Christ is King! This statement has become controversial in the last week. Instead of arguing over the politics of it, I talk about the doctrines of Jesus Christ that make Him king: Christ is King because of the Trinity Christ is King because of the Incarnation (which depends on the Trinity) Christ is King because of substitutionary atonement (which depends on the incarnation) Christ is King because of the resurrection (which depends on substitutionary atonement) Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 110:1 Matthew 28:18-19 1 Corinthians 12:3-11 Isaiah 45:22-23 Philippians 2:5-11 Isaiah 53:10-12 Hebrews 2:14-18 Acts 2:30-36 1 Peter 3:18-22 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 ***Castle Rock Women’s Healthis a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

I talk about how some current news items reflect an unbiblical crusade against the intuitions of human nature. We all know the Ten Commandments make perfect sense for both personal virtue and a flourishing society. However, we also recognize how the Fall of man tempts us to yield to base desires. The philosophies of world that we see all around us in the news try to subject the human nature that reflects the image of God to the whims of base desires. They try make people fight over who gets to satisfy their own base desires at the expense of others. We should not lose heart as we know our labor is not in vain, and Jesus Christ as the

Chelsea and I recall a few Sunday School stories from the Bible that demonstrate a running theme: they all required courage to trust God with results. ***Castle Rock Women’s Healthis a pro-life and pro-women health care ministry.

I go “solo” in this episode, but I have a virtual companion for some of the episode. Artificial Intelligence (AI) engines may offer us untold potential for productivity. However, if used for political control of news and research, they could cause chilling effects. First, we look at how Google Gemini’s “diversity” pictures caused backlash and blunted the success of its debut. Meta’s AI also showed similar problems. Then, I ask Google Gemini some questions about its past, some philosophy, and some theology. What can AI tell us about the Christian Podcast Community and the Truthspresso podcast? Finally, I test Gemini’s creativity to write some poems about Truthspresso. A sonnet about Truthspresso: A shot of faith, a podcast sharp and bold,

On February 20, 2024, The Alabama Supreme Court in the case James LePage, et al. v. The Center for Reproductive Medicine and Mobile Infirmary Association ruled in favor of the plaintiffs who suffered a loss of their frozen offspring as a result of an accident at a fertility clinic. The issue now is what happens to in vitro fertilization (IVF) in the state of Alabama? The state House and Senate both passed emergency bills to protect current IVF treatments while not challenging the ruling. What is the most consistent pro-life position on this issue? Is it possible to practice a form of IVF that attempts to be 100% pro-life? Chelsea and I discuss important sections of the ruling, a concurring

Disclaimer: we talk about some gruesome details of abortion procedures and results. In March of 2022 the Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising group obtained five bodies of babies possibly birth-sized babies in a box of 115 aborted bodies destined for processing as “medical waste.” For two years D.C. has claimed to investigate if the “D.C. five” were killed illegally (as opposed to killed legally). As the Biden administration has attempted to dispose these bodies, pro-life groups and members of Congress are fighting to keep the baby bodies available and force a real investigation. Is Washington, D.C. trying to cover up full-blown infanticide? Well, we believe all abortion results in “infanticide,” but how far does this culture of death go in the sacred

Once again a multimillion-dollar campaign called “He Gets Us” aired an ad during the Super Bowl. The ad presented a slide show of people often at political odds washing one another’s feet. Well, usually it was the “conservative” washing the feet of the “liberal.” It ended with “Jesus didn’t preach hate. He washed feet.” What does the Bible saying about foot washing? What does the “He Gets Us” campaign get right in the ad and its website, and what may it get wrong? Could a campaign focused on disarming social issues lure people into becoming disciples of Jesus?

Better than a Hallmark movie! Well, in our opinion, anyway. Join us for a walk down memory lane as we share our love story. Chuckle together with us through our journey of how we met, became friends, dated, got engaged, and ultimately married. The cuteness factor just may be off the charts! As we celebrated 12 years of marriage, we hope our story will encourage singles to seek God’s will for their future and couples to be dearest friends. This episode was the kick start to a series of episodes about marriage and family. Scriptures Cited: Proverbs 18:22 Other episodes in this series: How God Wrote Our Love Story Thinking Biblically About Marriage Tips for Singles Looking for a Spouse

When a distressed woman wrote to Scottish Pastor Alistair Begg about how to handle her son’s “transgender wedding,” he counseled her to attend it and bring a wedding gift–as long as her son knows that she doesn’t affirm this unbiblical relationship. Over four months after Dr. Begg mentioned this in an interview the Christian sphere on the Internet exploded, calling him to repent. Begg doubled down that his advice was only specific to a difficult situation. The controversy has recently cost him radio networks and planned speaking engagements in conferences. While I strongly disagree with Begg’s advice and pray that he will reconsider, I also advise fellow Christians not to resort to “cancel culture.” As the Apostle Paul says, “Speak

Disclaimer: This episode discusses some explicit topics but we do our best to be discrete. With the unsealed information coming out about the mysterious trafficking criminal Jeffrey Epstein, Chelsea and I are doing a series about his life and effects. This episode is part 2 and covers Epstein’s legal issues and court cases that kept the depth of his depravity sealed for over a decade. Once the house of cards fell, Epstein found himself in prison for a few months until his mysterious death.
