This week, Chris and Rich discuss a hit-piece article published by Baptist News Global against Texas pastor Tom Buck. Christians must be aware that even just "reporting the facts" can be manipulated to lead readers to predetermined conclusions. It is the Christian's duty to ask questions about what is being said and what is being excluded.

This week, Chris and Rich look at recent examples of unbiblical attitudes and practices (as evidenced by persons such as Ed Stetzer, Beth Moore, Russell Moore, David French, and others) which demonstrate the "BigEva" machine is not an institution ordained by God.

Let's take a trip back to 2016 when Chris and Rich interviewed Pastor Nate Pickowiz about his book, "Reviving New England." Pastor Nate reveals to the church that the key to reviving the land of which once birthed revival in America, and even in the nation itself, lies in the faithful preaching and exposition of Scripture. In a time of spiritual deadness, life comes only by the Word of God.
Looking back at last year when Chris and Rich discussed the incarnation of Christ, His sinless life, His sacrificial death, and the all-important topic of the resurrection. Christmas is meaningless without the resurrection, as there would be no forgiveness for sins.
