, surrounded by Nazi-pin-wearing theology students, and told them that the historical Jewish particularity of Jesus Christ was "the last truth separating the churches from barbarism" — how did that man become the patron saint of Christian nationalism? The short answer is Eric Metaxas, a bestselling biography, and a fabricated quote. But the real answer is older and more dangerous than any of that, because what Metaxas did to Bonhoeffer is exactly what the German Christians did to Jesus — they turned a Person into a Principle, kept the symbol, and evicted the flesh. Bonhoeffer had a word for it in 1933. He called it Docetism. And here's the thing that should take your breath away: his Christology is not just the subject of the abuse — it is its diagnosis. I'll also tell you about the five-minute rant I recorded and deleted, what Bonhoeffer's Christmas 1942 letter to the resistance said about contempt, and why I think the most important question he leaves us with is not primarily about Eric Metaxas — it's the one he put to those sweat-soaked students, and puts to us now: which are you following — the Person or the Principle?

And, what difference does it make? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This Lenten class ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠begins where all of Dr. John Dominic Crossan's has work begins: with history. What was actually happening in Galilee in the 20s CE? What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message? Only by understanding what Jesus' parables meant then can we wrestle with what they might demand of us now. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The class is donation-based, including 0, so join, get info, and join up here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ This podcast is a ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Homebrewed Christianity ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠production.

  Host: Dan Panetti   Some claim that Jesus wasn't the Messiah because they judge a rabbi (Jewish teacher) by his followers. To that I would say two things. First, be careful about ignoring the truth of a message because of the messengers. But, secondly, I would say, ok…let's evaluate the impact that Jesus has had on the lives of countless individuals and their communities and cultures over time.   A few resources to help you wrestle with these concepts:   How Christianity Changed the World by Alvin Schmidt. Description of the book from Amazon: Western civilization is becoming increasingly pluralistic, secularized, and biblically illiterate. Many people today have little sense of how their lives have benefited from Christianity's influence, often viewing the church with hostility or resentment. How Christianity Changed the World is a topically arranged Christian history for Christians and non-Christians. Grounded in solid research and written in a popular style, this book is both a helpful apologetic tool in talking with unbelievers and a source of evidence for why Christianity deserves credit for many of the humane, social, scientific, and cultural advances in the Western world in the last two thousand years. Hopefully this conversation is a powerful reminder that others are evaluating what is important to you by looking at your life. If you're a follower of Jesus Christ, I hope that others can see that you've spent time with Him today!   Amazing Grace is both a movie and a book (well, it's a song, too, written by John Newton). The book Amazing Grace by Eric Metaxas is an outstanding biography about the life and impact of William Wilberforce, credited with the elimination of slavery in England. The movie Amazing Grace (2006) stars Ioan Gruffard and Benedict Cumberbatch - find it on your favorite streaming video service.   Braveheart (1995) - incredible film starring Mel Gibson as William Wallace. Find it and watch it.

Eric Metaxas sits down with Naomi Wolf to unpack the Socrates in the City gala, the crisis of Western civilization, and why the world they glimpsed that night is worth fighting for. Together they trace how cultural elites, media, and global institutions have undermined family, faith, and free speech for decades, and why ordinary people are finally waking up in America and Europe. From the sexual revolution and feminist debates to immigration, Islamism, antisemitism, and the breakdown of civil society, this is a sober but hopeful call to defend truth, beauty, and ordered liberty while there is still time.

Eric Metaxas welcomes Pastor Greg Laurie to talk about the viral moment when President Trump told a wedding crowd that Eric is the one who will get him into heaven and what that really means. The conversation turns to the powerful evangelistic crusade Greg just held at UVU in Utah, at the very place where Charlie Kirk was murdered, and how thousands responded to the gospel. Eric and Greg also address the shocking rise of antisemitism, the modern miracle of Israel, and why this moment feels like the last days. Along the way they talk about LDS friends in Utah, revival, bold evangelism, and what courage looks like for believers right now.Sponsors:MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/ten Boom Coffee— Save 10% with code ERIC: https://tenboom.coffee/Christian Solidarity International: https://csi-usa.org/metaxas/Legal Help Center - Get Free Legal Help Today: https://www.legalhelpcenter.com/Help Save Lives in Israel Today: https://www.savinglifeisrael.org/

Eric Metaxas welcomes General Michael Flynn to discuss the deep state, the state of justice, and why he believes the Trump administration has not delivered the accountability many Americans expected. Flynn argues that Pam Bondi was the wrong choice for attorney general, explains why he has called for Sidney Powell or another strong leader to take that position, and warns that the Department of Justice is still filled with people who oppose the America First agenda. He breaks down the danger of the so-called “Seditious Six” letter from retired officers, describes what he believes is a coordinated color revolution, and calls this a very dangerous moment for the country. Flynn claims Barack Obama led the Russia hoax, insists that Trump must personally take responsibility for pursuing justice, and says America is now one election away from losing everything. He concludes that election integrity and real accountability are the two non-negotiable priorities if the republic is going to survive.

In this episode, Eric Metaxas reveals the surprising true story behind the Pilgrims and Squanto — a part of American history most people were never told. We talk about God's providence, the first Thanksgiving, the role of faith in survival, and how the real story of Squanto has been erased from mainstream education. This conversation highlights why America's origins are deeply connected to the Bible, Christianity, and divine intervention.

Eric Metaxas — Letter to America, Part Two In today's powerful episode, Eric Metaxas delivers the second part of his urgent message to the nation—a heartfelt call for Americans to recognize the spiritual battle shaping our present moment. Building on Part One, Metaxas highlights how cultural compromise and moral drift have weakened the foundations of our country, and he reminds believers of their vital role in responding with courage and conviction. He challenges the Church to stand firm, speak truth boldly, and resist the pressure to remain silent in the face of darkness. Metaxas emphasizes that our hope is not found in politics or personalities but in returning to God with humility, prayer, and renewed obedience. This message is both a warning and an encouragement: America's future depends on God's people rising to the moment. Faithfulness today opens the door for restoration tomorrow. As always, Jaggy, Tedi, and I thank you for tuning in and sharing Cat81 Radio—Inspiring Faith and Encouragement Worldwide.

In this compelling message, Eric Metaxas delivers a passionate call for Americans to recognize the moral and spiritual crossroads our nation faces. Drawing on historical insight and biblical truth, he warns that America's freedoms—rooted in faith, virtue, and personal responsibility—are rapidly eroding. Metaxas urges believers to stand firm, speak boldly, and re-embrace the foundational principles that once guided the country's rise. With clarity and conviction, he reminds listeners that silence in the face of cultural decline is itself a dangerous choice. Ultimately, this message challenges Christians to awaken, engage, and courageously defend the truth before it is too late. Jag, Tedi, and I thank you for tuning in!

We are finite creatures serving an infinite God, so we must keep learning and growing. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for a spiritual understanding of God's movements in the earth. We heard from speakers including Pastor John Amanchukwu, Pastor Rob McCoy, Eric Metaxas, and others during the 2025 Culture & Christianity Conference, and Pastor Allen shares some takeaways from their messages. Holiness and courage must take precedence over our happiness and comfort, and we must renew and deepen our respect for the Lord. Christianity demands of us a willingness to sacrifice our lives—so will we say to the Lord, “I'll follow you”? 

Can science prove God exists? To find the answer, we tell the story of a fascinating scientific concept that has atheists shaking in their boots. Along the way, we talk to Eric Metaxas, the New York Times bestselling author of Fish Out of Water: A Search for the Meaning of Life.
