What does the Bible actually teach about sex, marriage, purity, temptation, and human sexuality?

In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores God's design for sexuality from Genesis to Revelation. He explains why Scripture presents sex as a good gift within marriage, how sin distorts God's design, and why the gospel offers hope, forgiveness, and transformation for every believer.

Topics include marriage, purity, lust, pornography, adultery, homosexuality, temptation, repentance, and the hope found in Christ.

Whether you are struggling personally or seeking biblical clarity in a confused culture, this episode offers practical wisdom and gospel-centered encouragement.

Did the apostles expect prophecy to be fulfilled in their own generation?

In Episode 10 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers brings together the major events of the first century—Nero's persecution, the ministries and deaths of Peter and Paul, the writing of Revelation, and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Rather than treating these events as unrelated pieces of history, this episode examines how they may fit together as part of the prophetic framework Jesus described decades earlier.

In this episode:

Nero's persecution of the early church

The martyrdom of Peter and Paul

The dating and purpose of Revelation

The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple

The significance of AD 70 in biblical prophecy

How the apostles understood the "last days"

What if the apostles were not warning about events thousands of years in the future, but about a crisis rapidly approaching their own generation? This episode explores how prophecy, history, and the mission of the early church converged in the first century.

Country rooooooooad! Take me hooooooome! To the plaaaaaaaace I beloooooooong!  (Sing along, neighbor. It's a World Cup anthem now!) Also, a Creek Chub is a fish. Not what you're thinking.

THEN: We aren't really "sports people," but we do love a good culture-building ritual.  Fireworks and overcooked hotdogs have their place...  And nobody understands tennis.  Nobody.

LATER:  How do we feel about Hollywood influencers making "documentaries" as publicity stunts?...  Well, they're funny. So, there's that.

In this episode, the Pugsters welcome Megan Basham to the show. Megan is a former culture correspondent for World magazine and host of their popular podcast “The World and Everything in It.” She has since moved to the Daily Wire. Her book, Shepherds for Sale, became a bestseller and raised important questions about what Big Eva is doing and why. In our conversation, we talk about how Megan came on that topic and its continuing relevance in the Evangelical world today.

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, George Sayour explores one of the most overlooked Christ-centered pictures in the Old Testament: Moses striking the rock in Exodus 17.

Why did God command Moses to strike the rock? Why does Paul say in 1 Corinthians 10 that “the rock was Christ”?

From C.S. Lewis’s phrase “God in the Dock” to the cross of Christ, this episode reveals how judgment that belonged to sinners fell instead upon Christ—the true Rock. What happened in the wilderness was not random history. It was a shadow pointing to the Gospel.

Discover how judgment, grace, living water, and redemption all converge in Jesus Christ.

Today I'm sharing a lightly edited version of a conversation I first had with my two daughters exactly one year ago this week, on Father's Day. I personally enjoyed listening to it again, and even learned a few things that I had forgotten (lol), even though I am one of the actors in the story. Thank you for listening and please join our family in praying for China!

I'm your China travel guide, Missionary Ben. Follow me on X (@chinaadventures) where I post daily reminders to pray for China. X is also the best way to contact me. Just follow and send a DM. You can also email me @ bfwesten at gmail dot com

Who is Missionary Ben?

I haven’t done this in a long time, but every now and then I am reminded I should probably give a little bit more of my background (and my China bonafides). Now I can’t divulge very much, for security reasons, but here are the basics: moved to China at the age of 19, in the early 2000s, taught myself to speak (and read) Chinese. Lived there w/ my family til I was deported in 2018. 

Unbeaten: The Story of My Arrest, Interrogation, and Deportation from China (Unbeaten.vip)

Over those nearly 15 years, I set foot in every province, and visited hundreds of cities, towns, and villages. Alongside our evangelistic work, I helped manage a leather factory in a Muslim town, opened a yak burger/pizza restaurant on the Tibetan Plateau, served as a guide and Tibetan taxi driver, and taught English to elementary kids, high schoolers, and young adults.

Today's episode explains why and how well-intentioned Christian political advocates, notably in regard to the politics of abortion, can be taken captive by the empty traditions and philosophies of men that are “not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). David shows why enacting "righteous" statutes is not really the issue in our day; it's far bigger than many Christians think.

Holy Wars — Show Notes: Fight Laugh Feast Documentary

In this Fight Laugh Feast documentary, CrossPolitic traces the inescapable question of holiness from Moses at the burning bush through the Great Awakenings, the Crusades, and into the present culture war — arguing that holiness is not private sentiment but public, world-transforming fire. Featuring historical and theological commentary from Joe Boot and others, the documentary confronts counterfeit holiness in both secular activism and charismatic revivalism, and calls Christians to fight a holy war with the weapons God has actually given them: his Word, his Spirit, and his people.

Does Christian love require us to treat everyone equally? Or does Scripture teach an order to our responsibilities? In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and Alex Kocman examine the historic Christian doctrine of ordo amoris—the order of love. From family and church to nation and neighbor, they explore how Christians should prioritize their time, resources, and responsibilities without abandoning compassion for those in need.

What does it mean to love your neighbor?
Does charity begin at home?
How should Christians think about immigration, missions, public policy, and the common good?

This conversation tackles one of the most important ethical questions facing the modern church.

Topics discussed:
Ordo Amoris (Order of Love)
Charity Begins at Home
Christian Ethics
Family, Church, and Nation
Biblical Compassion
Christian Nationalism and Public Policy
The Good Samaritan
Reformed Theology
