In this God is the Issue Podcast, Brad Bright exposes the most dangerous threat to America—leaders who have a “bent” view of God.The Texas Senate candidate and self-identified Christian seminarian, James Talacarico, appeared on the Joe Rogan podcast claiming:

- God is nonbinary, - God asked the Virgin Mary’s “consent” as a justification for abortion, - God must be okay with homosexual behavior because Jesus never mentioned it.Brad shows how these claims contradict Scripture, mock God’s sovereignty, imply God is dumb, and reveal a reinvented, nonbinary, puny God.In Matthew 7: 15, Jesus said we must be “fruit” inspectors to determine whether or not a person is a “false prophet.” Brad evaluates Talarico’s statements to expose his “fruit”—how he reinvents God by bending scripture.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you a realtime update on where things stand with my cancer. There's a new tumor we're zapping with radiation this week. The last 18 months I’ve been off all the drugs because they created debilitating brain fog.

Now my doctors are recommending a modified drug to temporarily halt the cancer. They think it will create substantially less brain fog. I'll give it a shot and keep you posted.Kathy shares her heart too—the tough balance of supporting my choices even when they mean a shorter time together. We've turned this into one of the sweetest seasons of our marriage: chasing bucket list adventures, embracing every day, and refusing to let cancer steal our joy.God has been our Coach through it all—bringing clarity on what truly matters, strength, peace, and meaning. We're excited about meeting our first granddaughter soon. Brad’s big project this year is writing his dad’s (Bill Bright) biography. Cancer is part of our reality, but God is the bigger story. Therefore, whatever happens, we win.

In this eye-opening episode of the God Is the Issue Podcast, Brad Bright exposes how the original Seven Mountains Mandate—a vision given to his father Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham—has been hijacked and distorted into a dangerous pursuit of political power.

Bill Bright focused on proclamation not power. Proclaiming the Gospel to cultural gatekeepers as ambassadors of Christ. Accelerating the Great Commission by focusing on people not power. Today's version trades a fishing pole for a sword, replacing God's strategy with Man's strategy.

Discover the key differences. Power corrupts the heart; Jesus redeems it. True revival comes from reaching people, not conquering systems. The core problem is personal not systemic. 

If you're concerned about the power-driven direction some Christians are heading, this episode is a must-watch. Like, subscribe, and hit the bell for more truth-centered discussions!
