Jesus, the Only Way to God | Truths That Transform
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.

The Pilgrim Legacy
To hear skeptics tell it today, America was conceived as a purely secular experiment. Nothing could be further from the truth. That idea is refuted by all the history that surrounds our Thanksgiving holiday. In this newest episode of "Truths That Transform," we’re sharing a preview from the brand-new documentary program, What If the Bible Had Never Been Written. Our ministry's founder, Dr. D. James Kennedy, speaks from the National Monument to the Forefathers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where America began. Contrary to the skeptics' rhetoric, we owe the entire existence of America—and its freedoms—largely to those who were guided by the Bible.

Harvard President Claudine Gay Plagiarism Allegations with Dr. Carol Swain | Ep. 47
During a congressional hearing last week, presidents from Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania came under fire for their testimony regarding the rise of anti-Semitism on college campuses. The three women remained evasive and dismissive when asked if calls for the genocide of Jews violated their universities policies on bullying and harassment. One of those testifying, Harvard president Claudine Gay, also had allegations brought against her on multiple instances of plagiarism throughout her academic career. Dr. Carol M. Swain is a political scientist and legal scholar whose work was plagiarized by Claudine Gay, among other scholars. On this episode of The City of God, Dr. Swain calls out the Harvard president for plagiarizing her work, as well as denounces the practices of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Medical Freedom with Twila Brase | Ep. 54

Twila Brase is a registered nurse and the President and co-founder of Citizens' Council for Health Freedom. Her latest book is called “Big Brother in the Exam Room: The Dangerous Truth About Electronic Health Records.” Twila defines two aspects of health freedom as the public health sphere and the private exam room, and how we are in danger of losing our freedom and privacy in both realms.

Absolute Truth | Truths That Transform
There was a time when people used to argue about what was true. Now they doubt whether anything is true at all. Many even believe that you have to reject God to find truth. But the Bible tells us the exact opposite is true. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and it's the fool that says in his heart that there is no God. On this week's "Truths That Transform," we will face head-on the false ideas about truth that pervade our culture. As Dr. Rob Pacienza notes, “It is tyranny to have a culture that rejects the existence of absolute truth.”

What Will You Take for Your Soul? | Truths That Transform
“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.

Worldview Matters | Truths That Transform
"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.

The Biblical Basis for our Constitution
Is the foundation of this nation rooted in Christian values? The United States Constitution secures principles such as ordered liberty, justice within the legal system, and freedom of conscience. Nevertheless, these core principles face potential threats. Present-day attempts to alter the course of America involve rewriting its historical narrative in order to eliminate its Christian origins. "Christian Nationalism" is often used as a pejorative term by the political left to dissuade Christians from participating in culture and politics. But what transpires when devout Christians genuinely apply biblical teachings to governance, education, and every aspect of life? We will examine individuals who did exactly that in this newest episode of "Truths That Transform."

Truth v. Lies
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.

The Apostle's Creed Today
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.

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.

There’s a growing problem in America and around the world that endangers vulnerable people—and yet it often stays hidden in the shadows. That problem is the scourge of human trafficking.
