Voddie Baucham’s Fire: Bold Clips that reject a sissified Jesus and Ignite True Faith in our Sovereign Lord. 

Episode Summary: In this heartfelt tribute episode of Tearing Down High Places (EP 90), hosts Average Joe, Pastor Jeff, and Pastor Tim honor the late Voddie Baucham through a montage of his most powerful sermon clips. They dive into themes like the hope of resurrection, rejecting a “sissified” Jesus, biblical apologetics against evolution, sacrificial marriage love, common-sense pushback on gender ideology, the dangers of “nice” Christianity, racial unity in Adam, homosexuality as sin, spiritual warfare via the gospel, and eternal security. Interwoven with personal stories and reactions, the episode celebrates Baucham’s bold, humorous, and biblically grounded legacy as a warrior for truth, while lamenting his early passing at 56 and calling for more like him.

Section Breakdown: The episode is structured around an intro banter, followed by 15+ Voddie clips (with timestamps from the transcript where available), each paused for host discussion. Timestamps are approximate based on dialogue flow for easy skipping/jumping in audio/video playback. Total runtime: ~1:09:00.00:00:00 – 00:02:02: Intro Banter & Name Shenanigans

Hosts introduce the episode with Voddie’s iconic “unhappy marriage” clip. Light-hearted chat about nicknames (Average Joe’s “Trip” alias), X (Twitter) presence, and teasing Pastor Tim’s uniqueness. Sets a fun, relational tone before diving into Voddie’s impact.

00:02:22 – 00:05:48: Favorite Voddie Quotes & Social Justice Legacy

Hosts share top “Voddieisms” like “send your kids to Caesar, don’t be surprised if they come back Romans.” Praise his 2019 “Defining Social Justice” sermon as a pre-“woke” turning point. Average Joe calls him a “barometer for white racists” in gray churches.

00:05:50 – 00:08:47: Clip 1 – Resurrection Hope (Don’t Pity Me)

Voddie defies death rumors, emphasizing Christ’s resurrection as our guarantee. Hosts react with Pastor Jeff’s Street evangelism story of an 8-year-old boy gripped by resurrection power amid urban fears. Ties to freedom from death’s slavery (Hebrews 2).

00:09:24 – 00:13:56: Clip 2 – Rejecting Sissy Jesus (Revelation 19 Warrior)

Voddie blasts the “needy, sissified” cultural Jesus, exalting the wrath-pouring King of Kings. Hosts decry feminist pastors, Tim Keller’s “middle ground,” and Gospel Coalition’s “Gentle and Lowly” softness. Contrast with rugged Calvinists like John Knox.

00:14:19 – 00:18:15: Clip 3 – Biblical Authority Apologetic

Voddie shares a student’s bold classroom defense of Scripture against evolution. Hosts geek out on the eyewitness/prophecy formula (Average Joe has it taped in his Bible). Pastor Jeff adds a 5P acrostic (Professing, Prophetic, Perfect, Proven, Powerful). Lament kid indoctrination in colleges.

00:18:36 – 00:21:33: Clip 4 – Sacrificial Marriage Love (Go Home & Love Her)

Voddie commands husbands to love wives as neighbors/enemies/sisters in Christ, mocking “I’m unhappy” excuses. Hosts affirm agape over feelings, critique no-fault divorce, and recall vows “for better or worse.”

00:22:07 – 00:23:34: Clip 5 – Gender Delusions (Johnny Isn’t Susie)

Voddie humorously rejects transgender affirmation like entertaining Batman fantasies. Hosts call out “toxic empathy” and cultural squishiness enabling delusions.

00:23:34 – 00:28:21: Clip 6 – Why Apologetics Fades (Sentimentalism & Mysticism)

Voddie critiques “thou shalt be nice” and anti-intellectual “head knowledge is a disease.” Hosts tie to Pastor Jeff’s Woke Free Church backlash, postmodern doubt in colleges, and need for bold truth like Paul’s confrontation of Peter.

00:29:11 – 00:30:48: Clip 7 – Masculine Jesus (Whip & Sword, Not Soft Paintings)

Voddie paints temple-cleansing Jesus as tough, not a “hand model.” Hosts blast effeminate Catholic/Mormon/Black Jesus icons, link to celibate priesthoods and Vatican scandals.

00:32:03 – 00:36:56: Clip 8 – One Race in Adam (No Biblical Races)

Voddie debunks “race” as a Darwinian construct; we’re shades of melanin from Adam. Hosts affirm ethnic/national differences (e.g., American vs. Sharia cultures) but prioritize imago Dei. Expose Darwin’s racist subtitle on favored races.

00:37:04 – 00:42:52: Clip 9 – Homosexuality as Abomination (Violation of Order)

Voddie calls it uniquely destructive (Sodom’s fire), rejecting “gay Christian” labels. Hosts slam ReVoice/Sam Allberry’s “desire is okay” heresy, affirm gospel freedom from sin’s power (1 Cor. 6:11, “such were some of you”).

00:42:58 – 00:45:19: Clip 10 – Big Reprobate Churches (Itching Ears)

Voddie explains mega-false-teacher success via 2 Tim. 4’s “itching ears.” Hosts debate fruit/root: People crave tickles, false teachers entice—both sides corrupt.

00:45:22 – 00:48:28: Clip 11 – True Spiritual Warfare (Gospel Over Demon-Casting)

Voddie says preaching gospel fills the “house” with Holy Spirit, blocking demons (Matt. 12). Hosts warn against power encounters without repentance; share inner-city deliverance stories.

00:48:33 – 00:50:08: Clip 12 – Misusing “Binding” Satan (Church Discipline Context)

Voddie mocks out-of-context demon-binding prayers. Hosts stress biblical context to avoid “stupid spiritual things.”

00:50:08 – 00:54:43: Clip 13 – “God Told Me” Nonsense (Hebrews 1 Closed Canon)

Voddie ridicules flippant “God said” claims; angels say “fear not/get up.” Hosts laugh at delivery, caution against equating impressions with inspiration. Average Joe recalls failed DEI pushback with Voddie quotes.

00:54:43 – 00:57:21: Clip 14 – Prayer Arrogance (Heard = Privilege, Not Granted)

Voddie rebukes judging God’s hearing by outcomes. Hosts praise high Calvinist sovereignty view over man-centered “name it/claim it.”

00:57:21 – 00:59:47: Clip 15 – Eternal Security (Holy Spirit Down Payment)

Voddie mocks Arminian arrogance: “You can lose salvation… but I haven’t.” Hosts exalt Eph. 1:13-14; Jude 24—God keeps us.

01:00:00 – 01:01:34: Clip 16 – Gospel Produces Obedience (Not Requires It)

Voddie clarifies repentance/faith saves; works follow (Eph. 2:10). Hosts harmonize with James: Genuine faith fruits naturally.

01:01:34 – 01:02:40: Clip 17 – Worship the Trinity (Not Just Moral Example)

Voddie warns against “boyfriend Jesus” songs diluting Godhead. Hosts push theology-rich worship songs over emotional fluff.

01:03:32 – 01:08:57: Closing Clips & Outro (Brokenness & Legacy)

Voddie prays for ongoing brokenness over sin to grasp grace. Hosts reflect on his MacArthur-like trajectory, pray for more bold voices (teasing Pastor Jeff). Plug event at Freedom Park (Oct. 14, 2025). End with “Tear it down.”
