How well do Americans understand what the Bible teaches? The State of Theology 2025 from Ligonier Ministries and LifeWay Research shines a light on what people across the U.S. say about God, sin, the Bible, salvation, and the nature of faith. In this episode, we’ll dig into surprising findings: many hold conflicting beliefs, evangelical convictions vary, and there are areas of theological confusion even among believers. What does this mean for the church, discipleship, and how we talk about truth in our neighborhoods?

Early Christians weren’t hated simply for being different or for spreading kindness—they were persecuted because of the exclusive claim of the gospel. By refusing to acknowledge Caesar as lord, they disrupted the delicate balance between the Jewish leaders and the Roman authorities. The gospel’s exclusivity was seen as a threat to the entire social order. In today’s episode, we’ll uncover the real reason behind Christian persecution and consider the stunning shock of Paul’s conversion—from persecutor to proclaimer of the very truth that turned the world upside down.

Before Paul became the great apostle to the Gentiles, he was a young man standing in approval as Stephen—the first Christian martyr—was stoned. In today’s episode, we’ll explore how Stephen’s bold witness and sacrificial death left a lasting mark on Paul, shaping his understanding of grace, suffering, and the mission of the church. Without Stephen’s testimony, there would be no Paul as we know him.

For years, commentators have debated whether America was built on a foundation of Greek reason or Judeo-Christian values—as if the two were locked in opposition. But what if the very genius of America is not in choosing one over the other, but in holding both together? In this episode, we explore how Greek reason, classical European thought, and the Bible don’t compete but actually complement one another, shaping a nation built on truth, order, liberty, and faith.

n the wake of Charlie Kirk’s tragic death, many Americans are grieving the loss of a bold voice for truth. Yet instead of respecting his memory, some have rushed to twist his words, rip his quotes out of context, and exploit his death for political gain. In this episode, we confront the hypocrisy head-on, exposing how dishonest framing not only disrespects Charlie but also poisons the national conversation. Join us as we call for clarity, honesty, and courage in a culture quick to weaponize tragedy.
