  • Sola Scriptura

    Thank God for this man--a "voice crying in the wilderness." As an ordained Southern Baptist pastor and missionary for 50 years the fact still remains--for those who really want to know the truth--there is more scientific evidence to support the Bible than any other piece of literature known to man. True wisdom is lost on the secular world. In 1997 the Lord gave me the following equation: True Wisdom=True Knowledge + True Understanding where True Knowledge represents the Bible and True Understand... more

  • The Reality Is…

    Love hearing Dr. Mohler’s perspective each morning. I keep a running total of his favorite phrase. According to my scientific method of counting, his daily use of “the reality is…” stands at 3.14 per day. A nice round number! 😁

  • Thank you!

    Thank you so much for covering IVG today - 10/2/2025. This needs to be addressed urgently. Much worse than abortion in my opinion.

  • The place to go.

    It’s hard to find a good Christian conservative to listen to, especially after recent events.

  • Informative and biblical

    I’ve been a listener for years and really appreciate Dr. Mohler’s perspective on current events.

    However, I have to say I don’t think he represented Charlie Kirk very well. Kirk, although he was a political commentator, constantly shared the Gospel on campuses, pointed students to Jesus, rooted his political beliefs in the Bible. Kirk was an evangelist and now, a martyr.

    Genuinely though, thank you Dr. Mohler for this podcast and your careful consideration on most topics.
