    Your hosting Sam Storms shows you obviously lack discernment. What a shame.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Struggling to Evangelize? Start Here. (Sharonda Cooper)
Q: What's a practical approach to evangelism in everyday life?
Ask questions, take a genuine interest in others, listen, and look for natural openings to share what Jesus has done in your life, avoiding pressure while staying ready to discuss the gospel.
Struggling to Evangelize? Start Here. (Sharonda Cooper)
Q: How do you locate the confidence needed to begin evangelism despite its fears?
Confidence comes from the conviction that God will save people and that the believer's job is to share the gospel, not guarantee immediate results; the process is about participation with God rather than control.
What Is Critical Theory? (Bradley Green)
Q: What would a critical theorist say is the problem, and how does that differ from Christian anthropology?
Critical theorists see the problem as systemic oppression rooted in economic and cultural power, whereas Christianity locates the problem in sin within the individual and structures that shape behavior, offering redemption through Christ and a reoriented community life.
What Is Critical Theory? (Bradley Green)
Q: Can you just give us a brief explanation, brief definition of what you mean when you say critical theory?
Critical theory is a worldview that is self-professedly non-Christian, rooted in Marxism, and often reframed as cultural Marxism; it sees culture, institutions, and power as the primary engines of oppression and seeks to dismantle traditional structures to enable revolution.
The Life and Legacy of John Bunyan (Champ Thornton)
Q: What should a middle-grade reader take away from Bunyan's life?
One major takeaway is that you are not alone in your struggles and that God can redeem creative gifts for meaningful, gospel-centered purposes in your life.
