  • A Nation on the Edge: The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion and Charlie Kirk

    This episode reflects on the assassination of Charlie Kirk and uses Yuri Bezmenov’s four stages of ideological subversion—demoralization, destabilization, crisis, and normalization—to explain where the nation stands and what may come next.

    It urges Christians to pray for Kirk’s family and the country, to expose and call out agendas, to avoid provocation, and to act faithfully and wisely in public life and at church.

    We have a God-given responsibility to react in a godly manner.

  • Was the Early Church Roman Catholic?

    In this episode, we address the rising interest among young people in traditional churches, focusing on a popular Roman Catholic video that claims the early church was entirely Catholic.

    We analyze the dialogue between Protestants and Catholics, particularly concerning interpretations of scripture and the authority of early church figures. This episode questions whether historical interpretations should be seen as infallible and explores how early church beliefs compare to modern Protestant views, particularly in areas like the Eucharist and church hierarchy.

    Is Jesus a created being, or is He indeed truly God and truly man?
