The Dictator 4:26

13h ago4:26

4:26

In this episode, we unpack the story of Cola di Rienzo—hailed by poets as a champion of the people but ruling as a ruthless dictator—and explore how his rise mirrors modern tyrants’ use of populist rhetoric to seize power. We’ll then turn to Scripture’s view of government as godly law-keeper and protector of honest, hard-working citizens, asking wh…

In this episode, we share a minister’s—and contractors’—true tales of battling endless government permits and inspections, then trace how this bureaucratic overreach reflects our abandonment of God’s self-regulating law.

The Great Commandment 2:38

2:38

In this episode, we explore how ancient Israel’s unchecked syncretism—mixing Baal worship with the worship of Yahweh—led the northern kingdom into spiritual dilution and eventual exile. We’ll trace how today’s churches often fall into the same trap, offering a “religious buffet” that replaces the uncompromised Word of God with man-made ideas. Final…

Honor to Whom Honor is Due 1:42

5d ago1:42

1:42

Does holding an office make a man honorable—or is true honor earned through godly character? In this episode, we explore Lord Acton’s piercing insight: “There is no worse heresy than that the office sanctifies the holder of it.” From pastors to politicians, Scripture calls us to discern the difference between the dignity of a role and the reality o…

When Mount St. Helens erupted, the ash cloud darkened skies for miles—but some experts insisted it would have no effect on the weather. In this episode, we explore how modern pride blinds us to reality and truth. From denying God’s power in creation to exalting human control, this pride mirrors the original sin of Eden.

Barbarians 2:06

Barbarians aren’t just figures of the past—they’re among us today.

What does it mean to live as tenants in God’s world? In this episode, we explore Psalm 147 and the biblical truth that the God of nature is also the God of revelation.

Community 2:32

10d ago2:32

2:32

What does true community look like—and why is it impossible without Christ? In this episode, we explore how fallen humanity resists interdependence in a desire to be self-made “gods,” echoing Karl Marx’s vision of a world without need for one another. But Scripture tells a different story: we are members one of another (Eph. 4:25), made for relatio…

The Truth 2:04

12d ago2:04

2:04

What is truth—and where do we find it? In this episode, we reflect on Jesus’ claim in John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” With insight from the medieval scholar Gratian—“The Lord said, ‘I am the truth,’ not, ‘I am custom or constitution’”—we confront the temptation to anchor our faith in tradition, nostalgia, or national identity ra…

A Living Sacrifice 2:16

14d ago2:16

2:16

What does it truly mean to be a “living sacrifice” for God? In this episode, we explore Paul’s challenge in Romans 12:1, calling believers to give their whole selves—mind, body, and will—to the service of the Lord. Though millions in America claim to be “born-again,” the church’s fading influence tells another story: one of partial commitment and s…

Lawlessness in the Nation 2:00

What happens when a nation abandons God’s law? In this sobering episode, we look at shocking real-life examples of courtroom corruption and ask why justice has become so twisted. From coin-flip sentencing to criminals walking free on technicalities, the root problem isn't just legal—it's theological. Proverbs 29:18 tells us that where there is no p…

Fraudulent Morality 3:19

18d ago3:19

3:19

Is your morality honest—or fraudulent? In this episode, we expose the subtle but deadly tendency to demand virtue from others while excusing ourselves. From political crusades to institutional “compassion,” our culture often replaces personal responsibility with impersonal solutions. But true morality doesn’t begin with outrage at the world—it begi…
