  • Trump’s Morality?

    You don’t see the problem with the President being guided only by his own morality? He is blind to his own brokenness and his treatment of others! You should deeply reflect on your ordered loves! Can Trump do no wrong?

    The biblical and theological inconsistencies of Mohler are deeply troubling. He has traded his testimony for his political standings.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Friday, March 6, 2026
Q: A homeschool mom asks how much she should engage with world events politically while prioritizing her home and family. How should she balance responsibility to the world with her primary mission field at home?
The right approach is to remain informed and actively faithful at home, modeling engagement with truth and virtue in public life while prioritizing relationships and the nurture of children. She should teach discernment, avoid nihilism, and pursue balanced involvement that honors both family duties and obligations to broader society.

Q: What about the use of AI in daily work? Is embracing AI in coding and other tasks inherently wrong, or is it a matter of how we use it and whether we preserve human dignity?
Using AI for productive tasks isn't a theological problem in itself, but there is a danger in letting machines supplant human moral agency or confuse human identity with machine output. The key is to maintain clear distinctions between human intelligence and machine intelligence, and to ensure AI serves human dignity rather than undermining it.

Q: I listened to your briefing about gambling a while back, and it made me think of this gambling website called Polymarket. There's a current wager on whether or not Jesus will come back before 2027. Is that a sin to engage with this kind of betting, or can it be evaluated biblically?
I appreciate the question. It's inappropriate to gamble on the return of Christ because it commercializes a divine event and involves others in a speculative market; the guidance is to avoid participating in wagering on such matters and to consider the broader issues of what it means to treat prophetic events with reverence rather than as entertainment or profit.
Friday, February 27, 2026
Q: Are children guilty for believing things taught by parents that aren't true?
Eventually, children are responsible for their ideas, and parents have a significant influence on their beliefs.
Friday, February 27, 2026
Q: What should the biblical guide be regarding girls wrestling?
Wrestling is a noble sport, but the physical context of male/female wrestling should be approached morally, reflecting creation order.
