  • Not as impressed as I was

    After hearing some of these podcasts, I am at the same time impressed with how he does them and with the information he gives and on the other hand disappointed with how he deals with some subjects. How he didn’t first sympathize with Charlie Kirk’s family before talking politics is quite disappointing; also how he doesn’t admit that vaccines could be a cause for autism is quite biased toward the pharmaceutical companies

  • False Information

    I have been listening to Mohler for a few years now. His Christian worldview is helpful, encouraging and challenging. His thoughts on the Menéndez recent parol hearings had false claims. For example he stated that all the jurors from the trials are gone. If indeed he is claiming the jurors are all dead, he is wrong. In fact, some jurors from the trials have recently spoken out publicly. Think critically when listening to his show, especially when it comes to issues that he is not an expert such ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Friday, September 19, 2025
Q: How should Christian parents approach their children if they suspect they are involved with someone transgender?
Parents should treat both individuals with dignity and respect but must not affirm the claims of the transgender person if they believe it contradicts their understanding of reality, maintaining a loving yet truthful stance while recognizing the cultural pressures at play.
Friday, September 19, 2025
Q: Why are leaders in media willing to call out trans, but just won't say a word about gay and how that's a gateway to that darker realm?
The moral revolution works by desensitizing people to issues, starting with normalizing homosexuality through media representation, which makes it difficult to challenge more radical aspects of the LGBTQ spectrum without seeming intolerant.
Friday, September 5, 2025
Q: How can I square mandatory report laws in terms of abuse with religious liberty?
The church must prioritize its responsibility under Scripture but also respect the state's duty to defend persons, especially regarding abuse.
Friday, September 5, 2025
Q: What do you think that means?
It means every human knows there is a judge and that we are sinners, thus acknowledging the problem, although not everyone leads to the gospel without hearing it first.
Friday, August 22, 2025
Q: Should a conservative celebrate a Supreme Court decision that upholds the curtailing of parental rights?
A conservative should carefully consider how parental rights fit within the broader context of protecting children's wellbeing while also advocating for parental authority.
