28/02/2024 Duration: 01h18minToday we're joined by health coach Emily Detrick, @littleraeofhealth on Instagram, to talk about hormone health, nutrition, and the truth about birth control. Emily shares her story of figuring out that birth control was affecting her body negatively and how she began to heal. We talk about blood sugar and cravings and explain how to combat the "need" for sugar. We also discuss cortisol, the stress hormone, and how it affects us alongside other hormones. Emily explains the importance of protein throughout the day in balancing hormones. Then, what's the truth about birth control? We explain the harms of hormonal birth control and why women are lied to from a young age about this.

Ep 958 | Laken Riley’s Preventable Murder
27/02/2024 Duration: 01h11minToday we discuss the atrocious murder of Laken Riley allegedly by an illegal immigrant and how liberal immigration policies in Athens, Georgia, contributed to her death. We point out how Laken Riley’s death could have been prevented if immigration laws were enforced. We also discuss why “diversity for diversity’s sake” never works and the need for a national identity of shared Christian values under Jesus Christ. For some reason, though, this belief in a Christian American national identity could now be considered bigoted and maybe even “Christian nationalist” … at least according to MSNBC. Plus, we give our take on Shane Gillis’ controversial "Saturday Night Live" appearance. --- Timecodes: (00:44) Encouragement & announcements (06:40) Laken Riley (20:48) How did this happen?

Ep 957 | How the Gospel Heals Anger, Addiction & Adultery | Guest: Jeff Allen
26/02/2024 Duration: 55minToday we're joined by Jeff Allen, a born-again Christian comedian and author of “Are We There Yet?” He explains how he went from a life of anger, marital difficulties, and alcoholism, to redemption through the Gospel and surrender to Jesus Christ. Jeff spares no details of the darkest moments of his life, moments that eventually led him to the Lord. As he puts it, “God breaks you for a reason.” He also gives his opinion on some of life’s most difficult questions: What is the key to finding freedom from vices like anger and addiction? Can even the worst marriages be saved? And is anyone beyond redemption?

Ep 956 | The Truth About the Oklahoma 'Trans' Teen
22/02/2024 Duration: 01h05minToday we're talking about the heartbreaking story of an Oklahoma teen girl, Dagny Benedict, who died earlier this month after she and another student were beaten by three older girls in their school's bathroom. The problem with the story? It has now come out that Dagny did not, in fact, die due to bullying over her "non-binary" identity, as media outlets were quick to report. We break down the reports from news outlets and how they have controlled the narrative and strangely blamed Libs of TikTok for her death. Also, we take a look at Google's AI tool Gemini and its refusal to depict white people in its AI-generated images. --- Timecodes: (01:06) Dagny Benedict (11:30) Media responds to story (19:00) Libs of TikTok (30:16) Responses to the story (42:40) Google AI is racist --- Today's Sponsors: NetSuite — gain visibility and control of your financials, planning, budgeting, and inventory so you can manage risk, get reliable forecasts, and improve margins.

Ep 955 | The End of IVF in Alabama?
21/02/2024 Duration: 01h37sToday we're starting off with the news of last week's Alabama Supreme Court ruling stating that frozen embryos outside the womb are indeed children. We cover what led to this decision and why it makes complete sense when looking at what frozen embryos actually are. We look at some of the backlash from those arguing that this ruling is the "end of IVF" and why we as pro-lifers need to adjust our thinking when it comes to surrogacy and IVF. Then, Fani Willis is the first female district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia, who came to fame when she launched an investigation against former President Donald Trump for attempting to overturn the election result in the state. Now, the case is in jeopardy because it was revealed that she had an affair with the lead prosecutor she hired for the case. We look at her embarrassing testimony as well the multiple churches that seem to be praising her to the point of sacrilege. --- Timecodes: (00:48) Merch & upcoming debate news (03:05) Alabama Supreme Court frozen embry

Ep 954 | ‘Disease X’ & the End of American Sovereignty
20/02/2024 Duration: 58minToday we're talking about the mysterious "Disease X," a hypothetical future pandemic that is projected by "experts" to be 20 times worse than COVID. We explain how the concept of Disease X was born and what the World Health Organization and its director general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, have to do with it. We look at the many warnings from these "experts" claiming that Disease X is a matter of "when, not if" and that the proposed treaty they are attempting to get passed is definitely, absolutely not a ploy for power and control. We take a look at the WHO's history of terrible "guidance" during COVID and explain why we should be skeptical of any organization and treaty calling to prioritize "equity." We explain China's role in this and why it matters whom we elect when it comes to potential disasters like this. --- Timecodes: (00:50) Introduction & thoughts on filters (10:05) Disease X origins (13:25) Tedros Ghebreyesus & warnings (22:00) The truth about the WHO (30:35) Pandemic treaty issues (39:36) China's rol

Ep 953 | Andrew Tate Is Wrong About Marriage | Guest: Dr. Brad Wilcox
19/02/2024 Duration: 43minToday we’re joined by Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, to discuss the importance of marriage, the growing trend of polyamory in our culture, and his new book, "Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." We start off with an explanation of why so many are misguided about what marriage actually offers people and why the lie that Christian marriages are doomed to fail is perpetuated so often from both the Left and the Right. We look at the rise in media coverage and normalization of polyamory and discuss what this means for how people see relationships and sex, as well as its disastrous effects on children. Is married life really making us sad, and what do we lose when we, as a society, fear marriage?

Ep 952 | “Virginity is a Myth:” The Latest in Sex Ed
15/02/2024 Duration: 01h04minToday we're starting off with some encouragement against living in fear and paranoia after yesterday's news of a mysterious "national security threat." We also look at Planned Parenthood's atrocious curriculum for kids that teaches that "virginity isn't real." We explain the logical conclusion of teaching kids about incorrect and explicit sexual philosophies and why this is a tactic the Left uses. We look at Idaho's recent passing of a bill that would allow the death penalty for child sex abuse crimes. We explain why this is a move in the right direction in protecting children. Then we discuss an Ohio megachurch's bizarre Super Bowl-themed church service, where a female pastor punted a Bible into the congregation. We explain why this was such a wasted opportunity for those seeking truth.

Ep 951 | What Does the Bible Say About Our Diet? | Guest: Chelsea Blackbird
14/02/2024 Duration: 01h02minToday we're joined by Chelsea Blackbird, the "Christian Nutritionist," to discuss her story of healing her infertility through a holistic approach. She explains that our bodies are not against us but rather telling us what we need to balance better. How should we think of health and wellness and nutrition from a Christian perspective? What is the purpose of the body, and how should we view food? Should we really be eating bread and red meat when there is so much commentary on what is bad for us? How much protein and fat should we be eating? We cover all this and much more on this Wellness Wednesday!

Ep 950 | Candace Cameron Bure on Body Image, Motherhood & Battling Backlash
13/02/2024 Duration: 01h22minToday we’re joined by multitalented actress and producer Candace Cameron Bure to share about her journey from breaking out in Hollywood to giving her life to Christ. Candace shares the details of landing the role of D.J. Tanner on "Full House" and how the show became beloved by audiences. She shares her faith journey, from first deciding to believe in God to years later really committing her life to a personal relationship with Jesus. Candace shares the sweet story of how she met her husband and offers some tips on motherhood, as well as how she navigates unrealistic beauty standards in an industry that makes body image central. We also discuss the backlash that she’s received from speaking about her beliefs and why she believes that being an authentic believer in Christ is more important than the negative feedback.

Ep 949 | What ‘He Gets Us’ Gets Wrong
12/02/2024 Duration: 55minToday we're recapping last night's Super Bowl and breaking down the "He Gets Us" campaign, which paid for two ad spots in last night's game. We explain the two "He Gets Us" ads and how they don't actually share the gospel but instead affirm that Christianity is actually about us to people who already dislike Christianity. We talk about what this ad campaign misses about Jesus and how essential the full truth of the gospel is when you have the money, time, and ability to convey the gospel message in 45 seconds during the Super Bowl. We explain why you shouldn't be discouraged by this and how we can be praying for people to hear the real, unapologetic gospel. Then, we discuss the shooting that occurred at Joel Osteen's church yesterday afternoon and the strange pattern that this event follows.

Ep 948 | The Finnish Parliamentarian Prosecuted for Posting Romans 1 | Guests: Päivi Räsänen & Kristen Waggoner
08/02/2024 Duration: 48minToday we're joined by Päivi Räsänen, a member of Finnish Parliament, who is currently on trial in Finland for posting a Bible verse on X after a local church chose to support a "pride" event. Päivi was originally prosecuted for the crime of “agitation against a minority group”, under the section of “war crimes and crimes against humanity” in the Finnish criminal code, and was acquitted twice. Yet the prosecution continues to appeal the not guilty verdict, and Päivi finds herself yet again back in court. The prosecution claims that Päivi's real crime wasn't posting the Bible verse, but claiming that the Bible condemns homosexuality in that post. We're also joined by Kristen Waggoner, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom, to discuss the legal specifics of this case and the greater implications of punishing free speech. Päivi shares encouragement for standing up for truth, and her perspective as her case continues. You can learn more about ADF here: https://adfinternational.org/ Go to alliemerch.com to get our ne

Ep 947 | Bethany Hamilton Fights the Trans Tidal Wave | Guest: Ron Simmons
07/02/2024 Duration: 53minToday we're talking about Rip Curl, an Australian brand that specializes in swimwear for surfers, dropping Bethany Hamilton as their brand ambassador and instead hiring a trans-identifying man. Recently Bethany has spoken out against men in women's sports, and many speculate that this contributed to Rip Curl dropping her. We take a look at their new ambassador, "Sasha Lowerson," and explain why it's such a travesty to see once attractive, successful men turn into examples of perversion. Then we're joined again by Allie's dad Ron Simmons for a breakdown of what's going on in the recent border bill and what the landscape for the upcoming election looks like. We cover the many criticisms that Republicans have presented when it comes to this border bill and give our theories on whether it will even push forward. We also discuss the inclusion of funding Ukraine and Israel in this bill, and the avoidance of calling the Mexican cartels terrorist organizations. We ask the ultimate question: Is the border crisis ever

Ep 946 | No, Abortion Bans Aren’t Causing Rapes
06/02/2024 Duration: 52minToday we're giving an update on the Kolstad family, who lost custody of their teenage daughter after they refused to aid in her gender "transition." Now, they're facing arrest for speaking out. We also give an update on last week's Alistair Begg episode and explain further why it's important not to ignore missteps in Christian wisdom. Then, Jill Biden has invited Kate Cox, the mother from Texas who crossed state lines to abort her baby after Texas barred her from aborting, to the State of the Union. We recap Kate Cox's story and explain why she should not be setting an example for other women when it comes to abortion. We also look at the recent "study" claiming that rape numbers have increased in post-Roe America. We explain how this "research" is funded by a Planned Parenthood director and has absolutely no logic behind it. We conclude with your favorite: a Grammys fashion review!

Ep 945 | Churches: Beware of the 'After Party' Trojan Horse | Guest: Megan Basham
05/02/2024 Duration: 59minToday we're joined by Megan Basham, culture reporter for the Daily Wire, to discuss her investigation into the After Party, a curriculum written by Curtis Chang, David French, and Russell Moore, which is being pushed onto churches in an effort to bring Christians of different political backgrounds together. Megan shares how this curriculum not only fails at its objective but is funded by secular progressives: Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. We discuss why Rockefeller’s interest in bankrolling Bible studies is a red flag, including the fact that among the other initiatives funded are organizations that are pro-LGBTQ and pro-abortion. What's in the After Party curriculum and what message is it really sending? We also look at the "AND Campaign" and how it is also funded by the Rockefellers. We explain how politics is a way to love our neighbor and why getting it right matters for the church. You can pre-order Megan's new book, "Evangelicals for Rent: Why Church Leaders Traded the Truth for a Leftist Agenda"

Ep 944 | 'Non-Affirming' Parents vs. the State of Montana | Guest: Todd & Krista Kolstad
01/02/2024 Duration: 01h06minToday we're joined by Todd and Krista Kolstad, Montana parents who find themselves entangled in an ongoing months-long custody battle for their 14-year-old daughter. The couple candidly open up about the challenges they faced and the heartbreak they endured after losing custody of their daughter. Montana's Child and Family Services gained custody of their daughter when they refused to affirm her newfound "gender identity" as a boy. We delve into the origin of the dispute, starting as a seemingly minor disagreement and escalating into a legal battle that no parent could anticipate. The Kolstads courageously navigate through the difficult terrain of their daughter's claims of wanting to harm herself, shedding light on the emotional toll this took on their family. Then, we give our take on the corruption within government organizations created to "protect" children and how we can fight back against cases where their actions are not for the good of children.

Ep 943 | Alistair Begg Doubles Down on Gay Wedding Advice
31/01/2024 Duration: 48minToday we're discussing the controversy surrounding Pastor Alistair Begg and his recent statements on gay weddings. In a recent podcast, Pastor Begg responded to a question about attending a "transgender" person's wedding, saying that he does recommend going. Naturally, many were upset by this advice, but Pastor Begg doubled down in a sermon, comparing this situation to the story of the prodigal son. We explain why this parallel misses the mark and answer the questions: What is the actual Christian approach to the issue of gay weddings, and how should we respond to teachers who get it wrong?

Ep 942 | Is Taylor Swift a Psyop?
30/01/2024 Duration: 57minIn today's episode, we delve into the conspiracy theory suggesting that Taylor Swift is more than just a global pop sensation — some believe she's a full-blown psyop. We navigate through the ongoing battle between the Swifties and the anti-Swifties currently making headlines. Is Taylor Swift simply a vessel for powerful messages, a conduit for ideas that transcend the music industry? We question the notion of Swift's potential involvement with the government, scrutinize the evidence, and leave you to form your own opinion. We also examine the history of Swift’s political stances and discuss how she may come across as somewhat immature when expressing her political opinions. Does Taylor’s endorsement of Joe Biden in 2020 indicate that she will resume speaking up about politics this year? Does Taylor Swift offer any valuable commentary on current events that's worth listening to? Join us as we explore the multifaceted world of Taylor Swift's influence.

Ep 941 | Conceived in Rape, Chosen by God | Guest: Steventhen Holland
29/01/2024 Duration: 48minToday we're joined by pro-life advocate and worship leader Steventhen Holland to hear his story of finding his birth mother, a mentally challenged woman who was raped as a girl and chose life for him despite all the odds. Steventhen shares his testimony of finding Christ and becoming a worship leader and how the tragedy of miscarriage led to the realization that God wanted him to find his birth mother. We discuss their initial meeting and how he responded to learning what had happened to her and how she still chose life for him. We also respond to those who argue for abortion exceptions and how this is a slap in the face to people like Steventhen and his mother, who courageously said no to the pressures to abort him.

Ep 940 | WEF vs. the West: The Latest in Davos’ Global Takeover | Guest: Justin Haskins
25/01/2024 Duration: 01h07minToday we're joined by our friend Justin Haskins, author and director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, to discuss what the world's elites got up to at Davos 2024 and just how concerned we need to be about it. First we look at the World Economic Forum's definition of "misinformation," which was the theme of the meeting. We look at why the WEF invited a select few from the Right, such as Argentinian President Javier Milei and Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation, when they knew these people would directly challenge the Davos initiative. The answer is rather nefarious. We explain what the World Economic Forum's strategy is to combat so-called "misinformation" and why we should be paying attention to state-level government. We touch on what Texas Governor Greg Abbott is doing at the Texas border and what the future might hold when it comes to states' rights. We also discuss the dangers of the World Economic Forum's view of artificial intelligence and why we must agree on the foundat
