Monique and Krista are joined by Dr. Jacob Daniel and Dr. Joe Miller to discuss CFBU's brand new Los Angeles Statement on Race, Justice, and Unity. They unpack why this statement was written, how it differs from the 2018 Dallas Statement, and why the Church desperately needs biblical clarity on race, ethnicity, justice, and true unity in Christ.

Kevin joined Monique and Krista for an in depth discussion about Israel. We also replayed highlights from a recent interview Kevin did with Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit Ministries and author of Should Christians Support Israel?

Monique and Krista unpack "Childism," the emerging critical theory framework that views children as an oppressed class and traditional parenting as a form of adultism. They examine its strong influence on popular Gentle Parenting leaders like Sarah Ockwell-Smith and Dr. Becky Kennedy, and how it mirrors Critical Race Theory. Discover how this ideology is quietly shaping education, culture, and parenting—and learn how to respond with a distinctly biblical worldview that honors both the dignity of children and God-given parental responsibility. #Childism #Adultism #BiblicalParenting

Monique and Krista (Theology Mom) sit down with Dr. Corey Miller, President of Ratio Christi, to discuss his new book The Progressive Miseducation of America. They explore how progressive ideology has hijacked education—from universities to K-12 classrooms—shifting the purpose of education away from truth, knowledge, and the good life toward social justice, equity, empathy, and cultural Marxism. Dr. Miller unpacks the dangers of indoctrination over critical thinking, and why so many Christian young people are walking away from the faith. The conversation offers practical wisdom for parents and grandparents to engage culture without compromising biblical truth. #ProgressiveMiseducation #ChristianEducation #RatioChristi #CulturalEngagement ATT#223 Season 8, Episode 2

In this timely conversation, Brady Cone (founder of Calibrate Ministries) joins us to discuss the Side B approach to ministering to those who struggle with same sex attraction. Several major Christian institutions use the Side B approach to disciple college students, including Biola University and CRU. Brady draws from his own journey out of the LGBTQ life to explain what Side B actually teaches, how it differs from both Side A and biblical discipleship, and why labeling ourselves by our attractions undermines the full freedom the gospel provides. We explore the real-world impact of Side B on identity and one’s walk with Christ. If you’re walking this road yourself or walking alongside someone who is, this episode offers biblical clarity, compassion, and the lasting freedom found in Christ alone.

Schools are changing fast—far beyond reading, writing, and arithmetic. Dive into a thought-provoking discussion on the challenges parents face in navigating today’s public school system, including the impact of Social Emotional Learning (SEL), the Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model, and controversial policies like California’s AB495 and Illinois’ mandatory mental health screenings for grades 3-12 starting in the 2027-28 school year. As Christian parents, we’re called to steward our children’s hearts and minds (Deut. 6:6–9; Prov. 1:8; Eph. 6:4).

We sit down with Hillary Ferrer (founder, Mama Bear Apologetics) to explore how honest questions can strengthen, rather than destroy, our faith. In this episode, we unpack the difference between doubt and deconstruction and why definitions matter for a healthy spiritual life. Monique and Hillary look at biblical examples of faithful doubters and learn practical ways to move from uncertainty to deeper trust. If you’re standing in the dark, unsure what you believe, this conversation will remind you that God welcomes your questions and your wrestling heart.

In a culture that’s increasingly vocal (and confusing) about identity, gender, and sexuality, how can Christian parents, grandparents, ministry leaders, and those in close proximity to children guide them with biblical clarity and confidence? In this episode, we’re joined by Elizabeth Urbanowicz, educator, author, and founder of Foundation Worldview, to talk about her upcoming book, Helping Your Kids Know God's Good Design: 40 Questions and Answers on Sexuality and Gender.

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?

New Thought is a very influential idea that shapes the way a lot of people see the world. Even if you've never heard the term "New Thought" you may have heard of Oprah Winfrey, who is one of its biggest advocates. But what you may not know, is how the vocabulary and ideas behind New Thought have penetrated many sectors of the church.

We are so excited to introduce you to our brother and historian, Dr. Glenn Sunshine. You don't want to miss this AMAZING conversation about civilization, our nation, its future, and the biblical blueprint for cultural renewal. Dr. Sunshine outlined 5 distinct features of a civilization in decline: 1. Loose sexual mores and loosening restrictions around marriage and sexual values. 2. A belief that society is not redeemable or able to be fixed. 3. Division of humans into separate categories (ex. oppressed vs. oppressor) 4. Economic deficit, mass government spending. 5. Unchecked immigration from people who are culturally different and unwilling to assimilate. Follow Dr. Sunshine's work at https://www.esquareinch.com/

**EASTER EPISODE!** Former cold case detective, Jim Wallace walks us through the evidence for the New Testament being written by eyewitnesses and how to think about apparent contradictions. (Programming note: This is a rebroadcast from 2020.)

Monique is joined by Kevin Briggins to discuss the recent stabbing at a high school track meet in Texas. Is this the next George Floyd situation where a black kid is getting railroaded because he stabbed a white guy? What does biblical justice have to say about this very tragic situation? Let's talk about it.

We have been getting a number of questions into the ministry asking us to have some discussions related to what's been happening at the border and all of the recent changes. It has taken us a while to find the right dialogue partner on this issue, someone who can bring first-hand experience, but also a Christian worldview. We are excited to have war correspondent, Chuck Holton on the show. He is a former Army Ranger and freelance conflict reporter traveling to the world's "hot zones" for two decades, including the American border. Mr. Holton also lives in Panama and has a LOT of on-the-ground experience with the migration issues at the infamous Darién Gap as well as the Mexican-American border.

Our friend, Eric Muldrow (from Code Red Conversations) is coming on to talk about how to do this and not transfer the traumas of past generations onto the current generation.

Our friend, Katy Faust, came on the show to discuss yet another controversial topic: divorce. We looked at what the research is saying about its long-term impact on children––even adult children. It's a challenging and emotional topic, but we want to talk about it in light of biblical instruction.

Last November, we attended Dr. Owen Strachan's fiery presentation at ETS. So naturally, we immediately introduced ourselves and tried to get him on our podcast. We talked about the manosphere phenomenon and his thoughts for what it means to be a Christian man.

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. Order Scott's book: https://www.amazon.com/Words-Heal-Our-Broken-World/dp/1625862865

SEASON 7 KICK-OFF! We talked to our friend, Natasha Crain, Author and Speaker, about her forthcoming book, When Culture Hates You.

Wow! What a year season 6 has been! (Who remembers our season kickoff with Katie Faust?) Don't miss our season finale. We are doing our annual Ask Us Anything show, along with some Walking in Unity related giveaways. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Recently, our friend Natasha Crain sent us a text message asking us for practical ideas for biblically-based justice ministries, besides opening a food pantry. We quickly bombarded her with an avalanche of ideas. We thought it would be fun to turn this text string into a podcast. Let's put on our sanctified imagination and think about some ways that Christians can speak prophetically and help to push back the darkness and bring in the light of the Gospel.

Alisa Childers hosts the virtual launch party celebrating Monique & Krista's new book, Walking in Unity. https://walkinginunity.com

One of the projects that fund-raised for back on Giving Tuesday 2022 was to produce a short mini-doc about our origins story. It's finally here! And we are so excited to share it with you! If you've ever wondered how we became friends, this is the story.

Monique just got home from her second trip to Africa in 2024. You won't want to miss her field report about the great needs for sound teaching and apologetics in Africa. Monique will also be sharing some of her thoughts about short term mission trips, when they can be genuinely helpful and when they aren't. Toward the end, Monique and Krista share their thoughts about the new movie, "Am I Racist?" You won't want to miss this!

The world feels like an unstable place. It seems like we are constantly standing on the brink of military conflict. Some conservatives are raising questions about these on-going conflicts and that we seem to be constantly involving ourselves in other countries’ business. We've asked our friend, Kevin Briggins, to come on the show and share his perspective on these global conflicts. He's long time military vet and has a Bachelor's degree in Middle Eastern studies.

Politics is complicated and emotional. We have asked Kevin to come on and help us break down critical parts of the party platforms in light of the Christian worldview.

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. This week, our friend Erin Kunkle, is coming on the show to discuss her experience as a teenage mother and her journey to the faith.

We have been sounding the alarm for several years about the creep of progressive ideology coming into evangelical institutions since the beginning of the ministry. We have been especially vocal about issues related to indiscriminate hiring. Our friend, Megan Basham, has noticed many of the same problems but investigated things through a different means: following the money. Her reporting is raising important questions about historically trusted institutions. You will NOT want to miss this LIVE show!

More and more people are looking for alternatives to public education. We invited our friend, Jerry Nelson, Chief Ministry Officer at ACSI to share about the pros and cons of Christian schools. What are some important things to look for to see if it's a good fit for your family? Plus, we ask Jerry about ACSI's vision to put discipleship and biblical unity before diversity.

In this special edition of All The Things, Monique, Krista and Kevin went live to offer some biblical wisdom about the apparent assassination attempt on President Trump.

Krista shares some thoughts in response to a recent question we received: How do you obey the fifth commandment (see Eph. 6:1-3; Col. 3:20) when you are an adult, especially if your parents are difficult people or were abusive to you as a child?

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. This week, our friend Katy Faust (from Them Before Us), is coming back on the show to discuss recent developments in the public conversations about IVF and surrogacy. We are going to consider these technologies in light of the Christian worldview.

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/

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.

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.
