Podcasts about evangelical christians

99% of the Evangelical Christian world gets this wrong, and it's absolutely destroying our families. We've fallen into the trap of thinking of the family in secular terms, instead of looking at the Bible and asking what God's vision was for the family, since HE created it. In this episode I break down 3 of the main critiques against the modern family, and go into the 3 promises of building your family like a TEAM instead of a group of individuals. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 99% Get This Wrong 0:50 The 3 Critiques of the Modern Family 3:49 What Are We Aiming At? 5:29 How Did God Design Family? 12:03 Threefold Promise of the Family Resources Mentioned: FREE "5 Days To Transform Your Family Into A Team" Mini Course: https://familyteams.com/transform --- Follow Family Teams: Facebook: https://facebook.com/famteams Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/familyteams Website: https://www.familyteams.com --- Hi, welcome to the Family Teams podcast!

Our Current Situation Jonathan Parnell Download Acts 1:1-11,In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, 2 until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. 3 He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. 4 And while staying with them he ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me; 5 for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” 6 So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” 9 And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. 10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”Acts 2:1-4,When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. 2 And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. 3 And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.Today, on Pentecost Sunday, it has seemed good to the elders to have a sermon that addresses our current moment. Now, if you've been around for the past few months, you know that we've not ignored our situation — we have tried to ‘keep our eyes on the base' ahead of us, and every now and then we've said things behind this pulpit, and I've written things, to try to guide us through these days. But what makes today different is that I want to address everything a little more ‘on the nose,' as it were. My hope is to be as clear as possible. I want to tell you three realities about our current moment: Where we areWhat we're facingHow we respond And if you're a guest with us this morning, I need to explain that we normally do what's called expositional preaching. It's the central part of our worship, which is the heartbeat of our church. Every Sunday, we open the Bible and preach through a passage of Scripture. My goal as a preacher is to simply tell you what God says. We do that by conviction, because we believe what we most need, and the power to change our lives, is the word of God. And we're in the word today, here in Acts 2, but we're just gonna spend most of our time, not on exposition, but on application. You'll see what I mean. Let's get started.The first reality of our current moment … I want to tell you …1. Where we areRight away, it's this: we are currently in the promised age of the Spirit.We are in the part of redemptive history when the Holy Spirit has been poured out on the people of God. The gospel is advancing. Jesus is building his church — And that's what I tell my grandfather every summer when I seem him on our family trip to North Carolina.Twenty-three years ago, when I believed God was calling me to be a pastor, my grandfather was one of the first persons I told. He is a godly man who has had a deep influence on me, and I try to see him at least once a year. And every summer that I've seen him for the last decade, he always asks me, “Son, how's the church?” And for several years now, the first thing I say is: “Grandaddy, the gospel is advancing. Jesus is building his church.” And he just smiles.Well, this morning, from Acts 2, I wanna tell you the short story of why that's true.The Story of PentecostThis is where the Day of Pentecost comes in. Pentecost is the foundational event in the Book of Acts, and Luke wants us to see the connection between Pentecost and the ministry of Jesus. Look at Acts 1, verse 4. Luke writes, And while staying with them he [Jesus] ordered them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me…”Notice that when Jesus gives his disciples instructions for receiving the Spirit, he starts it by saying “you've heard me talk about this.” Jesus has taught on the Holy Spirit before, and we've heard this teaching! The Holy Spirit is the big topic in the Farewell Discourse, in the Gospel of John. We've heard Jesus say:John 14:16, “… I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth …”John 15:25, “But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.”So as we come into the Book of Acts, we already have an expectation: the Spirit proceeds from the Father — he is the promise of the Father and Jesus will ask and receive from the Father to give the Spirit to us. And so we are ready for this. Now jump over to Acts Chapter 2.Acts 2, verse 1 — it is the Day of Pentecost — 50 days after Jesus's resurrection, about a week and a half after Jesus's ascension. And the disciples have done what Jesus instructed; they had been waiting in Jerusalem; they were altogether, and then verse 2: … suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.The promised Spirit has come!And it leaves the onlookers amazed and perplexed, so Peter ‘stands up' among the disciples to explain what's going on. This is significant: Because Peter had fallen — which we saw last week: in his worst moment he denied Jesus — but he is now restored and standing among his brothers. And, filled with the Holy Spirit, he preaches the best sermon ever. He says that Jesus, who had been crucified, is now raised up, and, verse 33:Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.Notice how this ties it altogether. We know the behind-the-scenes here, because Jesus told us: Jesus has asked the Father for the Spirit, to give him to us. Jesus has received the Spirit from the Father, and now, on this Day of Pentecost, Jesus has poured out the Spirit on his people. This is so significant that it marks the official transition from the old covenant to the new. This moment commences what the apostle Paul calls the “day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). That's another way to talk about the ‘promised age of the Spirit' or the ‘messianic age of salvation.'Witness and OpportunityThis age means at least two things:First, it means that we are Jesus's witnesses.The Spirit who bears witness to Jesus, bears witness to Jesus through us. We've talked about this recently: the work of Jesus in this world has not ended, but it's continued now by his Spirit through his people. We are not of the world, but Jesus has sent us into the world, and he tells us in Acts 1:8, “you will be my witnesses.”We are here to be life and light to a dead and dark world by pointing to Jesus.And secondly, this age of the Spirit means what Peter says in Chapter 2, verse 21 … that right now, because the Spirit is poured out, “everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from; your background, your mistakes, your name — none of it matters. If you call on the name of Jesus Christ — if you ask Jesus to save you, he will save you. This is more amazing than we can begin to comprehend! It is the real headline today — just like it was the real headline yesterday. In fact, this has been the real headline everyday for the past two thousand years! Ever since Acts Chapter 2, the real daily headline is: TRUST CHRIST AND BE SAVED!That is where we are. That is the truest situation we're in. The grace of God is abounding all over this world! And so get in on the grace while you still can. That's where we are. Now, #2 … what we're facing …2. What we're facingIn a word, what we're facing is opposition — which is not strange.First, it's not strange because opposition is a kind of trial — and trials of various kinds are a means that God uses to produces in us steadfastness (James 1:2–4). This is part of the way that God shapes our character and deepens our hope (Romans 5:2–5). This is how he brings to completion the good work he began in us (Philippians 1:6).Another reason opposition is not strange is that, in light of churches throughout history and churches all around the world, countless local churches face opposition. It's just how it is! From the moment the Spirit is poured out in Acts 2, the church advances through both power and resistance.If anything, the opposition and challenges we're facing make us more at home with world Christianity — and more at home with the Book of Acts — than we ever were before.And so, ultimately, church, we're gonna be okay. Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and we will see his face one day, and until then our Heavenly Father watches over us in such a way that not a hair can fall from our heads apart from his will, and in fact, all things must work together for our salvation. Hey, we're blessed! And we need to remind ourselves of this everyday, over and over again. And the Holy Spirit helps us to do that! He ministers hope to us through this Book!And at the same time, as we live in this hope, we should not downplay the opposition set against us, especially not the parts that are unlawful, harmful to our families and children, and that put other churches at risk.I think about a good friend in college … he spent a whole summer in West Africa, in the bush, doing a missions project, and one of the individuals on his team was so eager to suffer for Jesus that they decided not to the bring a toothbrush for the entire four months. And this person experienced all the things you might imagine you would if you don't brush your teeth for a long time. And one of the lessons my friend learned is that “Jesus is most likely okay with a toothbrush.”The lesson is that although suffering for Jesus is normal — and the Bible teaches us to expect it — that doesn't mean that we seek it out or accept it without any concern.For example: God has instituted earthly authorities, known as government, as a means to create and guard ordered societies. According to Romans 13, we should expect our government to punish wrongdoing.What happened to us on January 18 was wrong, period.And much of what continues to go on out here on Sunday mornings is also wrong.And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then great. Keep it like that. There are ways to get into this space without having to walk past these people who hate us. I'd encourage you: avail yourselves to those ways.But to be clear: out front, over the past few months we have experienced, and have evidence of, chargeable offenses. People have said things and behaved toward our church members with the intent to cause harm and induce reasonable fear. They want to make our coming to worship as uncomfortable as possible so that we would stop coming. (Their goal is to shut us down, just like the people who desecrated our worship service on January 18.) But, the more serious issue is that, so far, our city and state officials are doing nothing about it. And that's the bigger problem. The world hating us is expected — Jesus told us they would. But our local government should enforce the law equally, for all people, including for Baptists … including for Evangelical Christians … but they're not doing that.So that's what we're facing, here in our little slice of the world, in the Twin Cities, in this promised age of the Spirit poured out.Now #3, I want to tell you …3. How we respondNow before I say anything here about our response, I first want to commend you and thank you for your response so far.And I want to give a special thanks to our security team. These men have done so much over the past several months to protect us from physical harm and to promote safety, and I thank God for them. I encourage you, when you get a chance, express your gratitude to these men. And for our entire church, corporately, look, your response has been remarkable. Over and over again the fruit of the Spirit has been manifested in you: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.I've seen it in you! So thanks be to God, and may this fruit abound more and more!Now, as we look forward to a new season, and the opposition drags on, I want to tell you about a three-part strategy that's trying to taking everything into account. With God's help, these are three actions that we can take in these days.1. We will pursue wise and lawful means to hold our opponents accountable for wrongdoing. We are continuing to document everything, and we're doing our best to work with the St. Paul Police and city officials to get the law enforced. This means that we, as your pastors, gotta be a little persistent. We have to kindly bother them, and that's what I plan to do.I hope to have an audience with Mayor Her, and I want to appeal to her. And I would say:Mayor Her, on April 20th this year, in your address on the state of St. Paul, you said that you are committed to listening and to acting and to lifting St. Paul higher to its full potential, but I wonder: Do you include Evangelical Christians in that commitment? Or, do you only care about people you agree with? You have left us to wonder this. These are serious questions that we need to ask. That's one part of our response.Here's the second:2. We will increase our fervent prayer.I know many of us have been praying, and many other churches have been praying for us, and I want to encourage us to keep on, and even pray more. Look, we know, Ephesians 6:12, we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.Our opposition is fundamentally spiritual, and therefore our response must be fundamentally spiritual. We put on the armor of the Lord, which includes praying at all times in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18).And so the plan is to equip our greeters and security with some guided prayer points to carry with them as they're serving, and I would like to build a small team of prayer warriors to pray as our people are coming to worship. I will send more communications about this, but just know it's coming. We're gonna pray more. I'm reminded of the quote, goes back to Oswald Chamber. He says:“Prayer does not equip us for greater works — prayer is the greater work.”3. We will remember the real headline. Now I've already told you the real headline, but it's probably not one that you're gonna find in your feeds. The real headline today — and everyday until Jesus comes back — is that THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN POURED OUT!TRUST CHRIST AND BE SAVED!Church, Jesus is real. Jesus is alive — and he is not anxious about anything. He's not worried about our future. Right now he's reigning from the Father's right hand. He has all authority in heaven and on earth, and he has many in these cities who are his people. We are in the promised age of the Spirit, the age of salvation. And that means that anybody from anywhere — it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from or what you're past is — if you call on the name of the Lord you will be saved!And because this is true, church, be filled with the Holy Spirit and take the next step on mission — Have that gospel conversation with your neighbor or coworker. Invite people to church! — hey, if you think people are not gonna wanna come because of the opposition, just test that out. Invite people to come see for themselves who we truly are.In these days when our opponents want to shut us down, I pray that God doubles our size. I pray that he multiplies us! I pray that he sends us out! We don't want less mission — we want more. More prayer. More courage. More witness. More disciples made.More of the glory of Jesus overcoming us and overflowing through us! The promised Spirit is here! And he is at work. In a couple of months, God willing, I'm going to see my grandfather in North Carolina. And he's been following what's going on. He keeps up on us. But when I see him, he's gonna ask me, “Son, how's the church?” And I'm gonna say, “Granddaddy, the gospel is advancing! Jesus is building his church!”And he's gonna smile because he knows it's true. This is the time in which we live. May God be glorified through us!And that's what brings us to the Table. The TableAt this table each week, we enter into a ritual that Jesus gave to his church. It's for Christians.So if you're here and you're not a Christian, if you have not put your faith in Jesus, this is an opportunity to do that. On this day, in this moment, I invite you: call on the name of Jesus, put your faith in him, and be saved. Now, for Cities Church and all who trust in Christ, let us remember him — let's remember his death and resurrection for us, and let's remember the hope we have in him.

How did Evangelical Christians come to not only vote for Donald Trump, but embrace him as a heroic figure? Historian Kristin Kobes Du Mez says it was a long time in coming, and that Trump is not a betrayal of evangelical values, but a fulfilment of them. We'll talk with Du Mez ahead of delivering the annual Thulin Lecture this week in Urbana.

In this episode, we host a thoughtful, moderated discussion on one of the most debated topics in Christianity: Is salvation based on grace alone, or does it require works?Joined by Hayden (a lifelong Latter-day Saint) and Daniel (a former Latter-day Saint turned Evangelical Christian), this conversation dives deep into the core differences—and surprising similarities—between these two perspectives.Rather than debating to “win,” the goal of this episode is clarity: What do each side actually believe about salvation, faith, grace, and obedience?Our LinksWebsite: http://thoughtfulfaith.orgInstagram:   / thoughtful.faithTikTok:   / thoughtful.faithPodcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1478749DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this video are entirely the opinion of the creator and do not necessarily reflect any officially endorsed positions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or channel sponsors.

Allie engages in a theological debate on Mormonism with Jacob Hansen, who runs the Thoughtful Faith YouTube channel. Hansen, who belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, presents his religion as the true ecclesiastical priesthood with more similarities to Catholics or the Orthodox Church than to evangelicals. Allie and Jacob trade barbs on the Trinity, salvation, and whether humans, angels, and God are all the same species. Who is eligible for heaven? Is God all-knowing?

Missionary kids often carry the weight of their parents' choices. They are inculcated into the faith without opportunity for independent thought, according to author, historian, and former intelligence analyst Holly Berkley Fletcher, PhD. Her parents were Evangelical Christian missionaries in Kenya, and she speaks about that and the experiences of other children with similar backgrounds through her book, The Missionary Kids: Unmasking the Myths of White Evangelicalism. “The mission field has long been the rugged frontier in a grand evangelical narrative, the ultimate proof of the American church's virtue, rightness, and importance,” she writes in the book's introduction.Holly's unique first-hand knowledge of missionary work has enabled her to explore the role of missionaries as “Super Christians” in the eyes of the church. Likewise, she has been able to write about the more devious aspects of mission culture, including physical or sexual abuse, neglect of children, and other crimes often not prosecuted due to jurisdictional gaps in the legal relationships between nations. Holly would eventually return to the United States, go on to teach at universities, and work for 19 years as an Africa analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency. Then she noted that the Trump / MAGA movement “would not exist without white evangelicals.” “That's really the foundational, most solid support base that he's had this entire time,” she concluded. She called White Evangelical Christianity a high-control religion with a persecution complex that has empowered a malignant narcissist. She said that's what inspired her to write the book. “I felt like the missionary kid experience was a great way to shine a light on it, because it's not a well-known facet to the broader public, but it is kind of the distillation of a lot of what white evangelical is.” While reading her book, I noticed that the religion reflected both a male-centric and colonialist perspective, as well as a problematic treatment of children. As I put it, “The kids get farmed off to boarding schools and to other places, while the parents do God's work.” Holly agreed, explaining that she specifically included the term “White” Evangelical Christianity because the racial dimension is deeply rooted in the culture. She acknowledged that while the movement has become global, with many White Evangelicals who are not white, “you see similar dynamics in other cultures replicating this both on the political front and on the religious front as well.” Learn more about your ad choices.

When Jordan Ritter Conn was a teenager growing up in an Evangelical Christian family, he met with a half dozen male friends every Saturday night for Bible Study. The sessions were a free-for-all for owning up to masturbation or admitting your insecurities, for speaking frankly about your father or dreaming about your future. Now a veteran journalist covering sports and culture for The Ringer and the author of the new book American Men, Conn still considers those Saturday nights "some of the best of my life." On this episode of Paternal, Conn discusses why so many men are struggling to make similarly meaningful connections, as well as what he learned from years of intimate and revealing conversations with four men from diverse American backgrounds for his new book. He also examines the male loneliness crisis, why all men have to face "the masculinity gap" at some point in their lives, and why he always texts a male friend after a meaningful conversation. Conn's new book, American Men, is available wherever you buy books.

The modern ecumenical movement has made a profound impact on the contemporary Christian understanding of unity. But what overlap, if any, does this movement have with biblical unity? In this sermon on Romans 12:4–5 titled “One Body,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones reminds that an essential point for evangelical Christians to remember is the inevitability of the unity of the church. Because the church is a spiritual society called the body of Christ, there will necessarily be true unity. Striving to maintain visible unity is a necessity because evangelical Christians believe what the Bible says. Still, says Dr. Lloyd-Jones, the character of the church's unity is spiritual – it cannot be manufactured by people as it is the supernatural result of the creative work of the Holy Spirit. Only when a person is born again and baptized into the body of Christ can genuine Christian unity occur. This along with the error of separating unity from the whole person – in a particular a person's mind through doctrine – is the biggest error of the ecumenical movement. While some Christians rally around the claim “doctrine divides,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones offers a pointed biblical challenge saying there cannot be true unity by suppressing thought and denying a person's ability to think about truth. Evangelical Christians need to hear afresh this important message on Christian unity, doctrine, and the ecumenical moment.

Sabatina James was raised in rural Pakistan as a devout Muslim, reading and studying the Quran. However, she quickly saw the devastating consequences of taking it seriously, which landed her in a Muslim prison and an arranged marriage. Everything changed one day when she cried out to God to reveal Himself. Now, she's fighting to warn the West about the realities of Muhammad, and the necessity of Jesus.

If there are American leaders making military or legislative decisions based in faith rather than facts, that is a clear, and flagrant, violation of the separation of church and state. Commanders who send troops into combat have an obligation to the law, the mission, and the men and women under their command. If they think they are fulfilling some long prophesied Armageddon we need to hold them accountable. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Courtney Boyer grew up in the Evangelical Christian community, where she learned that sex is not to be talked about and only to be shared with a husband. She thought sex would be wonderful once she got married. Instead, she grappled with shame and confusion. Yearnings for something more, something outside of her monogamous marriage, led to a journey that would transform everything.   Coutney's memoir, Opened:  https://www.courtneyboyercoaching.com/store   IG: @GirlBonerMedia  FB: @MyGirlBoner  patreon.com/girlboner   More Girl Boner fun: augustmclaughlin.com/girlboner

Did Jesus actually teach about Hell… or has that idea been misunderstood over time?In this episode of Last Christian Media, we carefully examine the words of Jesus recorded in the Gospels. Rather than relying on tradition, emotion, or modern reinterpretation, we go directly to Scripture and explore what Christ said about judgment, eternal consequences, repentance, and eternal life.This is thoughtful, faith-based biblical teaching presented from a conservative Evangelical Christian perspective. Our goal is clarity, not controversy. We walk through passages including the Sermon on the Mount, Luke 16, and Matthew 25 to understand what the red letters truly reveal. If Jesus spoke about Hell, why did He do so? And how does that connect to the Cross, grace, and salvation?This program is intended for biblical study, reflection, and discussion. It is not directed at any individual or group, but seeks to faithfully present Scripture in context.

After 35 years, the future of Disney's Gay Days looks grim. The group that organizes the event announced that shifting hotel agreements and the loss of key sponsors forced it to cancel the celebration in 2026. Organizers still urge gay fans to visit the parks on the usual dates and wear themed attire, but the coordinated celebration appears headed for a quiet end. Whatever happens next, one point matters: Evangelical Christians tried to cancel Gay Days with on-again, off-again boycotts for decades. What finally wounded the LGBTQ leviathan was not conservative activism, but cultural apathy.

This week on the show I'm joined by my friend Nate Cline to talk about his amazing journey from Evangelical Christianity into the Catholic Church. Nate's story is one of a passionate Evangelical Christian, honestly and wholeheartedly seeking after Christ through a variety of churches, church plants, church splits, and serious soul searching to find Christ, ultimately, in the last place he ever thought he could: the Catholic Church. After all, the Catholic converts we know, Nate points out, became that way only after passionately and in full abandonment, seeking out Christ and where He could be found.For more from Nate please subscribe to his YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/@thenateclineshowSend your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

How Evangelical Communities in Indiana Are Leading Christian Climate Action In Indiana, evangelical churches are finding new ways to live out their faith through environmental action. With support from the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN), congregations are installing solar panels, planting native gardens, creating nature play areas for preschoolers, and even adding electric vehicle charging stations. This initiative, often referred to by Christians as “creation care,” positions environmental stewardship and climate action as a biblical responsibility.What is the Evangelical Environmental Network?EEN is a biblically-based ministry and the environmental arm of the National Association of Evangelicals, dedicated to mobilizing Christians around climate action. By collaborating with churches, universities, and seminaries, the organization offers education on how creation care is a collective mission among evangelicals. In Central Indiana, this has meant congregations and Christian universities working together on eco-friendly infrastructure and community events such as Indy Creation Fest, an Earth Day-like celebration that joyfully highlights humanity's duty to conserve and steward the beauty God bestowed on us.Creation Care as Protecting the PoorA central theme of EEN's work is showing Christians that defending the poor and vulnerable also means addressing pollution — including from plastic, methane, and mercury — and climate change. Low-income communities often face the harshest impacts of extreme climate disasters, poor air quality, and contaminated water. By making this connection clear, EEN reframes environmentalism as an act of justice and compassion for humanity, aligning climate action with evangelical priorities. Their programs highlight not only environmental threats but also human health risks, from asthma linked to air pollution to the dangers of unsafe drinking water.The Building of a MovementCreation care is still a growing movement and remains a minority position within American evangelicalism. Some believers continue to prioritize human welfare over environmental stewardship without recognizing that the two are inseparable. Historically, evangelicals have been among the groups least likely to regard climate change as urgent and express wariness about climate science. While the visible progress in Indiana is promising, it remains only a small step in the broader effort to normalize creation care across the evangelical community. Nonetheless, by centering their approach on shared religious values, EEN helps evangelical Christians see climate action not as a burden, but as a natural extension of their mission to honor God and all of creation.About Our GuestRev. Dr. Jeremy Summers, the Director of Church and Community Engagement at EEN, emphasizes that caring for the environment and caring for people are one in the same. He works with churches, universities, and local communities to connect biblical principles with climate action, advancing the creation care movement within evangelical circles. Within these spaces, he urges Christians to understand that protecting ecosystems is necessary to protect the people who live in them, especially those from marginalized groups who suffer most from pollution, climate change, and environmental injustice. ResourcesEEN, The Evangelical Environmental NetworkNAE, National Association of EvangelicalsFurther ReadingThe New York Times, In Indiana, Putting Up Solar Panels Is Doing God's WorkAmerican Academy of Arts and Sciences, Evangelical Environmental Network: Mobilizing Religious Groups for Climate ActionThe Chronicle of Philanthropy, The ‘Eco-Right' Is Growing.

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!Do not push play!  Do what you must do to skip this episode!That would be the advice offered by Northwest Christian superintendent and Kingdom Culture Conversation co-host Geoff Brown.Why?Because this particular episode of Kingdom Culture Conversations will blow your mind.  Or, if not your mind, it just might blow up the convenient buffer that many Evangelical Christians have placed between themselves and the spiritual realm.  Although Scripture is filled with references to and stories about angels, demons, and a vast spiritual cosmology, for most of us, that reality remains unconsidered and unexplored.And, in some (perhaps most?) instances, for good reason.  We abide within a culture infatuated with demonic darkness in horror movies, music, television, books, podcasts, and more.  At times, it seems as though the only safe harbor to sail within the spiritual realm is truly anchored within the word of God.So, as today's episode launches into Joe Infranco's experiences with some special needs students who are describing engagement with the ethereal, God's word remains our lifeline.But, should you choose to hit play, make sure you have God's word handy, and be prepared to be challenged to think Biblically and critically!For more information on Highlands Church, please follow this link.To be inspired by what Highlands Church is doing in terms of special needs ministry, click here.To order a copy of "Decoding Cody" by Joe Infranco, follow this link.To hear Joe Infranco's longer interview on the Blurry Creatures podcast, please follow this link."Kingdom Culture Conversations" is a podcast created through Frameworks, a Biblical worldview initiative of Northwest Christian School.For more information on Frameworks, please visit: https://frameworks.ncsaz.org/For more information on Northwest Christian School, visit: https://www.ncsaz.org/To reach out to Geoff Brown, please email gbrown@ncsaz.org or you can reach him by cell phone: (623)225-5573.

What truly happened in Genesis 22, and why does it still matter?In this episode of The Akedah: Covenant on Trial, Resurrection on Record, we examine the biblical account of the binding of Isaac through careful, faith-based study. Rather than treating the passage as a simple story of obedience, this program explores how Genesis 22 establishes covenant principles that point forward to the fulfilled work of Jesus Christ.This episode presents Scripture-centered analysis of covenant, substitution, and resurrection as they appear throughout the Bible, offering listeners a deeper understanding of how God's promises remain consistent from Genesis through the New Testament. The discussion is informational and faith-focused, presented from a conservative Evangelical Christian perspective.

The so-called “pro-Israel lobby” in Washington, D.C., has long been a target for antisemites and for fringe voices on both sides of the aisle.

The so-called “pro-Israel lobby” in Washington, D.C., has long been a target for antisemites and for fringe voices on both sides of the aisle. Contrary to conventional wisdom, however, support for Israel in the United States is not a predominantly Jewish cause. Once a Democratic hallmark, its strongest base today is Evangelical Christians, whose theology and values profoundly shape their political advocacy for the Jewish people and their homeland. Yet antisemitism and hostility toward Israel persist, with October 7th exposing eroded support across the political spectrum. What ideology drives these attitudes? How can the generational divide over Israel be bridged? And what do these trends reveal about America's values?Ralph Reed is the founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition and is the chairman and CEO of Century Strategies, a public relations and public affairs firm. Prior to founding the Faith & Freedom Coalition, Ralph served as Executive Director of the Christian Coalition where he built one of the most effective public policy organizations. Reed also served as a senior advisor to the 2000 and 2004 Bush-Cheney presidential campaigns and was chairman of the Southeast Region for Bush-Cheney 2004. As chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, he helped elect the first Republican Governor and third U.S. Senator since Reconstruction. Reed has worked on seven presidential campaigns and has advised 88 campaigns for U.S. Senate, Governor, and Congress across 24 states. He is the best-selling author and editor of seven books, including his latest novel, Awakening.Read the transcript here.Subscribe to our Substack here.

David Frank and TJ talked with historian Dr. Dan Hummel about why many Evangelical Christians support the modern state of Israel—and its implications for kinship between Christians and Jews. Dan traces the theological roots of Christian Zionism, the rise of dispensational theology, and some political and social effects we see today. We also covered how Christians have related to Jewish communities more broadly, and what kinship can or should look like for us, going forward.★ About Our GuestDaniel G. Hummel is the director of the Lumen Center in Madison, WI and a research fellow in the History Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Who better to help Kick Off 2026 than our GREAT Friend Chris Harris of Evangelical Christian in Ft. Myers, Florida. Chris was on the Podcast back in Season #2 and he's back with some more BEST PRACTICES on The Educational AD Podcast!

It grows. It changes. Someday, some say it will conquer!Will it? That depends upon YOU. Do you understand AI and its potential, the ramifications of its capability, do you? I don't, and I guarantee you that the smartest AI person in this world does not either for one simple reason: it never stays the same. It is here today, gone tomorrow, changed, improved, more dominant. The AI of tomorrow does away with the AI of today. What is happening in the world of AI can be constructive or destructive. What do you think?One listener to the Stand wondered whether or not AI could:CREATE JESUSThat is, produce a false, mechanical, perhaps even satanic version of our Lord. Would we, said this listener, know the difference between the REAL JESUS and:A JESUS CREATED BY AI.Interesting questions, don't you think?How can we know the real from the artificial, the sum of the real God from an artificial creation? The first way is to keep a spiritual life completely under the influence of:THE HOLY SPIRITThe Spirit bears witness. It knows the Truth. It is the Truth. It reminds you internally, heart, soul, and even stomach with a so-called:SPIRITUAL GUT CHECKwhen something or someone is Biblically, spiritually, or morally:WRONG.Any AI Jesus, whether created in whole or in part, is dead, satanic, and:WRONG.The Spirit of the Living God, the Holy Spirit, will let you know if you ask.The second way to know the real Jesus from a falsehood is through:PRAYER.When in doubt, ask. When troubled, pray. Seek the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, the Christ of Glory, and the Wisdom of God the Father. Seek it with all your heart. Ask, and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock on the spiritual doors and they will be opened unto you. Ask in PRAYER. Ask casually or devotedly on your knees. If you ask sincerely, our Divine Messenger the Holy Spirit will answer. Prayer works wonders. That is especially so when the Holy Spirit is at work.The third way a Christian can know the real from the artificial, the real Jesus from a satanic, artificial creation is through the working of a:SOUND MIND.God has not given us the spirit of fear, especially of AI, but of power, love, and sound mind. Are you powerful? Does love permeate your life? Do you possess a sound mind?Train your mind in the ways of the Lord. Read. Research.One has assurances about AI, about anything and everything, if one is an entire Christian, a whole Christian, fully converted and believing in:MINDINTELLECTHEARTEMOTIONSSOULThe whole spirit of the human being. Any Christian can be all of these things, more or less. You need not be an intellectual giant, but you do need to have an intellectual mind which can decern right from wrong, fact from fiction, and truth from lie. The intervention of the Holy Spirit can be yours if you sincerely ASK through prayer.Modern day preachers use AI for content and research for their sermons. Can you tell where the Spirit takes off in the message and AI takes over? Ask the pastor.Churches will use AI. Evangelical Christian organizations will use AI. Religious programs on radio and television will use AI. Can you tell the difference, can you know or at least sense when AI is at work?The Scriptures, our Bible, tell us, WE THE CHRISTIAN PEOPLE, to:KNOW THE SIGNS OF THE TIMESTO TEST THE SPIRITSNot to be afraid, not to run away from the problem, but to be involved to the extent we can. No one should tell us how to evaluate AI or disparage us if we do not fully understand this pervasive force, its problems and potential. NO ONE!But, YOU must do the best YOU can. If the Holy Spirit draws within, you will know for your mind, heart, soul, and even your stomach will react to the:SPIRITUAL GUT CHECK.That is the bottom line, for Truth lives within and can not be compromised by anything artificial.Three things are dominant:FAITHHOPELOVEAI can never challenge, corrupt, or produce doubt with regard to the real FAITH of a real Christian. NEVER. If AI challenges your faith, accept that as a positive, respond to the challenge, learn more about your faith, and appreciate how wonderful, strong, and lasting it is.AI can never reduce or eliminate the HOPE of a Christian, for all things here on this earth, and even the better things to come.AND LOVE. No matter what AI says, does, or becomes in the future, there is no way, NO WAY that AI can ever reproduce or replicate:LOVE.Real love. And that, my fellow Christians, is the Eternal Love of God the Father in our Lord Jesus Christ. That love at work will triumph every time over the artificial, the unreal, the unscriptural, the unspiritual of the thing called:ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.Never be afraid, never doubt, never worry, for you can be absolutely certain there will be no artificial intelligence of any kind in Heaven:ONLY THE REAL JESUS!

Kevin Palau, President of the Palau ministry, and Sam Adams, former mayor of Portland, Oregon, talk about their friendship formed in the context of meeting social needs in the city. Sam was the first openly gay mayor of a major U.S. city.

They offer a practical example of how Christians can dialogue respectfully and share the love of Christ with those who hold different views. Buy your copy of Jim Daly’s book, ReFOCUS!

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) has been in the news lately in connection with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the murderous attack on an LDS chapel in Michigan.  As Americans have rushed to find the "cause" of these attacks, several groups have been blamed including: Latter-day Saints, Political Conservatives/Republicans, Political Liberals/Democrats, Evangelical Christians, and Ex-Mormon influencers.  Today we will discuss many of these theories with an amazing panel: Julie de Azevedo Hanks, Bishop Beau Oyler, Jana Spangler, and John Dehlin.___________________YouTubeShow NotesAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

There are two separate realities in America right now. One we saw at the Charlie Kirk memorial, where God has picked a side and if you're not with them you're not on it, and one rooted in reality. However, the reality one…it's not winning. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
