It looks like faith. It sounds like hope. But what if this common theology celebrated in the church is something else entirely? It promises health, wealth, and happiness—but offers a counterfeit gospel that dethrones Christ. Join us as we trace the history of this movement, expose its modern preachers, and open Scripture to see why this ideology is more antichrist than Christian.

In this episode, we dive into two topics making their rounds on the internet: the continued conversation around Charlie Kirk and the failed rapture prophecy proclaimed by Brother Joshua for September 23–24, 2025. We explore Kirk’s lasting impact, the ripple effects of his death on churches across the nation, and how fear, faith, and false hope collide when apocalyptic predictions don’t come true. This conversation is raw, thoughtful, and pressing for anyone wrestling with truth in turbulent times.

The nation is reeling from the tragic and brutal assasination of conservative author and political activist Charlie Kirk. It's no surprise that he was a very outspoken and polarizing figure. Kirk spent much of his time on college campuses debating the ideologies and worldviews that have captured today's youth. But this moment is much bigger than Kirk's death. It actually pulls back the curtain on something deeper and sinister that social media influencers and news media aren't talking about.

Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world, with deep historical, cultural, and spiritual influence. But what does Islam actually teach? How does it differ from Christianity? And why should Christians pay attention to its rapid global rise?

In this episode, we walk through the basic beliefs of Islam—its view of God, prophets, Scripture, and salvation—while also discussing the key theological differences that set it apart from Christianity. We’ll also share concerns about its growing popularity and how followers of Jesus can respond with both truth and love.

Whether you’re curious, cautious, or just want to be better equipped, this episode will help you understand Islam and think biblically about engaging with Muslims in today’s world.

Today we tackle a long-standing theological debate. During communion, what happens to the elements? Do they change their substance, becoming the literal body and blood of Jesus? Or are these symbols in which we call to remembrance the sacrificial death of Jesus?
