Guest Bios Show Transcript Does Jesus’ command to love our enemies mean Christian women must remain in abusive marriages? That’s the troubling claim Pastor Paul LeBoutillier made in a recent sermon at Calvary Chapel in Boise, Idaho. While acknowledging that abuse is “terrible,” he implied Jesus’ words about loving abusers apply to abusive husbands. Is that a faithful reading of Scripture or a distortion rooted in patriarchy?
Guest Bios Show Transcript Daystar TV President Joni Lamb is once again framing serious allegations as “cancel culture” and “gossip”—while making it sound deeply spiritual. On a recent Table Talk episode, Lamb and her panel repeated familiar churchy lines like, “When we point a finger, we have all the others pointing back,” and “The same measure that they judge with, God will judge them.” But behind the platitudes lies a troubling context: credible claims that Lamb helped cover up the alleged sexual abuse of her granddaughter—claims first reported by The Roys Report last November.

Guest Bios Show Transcript What happens when people start questioning what they were taught about Jesus—and discover the church might be the problem, not their faith? In his talk from the Restore Conference, author and New Testament scholar Scot McKnight reframes the controversial topic of “deconstruction” as a faithful pursuit of Christ rather than a departure from belief. McKnight challenges common misconceptions about deconstruction, often mislabeled as rebellion or “exvangelical angst.” Drawing on his recent book Invisible Jesus, co-authored with musician and pastor Tommy Preson Phillips, McKnight shares insights from those rethinking their faith—not to abandon Jesus, but to more firmly grasp authentic faith in Him.

On this podcast, host Julie Roys welcomes Ron Cantor, a former close friend of Brown’s, to examine the video and the known facts.
In a “fauxpology,” Pastor Jimmy Evans doubled down on his past errant sermon saying Jesus lacked understanding and needed to submit to authority figures
Guest Bios Show Transcript In a sermon last Sunday, popular Bible teacher Jimmy Evans claimed Jesus, the Son of God, was “wrong.” The outlandish claim was part of a larger argument Evans was making that those in authority know best, so we should submit to them. Evans, who infamously told former Daystar TV executive Jonathan Lamb that his mother Joni Lamb was “the voice of God” to him, now argues that Jesus’ mother was essentially the voice of God to Jesus.

I think if Susie and Jonathan cannot go against their convictions then they are going to have to step down and away from the job. also I don't understand why Joni can't get somebody else to read positive viewer comments about her husband why force them to do it if they have a conscience against it?

great interview!

it would be nice to hear from Narcissistic Pastor's wives. For each of these pastors there are wives and many times, the children, grown or young, who are also victims of this type of manipulative predator. It's a sad story that I know a lot about through personal experience. I'm a former pastor's wife, a former member of WCCC ( where my former spouse was on staff) and a survivor-- but not without scars and bruises, and not without grown children who are still figuring it all out.

This is so disingenuous. Sheila Gregoire has an illogical hate-on for Focus on the Family and Emerson Eggerichs. She clearly has some sort of axe to grind based on a personal vendetta. She's pulling at straws and pulling splinters over a book that has had an overall positive impact on the Church. She ignored men completely in this interview and only spoke about women's grievances. Feminist deconstructionism is not helping Christians.

Great work Julie! Truth-telling is important, no matter how popular a preacher happens to be.
