This week we are covering another chapter from the book “Duty to Defend,” and a chapter on gun free zones which is based on an interview with Rev. Ralph A. Abernethy III. We are going back to the grooveyard of forgotten favorites, with the original audio from that interview, originally released in 2016 in episode 43. Lloyd and Rev. Abernethy discuss what should the Christian gun-owner's attitude be toward gun free zones.

This week Lloyd waffles on for a bit about the dangers of AI and how to use it safely. Like the gun, he argues, AI is a tool that can be used for good or for ill, but its constant improvement–combined with ill intent–poses a grave threat to the truth.

This week we are looking at another article from the book “Duty to Defend”, this one by the Rev. Jason Reed. When Jesus speaks of the “strong man, fully armed” guarding his possessions, is he speaking in support of using weapons to protect yourself and your home? Or does He have something much bigger in mind?

This week we are looking at another article written by the late Rev. Richard Bolland from the book “Duty to Defend”. When Jesus told his disciple in the Garden of Gethsemane to put his sword back in it's place, was he warning all Christians to disarm?

Some anti-gun Christians have argued that since we confess that our help comes from the Lord (Psalm 121:2) then we don't need guns to help protect us. To be consistent, one would have to make the same argument about any number of earthly tools that we rely on. Rev. Tyrel Bramwell breaks down the faulty logic in this claim in another from our series on the book “Duty to Defend.”

n this week's episode, we continue our walk through the chapters of the book “Duty to Defend” with a review of Luke 22:38. When the disciples present two swords to Jesus, He replies “it is enough.” Does that mean there is some heavenly restriction on the number of firearms we may own? Is that a minimum? Lloyd digs into the context.

In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the book “Duty to Defend” with a chapter by Rev. Drew Newman on Matthew 10:28. Gun-control Christians have argued that gun owners only own guns because of fear. And since we should not fear the home invader who can only kill our bodies, we should not own guns to defend our lives. Makes sense, right? Right. Rev. Newman explains the context and why those arguments fail.

This week we are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. George T. McCall. Matthew 7:12 tells us that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Does this mean we should avoid owning a firearm for self-defense? Since we don't want to be shot, should we avoid firearms so that we do not shoot someone else?
