Truths That Transform

Criticism is not always welcome, and pointing out dangerous errors is not usually well-received—but it’s necessary for the health of the church and for the safety of Christians. Indeed, that’s the charge pastors are given. Many churches, pastors, and denominations have begun listening to the siren call of Marxism over the Bible. On the next "Truths That Transform," we will examine how the ideas that go under the label of “woke” are undermining the Gospel. We’ll share the unvarnished truth—which is refreshing in a time when so many leaders are trying to court the favor of the unbelieving world. #ChurchCriticism #SafetyInCritique #PastoralResponsibility #MarxismVsBible #WokeUnderminingGospel #UnvarnishedTruth #ChristianCritique #FaithfulPastors #GospelIntegrity #ChurchAccountability #BibleOverWoke #ChristianLeadership #DefendingTheFaith #ChurchSafety #ChristianityVsMarxism #GospelTruth #FaithInCriticism #ChurchAwakening #TruthMatters #TruthsThatTransform #DJKM

“Woke Christianity” is a term that has become well-known in the last few years. It claims to offer peace and good things like justice and reconciliation. But because it’s based on Marxist ideology rather than biblical truth, it actually brings division and undermines the gospel. The danger that comes from seeing life through the secular world's lens threatens all areas of life and culture. In our newest episode of "Truths That Transform," hear from a pastor who once fought on the side of leftist social justice.

"Woke” is a slang term that the dictionary now defines as “being conscious of racial discrimination in society and other forms of oppression and injustice.” Of course, it’s good to be aware of sinful racial discrimination, oppression, and injustice. But the current woke movement has redefined all those terms while smuggling in subversive Marxist ideas, which are finding their way into the church. On the next "Truths That Transform," we will look at how so-called “social justice” is often the very opposite of true, biblical justice. #WokeAwareness #SocialJusticeDebate #BiblicalJustice #MarxistIdeas #ChurchImpact #TruthsThatTransform #RacialDiscrimination #OppressionAwareness #JusticeDebate #FaithAndSociety #DJKM #TruthsThatTransform

God doesn't call Christians to lead a safe and comfortable life but instead urges us to live out our faith heroically. In this episode of "Truths That Transform," Eric Metaxas considers the current state of our society, and calls Christians to stand up against evil influences, including indoctrination in public schools and the promotion of ideologies like social justice. Dr. Voddie Baucham weighs in on how social justice, in its pursuit of “equity” and resource redistribution, contradicts biblical justice and reflects dangerous underlying assumptions.

What is the result when 90% of North American Christians have a worldview informed by the culture rather than by God’s Word? Take a look around and you can see a nation at severe risk. Growing numbers of people are ignoring the voice of their Creator—and losing the truth in the process. All of this despite how carefully God has preserved his Word. On this new episode of "Truths That Transform," we look at the current battle of truth versus lies. And you'll discover how God's Word has survived and thrived despite centuries of attempts to destroy it.

When searching for truth, our current culture prefers to look inward where truth is relative. It has become completely counter-cultural to assert the existence of absolute truth. But refusing to acknowledge real, absolute truth can lead to deadly consequences. On this episode of "Truths That Transform," discover how the truth of Jesus proves every other religion and philosophy wrong. We'll look at the horrific consequences of believing lies about God instead of the truth about Jesus, as illustrated in the deadly 9/11 attacks 22 years ago.

Our culture has lost sight of truth. In this postmodern world, truth is simply what each person decides they want "their truth" to be. And yet, as we’ve drifted further and further from our tether to reality, the level of despair only increases. In this newest episode of "Truths That Transform," you will discover what a Christian worldview is and why it’s vitally important—even as it’s being lost.

We are created male and female in the image of God for specific purposes. But now, some in our culture are in the throes of a delusion which says that biology has nothing to do with male and female, and that anyone can be whatever “gender” they want. From biological men competing in women’s sports to beer advertisements, gender issues have become a cultural flashpoint. Find out what’s happening, why it’s important, and how to respond to it through this "Truths That Transform," as we bring you part one of our special documentary, "The Gender Delusion."

But now, some in our culture are in the throes of a delusion which says that biology has nothing to do with male and female, and that anyone can be whatever “gender” they want.

While we, as humans, were once seen as divinely created and made male and female from birth, gender ideology now says biology doesn’t matter. Anyone can be male, female, or any of dozens of other genders based purely on subjective feelings. There is a full-on effort to indoctrinate people into this radical ideology, at younger and younger ages. Find out why on this "Truths That Transform" as we present Part Two of our special documentary program, "The Gender Delusion."

There may be no greater sign of our culture’s moral confusion than the current gender controversies. There’s simply no historical precedent for how quickly we have overthrown the basic realities of our world in favor of a new idea called “gender identity.” On today’s program, we will see how this new idea is forcing our institutions to twist themselves into pretzels to accommodate falsehood. This cultural steamroller has captured government, media, and academia—yet it cannot answer a question as basic as, “What is a woman?”

One of the greatest cultural lies today is that we can find happiness and identity in ourselves. Because our society has abandoned absolute truth, people are free to make up all their own definitions, including whether they’re male, female, non-binary, or something else of their own invention. But such self-created meaning is ultimately worthless, a lesson that former transgender Walt Heyer has learned the hard way. Hear from Walt and discover how God’s design is the antidote to our deep cultural sickness, in this newest episode of "Truths That Transform."

Today's culture has twisted reality to such extremes that we now routinely kill the innocent and protect the guilty—in direct violation of Biblical commands. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, abortion hasn’t gone away. Instead, it has morphed in a dangerous way. Find out more in this newest episode of "Truths That Transform."

America has a Constitution that is designed to restrict the government from interfering with our freedoms. But today, government agencies are being weaponized by ideologues to suppress people with biblical and pro-life views. When pro-life pregnancy centers have been targeted with violence and destruction, what has been the response? In this episode of "Truths That Transform," we take a look at justice and agendas under the most pro-abortion administration in history and ask the question, “What does the Bible have to say about the proper role of government?”

The secular radicalism of the French Revolution was nothing like the appeal to God-given rights in America's Declaration of Independence. Yet the spirit of the bloody French Revolution is on the rise today, notably among elites in our educational and media institutions. We'll take a closer look at how this couldn't be further from the Christian pillars this nation was founded upon, in this episode of "Truths That Transform."

On this episode of Truths That Transform, you’ll get up close and personal with one of our nation's Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson. Though Jefferson was not an orthodox Christian, he was also the furthest thing from the raving secularist he’s often portrayed as. Neither Jefferson nor any other founder wanted to banish Christianity from the public square in America. In fact, quite the opposite. They believed that Christianity was essential to the freedom and flourishing of the new republic. Watch the full episode now to find out more.

Freedom of speech, religious liberty, discrimination, censorship—all things that seem to be coming to a head right now and so often Christians find themselves at the center of it all. On today’s episode of “Truths That Transform,” we’ll look at what happened to one man who stood firm in his faith, even when it meant sacrificing his career, and how we can stand strong when faced with such opposition ourselves.

In the sinful world we live in, suffering, pain, and loss of freedom are rampant. America has a proud history of freedom—but now there’s an all-out attack on that foundation. On today’s episode of “Truths That Transform,” discover why we need Christians to stand up for God’s truth and refuse to conform.

For the first 200 years of our nation, the Bible was the foundation of American culture. One of America's founding promises is that the government cannot censor your thoughts, words, or actions, but now Christians are being put in situations where they are asked to do something that might violate their faith. Discover how Americans are in danger of losing their own freedoms on this episode of "Truths That Transform."

America is the land of liberty. And that's for a very good reason. As the Bible tells us, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty." America's freedom was built upon a Christian foundation, and our Founders deliberately protected that foundation in the First Amendment. But there are now those who wish to cast aside the First Amendment and criminalize Christianity. On today's program you'll discover how only Christianity can be the true basis for your freedom.

Religious liberty is America's first liberty. Without it, all our other American freedoms crumble. Today there is a constant onslaught against God's truth. Christians who stand firm in their faith and refuse to embrace secular actions are being targeted and attacked. Dr. Rob Pacienza explains more in his "Truths That Transform" commentary.

Memorial Day helps us Americans set aside time from our busy schedules to remember our fallen heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice – securing our freedom at the cost of their lives. But, according to many experts our brave men and women in uniform are being let down as America’s defenses are weakened by political correctness. We take a look at today’s military on the next "Truths That Transform.”

We stop to remember America’s heroes, this week on Truths That Transform. Unfortunately, our current military members have an uphill battle, as an increasing number of leaders and policy-makers impose a Leftist ideology in the ranks. Remember our heroes, and discover how Memorial Day points us to the greatest sacrifice. on the next Truths That Transform.

Memorial Day is perhaps our most solemn holiday because we stop to remember those who gave everything they had to protect our nation and preserve our freedom. As Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” We are humbled and grateful for these sacrifices, and the families that most closely bore the grief of their loss. Pastor Rob Pacienza discusses how we can find hope, peace, and freedom in the ultimate sacrifice that Jesus Christ made on our behalf in his "Truths That Transform" commentary.

Have we reached a new cultural moment in which Christianity is not welcome? Wokeness is infiltrating public schools, it's coming into churches, it's coming into corporate boardrooms and people don't really know what's hitting them. We take a look at the disease of “wokeness” and the gospel cure, on the next “Truths That Transform.”
