Family Meeting | CFBU

Monique and Kevin dive into the Center for Biblical Unity’s Mid-Year Campaign. We also tackle the Karmelo Anthony case with biblical honesty. Plus, we react to HelloFresh’s tone-deaf X-rated Pride Month ad and why Megan Basham (and many others) are voting with their dollars. Packed with biblical insight, real talk, and practical encouragement for living boldly in Christ, this episode equips you to think scripturally about justice, culture, and everyday faithfulness.

In this special Family Meeting, 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. If you're tired of race being used to split the Body of Christ, this is the conversation you need to hear. 📌 Read and sign the Los Angeles Statement on Race, Justice and Unity 👉 https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/racestatement

Kevin joined Monique and Krista tonight on the Family Meeting. There was a LOT to discuss! The Breakdown: ✅ America's education crisis ✅ Controversy at Wylie East High School in Texas where Muslim groups were allowed to distribute Qurans and hijabs during school hours while Christians had to stand on the sidewalk to hand out Bibles. ✅ Life and legacy of the Bob Woodson ✅ Monique shares her new article in the Christian Post and we introduce the Los Angeles Statement on Race, Justice, and Unity. ✅ Teen takeovers Read the Los Angeles Statement here: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/racestatement Read Monique's article in the Christian Times: https://www.christianpost.com/voices/the-one-biblical-truth-christians-are-missing-in-the-race-debate.html

Monique and Krista provide more examples of how progressive Christian politicians and pastors use the Bible and their pulpits to promote laws and policies that they believe are based on the Bible. It sounds a little Christian nationalist-y to us.... Read our short essay on Christian Nationalism https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/post/christian-nationalism

Monique and Krista react to Biola University’s "Think Biblically" podcast interview featuring JP Foster, author of The Gospel in My Black Skin. We discuss the persistent narrative of racial grievance that dominates the conversation. Hosts, Sean McDowell and Scott Rae ask softball questions with little pushback or analysis, raising fresh concerns about whether Biola is truly turning the corner on how it approaches racial issues. Kevin joins the second half of the conversation with his unfiltered take.

We break down the recent assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and examine the alarming rise of political violence, particularly from the left. We explore how heated rhetoric has escalated into real-world threats, what this third attempt on Trump’s life reveals about our divided nation, and how believers can respond amid growing cultural hostility.

Krista and Monique react to the recent debate between Allie Beth Stuckey and David French. They unpack how French appears to elevate emotion, selective empathy, and redefine "kindness" above biblical truth creating a dangerous false choice between compassion and reality. Watch as we explore what faithful Christianity looks like in confusing times.

Krista and Monique catch up on life updates before diving into the biggest headlines from a biblical perspective. They address Donald Trump’s controversial AI-generated image of himself as Jesus, Tucker Carlson’s claim that “Muslims love Jesus,” and the Pope’s recent visit to a major mosque in Algeria. They explain why Christians must exercise strong discernment when it comes to political figures and influencers offering theological commentary, highlighting the critical differences between the Jesus of the Bible and the Jesus of Islam.

Monique and Krista react to 'The View'’s criticism of conservative influencer Isabel Brown, encouraging young women to embrace God’s design for marriage and motherhood, challenging the cultural narrative that prioritizes career and self-fulfillment. Drawing from personal regrets and God’s grace in redirecting their lives, this is honest advice for Gen Z women and young moms navigating faith, family, and living in a secular world.

Kevin and Krista break down yesterday's Supreme Court decision and what this means for Christian counselors and individuals seeking help for gender dysphoria or unwanted same-sex attractions. They also dive into the ongoing war with Iran: military realities vs. media propaganda and why isolationism sounds good but fails. Kevin (who is also a former military intelligence analyst) addresses common objections and anti-Israel narratives gaining traction even on the right.

In this eye-opening conversation, Kevin Briggins explains China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the massive global project aiming for economic dominance through debt traps, infrastructure control, and an alternative to the US-led world order. Discover what President Trump's master plan is to fight back and how it connects to tariffs, alliances, pushing India to ditch Russian oil. From Greenland to Panama to Iran, this is your ticket to understanding the bigger economic war for global supremacy. "America First" means taking the fight to China before it's too late.

This week: Monique and Krista react to fitness icon Jillian Michaels facing off against body positivity activists on Jubilee's Surrounded. Is "health at any size" true? We unpack the clips, fat theory/critical theory ties, intersectionality, therapist affirmation culture, and the definition of discrimination. Plus, our take on a clip from the "Black Girl Theology" podcast promoting singleness as "wealth" — is that God's design for most? We share honest thoughts on marriage, family, and discipleship.

Dive deep into today's chaotic headlines. Find out how Trump's capture of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, U.S./Israeli strikes dismantling Iran's regime, abd the new "Shield of the Americas" coalition against cartels all fit together. This episode breaks it all down plainly with maps and real talk, explaining why these moves are America First.

We dive into the week's biggest stories on Christian Twitter: David French's New York Times piece praising Texas Democrat James Talarico as "decent" Christian. Plus Talarico's Holy Post interview pushing a "big tent" for pro-life Democrats. We unpack why Talarico's approach resembles progressive Christian nationalism—flipping the script on power, justice, and biblical truth while soft-pedaling abortion and trans issues. We also cover the underreported NYC incident: an anti-Islam "Stop the Islamic Takeover" protest outside Mayor Mamdani's home, countered by an ISIS-inspired bomb attempt. We discuss Islam's compatibility with the West, the failure of multiculturalism, rising extremes, and why biblical justice demands a better path.

Texas Primary results: Jasmine Crockett loses Senate primary to James Talarico, Prop 10 crushes Sharia law ban with ~95% YES vote. Plus: the emerging red-green alliance, progressives keep twisting Scripture into their own version of Christian nationalism, Iran war reality check (no WW3 panic). Toward the end, we discuss two exciting new programs from CFBU.

There are lots of people on social media with strong opinions about today's events in Iran. In this special Saturday livestream, Krista and Kevin dive into today's US-Israel air campaign against Iran's regime. With expert analysis from Kevin's military intelligence background, we try to help you distinguish between misinformation, "woke right" hypocrisy, "Israel derangement syndrome," and isolationist myths. As Christians who prize truth over agendas, we explore geopolitical implications of today's events and unprecedented doors opening for the gospel in a freer Iran. This is the place where we try to provide an informed, biblical perspective amid chaos. For more Christian analysis on breaking geopolitical issues, subscribe to our friend, Chuck Holton's channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hotzonepodcast

Monique and Krista tackle this week's viral moments with a biblical perspective on race, justice, and unity. Highlights include: • Gavin Newsom and his "I'm like you" 960 SAT moment; Was it racist? • 2026 State of the Union address: IVF affordability; "we ended DEI" • Questioning media disparities in missing persons coverage (e.g., intense focus on Nancy Guthrie vs. ~2,300 U.S. children reported missing daily) • Trans Minnesota lawmaker argues that porn access should remain available for queer youth because it is potentially "educational" Find out about CFBU's inaugural Ambassador cohort: https://www.centerforbiblicalunity.com/ambassador

Monique and Kevin discuss Rev. Jesse Jackson's recent death, marking the end of an era in Black civil rights activism.They reflect on their childhood reverence for Jackson as a civil rights icon alongside MLK, while also acknowledging how his legacy evolved into a "race hustler" who perpetuated grievance narratives and racial division rather than calling people to gospel repentance. They react to a clip from filmmaker and documentarian, Chad O. Jackson. Later, they react to a young social media personality who argues that multiculturalism/diversity weakens societies. It's a candid, "spicy" mix of nostalgia, sharp critique, humor, and a call to prioritize discipleship and true gospel hope.

In this week's Family Meeting, we unpack the headlines and apply a biblical lens to cultural chaos. First up: Logos Bible Software's Black History Month promotion sparked major backlash—offering discounts on "Black Christian Voices" while mixing solid teachers (like Voddie Baucham and Tony Evans) with progressive, LGBTQ-affirming, and womanist theology authors (including Raphael Warnock). Then: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl 2026 halftime show drew fierce controversy. We discuss if this reps Latino culture or pushes ratchet culture and anti-American vibes. We also tackle the IVF crisis and the staggering embryo wastage and why Christians must prioritize the sanctity of human life and child-centered justice. Plus: Politicized nurses' unions and tribalism in healthcare

This week, Monique and Krista were joined by Kevin Briggins for a lively conversation about how their thinking about Black History Month has shifted from celebrating shared achievements to endless grievance and oppression talk, fostering division over unity. Then they discuss Nicki Minaj's recent faith pivot and calling out Democrats, church disruptions, and alleged satanic rituals in the music business. While hopeful for genuine conversion, we are also cautious and echoes of the Kanye-era hype.

Monique is officially BACK! In this week's Family Meeting, Monique and Krista tackle "mommy Instagram" meltdowns, ICE protests in Minneapolis, propaganda wars, “legal observers,” disordered empathy in Christian circles, biblical justice vs. toxic compassion, immigration realities, and practical alternatives like E-Verify. Buckle up!

In this week's episode of the Family Meeting, Krista and Kevin explain President Trump's bold moves on Greenland and the geopolitical stakes. In the second half, they provide analysis of the recent YouTube debate between Joel Webbon and Ruslan on whether interracial marriage aligns with God's design for nations and peoples.

Is storming a church 'protected speech'? Join Krista and Mike Berry from First Liberty Institute for a clear, expert breakdown of the First Amendment: what the Founders meant by free speech, where the real limits lie (incitement, peaceable assembly, FACE Act violations), and how it applies to today's church disruptions and cultural battles. Get the facts beyond the headlines—constitutional clarity with a biblical perspective.

This week we dive deep into last week's tragic ICE shooting in Minneapolis with law enforcement expert Eric Muldrow from Code Red Conversations—breaking down the facts, cell cam footage, case law (Graham v. Connor & Tennessee v. Garner), and why the use of force was justified amid rising attacks on agents. We'll also share urgent prayer points from Iranian Pastor, Ramin Parsa, on the unfolding revolution in Iran.

Join Krista and Kevin for a Christian perspective on the stunning U.S. operation that removed Venezuela's dictator Maduro. Is this action consistent an "America First" approach? We break down the geopolitical stakes—oil deals, China/Russia/Iran ties, and America's backyard strategy. In the second half, we have a clarifying discussion on the core principles of "conservatism" and why we think Trump is basically a 1990s Democrat.

In this special edition of The Family Meeting, Krista examines the "I" in DEI from a historic Christian perspective. She contrasts the widely agreeable "noble" definitions of inclusion and belonging with their real-world applications in workplaces and Christian institutions, highlighting unintended consequences, ideological conflicts with biblical teaching, and how DEI practices often infiltrate conservative Christian universities through a shifting of definitions. A thoughtful call for Christians to pursue biblical unity, hospitality, and impartial justice rather than secular social engineering.

In this end-of-2025 live stream, Krista and Kevin tackle the explosive question dividing conservatives: Israel or Islam—which is the real threat to America and Christianity? They expose the rising "woke right" influence of Tucker Carlson (who calls concerns over radical Islam an "Israeli psyop" and blames Jewish influence for cultural decay), Candace Owens (downplaying radical Islam while obsessing over "Zionism"), and Nick Fuentes (openly arguing Jews/Israel are more powerful and dangerous than Islam). They warn against antisemitic tropes and grievance-based race hustling. Toward the end, we briefly ask, Why are Christian universities like Biola adopting Marxist-inspired DEI language? This is a timely, biblically-grounded conversation as fractures deepen in the post-Trump era.

In this week's edition of the Family Meeting, Monique came on for a few minutes at the beginning of the stream to provide an important life update. Then Krista and Kevin addressed a comment from last week's show about the "America First" movement, led by Nick Fuentes. That led into a discussion about the fracturing happening in conservative circles and broke out this weekend at AmFest hosted by TPUSA.

Kevin and Krista discuss a thread on X this week exposing the manufactured rise of Nick Fuentes: foreign bot farms boosting "America First" with fake followers from Pakistan, India, and beyond—revealing how racial grievance ops divide from within. Plus, Kevin breaks down a recent Biola University chapel spoken-word poem pushing white guilt and Marxist-influenced liberation theology, and why it's fueling bitterness and division on both the woke right and left.

Gen Z is screaming that the American Dream is de@d — and the numbers look brutal: only ~10% of 30-year-olds today own a home AND are married compared to over 50% in the 1960s. BlackRock & private equity are buying up houses with cash, 50-year mortgages are being floated, and the rage at “greedy boomers” is everywhere. But is it really the boomers’ fault? Is corporate home-buying the real villain? Should we ban corporations from owning single-family homes? Deport illegals to free up housing? Or is the hard truth that Gen Z needs to hear something totally different? Then the conversation gets even spicier: Matt Walsh says “America ONLY,” not just America First — no more money to Israel, Ukraine, or anyone else. Is that real nationalism… or an isolationist trap that only benefits China and Russia? Monique, Krista and Kevin go deep (with receipts) on: 👉 The real reasons homes are unaffordable (hint: it’s not just interest rates) 👉 Why marriage rates collapsing is crushing the housing market 👉 The BlackRock “feudalism 2.0” meme — fact or fear-mongering? 👉 Impact of local policies on housing supply while everyone screams at the federal government 👉 50-year mortgages: salvation or slavery? 👉 America First vs. America Only — can we really retreat from the world and stay rich & safe? If you’re Gen Z and furious, a Millennial who gave up, or a parent trying to help your kids, this is the conversation everyone needs to hear.

A Biola University art professor (15+ years on faculty) openly engages in performance art that explores 19th-century occult spiritualism, inviting participants to interact with esoteric symbology, ritual magic, confetti divination and pendulums—complete with a $85 divination toolkit promising "personal guidance and enlightenment." Monique breaks it all down from the artist's public website, podcast appearance, and installations. This information isn't hidden; it's leadership-approved under Biola's President, Barry Corey.

IN THIS EPISODE: • Biola University Updates: Their counseling center head wrote a brief supporting Colorado’s conversion therapy ban — while claiming to help students. • Megan Basham (Daily Wire) drops a bombshell article the next day. • Candace Owens vs. Allie Beth Stuckey & Melissa Dougherty’s “Candy Land” video The real question: Will YOU be bold?

NYC crowned a self-declared socialist mayor who wants government to be your god, your therapist, and your landlord. We play the 7-second clip where Zohran Mamdani promises “no problem too big for government to solve,” watch Tucker Carlson lob marshmallows at basement führer Nick Fuentes, and talk about the fallout at the Heritage Foundation. This unscripted family meeting is your wake-up call about the split happening now among Conservatives.

Krista and Monique expose the dark side of SNAP and welfare dependency, triggered by viral videos of massive EBT-funded grocery hauls that scream entitlement. The reality is, there are 41.7 million people—one in eight residents of America—on SNAP. This is immoral and soul-damaging. Long-term government handouts can create lifelong reliance, infantilize adults, and embody socialism where the state that feeds you can just as easily starve you. We also discuss the reality that biblical justice demands charity starting at home and in the church—not endless checks—while urging relief to lead to development through discipleship, work, and self-sufficiency. Bonus: Monique roasts black pastors praying over Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani and we briefly discuss the rise of the Red-Green alliance.

Krista is done with religious neutrality. In this raw Family Meeting (solo while Monique's flying home from TPUSA), she exposes Islam's 3-stage jihad plan to colonize America—and share EXACTLY what Christians must do NOW to save our Christian nation. This is your wake-up call.

We dive into Biola University's policies on sexuality and gender, raising critical questions for all Christian parents, alumni, and donors. As Biola grads, we unpack concerning wording in student life policies, from vague language on gender and sexuality to questionable approaches to transgender issues. Are these policies influenced by secular ideologies like gender theory? We explore what these policies might mean for students and why informed consent is crucial before writing that tuition check. Watch now to get equipped with the questions you need to ask any Christian college.

Join us as we unpack a whirlwind week filled with personal loss, unexpected challenges, and deep conversations. We reflect on the passing of our friend, Dr. Voddie Baucham, sharing unreleased footage and memories of his profound impact on the founding of the Center for Biblical Unity. We also dived into tough topics like the toxic online discourse around Israel and Jewish people, the rise of democratic socialism. Toward the end, we shared some of our personal thoughts and experiences with the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR).

Join us as we share our reactions to the Charlie Kirk Memorial Service, where powerful gospel presentations, worship, and patriotism took center stage. We also touch on the debate over Christian nationalism, addressing Jamar Tisby’s claims and unpack misconceptions about black culture from a viral New Christendom clip. Correction on Tulsi's religious background: Gabbard was raised in Hawaii by her mother, who was a practicing Hindu, and her father, who is Roman Catholic. Gabbard's family was deeply involved with the Science of Identity Foundation, a religious group in Hawaii and an offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement.

Join us for this hodge-podge of a "Family Meeting," where we dive into gratitude, faith, and navigating the week's social media themes. We discuss our candid questions about the state of the American education system and explore the meaning of Christian unity and what makes it unique. We share some thoughts about why trust in institutions is faltering, why conspiracy theories are so popular, and how biblical principles offer hope and clarity.

Monique Duson, Kevin Briggins and Krista Bontrager jumped on a livestream to share their thoughts about the day's tragedy: the assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of TPUSA.

Monique is joined by Dr. Thaddeus Williams, professor at Biola University, for a deep dive into a conversation of socialism versus capitalism from a biblical perspective. They discuss why many young Christians, particularly those aged 18-29, are drawn to socialist ideas. They unpack the misconceptions about socialism, its historical track record, and how it aligns—or conflicts—with biblical principles. Discover why 60-62% of young Americans view socialism favorably and explore the dangers of blending socialist ideology with Christian theology. They tackle tough questions: Is wealth inherently exploitative? Can markets exist under socialism? How should Christians approach justice and helping the poor? This thought-provoking discussion challenges bumper-sticker slogans and encourages viewers to love God and the poor with both heart and mind. 📌 Book recommendations: 👉 Confronting Injustice without Compromising Truth: 12 Questions Christians Should Ask About Social Justice: https://www.amazon.com/Confronting-Injustice-without-Compromising-Truth/dp/0310119480 👉 Social Justice and the Christian Church: https://www.amazon.com/Social-Justice-Christian-Church-Ronald/dp/0788099167 👉 Social Justice: How Good Intentions Undermine Justice and Gospel: https://downloads.frc.org/EF/EF13E133.pdf

This week on the Family Meeting, Krista was joined by Kevin Briggins and Dr. Jeff Degner from Cornerstone University. We reacted to a recent social media post on the CFBU Facebook page where commenters were talking about blending Christianity with socialism—can they coexist? Dr. Degner, an expert in economics from the Mises Institute, unpacks a few of the theological and economic flaws of socialism, drawing from Genesis 1:27-28 to highlight its conflict with biblical principles like private property and human nature.

Monique is talking about the big news of the week. She shares her thoughts about the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein case and what it means for justice. Then, she has some thoughts about the shocking surrogacy scam in Arcadia, CA (basically our backyard) involving 21 kids. This situation raises important questions about children’s rights and the ethics of surrogacy. Finally, she shares her concerns about Islamic influence in American politics, featuring insights from Ayaan Hirsi Ali and discussions on socialism’s compatibility with American values. Don’t miss this raw, honest conversation on biblical justice, cultural issues and standing for truth.

In this powerful Family Meeting, we dive deep into the critical conversation about Islam's compatibility with Christianity and American values. Joined by guest Laura Z. Powell, an expert with 15 years of experience ministering to Muslims worldwide, we explore the theological, cultural, and political differences that set Islam apart. From the origins of Islam with Muhammad to its modern implications in American society, we discuss why its worldview clashes with Christian beliefs and the principles of freedom in the U.S. Constitution. We also address concerns about political figures like Zoran Mamdani and initiatives like the East Plano Islamic Center, highlighting the strategic goals of Islam in Western societies, including the three stages of jihad and the doctrine of taqiyya.

Monique and Krista did a special edition of the Family Meeting today with our friends over at the Informed Takes podcast. They did a deep dive into the escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
