    Ep. 60: Every Law is MORAL: Christian Political Duty with Doug Richey (ADF)

    Is it possible to be a Christian and stay out of politics? Former Missouri State Representative and pastor Doug Richey — now with Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) — joins Jonathan and David to make the case that political engagement isn't optional for believers. Because every law has a moral element. Every budget is a moral document. And Christians are called to be salt and light — not just in the pew, but in the public square. Doug breaks down ADF's work defending religious liberty (18 Supreme Court victories and counting), why the "middle ground" has collapsed, and how Christians can engage politics with truth AND grace — without becoming partisan hacks. 📖 Key Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:24-26 ⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 — Who is Doug Richey?0:40 — What is Alliance Defending Freedom?5:30 — Politics as a "gift of God"8:50 — Why every law is moral15:30 — The collapse of the middle ground26:30 — Objective truth vs. self-defined reality36:30 — The Word of God & Christian conduct42:30 — Loving your neighbor in a polarized age51:30 — 2 Timothy 2:24-26 unpacked1:01:00 — "It's not about us"1:06:00 — Final encouragement 🔔 New episodes every Monday at 5am CT — subscribe and hit the bell. 💬 What's the biggest barrier keeping Christians out of politics?

    Ep. 58: Christian Nationalism Is Spreading—Here's What Scripture Says

    Can love of country become an idol? In this episode, Jonathan and David tackle one of the most uncomfortable questions in American Christianity — where's the line between patriotism and Christian nationalism? The American flag in the sanctuary. The merging of faith and politics. The rise of Christian nationalism in the church. What does the Bible actually say about loving your country? Using Philippians 3, Romans 13, 1 Timothy 2, and Colossians 3, they lay out what a biblical, redeemed patriotism looks like: one rooted in gratitude, expressed through prayer for leaders, and always submitted to the lordship of Christ. 🔍 In this episode: Why the American flag in church may be a discernment issueWhat Romans 13 actually commands about obedience to governmentThe difference between patriotism and Christian nationalismWhy the church is an embassy, not a political HQHow Hebrews 11 reframes our expectation of national prosperity📖 Scriptures referenced: Philippians 3, 1 Timothy 2:1-4, Titus 3, Romans 13:1-7, Psalm 2:1-4, Jeremiah 29, Colossians 3:1-4, Hebrews 11 🕒 Timestamps:00:00 Patriotism and Personal Identity 02:39 The Intersection of Politics andPatriotism 05:32 The Role of Christians inPolitics 08:26 Defining Patriotism in aChristian Context 11:52 The Dangers of Idolatry inPatriotism 14:24 Praying for Authorities and theRole of Christians 17:43 The Balance of Obedience andAuthority 20:37 Gratitude and the Heart of aPatriot 30:47 The Heart of Man and God'sSovereignty 38:52 Navigating Patriotism andPolitics 48:00 Gratitude and Stewardship inFaith 56:31 Eternal Perspective vs. TemporalConcerns 💬 Should the American flag be in the sanctuary?

    Ep. 56: Did the Nephilim Come to America? The Ozarks Evidence Nobody Talks About

    Nephilim? Giants? Book of Enoch? Fallen Angels? In Missouri?? In 1934, a man named Sterling Price Newberry unearthed a seven-foot skeleton buried in a Missouri mound near the James River — surrounded by seven normal-sized skeletons arranged in a cross-shaped formation. That same burial pattern has since been found in Sardinia, where researchers uncovered eight-foot skeletons in the identical arrangement. Coincidence? Or evidence of something far older than American history? In this episode, Jonathan and David sit down with Nicholas Daigle — hospice nurse turned biblical researcher and author of Genesis 6 and the Ozarks — to trace the Nephilim from the mountains of Canaan all the way to the hills of Missouri. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━IN THIS CONVERSATION:━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Why the Sethite view of Genesis 6 doesn't hold up — and what the fallen angel view actually explainsHow the Israelite conquest of Canaan may have triggered a Nephilim migration to the AmericasThe straight line on Google Earth connecting American Stonehenge → England's Stonehenge → Baalbeck, LebanonWhat the Book of Enoch says about fallen angels "sinning against all flesh" — and how it explains mythological hybrids like centaurs and minotaursWhy nearly every ancient civilization has both a flood myth AND a giant legend — and what that means for Genesis 6The uncomfortable question the American church keeps avoiding about the supernatural"Keep an open mind and an open Bible." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━📖 Genesis 6 | Book of Enoch | Nephilim Giants | Biblical Archaeology━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔗 Get Nicholas's book: Genesis 6 and the Ozarks Subscribe for new episodes every Monday at 5AM Central — no denominations, just the Word. #Nephilim #Genesis6 #FallenAngels #BiblicalArchaeology #BookofEnoch #GiantsInTheBible #DeformedTheology 🔗 Connect With Deformed Theology:Website: DeformedTheologyShow.com New episodes every Monday at 5AM Central. #Nephilim #BookOfEnoch #FallenAngels #Genesis6 #BiblicalArchaeology #Giants #DeformedTheology

    Are UFOs real? Are aliens demons? With the White House releasing UAP footage and the world buzzing about disclosure, Christians need a biblical framework — not fear.

    Ep. 53: Spirit-Filled Post-Hardcore Music: When Heavy Music Meets Deep Theology ft. Plead the Widow's Cause

    What happens when reformed theology meets heavy music? We sat down with Plead the Widow's Cause — a spirit-filled post-hardcore band — to talk idolatry, Isaiah, and why one Old Testament story might just be the most metal moment in the entire Bible. In this episode of Deformed Theology (Ep. 53), Jonathan and David sit down with the full band — Ian, Bill, Brett, and Mitch — for an honest, theologically rich conversation about faith, the music they make, and what it means to stand up for those without a voice. Topics we cover: How "spirit-filled post-hardcore" was born and who influenced it (Overcome, Unashamed, early Underoath)The band's reformed Baptist roots — and how all four members got there from very different backgroundsThe biblical stories behind their song "Marah" — idolatry, bitter waters, and Dagon falling face down before the Ark of the CovenantWhy their band name comes from Isaiah 1:17 and what it means to be the voice for the voicelessThe rise of individualism and narcissism — and how it distorts our view of GodUpdates on their new 12-song album and their upcoming set at Audio Feed Festival (July 3rd)Mitch's one-man side project, Pipe Bomb"It's not about theological argument — it's about casting down every idol and walking under the Lordship of Christ." 🎵 Check out Plead the Widow's Cause: [link]🎙️ Subscribe for new episodes every Monday at 5AM Central📖 Scripture of the episode: Isaiah 1:17 | Colossians 3
