Podcast appearances and mentions of John West

In this interview, Spencer Dalke talks with John West about the foundational ideas behind the American identity and the ongoing debate over the nation's moral and philosophical roots. West explains that the United States is uniquely grounded in a shared creed—articulated in the Declaration of Independence—that draws deeply from a biblical worldview, particularly the belief in human equality, natural rights, and a moral law rooted in both Scripture and human conscience. The conversation explores how these ideas shaped early views of liberty, governance, and human dignity, and how they were historically connected to both theology and the rise of modern science. West also traces how these principles have been challenged over time, especially through movements like social Darwinism and the Progressive Era, which redefined equality and authority in ways that departed from the founding vision. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to reflect on whether America will continue to uphold its original creedal beliefs or move toward a fundamentally different understanding of human nature, rights, and the role of government.  Featured work: Endowed By Our Creator: The Bible, Science, and the Battle for America’s Soul  Connect with John West at Discovery.org.  For more faith-filled, Gospel-centered content, download the Pilgrim Radio app today on Google Play and Apple, or stream at PilgrimRadio.com.

Margaret Thatcher once remarked that “Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.” What she had in mind here was the strain of thought that considered America and its founding thought as predominantly a product of enlightenment-era rational philosophy, especially as it crystalized in the work of John Locke. Hence the view of […]

Psychic news article writer and paranormal author and ghost researcher John West guests on the Paranormal Peep Show speaking to Neil Ward. John explains about his research into various ghostly anomalies, mostly of the Roman ghost variety. He explains about the famous Roman Ghosts of York sighted by apprentice plumber Harry Martindale in 1953 at the Chancellors House which was built over a Roman road. It appears that Harry saw the Romans of the past marching down over this Roman Road, but he saw them coming through the wall of a  cellar he was working on. In 1957, possibly the same Romans were seen again in the cellar but this time by a house keeper of the Chancellors house who was checking up on the building before retiring to bed. This time the Romans were sleeping, slumped accross their horses that marched them back to camp. Was it a stone tape recording, or a some kind of time slip? John shares various accounts of possible time slips with Roman horses sighted on carriages but being frightened of people in the present time who are witnessing them. We also hear of the Roman centurian seen ten feet in the air off Hadrien's Wall, presumably at the level the wall originally stood at before it began to crumble. We also discuss ghosts from Jack the Ripper time and ask if Ghosts could have been created in more modern times, such as with the killings done by Fred and Rose West of Cromwell Avenue in Gloucester in the 70s, 80s and 90s of many young women.

Is there room in the church for a "flexible inerrancy," in which the Gospel writers adapted and invented sayings of Jesus according to their theological interests? For example, is it within the bounds of inerrancy to conclude that Jesus never said the words, "I thirst," although that sentiment captures his goals? These questions are at the root of a big debate within the evangelical church. And today, we have Dr. Michael Licona and Dr. John West to discuss these issues and more.

In this episode, Dr. Kim and John West discuss “Stockholm Syndrome Christianity” and how cultural captivity can pull Christians away from biblical truth. They explore the impact of these influences on marriage, from weakened faithfulness to the generational effects of broken promises on children. The conversation highlights the need for intentionality in guarding our hearts, shaping our children's worldview, and staying rooted in truth. Listeners will be encouraged to build marriages that mutually support, advocate, and thrive in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction.   Episode Highlights: As believers, what we are consuming directly affects how boldly we live out our faith. Too many believers aren't prioritizing biblical truth and their relationships reflect their culture more than their faith. The church has not been immune to cultural influences.  Culture tells us that feelings trump biblical truth.   Quotes from Today's Episode: If you live your life oriented towards God's truth, it's designed for our flourishing.- John West Every spouse needs to be their partner's biggest advocate.- John West The impact on kids from broken marriages is traumatic. - John West If you have a certain feeling, you don't have to act it out. - John West If you're listening to a never-ending stream of lies, you're going to become very reticent about speaking up or living based on your Christian beliefs.- John West What I saw in the christian community is a lot of christians being culturally captive. - John West If you're a christian, especially in industries, you spend a lot of your life around cultural captors.  Many christians have adopted this secular view that sex isn't to be reserved for marriage.- John West If you have a diet in your entertainment consumption for you and your kids, that everyone's doing it- it's normalized, it's going to affect how you live. -John West It's really important to be in the world, not of the world. -Dr. Kim You need to be wise enough and intentional enough to know that putting that stuff inside of you is going to have an impact- and impact your kids.- John West The number 1 thing is you need to ask yourself- who is really raising your kids? Couples' Conversation Guide: As you reflect on your marriage relationship, where do you see culture influencing you the most? Are there biblical truths you've found harder to live out in today's world? Why? Do you believe there are any “outdated” parts of the Bible? Who or what has the largest influence on your marriage? Who or what has the largest influence on your children? Mentioned in this Episode: Learn more about the Discovery Institute and John West. Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram!
