What’s really going on with the Ten Commandments at the University of Arkansas?

In this special emergency episode, Abigail DeJarnatt addresses the firestorm surrounding Counteract USA’s recent donation of framed Ten Commandments to the University of Arkansas. She breaks down the Arkansas law that made it possible, what it says about our culture’s view of truth and morality, and why Christians can’t afford to stay silent. 

From the roots of America’s moral foundation, to the myth of “separation of church and state,” to why local journalism has to do better, Abigail brings Biblical clarity and courage to a moment that’s exposing the spiritual battle in our nation’s education system.

“There is right and wrong and meaning and purpose in the world—and there’s a God who sees us, knows us, and loves us.”

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” - Romans 1:16 ESV

Can the media we consume influence what we believe it means to be human? 

In this episode, Abigail DeJarnatt dives into the new Tron: Ares movie and the growing transhumanist ethos in pop culture. Through a Biblical lens, she explores how movies and tech narratives can subtly reshape our understanding of the Imago Dei—and why losing sight of God’s design for humanity has devastating moral and spiritual consequences.

Then, as a bonus close, Counteract USA COO Allie Paris joins for a lighter but meaningful discussion on Taylor Swift, music, and modern excellence.

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…’” — Genesis 1:26–27 (ESV)

For over a decade, Christians in Nigeria have been massacred by extremist groups—and the world has looked away.


In this episode, Allison Lind exposes the truth behind what’s happening in Nigeria, why mainstream media refuses to call it a genocide, and what believers in the West must do to stand with our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ.

We’ll unpack the history, the politics, and the spiritual reality of persecution—and how prayer, awareness, and action can turn the tide.

“If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” — John 15:18 (ESV)

Evil doesn’t rest—and neither should we. 

In this episode, Grant May returns to the Counteract Podcast to unpack the Biblical theology of good and evil—and why forgiveness never means abandoning justice.

Drawing from Scripture, Grant examines Erika Kirk’s powerful act of forgiveness after the tragedy that shook the conservative movement, and challenges Christians to understand what it really means to abhor evil, cling to good, and refuse neutrality in a world that calls darkness light.

“There’s not one inch of the universe over which Christ does not declare, ‘Mine.’” — Abraham Kuyper

“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” — Romans 12:9 ESV

How should Christians think about mental health?

In this episode, Abigail DeJarnatt takes a biblical and practical look at one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian culture. She unpacks how the modern conversation around mental health has been distorted—yet why it’s still a real issue believers must address with grace and truth. 

From Scripture to personal experience, Abigail walks through what it means to take every thought captive, how to discern between spiritual and physical struggles, and what it looks like to pursue peace through Christ.

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds… and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (ESV)

What do we do when TikTok trends try to predict the return of Christ? Is the rapture even a thing?

In this episode, Abigail DeJarnatt takes on #RaptureTok—a recent viral wave of rapture predictions—and explains why Christians don’t have to fear cultural panic or internet prophecies. 

Instead, we anchor our hope in what Scripture actually says: Jesus is coming back, but no one knows the day or the hour (or how or in what series of events). Through passages like Matthew 24, 1 Thessalonians 4, and 1 Corinthians 15, we’re reminded that the point isn’t when or how but that He is returning. 

The real question: Are we living ready?

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain." — 1 Corinthians 15:58 (ESV)

When headlines won’t stop and your heart is exhausted, where do you turn? 

In this episode, Allison Lind shares honest, Scripture-rooted encouragement after a heavy month marked by grief, spiritual warfare, and the shock of national events. Reflecting on moments like Charlie Kirk’s memorial—and Erika Kirk’s public forgiveness—she points us to the only unshakable hope: Christ. 

Learn how to grieve with God, resist fear of man, take up your cross daily, and keep “plodding” forward in faithful endurance.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction…” — 2 Corinthians 1:3–5 (ESV)

Can God use a memorial to spark a movement?

Grant May was in the room at Charlie Kirk’s memorial in Phoenix last weekend. In this episode, he joins Abigail DeJarnatt to share firsthand reflections on what happened, the gospel-centered moments that defined the service, and how Gen Z Christians can boldly bring their faith into the public square without compromise.

“Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.” — Philippians 1:15–18 ESV

Where’s the line between medicine that restores and technology that tries to replace God’s design?

In Part Two of Abigail’s conversation with her brother Caleb, they tackle the ethical dilemmas of transhumanism—prosthetics, Neuralink, therapy vs. enhancement, “morphological freedom,” and even how social media and avatars shape a soft transhumanist culture.

This discussion connects it all back to the imago Dei, showing why Christians can’t be neutral on technology and why wisdom, solitude, and grounding in Scripture matter now more than ever.
