  • Great Podcast

    Most of the disgruntled reviews are coming from non-Christian writers that are offended it isn’t “objective” or “unbiased” these guys are great. They’re leaning on the truth of the scripture and experiencing soft persecution for that. Continue to be willing to look foolish for the sake of the gospel and have your name disgraced in the name of Jesus! If it is not for God it is against him. Practices like yoga, meditation, enneagram, horoscopes, “spiritual formation” these are essentially demonic ... more

  • I love this series. But in an earlier episode you mentioned re-enchanting the world. In this episode you're main goal seems to be to materialize the world, and even the Bible.

  • The Cult of Effeminacy?

    Dropped my rating another star. The Calvinistic leanings and absolute arrogance almost make it unlistenable.

    I like cultish. It has some great content, and as a believer that definitely believes in a biblical hierarchy with a man both heading the home and the church, I was interested in hearing this one. But Dale Patridge takes it too far. Skinny jeans are not a sin. I mean they’re a tragedy on most men, but they’re not sinful. And if he wants to criticize the music, then look at its biblical... more

  • One of the BEST podcasts I have ever listened to

    So insightful and informative. I have learned so much already, and I’ve only recently started listening to you guys. This podcast has both convicted, taught, and inspired me a good deal since I hit the play button! You guys really hit all the crucial topics and are grounded in solid biblical truths. Love it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Gospel They Don't Want You to Hear: Evangelism in Mormon Utah
Q: What do you have to do to be with the Father forever?
Torres contrasts Mormon teachings about obedience with his view that people are reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ and the sufficiency of his sacrifice.
The Gospel They Don't Want You to Hear: Evangelism in Mormon Utah
Q: Are they a cult and are Mormons Christian?
Torres says Mormonism is a cult and that Mormons are not Christian, arguing that it teaches a different gospel, Christ, and spirit from biblical Christianity.
Defending Christ Against Islam: Apologetics with Vocab Malone
Q: What does the Quran teach about the inspiration of the New Testament?
Malone argues that, taken together, Quranic passages present the Torah and Gospel as guidance that Jews and Christians still possess. He says the claim that the Bible itself is corrupted is not clearly supported by those passages, which he interprets as referring instead to misinterpretation.
Defending Christ Against Islam: Apologetics with Vocab Malone
Q: Why is it necessary for a Muslim to want to appeal to the Old and New Testament in general?
Malone says the Quran describes the Torah and Gospel as scripture available to Jews and Christians and says Muhammad is found in them. Muslim apologists therefore appeal to biblical passages to argue that Muhammad was foretold, while also disputing the reliability or interpretation of passages that conflict with Islam.
Inside the Mission Field of Mormonism with Samuel Torres
Q: How can you leverage what you believe about the individual to help you in your conversation with the gospel about them?
Torres recommends appealing to a person's conscience and helping them recognize sin and their need for a savior, rather than beginning with abstract arguments about God's existence.
