Ep 1200 | Exposing the Innocence Project: Fake Evidence, Dark Funding & Protecting Monsters

Today we’re joined by Jonathan “JP” Pokluda, pastor of Harris Creek Baptist Church in Waco, Texas, and author of “Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want to Do?” to discuss the book as well as a few other things. First, JP explains his approach to preaching and the rigorous process he goes through to make sure that the sermons he prepares are the best that they can be. Preaching in Waco presents its own challenges and opportunities, since there are many college students who live there. JP talks about how he approaches speaking to young adult congregations. Then, what is sin and how should we think about it? We dive into the intricacies of sin and how our fleshly desires can rule over us if we're not staying aware. We also discuss the idea of authenticity – both good and bad – and how Christians need to submit both authenticity and autonomy in order for them to be virtues. Near the end of the interview, JP also poses a pointed question: What do you think happens after you die? And if you think you're going to heaven, how sure are you? --- Timecodes: (01:20) Interview with JP begins (03:45) How do you prepare sermons?

Today we're discussing a recent study many news outlets have reported on, which looks at the children of same-sex couples and concludes that these children fare the same or better than children of heterosexual couples. We start with some thoughts on "gay marriage" in general from a biblical standpoint, which would hold accurate even if this study were valid. Then we break down the study analysis, which was funded by China (the CCP), and its methodology, which has more than a few glaring issues, and outcomes. We share some studies that have been correctly done, which show that the opposite seems to be true – children of heterosexual couples indeed do fare better by many different metrics. We also share a big show update coming soon! --- Timecodes: (00:43) Show update!

Today we're joined by Carol Roth, economic pro and recovering investment banker, to discuss Silicon Valley Bank, which failed over the weekend. Carol breaks down what happened on Friday with Silicon Valley Bank's failure, reportedly the second-largest bank failure in history, as well as the subsequent failure of a second bank — Signature Bank. How did the Federal Reserve's rapidly rising interest rates contribute to this catastrophe, and how will it affect us? The implications of this extend far outside of California, so we discuss how much we should be concerned and why it's important not to panic, but instead hope for the best and plan for the worst. We close out with a change in pace as we review the best and worst looks from the Oscars last night. You can grab Carol's new book, "You Will Own Nothing," this July.

Today we're joined by Jason Whitlock, host of "Fearless" on BlazeTV, to talk recent news. First, the White House has given a "Woman of Courage" award to a man on International Women's Day. We discuss what kind of message this sends and ultimately how we should be pushing back on gender ideology. Then, we cover the New York Times' spotlight of a woman complaining about the lack of correctly fitting helmets for black equestrian riders and claiming that sports like this "were only created for white people." We also talk about Chris Rock's new Netflix special in which he seems to be making a strong pro-life argument. This comes after a long history of seemingly pro-life suggestions in his comedy. We look at the travesty of men who are pro-choice and who refuse to make any sacrifice for a woman and how women should not marry these men. Then, we look at a recent story from an Ohio elementary school where a group of black students physically forced multiple white students to state "Black Lives Matter" and how we've entered MLK's nightmare.

Today we’re talking about Jon Stewart’s recent interview with Oklahoma state Senator Nathan Dahm, in which he defended drag show performances and claimed that guns are the leading cause of childhood deaths, which, while somewhat true, is a stretch when you look at certain other important factors. We dive into why and talk about the actual leading cause of child deaths — abortion. Then, we take a look at the Hershey’s Women’s History Month ad, which featured a man who identifies as a woman — a lesson is terrible marketing. Then, we’re joined by Bethany Mandel, author of "Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence and Indoctrinating a Generation," to discuss the woke war on children and how parents can respond. We discuss how the Left has infiltrated all spaces (medicine, schools, and media) in an effort to win over our children.

Today we're talking about an article published by the Gospel Coalition that has made waves in the conservative and evangelical communities. The article in question is in fact an excerpt from Josh Butler's forthcoming book, "Beautiful Union," and argues that sex and the roles of husband and wife within the act of sex point to salvation and show the relationship between Christ and the church. We discuss the backlash from popular Christian leaders and others who have deemed the article "too erotic" and "misogynistic." Ultimately, the Gospel Coalition took the article down, caving to the criticism. We also look at the theological arguments that back Butler's claims, regardless of how he may have worded the excerpt. Then, Canadian Pastor Derek Reimer was arrested last week after he protested a family drag event (and was consequently physically thrown out). He has been charged with "mischief" and "causing a disturbance." Tucker Carlson responded to this, asking (very rightly so) where the Christian leaders are to speak out about this? Where are David French and Beth Moore? Turns out Beth Moore is busy speaking to Baylor students about white privilege. We take a look at the kind of rhetoric she is prioritizing. --- Timecodes: (06:23) The Gospel Coalition sex article (11:50) Josh Butler resigns & reactions to article (20:32) Drag queen events & parents (26:33) Canadian pastor arrested for protesting drag event (34:10) Tucker Carlson's response & Christian leaders (38:17) Isabel Vaughn Spruce arrested again for praying outside abortion clinic (43:40) Where in the world is Beth Moore? --- Today's Sponsors: Birch Gold — protect your future with gold.

Today we’re joined by Leanne Jamieson, executive director at Prestonwood Pregnancy Center, to talk about what really goes on at pregnancy centers. In the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, pregnancy centers across the country have found themselves targets of vandalism and vitriol, most notably from Elizabeth Warren, who deemed them “dangerous.” Leanne sets the record straight, explaining that these are centers where women come to be loved, served, and given actual choices that Planned Parenthood would never present. We go through exactly what happens when a woman enters Prestonwood Pregnancy Center and how the center serves both long-term and holistically. Leanne shares some stories of how God is working in these centers, as well as what PPC was able to do with all of our listeners’ generous donations after the “Elizabeth Warren Exposes Very Scary Pregnancy Center” parody video last year.
