  • Trustworthy resource!!

    Jon is one of the guys I go to for truthful information about what is going on in the church, however, I’ve even emailed him and not heard back about the ads at the end of his podcasts, especially the one for Ashley Madison. I think he would be mortified to know this.

  • A Bastion of the Most Idiotic Branch of Christianity

    Please do some semblance of research before you try to call someone a heretic. You represent the absolute most embarrassing archetype of Christianity that gives a bad name to the entire flock. I would ask you to give up, but I know that your low intelligence level will interpret this request as “persecution” for “Christ’s sake.”

  • So disappointing

    Jon is so disappointing to me. I listened to him for a long time because even though I strongly disagree with him on almost everything, I thought he was principled and genuinely loved Jesus. (I voted for Kamala Harris, so despite my regular attendance to a PCA church and repentance and belief in Jesus he almost certainly thinks i’m going to hell.) Jon is a grifter. He has let his paleo conservatism become an idol and is blinded to the truth. Do not give him your attention but pray for his soul.

  • So stupid

    This guy’s double standard in the way he treats John MacArthur and Tim Keller post mortem is honestly disgusting. I can’t believe people listen to this guy. Now he’s calling John mark comer a heretic and defending slavery. Don’t throw your pearls before swine

  • It annoys me that he is calling out Kirk Cameron about this subject. Humans cannot know everything about the Bible. I believe that hell is one of the things that is beyond human understanding. Kirk is just challenging the common way we think about hell. Will a just God punish someone eternally that doesn't have to ability to live eternally? The soul is eternal, but the body is not. This is one of the unknowable things we will have to ask God when we see him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why the Killing of Christians in Nigeria Hasn't Stopped — And What You Can Do About It
Q: What would change the U.S. policy stance toward Nigeria?
Advocates should push for the Nigeria Accountability Act to allocate resources and officially recognize groups like the Falani militia as terrorists, thereby enabling policy tools to pressure the Nigerian government to protect Christians.
“I Was Convicted by My Own Apathy” – Juan Riesco on Saving Babies
Q: What motivated you to start prioritizing ministry at abortion clinics over other work?
A combination of personal conviction, a perceived divine calling, and a desire to respond to the Lord's prompting led him to commit to going to the clinics weekly, even when it meant setting aside other career plans.
The White Pill with Rod Martin: Iran, China, and the SBC
Q: What about the midterms—will Republicans gain ground given the current geopolitical stance?
He expresses confidence in a favorable economic backdrop and strategic moves, suggesting a solid chance of gains in the midterms, though acknowledges variables could alter outcomes.
The White Pill with Rod Martin: Iran, China, and the SBC
Q: What are the predictions for oil prices and the midterms given the Iran situation?
He predicts that oil prices will drop as sanctions and strategic moves reduce risk premiums, with a potentially positive effect on the midterms due to an improving economy; also optimistic about political momentum in the SBC and broader conservative reforms.
The White Pill with Rod Martin: Iran, China, and the SBC
Q: Cost-benefit analysis, why did we go into Iran, and is Netanyahu influencing Trump?
He downplays Netanyahu's control, framing Iran as a broader strategic rival tied to China, and suggests the aim is to pressure regimes while avoiding boots-on-ground conflict; the discussion centers on strategic pressure, sanctions, and regional influence rather than direct Israeli manipulation.
