The church in America today generally communicates with the culture in one of two ways. Either we preach the gospel without regard to the cultural and personal context, or we simply react defensively to the symptomatic cultural ills. Therefore, God often comes across as largely irrelevant to the everyday life of the average American. Consequently, the culture ends up regarding us, along with God, as out of touch or, even worse, dangerous. In light of this, if the Bible is true, and God really exists, we must conclude we have failed to effectively communicate God to our culture. Our hope is that through this podcast we can all learn to use the symptomatic felt issues within our culture as springboards to address what underlies the cultural mindset in which we live and breathe, our view of God. What we believe to be true about God will determine how we live and relate to those around us .

This podcast was created specifically for the listener who ardently desires to bring about wholesale change within the American cultural mindset. It is designed with the listener who wishes to help frame the message that could ultimately allow us to win the war, not just individual battles. It is designed for the listener who wants to put the cornerstone, God himself, back into his proper place as the foundation upon which the American social and moral experience can be erected once again. It’s time to return to the basics, but in a relevant and understandable manner. We will only win the war for the soul of America by making God the central issue within the culture. There is no longer any other way to win. Our hope is that this weekly podcast conversation will help us to frame the “God” issue in a way that our fellow Americans can more readily understand and except. We trust that our conversation will help us collectively to recapture the soul of America so we may become the nation that is a shining light on a hill. That was the dream of our forefathers, and it is our dream as well. Our prayer is that we may understand our times and know what to do. Thanks for tuning in to the “God is the Issue” podcast .

    Governor goes from Crazy to Dangerous --- Especially if you’re black!

    Governor goes from Crazy to Dangerous --- Especially if you’re black!

    This is Brad Bright and the GITI podcast where we show how God is the issue in every issue.

    We can trace all our human problems to a broken view of God.

     

    And that’s why we say that the problem in America today is not

    that there it too much darkness, The problem is there is not enough
    light.

    Today we are talking about what the Gov. of New Mexico did and said last week.

    Politicians often say crazy things, but New Mexico Gov. Lujan Grisham

    recently crossed the line, from crazy to dangerous! 

     

    Honestly, I don’t think she even realizes the implications of what she said

    and the devastating cultural implications. 

    But by the end of this podcast, you will,  
    and you will know what you can do! 


    What’s the solution?

    YOU are the solution.

    Only YOU can bring God back
    into the conversation in your home,

    your neighborhood, and your community.

    The choice is simple.

    The choice is yours.

    You can start this coming Halloween by giving the children who knock on your door,
    both what they want and what they need.

    Give them a piece of candy   
    along with your favorite gospel tract for children.

    If you don’t have a favorite, then go to BrightMedia.org

    and order a pack of the 4Keys4Kids in English or

    Cuatro LLaves Para Niños in Spanish.  

    Do it because you care about America.
    Do it because you care about gun violence.

    Do it because you care about children.


    God is the issue—in every issue.

    The One Good Thing About ChatGPT Twisting The Bible

    The One Good Thing About ChatGPT Twisting The Bible

    With Brad Bright.  Speaker & Author.

    As always, Like & Subscribe if you have found this podcast
    helpful.

    A lot of Christians are reacting
    again.

    This time, because some folks are
    using

      
    ChatGPT to rewrite the Bible.

    Now, of course, that’s not a good
    thing…

     

    However, I’m encouraged. Let me explain
    why.

     

    Oscar Wilde, who wrote The Picture
    of Dorian Gray, said,

       “Imitation is the
    sincerest form of flattery”

    Most of us have heard that quote,

       and maybe even
    uttered it.

     

    However, that is not the complete quote.

    Mr. Wilde’s full statement is a bit more—

       shall we say, descriptive.


    But I will circle back to that in a few moments.

     

    First, let me say, that if Oscar Wilde was right,

       then Christians
    should feel very flattered.

     

     

    So, if you are concerned about ChatGPT
    twisting scriptures,

      
    start viewing it as an opportunity to

      
    engage the people around you in spiritual conversations

      
    about what the Bible DOES say.

    Not by LECTURING them with your finger
    in the air,

      
    but by graciously offering them something better.

     

    However, unlike the federal government,

      
    you can’t give away what you don’t own.

    So, make sure you are daily and weekly,

      
    equipping yourself to have those spiritual conversations,

      
       by being in God’s Word.

     

    God is the issue—in every issue.

    So, let’s use ChatGPt

      
    to go out and MAKE him the issue.

    03:01 PETA used ChatGPT to give
    the Book of Genesis a vegan makeover

    04:02 Complete Oscar Wilde’s quote

    06:01 Next time ChatGPT comes up with
    another FAKE imitation of the Bible

    09:28 If you don’t know what the Bible
    says, you can’t easily have those conversations.

    It's Only a Tiny Piece of Dog Poop ...

    This is Brad Bright and the God is the Issue Podcast….

     

    The problem in America today is
    not that there is too much darkness,

    The problem is there is not enough
    light.



    You see, we can trace all our
    human problems

    to a broken view of God.

    That is why we always say, God is the issue—in every issue.

     

     

    A friend gives you a bottle of
    pure spring water.

    As you are getting ready to drink
    it they say,…..

     

    How much dog poop is too much,

    before you say you won’t drink it?


    Remember, the problem in America

    is not that there is too much darkness. 

    The problem is there is not enough light.

    Together we can make a difference.

     

    God is the issue—in every issue.

     

    00:00   Intro:

    00:31 Imagine coming back from a
    long hike.

    1:09  BABYLONE BEE article

    7:00  If someone PUBLICLY DEMEANED your SPOUSE,

    how would that make you feel?

    9:58 So why do you think many
    followers of Jesus

    have no problem watching movies that
    demean the name of Jesus?

    10:28 How do you think God feels when
    someone blasphemes his name?

    12:09 When God’s people do not
    honor God’s name, do you think he feels like pouring out his blessings on us?

    THE BORDER, COMPASSION, AND JESUS

    THE BORDER, COMPASSION, AND JESUS

    The problem in America is not that there is too much
    darkness,

    The problem is there is not enough light.

    That is why God is the issue—in every issue.

     

    Today I will be talking about the Border, Compassion and
    Jesus.

    I am going to talk about what’s going on at the border,

    what it means to be compassionate on this issue, and what Jesus has to do with it.

     

    The same Jesus who said,

    “Blessed are the merciful
    for they shall receive mercy,”

    also said,

    “Be as shrewd as snakes but
    as innocent as doves.”

    In other words, compassion
    without wisdom is folly.

     

    Many open-border folks accuse

    build-the-wall
    folks of lacking compassion.

    But those who wish to throw the
    border wide open lack wisdom.

     

    0:50 I used to support an open border.

    3:45 Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

    06:17 The United States government is completely incapable of solving the underlying problem.


    07:15 The primary symptom of the problem: “MORBIDA.”

    12:01 I am reminded of William Wilberforce,

    14:35 Real compassion values

    I’ve Blown It Too: Jesus, Politics, and the Gospel!

    I’ve Blown It Too: Jesus, Politics, and the Gospel

    Our country is tearing itself apart.
    Even within the Church, there are
    competing ideas about what we should do.

    Today I want to talk about that.

    Jesus gave all 3 commands.
    You can’t follow Jesus
    and embrace 2 his commands but ignore the 3rd.
    You either do what he asked you to do, or you don’t.
    Partial obedience is also partial disobedience.

    We do this by making God’s heart our heart,
    both for the hurting AND the lost.
    Just like Jesus.

    God is the issue—in every issue.





    00:00 Intro
    00:45 Billy Graham Quote
    1:40 Jesus gave us Primary Commands
    5:32 Leaders of the Abolitionist Movement
