Faith Over Football with Mizzou Head Football Coach Eliah Drinkwitz

It’s finally football season! We’re kicking it off by sitting down with Mizzou head football coach, Eliah Drinkwitz. (M-I-Z, anyone?) Keith and Coach Drinkwitz start by tackling some deep questions about his success, whether or not he believes it’s the product of hard work or luck, and how he’s able to stay humble. He shares his story: how he grew up in a Christian home, how he got into coaching, and how he makes time for his family as a husband and a girl dad of four. Then, he gets into some sports-related topics: Has NIL ruined college football for fans? What are his thoughts on sports betting?

Is Extremism More Common on the Far-Left or Far-Right? with Elizabeth Neumann

In recent years, there’s been a definitive uptick in tribalism, extremism, and extremist violence. But is the same true inside the church itself? Former counterterrorism official, Elizabeth Neumann, is back on the pod today to provide a fascinating look into the process of radicalization that has crept into evangelicalism. She starts by discussing “Trump loyalty tests” (a story worth the listen in and of itself!) and how Trump’s demeanor and rhetoric may have influenced violence and extremism in Christian circles. She explains extremism and walks through the step-by-step process of radicalization. She details why she believes that far-right extremism is far more common than extremism on the far-left. Plus, how close is the average evangelical to extremism? How can we love someone who’s trending toward radicalism and violence? Listen now!

Cultural Christianity is Nothing New with Nadya Williams

“If today’s church were more like the early church, we wouldn’t have all of these problems.” Ever heard people talk like this? Many Christians today assume that the earliest Christ followers were zealous converts who were much more devoted to their faith than typical, modern-day church-goers. But today’s guest, Nadya Williams, is here to explain how cultural sins have always been a part of the church’s story. Nadya is a historian and the author of “Cultural Christians in the Early Church.” She first explains what it means to be a cultural Christian. She then details how Roman culture was different from 21st-century American culture and provides examples of early cultural Christianity. Plus, why should we care about this today? And can politics bring about the kingdom of God? Listen now!

Culture Change Starts with You + The Person “Doing It Wrong”

Most Christians agree that they must be culturally engaged. But there’s less agreement on how affecting cultural change is best accomplished. Which approach do you take? Maybe you’re like an advisor who wants to make gradual strides from the top down. Or maybe you’re more like a prophet who isn’t afraid to call out injustice and demand immediate change. Which is the right method? Both! Today, Keith and Patrick break down these two approaches to engaging with today’s culture, explaining how Christian “insiders” and “outsiders” are both necessary effectors of change. They provide biblical, historical, and modern-day examples of each to demonstrate why we must own our differences and work together to be Christlike culture changers. Listen now!

Trump’s RNC Tells Social Conservatives: “You’re Fired!”

If you watched the Republican National Convention, you noticed several things that seemed… out of place. A Hindu prayer. Hulk Hogan. And a platform that’s strayed from conventional conservative values, including traditional marriage and the sanctity of life. It’s clear: The “new” Republican party is here. And its “Trumpublican” values seem to have sidelined social conservatives. So, what do Christians do now that there is no pro-life party? Will they stand for truth over tribal alliances? Today, Keith and Patrick team up to discuss how Trump seems to have turned his back on the evangelicals who made him President. How will conservatives and Christians respond? Will they change their principles? Or, finally, choose truth over tribe? Listen now!

Will Trump’s Assassination Attempt Finally Wake Us Up?

On July 13, 2024, former President Donald Trump was almost assassinated at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. While it’s not our place to weigh in on many aspects of this horrific attack, we do want to focus on the church: How should Christians respond? On today’s episode, Keith and Patrick issue a call for Christians to think carefully and clearly, put truth over tribe, and realize that our response can have the power to shape the future of the country. They examine how our political climate has led to this point, explaining how our recent political rhetoric has reveled in catastrophizing and how this has not been the norm of civil discourse over the past several decades. They break down how it’s possible to be so violently divided from the “other side” and how political violence, in general, is increasing in both parties. They end by providing practical steps that Christians should take in this moment. Will this assassination attempt be an inflection point? Will the tribalized church finally wake up? Listen now!

You Don’t Deconstruct from Jesus with Brant Hansen

Life is hard. God is good. Let’s dance. That’s the mantra (and the book title) of today’s podcast guest, Brant Hansen. Brant is an award-winning author and radio show host whose life provides a tangible example of the joy often missing in Christianity today. But his joy doesn’t stem from ignorance or a life free of trauma. Hear him explain to Keith how even though he could have deconstructed his faith, he never could fathom deconstructing from Jesus himself. He uses his own “strange” experiences to illustrate Jesus’s model of Christian neighboring and radical generosity. He also touches on gender roles and a true, biblical vision for masculinity.

Trump vs. Biden: Make Debates Great Again

According to recent polls, 70%+ of Americans don’t want Donald Trump or Joe Biden running for President. So, how did we get here? This week, Keith and Patrick join up to discuss golf handicaps--uhh, wait, we mean the first Presidential debate of 2024. They dissect the ways that TV and social media have changed how we judge debates and made them far less substantive overall. And why can’t Presidential candidates tell the truth? Does our tribalistic culture even care about truth anymore? Then they get into the question many are wondering: Why are these two candidates our options? They break down the institutional failure of today’s political parties and how politicians care more about their personal brands. Plus, were people really surprised by Biden’s condition? Who do they dub as the biggest loser from the debate? And how should we move forward as Christians? Listen now!

Marriage: The Recipe for Happiness with Brad Wilcox

Fewer Americans are getting married today than ever in our nation’s history. But why? And is it really that big of a deal? Today, Keith sits down with Brad Wilcox, Professor of Sociology and author of “Get Married,” to learn why society should care about preserving our country’s most fundamental institution.

He uses research to prove why married couples are happier than their counterparts and how marriage positively affects men in particular. Plus, what about dating apps?

The Meritocracy Myth with Daniel Markovits

If you grew up in the U.S., you’ve probably believed (and maybe you still do!) that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. You get ahead in this world based on your accomplishments. Right? Well, not so fast. What if this foundational American axiom is all a myth? Daniel Markovits, a professor at Yale and author of “The Meritocracy Trap,” joins Keith on the pod today to discuss. He starts by pointing out the problems with modern-day meritocracy: It feeds inequality, dismantles the middle class, and gives an unfair advantage to the elite. But what other options do we have as a country if our achievement-oriented society isn’t working? And does Markovits attribute his own successes to hard work and good choices or sheer luck? Plus, considering the claims of figures like Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and singer Oliver Anthony, does he believe that more and more Americans are “waking up” to the meritocracy myth? Listen now!

The End of End Times Theology with Daniel Hummel

If your faith was affected by the Left Behind series, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

That’s what happens today when Daniel Hummel, author of “The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism,” joins Keith on the pod! First, Daniel breaks down the three key components to this theological system: its view of the Church and Israel, its teaching on End Times, and its literal interpretation of Scripture. And why is it problematic? What denominations hold to dispensationalism? How did it get thrust into politics? Plus, Daniel shares why its power and influence have waned, now making it more of a marginalized tradition. But does he believe there will be a revival of dispensationalism in the future? Listen now!

Is a Smartphone a Dumb Idea for Kids?

What’s happening to Gen Z? Since 2010, this generation has seen a 150% increase in depression. One in four teen girls reports experiencing a major depressive disorder in the last year. 37% of college students report feeling anxious “all the time.” New research shows that social media is no longer just a correlation to this problem, but the root cause. Drawing data from Jonathan Haidt’s latest book, “The Anxious Generation,” Keith and Patrick team up on the pod to examine Gen Z’s current mental health crisis. Hear how smartphones and social media *literally* rewire a child’s developing brain and how this leads to negative outcomes such as less sleep, higher rates of major depressive disorders, loneliness, suicidal tendencies, poor education, eating disorders, and more. Plus, when is the worst time to give a boy and a girl a smartphone, and how does gender play a distinct role? Are we all, adults included, addicted to our phones? And what about parental pushbacks to withholding smartphones from children? Shouldn’t kids have a phone in case of an emergency? Listen now and learn some practical next steps you can take to protect your children from these devices that are destroying their mental health.

Wade’s overturning to IVF controversies to Trump’s recent abortion stance to surprising state laws surrounding the issue, abortion is all over the news right now and Josh Brahm joins us this week to discuss. But he’s not the stereotypical pro-lifer. In fact, he claims that one of the main goals of his organization, Equal Rights Institute, is to “help make pro-lifers less weird” by bringing more apologetics to the movement. Hear him explain why he wasn’t surprised by conservative states passing more permissive abortion laws post-Roe. And what common ground can pro-lifers find with Trump, given his recent abortion stance? How should pro-life people feel about exceptions to abortion, like rape, incest, and the health of the mother? What are his thoughts on IVF? Josh also addresses our recent episode with Bradley Pierce and why he isn’t an abortion abolitionist. Plus, is the pro-life movement doomed to decline with religious decline? Listen now!
