Most Christians have wrestled with a fear of messing up the Gospel… But how do we overcome that? Join Abigail as we discuss a few practical, tactical ways to get over our fear and prepare to share the Gospel with the people God places around us. “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,” – 1 Peter 3:15 ESV GET CONNECTED Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Abigail: https://www.instagram.com/abigail.dejarnatt/ |

Last week, we released an episode praising popular kids’ show “Bluey” for being one of the few shows that refuses to push an agenda on kids… But over the weekend, the season 3 finale of the show references the series’ first LGBTQ+ characters. While it’s not entirely surprising, how do we, as Christians, respond to things like this? How can we use discernment and speak truth into these cultural conversations for the glory of God? Do we give up? Boycott? Join Allison and fellow Counteract Podcast host ⁠Abigail DeJarnatt⁠ (https://www.instagram.com/abigail.dejarnatt/) for a Counteract USA conversation! Article with video referenced in the show:⁠https://www.them.us/story/beloved-australian-kids-show-bluey-introduced-queer-family⁠ “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

The Counteract Podcast is super excited to partner with Noelle Fitchett and her show, “Out of Context.” Today, Noelle shares a bit of her story and answers a few questions from Instagram! Our goal for the Counteract Podcast is to apply the mission and vision of Counteract USA to a podcast platform, and a huge part of that is bringing different young, Christian voices into the conversation to counteract our culture with Biblical truth and the glory of God. We’re so thrilled to collaborate with Noelle! About Out of Context: Out of Context exists to put topics often taken out of the context of scripture and place them back in the perspective of eternity.

In our culture, there is an absolutely insatiable desire to “find ourselves…” but what does that even mean, and… should we? As Christians, plain and simple, the answer is: no. Join Abigail as we discuss how the ideology behind “find yourself” is really dark, and happens to be in direct alignment with the Church of Satan… “And whoever does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:38-39 GET CONNECTED Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Abigail: https://www.instagram.com/abigail.dejarnatt/ |

Sometimes, we take the verses and Christian references we see in culture for granted without really considering the truth or context behind them. This week, we’re talking about a popular phrase, “Be joyful always,” that we find in 1 Thessalonians. But who said that, who are they saying it to, and why? How does it affect the way we read that verse? Join Abigail for a new, ongoing “Coffee Mug Theology” series, where we take a quick look at the context of the Scripture we see on, say, a coffee mug. “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭ESV‬‬ GET CONNECTED Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Abigail: https://www.instagram.com/abigail.dejarnatt/ |

Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, SEVEN states have permanently enshrined abortion into their state constitutions through ballot initiatives. So what is a ballot measure, and what do we do about them? Join Abigail as she discusses the abortion ballot measures, including the one in her home state of Arkansas. “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live,” ‭‭ Deuteronomy‬ ‭30‬:‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬ This episode of the Counteract Podcast is brought to you by Patriot Mobile!

Today, Allison talks about how God has changed her heart toward NYC since moving there in 2020. In many Christian and conservative circles, there’s a narrative that major cities are irredeemable and a lost cause—but God is still moving and working in these cities. “And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned…” ‭‭ Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬ GET CONNECTED Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Allison: https://www.instagram.com/____lind____/ |

At Counteract USA, we talk a lot about counteracting culture with grace and truth… but how do we actually do that? Today, Abigail breaks down 2 Timothy 2:24-26 as a practical guide for applying Biblical truths to the worldview conversations happening all around us, all for the gospel of Jesus and the glory of God. “And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil,correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26 ESV GET CONNECTED ⁠Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Abigail: https://www.instagram.com/abigail.dejarnatt/ |

Just a few years ago, Allison considered herself pro-choice. Now, she’s a pro-life activist, advocate, and speaker. Join us for part one of Allison’s story about how God moved in her life, and why she became pro-life! “Speak up, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the oppressed and needy.” ‭‭ Proverbs‬ ‭31‬:‭9‬ ‭HCSB GET CONNECTED: Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Allison: https://www.instagram.com/____lind____/ |

On today’s episode, we look at Progressive Christianity–a pervasive ideology within our culture that, in an attempt to make Christianity more “relevant,” accepts certain parts of Christianity, but rejects others. But if we, as Christians, believe our faith is true, can something that is true really progress beyond that? (Check out the last Worldview w/ Abigail episode on postmodernism!) If we reject parts of the Bible we disagree with, and, consequently, some of the key doctrines of Christianity, what are we left with? If we progress beyond Christianity, is it even Christianity anymore? Or is it just a postmodern narrative disguised by Christian jargon? Join Abigail DeJarnatt as we dive into this super important conversation! “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.” Matthew 24:35 ESV GET CONNECTED: Website: https://counteractusa.com/ | Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa/ | Abigail: https://www.instagram.com/abigail.dejarnatt/ |

On today’s episode, we break down postmodernism and why we, as Christians, must reject the idea of relative truth, and build our lives upon the absolute truth of the Word of God. “Live your truth” is a hopeless lie, but we can rejoice in knowing that Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life! “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭8‬ ‭ESV‬ GET CONNECTED: ⁠Website: https://counteractusa.org ⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ ⁠Facebook⁠: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa

Welcome our Counteract NYC cell leader, Allison Lind, to the Counteract Podcast! Today, Allison shares her personal testimony, explaining how Jesus captured her heart, brought her from Arkansas to NYC, and so much more! Join Allison for “Pop Culture & NYC” weekly as she looks at popular news and narratives through the lens of a Biblical worldview. To Jesus be all glory! “And they have conquered [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.” Revelation 12:11 ESV GET CONNECTED: ⁠Website: https://counteractusa.org ⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/counteract.usa/ ⁠Facebook⁠: https://www.facebook.com/counteract.usa

In our culture, we’re taught “secularism” is neutral: as if there’s this spectrum with “religion” on one side, “atheism” on the other, and “secularism” is just right in the middle. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Join Abigail DeJarnatt to discuss why secularism is NOT neutral, why the phrase “separation of church and state” is misused, and why the Christian must refuse to be silenced by the lie of secularism. To Jesus be all glory! “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth…’” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬‬‬

Today, we’re breaking down “worldview” Counteract USA-style: we define it, relate it to culture, take it to Scripture, and talk about what we as Christians should do about it. “Worldview” is a word that we throw around a lot in our culture. But what does it actually mean? Are we looking for the worldviews all around us? Are we, as Christians, allowing our worldview to influence our actions and the people around us? Should we? Join Abigail DeJarnatt as we dive into it all on today’s episode! To Jesus be all glory! “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬

For our first episode, Abigail DeJarnatt (Counteract USA Founder & CEO) breaks down the origin and mission of Counteract USA, and the goal for the Counteract Podcast. To Jesus be all glory!
