Nigerian Christians are being targeted and killed -- and their government is doing nothing about it. Host Casey Harper is joined by Nigerian native and founder of Stefanos Foundation, Mark Lipdo, and Family Research Council’s Arielle Del Turco to shed light on the brutal persecution of Christians in Nigeria. For many, the threat of an attack from radical Islamist groups is simply part of their daily lives. Mark shares his story, explaining why he founded the Stefanos Foundation and what life is like for Christians in Nigeria. With jihadists being the main aggressors towards Christians, the three address the very real and dangerous reality for Christians in Nigeria and what America can do to help end the violence.

Why the Prison Pulpit? 

The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison. 

Richard Wurmbrand’s birthday was yesterday, March 24th (1909). 

Today we will look at some of his “birthday writings” from prison…

People are inescapable in the field of business. Even if you're on your own, your customers are people. And, it's hard to think of a business where you're not having to deal with any people in order to serve those customers. So, people in the input, people in the output. What sort of approach should a business owner have in his day-to-day interactions with other people?

ABOUT CROSSPOLITIC

CrossPolitic exists to put Jesus over Politics and reclaim the public square through bold, joyful, biblically grounded media. We confront the chaos discipling America and build the next generation of Christian media infrastructure. Our mission is simple: all of Christ for all of media for all of America. Mainstream media is collapsing. Eighty-seven percent of journalists identify as progressive, and even many conservative outlets prioritize profit over principle. Meanwhile, billions of hours of digital content are discipling the world every day. CrossPolitic stands in that gap, producing courageous, entertaining, truth-filled media for households, churches, and leaders across the nation.

Joshua Haymes talks with Josiah Stowe about the history and theology of usury and money lending.

What does the Bible actually say about interest? Has the definition of usury changed over time? And how should Christians think about lending, debt, and modern finance?

A clear and thoughtful conversation on Scripture, economics, and faithful stewardship.

Is AI making us dumber—or actually making us more capable?

In this episode, Josh Daws examines two competing narratives about artificial intelligence. A recent MIT study suggests that reliance on AI may lead to declining cognitive engagement. But a Harvard study shows the opposite: when used properly, AI can significantly amplify human productivity and ability.

So which is it? 

Josh places this debate in historical context, going all the way back to Socrates, who warned that the invention of writing would weaken human memory. He wasn’t entirely wrong—but writing also transformed the world for the better.

Every major technological advancement comes with trade-offs. Some abilities may atrophy, but others expand dramatically.
 
The real question isn’t whether AI changes us—it’s how we use it.

And for Christians, that question carries even greater weight. Scripture calls us to exercise dominion, not retreat in fear. If AI is a tool, then it must be brought under wise, disciplined, and faithful use.

Are we becoming weaker—or being equipped for greater responsibility?

Matt Plett examines one of the most misunderstood aspects of biblical prophecy: literalism.

In passages like Matthew 24 and Revelation, Scripture speaks of the sun darkening, the moon not giving its light, and stars falling from heaven. But are these events meant to be taken literally?

 Drawing from Old Testament prophetic language, Matt shows how this imagery has historically been used to describe divine judgment and major covenantal shifts—not physical cosmic collapse.

If we misunderstand the language, we risk misunderstanding the message.
