Why the Church Drifted: Scripture vs History | CROSSWIRED | #8

Church history deep dive (Part 2): Constantine's councils, trinity codification, no unbroken papal line, pagan influences, Reformation extremes, and how they've shifted us from Acts' clear pattern—repent, baptize in Jesus' name, receive Holy Ghost with tongues. Scripture alone vs man-made lenses. #ChurchHistory #FirstCenturyChurch #ActsPattern #JesusName #HolyGhostEvidence #SolaScriptura #NicaeaCouncil #Constantine #OneGod #BaptismTruth #CrosswiredPodcast #BibleAuthority #EndAddedDoctrines #ApostolicTruth

Scripture Alone vs Church Traditions & Creeds | CROSSWIRED | #7

Church history unpacked: From pure apostolic patterns in Acts to early creeds, Catholic dominance, Reformation swings, and 40,000+ denominations today. Scripture as sole authority or man-made additions? Deep dive into drifts—trinity debates, faith vs works, extra rules—and call back to Bible foundations. #ChurchHistory #SolaScriptura #ActsChurch #BibleAuthority #EarlyChurchDrift #CrosswiredPodcast

Charlie Kirk's Death: Revival or Division? | CROSSWIRED | #6

Charlie Kirk's tragic death: martyr for faith or politics? We discuss the national awakening, people turning to Jesus, bold gospel preaching at his funeral, ditching legalism, open vs closed-hand doctrines, and why truth is a Person (Jesus), not rules or traditions. Raw stories on hypocrisy, freedom in honesty, and expanding God's kingdom. No fluff. #CharlieKirk #ChristianAwakening #BoldFaith #RevivalNow #JesusIsTruth #DitchLegalism #OpenHandDoctrine #KingdomOfGod #FaithOverRules #CrosswiredPodcast #RealChristianTalk #TruthIsAPerson #GospelBoldness #HonestyInFaith #EndLegalism

Why God Allows Suffering & Old Testament “Genocide” | CROSSWIRED | #5

Why does a good God command genocide in the Old Testament and allow children to suffer today? We tackle the hardest objection to Christianity head-on: divine sovereignty, the Canaanite conquest, child sacrifice cults, the cup of wrath, Job’s furnace, and how personal tragedies (lost babies, drowning miracles, sudden death) reveal God’s bigger story. Raw, honest, no sugarcoating. #ChristianPodcast #ProblemOfEvil #OldTestamentViolence #CanaaniteConquest #WhyGodAllowsSuffering #SovereigntyOfGod #BookOfJob #DivineJustice #FaithAndSuffering #CrosswiredPodcast #Theodicy #BibleQuestions #HardFaith #GodIsGood #RealTalkChristianity

Is Santa Satan In Disguise?? | CROSSWIRED | #4

Is celebrating Christmas as a Christian actually okay… or are we accidentally (or deliberately) honoring pagan gods, Nimrod, Saturnalia, and the devil himself? In this wild, funny, and surprisingly deep episode the guys go FULL send on the Christmas controversy: December 25th: pagan sun-god birthday or legit early-church “calculation hypothesis” for Jesus’ birth? Jeremiah 10 Christmas trees = straight-up idolatry… or total stretch? Santa Claus = Saint Nicholas or Satan with an anagram and flying reindeer (thanks Odin)? Alexander Hislop’s “Two Babylons” exposé: groundbreaking truth or 19th-century conspiracy fan-fiction? Constantine Christianizing pagan holidays… good move or great compromise? Can you accidentally worship the devil with an Elf on the Shelf and twinkly lights? Why Paul would probably tell both the “Christmas is pagan!!” crowd and the “ugly-sweater legalists” to chill out (Romans 14 / Colossians 2:16) #Christmas #IsChristmasPagan #SantaOrSatan #ChristianHolidays #JesusIsTheReason #Crosswired #BibleStudy #PaganRoots #Jeremiah10 #Constantine #ElfOnTheShelf #ChristianPodcast

#3 - CROSSWIRED | Abraham, Israel & the Resurrection: What Still Matters...

Is the Abrahamic covenant still in effect for ethnic Jews today — even the secular ones? Does blessing modern Israel equal blessing Abraham’s seed? What about preterism, the feasts, the rapture, and the resurrection? In this nearly 2-hour round-table, we wrestle with tough questions: Who exactly carries the Genesis 12 blessing in 2025? Is the modern state of Israel prophetically the same as biblical Israel? Has most prophecy already been fulfilled (preterism), or are we still waiting on major events? Why the apostles preached the physical resurrection more than almost anything else The difference between fear-driven end-times teaching and genuine biblical hope Salvation, grace, works, the thief on the cross, and why hell is ultimately a choice If you’ve ever wondered where the modern church has overcomplicated (or oversimplified) prophecy, covenants, Israel, and the resurrection — this conversation cuts through the noise with Scripture, honesty, and zero fearmongering. Perfect for anyone tired of date-setting and ready for real biblical clarity. #EndTimes #AbrahamicCovenant #Resurrection #Israel #ChristianTheology #BiblicalProphecy

#2 - CROSSWIRED | The TRUTH About God’s Chosen People!

Are modern Christians obligated to “bless Israel” no matter what? We dive DEEP into the Tucker Carlson vs Ted Cruz controversy, Kurt Cameron’s take, and the one question almost nobody is asking: When Genesis 12:3 says “I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you,” who exactly is God talking to in 2025 — the blood descendants of Abraham, the spiritual seed in Christ, or the modern nation-state of Israel? We unpack: The Abrahamic covenant: conditional or unconditional? Romans 11 and the olive tree – are the natural branches permanently broken off? Why the physical land of Canaan/Israel matters more than you’ve ever been told (Eden, Noah, Deuteronomy 32 worldview, serpent-crushing redemption) Can you criticize Israeli government actions without being “anti-Semitic” or “cursing” Israel? The difference between blessing Israel politically vs blessing the seed of Abraham spiritually

#1 - CROSSWIRED | It’s OK To Argue The Bible!!

Debating the craziest Bible hot takes: Was Pentecost on Solomon’s Porch, not the upper room? Did fallen angels really breed giants? Were there humans BEFORE Adam? Cain’s wife mystery solved with 900-year baby math? Vitamin K circumcision proof, empty tomb receipts, and why questioning sacred cows doesn’t make you a heretic. No filter, no fear—just brothers wrestling scripture like Bereans. Truth wins. Christ is King. 🇺🇸✝️ #BibleDebate #GiantsInGenesis #PentecostFire #PreAdamites #BereanGang #ChristIsKing
