Episode 461: Alistair Begg has come under fire in recent days because of comments he made wherein he advised a grandmother to attend her grandchild’s wedding to a transgender person. Naturally, this rankled the feathers of not a few Christians (which is good). In this episode, I give my take on Begg’s comments and review some of his remarks in response to his critics.

Irreversible Damage Report
Episode 443: Abigail Shrier wrote the book Irreversible Damage in 2020. In it she documents her research into the transgender/gender dysphoria phenomenon. In this episode of the podcast, I explore aspects of Shrier’s book as it pertains the present cultural moment, including perhaps the most disturbing point in the book tucked away in footnotes (p.246): the correlation between gender dysphoria and autism. Plus, a quick connection to Romans 1.24, 26, 28.
Nashville School Shooting
Episode 433: A 28 year-old woman opened fire at a school in Nashville earlier this week. In this episode, I unpack the awful truth behind the shooting, a whole spiritual reality involved in this tragic event which left six dead. Worldviews have consequences, and we witnessed the consequences of the worldview of the seed of the serpent.
Brueggemann & Beth Moore
Episode 415: Everybody’s favorite progressive theologian has written an article (see below) detailing how to read the Bible so that those practicing homosexual behavior are to be welcomed as faithful Christians. This reminded me of Beth Moore “conversion” a few years back (also see below). In this episode, I explore Brueggemann’s new hermeneutic and demonstrate how it is suspect at best. Also with comparisons to Beth Moore!
What Jesus Said & Demonic Origins
Episode 413: I take the recent statement, or lack thereof, of a California state congressman to task. His contention is that Jesus never said anything about homosexuality; I thoroughly refute his erroneous assertion. Then, we expose how the mask has come off and demonstrate from the comments of a confused young man that those who espouse woke ideology have bought into a demonic doctrine.

“It’s a Miracle!” – Jesus Heals Ten Lepers
Episode 391: It is amazing what we take for granted. In Luke 17.11-19, I believe we come across men who took for granted that Jesus could heal them. That assumption led them to just go about their lives without thanking God. Except for one “foreigner.” What can we learn from the miracle where Jesus heals ten lepers? Tune in as I explore this miracle & what it means for us today.

America Less Religious
Episode 360: We’re back in action! And none too soon! Several news articles indicate that America is becoming less religious. Why is that? Several answers are put forward in each article (see below). However, Scripture may have the best explanation of all. Tune in as I look at Isaiah 6 & the ministry of Isaiah & how his mission is connected with ours.
