We can see the outcomes of what DEI, CRT, and gender lies do to people, but how does it happen? We start with the solution first. Young people are seeking meaning and are turning to God and we must be ready to guide them to that. We take a look back at the Asbury Revival and how it is still impacting the lives of young people. What DEI and CRT does is actually the inverse of an important therapeutic process. That therapeutic process creates integrated human beings, but in this society, with the lies of transgenderism it takes a problem and makes it the identity of the person.

Will this generation under Biden remember the banning of TikTok? Will they remember a time when there are Republicans who tell you where to get their news because they have been bought off by Facebook? I will remember. Maybe they will remember an era where they were hated and where children were unwanted. And maybe, the people being forced to grow up under the corrupt and satanic Figurehead will remember a brave group of young girls who took a stand against the lie of transgenderism. I know I will.

Wade Lightheart, world champion body builder and co-founder of Bioptimizers joins me. The first time I met Wade, I wanted him to come on the podcast. I have developed what we evangelicals call a “burden” for young men; I think in part because of how I have stumbled through life and made significant mistakes. Wade Lightheard grew up desperately poor, but always knew that with work, he could reach his dreams and goals. He shares very specific advice for young men and how to have a life that matters.

In a video of protesters at NYU, a young woman admitted that she didn’t really know why she was protesting. Kris Mayes, the Arizona General Attorney, won by a couple thousands votes in a state that does not verify ballots, but claims the election was totally legitimate. Yet, she is now taking President Trump to court in Arizona. Why? And, the mayor of San Jose, California, who is a proponent of defunding the police, was doing an interview on the street when he was attacked. Guess what he did? You might ask that mayor why he called 911 and why he said to defund the police. This is the state of American politics thanks to the Left and the Mockingbird Media.

Proverbs 9:10 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Ephesians 2:1-10
Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

I have been noticing some resurgence of the hatred of rednecks, though it comes from those who don’t actually know any. A woman who calls herself a CEO in the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, is actively trying to make it harder for people to drive trucks like the Ford F-150. She doesn’t hate trucks though, she’s afraid of and hates the rednecks who drive them. I want to educate people as to what and who us rednecks are. According to Google we are political reactionaries, wanting to go back to how things were. Is that a bad thing?What does God’s Word say? 
Exodus 20:15
15 “You shall not steal.John 6:31-3531 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a]”32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.Proverbs 9:10-12
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,    and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.11 For through wisdom[a] your days will be many,    and years will be added to your life.12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you;    if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

My wife and I just watched Quiet On Set. It exposes Nickelodeon for hiring pedophiles and shares the stories of the children who were abused. The documentary makers and some of those interviewed live in California. The same California where it is now legal for men to rape boys. The nation is a place where the things that took place on Nickelodeon sets are going on in the schools. In school libraries, pornography is being provided for children to read. Quiet On Set hits a target but misses the entire point.

10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, 11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied, 12 be careful that you do not forget the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
Acts 1:6-8
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

I have a question for you. Are you ready to do some culture jamming against the intelligence services that hate our guts and watch to watch and listen to everything we do? What does that mean? I do think it’s time that we engage in this form of civil disobedience. In Australia, the police are suppressing video of a priest being stabbed by a jihadist, but they still want the Australian people to trust them and not talk about the efforts to hide this video. Are you ready to culture jam people like this? Congress certainly isn't going to stand up against them. With new evidence being revealed about the assassination of JFK Jr, it is clearly shown that the actions of these agencies are not compatible with freedom or democracy and it’s time to do something about it. I will share a way, that if we choose to, we can all stand together and culture jam the NSA and the FBI. If they don’t like it, they can get a warrant.

He has been all over the globe at his own expense and has become one of the most recognized faces in the fight against gender ideology and the surgical and chemical mutilation of kids. I asked Chris about why he chose this particular approach and the challenges and harm he has faced because of what he is doing. We also talked about the positive changes happening around the world in countries that are coming out of the spell of this satanic scheme.

We also talk about the drive to use AI to patrol our borders to prevent fentanyl from coming across the border. Of course, they won’t go farther than that with the AI, right?

There is a fantastic piece done by Nathaniel Blake at The Federalist titled, Strangling For Sexual Sport Is Exactly The Kind Of Thing We Should ‘Kink-Shame’. The percentage of young women who have been choked during sex is horrifyingly high. This is happening because it is what porn is showing young men to do. In his piece, Blake critiques an article written by the New York Times in which the writer seems genuinely concerned that young women are being choked during sex. But, the writer can not bring herself to criticize it, for fear of kink shaming, and instead advocates for porn literacy. We also take a look at how Graham Linehan was canceled for speaking out against the lie of transgenderism and now is receiving some justice after his career was destroyed for speaking the truth.

There is no Katherine Maher. I mean, she probably exists and walks around, but really, in all honesty, she is an amalgam. The danger with these kinds of people is they are being given positions of authority simply because they are human alloy. In fact, Katherine Maher doesn’t believe most of what she says; I guarantee it. She clearly articulates how white people are evil and that there is no truth, but there has obviously been training and coaching happening behind the scenes. Joy Reid is also a biological deep fake. Although, I think she actually believes what she says. Well, she may believe it, but she doesn’t live it.

Remember Jeff Tuban? In a recent tweet he criticized Justice Thomas for “minimizing the severity of January 6”. This moral high ground comes from the man who was caught masturbating on a work zoom call. If people like Jeff Tuban are our example for moral standards, do we have any hope for real moral standards? Remember the protesters who shut down the Golden Gate Bridge and imprisoned people for 5 hours, while cops did nothing? In contrast, a group of protesters who sang hymns outside of an abortion clinic and now are facing 11 years in prison. When conference call masturbators are the moral guideposts of the Mockingbird Media, maybe we shouldn’t be all that surprised.

Proverbs 4:10-27 (ESV)
10 Hear, my son, and accept my words,    that the years of your life may be many.11 I have taught you the way of wisdom;    I have led you in the paths of uprightness.12 When you walk, your step will not be hampered,    and if you run, you will not stumble.13 Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;    guard her, for she is your life.14 Do not enter the path of the wicked,    and do not walk in the way of the evil.15 Avoid it; do not go on it;    turn away from it and pass on.16 For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;    they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.17 For they eat the bread of wickedness    and drink the wine of violence.18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,    which shines brighter and brighter until full day.19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;    they do not know over what they stumble.
20 My son, be attentive to my words;    incline your ear to my sayings.21 Let them not escape from your sight;    keep them within your heart.22 For they are life to those who find them,    and healing to all their[a] flesh.23 Keep your heart with all vigilance,    for from it flow the springs of life.24 Put away from you crooked speech,    and put devious talk far from you.25 Let your eyes look directly forward,    and your gaze be straight before you.26 Ponder[b] the path of your feet;    then all your ways will be sure.27 Do not swerve to the right or to the left;    turn your foot away from evil.

Can feminism be Biblical? The way the debate on feminism is being had on social media is divisive. We will hear several different young people via social media weigh in on what they believe about this issue. Can feminism and masculinism be Biblical? I actually believe they can be IF they are not viewed through our messed up societal lens. It is important that we examine God’s Word to know our identity and have a biblical outlook on these issues.

What does God’s Word say? 
Genesis 2:15-25
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”
19 Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
But for Adam[f] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones    and flesh of my flesh;she shall be called ‘woman,’    for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
25 Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
Ephesians 5:21-33
Instructions for Christian Households
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[c] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

The Rich and the Kingdom of God
16 Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
17 “Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
18 “Which ones?” he inquired.
Jesus replied, “‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, 19 honor your father and mother,’[c] and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”
20 “All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

There are a lot of ways that health has become dissident. For instance, an image from Doctor Collen shows the biochemical reaction that statin drugs cause. Interestingly, statin drugs block the proper utilization of vitamin D in our bodies, a vitamin that was instrumental for the body to fight Covid. Health is for dissidents so be a dissident. Our food is under attack as companies coat our fruit and vegetables with chemicals to make them last longer. RFK Jr. is exactly right in his assertion that the processed food companies hand in hand with Big Pharma. Remember this, Jesus himself was a dissident.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

James and Jennifer Crumbley seem to be a mess and are probably sociopathic. They did a lot of things wrong, a lot of parents do, but buying a gun for their disturbed son, while pretending to buy it for themselves, is another thing entirely. They have also verbally attacked the families of the victims that their son killed. What struck me about this is where it occurred: north of Detroit. In this same area, there are many acts of violence perpetrated by young people who were failed by their parents. So, why are these parents on trial? I am not saying I disagree with the sentence, but I am asking, why them? Is it a race thing or something else? What about all the other kids who have gone haywire?

One thing that would make me feel better on Tax Day, that borders on revenge, is having Pfizer, Maderna, and the CDC pay back every dime they stole that they made from the covid injections. In the UK, people are talking about Pfizer being fined for making false claims. On Tax Day, it’s very frustrating to have Chris Wray refuse to answer questions asked by elected representatives. Maybe he should be fined for every day he refuses to answer these questions.

Romans 13:1-10
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Love Fulfills the Law
8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,”[a] and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b] 10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Last week, I gave a speech to a group of CEO’s and I think it was the first time I wasn’t liked by the audience. A good portion of the audience seemed uncomfortable as I talked to them about the big sort. I shared how America is being sorted psychologically, psychographically, and spiritually. I do think there is a final sorting of America taking place and I want to dig into why I believe this is. To me, this is all coming to a very binary decision, to follow God or don’t. It all becomes very spiritual.I don't’ think most people see the level that we have fallen to as a nation. 

A GENERATION OF PEOPLE WHO WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BIG MEDICINE

Luke 17:22-36  
22 Then he said to his disciples, “The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it. 23 People will tell you, ‘There he is!’ or ‘Here he is!’ Do not go running off after them. 24 For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29 But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.
30 “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day no one who is on the housetop, with possessions inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32 Remember Lot’s wife! 33 Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it. 34 I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. 35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left.”

On the topic of Dennis Prager, it appears to me that he is someone deeply confused on the topic of sexuality. After all, in society, we have men who go to extreme lengths to look like a woman, but fail miserably like you will see in today’s show. Dennis Prager, sat down and had a conversation with Dave Rubin, in which he revealed that he is really a secular humanist. He claimed that for God’s Word to be true, it has to be logical. Logical to who? God is Truth and truth cannot exist outside of logic. When he talks about homosexuality being accepted before the Bible, that’s the whole point. I also read through a few emails from listeners, one of which made me very uncomfortable, but I do my best to answer.

Matthew 5:27-30
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
Ephesians 5:25-28  - ESV
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
1 Corinthians 7:3-5 ESV  
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

Revelation 13:11-17 The Beast out of the Earth

It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. 13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

I don’t think that people have to be famous to be good podcast guests. I have been privileged to serve in the youth industry at my church and to serve under Matt McCloud. The reason I wanted to have Matt on is because I get a lot out of Matt’s sermons. He is a very gifted communicator and have watched him have an inexhaustible amount of the Holy Spirit as he serves kids. If you don’t have kids or your kids are grown, please understand that there is still a culture that your nation is going to inherit. If you want your country back, it is important to know how Satan is working in the lives of young people. I ask Matt what he believes are the big dangers in the lives of young people and we talk about what the fruit of having a genuine relationship with God looks like.

I am continually pondering and feeling very sad about a conversation I had with a dear loved one who is a woman. She is fundamentally terrified of President Trump and I think subsequently angry with me because she knows I am going to vote for him. I could have spent a lot of time going back and forth with her about it, but instead I chose to listen. There are a lot of reasons to fear the world, particularly for those who aren't connected to the vine of Christ. Lelita James is getting ready to seize some of Trump's properties because a judge has not allowed an insurance company to provide the $174 million bond for a crime that wasn’t a crime at all. You could fear that. But, that isn’t why we’d have trouble reaching women, right? Well, some people are saying that Republicans pushing back against a female prosecutor shows that they have problems with women. President Trump gave a statement about abortion saying that he may need to soften his stance on abortion. Is abortion why we have a hard time reaching women? That is certainly part of it. We explore this as we hear a comment made by Charlie Kirk about women and what the Democratic Party thinks about Christians in relation to politics.

A reality that has been stolen from young people is that the “Great Replacement Theory”, isn't a theory, it’s a practice. In fact, economic data from the American economy proves it. Your vote is being made to be less because of the open border. The belief that racial minorities in the US are languishing under racism is a widely held belief among millennials and Gen Z. The belief in this lie is another reality that has been stolen from young people. We will also discuss the myth of “using” social media. Social media is using you and you are a free employee.

John Macarthur is a super influential pastor. He has earned that position and I greatly respect him. He refused to shut his church down during the Covid psyop, but he said something about civil disobedience that blew my mind. With all due respect to Pastor Macarthur, I disagree with his statement that we as Christians cannot be involved in civil disobedience. He should probably read Harry Potter, not the book, but the Author, JK Rowling. In Scotland, it is now illegal to say that women do not have penisess. Although Rowling is not a Christian, she is aware of the lie of transgenderism and is using social media to bring it to light. John Macarthur is wrong because we live in a time where the government is demanding adherence to many things that are directly against the Word of God.

Daniel 1:8-16 8 But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. 9 Now God had caused the official to show favor and compassion to Daniel, 10 but the official told Daniel, “I am afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your[a] food and drink. Why should he see you looking worse than the other young men your age? The king would then have my head because of you.”
11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, 12 “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.” 14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
Acts 4:13-22
13 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.

John Eastmen is being disbarred from sharing his opinion that the election was rigged. Now, all of this is adding up to something that I think is fascinating in black voters.

My heart really bleeds for people under 35 because of what you are inheriting in the sense of this nation. God may turn it around, but I don’t know if He will. In this episode I ask the question, “Can you identify the government’s new ‘gods’?”. One of the ways to describe the one true God is to describe him as truth. He has also created a series of rules and ways of operating for the world. When God is truth, we can identify the new gods of the government. If you are under the age of 35, you will have to be the guardians of truth, because you will be ruled by people who do not want it to exist. We will also go through a report in the Harvard Kennedy School of Misinformation. This report shows what misinformation experts define misinformation as and reveals the mindset of such people.

We are being told that there is a plan for Christian Nationalism in the country. I have a dear family member who is terrified of this happening. Let’s just dispense with that idea right now. There can’t be Christian Nationalism if Christian Nationalism means forcing people to be Christian. It wouldn't be Christian anymore, it would be satanic. Jesus never forces anyone to believe in Him. So what would a godly government look like? One of the ways we can do this is by looking at what a godly government wouldn’t be, highlighting current examples in our world.

1 Timothy 3:1-7 Qualifications for Overseers and Deacons
3 Here is a trustworthy saying: Whoever aspires to be an overseer desires a noble task. 2 Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him, and he must do so in a manner worthy of full[a] respect. 5 (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of God’s church?) 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. 7 He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap.
Titus 1:5-9 Appointing Elders Who Love What Is Good
5 The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint[a] elders in every town, as I directed you. 6 An elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe[b] and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. 7 Since an overseer manages God’s household, he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. 8 Rather, he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. 9 He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.

He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.Luke 12:4-7
4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

So of course, I  am not shocked at all to hear the charges against Shawn P. Diddy Combs. This was an open secret, that’s a phrase we will hear a lot. If you have read the indictment, it sounds a lot like Jeff Epstein. But, it’s the warning to all of us that’s most interesting. If this is all true, P. Diddy’s terrible secrets are about to be seen by everyone, but have already been seen by God. The things that we think are hidden have been seen by God and will be shouted from the rooftops. I think this is one of the reasons that Jesus focused so much on our thoughts, because they can lead to sin.

2 Timothy 3:1-9 3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, 7 always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. 9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

The videos on TikTok that they do not want us to see, like the ones that Libs of TikTok reposts, are supposed to appear in certain silos, but silo-busting is taking place. The Party wants your kids to think what they see on platforms like TikTok are normal and good. There are info-silos that the government doesn't want us in. If you think they are only shadow banning or censoring, you are wrong, They are helping to target who sees what. I fully believe the government is helping to target content to young people so that they can create more information silos.

I have a conversation with my friend and brother, Zach Abraham, chief investment officer at Bulwark Capital Management. We started by talking about a report hidden from the Canadian people that details the RCMP’s warning of a coming revolt. And, we dive into a conversation about Easter. We look at a meme that got a lot of attention on Twitter, that Zach completely obliterates. We discuss the facts of Easter, and how in Zach’s mind we are all just like the biblical characters.

Canada’s ruling class has a fascinating idea. They’re jazzed. In 2020, one of their policy committees published a paper called Exploring Biodigital Convergence. Beyond just using biodigital organisms to store data, they want to change our attitudes and the definition of health. Your personal AI will assess your mental health and  custom make drugs for you if you’re sad. We dig into this report because it is a roadmap for what they are planning. Thomas Massi is warning about the central bank digital currency for cattle, and in Oregon, the state is shutting down family farms and providing hotlines for your neighbors to rat you out.

There is an effort to have lesser known authors' works to be read. Fair enough. But, that is a charitable view, because the literature that the Party wants to replace great literature with is that of grievance. There is too clear a pattern of what they do not want us to read vs what they want to force us to read. If you read works from Orwell and Kafka you can recognize the attack on speech, as now shown in Canada where you can be jailed for life for your speech. If you have read Don Quixote, you will recognize in Don Lemon, a man who is trying to save the world from the thing that isn’t the actual problem. If you have read Crime and Punishment, then you will be able to identify the deception of the Party in the headlines. The antidote to this is the greatest factual literature, the Bible, and our minds tuned to the great poets and writers to help us learn how to think.

One of the things we discuss is the continuing laughing stock of election integrity in our country. You either have laws or you don’t. You either enforce those laws equally or you don’t. Many of us believe that the election in 2020 was stolen and rigged. In Michigan, lawyers have been arrested for taking proof of election tampering to a sheriff. They are being criminally prosecuted for reporting crimes. And, in Chicago, 10,000 mail-in ballots have been “found” in the race for state attorney. But, it’s just not just votes that are being stolen. How fallen is society? A seventy-seven year old man is in jail because he failed to leave his home after it was stolen in a case of deed fraud. Just as ID isn’t required to vote, ID isn’t required to change the information of the deed of your home.What does

I don’t often have the opportunity to listen to commentators like Andrew Klavan. With God having blessed us to do this program at the volume we do, you can watch content or you can produce it. But, in my show research Andrew plays a big role. I stand on the side of the Bible being the complete and inerrant word of God. If some parts of the Bible don’t count, no parts of the Bible count. And yet, some smart people discount large portions of it. On his show, Andrew Klavan shared some of his views as a Jewish man who has converted to Catholicism. We also take a look at the trailer for a movie based on Eric Metaxas’ book Letter To The American Church. He is a proponent of the fact that the American church is where the German church was leading up to the Holocaust. I also asked Gemini to defend Darwinism vs Intelligent Design.

Speaker Mike Johnson: I believe he loves the Lord Jesus, but as I say in the title of this episode, I don’t think that He trusts Jesus. If you trust Jesus, how could you give in on passing a bill that denies the Lord Jesus on every front and is adverse to everything He calls good. How do you trust Jesus and give into a timeline? If only we knew the Lord was still in charge. Chip Roy is calling out social conservative groups for caring more about political power than standing up for their causes. Although, there is no such thing as a social conservative. Because of this time crunch, speaker Johnson has also funded the continuing of the lie of transgenderism and the harm being done by that lie. And, we are seeing repeated cases of criminals, who should not be in the country, raping people. Not all immigrants are criminals, and we aren't to live in fear. I don’t fear this because I trust Jesus. In Massachusetts, the Governor was asked about a disabled girl who was raped by an illegal immigrant and you will be shocked to hear her answer.

Should I let them inquire of me at all? 4 Therefore speak to them and tell them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When any of the Israelites set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block before their faces and then go to a prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself in keeping with their great idolatry. 5 I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.’

On Friday, Barack Obama stood beside a decrepit man that we are supposed to refer to as President to celebrate the passage of a law that young people barely remember. It is destroying their bodies, minds, and souls. That law is Obamacare. There have been attempts to scrap it and some aspects have been changed, but the destruction that this law wrought is still in place. It began with a change of who doctors are. One of the goals of Obamacare was to make sure doctors are no longer independent. We can see this playing out through Covid. Another goal of Obamacare was to take away power from doctors to treat you holistically. Now, when you walk into the doctor, you are lucky to get ten minutes with them as they type away on an iPad. We also take a look at footage from one of the creators of Obamacare as he talks about hiding the funding mechanisms of the law and calls the American people “stupid”.

We’re going to go through the steps in this Mad Max run-up. You know Letitia James, she is seeking to destroy the political opposition of the Democrats. Of course she is corrupt. The American Irish Historical Society falsified the worth of their properties, took out loans on the falsified worth, and then didn't pay the loans back. This is exactly what President Trump has been accused of and what Letitia James is trying to prosecute him for, but he is not going after the society and in fact, defended them. Another step in this Mad Max run-up is what is happening at the southern border. If you don't have laws you have moods. When you are ruled by mood, pretty soon you are ruled by mob. The next step would be to limit our access to fuels and food. Oh wait, they are doing just that.

Can Christians watch the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight? I examine this as we go through the show, and process this live. It’s not that I have a huge problem with violence, except I am a discipled man. These two men are fighting each other for money, it’s a sport. I don’t even have a problem with MMA, but there is something about this fight that leaves me questioning whether I should watch it. We take a biblical look at this because the Bible is useful for teaching and correction. Towards the end of the program I came to a conclusion that surprised me. We also take some time to hear veteran’s stories  of godly use of justified force.

Everyone can see the receipts that the drug addicted son of the family is out peddling the influence of the country. The receipts include bank transfers, webs of LLCs to hide the transactions, and other kinds of fraud. As this is investigated in this fictional tv show, half of the politicians looking into this are pretending they can’t see what is sitting in front of them. Oh wait, it isn’t fiction is it?

It appears that sixty percent of neighborhoods will be brought up by hedge funds by 2036.

One of the things that young people have been told is that all cultures are equally valuable. This is not true. We start at the mico-culture, the most important culture: family. Not all family cultures are equally valuable. Right now, what is happening in India is a sign of a failing culture, as the country’s rape crisis continues and the number of victims soar. We are importing people into our country who come from cultures with values that are less valuable than our own. The people aren’t bad, but their cultures are less valuable. We also talk about the culture of envy and victimhood and a city employee who says it terrifies her to death when white children stare at her.

I ask the question "What does “being a Christian” mean, actually?”, because many young people are investigating Christianity. Praise God! Except, Satan loves to use the trick of believing in God to tell you you’re good and do not need to change the way you live. We examine the things that determine if you are actually a Christian and if you are being transformed by Jesus. When social media and entertainment say there are many ways to God, it is important to know what things are salvation issues. We also talk about the ways Jesus is portrayed in our culture.

Matthew 15:1-20Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”3 Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’[a] and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’[b] 5 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is ‘devoted to God,’ 6 they are not to ‘honor their father or mother’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:8 “‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.

9 They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.’[c]”10 Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen and understand. 11 What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.”12 Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?”13 He replied, “Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. 14 Leave them; they are blind guides.[d] If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”15 Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”
