    Truthstream | The Day After Elections

    THE DAY AFTER ELECTIONS Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney | Reader James Ellington God Turns a Nation Over to Its Passions For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. (Romans 1:18) Months ago, I sensed the Lord impressing upon my heart that America was being given over to the consequences of its own rebellion and depraved ideologies, much as Scripture describes when a people persistently reject His truth and exchange it for the desires of fallen hearts. Because of that conviction, as my family gathered in prayer yesterday before the counting of votes began, my prayer was not centered on a conservative victory or a particular political outcome. Rather, I asked that the Bride of Christ be prepared for what may lie ahead. Whether the days before us bring cultural decline, increasing hostility toward biblical truth, or seasons of profound testing, my prayer was that believers would be strengthened in faith, purified in devotion to Yeshua, and equipped to stand firm with courage, holiness, and unwavering dependence upon the Lord. More than preserving a nation, I prayed for the readiness of Christ’s Church to endure, overcome, and shine as a faithful witness in what may prove to be its darkest hours.

    Truthstream | Identity Politics | Voting Righteously

    VOTING RIGHTEOUSLY Featuring Script Reader James Ellington | Author Dr. Stephen Phinney   James Ellington steps behind the microphone with a voice built for moments like this—steady, resonant, and unafraid to speak into the drift of a nation losing its moral center. In this special episode of Voting Righteously, he delivers the script with the weight of a herald calling the church back from its slumber. As America fades into liberal doctrines that blur truth and erode conviction, Ellington’s reading for Dr. Phinney becomes a clarion call: a reminder that righteousness is not a political accessory but a biblical mandate. His tone carries both urgency and hope, urging believers to anchor their civic engagement in Scripture rather than cultural tides. In a generation where the church has grown lukewarm—comfortable, quiet, and often complicit—Dr. Phinney's’s delivery cuts through the fog with pastoral authority. He speaks to listeners like a watchman on the wall, warning that a nation cannot survive on borrowed virtue or diluted faith. Voting Righteously becomes more than an episode; it becomes a summons. Through Ellington’s voice, the message confronts apathy, rekindles courage, and calls the people of God to stand firm, vote biblically, and refuse to bow to the doctrines that have dimmed America’s spiritual flame.

    Truthstream iX | Pergamon | Is It the New America? (Part Four)

    PERGAMON | IS IT THE NEW AMERICA? Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney   As we conclude our Hollow Weeny series, we’ve traced Halloween's ancient deceptions back to their spiritual source—an altar built to glorify fear, death, and the corruption of innocence. From the rituals of the ancient world to the modern celebrations wrapped in costumes and candy, the enemy’s strategy has remained painfully consistent: disguise darkness as entertainment and normalize what once belonged to the worship of false gods. Our journey through the shadows of Halloween has revealed that its roots are not harmless, not accidental, and not spiritually neutral. They are part of a long‑standing campaign to desensitize the world to the very things Yeshua came to conquer. And now, in our final episode—Pergamon: Is It the New America?—we turn our attention to a sobering question. When a culture begins to celebrate what God condemns, when it elevates self, pleasure, and spiritual confusion, and when it trades truth for spectacle, it starts to resemble the same patterns once found in the city Yeshua identified as the seat of Satan’s throne. This conclusion is not about politics; it is about spiritual architecture. It calls believers to discern the times, recognize ancient shadows rising in modern forms, and stand firm in the light of Yeshua’s truth. Halloween's deceptions may be old, but the Church’s calling is timeless: expose the darkness, proclaim the gospel, and walk as children of the day. Thank you for listening.

    Truthstream iX | Pergamon | Tree of Knowledge (Part 3)

    TREE OF KNOWLEDGE | ADVANCING DEMONIC IMAGERY Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney   Throughout October, Dr. Stephen Phinney unveils a gripping, historic journey into one of Scripture’s most unsettling locations—Pergamon, the Temple of Hollow Weeny. Each week, you’ll step into the ancient world Yeshua Himself identified as “where Satan’s throne is,” and discover how its dark legacy threads directly into the modern celebration of Halloween. In this episode, Dr. Phinney reveals that many believers are duped into advancing the very faces of Satan simply because they do not recognize how subtle his strategies have become. Just as Balaam seduced Israel through participation rather than open rebellion, the enemy now disguises darkness in cultural traditions, entertainment, and “harmless” celebrations that seem innocent on the surface. Without discernment, Christians end up promoting imagery, rituals, and narratives that glorify fear, death, and rebellion against God—never realizing they are lending their voice, their influence, and even their children to the enemy’s agenda. Satan doesn’t need believers to worship him outright; he only needs them to participate without thinking. And in that participation, the faces of darkness are advanced by the very people called to expose them. Thank you for listening.

    Truthstream iX | Pergamon - Halloween | Doctrines of Balaam (Part Two)

    HOLLOW WEENY | DOCTRINES OF BALAAM Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney   Throughout October, Dr. Stephen Phinney takes you on a gripping, historic journey into one of Scripture’s most unsettling locations—Pergamon, the Temple of Hollow Weeny. Each week, you’ll step into the ancient world Yeshua Himself identified as “where Satan’s throne is,” and discover how its dark legacy threads directly into the modern celebration of Halloween. Today's episode reveals that the doctrine of Balaam is one of the most sobering warnings in Scripture, because it reveals how Satan works when he cannot destroy God’s people through direct assault. Balaam could not curse Israel, so he devised a strategy to corrupt them from within—seduction, mixture, and compromise. He taught Balak to lure Israel into idolatry through enticement, pleasure, and participation in pagan rituals. Instead of attacking the covenant head‑on, Balaam weakened it through cultural assimilation. This doctrine becomes a spiritual blueprint: when the enemy cannot defeat God’s people by force, he entices them to join the darkness willingly. Balaam’s tactic was simple—make sin look attractive, make idolatry look harmless, and make participation feel normal. Thank you for listening.

    Truthstream iX | Pergamon | Halloween Series - Part One

    PERGAMON | THE ALTAR OF ZEUS Featuring Dr. Stephen Phinney Dr. Stephen Phinney unveils a gripping, real historical journey into one of Scripture’s most unsettling locations—Pergamon, the Temple of Hollow Weeny. Each week, you’ll step into the ancient world Yeshua Himself identified as “where Satan’s throne is,” and discover how its dark legacy threads directly into the modern celebration of Halloween. In this first episode of our Hollow Weeny series, we step into the shadowed heights of ancient Pergamon—home to the massive Altar of Zeus, the very place Yeshua identified as “where Satan’s throne is.” Today, we uncover how this altar became a symbol of the enemy’s oldest ambition: to claim worship through the destruction of innocence. From the ancient world to our modern age, Satan has sought to sacrifice children to the so‑called king of the gods, weaving a dark thread through history that still echoes in today’s cultural celebrations. Part One lays the foundation—exposing the altar, revealing the agenda, and calling the Church to discernment in a season when darkness masquerades as tradition. Join us for the full four-part series, each Wednesday in October. Consider donating to help keep our content free: DONATE     Thank you for joining us on the Truthstream Podcast Network.

    Truthstream iX Podcast | Misuse of Philippians 4:13 | Shepherd Wagner (Part Two)

    MISUSE OF PHILIPPIANS 4:13 Featuring Shepherd Wagner & Dr. Stephen Phinney In Part Two of their powerful series, Dr. Stephen Phinney and Shepherd Wagner continue their deep dive into the cultural abuse of Philippians 4:13. Building on the foundation laid in the first episode, they expose how today’s Post‑Truth climate reshapes Scripture to serve self‑defined desires and personal narratives. Together, they reveal how this beloved verse is often lifted out of its context and used as a spiritual endorsement for self‑empowerment, ambition, and identity‑driven agendas—rather than Paul’s original message of Christ‑centered contentment and dependence. This episode confronts the growing trend of remaking Yeshua into a figure who simply affirms whatever the culture demands. Dr. Phinney and Wagner show how this distortion encourages believers to pursue the self‑life under the banner of “faith,” using Philippians 4:13 as permission rather than submission. Part Two calls listeners back to the real Jesus of Scripture—the One who strengthens us to endure, obey, and remain faithful, not the cultural imitation crafted to validate personal preference. This is a timely, urgent conversation for anyone seeking truth in an age of spiritual counterfeits. Visit Shepherd Wagner's Substack HERE. Thank you for joining us on the Truthstream Podcast Network.
