Pride Month’s War on Children

Note: This episode contains subject matter that may not be suitable for young children. We made our best effort to keep the information non-descriptive.“Pride Month” has become a sacred cow of secular religion. Children are increasingly targeted for grooming.The recent “Drag the Kids to Pride” event in Dallas, Texas demonstrated this as parents forced their young children to watch “drag queens” dance for money.The kids didn’t want to be there for their parents’ secular ritual.Commentators Alex Stein and John Doyle went there to report, chat, and preach. They revealed things the mainstream media ignored.As Christians we must be bold about the truth that the Bible clearly condemns “pride” and the goals of “Pride Month.” We must be vigilant to protect

“Mostly Peaceful” Protests After the Supreme Court Leak

Chelsea and I talk about the aftermath of the Supreme Court leak of the draft of the ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson case that court overturn Roe v. Wade.Senate Democrats tried to ram through a radical abortion law that lost 49-51.Churches experienced raucous protests on Mother’s Day.The Wisconsin Family Action office was vandalized and received terrifying voice messages.Supreme Court justices endured unlawful protests at their residential homes.Abortion advocates testified before Congress and refused to answer obviously necessary questions about what abortion does.We must stand for the truth boldly in this present evil age.Sources Referenced:Wisconsin Family Voice, “Listen to the voicemails left for us after the attack,” Wisconsin Family Action, May 12, 2022.Billy Hallowell, “‘Burn, Little Jesus Freaks!’ Horrific, Creepy,

What About That Supreme Court Leak?

We look at some salient points from the leaked draft opinion in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case.The draft argues that the decisions of Roe vs. Wade and Planned Parenthood vs. Casey “must be overruled.” Many pro-abortion activists are crying foul that this is judicial activism and an attack on a “fundamental right” to an abortion.When we see the arguments and the rules in both Roe and Casey detailed in the draft, they clearly are themselves judicial activism. There simply is no federal “right” to an abortion recognized by the Constitution as a compact among the states.If this draft passes, it does not ban abortions, despite the protests. It simply argues that the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction

Rethinking Money and Ministry with Conley Owens

Conley Owens is a husband and father of eight children. He is a pastor at Silicon Valley Reformed Baptist Church. He also has a full time job as a software engineer at Google.But Conley is more than just a modern day Batman. He has thought deeply about how modern Christianity has commercialized ministry contrary to the examples and teachings in the Bible.Conley’s book The Dorean Principle is an eye-opening look at how Christians should raise funds without turning the gospel into a product and recipients into consumers.The way we publish books, host conferences, and charge speaker fees deserves some fresh criticism! And that is why The Dorean Principle demands the church’s consideration.Further Research:The Dorean Principle: A Biblical Response to the

The Wonder of the Crucifixion

Chelsea and I break down the timeline of the crucifixion according to the gospel accounts.The agony of this brutal form of execution helps us to see what Jesus was willing to anticipate and endure.Yet, what makes this spectacle even more amazing are the prophecies Jesus and others involved in this event fulfill.Prepare to cherish Christ dearly through this deep and captivating look at the day of atonement!

The Politics of Jesus’ Trials and Crucifixion

Chelsea and I continue our series on the Passion Week and note the worldly politics that led to Jesus’ atonement.We cover Jesus’ betrayal and arrest, His six trials, Peter’s denials, the release of Barabbas, and Jesus’ final sentence.We ponder the question “Who put Jesus on the cross?”

The Lord’s Supper: Transubstantiation? (part 2)

In this episode of Truthspresso Express I analyze more arguments for the Roman Catholic dogma of transubstantiation while driving to work in the morning and from work in the evening.How does Jesus going away and returning to earth conflict with the claims of Transubstantiation? What about the role of the Holy Spirit as “another Comforter” in Jesus’ bodily absence?Can Transubstantiation confuse the human and divine attributes of Christ?How does the Council of Trent claiming that the “whole Christ” is found in the bread or in the wine separately help with a “literal” reading of Jesus’ words?How does Transubstantiation ultimately affect the doctrine of salvation?This episode is inspired by the recent episode of Theology Throw Down in the Christian Podcast Community.
