Episode Summary: 

Western civilization is being washed away by a flood of corrosive ideas. In a moment such as this, we must anchor ourselves to the firm foundation from whom its flourishing grew. We need a last-ditch ‘Hail Mary,’ or more so a wholehearted “Hail Christ the King.” This week, John Stonestreet shares about the new documentary he co-hosted, Truth Rising. In this candid conversation, we cover why our cultural moment feels unmoored, why truth can’t remain a private belief, and how courageous discipleship can actually rebuild what’s been breaking.

Drawing on themes from Truth Rising, John helps us make sense of the cultural crossroads before us: decline, revolution, or renewal. He emphasizes the need to call believers to a fuller gospel that actively engages in God’s redemptive work in every area of culture and life. As we discuss the powerful testimonies of Jack Phillips, Chloe Cole, and others, we consider the real cost of believers speaking and living for the truth. Join us for a conversation that will challenge and equip you to take your next step toward truth, love, and cultural transformation.

Episode Summary: 

Conversations about crime and immigration are extremely charged today, and sincere people see these issues very differently. Why? Today, Dr. Mark Moland joins us to go beyond headlines and soundbites, unpacking the worldview assumptions shaping modern criminal justice and the immigration debates. Drawing on his experience, Mark shows how our beliefs about human nature, government, and justice shape the policies we support and how we treat our neighbors, whom we are called to love.

Hear him present a compelling biblical framework that balances compassion and truth. Affirming the God-given dignity of immigrants while recognizing the essential role of law enforcement and wise government boundaries. Mark also explores the power of community engagement, relationship-building, and the pursuit of shalom as a path toward safer, healthier, and more cohesive communities and cities. We hope this conversation will offer clarity on these critical issues and guidance for faithful Christian engagement in this tense cultural moment.

Episode Summary: 

What if revival isn’t measured by packed worship nights, but by reformed schools, honest businesses, and just cities?

Pastor Teo Hayashi joins us from Brazil to challenge the Church’s narrow vision of success and call us back to the gospel of the Kingdom.

We explore why social ills keep rising even as churches multiply, tracing how the divide between Sunday faith and Monday life has hollowed out our mission. We unpack how Christian dualism and fundamentalism’s retreat from society over the last century has left believers unsure how to shape culture. Teo’s challenge: recover a Kingdom vision that trains disciples for every area of life—from classrooms to studios, from startups to city halls.

We hope this episode is a wake-up call for the global church. When God’s people abandon their civic and cultural calling, others will always fill the void. If we are seeing true revival beginning around us, it will reform society from the inside out.

If you long for a bold Christianity that redeems culture, this conversation offers a roadmap.

Episode Summary: 

Whose will be the first voice your child hears about sex and identity, and will it be rooted in truth and beauty, fear and guilt, or cultural lies and deception? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz, founder of Foundation Worldview and author of Helping Your Kids Know God’s Good Design: 40 Questions and Answers on Sexuality and Gender, joins us to help practically equip parents to confidently disciple their kids in God’s good design for humanity, marriage, and sexuality.

Starting in Genesis 1–2, we explore how to build a biblical worldview of sex and gender that stands firm amid harmful worldviews that are aggressively pushed on those we love. Elizabeth offers practical scripts, early-age strategies, and gospel-centered hope for parents navigating tough topics like emotions, pornography, and transgender identity with conviction and compassion.

You’ll learn:

• How to start conversations around human sexuality with your young children 
• How to guide strong feelings through the Psalms
• How to prepare and protect against pornography
• How to address past sin with repentance and grace
• How to teach conviction without pride: recognize, remind, be kind

This episode is a field guide for raising children who know and love God’s design in a confused world.

Her program transforms children into thoughtful evaluators of ideas, shaping their media habits, academics, and faith. She now develops resources full-time to help the next generation become lifelong critical thinkers and disciples of Jesus Christ.

Episode Summary: 

Something surprising is happening in churches across the West: young men are coming back! Not for hype or entertainment, but for meaning, mission, belonging, and direction. Are our churches ready to meet this incredible moment?

In this episode, we’re joined by author and professor Dr. Nancy Pearcey to unpack the deeper ideas shaping this cultural “vibe shift.” Together, we explore why the church’s sacred-secular split has failed men's discipleship, how the manosphere fills the vacuum, and what it takes to move from momentary revival to lasting reformation!

We also trace how family formation sits at the heart of cultural renewal. From marriage and parenting to workplace rhythms that keep fathers present, we discuss practical ways to re-enthrone the family and recover a whole-life gospel that forms men and women as equal image bearers with distinct gifts.

If you’ve sensed the shift but wondered what to do next, this conversation maps a path toward renewal: dethrone the marketplace, re-enthrone marriage and the family, and rebuild culture from the home outward.

Episode Summary: 

Should the gospel transform African cultures, or are they perfect just the way they are? The gospel goes beyond “getting to heaven”; it has power to reshape societies. Pastor Dennis Desire of Beacon Life Church in Nairobi joins us to contrast cultural relativism with cultural reformation. We explore how a biblical worldview confronts animism in Africa and secularism in the West, while also recognizing and celebrating the beauty in each culture. Salvation is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of Kingdom discipleship that renews minds, dignifies work and relationships, and redeems culture.

From job readiness and small business training to addiction recovery and early childhood education, Dennis shares real stories of transformation in Kenya, where churches equip believers not just for Sunday but for Monday and beyond. We unpack what it means to redeem culture without erasing it—honoring Africa’s communal strength and worship while learning from the West’s systems and structures. The goal isn’t uniformity, but unity in diversity under Christ.

If you want to see faith shape everyday life and society, this episode will sharpen your vision for discipling nations.

Episode Summary: 

Softening truth to increase Christian cultural influence is simply quiet compromise. In this episode, Luke and Scott Allen discuss Tim Keller, Charlie Kirk, and the critical question: how should Christians actively engage a post-Christian culture without losing their convictions? They dive into the rise of “winsome third wayism” in evangelical circles—why it captured the imagination of Christian elites and why it has faltered when culture demanded moral clarity.

The hosts contrast cautious, approval-seeking engagement with a bolder model that speaks truth in love to every sphere—justice, freedom, sexuality, and policy—because all areas of culture matter to God and should be addressed from a biblical worldview. If you’ve wrestled with how to remain gracious without compromising clarity, this conversation points the way toward faithful, courageous cultural engagement.

Episode Summary: 

Freedom, tolerance, and human dignity only exist in Christian nations. In this episode, we dive into Tory (Conservative) Member of Parliament Danny Kruger’s viral speech on England’s Christian foundations, exploring the myth of public neutrality and the consequences of abandoning a moral anchor. From parish life and common law to the sanctity of life and public office, we trace how Christian ideas shaped institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong—and why leaving that framework vacant invites new “gods” to take their place.

We examine the moral vacuum Kruger identifies: the rise of secular ideologies, the growth of Islam in Britain, and the hybrid “woke” creed mixing pagan revivals, Christian heresies, and modernist power theories. Rather than caricatures, we look at what these forces do to families, schools, and civic trust, and why a politics of grievance cannot sustain a free society. Along the way, we wrestle with difficult issues—late-term abortion, assisted dying, and repentance in public life—while charting a path for Christians to reclaim moral authority in politics and culture.

From Alfred to Wesley to Wilberforce, history shows that revival can transform nations when the Church acts as the nation’s conscience. This conversation invites listeners to take ownership of the ideas, responsibilities, and institutions we inherit—and consider what it will take to restore freedom, truth, and hope for future generations.

Episode Summary: 

Here’s the full video: God’s Plan to Transform the World and How You Fit In

As followers of Jesus, what is our mission until He returns? As many see signs of revival in America, we’re exploring this central question. Personal salvation is foundational, but it’s not job done—it’s job begun.

In this episode, Scott, Tim, and Luke break down one of the Disciple Nations Alliance’s core training videos, God’s Plan to Transform the World and How You Fit In, showing how the tension between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness impacts every part of life. Once we are saved, what comes next? We stand firm against evil, lies, and ugliness, and cultivate God’s truth, goodness, and beauty in our lives, our homes, communities, and nations. 

This episode offers a compelling perspective on the Christian mission. Our faith isn’t just about personal salvation, but about working in God’s strength to bring healing and hope to a broken world.
