Walker, professor of ethics and public theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Gentle Parenting: Biblical Wisdom or Cultural Trap? || 6/21/2025 || #210

Join Monique for an in-depth and thought-provoking interview with Erin Kunkle from MAVEN to explore a Christian perspective on gentle parenting. In this long-form conversation, they dive into the popular yet controversial parenting philosophy, examining its core pillars—empathy, respect, understanding, and boundaries—and how they align (or don’t) with biblical principles. Erin, a mother of five and co-host of the MAVEN Parent Podcast, shares her insights on the rise of gentle parenting, its appeal to millennial parents, and the potential dangers of its therapeutic approach when disconnected from a Christian worldview. From discussing the cultural pressures of social media to unpacking key scriptures on parenting, this episode challenges listeners to consider how God’s design for family, authority, and discipline contrasts with modern parenting trends. Key Questions: 👉 How does gentle parenting handle sin and the human condition? 👉 Can empathy and respect coexist with firm, loving discipline? 👉 What does it mean to raise children who fear the Lord in a world that rejects authority?

How Progressives Are Hijacking Christian Words | 1/25/2025 | #196

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 faith's most fundamental words, such as love, marriage and justice, and then embedding them in our institutions and school curriculum. Their goal is to transform society to reflect their harmful, anti-Christian beliefs. As followers of Jesus Christ, how should we respond? We talk to our friend, Scott Allen (from Disciple Nations Alliance) about how to recover the true definition of these foundational words.

What is the Woke Right? | 6/15/24 | #181

Last month, we did a show about the "woke right." And then our friend, Alisa Childers, re-released it on her podcast platform. Since then, we've received a lot of feedback about the show and continued to research the issues. Some people say the "woke right" isn't a thing. Others say, it's "absolutely a thing." It's a lot to process. We don't claim to have all the answers, but we are trying to have the public conversations to help the "regular people" make sense of what's emerging among Christian socio-political influencers. We have asked our friend, Neil Shenvi, to come on and help us continue the discussion. Link to Neil's article: https://shenviapologetics.com/what-is-the-woke-right/

The Struggles of Trauma, Mental Illness & the Christian Life | 6/1/2024 | #180

There is so much confusion among Christians about the issue of counseling and mental illness. Some think that it undermines the authority of Scripture to even see a therapist. Others seem to lack discernment about how to prevent therapy becoming a gateway to unbiblical life choices. We've asked our friend, Dr. David King, professor in social work at Indiana Wesleyan University, to come on the show and share his perspectives about the intersection of therapy and the Christian worldview.

The Truth About Birth Control and Chemical Abortion | 5/25/24 | #179

A key theme on the podcast this year is justice for the pre-born. We are exploring the issue from a variety of different angles. The overturning of Roe hasn't automatically increased safety for the pre-born. Chemical abortions are on the rise. We've asked our friend, OB-GYN Dr. Chris Cirucci to come back on the show and explain the dangers of chemical abortion, as well as the science behind birth control. How do various birth control methods actually work and which ones are compatible with the Christian worldview? Join us for this live discussion.

The Shell Game of Identifying the Oppressed and Marginalized | 5/18/24 | #178

Whenever we hear pastors talk about the "marginalized" or the "oppressed," we usually cringe a little inside. A deeply biblical idea has been co-opted by the culture and morphed to mean something completely different. We want to have a public conversation about this confusion and see if we help straighten out what has become a very crooked line by bringing the issues back to God's standards.

The Rise of the Woke Right | 5/11/24 | #177

We have been watching the rise of some very....odd....posts on Twitter that sound an awful lot like BLM sounded a few years ago. Only they are on the right. We have been very confused about what to make of these posts. Kevin is coming back on the show to break it all down for us in a way that we (and you!) can understand.

Crash Course on Israel and the Middle East | 4/20/24 | #176

What is happening in the Middle East right now? What are the implications of Israel's recent retaliation against Iran? We asked our friend, Kevin Briggins, to come on and help us understand the situation. His background in Middle East Studies helped us differentiate between facts and fear. In the second segment, Monique and Krista discussed recent changes to Title IX.

The Path to Globalism | 3/23/24 | #173

The annual meeting for the World Economic Forum was a few weeks ago. We want to catch you up about what the WEF is and what they are trying to accomplish. If you’ve heard the terms “the great reset,” or the “fourth Industrial Revolution” but don’t really know what that means be sure to tune in. It’s a globalist movement that is reshaping our everyday lives and redefining what constitutes as the public good.
