Ep 1215 | Baylor University’s New LGBTQ Program Betrays Baptist Roots
Today, we’re unpacking the progressive shift at Baylor University, a prominent Baptist institution in Waco, Texas, and its recent acceptance of an almost $700,000 grant from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation. We explore how this funding, aimed at fostering "LGBTQ inclusion" in churches, signals a broader leftward drift at Baylor, despite its historical ties to Baptist values. We’ll dive into the grant’s purpose and its implications for biblical fidelity, and the university’s embrace of progressive ideologies like standpoint epistemology and DEI initiatives. We’ll also examine Baylor’s ties to the Baptist General Convention of Texas, it...

Today, we delve into the tragic flash floods that struck Central Texas, particularly Kerrville, where the Guadalupe River surged, claiming at least 82 lives, including many campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ camp. We explore the devastating impact on families, the heroic sacrifices of rescuers, and the ongoing recovery efforts. We also address the politicization of the tragedy, debunking claims blaming budget cuts or climate change, and confront hateful social media narratives targeting the victims. Finally, we tackle the theological questions surrounding suffering and loss, offering a Christian perspective on finding hope and purpose amid such heartbreak.
...Ep 1213 | Infant Baptism vs. Believers' Baptism: What’s Biblical?
Today, we're diving into the theological debate surrounding infant baptism, exploring the perspectives of paedobaptism versus credobaptism. We examine the arguments for infant baptism, practiced by Catholics and some Protestants (such as Presbyterians), and the Catholic belief that it washes away original sin. We also unpack the credobaptist position, held by Baptists and many non-denominational churches, which emphasizes believers' baptism as an outward sign of inward faith, rooted in New Testament examples like Jesus' immersion baptism. We’ll look at key scriptures, historical church practices, and the reasoning behind both views and give our thoughts on what we believe to...
Ep 1212 | The Left Cares About (Certain) Unborn Babies Now
Today, we're looking at New York Times columnist David French's apparent shift on "transgender" issues, as he's seemed to change his tune on preferred pronouns and how this relates to Christianity. We explore how this change undermines his claims of principled conservatism and examine the case of Brian Riedl, a Manhattan Institute fellow now identifying as Jessica, whose claims of having a "female brain" lack scientific backing. We also tackle the debate over birthright citizenship, unpacking the Supreme Court's recent ruling on Trump's executive order, and how birth tourism and chain migration are reasons we should consider doing away...
Ep 1211 | Israel: What Should Christians Think? And an Announcement

Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Tucker Carlson on Israel and discuss why Christians aren’t necessarily obligated to support Israel militarily but should still find value in its alliance and pray for the salvation of those who live there.

Ep 1202 | Worst of TikTok: Disney Adults & Drag Queen Parks
Today, we're taking a break from some of the heavier stuff we've discussed recently and are reacting to some of the recent videos producer Bri has been saving up for such an occasion. Unfortunately, there are still fake babies, this time with Disney adults. And why is there a "trans" flag hanging on El Capitan in Yosemite?! But luckily, there are some happy things, too, like young kids sharing Jesus with Mickey Mouse and commanding bugs to leave the garden in the name of Jesus.

Ep 1201 | ‘Women Will Die': Debunking the Myths About Trump’s Hospital Policy
Today, we're discussing the Trump administration's reversal of a Biden-era policy regarding hospitals being required to perform emergency abortions. We get into the law itself and what changed, and more importantly, what didn't. Spoiler alert: Hospitals can still perform emergency care on pregnant women — they just can't intentionally kill babies. And to the surprise of nobody with eyes, Olympic gold medalist boxer Imane Khelif was proven to be male, according to a leaked medical report. Not only that but a high school girl in California was forced to share the podium with a "transgender" competitor. Lastly, we debut a ne...
Ep 1200 | Exposing the Innocence Project: Fake Evidence, Dark Funding & Protecting Monsters
Today, we're talking about the controversial Innocence Project and how it has been undermining true justice in the interest of social justice.

We also dive into other cases the Innocence Project has championed in its effort to abolish the death penalty altogether, regardless of the overwhelming evidence against the convicted individuals. The truly innocent victims deserve better than the Innocence Project defending those who hurt them. We cover the tactics the Innocence Pr...
Ep 1199 | Is Trump's Kennedy Center Firing Christians for Their Views on Homosexuality?
Today, we're discussing the tragic attack in Boulder, Colorado, over the weekend, when a pro-Palestine man allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at elderly Jewish protesters, including a Holocaust survivor. We get into the details of the attack, and while the FBI is calling this a terrorist attack, Boulder Police seem to be hesitant to ascribe a motive yet. And why is the media calling the suspect, an Egyptian national who is here illegally, a "white man"? We also talk about Adriana Smith, a Georgia woman being kept alive even after being declared brain-dead because she is pregnant with a baby b...
Ep 1198 | Rebutting Conservatives’ Strange Response to the Glenn Greenwald Scandal
Happy Noahic Covenant Month! Despite what the world says the rainbow represents, we know that it's a sign of God's promise to never flood the earth again, and for that, we're grateful. But wait, why do some conservative voices appear to be defending journalist Glenn Greenwald's degenerate sexual behavior in a recent leaked video? We go over the scandal and offer a more grounded, biblical response to the situation. And there is still some good news: A recent Gallup poll shows that Republican support for "same-sex marriage" is at a historic 30-year low! Even when it seems like the w...
Ep 1197 | How ‘CoComelon’ Hooks Your Kids & Fries Their Brains | Guest: Clare Morell
In today's episode, we sit down with Clare Morell, author and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, to discuss the overwhelming negative effects that screens are having on our children. Clare explains the difference between passive and active screens, and how while one is worse than the other, neither can really be called "good" for children. She even goes so far as to argue that the proper amount of screen time for children is none at all! And while we know “CoComelon” is frying babies' brains, is it actually worse than we thought?

Ep 1196 | Where the Jordan Peterson vs. Atheists 'Jubilee' Debate Went Wrong
Today, we're going over the recent "Jubilee" debate between Jordan Peterson and 20 atheists. We go over Peterson's arguments and offer some biblical answers to the atheists' arguments. We go over some of Peterson's great answers and give a grounded, Christian response to his not-so-great responses. But why would "Jubilee" initially title the video "1 Christian vs 20 Atheists," only to change it to "Jordan Peterson vs 20 Atheists" later? And was this really a good debate for Jordan Peterson?

We also discuss a recent undercover investigation by Live Action that showed Planned Parenthood's willingness to give "cross-sex hormones" to minors without parental consent.

Today, we're talking about a crunchy mom influencer, known as "Rose Uncharted" on Instagram, who recently deconstructed from Christianity and started sharing New Age ideas and beliefs. This is not to shame her but rather to draw attention to the false teachings and bad theologies that can influence even the most scrupulous people. We go over her past posts about motherhood and health and detail how she slowly spiraled into the unbiblical idea of a "Christ consciousness." Of course, this idea has been around for decades, but that doesn't stop people from claiming that it's a new idea. And...

The internet is already dangerous enough for young children to navigate; we don't need AI chatbots making it worse. And does Mark Zuckerberg want people to use these chatbots as a replacement for friends?

We also talk about how school closures did almost nothing to slow the spread of the virus...
Ep 1180 | Baby Bonuses & a Message from Big Matcha
Today, we discuss Trump's proposal to give a $5,000 "baby bonus" to new moms in order to reverse the depopulation crisis. But is this really the best way to address the low fertility rate, or is there a better option? And is the real problem actually the lack of families? Later, we have Phoenix, our Gen Z correspondent, back on to defend matcha lattes and discuss the recent Brian Stelter sighting, where he was barefoot on a train.
