Podcasts about protestants

In this episode of Logos Podcast, Fr. Max and Fr. Joseph dive deep into the meaning of the Old Law and the New Law — drawing from Scripture, the Church Fathers, and St. Thomas Aquinas. Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament? Did Jesus come to abolish the law, or to fulfill it? And why does St. Thomas say the New Law is actually more demanding than the Old?Together, the priests unpack the Torah, the Ten Commandments, the sacrificial system, and the judicial laws of Israel — and show how all of these find their fulfillment in Christ, the Law of Freedom and the Law of Love. You'll learn why the grace of the Holy Spirit is at the heart of Christian life, how to avoid common misunderstandings between Catholics and Protestants, and what it means to live interiorly with God's Spirit today.If you've ever wondered about the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament, this conversation will give you clarity, challenge your assumptions, and inspire you to go deeper in the Catholic faith.Topics covered:- Misconceptions about Old vs. New Testament God- The purpose of the Old Law (moral, liturgical, judicial)- Why the Old Law was incomplete- Prophecies of a New Law in Ezekiel- St. Thomas Aquinas on the grace of the Holy Spirit- Why the New Law is harder — yet possible through grace- What it means to live the Law of Love todayChapters0:00 – Introduction2:10 – The Topic 2:55 - Augustine Institute Ad4:45 - The Topic 7:40 – Misconceptions About the Law9:00 – What Is the Old Law?13:45 – Why God Gave the Law18:00 – The Limits of the Old Law22:40 – Promise of a New Law25:20 – What Is the New Law?27:30 – Moral, Liturgical, and Judicial Laws in Christ35:00 – Is the New Law Harder?41:00 – The Law of Freedom and Love47:40 – Infinite Mercy, Infinite Demands48:50 – Practical Takeaways49:27 – Closing & BlessingConnect with Logos Podcast:Website: http://www.logos-podcast.com/Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3PCPWBvNcAbptX17PzlC2x?si=BkEHS4vGSf-xmMlDFcpZ2QApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/logos-podcast/id1560191231YouTube: @logospodxastInstagram: @logospodxastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/logospodcastSponsored by the Augustine InstituteApply now: https://www.augustine.edu/logosSupport the show

We are continuing our study of more differences of the Protestants and Baptists beliefs. Today we are reviewing the distinction between the Old and New Covenant.

Patrick returns to the mic and responds to a series of heartfelt listener calls: Macy’s concerns about parenting in the Church amid public same-sex relationships, Nathan’s struggle between finishing an engineering degree or pursuing missionary work, Mary Ellen’s anxiety over confession, Diane’s questions about Catholic school policy for children of same-sex couples, and Sandra’s challenge explaining Mary’s Immaculate Conception to Protestants. He addresses these situations with a mix of honest counsel, humor, and direct references to Catholic teaching, offering both spiritual reassurance and practical advice. Through it all, Patrick’s warmth and clarity stir real engagement with issues of faith, family, and conscience. Macy – There are two women at our church who are in a same sex relationship and one of them received Communion. Should I leave this Church? (01:08) Nathan - I am about to drop out of engineering school to do missionary work. Is it worth getting a college degree if I want to work in the Church? (08:38) Richard - How graphic do I need to be with the priest in Confession? (19:36) Diane – What if a gay couple wants to put their kids in a Catholic school? (32:40) Sandra – Is it true that if Mary is without sin, then she doesn't need Jesus? (40:11) Maggie - I am concerned about my daughter's ex-husband wanting to introduce his girlfriend to their children and grand-children? (47:30)

The Church of Christ? How did Protestants fixed their denominational dilemma? What is Conciliarism? Join us for Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders.

What Does the Bible Say About Ecumenism? – Roman Catholicism, the Gospel of Grace, and First-Order Doctrines If unity is a virtue, does that mean Protestants should embrace ecumenism with Roman Catholics? What about when first-order doctrines like the Trinity and salvation by grace through faith are at stake? This episode asks whether cooperation in politics is different from unity in the church, and whether the "least common denominator" approach to Christianity actually undermines the gospel itself. From Galatians to John 3:16, the conversation highlights the danger of watering down truth, the insufficiency of works-based systems, and the urgent call to evangelize with a gospel that is all of grace, all of Christ, and all of Scripture.

Today we RETURN to open forum debate & QNA ! The topics are literature, books, Bible, Church history, patristics, councils, Islam, Koran, revelation, Protestantism, Calvinism, evangelicalism, Arianism, cults, Hebrew roots, JWs, etc. Calling all MUSLIMS, Catholics, Protestants, Calvinists, Evangelicals, Arians/JWs, Hebrew Roots, Black Hebrew Israelites: Open theological debate.

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Yakov M. Rabkin, historian and Professor Emeritus at the University of Montreal, for a wide-ranging and fascinating discussion on the history of Zionism, Jewish thought, and the modern state of Israel. Delving into Rabkin's path-breaking work, including his newest book, Israel in Palestine: Jewish Rejection of Zionism, Rabkin and Sachs discuss the early opposition to modern Zionism from many parts of the world Jewry, and the deep theological, political, and cultural divides that Zionism has created in Jewish communities around the world.  Together, Rabkin and Sachs trace the surprising origins of Zionism in 17th century British Protestantism, and its transformation into a modern political movement in 19th century Europe, led by both British evangelical Protestants and Central and Eastern European secular Jews. They delve into Herzl's Zionist movement, which faced many Jewish opponents, including rabbinical authorities, assimilated Jews in Western Europe, and socialists who viewed it as a distraction from class struggle. Rabkin and Sachs discuss the pivotal role of Britain's Balfour Declaration, the Russian revolutionary roots of Israel's political culture, and the enduring legacies of figures such as Theodor Herzl and Ze'ev Jabotinsky.The conversation then turns to the present crisis in Israel and Palestine. They discuss the ideologies of Israel's ruling parties, the rise of Israel's religious-nationalist movements since 1967, and the role of these ideologies and movements in the ongoing conflict. Rabkin's scholarship offers listeners a deeply informed narrative of history, religion, and power - shedding a powerful light on the disastrous, ongoing Israel - Palestine conflict.  The Book Club with Jeffrey Sachs is brought to you by the SDG Academy, the flagship education initiative of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

“I've built my own faith from spare parts.”If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. Our guest calls it “Frankenstein Christianity”—picking what feels good, discarding what doesn't. After years of debates and burnout, he unplugged from church, Bible studies, and Christian content altogether… until one unexpected YouTube video on Orthodox church architecture broke through. For the first time, he saw a faith that engages all five senses—where every line, light, icon, and hymn points to Christ.Hosted by Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, James St. Simon, and special guest Eddie G.Then came his first Divine Liturgy: the “spiritual punch” of incense, the priest turning to ask the people's forgiveness, and the ancient exchange—“Christ is in our midst.”  “He is and ever shall be.”He wept: “These people believe Jesus is really here. Why haven't I been like this?”Along the way, the so-called “problem areas” (Mary, icons, censers, traditions) snapped into focus. Torn from their purpose they can look foreign; rooted in the Incarnation, they become signposts to the living God. Orthodoxy doesn't bend to modern preferences—it invites us into ancient, Christ-centered worship that has remained steady for centuries.In this episode you'll hear:How “Frankenstein Christianity” gives way to received, embodied worshipWhy faith + works in James 2 describes a living, grace-energized faithWhat the Church means by theosis (2 Peter 1:4)—and why it's not “earning” salvationHow Mary, icons, and tradition function as Incarnation theology, not add-onsPractical first steps toward a stable rule of prayer (Scripture, Psalms, Jesus Prayer)Who this is for:Christians weary of performative spirituality, Protestants curious about the apostolic faith, and anyone wondering if the ancient path might be what your soul has been searching for.Subscribe to Cloud of Witnesses for more conversations where ancient faith meets real life.Questions about Orthodoxy?

Gerald Weston - TVCA1407 - Our world is home to several major religions with countless factions within them. Those calling themselves Christians fall into many different categories including Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, non-denominational and many more. For any thinking person, the question must arise, “How do I know that what I believe is true?” We all believe we are correct, but it is not possible that we are all correct. What do you really know about God and can you prove what you believe from the Bible?

Early modern London has long been recognised as a centre of religious diversity, yet the role of the home as the setting of religious practice for all faiths has been largely overlooked. In contrast, Birth, Death, and Domestic Religion in Early Modern London (Cambridge UP, 2025), Dr. Emily Vine offers the first examination of domestic religion in London during a period of intense religious change, between the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and the Gordon Riots of 1780. Dr. Vine considers both Christian and Jewish practices, comparing the experiences of Catholics, Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews, Huguenots, and conforming and nonconforming Protestants alike. Through its focus on the crowded metropolis as a place where households of different faiths coexisted, this study explores how religious communities operated beyond and in parallel to places of public worship. Dr. Vine demonstrates how families of different faiths experienced childbirth and death, arguing that homes became 'permeable' settings of communal religion at critical moments of the life cycle. By focusing on practices beyond the synagogue, meeting house, or church, this book demonstrates the vitality of collective devotion and kinship throughout the long eighteenth century. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

[DONATE WITH PAYPAL] Greg explores the medieval Catholic ideal of chivalry—a powerful blend of manly courage, martial skill, and Christian virtue aimed at defending the vulnerable and imitating Christ. He defines the term's origins and meaning, drawing on etymology and historical context. Featuring quotations from sources like Ramon Llull's "Book of the Order of Chivalry," St. Bernard of Clairvaux's writings on the Templars, and Thomas Aquinas on fortitude, Greg unpacks how this vision integrated faith and action. Through examples of saints like St. George, St. Michael, St. Joseph, St. Martin of Tours, Godfrey of Bouillon, and St. Louis IX, plus chivalric figures in Arthurian legends and Dante's Divine Comedy, he reflects on chivalry's role in a holistic Catholic worldview. He also critiques the modern shift away from robust manly virtues toward emotive expressions in Christianity, including the erosion via standing armies and the longing among Protestants and evangelicals for godly masculinity, calling for a reclaiming of this timeless ideal.

“How Does the Vatican Approve Miracles?” This episode explores the significance of Mary in Catholicism, addressing questions about her unique role and the nature of her sinlessness. Additionally, we delve into how the Vatican approves miracles, the reality of the holy fire at the holy sepulcher, and the implications of marriage convalidation for those entering the Church.

Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 04:29 – How Does the Vatican Approve Miracles? 14:30 – I have a lot of Protestant friends who ask me a lot about Mary. I am curious now, why do we venerate Mary at all? If she was born without original sin, how can she be good? She didn’t have the option to be sinful, because she was born without sin. So shouldn’t we venerate saints to a higher degree than her because they had the choice to be sinful and they didn’t, which seems like that makes them even better than her? Also, I also was told by a Catholic that God loves Mary more than any other human he created. Is this true? 24:15 – Do you think the miracle of the holy fire that the Orthodox claim at the holy sepulcher is real? 32:48 – My wife and I are Protestants, and I am in OCIA. She is not interested. Do we have to get marriage convalidated in order for me to be received into the Church? 35:03 – Would it be un-Catholic of me to be superstitious about attending an event where I was hospitalized after I’ve gone? This has happened multiple times. 44:20 – How did the name lucifer become a catchall name for the devil since it’s not in scripture? 50:40 – Does practicing craniosacral therapy go against Church teaching?

A no-holds-barred exegetical read-thru of Romans 8. A book, and a chapter specifically, so famous and yet so abandoned by all groups that reject God's sovereign hand in salvation, and instead trust in their own works to be counted as righteous in Heaven. Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Jehovah's Witnesses: whoever expressly denies the Protestant understanding of the Gospel, denies Romans 8, denies God.

Patrick fields candid questions about family regrets, praying for notorious ancestors, and struggles with fallen-away children, offering gentle encouragement and honest perspective. Surprises abound, from a listener who discovers direct lineage to Pope Alexander VI, to nuanced reflections on handling cremated remains and the sheer unpredictability of souls in heaven. No script, just sincere exchanges about faith, raw admissions, and reminders: God’s mercy often shows up in unexpected ways.

From Platform to Pilgrimage: Pastor Ben, Cleave to Antiquity, and a Journey to the Apostolic FaithFaith over fame. Conviction over career. What would you give up to follow truth where it leads? These questions sit at the center of Pastor Ben's move from Protestant ministry into Eastern Orthodoxy—a decision he announced on his YouTube channel, Cleave to Antiquity.For years, Cleave to Antiquity was a thoughtful Protestant apologetics channel engaging Catholics and Orthodox Christians. So when Pastor Ben posted his conversion announcement on Cleave to Antiquity, many were stunned. The cost was immediate: he resigned his pastorate, lost followers, and faced criticism from former allies. As he admits, “It would be much more lucrative for me to remain Protestant.” Yet he chose faithfulness over familiarity.In this episode, Mario Andrew and Jeremy Jeremiah of Cloud of Witnesses react to Pastor Ben's announcement video from Cleave to Antiquity—pausing to consider what his story means for Christians wrestling with questions of unity, authority, and continuity. They highlight how Ben's journey combines heart and mind: a moment in prayer with Orthodox elements where he sensed a holy presence (a fragrance of incense, a gentle warmth), and an intellectual crisis where he could no longer defend certain Protestant positions in good conscience. Integrity demanded he follow the truth—even when it led away from comfort.Ben's path raises the questions many of us ask:Unity: How do we pursue oneness in Christ amid denominational fragmentation?Authority: Is it Scripture alone, or Scripture within the apostolic tradition?Continuity: Can today's faith and worship be traced to the early Church?As Pastor Ben enters the catechumenate—a season of learning before reception into the Church—he's reframing Cleave to Antiquity from teaching to learning, inviting his audience to explore the Fathers, the Creeds, and the liturgy with him.

“Can Protestants understand infant baptism and purgatory?” This episode explores the nuances of these topics, including what the Protestant view on infant baptism reveals about their understanding of sin, and how Catholics interpret purgatory in light of scripture. Additionally, we delve into the significance of saints’ relics and the complexities of baptismal regeneration. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:45 – Some Protestants don't believe in infant baptism, what does that tell us about their understanding of sin and how does that compare to the Catholic view? 12:16 – I understand the Catholic teaching on cremated remains is to not separate them. But if that's the case, why do we have cases where certain saints' body parts are in different locations? It seems like that contradicts the policy on cremated remains. 20:20 – How do Catholics understand Purgatory in light of Hebrews 9:27? 24:44 – How do you determine what a saint is a patron of? Like how does someone become patron saint if pilots when airplanes weren't even invented yet when they lived? 34:45 – Can you comment on the different translations of Luke 1:28, why Protestant Bibles say “greetings o favored one” and why Catholic bibles say “hail full of grace”? 44:45 – What is the Catholic interpretation of 1 John 5:1 with regard to baptismal regeneration? I'm struggling to square “if you believe you've been born of God” with having to be baptized. 51:50 – I practice no meat on Fridays. How do I keep up this practice during times when there are lots of feast days or solemnities on Fridays?

“Does God Punish Us By Afflicting Family? ” This episode explores the complex relationship between divine justice and human suffering, addressing questions like whether continuous sin can lead to a loved one’s illness and how the Church can effectively evangelize to those with disabilities. Additionally, we delve into the implications of the death penalty and the miraculous nature of St. Paul’s recoveries. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:12 – Is it possible that God punishes my continuous sin through my son’s disease? 04:19 – Can a Catholic hold to the Genesis Gap Theory? Or is it heretical? 12:41 – How can the Church evangelize to those with disabilities? What are good resources that can help me get started? 19:28 – Can we in good conscience support the death penalty? I can’t seem to understand why the church changed this. In theory can’t the church's teaching on this revert? 28:37 – Is there a miraculous quality to St. Paul recovering from the stoning at Lystra or from all of the other beatings he suffered? It seems any number of the rods, stonings, etc. could have disabled him and made his long-distance travel impossible. 32:49 – How does setting a prayer intention before praying a rosary differ from just praying for that intention directly without praying a rosary, does it have something to do with the merit involved with praying a rosary? Thank you! 36:40 – Why can't Catholicism be just another denomination among the denominations? I think Protestants see Catholicism as a Christian denomination, thus no need to make the move if they are already happy where they are. 43:02 – If priests have the sacramental power to ordain, why has this actually happened so rarely in Church history? 46:50 – Why is it mandatory to go to a priest for confession before one can go for Holy Communion. Why isn’t going to God directly sufficient for this? If someone sits on his seat because he hasn’t gone for confession, everyone would see that he hasn’t gone to confession, it would elicit some kind of shame on this person.

Greg shares a story from a golf outing where an awkward stranger handed him a Gospel pamphlet asking, "Am I Going to Heaven?" He praises the bold evangelism of Protestants but critiques the pamphlet's narrow "faith alone" view, offering a fresh Catholic perspective on how baptism and grace transform us to perform good works (for a deep dive into the Catholic position on this debate, see the "Faith or Works?" series, episodes #301-311. Contrasting Protestant urgency with Catholic strengths in charitable action, Greg calls for blending both to proclaim the fullness of salvation in the Church. This episode challenges listeners to evangelize boldly while embracing Catholic doctrine. Support this ministry so more people can consider Catholicism!

What is the center of Paul's theology? Traditionally, Protestants taught that justification by faith was the center. More recently, scholars proposed reconciliation, union with Christ, and transformation as the center. In The Affections of Christ Jesus, Nijay K. Gupta proposes love as the center. “The language of love in one form or another occurs over one hundred times in the Pauline corpus,” he writes. “Furthermore, every single letter contains love language — that cannot be said for other contenders for the so-called center of Paul's thought.” In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Gupta about what love is and why it may be “the bull's-eye center” of Pauline theology. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Nijay K. Gupta is Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He is editor of Dictionary of Paul and His Letters (2nd ed.), The State of Pauline Theology, and most recently, The Affections of Christ Jesus: Love at the Heart of Paul's Theology, published by Eerdmans. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Open When . . .

He explores how they represent the early, developing Church, maturing over centuries while preserving its identity, and stresses continuity to today. Greg shares why engaging the Fathers converts Protestants, including Newman's famous quote, and wraps the series with an encouraging call to discover the Church's roots.

The rich and powerful Guise family was one of the most treacherous and bloodthirsty in sixteenth-century France. They whipped up religious bigotry, overthrowing the king. They ruled Scotland for nearly 20 years through Mary Queen of Scots, plotting to invade England and overthrow Elizabeth I.

Some Protestants claim that Catholics have declared them “anathema,” which condemns Protestants to hell. But is this true? Joe dives deep to find out. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to cover a potentially sensitive topic today. This question of whether or not Catholics believe that all non-Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox and other non-Catholic Christians, as well as obviously non-Christians, whether we believe they’re all going to hell. And there’s a couple ways I want to approach this. First, this idea that the C...

It's Thursday, August 28th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus International plea to release 7 pastors in Eritrea, Africa A consortium of charities is calling for the release of seven pastors in Eritrea who have been imprisoned for over 20 years. Since 2002, the East African nation outlawed many religious practices. Thousands of people have subsequently faced imprisonment, including Protestants. A country expert told Open Doors, “Anything done by any churches or its members [which is] seen as a threat to the absolute control currently in place will be subjected to punishment.” Eritrea is known as the “North Korea of Africa.” The government infamously holds some prisoners in shipping containers. Eritrea is ranked sixth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of the most difficult places to be a Christian.   Evangelical churches in Spain on the rise Evangelical Focus reports that Evangelical churches are the most numerous of “minority” religions in Spain. Evangelical churches now account for 56% of non-Catholic places of worship in the Catholic-majority country. The second most numerous minority religion is Islam. Muslims have the most places of worship in smaller municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, Evangelical churches are more numerous in municipalities with 5,000 to 100,000 people.  Twisted trans killed 2 Catholic school students, injures 17 Tragically, a twisted transgendered psychotic, 23-year-old Robert Westman, who pretended to be female, shot and killed two children yesterday morning at 8:30am at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, Minnesota, reports The Blaze. The dead kids were 8 and 10 years old. Another 17 people were injured, including 14 children between the ages of 6 and 14, and three adults who ere all parishioners in their 80s. 10-year-old Weston Halsne, a fifth grader, described the deadly school shooting he witnessed at the beginning of the Catholic mass. HALSNE: “Yeah, it was like, maybe, like three minutes in, the first shot fired. … They shot through the stained glass windows, I think. And it was really scary. It was, like, right beside me. I was, like, two seats away from the stained glass windows. The shots were, like, right next to me. I think I got, like, gunpowder on my neck.” REPORTER: “When you heard the shots, what went through your head?” HALSNE: “The first one, I was, like, ‘What is that?' And when I heard it again, I just ran under the pew, and then I covered my head. My friend Victor, like, saved me, though, because he laid on top of me. My friend got hit in the back. He went to the hospital.” REPORTER:  “What went through your mind when you saw that?” HALSNE: “I was super scared for him, but I think now he's okay.” REPORTER:  “What do you want to say to your friend who helped protect you?” HALSNE: “He's really brave, and I hope he's good in the hospital. I'm praying for you.” The man, who legally changed his name from Robert to “Robin” in 2020, then killed himself. President Donald Trump responded immediately on Truth Social. He wrote, “I have been fully briefed on the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The FBI quickly responded and they are on the scene. The White House will continue to monitor this terrible situation. Please join me in praying for everyone involved!” Earlier yesterday morning, Robert Westman allegedly released a deeply disturbing 11-minute-long YouTube video which I watched in its entirety. Amidst the profanity, he featured a picture of Jesus in the middle of a shooting target and a crudely drawn map of the church where the mass would take place. Westman revealed a massive amount of ammunition and long guns displayed on the bed, which were covered in his own white sharpie graffiti. As he narrated the video in a series of almost demonically-driven voices, he panned guns with the words “Where is your God?” and “For the children” and “No remorse” and “Rip and tear” scrawled across the guns.  Other egregious messages include “6 million wasn't enough” and “Kill Trump now.”  The shirt which he planned to wear during his forthcoming shooting rampage said, “Let's do this before the anxiety kicks in.” Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” West Virginian parents allowed to opt kids out of vaccines West Virginia's Republican Governor Patrick Morrisey signed an executive order earlier this year to protect religious freedom and parental rights.  The order allows parents to opt out of schools' vaccination requirements on religious grounds. Not surprisingly, the leftist American Civil Liberties Union issued a legal challenge. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his support for the order on Monday. He wrote on X, “I urge state legislators to support the Governor's leadership and protect these fundamental rights. At @HHSgov, we will enforce conscience protections and defend every family's right to make informed health decisions.” Texas public schools will display Ten Commandments On Monday, Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton ordered public schools in the state to display the Ten Commandments. A recent court order blocked some school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments. But Paxton has ordered all districts not affected by the litigation to have the displays up by next week. Paxton wrote, “From the beginning, the Ten Commandments have been irrevocably intertwined with America's legal, moral, and historical heritage. … The woke radicals seeking to erase our nation's history will be defeated. I will not back down from defending the virtues and values that built this country.” In Deuteronomy 6:6-9, God said, “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. … You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Cracker Barrel keeps logo but pushes sexual perversion And finally, Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday it will keep its classic logo after significant backlash. The restaurant chain planned to sanitize its logo by removing the famous “old timer” figure leaning against a barrel. The drawing is based on Uncle Herschel McCartney, the real uncle of Cracker Barrel founder Dan Evins.   The company's stock dropped nearly $100 million last week in response to the rebranding.   President Donald Trump praised the decision to keep the classic logo. So did U.S. GOP Congressman Byron Donalds, a Republican representative for Florida.  He wrote on X, “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It's time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again.” D.C. Draino tweeted, “Oh, and keep the original interiors. We want to eat in Grandma's home, not Grandma's nursing home.” And Brandon Wilinkson, who featured screenshots of Cracker Barrel's LGBTQ+ Alliance logo, tweeted, “You want us to come back?  Scrap the woke DEI-pandering policies and fire the CEO. Until that happens, my family won't be coming back. You forget who your customers are. They aren't woke liberals in the cities. It's regular, working-class Americans that still hold traditional American values!” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, August 28th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

One of our dear listeners sent in this prompt: Episode idea: discussion of the growing movement among Protestants to entrust their fertility entirely to God (the quiver full movement), even sometimes in the presence of health issues, vs what is wise stewardship of our health if more pregnancies could endanger the life of the mother. I think I'm wording it badly, and it doesn't have to be an either or. I don't have a set position on either side, but I'd probably lean towards the "preserve the mother's health" side, in a prayerful Godly way.…and today we're discussing it!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/alternatively-formerly-conspiracy-pilled--6248227/support.Follow our new Bible Study Channel - No Wrong Questions on YouTube!https://www.youtube.com/@NoWrongQuestionsSupport the show, access all of our episodes ad free, and get bonus OVERDOSE episodes on LOCALS - https://alternatively.locals.comMERCH - https://conspiracypilled.com/collections/all Join the DISCORD - https://discord.gg/c8Acuz7vC9 Give this podcast a 5 Star Review - https://ratethispodcast.com/conspiracypilled Middleborne Arms – https://middlebornearms.comBecause swords are awesome!North Arrow Coffee- https://northarrowcoffee.co Use code CONSPIRACY10 to get 10% off your order! The Show — @_Alternatively on XAbby — @abbythelibb_ on X and InstagramLiz — @adelethelaptop on XJon — @Kn0tfersail on X

Today we take a sobering look at the similarities between the New Mass and Protestant liturgies. Father explains how changes made by Luther and Cranmer in the 16th century—reducing the priesthood, eliminating sacrifice, and downplaying the Real Presence—are echoed in the Novus Ordo. We examine how a Mass shaped by ecumenism and a new theology ends up looking more like a Protestant service than the Traditional Latin Mass. This episode lays out the evidence, side-by-side, and asks: Can we worship like Protestants without thinking—and believing—like them?

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  – – – – – – What is the SSPX? The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org

Thousands of American Christians are converting to the Eastern Orthodox faith — yet most American Catholics and Protestants know little to nothing about it. What do the Orthodox believe, what sets them apart from other denominations, and what has it attracting so many converts? Charlie spoke to Orthodox convert, priest, and author Fr. John Strickland for more than hour to learn the ins and outs of this ancient form of Christianity that is brand new to most of America. You can find "The Age of Nihilism" and other books by Fr. Strickland at https://store.ancientfaith.com/the-age-of-nihilism-christendom-from-the-great-war-to-the-culture-wars/ Watch every episode ad-free on members.charliekirk.com!

Today, we're doing a deep dive into Catholic and Protestant views on Mary. We break down the four Catholic dogmas — mother of God, Immaculate Conception, perpetual virginity, and Assumption — explaining their traditional foundations. We contrast these with Protestant beliefs, rooted in sola scriptura, viewing Mary as a faithful, humble servant without divine status. Did Mary have children after Jesus, and was she assumed into heaven? We take a look at these questions and more. Share the Arrows 2025 is on October 11 in Dallas, Texas!
