Krista and Monique sit down with Ryan Brown, CEO of Open Doors US, to explore the reality of the global persecuted church. They discuss the ministry’s origins with Brother Andrew smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain 70 years ago, the biblical view of persecution, and why the church often advances most powerfully under pressure.

Ryan shares sobering statistics and explains Open Doors’ World Watch List, which ranks the 50 countries where believers experience the most hostility. The conversation dives deep into Nigeria (ranked #7) and challenges Western believers to move to action through prayer, solidarity, and practical support like providing Scriptures.

Monique and Krista unpack "Childism," the emerging critical theory framework that views children as an oppressed class and traditional parenting as a form of adultism. They examine its strong influence on popular Gentle Parenting leaders like Sarah Ockwell-Smith and Dr. Becky Kennedy, and how it mirrors Critical Race Theory. Discover how this ideology is quietly shaping education, culture, and parenting—and learn how to respond with a distinctly biblical worldview that honors both the dignity of children and God-given parental responsibility.

Monique and Krista (Theology Mom) sit down with Dr. Corey Miller, President of Ratio Christi, to discuss his new book The Progressive Miseducation of America. They explore how progressive ideology has hijacked education—from universities to K-12 classrooms—shifting the purpose of education away from truth, knowledge, and the good life toward social justice, equity, empathy, and cultural Marxism. Dr. Miller unpacks the dangers of indoctrination over critical thinking, and why so many Christian young people are walking away from the faith. The conversation offers practical wisdom for parents and grandparents to engage culture without compromising biblical truth.

In this timely conversation, Brady Cone (founder of Calibrate Ministries) joins us to discuss the Side B approach to ministering to those who struggle with same sex attraction.

Several major Christian institutions use the Side B approach to disciple college students, including Biola University and CRU.

Brady draws from his own journey out of the LGBTQ life to explain what Side B actually teaches, how it differs from both Side A and biblical discipleship, and why labeling ourselves by our attractions undermines the full freedom the gospel provides.

We explore the real-world impact of Side B on identity and one’s walk with Christ. If you’re walking this road yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this episode offers biblical clarity, compassion, and the lasting freedom found in Christ alone.
