  • Godly Legacy or Family Mess? What Every Christian Needs to Know About Wills, Trusts & Business

    Most Christians don’t think about legacy planning until it’s too late. In this powerful episode, attorney Samuel Johnson joins Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter to walk through biblical wealth building, estate and legacy planning, child custody, trusts, Christian business formation, and how to protect your assets for future generations.

    Raised on a farm in Michigan and now leading a legal practice in Alabama, Samuel shares his inspiring journey—from logger and denture craftsman to law school and clerking for a Supreme Court justice. With clarity and conviction, he shows why dominion-minded Christians must plan ahead—not just for their own security, but for the flourishing of their household and future generations.

    • From Courtroom to Culture War: Ben Dupre and the Christian Fight for Life

      What happens when the battle for truth moves from the courtroom to the womb?

      Attorney Ben Dupre returns to Everyday Reformation to continue our conversation on courage, conviction, and standing firm for truth in a culture at war with God’s design for life.

      In this second part, we move from legal battles to moral battlegrounds — tackling abortion, IVF, adoption, and personhood through a biblical lens. Ben draws from his experience in Alabama’s Supreme Court, his pro-life ministry, and his work in adoption law, helping believers see how theology meets real life in the public square.

      From the overturning of Roe v. Wade to the IVF controversy and the fight for life after birth, this episode calls Christians to stay alert, live courageously, and engage faithfully in every sphere of culture.

      👉 If you missed Part 1, go back and listen to Ben’s story of standing alongside Chief Justice Roy Moore during the Ten Commandments Monument case — a defining moment for Christian courage in our generation.

      1. The Wild Love of God by Chris Dupré

        • Authored by Ben’s uncle, Chris Dupré.

        • A personal and theological reflection on the Father’s love, interwoven with their family story — including the WWII experiences of Ben’s grandfather, David Dupré, who was a POW.

        • Ben describes it as “a beautiful book of the Father’s wild love for us” and “a cool World War II story.”

        • So Help Me God by Roy Moore

          • Autobiography and legal testimony from Chief Justice Roy Moore.

          • Chronicles his stand for the Ten Commandments Monument, religious liberty, and biblical law in public life.

          • The Household That Changed Europe: Luther, Katie, and Reformation at the Table

            What if the most powerful act of resistance in a collapsing culture isn’t loud or public—but quietly faithful? In this Reformation Month episode, Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter tell the astonishing story of Martin Luther and Katharina von Bora—a monk and a nun who defied Rome, married, raised children, and reformed the world... starting at their kitchen table.

            From smuggling nuns in barrels to building a household that doubled as a seminary, this episode dives deep into how biblical patriarchy, family worship, and dominion living shaped the Reformation—and why it's more relevant than ever.

            👉 Whether you're a husband, a mother, or someone longing to build a godly household, this episode equips you with vision and practical theology for reforming your own home.

          • Fear of God vs Fear of Man: How Martin Luther Found Freedom in the Storm

            “Everywhere you look, there’s anxiety.”

            From war in the Middle East to unrest at home, the world trembles under fear.
            In this Reformation-Month episode, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins open the story of a young monk caught in a thunderstorm—and the discovery that turned fear into freedom.

            Together they trace Martin Luther’s storm vow, his awakening to the gospel of grace, and the courage that enabled him to stand before emperors and change history.

            This conversation unpacks how the fear of God frees us from the fear of man, why the Word of God alone reforms hearts and homes, and how believers today can live with conviction in an anxious age.

          • What He Must Be: Voddie Baucham’s Legacy of Biblical Manhood & Family Reformation

            What if your greatest mission field isn’t overseas—but right at your dinner table?

            In this episode of Everyday Reformation, Nick Carter and Pastor Brandon Scroggins reflect on the life and legacy of Voddie Baucham—a man whose bold preaching, biblical fatherhood, and cultural clarity shaped a generation of men and families. From What He Must Be and Family Shepherds to Fault Lines and beyond, Voddie didn’t just talk theology—he taught us how to live it.

            Brandon shares how Baucham’s books transformed his household, counseling ministry, and church leadership. Nick opens up about how the biblical courtship message hit home—literally. Together, they explore themes like:

            • Biblical patriarchy and household leadership

            • The father as prophet, priest, protector, and provider

            • Why your kids are not the missionaries—they are the mission field

            • Discipling children before sending them out

            • The collapse of youth ministry and entertainment-driven church models

            • Voddie’s confrontation with CRT, wokeism, and cultural compromise

            • Suffering well and finishing strong

              This isn’t just a memorial. It’s a call to pick up the torch and carry forward a legacy of everyday reformation.

              📚 Featured Books by Voddie Baucham:
              • What He Must Be

              • Cancel Columbus? What the Revisionists Won’t Tell You

                Was Christopher Columbus a Christ-haunted hero or just another greedy colonizer? In this insightful episode of Everyday Reformation, Brandon Scroggins and Nick Carter are joined by pastor, constitutional attorney, and historian Lt. Col. John Eidsmoe to cut through the modern myths and revisionist narratives surrounding Christopher Columbus.

                Eidsmoe—author of Columbus & Cortez: Conquerors for Christ—unpacks the explorer’s true motives, legacy, and theological convictions. Far from the secular caricature of conquest and greed, Columbus emerges as a flawed but faith-driven man seeking to extend Christendom and fulfill the Great Commission.

                From dispelling the myth that he “proved the world was round,” to his evangelistic aims in the New World, this episode challenges today’s anti-Western bias and reclaims the dominion vision behind one of history’s most controversial figures. We also dig into the providential timing of Columbus’ voyage—wedged between the Crusades and the Protestant Reformation.

              • When the World Breaks, the Church Must Shepherd: Biblical Counseling in Crisis

                In this second part of our deep-dive with biblical counselor Mark Travers, we move beyond foundational truths to explore how biblical counseling brings real transformation—especially in the face of a world unraveling around us. Following recent national tragedies—including the murder in Charlotte, the killing of a retired Auburn professor, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk—many Christians are asking: How do I stay faithful? Where does healing come from? What’s the role of the church in all of this?

                Mark helps us answer these timely questions with biblical clarity and pastoral wisdom, showing how the sufficiency of Scripture, the put off/put on model of change, and the local church’s role in soul care are not just theological ideas, but practical lifelines for real people in real crises. We also unpack the historical foundations of family discipleship in the Reformed tradition and how churches can reclaim their calling to counsel the hurting with both truth and hope.

                Whether you're a pastor, a parent, a counselor, or a believer trying to hold fast in dark days, this episode offers practical tools and spiritual encouragement for walking faithfully—and helping others do the same.

                📌 Topics Covered:

                • The connection between spiritual and physical issues (anxiety, anger, depression)

                • Why “biblical counseling” is not the same as Christianized therapy

                • The local church’s responsibility in shepherding the hurting

                • Real-life stories of transformation through the Word

                • The Westminster Confession's forgotten charge to heads of households

                  📖 Scripture Focus: Ephesians 4, 2 Timothy 3:16–17, 1 Thessalonians 5

                • 15 Minutes of Truth: A Bold Response to the Death of Charlie Kirk

                  In this urgent and fearless episode of Everyday Reformation, we share a powerful 15-minute message from Pastor Brandon Scroggins in response to the shocking death of Charlie Kirk.

                  This is not a eulogy. It’s a bold declaration of truth—exposing the spiritual darkness behind our cultural decay, calling out the cowardice infecting much of the modern church, and confronting the demonic ideologies that now parade as virtue in our nation.

                  From fatherless homes to weak pulpits, from compromised civil magistrates to the rise of godless education, Pastor Brandon calls the church to rise—with clarity, courage, and conviction.

                  - Worship is warfare.

                  - Truth must be applied.
                  - Christ must be exalted over every square inch.

                  If you're tired of watered-down responses to a nation in crisis, this message will stir your spirit, steel your convictions, and call you back to the front lines of reformation.
