Christian Nationalism is a term that has been thrown around often, but what exactly does it mean? David Bibee, who holds a Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary, has done a great amount of research into Christian Nationalism and helps lay out what exactly it is, and what implications it has for Christians. In part 2 of this discussion on Christian Nationalism, we talk about how America's founding was heavily influenced by Christianity, and how today, many in the Church have drifted away from Biblical principles that the founders followed.

"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.

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."

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."

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.

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.
