Podcasts about pulpits

Last Hope of a Dying Republic with Rev. William Cook – A recurring theme is the relationship between religion, morality, and government. Dr. Flick argues that many founders viewed moral and religious principles as important foundations for self-government. He also discusses the origins of concepts such as natural law and claims that Christian thinkers and pastors helped shape these ideas...

Host Jeff Shepard traces a single ancient lie — "You will become like God" — from Genesis through modern Christian teaching that elevates humanity to divinity. Using recorded statements from well-known ministers such as Kenneth Copeland, Paul Crouch, Bill Johnson, and Benny Hinn, this episode shows how phrases like "I am a little God" and "made man into little gods" echo the serpent's promise in the garden and reappear on pulpits, stages, and television screens today. The episode examines the theological danger of denying Christ's eternal deity, explaining why Jesus must be fully God from the beginning for his sacrifice to save. Key Scripture references are discussed — John 1:1,14; Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 42:8 — and listeners are reminded that we are redeemed, adopted, and made new in Christ but not converted into divine beings. The program connects modern Sons-of-God teachings to earlier occult and New Age streams, including Theosophy (Helena Blavatsky), Alice Bailey, and the latter rain movement, revealing a continuous influence behind the idea of human divinization. Practical application is emphasized: test all teaching against Scripture, heed the Apostle Paul's warning in 1 Timothy 4:1 about deceitful spirits, and emulate the Bereans by examining the Word carefully. While exposing error, the host affirms that God still meets sincere seekers of the true Jesus — the eternal Son of God who became flesh, died, rose again, and will return as King. Listeners are encouraged to stand firm in orthodox Christian truth, reject teachers who strip Christ of his deity, and live out their faith by loving God, family, and neighbors while making a difference in their communities.

#Nightlight #RTTBROS The Fire in the Pulpits"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people." — Proverbs 14:34 (KJV)Back in the 1830s, a sharp French philosopher named Alexis de Tocqueville made the long voyage across the Atlantic to figure out what made this young American experiment tick. He was genuinely curious, not cynical, and he looked everywhere you'd expect a philosopher to look. He examined the harbors, the rivers, the rich farmland stretching to the horizon, and that remarkable Constitution. None of it fully answered his question.Then he walked into the churches.He wrote what he found, and his words still stop me cold: "I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers, and it was not there... in her fertile fields and boundless forests, and it was not there... in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits aflame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."Friend, history is just HIS story, and that observation from an outside observer says something we desperately need to hear today.Now here's where I have to be careful, because I've made this mistake myself more times than I care to admit. A pulpit aflame with righteousness is not the same thing as a pulpit that beats people over the head with their failures. I spent some of my early ministry years thinking my job was to make people feel the full weight of their sin and then stand back and watch them straighten up. Too soon old and too late smart on that one.The truth is, we're called to speak the truth in love, as Paul puts it in Ephesians 4:15. Not truth without love, which becomes a hammer. And not love without truth, which becomes mush. When we're talking to a friend caught in something that's destroying them, the goal isn't to look down from some pedestal. It's to get level with them, eye to eye, one beggar showing another beggar where to find bread.That's the fire Tocqueville saw. Not rage. Not condemnation. Righteousness that loved people enough to tell them the truth.Lord, relight that fire in us today. Not just in pulpits, but in living rooms and workplaces and coffee shops, wherever Your people open their mouths. Give us the courage to speak truth and the grace to speak it with love.

Host Scott Hennen counts down to America's 250th anniversary with a deep dive into North Dakota's crowning contribution: the upcoming Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Scott challenges the "ho-hum" attitude toward the project, explaining why this interactive museum in Medora is set to become a global destination and a powerful symbol of American resilience. The episode moves from historical legacies to modern-day battlegrounds as Scott welcomes a heavy-hitting lineup of guests. Minnesota Senate candidate and battle-tested warrior Adam Swarzi joins the show to discuss the strategic importance of the Iranian blockade and the "trillions in fraud" still lurking beneath the surface of government spending. VA Secretary Doug Collins provides an exclusive "report card" on veterans' care, detailing how the administration has slashed the claims backlog from 260,000 to 80,000 in record time. Finally, the show tackles the alarming rise of global Christian persecution and the economic shift of "de-dollarization" with experts Martin Moyer and David Fisher.

In this episode of the RSM Frontline Servants Program, Tom Weaver talks with Bill Dinwiddie, preacher at First Christian Church in Byrdstown, Tennessee, about his lifelong journey from baseball dreams to a calling in ministry. Bill recounts pivotal moments—camps that shaped his faith, a career‑ending injury, early preaching experiences, and years of pastoral work through successes and crises. Bill also shares how disciplined Bible reading and an unexpected online ministry grew his reach, his experiences with church leadership, and practical encouragement for those called to serve: stick with the call, stay rooted in Scripture, and trust God through the ups and downs.

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Professor Richard Carwardine. Carwardine explains that while the Civil Warwas won on battlefields, peace was secured at the pulpits. Lincoln recognized the influence of religious nationalists who were initially critical of him, understanding he needed their attention and support to knit the fractured Union back together during the conflict.1860 LINCOLN AFTER THE 1860 ELECTION BUT BEFORE THE INAUGURATION. WORKED FROM AN OFFFICE IN SPRINGFIELD.

"Let worship INVADE your circumstances" Jesus declared that his disciples would be his witnesses “to the ends of the earth.” Early Christians lived out this proclamation in powerful and palpable ways. Today we struggle to witness to those close to us, let alone to those at the ends of the earth. This series offers a glimpse into ways early Christians witnessed. Impacted?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 19:1-3. This isn't just another story—it's a wake-up call. The Levite's failure reminds us how quickly spiritual leaders can drift from conviction to compromise. God is looking for men and women who will not only know His Word but live it, defend it, and pass it on with courage. In those days, when there was no king in Israel, a certain Levite was sojourning in the remote parts of the hill country of Ephraim, who took to himself a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. And his concubine was unfaithful to him, and she went away from him to her father's house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there some four months. Then her husband arose and went after her, to speak kindly to her and bring her back. He had with him his servant and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into her father's house. And when the girl's father saw him, he came with joy to meet him. — Judges 19:1-3 By the time we reach Judges 19, Israel has plunged to its lowest point. Even the Levites—men once set apart to teach and guard God's law—no longer remember it. The opening line says it all: "There was no king in Israel." In other words, there was no authority, no truth, no standard—only self-rule. Here stands a Levite, a man supposed to model holiness. Instead, he takes a concubine—a live-in girlfriend with marital benefits but no covenant commitment. She betrays him, runs home, and after months apart, he decides he wants her back. The relationship is dysfunctional from every direction. But the greater tragedy is this: a priest who should lead God's people can't even lead himself. That's the climate of moral collapse—when spiritual leaders trade holiness for cultural conventions, then the nation no longer knows what righteousness looks like. We live in the same era of moral relativism—everyone doing what seems right in their own eyes. Churches ordain what God calls sin. Pulpits preach self-esteem instead of repentance. Pastors chase applause over truth. But notice they still wear the robes, carry the titles, build buildings, and quote a few verses—but like this Levite, they've abandoned the covenant. And the result? Confused believers. Compromised faith. A generation that can no longer tell the difference between God's truth and cultural tolerance. We've come a long way from Joshua's bold declaration—"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Now we say, "As for me and the truth, we'll do what feels right." When leaders forget the Word, the people follow their feelings. And when that happens, nations collapse from the inside long before enemies ever invade. The Levite's story isn't just a scandal—it's a warning shot and a challenge. When God's people drift from His Word, it's not enough to simply shake our heads—we must act. Step up where he stepped back. Lead where he lacked courage. Recommit to Scripture in your home, your marriage, your circle of influence. Because when we return to God's Word, broken relationships can be healed, leadership restored, and love redeemed. ASK THIS: Where have you seen "moral relativism" creep into the church? Have you traded biblical truth for cultural comfort in any area of life? What voices in your life hold you accountable to Scripture? How can you encourage your pastor—or yourself—to stand firm on truth this week? DO THIS: Pray daily for pastors and leaders to preach truth with courage and clarity. Recommit to reading Scripture before social media or news; make God's Word your authority again. PRAY THIS: Lord, reignite conviction in Your people. Make us builders of truth and defenders of faith. Give us courage to lead boldly where others have drifted, and help us restore what weak leadership has lost. Commission us to act—not just believe—so that Your Word defines every choice we make. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come to the Altar."

Trump and Hegseth are gearing up to send your kids to die for Israel. Venezuela is the next domino to fall. America's churches have been turned into Israeli fundraising centers and Third-Temple death cults run by fake Khazar “Jews” and their bought-off goy preachers. Pastor Chuck Baldwin joins Stew to burn the entire satanic system straight to hell.   The criminal cabal is using YOUR money to bomb kids overseas and replace us with third-world invaders, all funded by the biggest lie ever told: federal income tax. Peymon Mottahedeh joins Stew tonight to prove there's NO LAW requiring you to file or pay, and shows you exactly how to legally cut them off tomorrow and starve the beast.   The COVID “vaccine” was a military grade bioweapon attack on humanity and the monsters who mandated it are still in power. Paul Rozell lost his 28 years at United Airlines for refusing the poison jab.   Erika Kirk is exploiting Charlie's tragic assassination to push a phony narrative that he secretly lived a Jewish lifestyle and observed Shabbat, all while hawking his posthumous book to promote Judaism and Israel over real Christianity. The truth is Charlie was waking up to the cabal, rejecting their wars and influence, but now his untrustworthy inner circle is rewriting history for power and millions.

It was a busy week all around! Frank took the pulpit at Lakeview, proving once again that he can preach and keep everyone awake. Tim decided to skip church altogether (don't worry, he calls it “Sabbath”), and Andrew crashed Lakeview's staff meeting like the uninvited intern he never was.Over at Safety Harbor, there's a new interim worship leader holding things down for a couple of weeks—because nothing says “holiday season” like a little transition. And just to keep things interesting, the church is kicking off a construction project right before Christmas. What could possibly go wrong?Tune in for ministry updates, friendly roasting, and your weekly reminder that God's still faithful, even when the building plans aren't.

Are the people in the pews more Conservative than the pastors in the pulpit? In this Smith and Rowland Show Podcast, Alan Smith and Jeff Rowland react to new data that says many church leaders lean Liberal while their congregations do not. They walk through key parts of a Prophecy Newswatch article, open their Bibles, and talk honestly about seminaries, church silence on social and political issues, and what happens when pastors fear for their jobs more than they fear God. From pinto beans and Thanksgiving laughs to hard talk about clergy, pews, and the future of the local church, this episode stays real, biblical, and practical. If you care about preaching, theology, and the direction of the American church, you will want to hear this one to the end. Watch, share, and tell us in the comments where you see the biggest gap between pulpit and pew in your world.

Personal Revival, Nation Awakening & Generational ReformationWe are in an urgent "wake up call' and a "stand at attention" moment. Everything is shifting and rapidly changing. In the midst of tragedy, the Holy Spirit is sweeping this nation and drawing all to JESUS—and we rejoice. Awakening is bursting. As millions are grieving, processing, and mourning the unfathomable loss of Charlie Kirk's life, something is terribly wrong and perplexing—there are silent pulpits of cowardice and neutrality. The silent pulpits are showing their true colors of compromise and conformity.

Gary discusses pastors and politics and answers a Facebook commenter named "Missionary Larry." Larry repeats most, if not all, of the Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths mentioned in Gary's book by the same name. Gary points out that politics are unavoidable, and ignoring them only increases the level of them, in any area of life, including church life.

It was a wild week in ministry life! Andrew recapped Safety Harbor's Back to School Pool Party—because nothing says “fall kickoff” like sunscreen and cannonballs. Over at Lakeview, Frank somehow worked “man nipples” into his sermon (yep, you read that right) and also got the unique experience of playing campus pastor for the day.We laughed, we cringed, and we reminded ourselves that God's grace really does cover all things… even questionable sermon illustrations.Join us for another round of post-Sunday reflections, ministry mishaps, and the encouragement we all need on a Monday morning.

Send us a textWhen churches call clergy sexual abuse “moral failings” or “affairs,” they obscure the truth: predatory pastors groom adult congregants using tactics that mirror coercive control and intimate partner violence.Counselor and researcher Jaime Simpson joins us to dismantle myths about consent in faith settings, drawing from her study Broken, Shattered and Spiritually Battered: Groom Pastors Who Prey on Adult Congregation Members. Focusing on evangelical and Pentecostal communities in Australia, her findings reveal systemic grooming—romantic, therapeutic, and spiritual deception—layered with isolation, boundary violations, and theology-based coercion and systematic collusion with perpetrators to hide their criminal behaviours and shield them from accountability with the use of spiritually based forgiveness rituals. Simpson shows how purity culture, male authority, and loyalty to leadership prime congregations for collusion, silence and exploitation, while institutions minimize sexual violence but act swiftly on financial crimes.

The IRS just dropped a bombshell, effectively kneecapping the Johnson Amendment and letting religious organizations openly politick from the pulpit without losing their tax-exempt status. Critics warn this could turn churches into tax-free PACs, funneling dark money into elections and further blurring the lines between church and state. While rarely enforced, this move exposes a glaring double standard, eroding fundamental principles of separation and allowing unchecked religious influence in politics. It's a classic case of religious overreach, threatening the integrity of both institutions and democracy itself, all while secular organizations play by stricter rules. The implications for public policy and fair elections are concerning, as accountability vanishes.News Source:IRS Now Says Pastors Can Endorse Political CandidatesBy NPRJuly 8, 2025

Gary revisits a topic he discussed a few months back about churches and pastors making political endorsements. It has long been believed that churches cannot even mention politics or candidates due to the threat of losing their tax-exempt status. The IRS has finally come out with a statement making the matter very clear. What excuse will churches use now?

Gary discusses two recent writings: one a book by Andrew Klavan and the other an article in World Magazine. Both deal with the question often asked by Dr. Gary North: "What is the proper response?" The Bible has the answers to today's moral dilemmas, but too often people believe that modern issues require modern solutions. The Bible deals with human life as it is, not in an idealized way. For this reason, its "ancient" answers are exactly what we need.

Gary discusses the inconsistent application of religion and politics between the two American political parties. Churches and pastors MUST be involved not only in biblical studies, but in the application of such studies, including in politics. All biblical worldview issues have real-world application, which is the actual reason for teaching the biblical issues in the first place.

Does your church have a pastor? Because if you do, you might want to hold on to him. Because if he leaves you might not be able to get another one. U.S. Pastors are calling it quits across the nation. Elizabeth Russell, “Facebook removes churches' SermonAudio links,” May 5, 2025.U.S. Rep. Mark Harris, “Free speech for pastors, too,” April 15, 2025.Steven Wedgeworth, “A shortage of shepherds,” April 8, 2025.

This week on Bro Talk Live, we're diving deep into controversy, politics, and entertainment.

"The moment the church of God shall despise the pulpit, God will despise her." -Charles SpurgeonThe pulpit is in the way. Pulpits have a long history of being an obstacle that is in the way of the Body of Christ functioning as God intends for it to function. When the Body of Christ is gathered together are we limited to the voice of one person behind a pulpit telling us their opinion of what to believe, what to do, or scolding us for doing it wrong? Or is every believer qualified to participate and contribute with their spiritual gifts, building up the Body of Christ? In this episode, I share examples of how the traditional church mindset elevates the pulpit as the focal point of our meeting together and disables the Body of Christ by limiting participation to the elite few; pastors and church leaders.Other Places You'll Find MeThe Grace Cafe Podcast: https://www.gracecafepodcast.com TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@unsunday.mikeInstagram https://www.instagram.com/unsundayshowYouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/TheUnSundayShowMusic: Podcast Corporate, JD-SoundLicensed for use via Audio Jungle andEnvato Pty, Ltd.Leave Me a Rating/Review

Today, we're excited to present a compelling message from Mike Huckabee, the former Governor of Arkansas, conservative commentator, and US Ambassador-designate to Israel. An ordained Southern Baptist minister, Huckabee calls on the Church to stay true to biblical teachings despite increasing societal pressures to conform to secular values. In this episode, Huckabee addresses the challenges posed by modern cultural shifts, often termed "wokeness," and stresses the importance of adhering to Scripture. He reflects on the favor God has shown Joel and Lynn Rosenberg in building connections with world leaders and highlights Joel's television program on TBN. Huckabee’s powerful insights remind us to ground our moral compass in Scripture and finish our faith journey well. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how the Church can influence today's cultural landscape while remaining steadfast in its faith.

On today's headline day we look at the trajectory of antisemitism around the world. It seemed to have taken a bit of a break during the election cycle but nothing has, or will change, the current direction of antisemitism and it will get worse and worse, a tragedy and a pox upon humanity. From Amsterdam to Belgium, from sea to shining sea in the US, here we go again. And we will speak up about it and we will defend Israel with all we have because it represents the heart of God. And yet "evangelical" churches choose the wrong side in so many churches. Then we look at speaking up about bible prophecy, a great evangelical tool that again, many churches refuse to teach or speak up about. Afraid to mention the rapture? You are not alone because more than ever, you will get an eye-roll followed by a denunciation of some historical sort. And the pulpits are silent on yet again another thing. Headlines and more on today's Stand Up for the Truth, speaking the truth about as many things as we can, of import to the church.   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!
