The 2024 election revealed more than political preferences — it exposed deep truths about religion’s place in American life. From voting patterns to cultural backlash, faith once again stood at the center of the national conversation. In this episode, we examine what the election tells us about belief, identity, and the future of religion in America.

In this episode, we take a hard look at the rise of “dark woke”—a shift within progressive activism where empathy gives way to outrage and moral certainty turns punitive. Focusing especially on how this mindset is shaping many white liberal women, we explore how compassion culture becomes call-out culture, why shaming is mistaken for justice, and what happens when identity and ideology replace grace. This isn’t a rant—it’s an honest conversation about how movements meant to heal can quietly l...
In this episode, we address a growing challenge many churches face today: what to do when protesters disrupt your worship service. From practical safety tips to maintaining a spirit of grace and peace, we provide guidance for pastors, church staff, and ushers on how to respond effectively without escalating tensions.

What happens when the Bible stops being just words on a page and becomes a place you can walk? In this episode, Dr. Shah and Ryan reflect on their recent trip to Israel and how standing in the land of the Bible deepened their confidence in the truth, reliability, and authority of God’s Word. From geography and history to Scripture coming alive in real time, we talk about how seeing the land for ourselves reinforced what we already believed—and strengthened our faith in the God who keeps His p...
Denmark says Greenland isn’t for sale, yet history suggests the objection isn’t about sovereignty—it’s about who is asking.

The situation in Iran is tense and rapidly evolving. From widespread protests fueled by economic hardship to a harsh government crackdown, the nation faces a crisis that has drawn global attention. Meanwhile, international tensions, especially with the U.S., add layers of complexity and risk. In this episode, we unpack what’s happening inside Iran, why it matters for the world, and what it means for the future of the region.

Suffering is often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure—but Scripture does not support that conclusion. While the Bible clearly teaches that God is righteous and that He responds to sin, it does not teach that every instance of suffering is the result of God’s anger. In this episode, we examine the biblical distinction between God’s wrath, His discipline, and His providential purposes, showing why pain is not reliable evidence of divine judgment CONFERENCE REGISTRATION: https://subspla...
Suffering often comes with an unspoken accusation: What did you do to deserve this? While Scripture does teach that we reap what we sow, that truth is often misused to explain pain it was never meant to explain. Join us as we separate biblical truth from oversimplified theology and offer hope to those walking through undeserved suffering.

Angel Studios—best known in Christian circles for The Chosen and Sound of Freedom—recently announced a high-profile animated adaptation of Animal Farm featuring a transgender-identified actor in a major role, sparking significant backlash among Christian audiences online. Some believers have questioned the decision as inconsistent with a biblical worldview and raised concerns about the influence of cultural ideologies in projects from a studio once embraced as a faith-friendly platform CONFER...

In a dramatic and unprecedented development, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured by U.S. forces during a military operation in Caracas on January 3, 2026, and flown to New York to face federal charges related to drug trafficking and narco-terrorism in U.S. court.

Hell is one of the most difficult—and most debated—doctrines in Christian theology, yet Scripture speaks about it with sobering clarity. In this episode, we take a deeper dive into what the Bible actually teaches about hell, why it matters for the gospel, and how misunderstandings about judgment affect our view of God’s justice and holiness.

In this episode, we thoughtfully respond to recent comments by Kirk Cameron regarding the nature of hell. While affirming Christian unity and sincerity, we examine where these views diverge from the historic, biblical teaching of Scripture. With clarity and charity, we ask why doctrines of judgment matter, how the church has understood hell throughout history, and why getting this right isn’t about winning arguments—but about faithfulness to God’s Word.

Confusion over church leadership has caused unnecessary tension in many congregations. In this episode, we take a biblical look at how deacons and elders are meant to function—not as power structures or control mechanisms, but as servants who support the mission of the church.

“Accountability” is often the go-to argument for why churches must have elders—but is that how the Bible actually uses the concept? In this episode, we examine what Scripture really teaches about accountability in church leadership and why the term is sometimes misused.

Should every church have elders—and is it a biblical requirement? In this episode, we take a look at what Scripture actually says about church leadership, why some churches place heavy emphasis on elders, and why others function faithfully without them.

In this episode, we explore why the book of Job shifts from calm prose to intense poetry and how that literary move reflects the way trauma is processed in real life. When suffering overwhelms Job, explanation gives way to expression, and poetry becomes the language of grief, lament, and faith under pressure.

Job’s suffering became so overwhelming that he wished he had never been born. In this episode, we walk through Job’s darkest words and wrestle honestly with a reality many believers are afraid to admit — sometimes pain runs so deep that we long for death, not because we lack faith, but because we are exhausted. We explore what Scripture allows us to say in our anguish, how God meets His people in despair, and why Job’s story reminds us that honest lament is not the opposite of faith, but ofte...
The Christmas season brings unique ministry challenges: more services, more people, and less margin. In this episode, we discuss how leaders can protect excellence, shepherd their teams well, and keep Christ at the center when ministry demands are at their peak.
