Kingdom Culture Conversations

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!

Does God change His mind?  Believe it or not, there are scriptures that seem to suggest that He does!

Consider Jonah 3:10 in which God "relented".

Or, consider Genesis 6:6-7 in which we are told that God "regretted" making man.

These verses have given rise to a school of thinking that attempts to balance the free will of man against the omniscience or foreknowledge of God:  Open Theism.

Some call it enlightened orthodoxy.  Some call it heresy.

In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, we'll enjoy a vigorous discussion that will equip you to make your own decision!

What is this Kingdom Culture Conversation podcast tradition, " 'What About?' Wednesday"?   Every-other-Wednesday, we are joined by Robby Lashua, of Stand to Reason Ministries, an apologetics ministry based in Southern California.

Robby's role within these special "What About?" Wednesday episodes?  Podcast listeners have the opportunity to email/text in their own "What About?" questions and during these episodes, Robby will work to answer the questions, point students towards the scriptural truth underlying their inquiry, and equip them to defend their faith!

We started our conversation with John Beckett thinking that Summit Ministries' "Worldview Chart" would be a perfect starting point to compare his chosen religious path, Paganism and Druidry, with Biblical worldview.

"This isn't going to work," he said.  "It's too simplistic."  Boy, was he right!

In today's "Worldview Contrasts" episode of Kingdom Culture Conversations, we meet Beckett, a practicing and accomplished polytheistic Pagan and Druid.   Within minutes of starting our wonderfully congenial conversation, it becomes apparent that, perhaps and arguably just like Christianity, Paganism is a very diverse tradition.  And, yes, a simple chart may not be enough to capture the scope of that diversity. 

It's going to take a powerfully impactful Kingdom Culture Conversation...

"It's not the years.  It's the miles."  -- Indiana Jones

Indy's witty quote might very well be applicable to recording wunderkind Alex Overall.  At the ripe-old-age of twenty-years-old, Overall had a hand in the production of one of the top conservative talk radio shows in the country--in what was probably the most hostile environment (Seattle) during a very turbulent time (Covid).

The stories he could tell!

And, stories he does tell today on Kingdom Culture Conversations as Alex reflects back upon his adventures in talk radio.  He asks the question, "Can Talk Radio and Podocasting save American or advance Biblical Worldview?"

Get ready for a very, very interesting and insightful conversation!

Produced by Dallas Jenkins, the Jesus-centered web-based, episodic program "The Chosen" premiered in April 2019 and became the largest crowdfunding media project in history. More than 16,000 people contributed over $10 million to the production for its first season.

And the culture's appetite for the program has only grown  since then.

Twice "The Chosen" has premiered new episodes in movie theaters:  Fathom Event’s top two best-selling events have come from The Chosen with ‘Christmas with The Chosen: The Messengers’ grossing over $13.5 million in 2021 and ‘The Chosen Season 3 episodes 1 & 2’ grossing over $14 million, placing second in gross box office on the Friday of its opening weekend,  Further, when Season 3's episodes 1 & 2 ticket sales went live, the overwhelming demand crashed the Fathom Events website.

Today's Kingdom Culture Conversations--a "What About? Wednesday episode featuring nationally-recognized apologist Robby Lashua--finds the KCC team asking fundamental questions about the viral video phenomenon.  Why is this series so popular?  Is the theology sound?  What do we make of the rumors that funding for the program has come from the Mormon church?

When we talk about YouTube, the second most frequented website in the world, we have to use the word "Billions".  Not "Millions".  "Billions". 

Billions of viewers.  Billions of videos.  Billions of dollars paid in by advertisers.  Billions of dollars paid out to content producers. 

Today, in a riveting conversation with Alex Overall, the Media Specialist for Frameworks and Northwest Christian School Online, we take a deep dive into these numbers but we also take a look forward and assess the top nine trends on YouTube and discuss their potential impact--good and bad--on culture, considered in the light of Biblical worldview.

Scott Hord started his career in youth ministry.  Serving as a pastor in the Pacific Northwest, he worked for years with junior high and senior high school students.  But, somewhere along the way, his care and concern for the wellbeing of students led him down a hard path.  For the last fifteen years, he's worked within Christian Family Care, a foster care agency, licensed in the state of Arizona.  In that time, he's seen a lot, learned a lot.

Now, he's committed to taking the things that he's learned  and experienced and putting handles on those lessons.  He's leading the charge to commit a vast amount of parental training on a new online portal for parents--whether they are invested in foster care or not.

Today, in the second part of a two-part conversation with Scott, you will hear his story and wrestle with some of the cold hard facts of child abuse and neglect.  But, you will also learn about Family Care Learning and the road that leads from ruin, through reconciliation, to restoration.
