NOTE: This contains the fixed audio!

On this episode of Apologia Radio we are joined by a special guest, our dear friend and author Pastor John Samson, to discuss 499 years of Reformation. How does the cry of the Reformation, Semper Reformanda, affect us today? How do we apply it to our culture? How have Reformation principles had any bearing on the 2016 Presidential Election?

Also, John shares with us several lesser known benefits that we have received from the Reformation. We have a lot to thank the Reformers for, and Johns shows us how.

On this episode of Apologia Radio we spend time listening to the continued decay of the minds in our culture with our exclusive NPR (Not Public Radio) segment with Steady Randy. We chop-it-up over “safe spaces”, “micro-aggressions”, and the like. We also spend some time reviewing a recent clip from Wretched with brother, Todd Friel. Todd spent a few moments reviewing some comments from Dr. John MacArthur regarding, in our minds, cultural surrender and retreat. We address the fact that Friel has to spend great effort walking back Dr. MacArthur’s comments.

Note: We highly respect and deeply treasure these two men. However, we believe that the position they advocate for is inconsistent with a truly Biblical Worldview and therefore needs to be lovingly and respectfully critiqued.

Finally, Jeff spends a few moments reviewing just a bit of an Atheist’s attempt at refuting Jeff’s recent conference talk in Iowa.

Unless you have only been listening to mainstream media you have no doubt heard about the escalating situation involving the United States and Russia. While the media has been focusing in upon Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump tensions have been rising between to world superpowers. We need to first remind ourselves about the total sovereignty of God over all things and that all things work together for good for those who love God (Romans 8:28). There is absolutely no cause for fear and alarm. However, it’s important, as Christians, that we begin a discussion about Just War Theory. What is a consistently Christian way to speak about foreign intervention? Does the Bible have anything to say about this? Have Christians addressed this before and was it ever applied in history?

You don’t want to miss this entertaining and informative brand-new episode of Apologia Radio! We review the recent second-debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Did you watch it? We did. We review the “mic-drop” moments where Trump threatens Clinton with prosecution if he is elected and tells her she would be in jail if he were in charge of the law in our nation. We talk about that and much more!

We also spend a little time talking about the feminists who came after Summer White and Joy Temby after the release of our newest show: Sheologians.

2. Stop and Frisk
3. The character and records of the candidates
4. Righteous taxation

Jeff Durbin preaches a message on what the Bible has to say about socialism, taxation, and Biblical economics.

We talk a lot about apologetics at Apologia Church. Wouldn’t you know it with a name like Apologia (from the Greek: a reasoned defense). We often remind one another that the Triune God of the Scriptures is the central reference point for all truth. Without Him, we are reduced to absurdity and foolishness and cannot provide a meaningful foundation for any claim to knowledge. The Biblical Worldview is the necessary starting point for knowledge and wisdom. This is not simply true concerning so-called ‘religious matters’. This is true in reference to everything: art, logic, arithmetic, beauty, morality, and political discourse.

We are close to the end of another election cycle. This particular election has a fervor not completely unlike any other. Everyone thinks that EVERY election is the most important one. However it is a fervor that cannot be missed due to the unique nature of the two main candidates. As a Minister of the Gospel, it is my duty to equipment the people of God under my care to face the issues of life in a way that glorifies God. Therefore, I felt it necessary to provide an important foundation for Apologia Church in terms of one of the most important things we need to know and be concerned with regarding government; irrespective of the current candidates and irrespective of who wins the presidency.

These are “love your neighbor” kind of issues. These are issues we all must speak prophetically into and can all permanently agree to and have unity around.

The post Sermon Audio: Socialism is Theft appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

You do not want to miss this new episode of Apologia Radio! We play through a message from a chapel service at BYU Idaho from the end of 2015. The Latter-day Saint representative quotes directly from Mormon prophets leaving absolutely no question regarding the near deification of Joseph Smith. Joseph Smith is elevated in the teachings of Mormon prophets and apostles in such a way that he becomes essential for salvation. Don’t believe us? Take a listen for yourself.

The speaker (Jayson Kunzler) agrees.

This is a must share episode! Share it with your Mormon friends, family, and neighbors. Let people know about what the Mormon church (officially) teaches about their prophet through the teachings of their own leaders. As Jeff says in this episode, we live in a wonderful time for evangelism to Latter-day Saints. God is exposing the darkness of Mormonism. Let’s use this opportunity to share the truth about the true Christ and the Biblical Gospel.

You don’t want to miss this newest episode of Apologia Radio! We engage a recent video (now disappeared in the wasteland of the internet) made by a man named Marcus Rogers. Jeff saw a video made by Rogers which was addressed as a response to Dr. James White. In the video, Rogers makes a mess of the Scriptures and follows the typical line of unfortunate and bad argumentation that has led many astray for millennia. We had different plans for this episode. However, Jeff thought this would be a blessing to many and would go a long way toward equipping God’s people.

We also feature a new segment of Apologia’s NPR (Not Public Radio) updating our listeners on some current events. There’s even a little bit of silliness. I know, right? That’s so out of character.

Wanna know something that we think is pretty great?! The breakout sessions from ReformCon are now up for our All Access partners! That’s right! Now you can watch Dr. K.

Take a listen to this brand-new and important episode of Apologia Radio! Many of you are aware of the history of Apologia Church, our ministry and focus in the area of drug and alcohol addiction, the many lives that God has transformed through Jeff’s Gospel-focused program for addiction he developed during his 4-years as the Chaplain at a Recovery Hospital (Redeemed Rebels), and our commitment to proclaiming the gift and need of sanctification in the life of a believer. Recently, however, there was a bit of unhealthy controversy that bred many falsehoods by a few “Christian news” outlets. The falsehoods abounded from the claim that Apologia Church held a “Bible, Beer, and Tattoo Conference” (Spoiler alert: Not true) to Apologia Church being a “hipster church” trying to be “cool” by attracting unbelievers using “carnal” means (Spoiler alert: Nope).

On this episode, we talk about a few miscellaneous items then we talk about the history, beliefs, and practice of Apologia Church. We also spend some time refuting a few of the recent falsehoods. Apologia Church has a policy of ignoring much of the web-gossip and internet trolls. We believe it is important to respect our friends, brothers and sisters, and ministry partners enough to not assault them with unworthy conversation and content focused upon gossip and character assassination. We remain committed to that practice. Based upon the level of falsehoods and how far and wide they spread, we felt doing a show that would refute the claims and edify our listeners would be appropriate.
Thank you for the love and encouragement you have sent our way over the last few weeks!

God’s Providence

There is a beautiful finish to all of this. Those of you who know our ministry and listen to our show and our sermons on a regular basis are well-aware of our ministry in the area of drug and alcohol addiction. We’re most known (locally) for our ministry to addicts. It just so happens, the trailer for our upcoming film/Bible study for churches and individuals that focuses on freedom from drug and alcohol addiction is finally done! The timing couldn’t be better (Genesis 50:20).

We’d be honored if you viewed and shared this trailer and then go to Redeemedrebels.com to give towards the production of this film. There is an immediate and serious need for a Biblically-based, Gospel-saturated program for addicts in the local church. Pastor Jeff will lead viewers through the same course he took people through at the hospital and Apologia Church. It’s all about the Lord Jesus Christ, His Gospel, and the transforming work of the Spirit of God within the local church!

Take a look for yourself! Then partner with us as we get this film (and book) into the hands of churches and people struggling with the issue of addiction everywhere.

Soli Deo Gloria!

The post Apologia Radio #176 – Expanding the Kingdom: Kauai appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

On this episode of Apologia Radio, Jeff is on mission in Hawaii so with Luke controlling the music, Joy, Luke, Marcus, Summer Pinch and Austin discuss what exactly should Christians watch on TV or in the movies? Is Game of Thrones Pornography? How should sin be portrayed properly and without sin? From Breaking Bad to Nicholas Sparks, we scour the best and worst of film and television and discuss their respective worldviews.

Also, Luke discusses his sermon prep for a sermon he is preparing on modern day phariseeism. What is the proper way to judge another according to scripture? When does judging become gossip and slander?

The post Apologia Radio #175 – What Should Christians Watch? appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

I want to first apologize for the circumstances which require a public response. Recently (before ReformCon) I got word that a man was taking steps to write a hit-piece on Apologia Church. He had attempted to contact at least 2 of my speakers (Dr. James White and LEAH). He DID NOT attempt to reach out to me or any leaders. Based upon the line of questioning they were getting, it was clear to me, this man was in the beginning stages of posting an article attempting to malign Apologia Church.

Let me make this abundantly clear: this man DID NOT contact me. As a matter of fact, I had to do some looking and asking around to find him. Then, it was me who contacted him. I initiated contact and had hoped to be able to answer his questions and perhaps guard him from making errors in any “reporting” he had planned to do. He (nor anyone affiliated with him) never initiated contact with me to verify any of their claims. It was Apologia Church who had to seek him out after getting word that he was about to post an article attempting to malign us. It was clear in our interaction (as you will see) that this man does not like Apologia Church and has theological disagreements. Therefore, apparently, a hit-piece was in order.

Again, I’m extremely sorry that both my current busy ministry schedule and your day has been assaulted with the circumstances surrounding this deception. After reading a couple of “Christian News” articles (now the story is Marcus Pittman is leader of Apologia Church and we held a Bible, beer, and tattoo conference. Seriously.) and after reading some rather deceptive comments made by the man in question (giving the impression that he had some sort of investigative interaction with me. Reminder: He did not attempt to initiate contact with us) and after listening to Dr. White’s defense of us this morning, I think it would be appropriate to release my private conversation with this man.

Again, I am very sorry that this is even necessary. Sin has consequences. I often ignore the common Internet Thugs and Trolls. Seeing as this man’s sin has been picked up and expanded on by others, I feel this (alongside Dr. White’s article and radio program) is appropriate.

I have to get back to our mission in Hawaii. This will not occupy anymore time as a distraction of the work we are doing. I leave it to the reader to see for themselves. One word: God’s Word teaches us to always listen to both sides (Proverbs 18:17). I believe that the following will provide reason why.

Back to work. Soli Deo Gloria!

This week we take on Buzzfeed’s new video, “I am a gender non-conforming parent”. Is it possible to non-conform to gender? What does the Christian worldview have to say about gender? Then we discuss the recent Congressional sit-in against gun rights and why we should care about due process.

This is a special bonus episode! Jeff Durbin was interviewed on the show ‘Iron Sharpens Iron’ with Chris Arnzen. Chris invited Jeff to talk about Christian’s involvement in the martial arts.

Jeff is a Master in the martial arts. He began his training while 4-years old. He moved to Japan and studied at two different schools training in two styles at the same time. When he returned to the United States he trained under one of the most respected martial arts coaches on the NASKA circuit. This led to Jeff competing across the nation, taking 1st place and Grand-champion at many of the most world-renowned tournaments. Jeff was rated 1st in the nation for periods of time and won national, international, and world championships. He played Johnny Cage in the ‘Mortal Kombat Live Tour’, Michaelangelo, Donatello, and KC Jones for the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ franchise, and he was a fighter in MTV’s television series ‘The Final Fu’.

On this episode, Chris asks whether Christians should practice martial arts or not.

A while back (go find it in our archive) we did a show with one of our favorites, John Frame, about a vitally important issue that has dramatic consequences on the church and her mission in the world: Two Kingdom Theology. Dr. Frame wrote a book on the subject and we think you should read it and listen to that episode. It’s important stuff and it’ll bless you.

Recently, our good friend Dr. Joe Boot did a debate on the subject. It’s really good and it would make us really happy if everyone heard it.

On this episode of Apologia TV we talk with Greg Scott the director of communications for the Alliance Defending Freedom. We discuss issues of Christian Liberty and persecution from the secular left regarding everything from bakery’s to wedding cakes.

The post Apologia TV – Greg Scott w/ Alliance Defending Freedom appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

This is a very important subject. We want to encourage you to not get frustrated by the conversation if you are new to it. Pick up a copy of The King James Only Controversy by Dr. White. Also, you can listen to the Dividing Line on Alpha and Omega’s YouTube channel. There are many shows, lectures, and debates that Dr. White has done on the subject.

Christians need to know about how God has preserved his Word and how we work out translations. God calls us to have a reasoned defense for everyone who asks us a reason for the hope that is within us (1 Peter 3:15). This episode aims to help with that.

The post AR #160 – What’s Up With Mormonism? appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

This is a repost of a blog written by Jon Speed. Pastor of Christ Is King Baptist Church in Syracuse, NY and co-producer of the documentary Babies Are Murdered Here. When filming the movie we discovered that the Pro-Life reasons for not calling abortion murder are theological and with anything and everything, theology matters. Please take a look at this blog in light of our recent interview with Tony Lauinger.

Last week we went to Washington, D.C. to assist CrownRights.org with filming on the upcoming Babies Are Murdered Here documentary. Our goal was to gather interviews from participants in the March for Life. Frankly, it was stunning to see the crowd of more than 500,000 people marching on the National Mall to protest abortion. The march is organized mainly by Roman Catholics. It is quite a testimony to the organizational ability of the Roman Catholics and the March for Life that they are able to mobilize this many people on one day (one c-c-c-old day) in DC.

This has been the story of the pro-life movement from the beginning. The Roman Catholics have mobilized and the evangelicalProtestant church has either hemmed and hawed or they have supported abortion (in the case of the mainline denominations). Forty years later churches in the evangelical community which are sound theologically (and many that aren’t) are loathe to do very much about the slaughter of the innocents in the womb. Why? The “elephant in the room”, whenever the topic is discussed, is the Catholic church. If we stand with Catholics in front of the abortion clinics, aren’t we somehow supporting their doctrine? In good churches, doctrine matters.

After seeing the March for Life, conducting interviews, and our own experience with pro-life Catholics I can only conclude that while we can stand in front of clinics while Catholics are present, we cannot join hands with them intentionally for the purpose of: 1) proclaiming the truth about abortion or 2) doing sidewalk counseling ministry. The theological tension between the Catholic church and the leadership of the pro-life movement effectively neuters the pro-life cause. Worse, it offers no real hope to women who have had abortions.

At this point, Catholics reading this blog will get up in arms and point to their long record of standing against abortion. I am grateful for their willingness to act when so many of us have been silent. It is to our shame. Some will say that this kind of message will fragment the pro-life community, weakening it. I disagree. The way that truth works in the Kingdom of God is that it sets people free. Besides that, the pro-life community is already fragmented. It is fragmented into groups that call abortion murder in no uncertain terms and those that equivocate.

Two Important Questions

At the March, we asked the participants two important questions. 1) Is abortion murder? 2) Is a woman who has an abortion a murderer? The answers were not what we expected at a pro-life event.

To question #1, the results were split. Some would say, yes, it is murder and not bat an eye. Others would hem and haw a bit and use just about every euphemism you can imagine to describe what a woman does when she has an abortion. To question #2, the results were much more uniform. I do not believe we had one person respond in the affirmative. In every case, the woman having an abortion was portrayed as a victim.

Watch the video below and see some of the responses that will appear in the film.

We did a lot more filming that day, but on the way to dinner we began talking about the disconnect. Why could some say it was murder and then not call the woman having an abortion a murderer? This isn’t a great leap of logic. Further, how could you be anti-abortion, march against Roe v. Wade, and then not be clear about abortion being murder in question #1?

As we chatted, Marcus finally asked, “What do Catholics believe about mortal sin?” This question and its answer is the keystone to not only this disconnect between the two questions, it is the keystone to understanding the present pro life movement and how ministry is done amongst women who are potentially abortive.

Mortal Sin

Let’s answer Marcus’ question. What do Catholics believe about mortal sin? In order to find the answer, you have to go to their documents. You do not go to writings which are not formally endorsed. You do not go to a Catholic friend or relative to find the answer. For our purposes, we will use the Catechism of the Catholic Church (hereafter referred to as the CCC) which was published by the Libreria Editrice Vaticana (the publishing arm of the Vatican). The copy in my library is the Second Edition published in 2000 and appears to be the 7th printing of this edition.

In the CCC, (section 1855) it states, “Mortal sin destroys charity in the heart of man by a grave violation of God’s law; it turns man away from God, who is his ultimate end and his beatitude, by preferring an inferior good to him.” In contrast, venial sin “…allows charity to subsist, even though it offends and wounds it.”

The big question is, “What is a mortal sin?” According to the Roman Catholic church it must meet three conditions: 1) it is a grave matter, 2) it is committed with full knowledge and 3) it is committed with deliberate intent (Section 1857). Murder falls under the “grave matter” condition according to section 1858. I submit that murder is always committed with full knowledge of its evil since Romans 2:14-15 says that the law of God is written on the hearts of all men and their conscience bears witness that this is so. Finally, murder is committed with deliberate intent whenever it is committed except in cases of self defense (Ex. 22:2-3). The CCC states, “Sin committed through malice, by deliberate choice of evil, is the gravest” (Section 1860). Note the use of the terminology “grave” and “gravest.” In the Roman Catholic understanding, a mortal sin is worse than the average sin.

What is the penalty for a mortal sin? The CCC answers, “If it is not redeemed by repentance and God’s forgiveness, it causes exclusion from Christ’s kingdom and the eternal death of Hell…”.

Therefore murder is a mortal sin and is deserving of Hell. This is the clear teaching of the CCC.

The next question for the CCC is, “Is abortion murder?” The CCC answers in the affirmative. It states, “Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable” (Section 2271). The same section goes on to cite the Didache and other early writings as proof. In the next section, it states, “Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life” (Section 2272).

So what’s the problem? Abortion is murder and murder merits Hell in Roman Catholic theology. Why don’t Roman Catholics speak more plainly on the issue of abortion if this is all that there is to it?

Theological Loophole

It suggests the question, “Is there a theological loophole in the CCC which allows a Roman Catholic the freedom to sidestep the question, “Is a woman who has an abortion a murderer?” It turns out that there is.

Section 1860 reads, “Unintentional ignorance can diminish or even remove the imputability of a grave offense. But no one is deemed to be ignorant of the principles of the moral law, which are written in the conscience of every man. The promptings of feelings and passions can also diminish the voluntary and free character of the offense, as can external pressures or pathological disorders.” It is worth noting that in this section, there are no footnotes. There are no cross references to Biblical passages because the Bible does not teach this.

So here is what is happening. In the pro-life movement, if you can deem the woman who has an abortion to be “unintentionally ignorant” or a victim of their own “feelings and passions”, you can conclude that she is indeed a victim, not guilty of mortal sin, and is therefore not a murderer. This is the only theological rationale that makes sense in light of the answers we received in DC at the March for Life. This victim mentality is evident at a March for Life. The vast majority of signs, usually provided by the Catholic organizers, emphasize a positive message. Their own website states, “Purposefully, the Life Principles are not framed in the negative tone of “thou shalt not,” and are framed in the positive tone of duty and responsibility of each human being and of society.” The signs at the march which state that abortion is murder are usually made by individuals and not mass produced and handed out to marchers.

The problem is that the Bible teaches the exact opposite. We cannot plead temporary insanity regarding our sin. In Exodus 21:22-25, the situation of two men fighting in a heated emotional argument is given. If in the course of their fight, they hurt a woman who is with child unintentionally and the baby miscarries, the death penalty is given for the man who is guilty, in spite of his emotion. It is eye for eye, tooth for tooth and life for life. In the context, it does not appear that it is their intent to murder the baby in the womb. If they do, intentional or not, they are given the death penalty.

In short, Roman Catholics who are pro-life who will not call abortion murder or women who abort, murderers are NOT in conflict with their own catechism. They ARE in conflict with the Word of God. By the way, so are evangelicals who adopt this same victim mentality of the woman at the abortion clinic.

The Law

Listen, if we ever have the opportunity to repeal Roe v. Wade and abortion is illegal in this nation, then what will a woman be guilty of if she has an abortion after that point? She will be guilty of murder. I am quite sure that lawyers will plead mental duress or temporary insanity, but the charge will be murder. The law will be right to say so. Marching at the March for Life and stopping in front of the Supreme Court to protest Roe v. Wade while equivocating on abortion being murder is a contradiction in the same act of protest. It doesn’t make any sense logically and even less sense theologically.

The Gospel

I’m not Catholic. I believe in sola Scriptura, the Reformation doctrine of Scripture alone as the rule of faith and practice. The CCC carries no weight in my theological thinking. The Bible defines sin as transgression (rebellion) against God’s Law (1 John 3:4). It does not distinguish between mortal and venial sin. All sin condemns people to Hell: murdering and disobedience to parents all fall under the scope of God’s law. There is no free pass for being emotionally traumatized when you commit it.

Therefore, with this right view of sin we’re all in the same boat. We are also dealing with an extremely urgent situation at an abortion clinic. Carrying this truth to the abortion clinics, I can minister to women going in AND coming out of the clinics without internal conflict. I can say, “Please don’t murder your baby” and “You can be forgiven if you repent and believe the gospel” because I too am a sinner who has sinned grievously before God. I can talk about the gospel without referring her to the priest for the sacrament of penance (which includes confession to a priest and whatever reparation he prescribes) or requiring them to become Catholic. These things are not the gospel. They forgive no sins. What I have to offer is the righteousness of Jesus Christ credited to them in place of their sin via repentance and faith (2 Corinthians 5:21). I can tell them that Jesus Christ has satisfied God’s wrath against them and we can be declared innocent on the basis of true repentance and trust in Him, not the sacraments.

All sin is mortal sin. All of it. It’s not just the “really really bad” people who deserve Hell. We are all really really bad: totally depraved (Romans 3:10-18). If you consider murder to be a worse sin than the average venial sin (or skate around it altogether) you’re not going to refer to abortion as murder or the woman as a murderer. What matters in most pro-life counseling ministry is the life of the baby and if you have to lie to get a save, then so be it. I want to see the baby saved AND the woman who was planning on murdering it saved from Hell. This requires plain speaking.

If you deny total depravity and want to see Roe v. Wade overturned you win support by following the cultural trend of soft-selling sin. Yet we all know that abortion is murder. It’s self evident to anyone who doesn’t have an agenda. Our nation will not repent of a choice. No one will. It might repent over a sin. If the March for Life was a call to this nation to repent, it tried to do so without naming the sin we’re guilty of, just as it does not use the word “murder” on their website.

The Victim Lie

This may seem harsh to those who have been trained to do Crisis Pregnancy Center ministry by Roman Catholic activists, but if you have spent any time outside of an abortion clinic pleading with the women going in to save the life of their baby, you know that these women are not victims. They may be very emotional but they are not deceived by their emotions. They are murderers and in most cases, they act like it. They cuss you out, they spit at you, they threaten you and in some cases they attack you. The men who sometimes have the guts to bring them are just the same. When they come out of the clinic they often joke about having just murdered their baby. Abortion is murder. Period. No equivocation, no compromise.

To my evangelical friends who either are doing abortion clinic ministry or plan on it: you do not help a woman find forgiveness in Christ by soft-selling what she is doing at the clinic. Biblical repentance includes an acknowledgement of the sin: they will call it what God calls it. When women justify their actions based on circumstances or emotions you are not looking at Biblical repentance. You might be able to talk them out of the abortion by sympathizing with them, but until they admit that what they were planning on doing was premeditated murder there is no repentance. Biblical repentance looks like Psalm 51 and not a session with a psychologist.

If you have been doing pro-life ministry with Roman Catholics and have adopted their victim mentality of the women who are having abortions, you need to repent. Open your eyes to the behavior that you are seeing and call it what God calls it: murder. Only then will you have the ability to offer real forgiveness and hope to those whose lives have been wrecked by their decision to murder their child in the womb.

The post AR #159 – Batman VS Sanders & Foolish Atheists appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

This is an Apologia Radio special event! We were able to get an interview with Tony Lauinger (Vice President of National Right to Life). The State of Oklahoma is dealing with the controversy over a new proposed bill: SB 1118. This bill would classify abortion as a 1st degree murder charge, effectively criminalizing abortion in the state of Oklahoma. Tony is also the Chairman of Oklahomans For Life. He was asked his position on the bill and responded with a letter that has seen wide circulation on social media.

Tony’s response to the bill was that it would do away with the incremental laws limiting the number of abortions in the State (pain, heartbeat, etc.). We asked him if he would join us to discuss his own opposition to SB 1118.

His answers shocked us. Jeff did his best to let our listeners hear this pro-life leader’s position. Make no mistake: the pro-life cause is an utter failure and now we can all see exactly why that is the case. Tony, a leader in this movement, would not call abortion murder, did not believe abortionists should be prosecuted for “murder” nor did he believe we should bring the biblical worldview or Gospel to bear on the situation in the judicial system.

We want the world to hear the hypocrisy present in the “pro-life” movement. It is time for the Church of Jesus Christ to stand of and act consistently with the Word of God. We cannot and will not do away with abortion and the killing will not stop if we continue to approach the issue in with the cowardice this man and these organizations do.

Rise up O men and women of God!

Please, share this video! Please join with us in exposing this hypocrisy. Abortion will end when there is reformation with the church. We must confront the evils in this movement even if they are present within the church.

Listen-in to this totally unexpected edition of Apologia Radio in which we give you the actual audio of completely unplanned interviews with the two Christian couples in the national media that lost their businesses for refusing to engage in a business agreement with homosexual’s asking for wedding services: Melissa and Aaron (from Sweetcakes by Melissa) and Dick and Betty Odgaard (from Gortz Haus Gallery).

In an amazing display of God’s providence, we ran into both couples (at separate times and locations) while at the NRB National Conference. We spent time speaking with both couples and we want you to hear it. We’re sure it will bless you!

We also play some of the audio from another unexpected interview we did with Tennessee Representative Mark Pody. He is the man who is leading the fight for God’s Word and Biblical standards in the Tennessee legislature. Rep. Pody sat with us at the Capital and spoke about his commitment to God, the people of Tennessee, and the laws of the State of Tennessee. He is fighting to reject the SCOTUS’ opinion on gay “marriage” and to reaffirm God’s standards and the State of Tennessee’s definition of marriage between a man and a woman.

Here’s the full-video:

You don’t want to miss it! This is a tremendous gift and we are asking you to join with us in ministry by getting these amazing testimonies out for all to hear.

That means ‘share it’ to those not familiar with dem’ intanets.

Listen-in and watch this newest episode of Apologia Radio in which we experience a first in our history. This is the first episode where we were forced to eject an invited guest from our show.

(The full show can be heard at apologiaradio.com)

On this episode, we talk about current cultural events in light of the Scriptures, we ask the question about how we should treat false teachers, and we have a discussion with Steve Camp (singer, songwriter, and pastor) about his personal views as a Christian as to why Donald Trump would be a good selection for President of these United States. In the course of this discussion, Steve made it extremely difficult to engage with his commentary and position. This led to Jeff attempting to get the conversation on track and asking Steve to allow him to be the host. Steve said:

You’re no Sean Hannity.

So, Jeff let him go.

But, not before Steve took another swipe, saying, “This is what happens when I come on amateur shows”.

Right after the show, Steve blocked Apologia Radio and posted this to his Twitter:

“Was interviewed today (on Skype) by two amateur wannabe broadcasters. NOTE TO SELF: In the future, work only with professionals. smile emoticon

Don’t miss it. We decided to go ahead and put the conversation up because the issues discussed are vitally important and foundational.

Thank you all so much for your love and prayerful support of this ministry! We have exciting news! Pastor John Samson just completed the first lesson for his Apologia Academy.

We are joined by our friend, Rusty Thomas. Rusty appeared in the film, Babies Are Murdered Here. Apologia Church’s ministry to abortion mills was directly impacted by Rusty’s teaching in that film. Rusty was in town to team up with Jeff and have a private meeting with Sheriff Joe Arpaio (America’s “toughest” Sheriff) to encourage him in his God ordained role as a lesser magistrate. Rusty and Jeff met with Sheriff Joe and called him to obedience to God and to stand for God’s standards of justice. Pray for him.

With the rise of homosexuality, transgendered bathrooms, and a tyrannical government what are the steps to change our nation? (Besides preaching the Gospel of course.) Dr. Joel McDurmon sits down with Apologia and shows us how to use local governments and civil magistrates to actually make changes in our nation.

Jeff Durbin sat down with author ND Wilson (son of Douglas Wilson, author of 100 Cupboards and Notes from a Tilt a Whirl) at Canon Press in Moscow, Idaho. Jeff And Nate speak about the all encompassing glory of the Biblical Worldview and how to find delight in God’s presence and His world.

This is one of Jeff’s favorite interviews. We believe it is truly a blessing in the practical application of Biblical truth. Share it with someone. It’ll bless them a bunch.

In this new episode of Apologia Radio we talk about how Jesus is better than Atheism.

We review the recent public debate between Christians and Atheists at the Bahnsen Conference in California.

You don’t want to miss this very informative episode of Apologia Radio where we respond to a popular argument given by cultists and Atheists regarding Jesus’ promises to return in judgement upon His generation. This subject is very important and demonstrates the importance of knowing how to read the Bible properly. It also highlights the need to have a coherent and biblically based eschatology.

We also spend time talking about the upcoming debate where Sye Ten Bruggencate and Jeff Durbin will face-off with some Atheists at the Bahnsen Conference. We spend some time going through one of the Atheist opponent’s YouTube videos.

We also talk about some other fun stuff that might make you giggle. “Bernie Sanders” might be in this episode. You’ll just have to listen.

In this appropriately timed brand-new episode of Apologia Radio we delve into the very important discussion over gun control. Recently, an evil man murdered a number of people at a college in Oregon. With so many examples of killers like this going on shooting sprees, what is the appropriate and biblical response? How should Christians speak about guns in our culture?

Is gun control a moral issue? Is removing gun rights from the population an issue that touches on loving our neighbor?

Listen in to this exciting episode where we open the Word of God, talk about the implications, and arm you (see what I did there?) with the arguments necessary to make even the most vociferous gun control advocate hang their head in shame.

On this episode of Apologia Radio The Ninja and King Ginger have the studio all to themselves and discuss an entire slew of political issues. From Bernie Sanders and his views on abortion, to Bernie Sanders and his views on economics!

What does the Bible say about living wage and economics? Can you be a calvinist and support minimum wage? We dive into the Scriptures and see what God’s word says.

Finally, we wrap up the show by discussing if we should make smoking pot a criminal offense? What about recreational use? What about medicinal use? If you ever wanted a show that covers the entire political spectrum from taxation, economics, socialism, the war on drugs and the appropriate Christian response to just about anything make sure you listen to this episode.

We present this bonus radio program in which Jeff Durbin was interviewed by our friend, Chris Arnzen on the Iron Sharpens Iron radio program. Chris did a series on eschatology (the study of ‘last things’) and selected major proponents of each major eschatological view. Jeff was chosen as representative of Postmillennialism.

This is an EXCELLENT resource and might help answer a number of questions regarding the Kingdom of the Messiah, “end times”, and the Law of God as relevant today.

Consider this your one-stop-shop resource for eschatology and fundamental questions regarding the Law of God.

This is a very special episode of Apologia Radio! While Jeff was out sick for the day, King Ginger and Luke the Bear decided to put on a podcast all by themselves. What better way way to fill dead air than with the lovely sounds of The View!

That’s right. The View.

We play a clip of The View co-hosts discussing their “view” on Kim Davis and gay marriage. It’s amazingly inconsistent on any logical level. Once we can’t take anymore, we play a clip of Glenn Beck judging people for not being Christian, as well as Shepherd Smith raging against Christians at the Kim Davis rally.

Amazingly, what started as random fill-the-air time content, this episode becomes fantastically thematic towards the Christian worldview. It’s almost like we planned it.

One more thing…

We make a HUGE announcement about Apologia All Access Members and the new Doug Wilson film “Stonewall.”

Jeff invited him to discuss his challenges to Calvinism on air before our audience rather than in Facebook chat boxes. He called. We are excited for you to hear it.

We also talk about resisting tyrants, Kim Davis, the release of our first Apologia Academy on Apologetics, and a very interesting (yet secret) event we are planning for next year. All we will say for now is:

With the recent lawless kidnapping of Kim Davis for Christian beliefs, it’s important for us to understand the law of God and God ordained spheres of authority. God, in the Scriptures, gives us a full orbed world and lifeview. This includes law, procedural law, case law, laws regarding civil magistrates, interposition, and more.

How are we to be salt and light in light of Kim Davis’ kidnapping? Jeff Durbin explains by starting in Matthew and then moving into Romans 13.

In this episode we bring back our good friend Pastor Vocab Malone from Urban Theologian Radio (urbantheologianradio.com) to discuss Biblical sex and marriage with one of our favorite hip-hop artists Stephen the Levite (stephenthelevite.com). With the culture continually trying to redefine marriage and sex, this is a very important topic that cannot be ignored.

We also discuss Stephen’s new album Can I Be Honest, which can be found at Lamp Mode Records (lampmode.com). Please check out and support this amazing label that continues to promote God’s truth through amazing hip-hop.

We also spend time working through Steven Anderson’s most recent rant against Calvinism. This was the first time Pastor Jeff had an opportunity to hear it. Jeff works through the “sermon” and addresses Anderson’s claims with the text of God’s Holy Word. Jeff also presents a respectful challenge to debate these issues. Apologia Church will take care of the cost of the venue, local travel expenses, and will film the event and put it up on social media for free to the public.

We were blessed to have Sam and Nia (the couple from the Frozen video) come on and discuss what it’s like to be YouTube vloggers and the pain of having a miscarriage after their pregnancy announcement. But most importantly we discuss how faith in the sovereignty of God helps give them Joy amidst pain and suffering.

On this episode of Apologia Radio we take your phone calls and confront the propaganda wing of Planned Parenthood (in light of the recent release of the sting operation videos) and encourage a rigorous commitment to a continuous exposure of the dark world of abortion. The Gospel is God’s means of bringing lost people into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the clear communication of the Gospel in the context of sin that breaks hearts of stone and makes room for soft and tender hearts that turn toward God.

That is why we must remain committed to using the opportunity afforded to us with the videos to speak into the culture.

We introduce a new character too. You’ll just have to listen. Then we hope you’ll share it with your friends because we need to expose Planned Parenthood’s misinformation. Then, we hope you’ll join our ministry by becoming a subscriber to our All Access at apologiaradio.com.

On this episode of The Royal Decree with King Ginger and Bridger we discuss all things Donald Trump. He’s running for President and he’s a little bit insane but other than that does he meet the Biblical requirements for a political leader? We break down Exodus 18:21 and the requirements for President and discuss how someone must be able to repent before they can properly fear God.

The post The Royal Decree #002 – Donald Trump for President? appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

On this episode of Apologia Radio we discuss the latest from Planned Parenthood and how incrementalism denies the sovereignty of God and how false piety and a desire to appear holy for the masses actually weakens Christians in the fight. Should Christian’s deceive others in order to end abortion? We also discuss how Christians don’t seem to understand cutting satire and why it is important that people like Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver shouldn’t only exist in the secular media.

These well-known and respected Pastors, Christian Apologists, and radio show hosts have a vitally important discussion about the recent United States Supreme Court ruling about gay “marriage”. This roundtable discussion engages with this important social issue and the gay revolution in the context of the Gospel of Jesus the Messiah.

What are the historical roots of the gay revolution? What happened at Stonewall? What is the loving and faithful response of a biblical church? How do we reach out and resist in a way that glorifies God and shows compassion and commitment to our neighbors? What are the arguments against proponents of this ruling? How do we answer challenges against the Christian position?

Please watch this important film and share it with your friends, family, social networks, and any media outlets you have connections with. This issue is very important as it impacts people’s lives for now and eternity.

Pastor Jeff Durbin of Apologia Church and Apologia Radio preached a message about the recent Supreme Court decision regarding same sex marriage. This is a very important message that addresses a number of important points:

1. The need to reach out in love and humility to the homosexual community.
2. The need for a clearly communicated Gospel in our current context.
3. The assurance of God’s response to a nation that rebels against Him.

This is a timely message that needs to be heard by Christians in our nation. This message contains a call to repent of our indifference as Christians. The greatest hatred that we can show to those who don’t know God is to say and do nothing.

Decree from King Ginger: Hey guys, this was the first recording in our new studio so there were some technical difficulties in the last segment of the audio during the after show (not the TV segment). The last fifteen minutes sounds like AM Radio. Pretend it’s nostalgic of talk radio from the past or something, like vinyl. Because vinyl is cool and it has a “warmth” that just can’t be duplicated using perfect digital technology that works perfectly all the time. Thanks for your patience as we work out the hipster bugs causing these vinyl sounds.

We chop it up over the discussion of the Law of God in society. We talk about traffic tickets. Every got one? Well, take a listen to an interview we review about a grandmother who went to jail for one.

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and financial gifts! We are so grateful and need your support now more than ever. If you have never given to the work of Apologia Church and our ministry of Apologia Radio, would you consider partnering with us by donating at Apologiaradio.com? We would be so grateful.

Soli Deo Gloria!

The post Mr. Bruce Jenner, RC Sproul Jr., and Traffic Tickets appeared first on Apologia Radio - Christian Podcast and TV Show.

We speak with Tony about the Bethel “Church” cult and its aberrant teachings, the role of the local church in sending preachers of the Gospel, unity in the faith (very powerful), and we spend a moment talking about MTV’s encouraging of young people to summon demons.

This is a powerful episode and we can’t wait for you to hear it and we would be honored if you shared it.

We’re grateful for your love, encouragement, prayers, and financial support. If you are a regular listener to Apologia Radio would you please consider giving a donation to help us with our ministry? We are a very small ministry of a small local church and depend upon the donations of brothers and sisters (just like YOU) to do what we are doing. We can’t do it without you. Please give at apologiaradio.com. Thank you!

We teach you how to defend the faith against Atheism and we discuss the biblical foundations of apologetics. It’s going to bless you!

We also discuss the new film from Disney: Tomorrowland. Luke, Sye, and Jeff got to spend some time together and saw the film in Canada. We discuss the message of Tomorrowland and ask the questions:

Read Shane Dodson’s Review of the film on Gospel Spam!
