Are we making an idol out of AI? Are we allowing machines to do our thinking for us? Have we given up the mandate to “be fruitful” and exchanged it for ease, speed and convenience? Doug Smith, a former software designer for some of the biggest companies in the world, joins us to challenge the almost too quick embrace of AI technology without considering what it will cost us.

In a world where revolutions often replace one form of tyranny with another, the American Revolution stands apart. Why? Lawrence W. Reed joins us today to reveal that America’s founding was not merely the result of war, but of a profound transformation in thought―an extraordinary revolution of ideas rooted in liberty, personal responsibility, faith, and moral courage. Lawrence will take us from the Mayflower Compact to the struggles of the Revolutionary era to illuminate the principles that made America unique―and that remain essential today.

What do you do when God gives you news you never wanted? And what can churches learn when a respected ministry collapses? Todd looks at trusting God through suffering, the fallout from G3 Ministries, and how churches can pursue accountability without overreacting.

Segment 1

• Phil Johnson’s cancer has returned—and the prognosis isn’t what anyone hoped to hear.

• How should Christians respond when God gives us circumstances we desperately wish He would change?

• What does it actually look like to trust that God is good even when His plans aren’t ours?

Segment 2

• Phil Johnson once argued that evangelical Christianity may be in even greater need of Reformation than the church was in Luther’s day.

• Could a modern-day Reformation even happen in a culture flooded with Christian influencers and competing voices?

• Todd examines troubling anti-Semitism within some corners of Christian nationalism—and why forgetting history can have dangerous consequences.

Segment 3

• G3 Ministries is gone after another controversy—but Todd believes an innocent pastor’s reputation was unfairly damaged along the way.

• When does legitimate concern cross the line into publicly besmirching a brother?

• What can Christians learn from accusations that Todd says never should have escalated the way they did?

Segment 4

• After another ministry scandal, what can your church actually do to keep its leaders accountable?

• Should pastors have additional safeguards, regular reviews, and greater transparency—or can accountability measures go too far?

• Why no policy or system can completely protect a church when someone is determined to deceive.

Anna Vaughn was excited to begin a new chapter of her life - working in a new job running a ministry’s internship program at just 19. Unfortunately, what ensued was several years of major spiritual abuse from the leadership of this church - an experience that has led her to where she is today: healed, whole, and transparent. Anna is now the founder of Stirred Up Ministries and the author of Caught in the Crossfire, a book that exposes spiritual abuse by recounting not just her experience, but also the experiences of others who have experienced the same abuse. Unforgiveness and bitterness hold us in bondage, but not the person who has hurt us, she shares. Anna is a testament to what it looks like to expose toxic leadership without being burdened by anger.

TAKEAWAYS

Unforgiveness does more damage to ourselves than anyone else

Spiritual abuse signs may look like: fear, intimidation, and isolation

Sometimes very charismatic leaders hide their red flags really well, but that shouldn’t stop us from exposing the abuse

Spiritual abuse often goes hand-in-hand with a cult-like culture at church
