This episode is a call to action for listeners of Truthspresso to help out a ministry suffering from hurricane Helene!

After discussing some of the timeline and effects of hurricanes Helene and Milton, I show how some politicians want to pretend to care about people. Never let a crisis go to waste, it seems.

Don't be like power-hungry politicians! Be Christians!

This episode is part 4 of examining common claims about something Donald Trump said.

As we examine each trope let's ask ourselves "Did Trump really say that?!"

Context is king. There can be more than meets the eye than what media will often have us believe.

In part 4 we dissect two hoaxes:

  1. The "Putin is a Genius" hoax
  2. The WWI soldiers are "losers and suckers" hoax

In this episode of Truthspresso I chat about Jesus and socialism.

A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it.

In part 11 we look at three parables to see if they lean more socialist or free market capitalist:

  1. The hidden treasure in the field
  2. The pearl of great price
  3. The vineyard tenants

Because the parable of the vineyard...

A coworker a while ago made the claim to me that Jesus was a socialist. I have certainly heard this claim before, but I figured I would address it.

In part 10 we look at the parable of the unjust steward. A "Christian socialist" claims that this parable proves that Jesus favors defrauding wealthy people to give to the poor. While this parable and Jesus' application can...

After I dropped off my sons for a church youth activity I recorded most of this episode in my car in the parking lot.

I shared a few thoughts mostly about the march on Monday afternoon before the opening speeches.

Women dressed as abortion pills, pro-Palestine protesters, rainbow flags, and a sign that says "Trump and J.D. Vance are weird" donned the street.

During the first two days of the DNC, a mobile clinic offered free chemical a...

As I was reading stuff online I came across an article from Roman Catholic apologist Dave Armstrong against William Lane Craig's defense of monothelitism.

Armstrong blames Craig's error on Sola Scriptura and rejecting the "infallibility" of the Roman Catholic church.

While I agree that Craig is wrong about monothelitism, I also believe Armstrong is wrong about why.

This episode addresses both the error of monothelitism and the error o...

Romans 2:13 says that "the doers of the law shall be justified."

Romans 3:20 says that "by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified."

Did Paul teach justification by keeping the law?

Did Paul contradict himself?

Chelsea returns to co-host this episode as we summarize Paul's arguments in Romans chapter 1 through 3. We believe Paul was making one harmonizing point with both verses.

In this episode I play some clips from episodes of Truthspresso in early 2020 where I predicted that the pandemic relief measures would lead to price inflation.

Prepare to be amazed! ;)

Do I have the spiritual gift of prophecy?

No. It's just what the Austrian School of economics understood would happen.

A Biblical view of government forbids monetary inflation and such frivolous borrowing and spending as happened under the guise of "hel...

On Saturday, July 13, at a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Trump was giving an outdoor speech. Six minutes into it, gunshots were fired!

The President felt one round whiz by his head. A second one bloodied his right ear. He ducked in the nick of time to avoid a third one that likely wouldn't have missed.

Thankfully, he was Ok. He expressed valiance as his security detail escorted him out.

The world-changing news just won't sto...

Back in November and December of 2020 I released three episodes of my own sci-fi satire story of an alien invasion.

It was meant to teach Biblical lessons against tyrannical monetary policies and cultural Marxism.

Now you can listen to the whole story in one jumbo episode!

Enjoy!

Does the account of the rich, young ruler in the gospels show that Jesus taught that we could obtain eternal life by keeping the commandments of the law to the best of our ability?

It can seem that way--unless we really pay attention.

Let's not gloss over the lesson Jesus taught not only to this rich, young man, but also to His disciples around Him and to us today.

What are we trusting for God's acceptance? Jesus Christ Himself is the...
