  • It’s Not Whether but Which. Xn Nationalism of what?

    Christian Nationalism straw man.You do not deal with any of the serious arguments, just created a punching bag. So tell me if we do not base are laws on God’s law which of men’s reasons and morality should we base our laws on? God doesn’t care about that? have you read Psalm two? If a civil magistrate becomes a Christian he comes to you as a pastor and says how should I now govern? Are you going to say sorry that’s Christian nationalism I don’t have anything to tell you?

  • Thinking Christian-ly

    Understanding the signs of the times…and knowing with wisdom what to do. This podcast is so helpful for helping me cultivate correct orthodoxy. The culture challenges Christians on all sides - thinking correctly is not easy any more, and issues change lighting fast…it takes work to keep up - listen here for help. My life turned around in the late 1990’s precisely because I started listening to Dr. White & Meck Community Church. You can get the same accurate instruction on this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CCP196: On Toxic Bosses
Q: How should staff or volunteers respond to toxic behavior in a church environment?
The host and guest outline a multi-step approach: first, try to address the behavior directly using Matthew 18:15; second, involve others or supervisors if needed; third, escalate up the supervisory chain; fourth, utilize whistle-blowing channels if available; and finally, if all else fails, consider leaving the organization to protect oneself and others. They emphasize building accountability structures and ensuring safety for those reporting misconduct.
CCP196: On Toxic Bosses
Q: Now Jim, what characteristics might lead someone to believe that their boss is toxic?
James Emery White describes a toxic boss as exhibiting harmful workplace behaviors such as unfair preferential treatment, lack of recognition, blame shifting, micromanagement, unrealistic expectations, unapproachability, taking credit for others' ideas, and unprofessional conduct. He emphasizes that many explanations point to external pressures, but personal leadership flaws and lack of accountability are central factors, and that toxicity can also stem from motives like ambition, ideology, or expediency in church leadership.
CCP194: On Leading Gen Z
Q: What leadership skills would you say are most critical for Gen Z to develop?
Perseverance, resilience, sacrifice, loyalty, teamwork, and collaboration, followed by accountability, vision, discipline, and clear communication. These are foundational leadership skills rooted in biblical principles that Gen Z needs to embody to lead effectively in a post-Christian workplace.
CCP191: On Teenage Sexuality
Q: What are the practical steps parents can take to navigate digital sexuality with their kids?
Know your kid rather than trying to know every aspect of the digital world; use accountability software, start conversations early and often about the digital landscape, and frame sex as a sacred, holistic concept rather than just mechanics.
CCP191: On Teenage Sexuality
Q: How has culture influenced how teens think about being a man or a woman in this era?
Girls are increasingly pressured by objectification online, while boys face looksmaxing and red-pill ideologies; both pressures push toward unrealistic standards and sexual entitlement, which a biblical framework challenges by emphasizing inner character and respectful partnership.
