Did you know there are Marxists in our government? No, not just ideologically, but by party affiliation. How have they been able to get in, and why don't people talk about that? If we want to turn things around in this country, we need to understand the tactics Marxists are using to subvert our political system.

In this season's first "woke prooftexts" episode, Kyle looks at the many ways the story of Rahab is abused to "support" false ideologies. This story, however, destroys the very ideologies that attempt to usurp it. Join us in this look at a character of powerful faith.

The Marxist ideologies we call "woke" cannot take root in just any soil. There are certain conditions needed, and there's one beast in particular that produces the soil Marxism needs like none other. Join Kyle as he talks about that beast, what God says about it, and how it plays into defeating Marxism.

Sam and Kyle talk about the reasons why Trump is not only a bad candidate, but as Christians, we shouldn't support him. And no, it's not because he's too conservative... it's the opposite. That can be a big claim for some people to accept, but our hosts dive into the reasons why.

This week, Kyle looks at the recent comments by famed atheist Richard Dawkins that have gone viral for his claim of being a "cultural Christian." Many are celebrating this as a positive move towards Christ, but is that really what's going on? There are some lessons to be learned here about how we react to things, and how those reactions can be weaponized in an attempt to manipulate us.

Renowned apologist Dr Phil Fernandes joins the podcast to talk about the degradation of the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS) and the watering down of biblical inerrancy within evangelical scholarship. Dr. Fernandes also addresses the influence of European evangelicalism and the rise of scholars who question essential Christian doctrines. He additionally explores the connection between wokeness, cultural Marxism, and the decline of Western civilization.

Kyle reviews a segment from the "Holy Post" podcast titled "Rethinking Penal Substitutionary Atonement." The segment was a heretical trainwreck full of constant manipulation. Kyle works to communicate why, and hopefully equip you to better recognize when people are trying to employ similar tactics to get you to adopt their errors.

In the season 3 premiere of the podcast, Kyle interviews Dr Tom Rush on the topic of "same-sex attraction." They explore what sin and temptation are, and compare that with same-sex attraction to see where it fits. Is an "attraction" or a "desire" simply a temptation? Or is it sin? Join us as we look at God's word to come to a fuller understanding. Disagree or have questions? We'd love to hear them, so make sure to ask. We love to engage and clarify things.

In this episode, Kyle and Sam discuss the recent controversy surrounding the satanic idol that was put up in the Iowa State House. They explore the ethical implications of destroying private property and the tension between legality and morality. They also examine the founding principles of the United States and the role of religious freedom in government action. The conversation highlights the importance of being willing to do what is right and the unchanging character of God. Takeaways: The destruction of private property is generally wrong, but there may be circumstances where it is morally justified. The legality of an action does not necessarily make it morally right. The United States was founded on Christian principles, and the highest law is God's law. The willingness to do what is right, even if it goes against the law, is commendable. God's character does not change, and He is still a jealous God.

What is Christmas about? Is it about Jesus taking on flesh and being born so that He might bring salvation? Or is about defending satanic displays and Mary's menstruation? This week is a wild episode, coving news stories from the week. We break them down, and help you think through these things in a way that will make you better able to respond when less obvious situations arise.

Preston Sprinkle did a podcast responding to Rosaria Butterfield's comments via brining on pastor Jared Moore who had repeated them. It was wild, and not in the ways we were assuming it was going to be. Join us and look at clips from the podcast to see if it was just poor interaction, or if Preston was being rude and manipulative.

No podcast this week due to Thanksgiving, but we wanted to leave you with something big: announcing Enemies Within the Church 2

This is a strange story, and one that kept growing. Why did SBC president Bart Barber attack Dusty Deevers in the first place? Why did he leave those attacks up? Why has he started playing word games instead of owning up to his mistakes? It's just another black mark on the integrity of SBC leadership, and we can only hope it's a scandal enough to get Southern Baptists to finally act.

More and more, non liberal states, ones with significant Christian populations, are voting to enshrine the murder of babies into law. This week, Ohio went beyond simple law, and added it to their constitution. What is going on, and how do we think about this? Also, we look at Brent Leatherwood, head of the ERLC for the Southern Baptist Convention, and his reaction to the leak of pages from the shooter's manifesto. In addition, we cover some of his past antics, and show how he keeps taking the wrong side on issues.

Yes, you read the title right, but it's much worse than just a "transgender Christian" speaker. The entire conference is a mess, and, despite other issues we've seen with Max Lucado, it's shocking to see a major evangelical figure participate in this conference. If you're still unsure, you can see more evidence of the issues at the link below: Article: https://ewtcnews.com/2023/11/03/max-lucado-joins-a-conference-with-a-transgender-speaker/ He Gets Us episode: https://youtu.be/wcc64v7qu4I?si=gTILIc8ZkuXHf0zu Visit us at: https://ewtcnews.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EWTCNews Contact Wokepedia at: contactwokepedia@gmail.com

Is James chapter 2 finally a true "woke prooftext"? Or is it another case of scripture being twisted to say something it doesn't. Join us as we look at two distinct claims made from James 2, break them down, and compare them to what God's word says. We hope you find this useful.

We're finally back with the 11th installment of the "How the Woke Manipulate" series. This time, we look at how people weaponize the question "did you talk to them first" to dodge evidence of "wokeness." There are multiple facets to this one, so we hope this podcast is helpful.

This week, we talk about "Critical Terrorist Theory."

We're unveiling our new website: ewtcnews.com. Go there to get news and more that relates to the church and wokeness. Wokepedia isn't going anywhere, but we would like feedback on Wokepedia as we figure out the two projects fit together. In addition, we look at the current situation with Andy Stanley, and some of the responses to it.

Jason from Dear Woke Christian joins us to talk more about Lecrae. We cover how Lecrae uses standpoint epistemology ("my truth") to push his woke views. Should Christians follow Lecrae, or just stay away?

Does the book of Nehemiah prove woke ideas? Or does it disprove them? Different woke people think it does, so let's look at some passages and claims to see if this really is a woke prooftext.

There has been no shortage of drama in the SBC, but have these two pieces of news finally pushed things to a extreme? No so much for the content, but more so the brazen nature of things. Yet another committee has been formed to study an issue that their statement of faith already answers, and leadership at the ERLC has gotten even worse. But again, compared to other things, these two don't even have plausible deniability.

Is faith mean to stay between you and God? Or does it influence how you interact with the world? In this episode, we'll talk a bit about that, but mostly we're centering it around how to talk with friends and family who hold that view. Next time your friend groans and says "politics has no place at church," you can have some tools to initiate a positive conversation with him. Granted, it's a process, and nothing will happen instantly. With our advice, though, you should be more prepped to enter into that process.

This week, we talk about why Marxism is attractive, both in general, and to Christians. It's important to understand the appeal of Marxism (and specifically Cultural Marxism) if we are going to resist its influence.

Sam and Kyle watched the first GOP presidential debate, and they have some thoughts. It was not good, and looked like a democratic debate from 20 years ago, although even then, some of the positions that were stated would have been seen as extreme. Join us as we breakdown the debate, and think Biblically about the potential presidential candidates.
