    Sam Allberry and Same Sex Attraction

    Sam Allberry's views on Same Sex Attraction have been controversial for years. Within the evangelical movement, Allberry proports to value singles and same-sex attracted people while still holding a high position of marriage and family. This is attractive to many who want orthodox doctrine without what they see as a stereotypical judgmental attitude. Unfortunately, Sam Allberry's theology was more than inadequate. It lead people to make peace with a sinful orientation and receive consequences for those sins as if the consequences were signs of sacrificial godliness. There is a better way for those who struggle with same-sex attraction, homosexual orientation, gay feelings, or whatever term they use to describe their sinful desires.

    State of the American Church in 2026 - Jon Harris

    Jon Harris examines the state of the American church in 2026 — a time of spiritual interest among Gen Z, rising Bible sales, and public figures talking about Christianity, yet mixed with confusion, pastoral failures, and the risk of counterfeit revival. Drawing from statistics, personal reflections, and Scripture, Jon calls Christians to stand faithfully with the true church, prioritize the gospel, and focus on making disciples rather than platforms or politics. A sober yet hopeful message for believers navigating this cultural moment. 0:00 Introduction & Prayer 1:40 Convictions: The Church Will Prevail 4:20 Suspicions: Spiritual Awakening or Counterfeit? 7:15 What Confuses Me – Loss of Key Leaders 10:45 Statistics on Gen Z & Religious Interest 13:50 Signs of True Revival – Church Growth, Pastors, Giving 16:40 The Pastor Problem & Political Temptation 22:30 Celebrity “Conversions” & Cultural Christianity 27:15 Dangers of Theological Softening 32:40 Real Hope – People Are Open to the Gospel 37:50 Practical Pastoral Wisdom 43:20 The Road to Emmaus – Walking by Faith 49:30 Closing: Next Steps for the Church Our Sponsors: * Check out Mars Men and use my code Mengotomars.com for a great deal: https://mengotomars.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    The Myth of the Lost Cause Myth: What Motivates Spanberger's Heritage Purge?

    In this episode, we examine the historiography of the Lost Cause from the original post-war vindications, to the North-South reconciliation truce of the early 20th century, to how modern professional historians reframed it as a dangerous “myth.” We also discuss Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger’s recent laws targeting Confederate heritage groups and Robert E. Lee license plates, and why the ongoing erasure of Southern symbols represents a deeper fracture in American identity.

    “I Was Convicted by My Own Apathy” – Juan Riesco on Saving Babies

    Juan Riesco, former Nini's Deli owner and now Director of Advertising for Love Life, shares his remarkable journey from running a top-rated restaurant that was shut down during the 2020 BLM protests, to answering God’s call to sidewalk ministry outside abortion clinics. He opens up about the spiritual battle, why most abortions stem from sin rather than just hardship, the 95 babies rescued through their ministry so far, and how local churches can step up through the House of Refuge Initiative. This episode is filled with conviction, hope, and practical encouragement for Christians who want to stand for life and the gospel in dark places.
