CrossPolitic Show

Some parts of America might be even more pagan than Christians think, and New York City is a great example of this. Today, the guys on CrossPolitic talk about the recent political victory of Zohran Mamdani in New York City. Mamdani is a socialist Muslim who is the Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City this year. He wants to start government-run grocery stores, make bus rides fast and free, and raise the minimum wage to $30. Yikes. How did our country get here? In 2001, everyone would have been opposed to this. But now in 2025? We have forgotten the fire and smoke of the Twin Towers, our politicians want socialism, and our nation is flooded with idolatry. As Christians, what do we do next? Also, if you want your kids to thrive in this crazy world as godly men and women, you need to give them a solid, biblical education. This isn’t easy, but you’re not alone. We’ve decided to have our next conference on education so that you can prepare your kids to raise godly families, topple culture giants, and laugh at the darkness.

When Pastor Travis Johnson prayed for children's protection at a Mobile city council meeting, major activist groups demanded he apologize - but his viral response "I am not sorry, we will not bow, we will stand" sparked unexpected results: his church saw record baptisms, local pastors united, and the city actually fired its LGBTQ liaisons, making Mobile the first U.S. city to lower its "equality index," proving that sometimes standing firm on your convictions leads to victories you never saw coming.

Trump once celebrated Pride Month—and most Christians forgot. In this episode, we revisit a moment from Trump’s first presidency that many conservatives would rather ignore: his open endorsement of LGBT Pride Month. While evangelicals lined up behind him, the seeds of compromise were already planted. What does that moment reveal about the myth of neutrality? And what does it mean for Christians now, as the culture war escalates? Toby, Gabe, Darren Doane, Doug Wilson, and Michael Dougherty break down why the public square was never neutral, why Trump’s past matters more than we think, and what kind of courage it will take for Christians to stop outsourcing conviction to politicians.

In this episode, Gabe and Pastor Toby break down the explosive exchange between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz over Israel. As war rages and headlines invoke biblical language, we ask: Is modern Israel still under God’s covenant? We don’t just challenge Cruz—we challenge the way modern Christian culture misunderstands biblical covenants altogether.
