  1. A Nazi Knocks on Your Door. Do You Tell the Truth? Ep 200

    4d ago

    A Nazi Knocks on Your Door. Do You Tell the Truth? Ep 200

    Is it ever okay for a Christian to lie? If a Nazi officer knocks on your door asking about the family hiding in your house, what do you say? James picked this one after a Christian book club insisted every lie is a sin, no exceptions. We dig into Rahab, the Hebrew midwives, Michal helping David escape, and what the ninth commandment actually says. This isn't a license to deceive for your own gain. That's always sin. But God's law was never meant to be a weapon in the hands of evildoers. Where do you land? Drop your thoughts in the comments and we may read them on a future Monday episode.

  2. Some Christians Lose Their Faith When Prayers Go Unanswered. Here's the Piece They're Missing. Ep 199

    Some Christians Lose Their Faith When Prayers Go Unanswered. Here's the Piece They're Missing. Ep 199

    Have you ever prayed with everything in you, believed without a doubt, and then watched the answer go the other way? I've walked alongside people whose faith fell apart in that exact moment, and I think it's because we've been handed a definition of faith the Bible never actually gave us. In this episode we go straight to Scripture. To Abraham. To Mary at the foot of the cross. To three young men in front of a blazing furnace who said, "but even if he does not." True faith was never deciding what God should do and believing hard enough to make it happen. It's trusting who He is when you can't see what He's doing. Grab your Bible and pull up a chair. This one might change the way you pray.

  3. Your Kids Trust AI Completely. That Should Terrify You. Ep 198

    Your Kids Trust AI Completely. That Should Terrify You. Ep 198

    Is AI actually making us smarter, or is it quietly making us dumber? That's the question I couldn't shake this week. We've handed our kids machines that answer every question instantly, and we call them smart for knowing how to use them. But if a computer remembers, calculates, writes, and thinks for you, what happens to your own mind? Are we outsourcing the very struggle God designed to grow wisdom in us? Here's the danger: AI doesn't just get things wrong. It gets them spectacularly wrong while sounding absolutely certain. And if you don't know the truth for yourself, you'll never catch it. In this episode I make the case that critical thinking just became a survival skill, then James joins me to react to some clips you won't want to miss, ending with one of the most powerful testimonies of a changed life I've ever heard. Test everything. Hold fast to what is good. And don't rely on a machine to do your thinking for you.

  4. Is Kathryn Krick a Real Apostle? Don't Believe Everything You See. Ep 197

    Is Kathryn Krick a Real Apostle? Don't Believe Everything You See. Ep 197

    Is Kathryn Krick a real apostle of God, or is she deceiving millions? That's the question my son James dropped in my lap, and I could not look away. He pulled together her whole story, from chasing an acting career in Hollywood to the viral "deliverance" videos casting out demons in front of hundreds of millions of views, and we sat down to work through all of it together. Here's what I keep coming back to. The hurting people in those videos are not the enemy. They're broken, they're searching, and someone is handing them a false hope wrapped up in the name of Jesus. That's the part that breaks my heart. So in this episode I walk you through the five-point discernment test I use to tell the real thing from a counterfeit, straight out of Scripture. Because false prophets are everywhere, and Jesus told us plainly that we would know them by their fruit.

  5. Stop Trying to Pay God Back. That Was Never the Plan. Ep 196

    Sep 7

    Stop Trying to Pay God Back. That Was Never the Plan. Ep 196

    If Jesus already did everything necessary to save you, why bother trying to be good anymore? Why fight sin so hard? Why forgive the person who hurt you? Why do the right thing when nobody's watching? Here's the beautiful answer. We don't obey God so that he will save us. We obey him because he already has. In this devotional I open up Romans 6, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the difference between Jesus dying for us and Jesus living for us, the perfect life you and I never could. Grace comes first, gratitude follows, and our good works are simply that gratitude made visible.

    Dolly Parton Has Died. Here's the Story Behind "I Will Always Love You" That Most People Never Heard Ep 195

    The Queen of country music is gone. Dolly Parton passed away at 80, and I couldn't let the week end without honoring her, because her life holds a lesson every artist and dreamer needs to hear. Most people know "I Will Always Love You" as a love song, but Dolly wrote it as a goodbye to the man who gave her one of her biggest breaks. When Elvis later came calling and his manager demanded half the publishing rights, she said no. It broke her heart, but she wouldn't surrender what God had given her, and years later Whitney Houston turned that same song into one of the greatest vocal performances in history. Dirt poor in the Smoky Mountains, nearly 60 years married to one man, faithful to the end. Her story is a powerful reminder to steward the gift He's placed in your hands. Rest in peace, Dolly. We will always love you.

  7. Your Kids Are Being Sold a Lie About Communism. Here's How to Reach Them. Ep 194

    Your Kids Are Being Sold a Lie About Communism. Here's How to Reach Them. Ep 194

    Something strange is happening in America. I'm actually starting to agree with Bill Maher. Communism gave the world bread lines, gulags, and the deaths of millions, and yet it's becoming attractive to young people all over again. Before we roll our eyes and say these kids just don't know history, I want to ask a better question: why are they still reaching for it? In this episode I dig into what young people are really longing for, why the promises of socialism sound so compassionate, and why Christianity offers something far better than either greedy capitalism or government confiscation. Here's the heart of it: communism tries to build a better society by redistributing possessions, but God builds a better people by transforming hearts. Nobody has to seize a Christian's property to make him generous. I'll leave you with one action step to try with a young person in your life this week. Give it a listen, and God bless you.

    A Christian's Honest Look at Death, Fear, and What Comes Next Ep 193

    If I'm honest with you, I don't want to die. I love this life. My wife, my kids, my work, that first cup of coffee and the sound of my rooster in the backyard. And yet I know there's a day on God's calendar with my name on it. Death has been on my heart lately. Losing people close to me has a way of bringing it into focus, and it drove me back to my Bible with a hard question: how should a Christian actually think about death? What I found may have been the thing I had wrong my whole life. Thanks for letting me share this one. Subscribe, and drop your question in the comments for a future show. God bless you.

  9. EP: 400 Hell, the 80s, and the Family of God with Kirk Cameron

    EP: 400 Hell, the 80s, and the Family of God with Kirk Cameron

    Kirk Cameron steps into the Blurry Creatures 80s basement for a conversation that covers as much ground as his career has decades. Fresh off the viral firestorm of what he's calling "Hellgate," a father and son discussion on his show that turned into a two and a half hour scholarly roundtable on the nature of hell, Kirk walks us through the debate between eternal conscious torment and conditional immortality, why he thinks the church needs to stop shutting down hard questions, and how Augustine's Greek philosophy may have shaped what most Christians assume the Bible says about the afterlife. He also opens up about his journey from teenage atheist to believer at 17, right in the middle of filming one of the most iconic family sitcoms of all time.But this isn't just a theology episode. It's a ride through the 80s, Growing Pains behind-the-scenes stories, meeting William Shatner (the man he was literally named after), competing with Michael J. Fox through a cameraman, and the Ambisol-fueled first kiss with the woman who became his wife of 35 years. Kirk also shares a wild supernatural story from his son James on the Crow reservation in Montana, his niece's stunning connection to a twin lost in miscarriage, and why he believes the biggest problem in the church isn't bad theology. It's that people don't believe God actually loves them. From spiritual warfare to Richard Stabone, this one has it all. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Hayden Panettiere Died at 36. Here's the Real Killer Behind These Tragedies. Ep 192

    When I heard that Hayden Panettiere died at just 36, it stopped me in my tracks. I grew up in that same world, and I watched too many of my own friends get crushed by it. Corey Haim. River Phoenix. Andrew Koenig, who played my best friend Boner on Growing Pains. Different people, different families, but the same devastating pattern. In this episode I want to talk about what I believe is really behind so many of these tragedies: the loss of childhood, and why protecting it may matter more than almost anything else.

    Will You Even Recognize Yourself in Heaven? Ep 190

    What kind of body will you have in heaven? Will you eat, feel gravity, break a bone, or just float around like Casper the Friendly Ghost? In this devotional I turn to 1 Corinthians 15, where Paul answers with an acorn. You bury a little seed and up comes an oak tree, and that's you and the body God has waiting for you. This one belongs to the dust, but what's coming is an upgrade you can never lose. So don't cling to what God never meant to last forever. Take care of the body you've got, then get to work.

    Why Isn't the Book of Enoch in the Bible? The Answer Will Surprise You. Ep 166

    How did we actually get the Bible? Was it cooked up in a smoke filled room by bishops in black robes, or is the Da Vinci Code right that Constantine and the Council of Nicaea just slapped it together? I'm answering that question head on today, and the real story is so much more powerful than the conspiracy theories give it credit for. We're talking about why Ecclesiastes made the cut and the Book of Enoch didn't, why the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Peter got left out (you have to hear what's actually in those, it's wild), and what the church's real role was in recognizing Scripture versus creating it. The Bible has survived emperors, skeptics, and a few too many cable specials trying to pair Jesus up with Mary Magdalene. It's still standing, and it always will.

    $1.8 Trillion in Debt. Is a College Degree Even Worth It Anymore? Ep 191

    Is college still worth it? That question would've sounded crazy to my parents and grandparents, who were all educators. And back in 1970, a degree really was the golden ticket. But the world has changed. This week James and I sit down for another dangerous conversation about the numbers that stopped us both cold, the lie young people are being sold, and why so many of the most successful folks never finished college.

    Flock Cameras: Safety or Surveillance State? Ep 188

    Right now, cameras you've probably never noticed are tracking where you go, who you see, and when you leave the house. They're called Flock cameras, and the promise is a reasonable one: they help police catch criminals and find missing children. And they do, but there is a far bigger conversation hidden behind that promise. The trouble is that these cameras are not only watching the bad guys. They are watching all of us. So the real question is not whether this technology can do good. It is what happens when we hand that kind of power to the government and simply trust them to use it well. James and I sit down to work through the tension between safety and freedom, and why the true problem was never the camera at all. It is the human heart.

    The Bible calls love a verb, not a feeling. Here's why that changes everything. Ep 182

    We say "I love you" all the time, to friends, to family, to the people closest to us. But what do we actually mean when we say it? In this episode, James and I dig into one of the biggest, most-used, and most-misunderstood words there is. Is love a feeling you fall into and fall out of, or is it a choice you make even when you don't feel like it? We get into why the Bible calls love a verb instead of a feeling, and why staying quiet while someone you care about walks toward destruction isn't kindness, it's toxic empathy. In the end, it all comes back to the cross. Editing and production services provided by thepodcastupload.com Interested in sponsoring The Kirk Cameron Show?

    Why Everyone Is Suddenly a Narcissist Episode 177

    What if the therapy language we hear every day is quietly training us to worship ourselves? In this episode I step into the space between pop psychology and biblical counseling and ask whether we can study the brain without surrendering the soul. We talk about why "your truth" makes a terrible savior, why "just pray harder" is lazy counsel, and how neuroscience is catching up to what Scripture has said all along about taking your thoughts captive and renewing your mind. I also share why Dr. Lee Warren's work on self-brain surgery has been so helpful to me.

    You're Not Free. Here's What's Actually Enslaving You Ep 172

    What if the "freedom" our culture is selling is actually a prison? Everywhere you look, the message is the same: live for yourself, follow your heart, answer to no one. So why is everyone more anxious, more addicted, and more alone than ever? In this morning devotional, I dig into what the Bible says real freedom looks like, and why God's boundaries are less like prison bars and more like railroad tracks.

    God Designed the Family First. We Keep Treating It Last. Ep 187

    A celebrity welcomes her first baby at 50, another at 54, and the message is loud and clear: it's never too late, you can have it all. But the headlines rarely mention the IVF, donor eggs, and surrogacy behind those stories. Today I want to talk about God's design for family and why postponing it "until the timing is right" is one of the oldest lies our culture tells young people. Children aren't accessories you add after the career and the bucket list. They're image bearers of God, and His timing has always been wiser than ours.

    Nolan Didn't Tell Homer's Story. Here's What Hollywood Erased Ep 184

    I just took my kids to see Christopher Nolan's Odyssey in IMAX, and it might be one of the biggest movies of the year and one of the biggest storytelling blunders of his career. Nolan didn't tell Homer's story. He stripped out the magic, swapped the heroes, and turned a tale about love and honor into one about guilt and shame. So this week I break down what he got wrong, and why I actually believe in gods, monsters, and an enchanted world, just not the way you'd expect. Because deep down, every one of us is on an epic journey home, and the Bible tells that story better than any movie ever could.
