  • Hollywood Markets Explicit Content to Children | True Worldview Ep. 41

    Here's more poisoned fruit produced by a culture that's rejected the true worldview. "Over the course of the last few years, there has been a 'dramatic change' in Hollywood. According to the Parents Television Council, it's been a very 'dangerous turn.' 'Instead of children just being collateral damage in the way of whatever explicit content they want to deliver to adults, Hollywood now seems to be directly marketing some of the most explicit stuff to children'. . . Such shows . . . include HBO's 'Euphoria,' which focuses on a drug-addicted teenager; Hulu's 'PEN15'; and Netflix's shows 'Sex Education' and 'Big Mouth.' These are shows that are overtly teen-targeted and are very troubling, very pornographic, very toxic in nature," PTC said. Interestingly, PTC also noted the "FCC publicly confirmed what the PTC has been saying for years about the TV content rating system and its inaccuracies, inconsistencies and lack of oversight in really serving the needs of parents as opposed to protecting the financial interests of Hollywood."

  • What Does "Render to Caesar That Which is Caesar's" Mean? | True Worldiew Ep. 40

    Yet another oft misunderstood text is, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's" (Lk. 20:25). Most assume that Jesus means there are some things that belong to Caesar, or the government, and other things that belong to God. But that's not what Jesus means at all. Listen in as Christi and Paul discuss what it really means.

  • The Profanation of Our Culture: Clapbacks, Foul Language, and Immorality | True Worldview Ep. 39

    Josh Brolin, The Avengers actor, recently made your typical modern clap back to a perceived troll on one of his Instagram photos. This so-called news story led Christi and Paul to discuss the larger issue of the profanation of our culture in news, media, and even in the church.

    In today's multimedia culture, one might comment on something and find themselves on the wrong end of a fight. People are quick to clap back, and it becomes news. No matter who said what, no matter how irrelevant, it's a news flash, and the clap back is usually hate-filled and foul. That's one example, but such is the state of our so-called civil society. The foul, the profane, the abuse, the invective is everywhere.

    How should Christians respond not just to profanity but to cancel culture, aggression, the increasing immorality, and other issues in our world today? Join Christi and Paul as they talk about the profanation of our culture.

  • Religious Freedom | True Worldview Ep. 34

    From Christian Today: "The US Education Department is sending out memos to school leaders telling them that they cannot block students or teachers from praying in public. The plans were revealed on the same day as President Donald Trump welcomed to the Oval Office a group of Christian, Jewish and Muslim students who have experienced discrimination in schools. They met the US President to mark National Religious Freedom Day on Thursday."

    Listen in as Christi and Paul discuss religious freedom and its implications and how Christians should think about this move from President Trump's administration.
