Gnostic lies seem to get a lot of attention on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and pretty much every social media platform. They claim that people "left things out of the Bible" and that they're the source of how to find truth. The truth however, is as simple as they're making things up. All these texts that were left out of the Bible were left out for good reason - they're gnostic heresies or written too far away from the events of scripture to be relied upon.There's good real reason why Christians reject certain views, and it's not to keep control. Christians reject gnostic ideas because they don't align with truth and aren't why God revealed. In this episode, we respond to a few Gnostic videos that have gained attention and show you the truth of the claims. Enjoy!

Divine Command Theory is a broad belief that that morality comes from God's commands. God says don't murder, murder is wrong. God says do love each other, loving people is good. Pretty straight forward, but it does have some things that raise concerns.
What do we do if God used to command one thing, but now commands a different thing. Does that mean morality is changing? How does God decide what to command? There are number of different questions that come up and we try to ask as many as we can in this interview.
Enjoy!

This is a fun question to ponder that actually matters a ton. Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses don't believe that Jesus is God, but they do believe that He died for their sins. For us, there are two questions that are raised when hearing this: 1. Why do you even need Jesus to die for your sins if you can do good works to enter heaven? and 2. How can Jesus' sacrifice apply to humanity if He isn't divine?
Ezekiel tells us that the righteousness of a righteous man will be upon himself. What we believe that means is that a person's righteousness can't be transported onto someone else. With this in mind, it shouldn't be possible that if Jesus was just a man, that his death would help us escape sin. It's possible that they would dismiss this verse and say that they read it differently, so we go into more philosophical arguments for it.
Enjoy!

There are some videos circulating around the internet claiming that "Jesus wasn't nice" and every so often these types of videos pop off. They tap into the part of a lot of men that feels aggressive and longs to be strong - which is good and we need to know that aggression innately isn't evil. But these takes often don't accurately express what maybe the communicator is trying to say. To say Jesus wasn't nice is like saying Jesus was an angry man. Both are wrong. Jesus is nice, yet he had times of appropriate anger. To be nice doesn't mean you're never bothered, or that you dismiss truth. But it seems, that's what people might have in mind when they make these videos. You can stand up for truth without compromising, confront evil, and be nice. They aren't exclusive to each other. Today we look at this idea that Jesus wasn't nice and compare it to scripture. Enjoy!

We don’t love making videos on politics but every now and then we need to. Recently a video of Charlie Kirk doing a Q&A went viral when he doubled down on his point that you cannot be a Christian and vote democrat. Now, this blanket statement has serious problems. A few being that he may adding to the gospel, putting prerequisites on salvation that Jesus doesn’t, and ultimately leading to more division that unity.
With that said, some points he makes are serious things Christians need to consider. Can we say we love Jesus and vote for obviously ungodly policies that promote evil practices? No we cannot. But both parties have policies that ultimately go in this direction. So, what do we do as Christians??That’s what we are getting into on this episode!

In today's episode we're talking about why we are not Catholic. Some people might think it makes sense to be Catholic because well, before the reformation pretty much every Christian was Catholic. However, that doesn't mean that that's the only way to follow Jesus. We talk about Maryology, transubstantiation, purgatory, and other main Catholics believe that Protestants don't.Enjoy!

Hebrews 6 is one of the most uncomfortable passages in the New Testament. It tells us that if people have tasted the goodness of the Lord and shared in the Holy Spirit, and then gone away, that it's impossible to renew them to repentance. That phrase has lead to many scratching their head, confused, and wondering if this contradicts the loving kindness of the Lord. Is Hebrews 6 talking about the unforgivable sin? Can I be a Christian if I back slide a bit when I was young? Something both of us on this podcast have done. So, are we not saved? Well, to help us answer these questions we invited on Jonathan Spainhour. He's been teaching the Bible now for over ten years, started his own Bible teaching ministry, and has helped thousands process hard questions through scripture. Enjoy!

It seems like everywhere you go, in any church you attend, you're likely to find people who have a problem with how we "do church". And that "we" is anyone in that setting that you find yourself. Whether it's super reformed, charismatic, baptist, or non-denominational (Not catholics and Orthodox though) people have ideas of how to make church "more like Acts". And that was a big trend pre-COVID and in COVID - house churches. House churches have been what many believe to be the right way to do church. But, there's problems with that too. So the big question is, what is the right way to do church? Is it seeker sensitive churches? Is it heavy theologically deep churches? Can we run around in worship and dance or should we remain respectfully and reverently quiet? Is there a right way to do this thing called church? In this epodes we have a great conversation with Pastor Jim Sheldon from Venture, California to discuss this! Enjoy!

The recent attempt to end former President Trump's life and the prophecy from a few months ago calling this almost verbatim has the internet in a frenzy. Shows from all over the political spectrum both Christian and non Christian are looking at this and asking, "Is this a true prophecy?", "Is Trump truly anointed by God to lead this nation?" and, "What does this mean for our nation?"We're releasing this emergency episode to discuss all of this from a cautious and Biblical perspective. We are not trying to come for Brandon Biggs and claim he's a false teacher, we're also not saying this is definitely God's leading. We want to look at this, give any benefit of the doubt we can, and give our best shot at a truthful analysis. Enjoy!Got any questions or topics you’d like to hear about?

In this video Derry and I respond to some of the points they make and we weigh in with our reactions and opinions. This was a super fun episode to do and we know you'll love it! Enjoy!

We love Mormons, we want them to go to heaven, but we think they're wrong. Mormons like to sat that they are Christians because they believe in a version of Jesus. However, no Christian denomination would agree with them. Today we are reacting to a few viral Mormon tiktok's/reels. Our goal isn't to dunk on Mormons and have a a "Gotcha!" moment. Rather, it's to analyze different things they are saying and see if they truly hold up to Christian beliefs. We get into topics like the Trinity, deification, Hell, different verses, and other fun topics! Enjoy!

It seems to us, and to possibly a lot of people in at least America, that Christians believe conspiracies more than non-Christians. Or at the very least, that we can be more given to believe them. Some would say that because we believe in a God we can't see and we exercise faith in the super natural every day that we're easily fooled into believing anything. I don' think that's the case. I think the reason Christians maybe believe in conspiracies more than non-Christians is because we believe in a very real Devil who seriously wants to destroy humanity, and he'll do anything he can to that end AND that people in the real world are following Him to see the same. Dark, yes but I would say true as well, and we're not ones to shy away from truth! Today we are talking about this topic of conspiracies and looking at how Christians should engage with them healthily! Enjoy!

Robert Morris, Trumps Spiritual advisor has been in the news lately for an inappropriate relationship he had with a child 20 years ago. Unfortunately this tragic story is not unique in recent years among celebrity pastors. Robert Morris, Carl Lentz, Ravi Zacharias, and others have caused Christians and the name of Jesus shame through their actions of infidelity and power abuse. It's incredibly sad and something countless other pastors have tried to help others through. Today we're discussing a bit about this and also focusing on when should a pastor step down from the pulpit. We look at relationship to alcohol, adult content, anger problems, gossip, and others. While we want to extend the grace of God to everyone, there's a reason James says that not many of us should want to be leaders because they're held to a higher standard. Enjoy!

Manifestation, also known as the Law of Attraction, is a well known and fast growing spiritual practice backed by celebrities, self-help guru's, and social media influencers all over the world. It's even influenced many Christian in America under the guide of "Name it and claim it" and the prosperity gospel. This is a dangerous belief that asserts the persons will over the will of God. Today we talk about how this belief originated and why Christian's shouldn't do it. Enjoy!

Joey Dodson is a Christian author of a number of books, peer reviewed articles, and essays. He's a professor at Denver Seminary where he is also the Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Endowed Chair of New Testament which basically means he's super smart. Today Joey comes on to talk to us about his book "Conquerers, Not Captives" regarding Romans 7 and who the "wretch" is. Romans 7 is the famous passage where Paul says that the good he wants to do he doesn't do and the bad he doesn't want to do, he does. Many Christians including us at some point have looked to this verse to explain our struggle with sin. The problem though, as Joey and others have put forth, is that Romans 7 isn't a universal prescription of the Christian experience. It might not even be about Paul, or ANY Christian whatsoever actually. Joey believes Paul is talking about himself BEFORE he was a Christian because the surrounding passages say the EXACT opposite of "We are slave to sins." With this profound rereading of the text we realize that freedom is truly possible and that we can resist the enemy and we aren't doomed to repeat the same sins over and over and over!Enjoy!

There seems to be a contradiction between Paul and James on how to be saved. James says faith without works is dead and Paul says that works can't save you. So, how do we as Christians understand this dilemma? Today we get into this question and provide clarity on how to understand this tension. Enjoy!

Election is often understood as God's individuals sovereign choice of salvation of people. That God chooses individuals to become Christians and therefore also chooses people to not become Christians. Now, this obviously causes a lot of people to have harsh reactions either in favor of or against this view. It's been the center of debate for generations and probably still will be. Today Derry and I discuss this topic and offer a Biblically sound non Calvinist explanation of how to understand Election Enjoy!

Evangelism is one of the main practices Christians should partake in, yet in many circles it's the least done. Whether for fear, lack of confidence, or never being told to Christians lack in evangelism and find it awkward to do.
Today we are arguing that every Christian needs to do evangelism and why.

Christians are called to stand up for the rights of others. We're also called to love our enemies. What is the line between doing good to those who hurt us as Jesus said and standing up against evil to save lives even if it requires violence? That is the topic we are discussing today! Enjoy!
