Jon Harris examines Russell Brand’s new book “How to Become a Christian in Seven Days,” published by Tucker Carlson Books. While acknowledging some positive elements, Jon warns that the book mixes truth with serious theological errors, New Age influences, and a dangerous conflation of political “red-pilling” with genuine spiritual regeneration.

Jon discusses the difference between a true biblical Great Awakening and the current wave of celebrity spirituality, the proper understanding of sin, repentance, faith, and the gospel, and why political awakening is not the same as spiritual revival.

Sam Allberry's views on Same Sex Attraction have been controversial for years. Within the evangelical movement, Allberry proports to value singles and same-sex attracted people while still holding a high position of marriage and family. This is attractive to many who want orthodox doctrine without what they see as a stereotypical judgmental attitude. Unfortunately, Sam Allberry's theology was more than inadequate. It lead people to make peace with a sinful orientation and receive consequences for those sins as if the consequences were signs of sacrificial godliness. There is a better way for those who struggle with same-sex attraction, homosexual...

Jon Harris examines the state of the American church in 2026 — a time of spiritual interest among Gen Z, rising Bible sales, and public figures talking about Christianity, yet mixed with confusion, pastoral failures, and the risk of counterfeit revival. Drawing from statistics, personal reflections, and Scripture, Jon calls Christians to stand faithfully with the true church, prioritize the gospel, and focus on making disciples rather than platforms or politics. A sober yet hopeful message for believers navigating this cultural moment.

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.
