  • Abortion Up to Birth: Massachusetts Picks a God

    Massachusetts just signed a law erasing every gestational limit on abortion, becoming the tenth state in the country with no cutoff before birth. In this episode, Pastor Marc Little traces that decision back three thousand years to the worship of Moloch, the god who demanded a child in exchange for prosperity, and argues the exchange behind abortion has never actually changed, only its name has.

    Marc also walks through the documented history connecting the eugenics movement, Margaret Sanger's 1939 Negro Project, and the founding of Planned Parenthood to a campaign specifically aimed at reducing births in the black community, and shares what he has seen firsthand in years of post-abortion counseling ministry, including the reality of post-abortion stress syndrome. This is a legal, historical, and pastoral look at a law most of the country never heard was signed.

  • The Goddess of Gender Chaos: What Ishtar Has to Do with the WNBA

    WNBA transgender controversy, explained through a four thousand year old lens. Pastor, lawyer, and political commentator Marc Little breaks down the fight over biological men in women's sports, and traces it back to an ancient religious cult most people have never heard of.

    The debate over Sophie Cunningham's comments, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert's memo to teams, and Cheryl Reeve's stance on trans inclusion in women's basketball is not a new argument. Marc connects it to Ishtar and Inanna, the ancient Mesopotamian goddess whose temple priests blurred the line between male and female as an act of religious devotion, four thousand years before Title IX existed.

    You'll hear:

    • Who the assinnu, kurgarru, and gala were in the cult of Ishtar, and what the historical record actually supports
    • Why Enheduanna, history's earliest known named author, wrote about a goddess with power to turn a man into a woman
    • How this week's WNBA transgender athletes controversy exposed a real gap between the league's stated values and its own standards
    • Why Marc argues the fight over biological men in women's sports isn't just about sports, it's about created order
    • How Genesis 1 and Deuteronomy 22 frame a biblical response to what male and female actually are

    Marc Little is a pastor, lawyer, and political commentator known for a direct, scripture-rooted take on the culture war stories everyone else is arguing about. He doesn't treat the WNBA gender debate as a neutral policy question. He treats it as a fight over truth, worship, and what it means to be human.

    If you're following the transgender athletes in sports debate, the WNBA controversy, or you just want an episode that connects ancient history to this week's headlines, this one is for you.

  • The Orphan Spirit: Reconciled with Dad But Still Hungry for Home

    Many of us spend years chasing connection, validation, and even mending broken relationships, only to find an unshakable restlessness underneath. If you have ever felt a persistent ache, like something is still missing even after reconciliation, this episode names that ache. It is called the orphan spirit, a hidden wound carried by millions.

    Whether your father was absent, emotionally distant, or present but disconnected, that wound can stay buried for decades, quietly shaping your relationships, your sense of purpose, and your sense of belonging.

    In this episode, Pastor Marc Little unpacks the orphan spirit through three distinct doors: the father who was never in the home, the father who was physically present but emotionally checked out, and the father who loved but never learned to show it. Marc explains how these wounds create a hunger for affirmation and belonging that reconciliation alone often cannot satisfy, drawing on his own story of reconciling with his father later in life and discovering that reconciliation was not the same thing as healing.

    Marc turns to Scripture for the answer. The older brother in Luke 15. Jesus' promise in John 14:18 that He will not leave us as orphans. Paul's teaching in Ephesians 1 that our adoption as sons and daughters was predestined, not an afterthought. Healing from the orphan spirit is not about erasing the ache. It is about receiving a Father who was never waiting to be convinced to love you.

    If you are tired of surface-level fixes, or waiting on a reunion to finally settle the ache inside you, this conversation offers something different. You were never actually without a Father. Discover how to name the wound, understand the difference between father hunger and father wound, and find the healing that only comes from Abba Father.

  • Finding Peace in Uncertain Times: The Prayer That Has Never Failed You

    What do you do when the headlines keep piling up faster than your peace can hold? In this episode of The Marc Little Show, Pastor Marc Little unpacks what he calls "the prayer that has never failed you," starting with a real conversation he had with an elderly woman in a Texas corner store who was quietly carrying more than she could say out loud.

    Marc walks through Matthew 27:51 and the torn temple curtain, explaining why that single verse changes everything about how we approach God with our worry. He turns to 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and Luke 18:1 to challenge the idea that prayer is a last resort rather than a daily rhythm, then tells the story of Peter's prison escape in Acts 12 as proof that prayer reaches places we cannot. He's honest, too, about what prayer does not promise, using Jesus's anguished prayer before the crucifixion to show that peace doesn't always mean the crisis disappears. It means we're ready to walk into it.

    The episode closes with the story of King Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20:21, who sent worshippers ahead of his army into an unwinnable battle, and a challenge to trust God with the things we were never assigned to fix.

  • The Poison That Smells Good: Rap Lyrics, the First Amendment, and the Karmelo Anthony Case

    A Texas jury sent a 19-year-old to prison for 35 years. The music industry that sells the same violence in three-minute increments walks away with the royalty check. Pastor Marc Little asks the question nobody in the culture wants to sit with: why does the law treat a lyric about murder as protected art, and a moment of real rage as a life sentence?

    In this episode, Marc breaks down the Karmelo Anthony case, the fatal stabbing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas track meet, and the 35-year sentence a Collin County jury handed down in June 2026. He walks through what Texas self-defense law actually requires, why the "sudden passion" argument failed, and how that legal standard sits next to an entire music catalog built on glorifying contract killings, cartel violence, and casual harm to bystanders, with no courtroom in sight for the artists cashing the checks.

    This episode covers:

    • What Texas law requires to prove self-defense, and why Anthony's case didn't meet it
    • The First Amendment protection given to violent lyrics, and where courts have drawn the line on using an artist's own words against them in a prosecution
    • California's Decriminalizing Artistic Expression Act (AB 2799) and what it actually does, and doesn't, protect
    • Why an industry that profits from glorifying violence rarely answers for the violence it inspires
    • The danger of reframing a jury's verdict as racial injustice instead of confronting what happened in that courtroom

    Marc Little is a pastor, attorney, and political commentator, and the author of The Prodigal Republican: Faith and Politics (Westbow Press). He brings two decades of courtroom experience to a conversation most media outlets are afraid to have honestly.

    If you've watched this case in the headlines and wondered how the law can protect a lyric but not a life, this episode is for you.

  • Men: Changing in Community: The Arena for Transformation is on Display

    Most men believe honesty is a solo act, an internal battle they must win alone. But what if the path to true transformation requires more than private confession? Marc Little exposes a dangerous trap: getting honest with God in isolation, then stubbornly trying to fix everything solo. The real breakthrough, he argues, happens in community, where your honesty is tested and your growth is witnessed.

    In this compelling episode, you'll discover why honesty with yourself and God is only half the story. Marc breaks down the biblical truth from Psalms, Hebrews, and Ecclesiastes to show how God already knows your struggles, and how that knowledge should lead to vulnerability, not secrecy. You'll learn the critical difference between admirers and peers and why surrounding yourself with men who can truly see and challenge you is the secret to sustained change.

    Perfect for men tired of doing the hard work alone, this episode reveals how transformation isn’t just about willpower but about stepping into authentic accountability. You'll walk away with practical insights on building real brotherhood that withstands the tests of pride, pride, pride, and silence. If you're ready to get honest, get connected, and truly change. This is your call to action. This episode is a must-listen for any man eager to break free from isolation and experience true growth through community. The journey to renewal and becoming more like Christ begins with vulnerability, and it’s waiting for you, today.

  • Real Name vs. Username: The Mantle You Already Have

    Most of us spend years chasing titles, followers, and numbers, thinking they define who we are, only to end up feeling unfulfilled. In this episode of The Marc Little Show, Pastor Marc Little breaks down the real difference between a scoreboard and a mantle, using the story of Elijah and Elisha to show how authentic authority gets proven through action, not possession.

    Whether you have inherited a social media following or climbed a career ladder for years, this conversation will challenge how you define success. Pastor Marc shares personal stories, including surviving a life altering shooting and stepping into community work that changed lives, to illustrate a simple truth: the mantle is given, not earned, and it is waiting for you to pick it up.

    In this episode, you will learn why titles and numbers never satisfy our deepest need for purpose, what the biblical symbolism of clothing and garments reveals about calling and authority, how to identify your true mantle, and why using your gifts proves their legitimacy far more than applause ever could.

    This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, overlooked, or like they are chasing something that leaves them empty in the end. Your purpose is not something you earn. It is something you already wear. The only question left is whether you will step into it.

  • 250 Years and Still Fighting Over God: Faith, Freedom, and the Soul of America at 250

    America turns 250 this week. And while most Americans are ready to celebrate, a growing chorus of voices, prominent ones, Black ones, is telling the country that this anniversary does not belong to everyone. That the founding was fraudulent. That the flag is a symbol of exclusion, not freedom.

    I reject that. And in this episode, I dismantle it.

    This is not a blind defense of American history. Slavery happened. Jim Crow happened. The stains are real and documented. But a nation is not defined by its worst chapter. It is defined by the direction it travels when it confronts that chapter. And for 250 years, America has traveled in the right direction, imperfectly, painfully, and at enormous cost.

    The left has weaponized Frederick Douglass to make their case. They quote his 1852 speech, "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?", and stop before he calls the Constitution a "Glorious Liberty Document." They stop before he says, "I do not despair of this country." They stop before he goes on to serve as U.S. Marshal, U.S. Minister to Haiti, and advisor to presidents. I am reclaiming Douglass from the narrative that has hijacked him.

    The Declaration of Independence is not a white document. It is a theological one. "Endowed by their Creator" is not political language dressed up in faith. It is the most powerful argument for human equality ever written into a founding charter. The Black church understood that before almost anyone. The abolitionist movement was a faith movement. The Civil Rights movement was a theological movement that used political tools. Those leaders did not burn America down. They held her accountable to her own promises.

    In 1993, my wife and I sat across from each other and asked ourselves a question: why are we voting Democrat? We went back to first principles. Our biblical worldview lined up squarely with the conservative movement and the Republican Party. And it never once occurred to me, not once, to question whether I should be proud to be an American.

    Because I have eyes. I can see people from every nation crossing deserts and oceans to reach this country. People do not risk their lives to reach a white man's country. They risk their lives to reach a free one.

    This episode is for patriots, believers, conservatives, and anyone asking whether the America they love still stands for something worth defending. The answer is yes. And the argument starts here.

  • Socialism Claimed Millions: Now It's Coming for America

    In this episode of The Marc Little Show, Marc Little takes a hard look at socialism, what it is, why it’s gaining ground, and what history says happens when governments take control of the economy, culture, and daily life. From Venezuela and Cuba to the Soviet Union, North Korea, and Zimbabwe, Marc argues that socialism consistently concentrates power, erodes freedom, and leaves ordinary people paying the price.

    He also tackles one of the biggest arguments in the debate: whether the Bible supports socialism. Drawing from Acts, Second Thessalonians, and broader Scripture, Marc explains why the early church’s voluntary generosity is not the same as government redistribution, and why the church has a responsibility to lead with truth, stewardship, and action.

    If you’re searching for a Christian perspective on socialism, a conservative take on government control, or a biblical response to economic justice debates, this episode delivers a direct, urgent warning. Marc closes with a call for the church to speak up, serve the vulnerable, and resist political ideologies that trade freedom for power.
