Even though there’s plenty of chaos, division, and civil unrest, we are reminded here in America how blessed this country has been through history as we look at Nigeria and harsh persecution of Christians going on there continually. We get a perspective check in segment 1. We also look at the news and how the city of Seattle has been invaded by anarchists and radicals – and there is much public pressure to conform to the left and blindly follow the activists. We discuss why this is wrong.
WE DISCUSS results from recent surveys of Christian pastors and regular church attendees regarding on-line services, the coronavirus, and what church may look like in the coming months. In segments 2 and 3, David tackles what he calls a cancer in the American church: secularism and social justice, identity politics and progressive ideology.
Today, we discuss some teachings Mike is taking his church through in Hebrews 13, as well how Christians can be more discerning about what’s happening in our culture and country. We talk about Christians being divided, social justice vs. true justice, the Gospel, and God’s ultimate sovereignty over all people, events, and history.
We discuss trials and the testing of our faith aside from this bizarre season of church restrictions, coronavirus fears, and now radicals rioting and wreaking havoc in cities across the country. The Supreme Court recently ruled against churches, some governors are discriminating against Christians, the fruit of leftist “education” in the U.S. and the fact 58% of young people see no problem with riots, and talk of “abolishing police departments. How did we get here?
Today we to look at Christian maturity and sanctification in the life of the disciple of Jesus Christ, as well as the delicate balance of Christians working with the Holy Spirit in this lifelong process. Our guest is Pastor Gary Gilley and his brand new study book is: Growing in Christ: Laying the Foundations of Christian Maturity.
On today’s podcast, our special guest is Dr. Ragy Girgis, an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Columbia University department of psychiatry. His book is called, “On Satan, Demons, and Psychiatry” – Exploring Mental Illness in the Bible.
WE DISCUSS: misconceptions that Christians have about mental illness, depression and medication, Christians in the science and medical fields, mental illness in the pages of Scripture, King Saul’s psychotic depression and paranoia, David’s extremes of elation and deep depression, Jonah’s narcissism, Nebuchadnezzar’s breakdown, and the miraculous healings performed by Jesus.
Patrick refers to the Coronavirus as the “great Panic of 2020.” He explains why in this podcast. We also discuss several topics including the recent rioting and anarchy in American cities, the limitations on Christians and churches, Democratic governors and technocrats such as Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates, and some of the damage the shutdowns have done.

Today’s discussion with special guest, Elizabeth Johnston “The Activist Mommy” focuses on the agendas of the left impacting America’s children, particularly the radical sex “education” taught in government schools. David also addresses the COVID 19 nursing home death numbers from state to state and the irresponsible policies that led to this tragedy.
Pastor Chris Quintana and David Fiorazo discuss: Church leaders and pastors’ general response to opening up of churches. (Is on-line “worship” a poor substitute for church gatherings, in-person ministry?) Media’s mishandling of COVID 19 reporting and how the Left wants to keep things shut down indefinitely (or at least until November). Christians struggling with fear and conforming to the world; are we losing our influence? A comparison of Chinese Coronavirus and the Hong Kong Flu; and Chris’s recent interview with Doreen Virtue about Contemplative Prayer
An honest evaluation and pursuit of the truth is absolutely necessary in the Christian life. But in America (and the agenda-driven media in particular), the roots of deception go deep. Absolutes are questioned, history is either forgotten or rewritten, media has lost all credibility, and good people have fallen for lies, broken promises, and identity politics.
WE DISCUSS: Eternal perspective, breaking news of the death of Ravi Zacharias.
How on-line or ‘virtual’ church services may be necessary but is the church truly being edified, equipped?
The New Apostolic Reformation’s (NAR) general response to COVID 19 and misuse of Psalm 91.
Specific (failed) prophecies NAR leaders have given about coronavirus (many were vague to begin with)
Examples of leaders or “Apostles” of the NAR redefining prayer (from petitionary/making requests of God) and making verbal declarations and decrees that somehow release God’s power to create or alter reality.
Today, we discuss the importance of educating Christian children at home. Our guest is author, homeshooling expert, and editor of ChristianWorldview.net, Israel Wayne. He and his wife, Brook are raising ten godly kids!
We discuss technology, peer pressure, why some children leave the faith, gospel-centered parenting, the impact of culture and the LGBT movement, and the sobering statistics regarding ‘hours of influence’ in children’s lives.
