Krista is done with religious neutrality. In this raw Family Meeting (solo while Monique's flying home from TPUSA), she exposes Islam's 3-stage jihad plan to colonize America—and share EXACTLY what Christians must do NOW to save our Christian nation. This is your wake-up call.

We dive into Biola University's policies on sexuality and gender, raising critical questions for all Christian parents, alumni, and donors. As Biola grads, we unpack concerning wording in student life policies, from vague language on gender and sexuality to questionable approaches to transgender issues. Are these policies influenced by secular ideologies like gender theory? We explore what these policies might mean for students and why informed consent is crucial before writing that tuition check. Watch now to get equipped with the questions you need to ask any Christian college.

Join us as we unpack a whirlwind week filled with personal loss, unexpected challenges, and deep conversations. We reflect on the passing of our friend, Dr. Voddie Baucham, sharing unreleased footage and memories of his profound impact on the founding of the Center for Biblical Unity. We also dived into tough topics like the toxic online discourse around Israel and Jewish people, the rise of democratic socialism. Toward the end, we shared some of our personal thoughts and experiences with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

Join us as we share our reactions to the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service, where powerful gospel presentations, worship, and patriotism took center stage. We also touch on the debate over Christian nationalism, addressing Jamar Tisby’s claims and unpack misconceptions about black culture from a viral New Christendom clip.

Correction on Tulsi's religious background: Gabbard was raised in Hawaii by her mother, who was a practicing Hindu, and her father, who is Roman Catholic. Gabbard's family was deeply involved with the Science of Identity Foundation, a religious group in Hawaii and an offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement.

Join us for this hodge-podge of a "Family Meeting," where we dive into gratitude, faith, and navigating the week's social media themes. We discuss our candid questions about the state of the American education system and explore the meaning of Christian unity and what makes it unique. We share some thoughts about why trust in institutions is faltering, why conspiracy theories are so popular, and how biblical principles offer hope and clarity.

Monique Duson, Kevin Briggins and Krista Bontrager jumped on a livestream to share their thoughts about the day's tragedy: the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of TPUSA.

Monique is joined by Dr. Thaddeus Williams, professor at Biola University, for a deep dive into a conversation of socialism versus capitalism from a biblical perspective. They discuss why many young Christians, particularly those aged 18-29, are drawn to socialist ideas. They unpack the misconceptions about socialism, its historical track record, and how it aligns—or conflicts—with biblical principles. Discover why 60-62% of young Americans view socialism favorably and explore the dangers of blending socialist ideology with Christian theology.

They tackle tough questions: Is wealth inherently exploitative? Can markets exist under socialism? How should Christians approach justice and helping the poor? This thought-provoking discussion challenges bumper-sticker slogans and encourages viewers to love God and the poor with both heart and mind.

This week on the Family Meeting, Krista was joined by Kevin Briggins and Dr. Jeff Degner from Cornerstone University. We reacted to a recent social media post on the CFBU Facebook page where commenters were talking about blending Christianity with socialism—can they coexist? Dr. Degner, an expert in economics from the Mises Institute, unpacks a few of the theological and economic flaws of socialism, drawing from Genesis 1:27-28 to highlight its conflict with biblical principles like private property and human nature. We also talked about the current administration's tariff policies, minimum wage and inflation from a biblical point of view.
