Ep 859 | Why You Can't Be a Gay Christian | Guest: Dr. Christopher Yuan
21/08/2023 Duration: 01h18minToday we're joined by author, pastor, and Bible professor Dr. Christopher Yuan to discuss his incredible testimony and new video curriculum "The Holy Sexuality Project." We start off with his story of transformation from an agnostic gay man to a redeemed Bible professor. Not only did God turn his unbelief into belief right from a prison, but God also freed him from the bondage of drugs and promiscuity. Can you be a Christian and practice homosexuality at the same time? We answer this question and dive into why the biblical model for marriage is so important. Then, Dr. Yuan breaks down "The Holy Sexuality Project" and why it’s so important to talk with our kids about biblical sexuality in appropriate ways. --- Timecodes: (02:05) Dr. Yuan's story (16:37) Turning to drugs (22:28) Reaction to parents becoming Christian (33:32) Coming to Christ (43:49) Can you be a Christian and practice homosexuality?

Ep 858 | The Disturbing Origins of Adderall | Guest: Dr. Roger McFillin (Part Two)
17/08/2023 Duration: 36minToday we're joined by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and co-host of the "Radically Genuine" podcast, for part two of our discussion on the truth behind ADHD diagnoses and Big Pharma's role in it all. We continue our breakdown of Adderall and other ADHD medications and what the long-term consequences of these drugs might be. We also explain the unexpected origins of ADHD drugs, how they're marketed, and why the pharmaceutical industry has a vested interest in people taking them whether or not they're needed. What other factors contribute to "ADHD symptoms," and how can parents help their kids who may genuinely be struggling with focus and concentration? --- Timecodes: (01:04) Adderall (09:14) Origin of ADHD meds (12:17) Other factors contributing to ADHD symptoms (20:11) Marketing of ADHD medications (27:44) Advice for parents of struggling kids --- Today's Sponsors: EdenPURE — when you buy one Thunderstorm you get one FREE, this week only!

Ep 857 | Is ADHD Real? | Guest: Dr. Roger McFillin (Part One)
16/08/2023 Duration: 38minToday we're joined by Dr. Roger McFillin, clinical psychologist and co-host of the "Radically Genuine" podcast, to discuss the truth behind ADHD diagnoses and Big Pharma's role in it all. We start out with a clarification on what clinical psychology is and is not and recap our previous conversation on depression and depression medications. We talk about the ADHD phenomenon happening in America, and Dr. McFillin claims that while some indeed may struggle with focus and concentration, ADHD is actually just a socially constructed disorder. We talk about how ADHD is significantly over-diagnosed and how the majority of parents never thought their child's behavior was problematic until they heard it from a teacher. But do teachers have a right to help diagnose our kids, and what exactly are the consequences of liberally diagnosing ADHD? One may be that ADHD medications like Adderall tend to be a gateway to reliance on further mental health drugs. Stay tuned for part two tomorrow! --- Timecodes: (01:17) Clarifica

Ep 856 | Can Christians Burn Sage & Collect Crystals? | Q&A
15/08/2023 Duration: 39minToday we're hitting some of your big questions: How do single people find stability? What should Christians think about sage and crystals? Why do people sincerely feel kids should be able to choose their gender? We also share thoughts on the future of higher education and give some advice for conservative Christians working in public education. And, of course, we cover the hard-hitting question: what's your go-to coffee order? --- Timecodes: (01:13) Chipotle, Qdoba or Moe's? (03:33) How often do you wash your hair?

Ep 855 | Responding to 'The Sparkle Creed' & Other Blasphemy | Guest: Fr Calvin Robinson
14/08/2023 Duration: 45minToday we're joined by one of our favorite guests, Fr. Calvin Robinson, to discuss some recent viral cases of blasphemy in the church. First we look at a clip of a female Lutheran pastor reciting what she calls the “sparkle creed,” which claims that God is non-binary and has “two dads.” We explain how this isn’t love, and it all comes down to personal arrogance in trying to shape scripture around us rather than the reverse. We also look at a German pastor who claims that “God is queer” and a “climate choir” singing in a church in the U.K., which just proves that the climate cult is its own religious idol. Why do progressive Christians cheer the ever-growing trans agenda on, and what’s going on with the abortion debate in the U.K.? Then we end with a little bit of encouragement. --- Timecodes: (01:14) "Sparkle creed" (14:01) German pastor says "God is queer" (16:10) Climate cult (23:46) Trans archdeacon (29:23) Responsibility of pastors (32:20) Parental custody over "trans" beliefs (37:45) Abortion debate in

Ep 854 | Another Christian Artist Deconstructs… And Goes Drag
10/08/2023 Duration: 01h05minToday we're talking about the former lead singer of '90s Christian band Caedmon's Call, who deconstructed and has now put out a song praising drag queens, most notably his friend “Flamy Grant.” We discuss the startling trend of Christian musicians choosing to deconstruct, usually after some acceptance or adoption of the LGBTQ lifestyle. We cover why these are linked and some other reasons that might be behind Christian artists abandoning God. Then, the Library of Congress apologized for “misgendering” an author, adding to the list of very important things governmental institutions are focusing on. We also discuss Ohio’s Issue 1 vote, which struck down a measure that would make it harder to enshrine abortion rights into Ohio law, and the troubling story coming out of Utah of a 75-year-old man who was deemed a “credible threat to the president” and killed by the FBI. Is there something even more nefarious and ideological going on behind the scenes? --- Timecodes: (00:00) Intro (04:25) Derek Webb & Flamy Gran

Ep 853 | Ne-Yo Speaks Up Against Transing Kids
09/08/2023 Duration: 43minToday we're talking about R&B artist Ne-Yo, who went viral Sunday after slamming parents who allow their kids to make “life-changing decisions” through gender “transitions.” Soon after, an apology was posted to his Instagram account, but he quickly posted a video doubling down on his belief that it doesn't make any sense to "transition" kids and claiming that he won't be bullied into apologizing for his opinion. While the Left is slamming him for "transphobia," we commend him for sticking up for what's right despite the publicity risk. Then we're talking about Marcus Schroeder, a 19-year-old man who was arrested for reading the Bible out loud on the sidewalk next to a "family-friendly" drag event. After he was released with a warning, he gave a compelling speech full of biblical truth in front of the city council meeting regarding the event. We also discuss Texas Governor Greg Abbott signing into law a bill that bans men from competing in women's sports, a huge win for women. --- Timecodes: (00:52) New mer

Ep 852 | Vivek Ramaswamy: Can a Non-Christian Champion Christian Values?
08/08/2023 Duration: 01h38sToday we're talking about a new survey that shows high school-age boys trending conservative and girls trending liberal. What led to this drastic split, and do our gender differences have anything to do with it? We think so. Also, a TikToker went viral for sharing her horrible experience getting harassed in San Francisco, but also touts explicitly leftist views and likely helped vote in the government that allows such behavior. We explain this disconnect and why it doesn't have to be this way. Then we're joined by presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to discuss his campaign policies and how his faith background shapes his values and worldview. We discuss his views on abortion and gender ideology and touch on what might make him different from other candidates. --- Timecodes: (00:00) New merch item & intro (04:40) Political ideologies of high school boys/girls (13:30) Why is Gen Z moving left?

Ep 851 | 'Church at the Movies:' Helpful or Heretical?
07/08/2023 Duration: 57minToday we're talking about the growing trend of movie-themed church sermons and series. We discuss Saddleback Church's recent "At the Movies" sermon series, which featured sermons on "Toy Story" and "Top Gun" and how those stories reflect some spiritual truths about us. We explain how the problem isn't stories or films themselves, many of which can indeed reflect biblical truths, but the focus on ourselves. Saddleback claims that "movies are a reflection of us – each story shows us a glimpse of the human experience." But church isn't about us, nor should it be. We explain the seemingly incessant need some churches feel to be seeker-friendly at all costs – sometimes even at the cost of biblical literacy. We also discuss a recent controversial Jamie Foxx Instagram post and the mob of teens who overtook Union Square in New York City last week. --- Timecodes: (01:03) Intro (07:34) Church at the Movies (43:50) Jamie Foxx's Instagram post (52:04) New York City riots --- Today's Sponsors: Carly Jean Los Angele

Ep 850 | Dennis Quaid on Faith, Addiction & 'The Parent Trap'
03/08/2023 Duration: 47minToday we're joined by the one and only Dennis Quaid to talk about his faith journey, his expansive acting career, and his new gospel album, "Fallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners." He shares his struggle with addiction and how his faith pulled him out of a dead end, as well as how his Baptist upbringing helped shape his faith and music today. We discuss the darkness of Hollywood, the decision to choose more "faith-based" projects, and, of course, how influential "The Parent Trap" was on us Millennial women. Then we look at few stories in the news: a Reddit post asks ChatGPT to write Bible passages affirming transgenderism, and MrBeast's Chris Tyson is back in the news with a "new" voice. We explain the biblical reality that the body matters and give some biblical examples of God affirming the gender binary. You can get Dennis' new album, "Fallen: A Gospel Record For Sinners," everywhere you stream and buy music. --- Timecodes: (00:50) Intro (02:36) Meeting Dennis Quaid & Peaches the dog (04:00) Dennis' fait

Ep 849 | Responding to Candace Owens & Andrew Tate | Guest: Jonathan Isaac
02/08/2023 Duration: 36minToday we're starting off with a response to Candace Owens' interview with Andrew Tate, in which she asks Tate about conservatives who have criticized him (and name-drops us!). We explain how, despite the assumption that we don't understand the appeal of Tate, we do think he says certain things that are correct and absolutely understand why young men might gravitate toward him. We take a look at Tate's answer to Candace asking about criticism and overall response to his content. Then, NBA player Jonathan Isaac joins us to discuss his new clothing brand UNITUS. We look into our culture and see more and more companies move away from family and American values. While they're free to do that, we're also free to create alternatives. We talk the parallel economy and how people are looking for brands that don't hate them. We also talk about becoming a father, leaning into courageously standing up for his values, and navigating career and life difficulties. Shop UNITUS here: https://weareunitus.com/ --- Timecodes:

Ep 848 | Saving His Son from a 'Non-Binary' Future | Guest: Harrison Tinsley
01/08/2023 Duration: 42minToday we're joined by Harrison Tinsley, who is fighting for custody of his young son Sawyer, whose mother is raising him as "non-binary." Harrison shares his story of being denied the chance to meet Sawyer until he was over a year old, as well as his contentious custody battle for him. Currently, Harrison has half custody and spends every second of his custody time with Sawyer, choosing not to work those days. He shares about his ideological differences with his son's mother, which he never imagined would become such a big issue. Now Sawyer's mother is raising him "non-binary" and posting on social media about his supposed "gender identity," when in reality, Sawyer has expressed that he is, in fact, a boy. This, along with the mother's concerning multiple mental health problems and a previous safety incident, led Harrison to file for full custody, which he was denied. Harrison claims his son knows he's a boy and wants to be a boy, and Harrison is fighting to keep him safe and happy with who he is. Help suppo

Ep 847 | Are Aliens Just Demons?
31/07/2023 Duration: 01h10minToday we're talking about last week's House Oversight subcommittee hearing on UFOs and the revelations that came from some witnesses, one of which was that "non-human remains" have been recovered. The witness, a former U.S. intelligence official, claimed he could not elaborate further, but also mentioned that he's "absolutely certain" the U.S. government is in possession of UFOs. We look at some reactions to the hearing, which mostly boil down to ... people not caring very much. We go over our theories on alien life and discuss whether the concept is compatible with the biblical truths we know. Then we take another look at Florida's new slavery curriculum, which many prominent Republicans have slammed for one particular line. We explain why these politicians are so incensed and why they're ultimately lying about what the curriculum actually says. We're also giving a full personal update on the pregnancy you won't want to miss! --- Timecodes: (00:59) Personal update (17:55) UFOs & aliens (32:00) Does the Bi

Ep 846 | Hillsong, Steven Furtick & the Dangers of 'Designer' Pastors | Guest: Ben Kirby (PreachersNSneakers)
27/07/2023 Duration: 59minToday we're joined by Ben Kirby, founder of Instagram account @PreachersNSneakers and author of "PreachersNSneakers: Authenticity in an Age of For-Profit Faith and (Wannabe) Celebrities," to discuss the state of the church when it comes to wealth and prosperity and how we elevate pastors to the role of celebrity. The PreachersNSneakers account posts photos of celebrity pastors, such as Steven Furtick and Mike Todd, wearing extremely expensive clothes and sneakers and leaves the questions up to us: Should we be glorifying this type of wealth when it comes to the role of pastor, and does this help or hurt prospective believers interested in the church? We discuss the relationships that have formed from this account, with some pastors engaging in good-hearted discussions with Ben about their clothing choices and others responding with more vitriol. We also discuss the two recent Hillsong documentaries that highlight the rise and fall of celebrity pastor Carl Lentz. Then we explain the seriousness of the pastoral

Ep 845 | Tori Kelly & Other Young Stars Suddenly Collapse: What's Going On?
26/07/2023 Duration: 52minToday we're starting off with news of former New Hampshire state Representative "Stacie" Laughton, a male identifying as a female, who was arrested for alleged distribution of pornographic material depicting children. We go through his vast criminal history, despite being elected to office twice, and how he attempted to get photos of children from his romantic partner. Unfortunately this isn't a unique story – there are countless other examples of men who identify as women acting abusively toward both children and actual women. Then, the FIFA Women's World Cup has begun, and many are praising the inclusion of its first "trans" player. But why does this player choose to remain in the women's league despite not identifying as a woman, and what's behind this desire to be "other"? We also look at the tragic case of Bronny James, LeBron James' son, who collapsed during his college basketball practice and was diagnosed with cardiac arrest. Grammy-winning singer Tori Kelly also collapsed recently and was diagnosed w

Ep 844 | Is the Pro-Life Movement Fake? | Guest: Bradley Pierce
25/07/2023 Duration: 58minToday we're joined by Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion and VP of Heritage Defense, to discuss the abortion abolitionist movement and what it broadly believes. First we explain what some of the differences might be between abolitionists and pro-lifers, one of which is that abolitionists largely believe in criminal charges for a woman who gets an abortion. We discuss what justice for abortions might look like and how to balance impartiality and compassion for those misled by the media and the abortion industry. While it may seem like abortion abolitionists and pro-lifers are on the same side, much abolition legislation has been struck down by the pro-life camp – why is this, and what other criticisms of the pro-life movement exist from the other side? Abolitionists also don't believe in abortion restrictions, such as heartbeat bills, unless they are full bans (and in some cases have other qualifications). We discuss this rejection of incrementalism and ask what the proposals are t

Ep 843 | Is 'Barbie' Secretly Conservative?
24/07/2023 Duration: 01h07minToday we're starting off with the backlash against country singer Jason Aldean's new song, "Try That in a Small Town," which describes how small towns wouldn’t put up with the kinds of riots and lawlessness that many big cities experienced during the summer of 2020. CMT removed the music video from the channel, and multiple fellow country artists have spoken out against his "call for violence." The problem? He actually does the opposite, calling for an end to the violence we saw in 2020. Then, Producer Bri joins to discuss "Barbie" and the many hot takes from both conservatives and liberals. Some are claiming it's feminist propaganda, while others think it's a little more nuanced. We share what we think. Then, Vice President Kamala Harris condemned Florida's new teaching curriculum on slavery, but many have pointed out that she's been lying about it. We take a look at the curriculum and explain why leftists are so exhausting when it comes to topics like this. --- Timecodes: (00:54) Intro (04:33) Jason Ald

Ep 842 | The Elites’ Plan to Replace God With AI | Guest: Justin Haskins (Part Two)
20/07/2023 Duration: 50minToday we're joined by our friend Justin Haskins, author and director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, for part two of our conversation on what the world's elites are up to and just how concerned we need to be about it. Last week we discussed the story of a man's Amazon smart home devices shutting down after a delivery driver thought he heard a device say something racist. This serves as a good example of what we're up against in the rise of AI, but what's behind the push toward actually making us want AI to control our lives? We discuss how AI ties into the Great Reset agenda and possible horrifying uses of AI that have been proposed, such as allowing it to control criminal court cases and nuclear weapons decisions. Then we look at Kamala Harris' recent "slip-up," when she mentions the need to reduce the population. We explain how this goal of the Great Reset ties into the plans for AI. We also mention the WEF's ties to China despite it being one of the worst human rights violators

Ep 841 | Great Reset Update: The Next Phase Is Here | Guest: Justin Haskins (Part One)
19/07/2023 Duration: 49minToday we're joined by our friend Justin Haskins, author and director of the Socialism Research Center at the Heartland Institute, to get an update on what the world's elites are up to and just how concerned we need to be about it. First we give a recap on what the Great Reset is and how it's already affected the institutions we depend upon. But this plan didn't just start a few years ago, and it's a lot more long-term than people think. We cover ESG and how it has encouraged corporations to answer to progressivism rather than their own customers (Bud Light is one example). What motivates these elites to push progressivism, and why have they chosen this strategy? Then we touch on why establishment Republicans aren't doing much to counter ESG and discuss which presidential candidates are most likely to confront it head-on. You can get Glenn and Justin's new book, "Dark Future: Uncovering the Great Reset's Terrifying Next Phase," here: https://bit.ly/3Dh7tnz --- Timecodes: (02:02) Dark Future: Uncovering the

Ep 840 | A Biblical Response to Andrew Tate
18/07/2023 Duration: 01h17minToday we're doing a deep dive into the life, beliefs, and "teachings" of controversial figure Andrew Tate, who has risen to prominence in recent years through viral clips in which he gives advice to young men, supposedly teaching them how to be strong, masculine men. We cover his history, some good and bad things he's said in the past, and the allegations of criminal activity that have landed him in hot water with the government of the country he lives in, Romania. While many statements Tate has made in his viral videos are true and appealing to those of us on the Right, it seems that too many conservatives are missing a key detail: that Tate himself does not live up to the values and ideals he publicly espouses, especially when it comes to what he thinks of women and how he treats them. It's easy to see why the Left hates Andrew Tate since much of what he says ostensibly lines up with conservative values. We reveal the shady and immoral behavior he's admitted to engaging in when it comes to women and discuss
