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?

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

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.

So, the World Economic Forum (WEF) met again at their luxurious resort in the alpines at Davos, Switzerland. Their theme was “Rebuilding trust in the future.” In this episode we look briefly at how the WEF began and how their major agendas include promoting “stakeholder capitalism” and global cooperation in the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” Next, we see three hypocrisies with the messages and lifestyles of the Davos elites: “rebuilding trust” using “escort services” environmental footprint Finally, the eccentric and intelligent new president of Argentina Javier Milei crashed the party by giving attendees and viewers a warning that the West is in danger and that the WEF’s agendas are a form of socialism and lead to poverty.

With the complaints about redacted documents leading to starting this new year with unsealing names in a Jeffrey Epstein case, Chelsea and I talk about the practice of redactions. A lot of sensitive information must be redacted for the public to access court filings without endangering innocent people. But, can people and entities with power go too far? Are we seeing a lot of excessive redactions to protect the guilty rather than the innocent? The Bible teaches about divine redactions for those who believe the gospel. The finally wicked, however, will face the greatest unsealing of information in history!
