  • When the Lion Lost His Roar: Pentecostalism, Feminism, and the Emasculation of the Church
    Aug 18 2025

    Send us a text

    What happens when feminism dismantles biblical headship and Pentecostalism replaces shepherds with showmen? You get a lion without a roar — a church stripped of its strength, its witness, and its God-given order.

    In this episode of Reasonable Christianity, Roland O’Neil Albertus exposes how the fusion of feminism and Pentecostal excess has weakened men, silenced truth, and turned pulpits into stages. From the erosion of biblical manhood in the home, to the rise of charisma-driven leaders in the church, to the inevitable abuse of God’s Word and God’s people — the consequences are everywhere.

    But this is not a call to despair. It’s a call to recover the roar of biblical manhood, the beauty of biblical womanhood, and the strength of God’s unchanging design. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and voices like Voddie Baucham, R.C. Sproul, and C.S. Lewis, this episode challenges Christians to stand firm, rebuild the foundations, and live boldly countercultural lives for the sake of the gospel.

    This is not nostalgia. This is war for truth. And it’s time for the Lion to roar again!

  • From Crowns to Chaos: How Feminism Hijacked Biblical Womanhood
    Aug 11 2025

    Send us a text

    It’s one of the most popular slogans on Christian social media today: “Ladies, wear your crown.”
    But whose crown? And whose kingdom?

    In this episode, we trace the subtle infiltration of feminist ideology into the church — from the first wave to the fourth — and expose how “empowerment” language, dressed in church clothes, has quietly replaced God’s design for womanhood, marriage, and family. We’ll confront the counterfeit gospel that prioritizes self-rule over self-denial, unpack the biblical vision of covenant marriage, and show why the differences between men and women are not cultural constructs but God-ordained glories.

    You’ll hear why feminism didn’t need to kick down the church’s door — we opened it ourselves — and why reclaiming biblical womanhood and manhood isn’t nostalgia for the past but obedience for the present.

    💡 Bonus Resource: Yesterday (Sunday, 10 August 2025) we dropped a brand-new PDF for our patrons — The Feminist Trojan Horse: Spotting and Standing Against Cultural Lies in the Church. This companion guide helps you identify modern ideologies that look Christian but war against the truth.

    🔥 Coming Next Episode: Don’t miss our next episode — When the Lion Lost His Roar: How Pentecostalism and Feminism Emasculated the Church. We’ll tackle how theological drift and cultural compromise have silenced the bold, biblical witness of the church, and how to get the roar back.

  • Jihad vs. Judgment: Why Old Testament Warfare Isn’t the Same as Islamic Terror
    Aug 4 2025

    Send us a text

    Islamic terrorists claim divine backing for their violence. Atheists say the Bible is no better. But are Old Testament wars really the same as Islamic jihad?

    In this controversial bonus episode, we confront one of the hardest questions Christians face:
    “How can the God of the Old Testament command war — and still be good?”

    We’ll walk through:

    • Why jihad and biblical warfare are not morally equivalent
    • How Islam self-destructs by affirming the Bible — but denying its core message
    • Why the Qur’an’s denial of the cross destroys any hope of salvation
    • And why the judgment of Canaan points us not to genocide, but to the glory of Christ

    If you’ve ever felt cornered by this question — or struggled with it yourself — this episode is for you.

    We don’t flinch. We go straight into the fire…
    And find a God who is just, merciful, and unshakably holy.

  • Genocide and God: Did the Old Testament Authorize Ethnic Cleansing?
    Jul 28 2025

    Send us a text

    Did God really command the destruction of entire nations in the Old Testament — including women and children?

    This episode tackles one of the most difficult and controversial questions in Scripture. With biblical clarity and theological depth, we explore the Canaanite conquest, the justice of God, and how it all points to the cross of Christ.

    We also confront modern accusations of “divine genocide” and show why the Bible’s vision of judgment is nothing like Islamic jihad or modern terrorism.

    🔍 Topics include:

    • The depravity of the Canaanite nations
    • God's justice, patience, and mercy
    • Hyperbolic war language in ancient texts
    • Why this was judgment — not genocide
    • How this all leads us to Jesus

  • THE TRINITY: One God, Three Persons
    Jul 21 2025

    Send us a text

    How can God be one and yet three?
    It’s one of the deepest mysteries of the Christian faith—and one of its most essential truths.

    In this episode of Reasonable Christianity, we dive into the doctrine of the Trinity with bold clarity and biblical conviction. Using Scripture, logic, and the voices of church history, we unpack what it means for God to be one Being in three distinct Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    You’ll discover:

    • Why God must be timeless, spaceless, immaterial, omnipotent, and personal
    • How philosophical arguments point to a necessary, moral, all-powerful Creator
    • Where the Old Testament foreshadows the triune nature of God
    • How each Person of the Godhead fully possesses divine attributes
    • Why the Trinity isn’t just a doctrine—it’s the foundation of the Gospel

    This episode features insights from Augustine, Aquinas, Piper, Sproul, Craig, and more. It’s a call to worship the Triune God with both mind and heart.

  • What Is Truth in a Post-Truth World?
    Jul 13 2025

    Send us a text

    Is truth dead?

    In a culture where biology is called bigotry, emotions outweigh evidence, and personal perception replaces reality — this question is no longer philosophical… it's personal.

    In this bold episode of Reasonable Christianity, Roland unpacks one of the most urgent issues of our time: the death of objective truth and the rise of postmodern confusion. From Nietzsche to Disney, from the Enlightenment to the transgender movement, we trace the historical, philosophical, and spiritual descent into a culture drunk on lies.

    But we don’t stop there.

    You’ll discover why truth is not just a concept — it’s a Person. And why standing for that truth today may cost you everything… but is still worth it.

  • Loving Jesus Isn’t Enough: Why Theology Still Matters.
    Jul 7 2025

    Send us a text

    Can’t we just love Jesus and leave all that theology stuff to the experts? Isn’t doctrine divisive, intellectual, and cold? In this bold and biblically grounded episode of Reasonable Christianity, we confront the dangerous myth that feelings are enough—and we make the unapologetic case that you cannot truly love Jesus if you don't care about truth.

    From early church heresies to modern worship culture, we trace how theology is not a luxury—it’s a lifeline. Whether you're a new believer or a seasoned leader, this episode will stir your heart and sharpen your mind to see that doctrine isn’t dead weight—it’s fuel for devotion.

    📖 Featuring Scripture (NASB2020), insights from church history, and real-world examples, this episode answers:

    • Why does doctrine matter for ordinary Christians?
    • What happens when we separate emotion from truth?
    • How does loving God with your mind transform your walk with Christ?
