What is meant by "social justice" today, and why do so many sincerely justice-loving Christians warn against it? Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance joins us to discuss social justice vs. biblical justice. We explore the complexities of justice, economic ethics, the flaws of socialism and capitalism, and the role of Christianity in addressing these global challenges. Dr. Beisner offers insights from his book Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice, where he refutes claims that the Bible advocates for wealth redistribution and builds a biblical framework for true justice. The discussion highlights the four criteria of biblical justice—impartiality, proportionality, rendering what is due, and conformity to God's law—while examining why some "rights" claimed in the name of social justice violate true, biblically defined rights. Don't miss this episode as this topic continues to be highly relevant and believers must have a solid biblical perspective in order to think rightly, form culture, and respond to the needs of our society.

The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must be Pro Abundant Life | Roland Warren 55:03

منذ 5 hours55:03

55:03

Addressing abortion starts with discipleship, not legislation. In this powerful conversation, Roland Warren, President of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion , challenges Christians to move beyond politics and embrace a “pro-abundant life” perspective rooted in John 10:10. Drawing from his own story of an unplanned college pregnancy turned 43-year marriage, Roland reframes abortion as a discipleship issue—calling the Church to support not just life, but lives transformed by the Gospel. He shares practical ways churches can respond with compassion, healing, and hope to those facing pregnancy decisions. Main Topics: From Pro-Life to Pro-Abundant Life – Why saving babies isn’t enough without also making disciples Shocking Church Statistics – 54% of abortion seekers identify as Christians Ministry, Not Politics – How small groups and churches can become safe, healing places Mary, Joseph & Making Life Disciples – Biblical models for gospel-centered care If abortion is happening in our churches, what kind of gospel are we really preaching? - Make a matching gift donation by June 10! - View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page ! - Free Grand Design Video Course from DNA: Male and Female in the Image of God…

Kids Who Own Their Faith for Life | Dr. Josh Mulvihill 1:01:58

منذ 7 أيام1:01:58

1:01:58

More than 60% of children who grow up in church will walk away from it in their young adult years, according to Barna. Why is this happening—and what can be done to reverse the trend? Dr. Josh Mulvihill, Executive Director of Church and Family Ministry at RenewaNation, joins us to unpack the root of the crisis: a breakdown in biblical discipleship. He shares a compelling vision for how families, churches, and schools can work together to raise children with resilient, gospel-centered worldviews—and why it starts with parents and grandparents reclaiming their God-given role’s as the primary disciplers. Main Topics: The Discipleship Disconnect – Why many Christian parents now believe it’s the church’s job to disciple their kids The Three-Stranded Cord – How family, church, and education can align to build a strong biblical foundation The Power of Grandparents – Why grandparents are overlooking their vital biblical role in passing down faith to future generations Raising gospel-centered families isn’t about perfection—it’s about faithfulness, and the courage to make your home the frontlines of spiritual formation.

Bigger Than Our Boxes: How Biblical Worldview Transcends Theological Camps 55:55

منذ 14 يومًا55:55

55:55

In today's fragmented Christian landscape, tribal loyalties sometimes overshadow biblical truth. At Disciple Nations Alliance, we're frequently asked where we fit theologically. The answer? We don't wear a denominational jersey—and that's by design. In this episode, we unpack why choosing Scripture over systems isn't theological compromise but an emphasis on the heart of God's mission. Rather than aligning with a single tradition, we stand on clear, foundational truths: Jesus is King, His kingdom is advancing, and His method is disciple-making through the Church—holistically and incarnationally—grounded in a biblical worldview. These truths transcend denominational lines and unify believers from Pentecostals in Latin America to Anglicans in Africa. This conversation is a call to elevate Scripture above interpretive frameworks, to approach theology with humility and charity, and to focus on telling the full biblical story.

Lack of Disciple-Making = Lack of Cultural Impact | Dr. George Barna 1:00:52

منذ 21 يومًا1:00:52

1:00:52

Are we experiencing a spiritual revival—or facing a full-blown discipleship crisis in the American church? In this powerful conversation, renowned researcher Dr. George Barna shares alarming new data and challenges us to rethink how we measure spiritual health and make disciples in a post-Christian culture. Main Topics The Decline of Belief in the God of the Bible The fastest-growing spiritual segment in America is now the “don’ts”—those who don’t know, don’t believe, or don’t care if God exists. Barna reveals a 30-year decline in belief in the God of the Bible. Why Discipleship Metrics Are Failing Most churches track attendance, programs, and budgets—but not spiritual transformation. Barna outlines six biblical criteria for true discipleship based on Jesus’ teachings. Only 1 in 10 born-again Christians actively disciples others. The Crucial Role of Children’s Ministry and Worldview Formation A child's worldview is largely formed by age 13, starting as early as 15–18 months. Only 12% of children’s pastors have a biblical worldview themselves. Barna’s "Seven Cornerstones" research shows that rejecting even one foundational belief drops the likelihood of a biblical worldview from 83% to just 2%. What if the greatest threat to the church today isn’t cultural hostility—but our failure to make true disciples?

Antisemitism & Should Christians Support Israel? | Dr. Jeff Myers 58:29

منذ 28 يومًا58:29

58:29

Amid a surge in antisemitism and confusion about Israel’s role in the world, Dr. Jeff Myers of Summit Ministries joins us to share insights from his recent trip to Israel and his new book Should Christians Support Israel? We explore the troubling rise of anti-Israel sentiment among young Americans, theological misconceptions within the Church, and how a biblical worldview can guide Christians to respond with both truth and compassion. Main Topics The Rise of Antisemitism – Why anti-Jewish hatred is surging in the U.S., especially among younger generations. Theological Confusion About Israel – Common Christian misconceptions about God’s covenant with the Jewish people and salvation. Geopolitics vs. Theopolitics – Understanding the spiritual dimensions behind the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and why peace efforts often fail.

Making Theology Practical: Arturo Cuba’s Challenge | DNA Forum 2025 Special 46:42

منذ 5 weeks46:42

46:42

What if the key to transforming communities isn’t money, resources, or even a buttoned-up theology—but something far more foundational? In this special episode, we’re giving you a taste of the kind of teaching you’ll experience at the upcoming DNA Forum this August in Panama City, Panama. Join us as we revisit a compelling keynote from our last Forum, delivered by one of DNA’s most influential trainers, Arturo Cuba. Drawing from over two decades of grassroots discipleship in rural Latin America, Cuba challenges conventional evangelical thinking with bold clarity: “People do not live out of theologies. People live out of the things that make sense in their lives.” His message unpacks how biblical principles—taught as life-shaping truths rather than abstract theology—have the power to bring deep, lasting change.

Let’s Talk AI from a Biblical Worldview Perspective | Brian Johnson 1:27:50

منذ 5 weeks1:27:50

1:27:50

AI offers incredible potential, from accelerating Bible translation to combating human trafficking and much more – but what else is at stake? Is AI dehumanizing you? If we're not careful, the mind-blowing capabilities of artificial intelligence will lure us into surrendering our discernment, knowledge, and intellect to this new pseudo-intelligence. Beyond information, people are turning to AI for companionship, while some want AI and technology to extend lifespan in a search for immortality. Today, we're joined by a fascinating guest: Brian Johnson, who brings over 30 years of leadership in emerging technology and cybersecurity to the table. He offers uniquely Christian perspectives on AI’s rapid rise and profound impact on humanity. Johnson helps us understand the last 50 years of technological development and explains the recent seismic shift from an "attention economy" to a "relational economy," where AI no longer just captures your focus—it mimics human relationships and connection. This raises deep questions about human identity and humanity’s age-old temptation to "become like God" through our own creations. Despite these dangers, this conversation is filled with hope. Brian shares how Christians can and should engage AI wisely—using it for Kingdom purposes. If you're ready to think deeply about faith, technology, and what it means to be human in an AI-driven world, this episode will equip and encourage you to stay grounded in God's unchanging truth.

What Were You Saved to Do? | Easter Special 1:06:07

منذ 7 weeks1:06:07

1:06:07

The resurrection of Jesus isn't just a promise of life after death—it's the power to live as we were created to in the Garden. In this Easter conversation, we explore how Christ's victory over the grave restores not only our relationship with God, but also makes possible our original calling to steward creation, pursue justice, and do good in the world. Too often, Christians see salvation as an escape from judgment rather than an invitation to meaningful participation in God's redemptive work. Let's remember that the Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us and can help us live out God's design in every part of our lives, vocations, relationships, and communities. Main Topics: The resurrection as restoration of our original purpose How the Holy Spirit empowers us to live out God's design Why this world—and what we do in it—deeply matters to God Join us as we draw from Scripture and real-world examples to unpack what it means that Christ is reconciling all things to Himself and how your everyday actions can reflect the coming Kingdom. From conflict resolution to creativity, your life now carries eternal significance. View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page !…

Dr. Bob Osburn talks with us about why postmodern ideologies are collapsing—and how Christianity offers a compelling return to reality.

Cultural and political debates around DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and climate change dominate headlines—but what deeper ideas are fueling these movements? Why did these ideas gain such traction, and how should Christians respond? Instead of impulsively reacting to the latest controversies, we explore how to replace false ideas with biblical truth, offering a transformative alternative for meaningful change. Darrell Harrison is the lead host of the well-known Just Thinking podcast and a fellow at the Black Theology and Leadership Institute at Princeton Theological Seminary. He helps us move beyond surface-level arguments and uncover the worldviews shaping these narratives.

AI is here—it’s reshaping how we see ourselves and our place in the world. In this episode, we use a biblical lens to wrestle with big questions raised by AI. What worldviews are shaping its development? How might it impact our relationship with God, others, ourselves, and even creation? AI brings both promise and concern—offering breakthroughs in almost every industry while also challenging creativity, work, and human connection.

From the rise of AI to movements like Black Lives Matter, and whatever the next big issue will be, Christians face a world filled with compelling but deceptive narratives and trends. We believe this is a major weakness in the Church today—but it doesn't have to be. Christians must develop a comprehensive biblical worldview to navigate the pressing issues of our time with wisdom and conviction. In this episode, we explore: Why we must look beyond surface-level branding to uncover deeper worldview assumptions The importance of examining a movement’s fruit and the beliefs of its founders The reality that good and evil run through every human heart—not between groups How modern ideologies often strip people of personal agency and responsibility The need for Christians to ask deeper questions about cultural norms and practices How cultural definitions of words often differ from biblical meanings Why critical thinking requires evaluating the worldview behind policies and movements The truth that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it speaks to every area of life and culture Want to learn more?

God Loves Nations: Immigration Through a Biblical Lens 1:26:41

منذ 14 weeks1:26:41

1:26:41

As we see from Genesis to Revelation, God deeply loves the nations, and His overarching plan throughout history involves them. But how does that shape our understanding of immigration today? Join us as we explore the intricate relationship between nations and immigration, tackling the mass migration trends shaping our present moment and the foundations behind God’s heart to bless the nations. We examine God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12 as a springboard for the discussion, “and all nations on earth will be blessed through you,” pointing out the parallels to the Great Commission entrusted to each of us in the New Testament. Looking at the historical contrast between nations and empires, we ask: Should Christians support deportation? How do we balance love for immigrants with the responsibility to maintain order? In a culture that often conflates compassion with open borders, we explore what it means to uphold both biblical justice and mercy. Through Scripture, history, personal anecdotes, and practical insights, we encourage listeners to thoughtfully engage with immigration in a way that blesses their nation and honors God’s design. Main Topics: God’s Heart for the Nations – How Scripture frames our understanding of national identity and immigration. Babel, Globalization, and Borders – What the Bible teaches about the integrity of nations. Justice, Mercy, and Order – A balanced and nuanced Christian approach to immigration policy.

Could the pro-life movement be missing the mark in its fight against abortion? Join us as Bradley Pierce, a constitutional attorney and president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, challenges conventional thinking with his abolitionist perspective. With deep conviction and significant legal experience—including his role in the landmark Dobbs v. Jackson case that overturned Roe v. Wade —Bradley shares his mission for the total abolition of abortion in the United States. He questions the effectiveness of traditional pro-life strategies and advocates for legal reforms that more closely align with biblical principles. We examine the state of abortion law in America post- Dobbs , where rising access to abortion pills online complicates enforcement efforts. This episode also tackles the controversial issue of equal protection in abortion laws, a divisive topic even within the pro-life movement.

The Most Important Word You’ve Never Heard Of 1:04:26

There is nothing in this life that can cause a Christian to lose hope. Why? Because we follow the Author of history—His-story—the God of eucatastrophe. Eucatastrophe, a term coined by renowned author J.R.R. Tolkien, describes the powerful theme throughout Scripture where stories of seeming catastrophe suddenly take a dramatic turn for good at the last possible moment. In this episode, Scott, Dwight, and Luke explore how understanding eucatastrophe can transform a Christian's perspective on hope, faith, tribulation, and suffering. Join them as they unpack this profound concept through Scripture, literature, and its relevance in today’s challenges, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, God is the author of the redemptive story.

Christian, Stop Avoiding Politics with Richard Nelson 1:08:00

منذ 19 weeks1:08:00

1:08:00

Should Christians engage in politics? Of course, but how? In this episode, Richard Nelson, author of Christianity and Politics and President of The Commonwealth Policy Center, tackles this critical question. Historically and still today, Christians often fall into one of three inappropriate approaches to political engagement: they avoid politics as irrelevant to “more important” spiritual matters; strive for neutrality by avoiding alignment with any party or candidate; or they focus solely on allegiance to Jesus as King, seeking to ignore earthly government and rulers. Richard eloquently challenges these views, emphasizing how God's sovereignty extends to politics and culture. He highlights a biblical approach to issues like free speech, the sanctity of life, religious freedom, and fiscal responsibility. Like it or not, the Bible is deeply political, and its principles should guide all public engagement.

Discipling the next generation shapes the world of tomorrow and has never been more important, but finding the right curriculum can be a big challenge. Dr. Terry Andrews, a missionary with over 30 years experience in Africa, shares the profound impact she has seen with her God with Us discipleship curriculum. This innovative program has rapidly spread across Africa and beyond. Because it draws deeply on biblical truths from Genesis, it finds an audience among both Christian and Muslim youth, leading them to better understand and apply Christian principles. Engaging methods like storytelling and small group discussions captivate children’s attention and have been effective in schools, churches, and with sports teams. In addition, families and communities are healing and churches are flourishing. View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page !…

Don’t Stand for Social Justice with Dr. Calvin Beisner 1:03:18

What is meant by "social justice" today, and why do so many sincerely justice-loving Christians warn against it? Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance joins us to discuss social justice vs. biblical justice. We explore the complexities of justice, economic ethics, the flaws of socialism and capitalism, and the role of Christianity in addressing these global challenges. Dr. Beisner offers insights from his book Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice , where he refutes claims that the Bible advocates for wealth redistribution and builds a biblical framework for true justice. The discussion highlights the four criteria of biblical justice—impartiality, proportionality, rendering what is due, and conformity to God's law—while examining why some "rights" claimed in the name of social justice violate true, biblically defined rights. Don't miss this episode as this topic continues to be highly relevant and believers must have a solid biblical perspective in order to think rightly, form culture, and respond to the needs of our society.

(2) A strong affection, often accompanied by romantic feelings and sexual attraction. Several other facets of the true meaning of love have been removed from our culture’s thinking. These include: (3) To value, cherish, or treasure. (4) Fidelity and devotion. Faithful commitment. (5) To seek the good of another, to give for his or her benefit, even at a significant personal cost.…

Thanksgiving Bonus Episode 1:01:19

Thankfulness is a focus in many American homes in the month of November. But have you ever considered that thankfulness is not a universally valued characteristic? Not to mention that the amount of gratitude we see on a daily basis actually seems to be decreasing today. How does one’s sense of privilege or status result in a lack of gratitude toward others? How does belief in the significance of each person’s life cultivate gratitude within a person? Does belief in the goodness and sovereignty of God inspire thankfulness in the midst of trying times? Our office team gathered together to reflect on these questions and share our favorite biblical passages about the priority and results of thankfulness in the Christian life. We discussed why the biblical worldview places such an emphasis on gratitude, and contrasted this with different worldviews. In conclusion, we considered how essential thankfulness is for building thriving, flourishing cultures in families, communities, and nations. Join us for this thoughtful and encouraging discussion!

How can beauty heal our broken world? In this episode, part nine of our 10 Words series, we explore the biblical foundations of beauty and its transformative power to change lives and nations. We challenge the notion that beauty is merely subjective, revealing how the Bible establishes a universal standard for beauty, truth, and goodness. Our conversation contrasts biblical and contemporary views of beauty, emphasizing its role in understanding God and creation. Through art, nature, and personal reflections, we show how beauty connects us to the divine and reshapes culture. Cultures that recognize God as the source of beauty thrive, and the converse holds true as well. Beauty is a gift for all—essential to our spiritual journey and daily lives, not just for artists or grand cathedrals.

As the maxim goes, if you want to change culture, you begin by changing language. The enemies of the gospel know this all too well. They’ve been cunningly at work redefining our most fundamental words, embedding them in our institutions and school curriculum, all to transform society to reflect their harmful, anti-Christian beliefs. In this episode and in this book, you will learn how to practically respond by clearly knowing and defending the true biblical definitions of at least ten critical words: truth, human, sex, marriage, freedom, justice, authority, faith, beauty, and love. If we long to see a revival in the church and a reformation of culture, we must recover the true definition of these ten foundational words. 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World: Restoring the Meaning of Our Most Important Words by Scott Allen is available through Amazon and Kindle! An audiobook, companion videos, and a ten-week Bible study course will be available in the coming weeks. For all things 10 Words to Heal Our Broken World go to: 10wordsbook.org .
