Today, we're joined by Jenn Nizza, a former psychic who turned away from the occult and is now sharing the truth of the gospel and the dangers of New Age beliefs. Jenn shares her story of becoming a psychic, learning to read tarot cards, and beginning a career giving “readings” to people. We discuss the deception of New Age beliefs and why people are so unaware of demonic influence. Jenn shares her testimony of calling out to Jesus in desperation and deciding to put her faith in him and turn away from her career as a psychic. She also shares what Christians should really think about yoga and why we should be discerning about the occult glorification in Hollywood and the music industry, especially when it comes to artists like Taylor Swift.

Why do governments educate their citizens? More than 200 years ago, Western regimes shifted the responsibility of education from the family to the state. The political scientist Agustina Paglayan argues that this transition happened not in pursuit of democratic ideals, but in the interest of social control.  Further reading:  Raised to Obey: The Rise and Spread of Mass Education, by Agustina Paglayan  “How Reconstruction Created American Public Education," by Adam Harris  “Was Weber Wrong?

Louisiana just passed a law that puts the Ten Commandments in public classrooms. That got us thinking: Where do the Ten Commandments really come from?

Today we're joined by tattoo artist and entrepreneur Kat Von D to discuss her incredible testimony of coming to faith in Christ and her ongoing faith journey. Kat explains her upbringing and how she initially rebelled against going to church because it was only something she was told to do. We take a look at her rise to fame through the shows "Miami Ink" and "LA Ink" and her interest in spiritual practices that were just methods of putting Band-Aids on a sinking ship. She recalls her journey to sobriety and how her husband helped her readjust her thinking on not just her faith but also some political topics. We discuss her viral baptism video, some of the backlash she's gotten from both non-Christians and Christians, and how she can actually use certain aspects of her life and style to reach those who may feel ostracized by Christianity or “Christian culture.” Then, what would Kat tell those who have questions about Christianity as she did? --- Relevant Episodes: Ep 170 | Is It OK to Celebrate Halloween? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-170-is-it-ok-to-celebrate-halloween/id1359249098?i=1000452267090 Ep 514 | Halloween: Satanic Trick or Harmless Treat? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-514-halloween-satanic-trick-or-harmless-treat/id1359249098?i=1000540050585 Ep 697 | Revealing the Real Origins of Halloween | Guests: Jeremiah Roberts & Andrew Soncrant (Cultish) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-697-revealing-the-real-origins-of-halloween/id1359249098?i=1000583868843 --- Buy Allie's book, You're Not Enough (& That's Okay): Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love: https://alliebethstuckey.com/book Relatable merchandise – use promo code 'ALLIE10' for a discount: https://shop.blazemedia.com/collections/allie-stuckey Learn more about your ad choices.

In this conversation, Natalie Smolenski discusses the intersection of Bitcoin, anthropology, and political economy. She explores the debate on the origin of money and the clash between anthropologists and economists. Smolenski argues that money is a social technology that can take different forms based on trust and use cases. She examines the limitations of fiat currency and the importance of trust in debt settlement. Smolenski also discusses the rise of Bitcoin as a competing institution to traditional currencies and the threat to open source development in the EU. We also discuss various topics related to jurisdictional arbitrage, the Texas Bitcoin Foundation, the challenges facing universities, and the future of higher education.

Rather than debunking Christmas myths (which we did in an earlier episode anyway), today we'll be looking at the origins of two of our most cherished and enduring Christmas traditions: the Christmas tree and the Nativity scene. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/revisionisthistory/support

What if the Christmas tree had more to do with paganism than Christianity? What if your favorite holiday celebrations were more inclusive, less religious, and yet equally festive? We explore secular alternatives like Human Light and Festivus, and address the 'Happy Holidays' vs 'Merry Christmas' debate in an attempt to foster inclusivity and respect for everyone's beliefs during this festive season. Strap in as we journey back to the rise of the religious right in the 70s and 80s, a movement not birthed out of conflicts over sex education or abortion, but a court ruling disallowing tax exemptions for religious schools endorsing racial discrimination. We analyze the political activism of Jerry Falwell and Ralph Reed, and their influence on the 2016 and 2020 elections. Ronald Reagan's role in the movement and he led to Donald Trump. We round off the episode by spotlighting the issue of conservative religious groups violating tax laws and the IRS's backlog of untouched cases due to political influence. Beware that you aren't indirectly supporting discrimination or a conservative agenda.

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss aliens. With more and more speculation about aliens in the media, we ask if it's actually possible for aliens to exist from a biblical standpoint. We take a look at the creation order and whether other sentient beings can exist outside our planet. Then we explain why extraterrestrial practices always seem to be connected to cult practices and talk about the idea that aliens are just demons. And if alien encounters have happened for years now as some claim, why don't we have further evidence?

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on Scientology and its many controversies. On this episode we're diving into the even darker side of Scientology, featuring government conspiracies and intimidation tactics. We discuss what may have happened to Shelly Miscavige, wife of the leader of Scientology, who mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen since 2007. We also look at some of the intimidation and control tactics that Scientology uses to divide families and break up relationships. We talk about the tragic stories of forced abortions and rape cover-ups that have surfaced regarding Scientology and explain why the famous "billion-year contract" is so detrimental to families and children stuck in Scientology. We also speculate why exactly Scientology is so appealing to the already rich and famous. Check out the Cultish website and Instagram!

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss Scientology. Because Scientology is in the news so often, we start off with an explanation of what it actually is and how it gets people hooked. We discuss how similar its structure sounds to multi-level marketing and the prosperity gospel and what was going on in America that caused this to boom in the '50s, '60s and '70s. We talk about the wild "intergalactic" lore of Scientology and how, similar to other cults, what actually goes on behind the scenes is never communicated to a potential convert. At Scientology's core, the problems it is trying to solve are the same ones we all try to solve, but the solutions are all man-made and the opposite of freedom. We offer a theological perspective and explain why Scientology and Christianity are so opposed to each other. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," for part two of our discussion on the Hebrew Roots Movement. We start off with some parallels to the Reformation but with the clear distinction that our authority is not Martin Luther, it's Scripture. We talk about how culture has seeped into the church in negative ways and how we tend to overcorrect and find opposite solutions that still may not be biblical. We explain how we shouldn't be reactionary to culture but know that culture should grow from the church and that God is gracious to see our overcorrections and bring us back.

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss the Hebrew Roots Movement, which places a strong emphasis on Hebrew traditions and the law of Moses. We start off with some fundamentals of the Hebrew Roots Movement and comparisons to Armstrongism. How do they view the feasts and sabbath, and for followers of the HRM, is salvation tied up in keeping those feasts/law? We explain how when legalism becomes your identity, the rest of our faith breaks down and how we need to be careful with man-made traditions. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow!

In today's show, we want to explore a very real and, we think, a very important question: Did Joe Biden's actions in Ukraine lead to the creation of the Russiagate hoax? We're beginning to strongly suspect this may be so. It seems obvious that once Mr. Biden had sorted out the prosecutor situation in Ukraine, he needed to make sure his actions stayed hidden. All the more so because it seems impossible to believe that then-President Obama didn't have at least a general idea of what his vice-president was up to in Ukraine—as well as in China and Romania. Indeed, it seems likely to us that the coverup was really more about protecting Mr. Obama than protecting Mr. Biden. And if that's true, the entire D.C. complex couldn't afford to have Donald Trump poking around Ukraine as the new president. Which explains the sudden and intensified targeting of the Trump campaign in the late spring of 2016. ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

In this episode, Charlie Kirk sounds the alarm about the shocking revelations about Dr. Fauci's involvement in a cover-up of the true origins of COVID-19. Kirk exposes the deep state's efforts to conceal the virus's link to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and explains how this allowed the left to exploit the pandemic for their own political gain.

Today we're talking about Andy Stanley's latest controversy after he said in a conference speech that gay churchgoers seem to have a lot more faith than straight ones. We explain why the language Stanley uses, as well as his dismissal of scripture (calling relevant verses "clobber passages"), is ultimately unloving, as it dismisses the need for repentance for both this lifestyle and the reliance upon "sexual identity." We break down exactly what he said in his speech and give some background info on Stanley's history of controversy. In 2018, Stanley found himself in hot water after he undermined the authority of scripture in a speech, claiming that Christians should "unhitch" from the Old Testament. And ultimately, if Andy Stanley believes he can do a better job of reaching people than God can, or believes that God is too harsh, then we should call this out. Then, we're joined by Jacob Kersey, a former police officer who made headlines last week after he was put on leave for refusing to take down a social media post expressing his Christian views on same-sex marriage. He decided to resign after he was told he was not allowed to post "offensive" beliefs on his personal social media, and he's now speaking out about the importance of being an outspoken and bold believer. Jacob shares some encouragement for those in similar positions.

Today we're joined again by Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant, hosts of the podcast "Cultish," this time to discuss the origins of Halloween and how Christians should view the holiday. We look at Samhain, a Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season, and its origins and true meaning, as well as how it has historically been linked to Halloween's origins. We also talk about Guy Fawkes Day and the history of trick or treat and ultimately ask the question: Should Christians celebrate Halloween? If so, where is the line between celebrating death and gore and celebrating a kid-friendly festive holiday? We talk about the importance of understanding that we're in a cultural free fall into neo-Paganism and how this might contribute to our understanding and celebration of Halloween.

The 2022 Matthew Simpson Lecture in Religion was an in-person event at Simpson for the first time since 2019, and Dartmouth's Randall Balmer came to speak on the origins of the rise of the Religious Right as a political force in America. Balmer argues that it wasn't abortion that provided the issue that galvanized evangelical leaders, but rather their desire to protect segregated private religious schools. Balmer is nationally known for his research and expertise on the Religious Right in America.

"A pregnant woman was going down to the Planned Parenthood clinic in Jericho, PA, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stole her purse with her cell phone, her money, and credit cards, leaving her dazed by the side of the road..." -Margaret Kamitsuka There's a lot of bad Christian theology out there trying to restrict people's rights, but what if a pro-choice perspective is actually the MOST Christian stance. How does a Christian ethic of care, hospitality and kénosis actually make a stronger argument for pro-choice than anti-choice postures? What does our experience of God say? Church tradition? Reason? What does the BIBLE say? (spoiler alert... it doesn't look great for the anti-choice extremists...)

Rightly so, abortion is one of the most complex and critical ethical issues of our day. Uncertain how to competently engage the topic, I buried my head in the sand for too long, claiming, "I don't do politics."What a fool I have been.Learn alongside us and dig into "The Real Origins of the Religious Right: They'll tell you it was abortion. Sorry, the historical record's clear: It was segregation." (By Dr. Balmer)It's sobering to realize I have been part of the problem and hopeful to discover I am also part of the solution to human flourishing.In this episode, we are joined by a close seminary friend, Rev Anne Garner, whose work over the last two decades has been defined by hospitality, justice, and radical love.Anne grounds this complicated conversation in love for all humankind as we examine political origin stories and their impact today.PRIMARY SOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE:American Historians & Professors, The Rev.

A history of Roe v. Wade in the context of its impending reversal.The United Nations lists forced pregnancy as a crime against humanity in Article 7.1.g of the Rome Statue of the International Criminal Court. If you like our content, please become a patron to access both our premium episodes and our public episodes ad-free. Forced pregnancy is listed near murder, enslavement, and the crime of apartheid. An abortion ban is forcing women to be pregnant and give birth. A sexual violence component is linked to this crime: in this case, that component is obliging a rape victim to carry a pregnancy to term and give birth. 1 The leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe Vs Wade is not only an attack on women's rights. In some states, it will also be a ban on IUDs, condoms, and even a ban on medications used for treating ectopic pregnancy and miscarriages. Women will have less access to medical services such as cancer screenings and the Papanicolaou test. Raped young girls will be forced to give birth. The same will apply to incest and cases where the pregnancy risks to the mothers' life. Plan B even would be prohibited, the morning-after pill could trigger a murder charge. Even countries like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia have more liberalized abortion laws. 2 In some US states, the abortion laws are already insane: In Alabama, the penalty for getting an abortion after you are raped is more severe than the penalty for raping someone. Some pharmacists in Texas are ALREADY refusing to fill prescriptions to treat ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages as some of the drugs used in those cases are also used for abortions. And outside of abortion, Texas has also implemented a "loyalty oath to Israel" requirement for state employees including school teachers that is working through the courts. 3 We also discuss Jane Roe aka Norma McCorvey, Linda Coffee, Sarah Weddington, Gloria Allred, feminism, Matt Gaetz, “overeducated”, and the fact that it was Republicans like Nixon and Reagan who first passed abortion laws. We discuss the Supreme Court Republican nominated Justices: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barret. We hear about abortion bans in Ceausescu's Romania, then explain how racism and the Green v. Connally decision are the root of the American anti abortion craze via a man named Paul Weyrich and Jerry Falwell. Bob Jones University and its founder claimed that racial segregation was mandated by the Bible. Then we discuss the separation of church and state, and Jimmy Carter's election details in this context. We also address the foster system and state of social services in the US. We discuss the senate vote on codifying Roe vs. Wade as well. 4 We look at the countries that rolled back abortion laws in the last 20 years: El Salvador, Nicaragua and Poland. 1.

Bad Faith: Race and the Rise of the Religious Right by Randall Balmer A surprising and disturbing origin story There is a commonly accepted story about the rise of the Religious Right in the United States. It goes like this: with righteous fury, American evangelicals entered the political arena as a unified front to fight the legality of abortion after the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. The problem is this story simply isn't true. Largely ambivalent about abortion until the late 1970s, evangelical leaders were first mobilized not by Roe v. Wade but by Green v. Connally, a lesser-known court decision in 1971 that threatened the tax-exempt status of racially discriminatory institutions—of which there were several in the world of Christian education at the time. When the most notorious of these schools, Bob Jones University, had its tax-exempt status revoked in 1976, evangelicalism was galvanized as a political force and brought into the fold of the Republican Party. Only later, when a more palatable issue was needed to cover for what was becoming an increasingly unpopular position following the civil rights era, was the moral crusade against abortion made the central issue of the movement now known as the Religious Right. In this greatly expanded argument from his 2014 Politico article “The Real Origins of the Religious Right,” Randall Balmer guides the reader along the convoluted historical trajectory that began with American evangelicalism as a progressive force opposed to slavery, then later an isolated apolitical movement in the mid-twentieth century, all the way through the 2016 election in which 81 percent of white evangelicals coalesced around Donald Trump for president. The pivotal point, Balmer shows, was the period in the late 1970s when American evangelicals turned against Jimmy Carter—despite his being one of their own, a professed “born-again” Christian—in favor of the Republican Party, which found it could win their loyalty through the espousal of a single issue. With the implications of this alliance still unfolding, Balmer's account uncovers the roots of evangelical watchwords like “religious freedom” and “family values” while getting to the truth of how this movement began—explaining, in part, what it has become.

This week we met up with Hani AlMalki aka Bedouinfoodie, Dubai-based restaurant reviewer extraordinaire and food history buff. Hani shares snippets from his multicultural upbringing in the historic port city of Jeddah and his early experiences with Michelin-starred cuisine during business meetings between his parents and master perfumer Jean-Paul Guerlain in Paris. Hashem and Hani also discuss the influences of pilgrims in Mecca and Madinah on Saudi cuisine, and how pilgrimage even led to the creation of a famous Indonesian street food, Murtabak. Bedouinfoodie reveals some of the methods behind his reviews, what the future of Saudi's culinary landscape entails, the ingredients of a foodie destination, and what's still missing from Dubai's food scene.

How in the world did we get here? How have things gone so far downhill, so fast? Organized violence. Churches burning. Society in chaos on multiple levels. What has happened? Join Matthew Leonard and author Noelle Mering as they zero in on the "woke" movement – what it is, where it comes from, and what it wants. But this isn't about politics. It's about spirituality. It's about the human person. It's about an attempted radical reshaping of who we are in and of ourselves that is fundamentally flawed and anti-Christian.

In this episode of "Painting the Corners with Anton Schindler," we go on a journey debunking myths and uncovering evidence that may lead to the real origins of baseball. It's a heavily contested and discussed topic, as it seems no one is really quite sure where baseball started, what inspired the creation of it or how it became the game it is today. But in this episode, we'll pull together all the evidence and try to make sense of it all. 

Fasten your seat belts folks, what follows is quite the trip... In this episode we continue our series on the conservation of humanity, exploring and identifying the actual origins of the SARS-CoV2 virus. This will be radical and thought provoking information for many. Today we are fortunate to host a very special guest. Joining us for this episode is Dr. Li-Meng Yan. Dr. Yan is a medical doctor, Ph.D. virologist and independent coronavirus expert. She was educated at two top medical schools in China, Southern Medical University and Central South University. She was also conducted a Post-doctoral Fellow in the School of Public Health at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Because of her extensive professional network and scientific evidence, Dr. Yan has the distinction of being the only Chinese insider in the west with first hand knowledge about the true nature of the virus as well as the CCP's deceptive methods used to disguise their international bioweapons research. Recognizing the great danger posed by the virus and the CCP plot to cover up its nefarious activities, Dr. Yan fled to the United States to reveal the truth to the world. Since coming to America, Dr. Yan has been the primary author of three research reports detailing the lab origins of SARS-CoV-2. Since escaping from Hong Kong on April 28, 2020, she has been interviewed four times by the FBI, including an FBI virologist, and each time she has been deemed credible. Dr. Yan has attracted worldwide media attention, being interviewed by major news outlets in India, Spain, Japan, Italy, and across Asia. Examples include The Washington Post, FOX NEWS, NEWSMAX, The Daily Mail, and Tucker Carlson Tonight.

I hope that you enjoy this podcast. This podcast addresses briefly, the history of American racism. Given how broad that subject is, even with this being a longer podcast, I was not able to cover as much as I would like. I like to call this a narrative history as it tells the story of racism in America and how it has benefited whiteness. This is Part2 of the 5 part series on Antiracism.

According to one study, from 1920-1960 about 70% of high schools omitted evolution from their textbooks. While ultimately unsuccessful, Christian Fundamentalists of the early 20th century led the crusade against evolution, and after public disgrace and a name change, the evangelicals in America have leveraged their influence to change the course of our country and the world.

**WARNING: Mature Subject Matter Jaye concludes her two-part discussion of the abortion issue in Part II. She discusses the origins of the Religious Right after the Roe v. Wade US Supreme Court decision in 1973, and the role abortion as a political issue played in the formation of the Religious Right. Jaye also reacts to the tendency of the pro-life movement to co-opt equality movements for their own purposes. In addition, alternatives and solutions that would lower abortion rates are presented. Does the pro-life movement truly want to save the lives of the unborn? Thank you for listening! Listen, subscribe, rate us 5 stars, and share!

In today's episode, host Jaye Pool analyzes how the Third Way of the Democratic Party and the Religious Right, aligned with the Republican party, have led to a fractured, broken political system and democracy in peril. Delving into the histories of both movements that span several decades, Jaye argues that while these movements are different ideologically, both are rooted in a common choice to compromise on core values. Have these choices Democrats and white evangelical Christians made to compromise generations ago led to their logical conclusion in 2017? Citations: Balmer, Randall. 2014.
