Give Me Liberty with Ryan Helfenbein Standing For Freedom Center

Mary Margaret Olohan, the author of "Detrans: True Stories of Escaping the Gender Ideology Cult," joins Ryan to discuss why detransitioners are fighting back against gender ideology. In recent years, the belief that men and women can change their gender has surged in American culture, creating a phenomenon where many people were biologically altered at a young age and have grown to regret it. Mary explains that this is fueled by the "insidious lie" of gender ideology and discusses how we can combat it. All of this and more on the Give Me Liberty podcast starting NOW!

Today, Chaz-style encampments fill the campus of Columbia University. The occupiers are shouting, “Kill all Zionists! Long Live Hamas.” But this isn’t just at Columbia. From New York to California, blue cities and blue campuses are erupting with the most prejudicial, vehement, and vilest expressions of hatred toward the Jewish people that America has ever seen. It is by no means isolated and it is alarming just how widespread this has become.

There are only two directions before us in this civilizational moment. We will either experience a true revival and recovery of those eternal principles and foundations in the Gospel that once made America strong as Alexis de Tocqueville observed, or we will lose them in this generation as our culture commits the Romans 1 folly of suppressing the truth in unrighteousness.

Christians cannot afford to be silent in this moment. Faithfulness demands obedience. As the apostle Paul said, “The aim of our charge is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.” We must take a stand for truth and righteousness. And we must take the hill. It is the most loving thing we can do.

On Friday, April 19th the Biden Administration finally rolled out new rules to amend Title IX regulations and expand the legal definition of sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity. This will have broad and sweeping effects on primary, secondary, and post-secondary education all across the country, influencing and impacting student programs, facilities, scholarships, housing, healthcare, and freedom of speech and religion in public spaces.

How should Christians think about it? Here’s the Point.

All freedom is derived from our Creator and while not every government is capable of defining or defending those rights, they are pre-political and exist outside of any bureaucracy. All biological reality was determined at creation by the God of creation.

We desperately need revival in America. The reason we have such a fragmented and incoherent understanding of rights and freedoms in America is that we have a government and a people that have denied God along with the universe He has made. And this isn’t just a political problem, at its root it is a deeply spiritual problem. America needs the Gospel of Jesus Christ and bold defenders of freedom and basic biology in the public square.

The Berliner story reveals there is bias, more importantly, there is dissension among the rank-and-file media class. How should Christians think about this?

Here’s the Point:

The counterfeit world of digital media, news, and information might seem monolithic and if compared to a castle fortress, impregnable. But it has serious cracks, and the foundation is built on sinking sand. No one, absolutely no one, can propagate myths and deceptions in perpetuity. There are real costs to doing that and the bill always comes due in the end.

As the saying goes, they can fool everyone some of the time, they can even fool some all of the time, but they can never fool everyone all the time. Truth always wins.

Christians are beholden to the truth. It is the truth that sets us free. In the book of Acts, the public enemies of Christ could not conceal the Resurrection as fake news or a theory – not even for a day. They were compelled by overwhelming evidence to concede the resurrection and the obvious truth that they had killed an innocent man.

Not even the Roman government, ruled by an absolute dictator with no delegated power, could overturn the truth. Yes, truth wins and truth saves. While the American people have lost trust in the media, Christians had better not lose trust in the truth. Not only that it is truth, but that it will set us free.

How should Christians think about Iran’s attack on Israel? Here’s the Point.

There is no question that today’s conflict has significant repercussions geopolitically, but also biblically. The modern state of Israel was attacked by an Islamic regime that has promised to harm them for over 40 years. And just as we have witnessed the rise of antisemitism on America’s top college campuses, and have heard the slogan “from the river to the sea” shouted by a democratic member of Congress, we cannot be indifferent to the conflict that Israel is embroiled in today.

Antisemitism is not only manifest in direct hatred towards Jewish people and modern Israelis. It is also manifestly expressed in attitudes of apathy and indifference. We see that everywhere in America, including the church. Christians would do well to remember that the God of Scripture has not counted the Jewish people out (Rom 11:23-36). Jesus Christ is our Messiah, and He is the only hope for real and lasting peace in Jerusalem (Ps 122:6). There is still Gospel work to do. Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation and the only name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved (Act 4:12). We are looking forward to the day when our Jewish neighbors and friends will also be called brothers and sisters because of what Jesus Christ has done.

Dr. Jay W. Richards of the Heritage Foundation joins Ryan to discuss his new book, "Fight the Good Fight: How an Alliance of Faith and Reason Can Win the Culture War." Dr. Richards offers insightful perspectives on how embracing both faith and reason can empower individuals to navigate and even transform the cultural landscape. Drawing from his expertise in economics, philosophy, and theology, Dr. Richards articulates a compelling vision for how these timeless principles can equip believers to effectively engage in the pressing issues of our time.
