Conversations That Matter

Jon Harris discusses the Supreme Court’s major Voting Rights Act ruling that limits racial gerrymandering and could deliver Republicans additional congressional seats, the latest Trump assassination attempt and the shooter’s manifesto, and why Christians must reject conspiracy-driven narratives that blame Jews or Israel for everything. He also covers the state of the American church, encouraging signs in Bible reading and attendance, Southern Baptist controversies including women pastors and the Will McRaney case, Virginia redistricting battles, cultural issues like marriage intimacy and demographics, and more. A call for truth, discernment, and faithfulness in a chaotic time.

Jon Harris discusses whether James Talarico can be considered a Christian given his support for abortion and transgenderism, critiques David French's reluctance to draw boundaries, and covers current events including the SPLC's informant scandal, Virginia redistricting drama, and SBC issues. He then responds in-depth to critics of his recent article on Jewish people, Romans 9-11, land promises, and church history, while addressing broader concerns about influence, evangelism, and maintaining biblical fidelity amid heated online debates.

In this episode, we examine the historiography of the Lost Cause from the original post-war vindications, to the North-South reconciliation truce of the early 20th century, to how modern professional historians reframed it as a dangerous “myth.” We also discuss Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger’s recent laws targeting Confederate heritage groups and Robert E. Lee license plates, and why the ongoing erasure of Southern symbols represents a deeper fracture in American identity.

Rod Martin explains his shift from Southern Baptist issues to in-depth foreign policy analysis, why Trump’s long-consistent realist approach to Iran, China, and global trade is strategically brilliant, and why conservatives should feel optimistic about his predictions regarding regime change in Iran, lower oil prices, an economic boom, and the midterms. The conversation also covers America’s proper role as global hegemon, deep-state resistance, and encouraging updates on reform within the Southern Baptist Convention.

Jon Harris details how IX Marks published resources that portrayed racism as a pervasive institutional problem in white evangelical churches, promoted racial reconciliation efforts that echoed leftist framing (such as rejecting color-blindness, emphasizing white privilege, and linking police incidents to systemic racism), expanded the gospel to include anti-racism work, normalized singleness and same-sex attraction in ways that downplayed biblical marriage and family, showed uneven responses to cultural issues (softer on LGBT matters early on while being more vocal on race), and navigated COVID lockdowns and politics with perceived inconsistencies.

A controversy over the phrase "Christ is King" comes up regularly. Is "Christ is King" a biblical statement? Has it been coopted by figures like Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and Jake Shields? Can Muslims and Mormon's say "Christ is King" and it still be true? Which Christ is being promoted? How should Christians think of the phrase?

In this episode Jon Harris tackles the growing wave of distorted teachings online about the Bible, the church, and the nation of Israel.

Amid rising errors like dishonest portrayals of Jewish people, rejection of Gods promises to ethnic Israel, and even questions about Jesus Jewish identity, Harris offers clear biblical and historical guidance.

Drawing from the unconditional Abrahamic covenant in Genesis and echoed in Romans 9 through 11, he shows that God still has a sovereign plan for ethnic Israel including a coming ingathering and salvation. This hope held by church...

Article 2: The Culture We can Actually Build: https://jonharris.substack.com/p/the-culture-we-can-actually-build

Jon Harris argues that Christians and conservatives should prioritize local communities rooted in proximity, shared heritage, custom, and place to sustain civilization and authentic virtue. Humans are social creatures. Identity, trust, belonging, and moral formation arise from tangible local ties rather than distant ideologies or managerial systems.

Jon talks about the news of the week for Christian conservatives including David French's endorsement of James Talarico, Mark Driscoll's rising star, Hegseth's explanation of Iran, Franklin Graham's Crusade, Paul Washer's questions to John MacArthur, Reno's case for Christian Nationalism, Lifeway's Black Church Retreat, and more!

Luke Moon talks about Christian Zionism, U.S.–Israel relations, and the theological, political, and cultural assumptions that often shape Christian support for Israel. 

Progressive evangelicals have become increasingly significant in reframing the issue around social justice, Palestinian solidarity, and postcolonial critique.

Luke Moon distinguishes between reasonable theological and/or America First convictions and caricatures that appeal to examples like John Hagee, that frame pro-Israel Christians as merely partisan or apocalyptic, while also addressing conspiracies and anti-Jewish perceptions across the political spectrum. 

Moon calls for...

Jon Harris examines the roles of prophetic witness and political engagement drawing from Old Testament prophets who directly confronted rulers and called people to repentance. Harris distinguishes bold moral confrontation—upholding God's universal law—from pragmatic politics, which involves stewarding votes and seeking societal arrangements that protect Christian freedoms, families, and cultural inheritance.

He critiques Russell Moore as a negative example, arguing that Moore's writings in mainstream outlets like Christianity Today misuse Scripture to chide conservative evangelicals while aligning with leftist priorities on issues like open borders.

Harris contrasts this...

SBC churches have partnered with government-funded organizations such as World Relief, Arrive Ministries, and Lutheran Services for refugee resettlement.

Many of these groups receive substantial federal grants, offer legal services including citizenship applications and removal defense, distribute "know your rights" materials advising non-cooperation with ICE, and engage in political advocacy opposing enforcement measures. 

Numerous examples illustrate Southern Baptist churches nationwide supporting these efforts.

There is a current opportunity, amid recent immigration enforcement changes, for conservatives to attend the June SBC annual meeting, influence resolutions, a...

Today I'm sharing my article from December 26, 2025, "When Dinner Stops Being Ours: Cuisine, Immigration, and the Quiet Erosion of Belonging." I challenge the idea—pushed by folks like Piers Morgan—that mass immigration is worth it because it spices up "bland" Western food. While new flavors can be great, I argue through personal stories of smoking Southern barbecue in the Hudson Valley and connecting to my Mississippi roots that cuisine is far more than taste: it's a sensory anchor to identity, family, region, and nation. From Thanksgiving turkey to Fourth of July grills, shared foods build quiet solidarity. Yet fast...
