    Tonight I was on WURD out of Philadelphia, PA speaking with Dr. James Peterson. We discussed the Surrounded video of Mehdi Hasan versus the so-called far-right conservatives that turned out to be fascists. While this is a serious matter, I couldn't help be mock these incels. Here's why.

    The Fight Starts Here:

    I’m not the same person I was when you last heard from me on a consistent basis. I’ve been away, not out of apathy, but because I’ve been growing, studying, lamenting, rebuilding—and finding my center. I’ve spent that time preparing, and now, I’m coming back with a plan, a purpose, and a clarity I didn’t have before. This episode lays out the foundation for everything that comes next. I’m introducing a new, methodical cycle—a rotation of the most urgent and interconnected issues of our time:
    • Gaza and the global fight against genocide
    • The rise of fascism in America
    • White supremacy and systemic racism
    • Failures and complicity within the Democratic Party
    • Nuances within the Black community
    • Why Christianity and capitalism are fundamentally incompatible
    Each topic will be revisited regularly. This is not headline-chasing. This is strategic, educational, and mobilizing work—meant to build a body of knowledge that equips us for the fight ahead. I also want to be clear about this shift: I’m leading more publicly with my faith now—not as a means of exclusion, but because it’s the source of my clarity and conviction.

    That said, this space has always been and will always remain rooted in unity—centered around The People of Good Faith. That means you—whether you’re Christian, atheist, Muslim, agnostic, Jewish, spiritual, or none of the above. If you yield to truth, if you are committed to justice, if you’re willing to confront inconvenient facts for the sake of collective liberation—then you are welcome here. You are needed here.

    I talk in this episode about why I’m moving to daily audio, how social media algorithms have suppressed this work, and why I’m no longer waiting for perfection to speak truth. I ask you—if you've ever stood with me—to show up again. Share this episode. Commit to listening. Reconnect. 

    Because the best of what’s coming won’t be possible without you. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a strategy. A community. A movement. And it starts now.

  • 07-07-25 | Black Seniors, Misleadership & Progress: Clyburn, Jeffries vs Mamdani—w/ Margaret Kimberley
    Support the Benjamin Dixon Show: http://Patreon.com/thebpdshow

    As the threat of MAGA fascism grows, the Democratic establishment’s Black elders and seniors—like James Clyburn and Hakeem Jeffries—continue to side with the status quo, even when it means blocking progressive change and working alongside Republicans. This episode, Benjamin Dixon is joined by Margaret Kimberley of Black Agenda Report to break down the generational divide within Black politics, call out the Congressional Black Caucus, and spotlight the fight for real progress in New York, where Zohran Mamdani stands as a true alternative. It’s an honest, urgent look at why Black leadership must do more than simply survive—they must fight for the future. Become a patron!

  • How Do I Tell My MAGA Brother the Truth Without Starting a Family War? | Hey, Pastor Ben!
    A Southern Baptist viewer writes to Pastor Ben with a heartbreaking question: How do you speak up about racism, immigration, and Christian hypocrisy when your own brother is deep into MAGA politics? In this episode of Hey Pastor Ben, we explore what it means to tell the truth without destroying your relationships — and how to hold your ground without losing your soul. If you've ever felt outnumbered at the family table or afraid to speak what you believe, this one’s for you.

  • Are Christians Required by God to Support Israel — Even in Gaza and Iran?
    This episode began with an honest question from a white evangelical Christian — a former Trump voter who reached out through the Hey Pastor Ben email series. He asked:
    “Is it really required for Christians to support Israel no matter what they do? Or is there room for us to question — and still be faithful?”

    That question has shaped the theology of millions, influenced foreign policy, funded war, and been used to claim that God demands allegiance to a government in order to give His blessing. The verse often quoted is Genesis 12:3: “I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you.”

    But what does that actually mean today — and who does it apply to? In this episode, we walk through 12 of the most urgent questions Christians are asking right now — questions about scripture, Zionism, blessing, ancestry, covenant, empire, prophecy, and what it actually means to follow Jesus when injustice is unfolding in real time.

    Questions like:
    — Is the State of Israel a fulfillment of prophecy — or a product of politics?
    — Who is actually closer to Abraham: those in power, or those being occupied?
    — Is opposing Zionism the same as opposing Jews?
    — What does it really mean to “bless Israel”?
    — And if our faith can’t tell the difference between justice and domination — is it still following Christ? This isn’t about picking sides. It’s about telling the truth.
    And it ends with a prayer that may offend you — unless you’ve already begun to see the gospel more clearly. To ask your own question, email me at [email protected].
    I’m listening. And I’ll tell you the truth.

    While Los Angeles burns, these billionaires are draining 150 BILLION GALLONS of water every year to keep their farming empire running—and guess who’s out here defending them? @AnaKasparian . Yeah, the same Ana who stays attacking LA’s unhoused community instead of calling out the real villains. Some progressive she is. ANA HAD A MELTDOWN WHEN I CALLED HER OUT. It’s time to ask the hard questions: Are billionaires a cancer on humanity? And why are "progressives" like Ana protecting billionaires while blaming the most vulnerable? We’re breaking it all down tomorrow at 10 AM EST—only on YouTube. Set your reminder. This one’s gonna get real. #BenjaminDixonShow #WaterCrisis #LAUnhoused #BillionaireAccountability #CallThemOut
