  • Review of “Should Christians VOTE for ‘Character’ or ‘Policy’?”

    I only listened to one episode and that told everything I need to know about Josh Howerton. “Should Christians VOTE for ‘Character’ or ‘Policy’?”

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Megachurch Pastor Reacts To MLB SCANDAL Targeting Christian Players | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Mike Krukow, what are your thoughts on the conversation surrounding Major League Baseball and Pride Night?
Krukow weighs in with concerns about framing, urges respect for religious viewpoints, and emphasizes kneeling to faith over public display of support for clusters of beliefs that conflict with tradition.
The Bible NEVER Mentions Homosexuality!?... Is that True? | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Jesus never talked about homosexuality, Paul. How do we respond to that line of argument?
Three main counterpoints: (1) silence does not equal endorsement, (2) Jesus spoke within a cultural context where certain sins were universally recognized as wrong, and (3) if Jesus is God, His teaching reflects God's unchanging moral standard, including sexual morality.
Jesus Is Coming Back SOON... But Most Christians Aren't Ready. (ft. John Bevere) | Live Free with Josh Howerton
Q: Is there a biblical prophecy yet to be fulfilled before the rapture in your view?
No; the rapture could happen at any time, and the timeline should be seen as a catalyst for holy living rather than a countdown.
Jesus Is Coming Back SOON... But Most Christians Aren't Ready. (ft. John Bevere) | Live Free with Josh Howerton

It refers to the Antichrist stopping sacrifices and setting up an idol to worship, declaring himself as God.
