In this episode of Trueology, we’re joined by Ian Huyett, Associate Director and Head of Litigation at Cornerstone, to examine the growing tensions surrounding free speech, religious liberty, and Christian engagement in the public square. Together, we explore real legal battles facing pastors, churches, and everyday believers who are pressured to remain silent or compromise biblical conviction.Ian shares firsthand insight into Cornerstone’s work defending Christians against government overreach, institutional hostility, and so-called “neutral” policies that often function to marginalize faith. We also discuss why the Northeast presents unique challenges for believers, how legal intimidation fuels self-censorship, and why faithful Christian witness requires courage, clarity, and public engagement rather than retreat.This conversation is both a warning and an encouragement—calling Christians to think carefully about their rights, stand firm in truth, and remain unapologetically faithful in an increasingly hostile cultural moment.

Most conversations about Calvinism and determinism fall apart before they even start. People hear the words “God determines all things,” and immediately picture puppets, robots, or a God who bulldozes human choice. But what if the real confusion isn’t the doctrine… but the categories we use to think about it?

That’s exactly what this new podcast episode is unpacking.

In this episode, we tackle the biggest questions people carry but rarely voice:• How can my choices be real if God determines everything?• What does freedom even mean in a world upheld by God’s power?• If determinism is true, is responsibility still meaningful?• Does Scripture actually teach this, or is it philosophical overreach?

Instead of clichés and quick answers, this episode walks through the logic, the Scripture, and the underlying assumptions that usually go unchallenged. You’ll see why determinism isn’t fatalistic, why it doesn’t flatten human identity, and why a God who sustains every moment actually makes sense of the freedom we experience—not less, but more.

If you’ve ever struggled with this doctrine, doubted it, argued against it, or felt like it makes God “too controlling,” this episode will give you clarity that most churches never attempt to offer. And if you’re a skeptic? You’re exactly who this conversation is for. No panic. No defensiveness. No caricatures. Just clear thinking, honest theology, and categories big enough for the God of Scripture.

In this episode of TRUEOLOGY, we trace the tangled roots of modern liberalism—from the radical social engineering of Margaret Sanger and the ideological poison of 20th-century communism, to the moral and cultural decay shaping today’s West. We explore how these movements, under the banner of “progress,” dismantled moral order, eroded the family, and replaced truth with personal autonomy.

Yet, amidst the cultural collapse, there remains a foundation that has not been destroyed—the Western heritage built on biblical truth. This episode reminds us that our civilization’s strength was never in political power or cultural dominance, but in the transforming gospel of Jesus Christ.

Join us as we uncover how the West got here, why liberalism continues to shape the modern mind, and how the church can respond—not with despair, but with confidence, conviction, and hope in the kingdom that cannot be shaken.

In this episode of the TRUEOLOGY, we sit down with Pastor Kendall Lankford, host of The Prodcast, to tackle one of the most misunderstood and debated topics in Christian theology: the End Times. Together, we dig into the heart of postmillennialism and preterism, offering a clear, biblical alternative to the confusion caused by popular end-times speculation. We begin by laying out the foundations for eschatology—why our view of the future matters, how Scripture shapes it, and why a solid grasp of biblical prophecy strengthens the faith of modern Christians. From there, we turn to Matthew 24, one of the most contested passages in the Bible. Pastor Lankford helps us see the text in its historical and covenantal context, exposing how it has been misused and distorted by dispensationalist and futurist readings. The conversation emphasizes that postmillennialism and preterism together form the only faithful, scriptural approach to understanding eschatology. We discuss the victorious nature of Christ’s kingdom, how the Great Commission informs our hope for the nations, and what it means to live with confidence that Christ’s reign is not merely future, but present and expanding. This is a powerful, hope-filled conversation that will challenge your assumptions, deepen your biblical understanding, and equip you to see the future through the lens of victory in Christ.

In this episode of Trueology, we reflected on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk and his legacy of mobilizing a generation toward conservatism and public proclamation of the gospel. We addressed the Christian response to liberal ideology, emphasizing the biblical principle of righteous hatred from the imprecatory Psalms, and our calling to speak truth with strength and conviction. We also considered the dangers of rushing to replacement leadership, highlighting why neither Ben Shapiro nor Nick Fuentes embody the Christian nationalist vision we need. Finally, we looked to the long-term hope of postmillennial Christian nationalism, rooted in public engagement, political strategy, strong churches, strong families, and holy living.

This episode is a call to spiritual toughness, to love righteousness, to hate evil, and to stand firm with courage and hope as we move forward in God’s kingdom mission.

In this episode of TRUEOLOGY, we sit down with Michael King of the Massachusetts Family Institute to examine what’s happening inside Massachusetts public schools and why parents should pay attention. From secularized education and radical sex-ed standards to the growing influence of LGBTQ ideology in classrooms, we look at how these policies took root and what they mean for children and families. Michael unpacks the political forces behind these changes, shares MFI’s recent victories — including legal wins and parent resources — and outlines the projects they’re building for the future. Finally, we talk about how Christians should think biblically about politics, law, and public life, and why believers cannot stay silent when culture seeks to reshape the next generation.

In this episode, I sit down with Ben Zeisloft for a candid and challenging conversation on the abortion debate in America. While many assume the pro-life movement has been the frontlines of protecting the preborn, Ben unpacks how the movement itself has, in surprising ways, become one of the biggest culprits in hindering true abolition. We discuss why pro-life leaders and organizations often resist abolitionist bills, how decades of incremental tactics have kept abortion entrenched in law and culture, and what it will take for Christians to move beyond compromise and toward equal protection for the unborn. This is not an easy conversation, but it’s a necessary one—especially for anyone who has ever wondered why abortion still persists despite countless “pro life victories."

In this episode of TRUEOLOGY, we take on one of the most misunderstood doctrines in Christian theology: How can God ordain sin—even sinful desires—yet remain perfectly holy and guiltless? Turning to chapter 5, paragraph 4 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession of Faith, we unpack how God’s sovereign counsel extends not only to creation and redemption, but also to the sinful acts of men and angels without Him ever being the author of sin. We begin by clarifying that Scripture does not present God as a passive observer who merely “permits” evil, but as the sovereign Author who wisely orders all things to His holy ends. We then confront the central objection—“If God ordained my desires, isn’t He guilty of my sin?”—and answer it by applying the Creator–creature distinction, showing through analogy and Scripture that God authors the story without sharing in the creature’s guilt. Case studies like Joseph’s brothers, Pharaoh, Assyria, and the crucifixion of Christ prove that God ordains sin for His glory while creatures remain fully responsible. Ultimately, this doctrine safeguards the certainty of the cross, the security of salvation, and the glory of a God who reigns over all things.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Josh (@SoteriologyA1 on X) as we lay down the biblical and philosophical case for God’s ultimate, determinative control over all things—not just in theory, but in every detail of reality. From this foundation, we move into the heart of the matter: God’s sovereignty over salvation. We unpack how this truth doesn’t cancel human responsibility, but instead magnifies grace, humbles the sinner, and gives real comfort in the Christian walk. This isn’t just theology for the mind—it’s truth for your life. If you’ve been following TRUEOLOGY, you know we go deep. So check out past episodes and stay tuned for more coming soon!

What does it mean to say that God governs all things—even the smallest details? In this episode, we explore the philosophical and biblical foundations for the doctrine of meticulous providence, the view that God actively and purposefully sustains, directs, and governs every event in creation. We begin by laying out the necessary categories that must exist if meticulous providence is to be rightly understood—such as divine sovereignty, creaturely agency, causation, time, and the distinction between God's will of decree and will of command. We then turn to the Scriptures to see how this doctrine is anchored in the biblical narrative, drawing from passages like Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:16-17, Acts 17:28. This episode is for thinkers, pastors, and everyday believers who want to better grasp how God’s sovereign rule intersects with real human decisions, suffering, prayer, and the moral order. Whether you're wrestling with big questions or teaching on God's providence, this conversation is designed to stretch your mind and ground your soul.
