Episode Summary: What if climate change isn't primarily about science, but religion?

Darrell Harrison, co-author of A Biblical Theology of Climate Change, makes the provocative case that climate alarmism is more than politics or science—it's a full-fledged worldview rooted in modern pantheism. He exposes how this ideology treats Earth as a deity. This deity demands radical sacrifice and drives policies that often harm both people and the very planet they claim to protect.

We hope this conversation challenges you to approach environmental concerns not with fear or uncritical submission, but with truth, wisdom, and a biblical framework. Ideas really do have consequences. Understanding the worldviews behind today's most pervasive ideas will give you the clarity and confidence to exchange illusion for reality and respond faithfully to even the most controversial issues.

Episode Summary: In today's distracted and disoriented culture, the local church faces a critical question: are we actively prioritizing the formation of disciples who can think and live biblically in every area of their lives?

Pastor Doug Atterbury from Compass Bible Church joins us to explore how churches can move beyond surface-level success to embrace the deeper call of the Great Commission—transformative worldview discipleship. Drawing from his experience in secular Southern California, Doug shares how believers can resist cultural lies, reclaim purpose, and model holistic lives of meaning in a confused world.

We hope that this episode will shed light on the vital need for pastors, parents, and all Christians to encourage their churches to step into the battlefield of worldviews and ideas with truth that transforms.

Episode Summary: Antisemitism is surging at an alarming rate around the world—but what’s fueling this ancient hatred? In this episode, Darrow Miller joins us to explore the deeper spiritual realities driving antisemitism—realities the media, politicians, and even most churches won’t touch. This conversation isn't just about politics, land disputes, ancient grievances, or theological camps.

At its core, antisemitism is a rejection of the moral universe revealed by the God of the Bible. When God called Abraham, He didn’t just form an ethnic group—He launched a revolutionary worldview with one sovereign Creator, one moral law, and one standard of truth. This vision of reality has, and will, always provoke hostility in a world that longs for autonomy.

Jews, whether religious or secular, represent this divine worldview by their very existence. They are living reminders that there is a God—and that we are not Him! This is why totalitarian regimes, pagan cultures, and secular movements have always sought to erase them.

Join us as we trace the spiritual and historical roots of antisemitism, from Egypt to Auschwitz to today’s college campuses. Examine how the same hatred directed at Jews eventually targets Christians who uphold biblical morality. The urgent question is: Will Christians stand in solidarity with the Jewish people—or remain silent as this civilizational crisis deepens?

Our worldview shapes what we think, how we live, and the kind of culture we create. So when our communities bear bitter fruit—poverty, corruption, injustice—we need to look at the roots below the surface. In this episode, we explore how worldviews are formed, how they shape entire societies, and why true transformation comes from working at this level.

Too often, Christian mission stops at conversion and overlooks the need for deep worldview discipleship, leaving people with many unbiblical cultural assumptions. Lasting change comes when our minds are renewed, leading to flourishing not only in our lives, but also in our families and nations as we live into God's design.

Main Topics:

1. What Is a Worldview? – How it forms and why it matters
2. Ideas Flow Downstream – From philosophers to principles to lifestyles
3. Rooted in Truth – How biblical worldview transforms hearts and societies

It starts with us. We must intentionally think and act differently than the world, based on the reality of God’s Kingdom.

Vishal Mangalwadi returns to challenge the pessimistic theology that has sidelined the Western church for decades. He argues that the West's decline politically and culturally stems from bad theology. We pray, “His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth,” but simultaneously, we as the church in America have retreated from leading in the culture.

To move forward, Mangalwadi proposes a bold vision that begins with education reform, calling churches to reclaim their position as centers of discipleship and cultural formation. Drawing from his global experience and biblical conviction, he offers a hopeful roadmap for restoring truth and rebuilding broken nations.

Main Topics:

1. Why Western Christianity adopted a pessimistic eschatology—and the cultural cost
2. How the church turned to a private faith and ceded culture to secularism
3. Mangalwadi's plan to renew culture through biblically rooted education

Join us to explore how the church can recover its cultural voice and help replant biblical roots in today's world.

Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion, challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel. He shares practical ways churches can respond with compassion, healing, and hope to those facing pregnancy decisions.

Main Topics:

1. From Pro-Life to Pro-Abundant Life – Why saving babies isn’t enough without also making disciples
2. Shocking Church Statistics – 54% of abortion seekers identify as Christians
3. Ministry, Not Politics – How small groups and churches can become safe, healing places
4. Mary, Joseph & Making Life Disciples – Biblical models for gospel-centered care

If abortion is happening in our churches, what kind of gospel are we really preaching?
