Can Roman Catholicism Build Great Nations? [CrossPolitic Show]

FLF, LLC — Fri, 15 May 2026 14:04:00 +0000

An emperor stands barefoot in the snow for three days. Not a prisoner. Not a peasant. The ruler of Christendom, waiting for a bishop to open a door. That is not a medieval curiosity. That is a system. And that system had a logic. A bishop with no army teaches an emperor with every army how to repent.

But watch what happens next. In 500 years, that prophetic voice becomes the hand that places the crown. The same weapon that stopped a massacre at Thessalonica is now the weapon that puts a king in the snow at Canossa. Same tool. Completely different purpose. By the High Middle Ages, Rome was not a voice outside the throne. Rome was the operating system of Western Civilization, and grace would either flow through her pipes or not flow at all.

Then one monk reads his Bible. And here in 2026, some of the loudest voices on the right are telling you that the machine he dismantled is exactly what America needs now. That the Protestant experiment produced the chaos we are drowning in. That the only way home is across the Tiber. Is that true? And if it isn't, what actually built the freest nation in the history of man?

The Most Misunderstood Prophecy in Matthew 24? [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Fri, 15 May 2026 11:54:00 +0000

Did Jesus predict the literal end of the world in Matthew 24?

Or was He using prophetic language to describe the fall of Jerusalem and the end of the Old Covenant age in AD 70?

In this episode of Down to Earth Theology, Matt Plett examines one of the most debated passages in all of biblical prophecy: the darkening of the sun, moon, and stars in Matthew 24:29–31.

By tracing the Old Testament background behind Jesus’ words, Matt shows how Scripture consistently uses cosmic imagery to describe the سقوط of nations, kingdoms, and covenantal systems.

From Isaiah and Ezekiel to Joel, Acts, and Revelation, this study explores whether Matthew 24 was fulfilled in the first century through the destruction of Jerusalem and the rise of Christ’s New Covenant Kingdom.

Topics covered:

- Matthew 24 explained

- The Olivet Discourse

- AD 70 and Bible prophecy

- Sun, moon, and stars imagery

- Apocalyptic language in Scripture

- Preterism vs futurism

- Jesus’ prophecy about Jerusalem

- Old Covenant to New Covenant transition

A Much-Needed Constitutional Primer by Legal Scholar Adam Macleod [God, Law, and Liberty]

David Fowler — Fri, 15 May 2026 09:30:00 +0000

Today's episode jumps right into the introduction of law professor Adam Macleod, a renowed expert on common law, by the Chair of the Tennessee Senate's judiciary committee in 2019. Professor Macleod testified about the relationship of common law to the forgotten and overlooked Ninth Amendment, and their relationship to the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee that "persons" are not to be deprived of "life" without "due process of law." Everyone needs to absorb his testimony, even if it takes repeated listens. It is the understanding of the Constitution and the legislative branch rarely taught in law schools!

The Forgotten Protestant View of Church & State [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Thu, 14 May 2026 12:17:00 +0000

What relationship should exist between the church and the civil magistrate?

Should the state remain “neutral” toward religion — or does Scripture teach that rulers have real duties concerning the true faith?

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird explore the historic Protestant understanding of church and state, including the forgotten distinction between in sacra and circa sacra — categories that shaped Christian political theology for centuries.

Can governments acknowledge Christ without controlling the church?

What authority belongs uniquely to the church?

And why have modern Christians largely abandoned the historic Reformed view of the civil magistrate?

This episode examines:

Church vs. state authority

Christian nationalism and religious neutrality

The role of civil rulers in Scripture

Erastianism vs. radical separationism

Protestant political theology

The legacy of the Reformation

Whether governments have duties toward Christianity

If you’ve ever wondered whether a “neutral” state is actually possible, this discussion is essential.

Riff 88 - Liquid Smoke and Unimpressive Talents [The Comedian Next Door]

FLF, LLC — Thu, 14 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Imagine standing next to a cozy fire, watching the smoke dance up into the night sky like a little ghost. It’s something we all know, but there are so many myths and misunderstandings about smoke. What if we took a moment to really dig into what smoke means in different cultures and how it triggers our senses?
Now, think about a chef hustling in a busy kitchen, whipping up some liquid smoke. This super cool process turns the essence of smoke into something delicious, making our favorite meals even tastier. How did this age-old technique come to be, and what tasty secrets does it have in store for our palates?
As we look up at the stars, the big question about alien life keeps popping up. What is it that pulls us toward the cosmos? The science behind UFO sightings mixes with our biggest curiosities and fears. Are we truly alone in this enormous universe, or is there a lot more waiting for us out there?
In the grand scheme of things, we often wonder about morality and what our universe is all about. These deep questions sit at the crossroads of faith and skepticism, pushing us to reflect on our beliefs and how we understand life itself. What kind of truths do we stumble upon when we dive into these timeless questions?
Every little skill we have, no matter how small, adds value and shows off our unique talents. In a world that often celebrates big achievements, we should take a moment to appreciate those little things that bring us joy and connect us with others. How do these small talents weave into the fabric of our everyday lives?
As we dive into the adventurous world of space exploration, there are tons of myths and big challenges to tackle. The endless universe encourages us to dream big, but it also reminds us of our limits. What does it really mean to settle on other planets, and what hurdles do we need to jump over to explore beyond our home?
Scientists have an impact that goes way beyond their labs; they shape public opinions and spark conversations where science meets philosophy. In a world where knowledge gives us power, how do we manage this mix, and what part do we play in the ongoing chat about how we understand reality?

Kidnapped in Kuala Lumpur (One Year Ago Today)│Prison Pulpit #82 [China Compass]

FLF, LLC — Thu, 14 May 2026 07:56:00 +0000

The Fall of Sam Allberry and the Failure of Side B Christianity [The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation]

FLF, LLC — Wed, 13 May 2026 19:21:00 +0000

In this week’s episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Joe Boot respond to the fall of Sam Allberry and examine what it reveals about Side B Christianity, evangelical accommodation, and the church’s loss of confidence in biblical categories.

Rather than focusing on scandal, they address the deeper theological issues: sexual identity, sinful desire, sanctification, marriage, singleness, and the gospel’s power to truly transform sinners in Christ.

Does “All Israel Will Be Saved” Mean What You Think? (Romans 11) [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Wed, 13 May 2026 11:29:00 +0000

What does the Bible actually teach about the future of Israel—and have we been reading Romans 11 wrong?

In this episode, we challenge the common assumptions around “all Israel will be saved” and unpack a view deeply rooted in church history that most Christians rarely hear. Instead of a future defined by endless conflict, Scripture points to something far bigger—and far more hopeful.

You’ll discover:

What Paul really means in Romans 11

Whether “replacement theology” is a misunderstanding

If God’s promises to Israel are physical, spiritual, or both

How the New Testament defines the true people of God

This isn’t about speculation—it’s about reading the Bible on its own terms. 👉 The result? A radically different vision of the future: Not division—but a growing, global kingdom as the gospel transforms the nations before Christ returns.

If you’ve ever wrestled with Israel, prophecy, or the end times, this will reframe everything.

Ep. 290 - You Are The SOP [Business 300]

Philip Kulishov — Wed, 13 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Standard operating procedures exist to do something simple: ensure that the work gets done the same way, at the same standard, every time. Writing them is the easy part. But every SOP is being constantly evaluated for relevance by the people who execute it, and the primary evidence they're weighing is what the owner himself does. Not what he says.

Pastors, Murderers & UFOs: What Is Happening? [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Tue, 12 May 2026 11:45:00 +0000

A celebrity pastor falls from ministry.

A child murderer is sentenced to death after horrifying testimony shocks the nation.

And pastors across America are suddenly talking about UFO disclosure, psy-ops, and “interdimensional beings.”

What on earth is happening?

In this episode of The World View, Alex Kocman examines three of the strangest and darkest stories of the week—and why Christians need theological clarity more than panic.

From the collapse of modern evangelical anthropology, to justice and evil in a fallen world, to the growing obsession with UFO disclosure and spiritual deception, this episode asks the deeper question beneath the headlines: What happens when a civilization loses its grip on truth?

Christians cannot afford gullibility. But neither can we afford materialistic unbelief. Scripture already gives categories for evil, deception, principalities, powers, sin, justice, repentance, and hope.

And above every headline, scandal, conspiracy, and fear campaign stands one name:

Jesus Christ.

UFO Files: Aliens Inbound or Demonic Activity? [The Sentinel Report]

Alex Newman — Mon, 11 May 2026 21:10:00 +0000

On this explosive episode of Alex Newman’s The Sentinel Report, shocking questions are taking center stage as governments, global institutions, and even religious leaders appear to be preparing society for the possibility of extraterrestrial encounters. It may sound like science fiction, but with growing rhetoric from the White House, Congress, the Pentagon, and the United Nations, Americans must ask: What exactly is happening, and why now?

At the same time, fear surrounding hantavirus is being elevated in ways eerily reminiscent of the COVID-19 narrative—raising serious concerns about whether another public-health panic is being weaponized ahead of critical political battles. As always, knowledge is power, and understanding these agendas is essential for protecting liberty, faith, and personal sovereignty.

Joining Alex is an outstanding lineup of guests: Senator Joe Nicola breaks down urgent legislative efforts to rein in artificial intelligence before it becomes a tool of tyranny; crypto pioneer Ray Youssef shares vital insights on financial freedom in an era of digital control; Citizens Defending Freedom CEO Colby Wiltse explains how pastors and faith leaders can be equipped to stand boldly for truth; and Sean Tario of MARK37 reveals practical strategies to secure your smartphone and defend your privacy against growing surveillance threats.

From AI and digital currency to spiritual warfare and personal freedom, this power-packed episode delivers the critical information you need to stay informed, prepared, and ready for the battles ahead. Buckle up—this is one broadcast you cannot afford to miss.

Fail Better [In the Bullpen]

Mark Dewey — Mon, 11 May 2026 16:00:00 +0000

The Lies Targeting Idaho's Christian Governor Candidate (ft. Mark Fitzpatrick) [CrossPolitic Show]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 11 May 2026 14:31:00 +0000

On this episode of CrossPolitic One-on-One, the Waterboy welcomes Mark Fitzpatrick, founder of Old State Saloon and candidate for Idaho Governor, into the studio to talk about the lies and controversies targeting his campaign and why exposing them requires biblical courage, a thick skin, and a willingness to stand firm against a political establishment that would rather silence him than debate him.

Why Christians Stop Praying (And How to Start Again) [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 11 May 2026 11:33:00 +0000

Why do so many Christians struggle to pray consistently? In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing explores why prayer slowly becomes a last resort instead of the first response of faith.

Looking at Scripture—and ultimately the life of Jesus—this episode calls believers back to a life of real communion with God.

Prayer is not empty repetition, religious performance, or spiritual panic in moments of crisis. It is fellowship with the living God, strength for weary hearts, peace in anxiety, and power for everyday faithfulness.

If your prayer life feels dry, distant, inconsistent, or forgotten, this conversation is for you.

Did Prophecy Drive Nero? [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 11 May 2026 11:26:00 +0000

Did Nero believe he was the fulfillment of prophecy?

In Episode 5 of this Revelation series, Jay Rogers explores a fascinating and often overlooked question: how first-century messianic expectations may have shaped the actions of the Roman Empire—and possibly Nero himself.

Ancient sources like Tacitus, Suetonius, and Josephus all point to a widespread belief that a ruler would rise from Judea to dominate the world. Rome didn’t ignore that prophecy—they feared it.

In this episode:

The Roman awareness of Jewish prophecy

Why Judea was seen as a growing threat

How messianic expectations fueled unrest and rebellion

The connection between Daniel’s vision and imperial ambition

Whether Nero may have seen himself as part of the prophecy

As tensions rose and revolt broke out, prophecy and politics collided—leading to one of the most decisive moments in history.

This episode reframes the story of Nero, not just as a tyrant—but as a ruler reacting to a world shaped by prophecy.

Ep. 289 - Decisions Over Effort [Business 300]

Philip Kulishov — Mon, 11 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000

Effort is not the same thing as progress. Outcomes are shaped more by decisions than by effort. Even though you can see someone working late, you can't see the chain of choices that determined whether that late night was productive or pointless. Effort is visible. Decisions, not so much.

Post-Protestant, Post-Literate [The Pugcast]

Deportation Purgatory + Mega Churches in Muslim Malaysia [China Compass]

You missed Jesus in Genesis 1 [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Sat, 09 May 2026 13:54:00 +0000

What if Genesis 1 is doing far more than describing creation?

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour reveals how the very first words of Scripture point directly to Jesus Christ and the miracle of salvation.

The command, “Let there be light,” is not just about the creation of the world—it foreshadows the spiritual light Christ brings into dead hearts.

From Genesis to John to the writings of Paul, the Bible tells one unified story:

the God who created light is the same God who shines the light of salvation through Jesus Christ.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How Genesis 1 points to Christ

• Why “light” is a salvation theme throughout Scripture

• The connection between creation and new creation

• How spiritual blindness is overcome through Christ alone

• Why the Gospel is woven into the Bible from the very beginning

This is the beauty of biblical theology: the shadows of the Old Testament find their substance in Christ.

70 AD: The Worst Judgment in History? | Matthew 24 Explained [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Fri, 08 May 2026 11:45:00 +0000

Was the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD really the worst tribulation in history?

In this episode of the Olivet Discourse series, Matt Plett unpacks Matthew 24 and explains why Jesus described this event as unmatched in all of history. This wasn’t just physical devastation—it was a covenantal judgment. Jerusalem’s rejection of Christ marked the end of the Old Covenant world and the fulfillment of God’s promised curses.

Drawing from Scripture, historical records from Josephus, and insights from Matthew Henry and John Calvin, this episode shows how 70 AD stands as a decisive turning point in redemptive history. You’ll also see how Jesus’ warnings about false prophets, tribulation, and the “coming of the Son of Man” were fulfilled in this generation—not as the end of the world, but as a Day of the Lord's judgment. This episode will sharpen your understanding of Bible prophecy, strengthen your confidence in Scripture, and refocus your attention on the advance of the Gospel in history.

Imagining wild scenarios for amber alert chasers and local incidents
The quirks of grocery store encounters and odd child abduction rumors
Appreciating the culture of rural and chain stores like Rural King and Tractor Supply
The fascination with Buc-ee's and their giant restrooms, snacks, and billboard advertisements
The humor behind the perfect pronunciation and mispronunciations of English words, including "Worcestershire" and "Jazz"
Light-hearted café talk about beard growth, glasses, and the aging process
Amusing thoughts on eye exercises and the possibility of a YouTube channel dedicated to focusing exercises

You’ve Been Taught Authority Backwards [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Thu, 07 May 2026 11:14:00 +0000

What does the sun have to do with leadership?

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird uncover a biblical pattern most people overlook: God didn’t just give commands about authority—He built it into creation itself.

From Genesis to the Psalms, the sun is portrayed as a ruler of the day, and that imagery reveals how authority is meant to function. This episode explores how true leadership is designed to give life, establish order, and operate within God-given limits—not dominate or distort.

If you want a clearer, biblical vision for authority in the home, church, and civil sphere, this framework changes how you see it.

Topics include:

- Why the sun is called a “ruler” in Scripture

- The purpose and limits of authority

- How leadership reflects God’s design in creation

- What happens when authority is distorted

Critical Iran Outreach Update + Strategic China Training│Prison Pulpit #81 [China Compass]

FLF, LLC — Thu, 07 May 2026 03:17:00 +0000

I’m finally back home in Malaysia (at least for a little while) after a truly “round-the-world” trip, and today I want to briefly cover a few different topics including a critical ministry update in Iran and a strategic opportunity in China later this year.

Why the Prison Pulpit?

The goal is to remind people to pray for persecuted believers as Hebrews 13:3 teaches: “Remember those who are in prison, as bound with them.” We’ve looked at Wang Yi and Early Rain Church’s writings in the aftermath of their arrest and attack in 2018, but I’ve also regularly turned to other persecuted ministers who have gone before, such as Richard Wurmbrand, to give us a voice literally from prison.

Think Christianly About History: Part 2 [The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation]

FLF, LLC — Wed, 06 May 2026 19:10:00 +0000

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen continue their discussion on thinking Christianly about history. They explore how Christians should approach historical facts, disputed narratives, propaganda, and conspiratorial thinking without abandoning confidence in truth or God’s providence.

Rather than interpreting history through secular neutrality, secret knowledge, or hidden powers, Christians are called to discern historical claims through Scripture, take facts seriously, reject scapegoating, and remember that Christ—not elites, cabals, or conspiracies—is sovereign over all things.

The Apostles Committed Treason? (Acts 17 Explained) [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Wed, 06 May 2026 11:30:00 +0000

In Acts 17, the early Christians were accused of “turning the world upside down.” Why? Because they preached a message Rome could not tolerate: there is another King—Jesus. This wasn’t private spirituality. It was a public declaration that challenged the authority of Caesar himself. That’s why mobs formed. That’s why rulers panicked. That’s why the charge was treason.

In this episode, Mike D’Virgilio breaks down what Acts 17 really means—and why the same message still disrupts the world today. The gospel doesn’t just change hearts. It confronts kingdoms.

Ep. 288 - Work to Make Things Simple [Business 300]

Philip Kulishov — Wed, 06 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000

There's a temptation in business to equate complexity with sophistication. The more layers a system has, the more thorough it must be. The more steps in the process, the more professional it looks. The bigger the spreadsheet, the more serious the operation. But complexity isn't a sign of maturity. More often, it's a sign that nobody did the harder work of making things simple.

We Say "No Kings"… But We Still Want One [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Tue, 05 May 2026 11:46:00 +0000

Trump meets King Charles and the internet jokes about “two kings”—but the moment exposes something deeper: we haven’t outgrown authority, we’ve just forgotten what it’s for.

In this episode of The World View, we connect three major stories shaping the moment:

– What monarchy was actually meant to be—and what modern leadership has lost

– A viral congressional exchange that forces the life debate out of abstraction and into reality

– Vivek Ramaswamy’s comments on Jesus—and the line that still divides the world.

This isn’t just politics. It’s about authority, truth, and the question underneath everything:

Who is Jesus?

Because the divide isn’t left vs right, or nation vs nation.

It’s Christ.

The End Abortion Battle Came to SCOTUS Monday [God, Law, and Liberty]

David Fowler — Tue, 05 May 2026 03:35:00 +0000

Today’s publication is in lieu of one on Friday because of the importance of federal court decisions over the last four days. I address the importance of understanding recent decisions by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and SCOTUS regarding the FDA's rule allowing mifepristone (RU-486) to be dispensed by mail.

Exposing the Globalist Plan for a World AI Brain [The Sentinel Report]

Alex Newman — Mon, 04 May 2026 22:15:00 +0000

Globalist elites are accelerating plans for what can only be described as a digital AI “world brain”—a system designed to monitor, track, and ultimately control every person on Earth. While it may sound like dystopian science fiction, this agenda is unfolding in real time.

On this powerful episode of The Sentinel Report, Swedish researcher and author Jacob Nordangård joins Alex Newman to expose the architects behind The Digital World Brain and reveal how freedom-loving people can resist this unprecedented threat to humanity.

Also on the program, Red Balloon CEO Andrew Crapuchettes breaks down how artificial intelligence can be harnessed for good rather than weaponized against workers, offering practical insights into the future of jobs and economic liberty.

Turning to America’s moral and spiritual crisis, teenage Christian commentator Hannah Faulkner joins Newman to address the nation’s reproductive collapse, the assault on biblical values, and why Christian men must rise to their God-given responsibilities.

Finally, Pastor Paul Blair, founder of Liberty Pastors, explains how pastors can be equipped to defend liberty, uphold the Constitution, and confront the escalating threats facing America from the pulpit outward.

Medical Tyranny and the War on Free Speech (ft. Dr. Eggleston & Todd Richardson) [CrossPolitic Show]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 04 May 2026 14:34:00 +0000

On this episode of CrossPolitic, Gabe welcomes Dr. Richard Eggleston and attorney Todd Richardson from Clarkston, Washington into the studio to talk about the ongoing legal battle over a doctor's First Amendment right to speak freely on COVID-19. They discuss why the Washington Medical Commission's attempt to silence a retired physician for writing opinion columns in a local newspaper has now landed at the doorstep of the United States Supreme Court with NBA Hall of Famer John Stockton as a co-plaintiff and the fundamental right of every American to hear the truth from their doctor hanging in the balance.

666 Was a Code? (Nero Revealed) [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:07:00 +0000

What if 666 wasn’t a mystery about the future—but a message about the past?

In Episode 4 of this Revelation series, Jay Rogers breaks down one of the most famous numbers in the Bible and reveals its original meaning in the first-century Roman world.

This episode explores how 666 functioned as a coded warning to early Christians living under the rule of Emperor Nero.

In this episode:
Why Revelation calls 666 “the number of a man”
How gematria reveals the name Neron Kaiser = 666
Why some ancient manuscripts say 616 instead of 666
The widespread Roman fear of a ruler from Judea
Nero’s persecution of Christians after the Great Fire
How coded language protected believers under tyranny

Far from a distant prophecy, 666 may have been a direct identification of the emperor persecuting the early church. This episode reframes one of the Bible’s most misunderstood symbols—and brings it back into its original historical context.

The Real Reason Churches Avoid Discipline [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 04 May 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Church discipline is one of the most neglected—and misunderstood—teachings in modern Christianity. But what if avoiding it is actually harming the church?

In this episode of Take Heart, Cory Wing walks through the biblical case for church discipline and why it has always been considered essential to a healthy church. Drawing from Scripture and the Reformers, this teaching revisits the three historic marks of a true church—and the one many churches quietly ignore. You’ll see how church discipline is not about control or punishment, but about love, restoration, and faithfulness to Christ.

This episode covers:

• What church discipline actually is (and isn’t)

• Why so many churches avoid it today

• The three marks of a true church

• How discipline protects both the sinner and the church

Key passages: Matthew 16 & 18 Acts 5 (Ananias and Sapphira) 1 Corinthians 5 Revelation 2–3

If you’ve struggled with this topic—or seen it misused—this episode brings clarity rooted in Scripture and hope grounded in the gospel.

TCND: [The Comedian Next Door]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 04 May 2026 11:00:00 +0000

Hi, Neighbor! We should record a new intro but we probably won't. Also, let us explain why the value of fortune cookies is depreciating... And a few suggestions for better fortunes.

THEN: The Peaches wrote a script for her drama club, and the performance was this week. Don't worry, we did NOT violate any copywrite laws.

AND: John's beard is bringing in some compliments! DO YOU KNOW WHAT DISTINGUISHED MEANS?! (Luke has been a little aggressive since he shaved his head.)

LATER: John sent us a good article about the Pitfalls of Homeschooling, which we can't share with any of our homeschooling friends...

Ep. 287 - You're the Ceiling to Your Business [Business 300]

Philip Kulishov — Mon, 04 May 2026 08:00:00 +0000

A business grows in proportion to the capacity of the person running it. Your business will not outgrow you. It can't. You're the constraint it organizes itself around. If the business has stalled, the first place to look isn't the market or the team. It's your own development.

What a Friend We Have in AIJesus?! [The Pugcast]

FLF, LLC — Mon, 04 May 2026 07:41:00 +0000

The pugs engage the recent trends of AI companions, from AI friendships to AI Therapists and Soul-Care. Most disturbing are the developments of Grieftech and Religioustech. On the one side, we have virtual reanimations of loved ones who have died but are now continuing with us as AI versions of themselves; on the other side, we have AI Jesus, who we can enter into a online relationship with and receive spiritual guidance and care. The pugs have a lot to ‘bark’ about in this episode.

Remembering My Chinese Arrest and Interrogation (8 Years Ago This Week) [China Compass]

FLF, LLC — Sat, 02 May 2026 23:35:00 +0000

Today’s podcast once again takes me down memory lane, as I share memories from my arrest and interrogation in China 8 years ago this week (recorded last year on the 7th anniversary).

The Gospel Didn’t Start at the Cross? [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Sat, 02 May 2026 11:47:00 +0000

Is the first picture of the Gospel found before the Fall?

In this second episode of Shadows to Substance, George Sayour explores the stunning biblical theme of Christ as Bridegroom and the Church as His Bride—tracing it all the way back to Genesis 2.

While Genesis 3:15 gives the first announcement of the Gospel, this episode argues that Genesis 2 gives us its first picture:

Eve formed from Adam’s side. Through Paul’s teaching in Ephesians 5, this “mystery” is revealed to point beyond marriage itself—to Christ and His Church.

From Adam’s deep sleep to Christ’s death, from the opened side to the flow of blood and water, Scripture presents a unified story: the Bride is formed from the Bridegroom through sacrifice.

This episode connects Genesis, the Gospels, and Revelation into one profound reality—God has always been forming a people for His Son.

Rome Burned Jerusalem (A.D. 70 Explained) [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Sat, 02 May 2026 11:45:00 +0000

In A.D. 70, the Roman army surrounded Jerusalem, breached its walls, and destroyed the temple—bringing an end to the old covenant world. In this episode, Matt Plett walks through Matthew 24:15–28 and shows how Jesus’ warnings align directly with the events leading up to that destruction. From the “abomination of desolation” to the call to flee Judea, this passage comes into focus when read alongside the Roman siege of Jerusalem and the testimony of history. This isn’t just theology—it’s history unfolding exactly as Jesus said it would.

What May Be the Most Overlooked Consideration in Christian Politics [God, Law, and Liberty]

David Fowler — Fri, 01 May 2026 09:30:00 +0000

Today, David uses his own misguided reason for seeking public office and Puritan theologian John Owen to explain what he believes is the most important consideration when it comes to Christian political engagement and serving in public office and yet often gets lost. He will close by applying it to the political firestorm raised in several states by the end-abortion-now movement.

Children’s Church Is HURTING Families [Eschatology Matters]

FLF, LLC — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:10:00 +0000

Is children’s church biblical—or is it a modern invention that’s reshaped the church in ways Scripture never intended?

In this episode of The Magistrate, we examine the rise of age-segregated ministry and ask whether it aligns with the biblical pattern of worship.

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture consistently presents families worshiping together—fathers, mothers, and children gathered under the Word.

Yet today, many churches separate children into age-based programs shaped more by modern pragmatism and public education models than by Scripture.

We explore the historical roots of children’s church, its connection to youth ministry movements, and the unintended consequences it may be producing—fragmented families, shallow discipleship, and a generation that often leaves the church after graduation.

Then we make the case for a return to family-integrated worship and offer practical guidance for parents seeking to disciple their children in the life of the local church.
