AI is here—it’s reshaping how we see ourselves and our place in the world. In this episode, we use a biblical lens to wrestle with big questions raised by AI. What worldviews are shaping its development? How might it impact our relationship with God, others, ourselves, and even creation?

AI brings both promise and concern—offering breakthroughs in almost every industry while also challenging creativity, work, and human connection. Rather than reacting with fear or blind optimism, let's explore together how to think critically about AI and its role in our lives. How can we approach this new reality with discernment and faith?

From the rise of AI to movements like Black Lives Matter, and whatever the next big issue will be, Christians face a world filled with compelling but deceptive narratives and trends. We believe this is a major weakness in the Church today—but it doesn't have to be. Christians must develop a comprehensive biblical worldview to navigate the pressing issues of our time with wisdom and conviction.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why we must look beyond surface-level branding to uncover deeper worldview assumptions
• The importance of examining a movement’s fruit and the beliefs of its founders
• The reality that good and evil run through every human heart—not between groups
• How modern ideologies often strip people of personal agency and responsibility
• The need for Christians to ask deeper questions about cultural norms and practices
• How cultural definitions of words often differ from biblical meanings
• Why critical thinking requires evaluating the worldview behind policies and movements
• The truth that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it speaks to every area of life and culture

As we see from Genesis to Revelation, God deeply loves the nations, and His overarching plan throughout history involves them. But how does that shape our understanding of immigration today? Join us as we explore the intricate relationship between nations and immigration, tackling the mass migration trends shaping our present moment and the foundations behind God’s heart to bless the nations.

We examine God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12 as a springboard for the discussion, “and all nations on earth will be blessed through you,” pointing out the parallels to the Great Commission entrusted to each of us in the New Testament. Looking at the historical contrast between nations and empires, we ask: Should Christians support deportation? How do we balance love for immigrants with the responsibility to maintain order? In a culture that often conflates compassion with open borders, we explore what it means to uphold both biblical justice and mercy.

Through Scripture, history, personal anecdotes, and practical insights, we encourage listeners to thoughtfully engage with immigration in a way that blesses their nation and honors God’s design.

Main Topics:

• God’s Heart for the Nations – How Scripture frames our understanding of national identity and immigration.
• Babel, Globalization, and Borders – What the Bible teaches about the integrity of nations.
• Justice, Mercy, and Order – A balanced and nuanced Christian approach to immigration policy.

Are we in a uniquely pivotal moment for Christians to shape culture? As interest in the Bible and openness to Christianity seem to be on the rise, believers might have a unique window of opportunity to disciple the nations. But how should we approach this exciting challenge?

Today, we sit down with well-known author, speaker, and podcaster, Alisa Childers to go over the three predominant approaches to Christian cultural engagement, as outlined by theologian Owen Strachan in his clarifying article, “One ‘Holy Nation’ in Christ: Christian Nationalism in Historical and Theological Perspective.” You’ll hear us wrestle with each approach’s pitfalls. Could there be another way? Hear Alisa share her perspective on whether a “fourth way” exists—one that remains faithful to Scripture while effectively influencing society as a whole.

Join us for a thought-provoking and relevant discussion on faith, culture, and the role of Christians in our exciting contemporary moment.

There is nothing in this life that can cause a Christian to lose hope. Why? Because we follow the Author of history—His-story—the God of eucatastrophe.

Eucatastrophe, a term coined by renowned author J.R.R. Tolkien, describes the powerful theme throughout Scripture where stories of seeming catastrophe suddenly take a dramatic turn for good at the last possible moment.

In this episode, Scott, Dwight, and Luke explore how understanding eucatastrophe can transform a Christian's perspective on hope, faith, tribulation, and suffering. Join them as they unpack this profound concept through Scripture, literature, and its relevance in today’s challenges, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, God is the author of the redemptive story.

Should Christians engage in politics? Of course, but how? In this episode, Richard Nelson, author of Christianity and Politics and President of The Commonwealth Policy Center, tackles this critical question. Historically and still today, Christians often fall into one of three inappropriate approaches to political engagement: they avoid politics as irrelevant to “more important” spiritual matters; strive for neutrality by avoiding alignment with any party or candidate; or they focus solely on allegiance to Jesus as King, seeking to ignore earthly government and rulers. 

Richard eloquently challenges these views, emphasizing how God's sovereignty extends to politics and culture. He highlights a biblical approach to issues like free speech, the sanctity of life, religious freedom, and fiscal responsibility. Like it or not, the Bible is deeply political, and its principles should guide all public engagement.
