Democratic socialism is on the rise both in America and in the West in general. But what exactly is democratic socialism and why is it so attractive to so many people, particularly young people, today? Listen as Darrell Harrison and Virgil "Omaha" Walker exposit the core tenets of democratic socialism and discuss through the lens of the Word of God why democratic socialism is more than a dangerous economic theory but is actually worse, it is a false gospel offering a false salvation.

The Puritan Ezekiel Hopkins (1634-1692) said, "We must learn that the glory of God is to be preferred before all other things.” It is in keeping with those words from Ezekiel Hopkins that Darrell Harrison and Virgil "Omaha" Walker have endeavored to address the almost ineffable topic of The Majesty of God. True to the expositional tradition of the Just Thinking podcast, Darrell and Virgil look to Scripture, as well as trusted Puritan and contemporary theologians, to remind followers of Jesus Christ of God's incomparable majesty and, as Ezekiel Hopkins rightly stated, that the glory of the God in whom they profess to believe is to be preferred above all other things.

There are victims and then there is victimhood. Whereas the former may refer to one's lived experience, the latter refers to one's core identity. As a culture, victimhood has become a commodity, a means of exchange toward a life of ease and comfort at the expense of others. In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, cohosts Darrell Harrison and Virgil "Omaha" Walker discuss what Scripture teaches concerning the tenets of victimhood culture and how we, as Christians, are to respond in light of the Gospel.

In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker provide one of the most comprehensive expositions of the history and purpose of public schools you will hear anywhere. Public education was never about education—it was always about indoctrination. Schools don’t merely teach facts; they shape souls. And today, they're molding the children of Christian parents into the image of progressive ideology, not Christ. Parents, ask yourself: Who’s really discipling your kids?

The Church is under relentless attack from the culture. That reality should not be surprising to believers in Christ. But how should professing Christians respond biblically to those spiritual, theological, ideological, and philosophical attacks? In this 'freestyle' episode, Darrell and Virgil discuss some of the ways the culture, or what Jesus refers to in John 17:9 as "the world," aims to undermine the gospel and how we can respond to those attacks with the truth.

Sanctification is among the most important yet least-talked about doctrines in evangelicalism today. Why? In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, Darrell Harrison and Virgil (Omaha) Walker will discuss that topic, looking to what Scripture has to say about what sanctification is, why sanctification matters, how sanctification is accomplished, what sanctification looks like, and what are some hindrances to sanctification in the life of a Christian.

It is a question that seemingly arises during every presidential election cycle: For which candidate should a Christian vote? In 2024, the choice is between sitting Vice President of the United States Kamala Devi Harris and former President of the United States Donald John Trump, each of whose respective platforms, particularly on issues such as abortion, fail to align with a biblical worldview. Given that unfortunate reality, how is a believer in Christ to vote? In this "freestyle" episode, Darrell and Virgil help provide biblical guidance to believers who are attempting to discerningly answer that question for themselves.
