Right Response Podcast

Most of us grew up on Left Behind, Hal Lindsey, and the fear of being the one “left” in the field. But what do the passages actually say? In this episode, we steelman the pre-trib Rapture view using its strongest texts: 1 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 3, and Matthew 24. Then we walk through how the historic Reformed church read those same passages.

The surprise? In Matthew 24, you don’t want to be taken. Revelation was written about things “soon to take place.” And 1 Thessalonians 4 is a word of comfort for the grieving, not a timeline for the end of the world.

Christ isn’t evacuating His church. He’s ruling, and His kingdom is advancing.

📖 1 Thess. 4:16–17

Why did God choose Israel? Not because they were faithful, great, or pure. In the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, Jesus shows Israel’s long history of rejecting the prophets and, finally, the Son. Joel argues that God chose the most stiff-necked people to show the full extent of His grace.

We also take on the “third way” teaching that unbelieving Jews still hold some covenant standing with God apart from Christ. Scripture leaves only two options: in Adam or in Christ, Jew and Gentile alike, by faith alone.

📖 Matthew 21:33-46 | Isaiah 5:7 | Deuteronomy 7 | Jeremiah 7:26

What does Paul mean when he says a woman “will be saved through childbearing”? Egalitarians say the verse is only about the birth of Christ. Conservatives like John Piper and Denny Burk soften it into physical safety or general homemaking. We argue both stop short of what the text actually says.

Starting from Psalms 127 and 128, we walk through the creation mandate, the blessing of children, and Paul’s command in 1 Timothy 2:15. We show how it fits James’ teaching that true saving faith is never alone. Then we take on the growing trend of pitting Paul against Jesus, and the misuse of 1 Corinthians 1 to shield false teachers from criticism. Finally we ask an uncomfortable question: why is children the only blessing from God we work to limit?

Women Who Refuse To Have Children Go To Hell | 1 Timothy 2:15

In Part 2, Pastor Joel Webbon, Wesley Todd, and Antonio Griffith go on offense. They argue that a Christianity which only changes the afterlife and never a people’s culture, health, or civilization isn’t humility. It’s Gnosticism.

Is race just a social construct, or a biblical category?

In Part 1 of this series, Pastor Joel Webbon, Wesley Todd, and Antonio Griffith open Genesis 10 and the Table of Nations. They argue that race has both a biological and a spiritual dimension, and that this is a view Christians held for centuries until very recently.

In this episode:

Romans 9 and Paul’s “kinsmen according to the flesh”: what it means for how Christians see their own ancestry
Culture, nation, race, species: a framework for words your Bible already uses
Noah’s three sons and how the nations spread and diverged
Why creationists already accept the adaptation argument, and the double standard in rejecting it here

Shane Gillis said what everyone at the gym already knows, and the internet lost its mind.

We break down the SNL joke that has everyone talking. Then we go further: why male spaces keep disappearing, how co-ed everything got us here, what the Cornell case says about consent without a framework, and why chivalry has no female equivalent. Gym culture, Nancy Mace, C.S. Lewis, and a case for bringing back freedom of association.

One of our favorite episodes from the archive. If you’re new, or skipped this one the first time, start here.

Piety is devotion bounded by duty. Pietism is holiness used as an excuse to abandon your post. From the Thirty Years’ War to Piper to Radical, we break down how evangelicals turned faith inward, and why men returning to ambition can’t leave piety behind.

Every covenant is sealed in blood, from Eden to Abraham to Calvary. Why has Christianity been the bloody religion for six millennia, and why is that the best news in the world? Shadows, substance, and the only sacrifice that was ever enough.

Jeremy Boreing says critics of Israel want to eradicate Jews. We say: name one. We respond to Boreing's latest episode, call out the "have your cake and eat it too" problem with modern Zionism, and argue that the real debate on the right is about American tax dollars and equal standards, not erasing anyone.
