In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker provide one of the most comprehensive expositions of the history and purpose of public schools you will hear anywhere. Public education was never about education—it was always about indoctrination. Schools don’t merely teach facts; they shape souls. And today, they're molding the children of Christian parents into the image of progressive ideology, not Christ. Parents, ask yourself: Who’s really discipling your kids?

The Church is under relentless attack from the culture. That reality should not be surprising to believers in Christ. But how should professing Christians respond biblically to those spiritual, theological, ideological, and philosophical attacks? In this 'freestyle' episode, Darrell and Virgil discuss some of the ways the culture, or what Jesus refers to in John 17:9 as "the world," aims to undermine the gospel and how we can respond to those attacks with the truth.

Sanctification is among the most important yet least-talked about doctrines in evangelicalism today. Why? In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, Darrell Harrison and Virgil (Omaha) Walker will discuss that topic, looking to what Scripture has to say about what sanctification is, why sanctification matters, how sanctification is accomplished, what sanctification looks like, and what are some hindrances to sanctification in the life of a Christian.

It is a question that seemingly arises during every presidential election cycle: For which candidate should a Christian vote? In 2024, the choice is between sitting Vice President of the United States Kamala Devi Harris and former President of the United States Donald John Trump, each of whose respective platforms, particularly on issues such as abortion, fail to align with a biblical worldview. Given that unfortunate reality, how is a believer in Christ to vote? In this "freestyle" episode, Darrell and Virgil help provide biblical guidance to believers who are attempting to discerningly answer that question for themselves.

What is a ‘black’ conservative? What does the qualifier ‘black.’ add to ‘conservatism’ as an ideology or philosophy so that black conservatives are viewed as political anomalies? Why are black people who are conservative so often labeled an “Uncle Tom” (among other pejorative terms)? Darrell and Virgil take on those questions, and more, in this “burn the ships” episode of the Just Thinking podcast, titled “Black Conservatism.”

In this episode of the Just Thinking podcast, co-hosts Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker discuss a biblical theology of abortion from the 3-point thesis that: 1) Abortion is the premeditated murder of unborn image-bearers of God (Gen. 1:27). 2) Murder is sin in God’s sight (Ex. 20:13). 3) In view of numbers 1 and 2, no individual has the right to premeditatedly end the life of an unborn child regardless of the circumstances by which that unborn child is conceived. Additionally, Darrell and Virgil connect the issue of abortion to the historical agenda of feminism and the LGBTQ movement of the 1800s.
