Join us for a weekly discussion on living with discernment in this world. We’ll have discussions of how the gospel and the word of God ought to be applied to current events, the problems facing our society, the history of what God has done in the world, trends in the church and many other topics. The scriptures have a lot to say about those issues, and we see a lack of Biblical thinking and application to culture in many professing Christian circles today. We want to do our part to reverse that trend. Video episodes available at www.theconqueringtruth.com

    Why are Gen Z Men are Converting to Roman Catholicism?

    There's been a lot of talk in the past few years about how young men are leaving Protestant churches for the Roman Catholic Church. It's easy to forget that the Roman Catholic Church, like all other cults and false religions, uses carnal means and methods to cause those who are dead in their sins and trespasses to feel as if they are spiritually alive unto God. And because the RCC has been practicing and perfecting these techniques for over a thousand years, it is easy for people to forget that they are a corrupt institution through and through. In this episode, we want to focus on the many carnal means and techniques that the Roman Catholic Church uses to make its followers feel spiritual. Because the carnal man does not believe in an invisible God they give him a man who sits on a throne and wears a robe and a mitre and that is something the carnal man can believe in. Because the carnal man cannot imagine the glory of God they have built cathedrals so that a man can see the architecture and hear and feel the music and believe in the strength of man's hand instead of having to believe in The Invisible God. Because they cannot believe in the invisible work of prayer, they give you beads to hold in your hand and set prayers to pray over and over to make you feel spiritual. Instead of being able to approach God or their brothers and sisters in Christ and confess our sins they set up a confessional where you confess before a priest or an icon. Because they cannot believe in the spiritual nature of the church as the mother of us all, they give you Mary to worship as a mother, because people cannot believe that God is their father they tell them to call men their father which Jesus expressly forbade. Because they cannot understand God neither can they know him they give you a pantheon of saints you can choose to relate to and pray to instead of relating to the God you cannot see. They use every sense and artifice of man to create false worship, from images to incense to relics to holy places to icons. Because they have nothing but carnal means, they use every carnal method they can think of. The Roman Catholic Church is not unified, it is not holy, it is not spiritual. What it is great at, and what it has perfected over 1600 years, is making carnal men feel spiritual when they are truly headed to hell.Thumbnail image by Leonhard NiederwimmerTimecodes00:00:00 Appeal of Catholicism00:16:28 Corruption of Catholic Church00:28:25 Syncretism00:31:34 Schism00:34:56 Carnality00:48:59 Idolatry00:54:51 Vain Repetition01:04:27 Incense01:08:39 God's Word01:27:50 Church Fathers01:39:47 Sacred Secular01:57:17 ConclusionProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    Arranged Marriage, Courtship, or Dating? What does the Bible Say?

    There has been a big shift in America in how men and women decide to get married. In early America, parents had a very high level of authority and responsibility over who their children married. This was partly driven by economic and social factors, where the parents were more concerned about continuing the family line and ensuring that their children and grandchildren would not starve to death than whether the two getting married were emotionally compatible with one another. As time went on and America became wealthier, engagement and marriage became less about financial stability and more of a courtship arrangement. The parents were not arranging the marriages as much as they were overseeing the interests of their children. As we lost our understanding of a biblical worldview, and focused on pleasure rather than duty and obligation, the marriage process has become more about the emotional and physical response to the relationship rather than establishing a productive home where both could safely establish their future. And while some may disagree, we would argue strongly that this modern approach to marriage has failed dramatically. In response, many are choosing to never get married or cohabitating for years, but behaving as if they are married to see if the emotions last, but none of this solves the underlying problems. For the last fifty years, about half of marriages end in divorce, people are not happier in their relationships and their families, and marriage rates have declined significantly. So let’s start off with a question: why is dating such a terrible way to establish marriages?Thumbnail image by Jack Pearce under CC BY-SA 2.0Production of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    Contumacy: The Reason For Most Excommunications

    In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore "contumacy"—the most common reason for excommunication in faithful churches today. While many assume church discipline is only for overt scandals like adultery, contumacy is a stubborn refusal to submit to the biblically established authority of the church. We discuss why this sin is comparable to the judicial concept of "contempt of court" within the body of Christ and how it manifests as a breach of the membership covenant and ask the following questions: Is it possible to simply "resign" from a local church to avoid the judgment of the elders? Or does this reveal a lack of respect for the universal church and the commands of Matthew 18? And if someone does flee to avoid discipline, is it wrong to excommunicate them for their refusal to recognize the authority of the church? Furthermore, if someone has been excommunicated from a church, is there any way that this can be appealed to other churches, or does scripture require a governing authority for this to happen?Many people first heard of contumacy because of the 2026 controversy involving Stephen Nichols and St. Andrew’s Chapel, and while we will mention it in passing in the episode, we do not have sufficient information to discuss it in detail. Instead, we examine the normative process and the jurisdictional complexities that arise when members attempt to flee discipline. Many Christians today treat the church as if it has no real authority, as if it is a purely voluntary association that one can walk away from at any time. Theology impacts every facet of life, including how we resolve conflict and honor God’s structure for His people. Discover why understanding contumacy is essential for the peace and purity of the church today.Thumbnail image by www.quotecatalog.comTimecodes00:00:00 What is it?00:07:00 Church Authority00:17:15 Our Experience00:25:00 Respecting Discipline00:28:15 Loving Your Neighbor00:32:40 Honoring Other's Excommunication00:52:40 Cult Behavior?01:01:05 Causing DivisionProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    Is Arminianism Actually a Heresy?

    Most professing Christians today hold to Arminian views, often assuming the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism is merely a secondary issue or a sort of "family squabble." But is it much more serious than that? In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore why the Reformers saw the doctrines of Arminianism not just as a mistake, but as a fundamental rejection of the biblical Gospel.When Martin Luther debated Erasmus, the core issue wasn't the corruption of the papacy—it was the nature of God's election and the bondage of the will. Does God choose man, or does man choose God? We dive into the outline of Arminianism to show how it changes the very nature of God, turning the Creator into a "slave" to man's choices and stripping Him of His glory.We also want to be very clear that this does not mean that everyone who has been taught or who holds to some form of Arminian doctrine is an unsaved heretic. But it does not help anyone to treat these doctrinal differences as if they are minor. There are wolves in and among the church who use these heresies to divide the church and to weaken the gospel. While our desire should always be unity, it should always be unity through truth, with the expectation that the spirit of Truth will guide those whom He indwells.

    Why the First Pentecost Led to Death (and the Last Led to Life)

    Why did the first Pentecost lead to death while the last led to life? Most Christians celebrate Pentecost as the "birthday of the church," but its roots go back much further—to the foot of Mount Sinai. In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore the profound biblical connection between the first giving of the Law in Exodus and the second giving of the Law through the Holy Spirit in Acts.While the Law on tablets of stone was a "ministry of death" (2 Corinthians 3), the Law written on fleshly tables of the heart was a ministry unto life. We dive deep into Covenant Theology, the promise vs. fulfillment of the New Covenant, and why the feast of weeks was always pointing us toward the substance of Jesus Christ.Thumbnail image by John Biody under CC BY 2.0Timecodes00:00 Pentecost05:17 Giving of the Law17:47 Promise vs Fulfillment25:11 Sin vs Righteousness Abounding48:29 Death to LifeProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

    Should Christians Eat Dogs?

    Why is a dog a "best friend" but a pig is "breakfast"? As Western Christians, we often mistake our cultural taboos for biblical mandates. We recoil at the idea of eating horses or cats, yet we enjoy bacon and shellfish without a second thought—all while claiming our standards are rooted in Scripture. But is our "culinary morality" truly biblical, or just a product of our zip code? Even worse, our rules and taboos often oppress the poor by forcing them to live according to our standard of wealth and “morality”.In this episode, we look at how the Old Testament ceremonial food laws intersect with New Covenant freedoms and practices. We move beyond the common misconception that those laws were about hygiene or health, exploring instead how they served as a "tutor," using the animals as types or pictures to paint a vivid picture of holiness and the separation of God's people.

    War, Tariffs, and the Death of the Rule of Law

    The US constitution was designed to limit the power of the president regarding taxes and the use of the military. This limitation of power goes all the way back to the Magna Carta and has its foundations in biblical principles. So when the Supreme Court overturned president Trump's tariffs and when he unilaterally decided to bomb Iran, president Trump was acting outside of the bounds of his constitutional authority. And we should be clear, he is not the first president to do such a thing. The US has not declared war since WWII, but many soldiers and many body bags testify that we have been at war. Our constitution says that war must be declared by the Congress, (Art.1.8.11) but as a nation we now treat that as a relic of a bygone time. Our constitution also says that any bill raising revenue doesn't just need to start in Congress, but specifically the House of Representatives (Art.1.7.1). Now the president does both of these things and so called conservatives rejoice in what he is doing, which is clearly illegal, but they say the legislative process is too hard which was the design of the system. In this episode, we want to consider why the Constitution was structured as it was, how we should think about it as Christians, and what our responsibility is to the president, to the nation, to each other, and most importantly to our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Doctor Assisted Suicide - The Moral Endgame for National Healthcare?

    In Canada, there is a law called MAiD which stands for Medical Assistance in Dying which permits medical personnel to help with suicide. Their criteria are such that in 2024 5.1% of all deaths in Canada are caused by medical personnel legally murdering or assisting in the murder of their patients. In the Quebec province, it was at least 7.3% of all deaths. These are staggeringly high numbers and since it varies by province, there are probably significantly more factors in play than just the health of the patient. Why would a nation want to facilitate the death of its own people and what does God’s word say about such a practice?Timecodes00:00:00 Intro00:03:23 God's Purpose for the Government00:21:19 MaiD Criteria00:40:55 Canada's Response00:45:00 What the Bible says About Suffering00:53:03 Criteria Volutary Request00:58:57 Assisted Suicide Example from Scripture01:10:55 The Duty of the Church to Stop the OppressionProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson
