    Transgender Atheist to Detransitioning Christian: Tyger's Story

    At the beginning of September, a woman in her 60s named Tyger commented on my ministry's Facebook page. She introduced herself in the comments section as being a transgender atheist and offered some tips on how she thought Christians could best reach trans-identifying people. She continued to comment over the next couple of weeks on various posts. By the end of September, she shared that she had given her life to Jesus at a Charlie Kirk vigil and would be detransitioning. I subsequently got to know Tyger over email, and in today's episode, we have an in-depth conversation in which she shares her life story of what it's like to struggle with your biological sex. It's a fascinating first-hand account that I hope will give you more insight into the challenges people face and why it's so important for Christians to remain firmly rooted in truth.

    What's Really Happening to Christians in Nigeria? with Judd Saul

    More and more people are talking about Christian persecution in Nigeria, but reports are often conflicting. Some Nigerians--even Nigerian Christians--claim the reports are entirely false. Others claim it's only an ethnic dispute, not a religious one. Some say U.S. leaders are blowing the story out of proportion in order to work our way in and take mineral rights. Still others say it's just a sad story of "bandits" taking advantage of people for financial gain...not anything resembling a Christian-targeted genocide. What's actually going on? In this episode, I sort all of this out with Judd Saul, Executive Director of Equipping the Persecuted. Judd has been on the ground in Nigeria over a period of 10 years and shares his firsthand knowledge of what the reality is.  Mentioned in the Show: This episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xcmibUjT2s8 Equipping the Persecuted site: www.equippingthepersecuted.org Truth Nigeria: www.truthnigeria.com Follow Judd Saul on X: www.x.com/juddsaul Follow Equipping the Persecuted on Facebook: www.facebook.com/EquippingThePersecuted

    Homelessness in America: Good, Bad, and Ugly Solutions, with Bryan Crain

    There are many competing ideas for how to solve the homelessness crisis in America, and they're often a product of competing worldviews. Today, I'm joined by Bryan Crain (yes, he's my husband!), president of Orange County Rescue Mission, to talk about the homelessness crisis from a biblical worldview and the Trump administration's recent Executive Order on "Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets." If you've ever wondered what can and should be done to help the homeless AND make the streets safer for everyone else, you don't want to miss this episode.

    How Have Godly People Been Persuaded to Let Ungodliness Reign? with Bill Federer

    How did we get to a point in America where Christians often believe that the most godly thing they can do is stay out of politics? How did we get to a point where we've accepted the lie that separation of church and state is a guiding rule keeping our faith out of the public square? History gives us a lot of the answers.  My guest today is Bill Federer, a nationally known speaker, best-selling author, and president of Amerisearch, Inc., a publishing company dedicated to researching America's noble heritage. In this episode, Bill gives us a fascinating flyover of the history we need to know to understand how we got to this moment.

    Why Culture Hates Charlie Kirk

    Charlie wasn’t killed just because he was a Christian. Charlie was hated and targeted because he was attempting to influence the public square in a way that would shape society according to biblical views that run contrary to the popular moral consensus. As Christians, we need to understand the difference...and why biblical Christianity is, indeed, a public faith. I break it down biblically in this episode. SHOW NOTES 1.

    55. Is It Unbiblical to Reduce Medicaid and SNAP Benefits?

    In this episode, I read my recent article, "The One Big Beautiful Bill Isn’t as Unchristian as Everyone Seems to Think." You've surely heard progressives (both Christian and nonbelievers) lament how unbiblical and "against the teachings of Jesus" the OBBB is, especially due to its reduction in Medicaid and SNAP benefits. But is it inherently unjust to take away government benefits from those in need? That's the question I address today. MENTIONED IN THE SHOW: Original article source: https://natashacrain.com/the-one-big-beautiful-bill-isnt-as-unchristian-as-everyone-seems-to-think/ My latest book, When Culture Hates You: https://www.amazon.com/When-Culture-Hates-You-Persevering/dp/0736984313 Article from The Center for Biblical Unity on "8 Things Christians Can Say and Do Concerning the Illegal Immigration and Deportation Situation": https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/post/8-things-christians-can-say-and-do-concerning-the-illegal-immigration-and-deportation-situation

    54. Why Secular Therapy is Problematic for Christians

    According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 4 Americans over eighteen years old suffer from a mental illness. By nearly all accounts, mental illness is surging in this country, with it now being called an epidemic. With so many people seeking mental help today, it's crucial Christians understand the nature of therapy (including counseling, psychology, and psychiatry) and why secular therapy is problematic from a biblical perspective. Spoiler alert: All therapy involves worldview assumptions. In today's episode, I explain why and discuss some points from Greg Gifford's new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me. MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE: Dr. Greg Gifford's book, Lies My Therapist Told Me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0063416735/ My latest book, When Culture Hates You: https://www.amazon.com/When-Culture-Hates-You-Persevering/dp/0736984313
