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."

Check out Rob's article "A Message to Christian College Students" here: https://institutefc.org/a-message-to-christian-college-students/ As students head off to college for the fall semester, many young Christians are faced with various spiritual challenges that will test their faith, especially for those attending secular schools. Barna Research estimates that roughly 70% of high school students who enter college as professing Christians will leave with little to no faith. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, Rob, John, and Lauren discuss why so many young Christians are leaving the faith and what can be done about it.

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?”

Eric Metaxas is a well-known author, speaker, and radio host who is highly regarded as a great mind in the Christian sphere. He has written a number of best-selling books including his latest, Letter to the American Church. On this episode of The City of God Podcast we discuss the state of the Church in America today, and how cowardice and complacency are leading many Churches to compromise on Biblical truths.

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."

Natasha Crain is a national speaker, author, and podcaster who helps equip Christians to think biblically in a secular culture. She is passionate about issues relating to the family and has written several books on cultural apologetics for parents and children. Natasha is deeply concerned about the next generation and the chaos they are facing in the world today. Her latest book is "Faithfully Different: Regaining Biblical Clarity in a Secular Culture."

The feminist movement has been through many phases throughout the years. Today, feminism is no longer about empowering women and providing equal rights; modern feminism actually degrades women. The LGBTQ+ agenda has virtually destroyed feminism, with some struggling to simply define what a woman is. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, Lauren Cooley joins Rob and John to discuss her views on feminism, and how modern feminism is tearing itself apart.

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?”

We now live in a Wikipedia society, where anyone can change the meaning of a word to satisfy a goal. Today, we’re seeing words being co-opted in order to deceive the uninformed or uneducated, to push a false narrative. LGBTQ activists in particular often label anyone who has a dissenting opinion as a "hater." On this episode of The City of God Podcast, we discuss the redefinition of the world hate, and how many Christians are labeled bigots and haters for simply holding to a Biblical worldview.

Progressive Christianity is an extremely important issue that the Church is facing today. Progressive ideology on abortion, gender, and sexuality are infiltrating many mainstream churches. Many well-known pastors are also going “woke," adhering to changing cultural values rather than Biblical values. Formerly reputable seminaries and Christian universities have gone progressive as well, veering away from their traditional Biblical Christian roots. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, Rob Pacienza, John Rabe, and Lauren Cooley dive into part 2 of their discussion on the Christian left.

As we celebrate the birth of our nation on July 4th, it is vital to remember that the success of the American experiment is no accident. Judeo-Christian values are the bedrock of Western civilization and the bedrock and foundation of the United States of America. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, we dive into America's rich Christian heritage and the attempts by many to whitewash the true history of our founder’s faith.

Patriotism is under attack today. Standing for the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem is considered problematic by some. Many radical progressives even consider the American flag to be a symbol of hate and saying something as simple as “America first” is being labeled as xenophobic. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, we dive into patriotism, and answer the question: can Christians be patriotic?

In June, the radical left celebrates the LGBTQ+ lifestyle with something known as ‘Pride Month.' Last week, President Joe Biden welcomed hundreds to the White House for a pride celebration. The LGBTQ+ agenda is out to destroy the Judeo-Christian worldview because that is the biggest impediment for the ultimate domination of its worldview. On this episode of The City of God Podcast, Rob and John discuss how pride month comes in direct conflict with a Biblical understanding of sex and gender, and how this movement isn’t about equal rights, but rather forcing everyone to bow the knee and submit to their ideology.

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.

Check out the newest special from D. James Kennedy Ministries, "Intolerant: The War on Religious Liberty." America only exists as we know it because of devout Christians who came here for religious freedom. And yet that freedom is now under attack as the forces of secularism work to silence Christianity and punish those who live out their faith. Nevertheless, there are also some emerging reasons for hope, and indications that we could be starting to recapture our First Amendment freedoms. We invite you to watch and hear from many who have first-hand stories of how their faith was silenced and the choices they made to stand firm in Biblical truth.

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.
