The Conquering Truth
by The Conquering Truth
Join us for a weekly discussion on living with discernment in this world. We’ll have discussions of how the gospel and the word of God ought to be applied to current events, the problems facing our society, the history of what God has done in the world, trends in the church and many other topics. The scriptures have a lot to say about those issues, and we see a lack of Biblical thinking and application to culture in many professing Christian circles today. We want to do our part to reverse that trend.Video episodes available at www.theconqueringtruth.com

-
What Was the ACTUAL Point of Circumcision?
Circumcision was established by God to identify specific earthly promises to Abraham and his descendants and to the nation that would come from him and through which the Messiah would come. Specifically, it was a sign that Abraham would be the father of many nations, and that through Israel…

Is "Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity" Biblical Justice?
While the Lindsay Clancy case has captured the nation’s attention, we want to ask a very specific question: Is “Not Guilty by reason of insanity” a biblical verdict? God’s word spends a great amount of time talking about justice and righteousness, so this should matter to us. Are we judged for…

Are Megachurches Dangerous?
In the last fifty years, megachurches have become commonplace and are an accepted model of church even in Reformed circles (in the sense that people plant churches with the intent of rapidly growing into a megachurch). But in Christianity, the details always matter, and while God has at times...
-
How Evil Leaders Use Power to Terrorize Victims
Why is it that leaders can be guilty of injustice and oppression for years, only to be finally removed from office or publicly disgraced when a sexual scandal breaks? Why do men like Bill Gothard or Joe Biden spend years openly using their authority and forcing women and children to endure their...
-
Do Dispensational Hermeneutics Lead to Heresy?
Within dispensationalism, there are standard hermeneutical principles that on the surface sound reasonable. But when taken to their logical conclusions, many of these principles actually stand in the way of understanding the mind of God and often introduce significant error. We firmly believe…

Why Does God Decree Suffering? A Reformed Baptist Perspective
We’re starting with a fundamental question this episode: Why did God choose to create a world that would come to be filled with suffering? When human tragedy strikes, skeptics often cite the “problem of evil” to challenge God’s goodness or His sovereignty. But even worse, rather than confronting...
-
Why Complementarianism Can't Save the Christian Family
Patriarchy gets associated with everything that liberal Christianity and modern American culture hates about a biblically ordered home. Because of this, many Christians have abandoned the term patriarchy and replaced it with complementarianism. And the problem with this is that in practice,...
-
Why Everybody Hates Authority (And Why God Created It)
Many people think bad thoughts when they hear the word “authority”. This is partly because the nature and heart of fallen man is to desire his own way, which leads him to fight against what an authority tells him to do. But authority was created by God for good. Without authority, the world falls...
-
Do Protestants Need the Church Fathers?
It is very easy to get the church fathers wrong. From thinking that their doctrine was better or more pure, or that their proximity to Christ and the apostles gave them greater authority, there are many ways to go astray in considering their proper place in the church’s history. And while Christ...
-
My Husband Isn’t a Believer! How a Christian Wife Can Live in Peace
One of the most challenging issues for a Christian wife to face is when her husband either is openly an unbeliever or even more difficult when he claims to be a believer but behaves in a way that is betrays his faith. And while scripture gives very clear directions in 1 Peter 3:1, “Wives…

Was Jesus a Legalist? Why the Modern Church Hates God's Law
When people try to live according to God’s law, they are frequently accused of being legalists, prompting us to ask a startling question: Was Jesus a Legalist? To truly answer this, we must look past cultural definitions and ask from a scriptural standpoint, What is Legalism? In this episode of…

Is the American Dream Dead?
Most of us grew up hearing about the “American Dream” As a political slogan, it’s is useful, primarily because the hearer gets to decide exactly what it means. And politicians on both sides love to argue that they are the ones fighting for the American Dream while their opponents are actively...
-
Arminian Verses Debunked: Are They Rightly Handling the Word?
When confronted with the historical doctrines of grace, Arminians frequently respond by citing popular proof-texts like John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9, and 1 Timothy 2:4 to deny God's absolute sovereignty over salvation. But are these passages being handled righteously, or are they being ripped entirely...
-
Do Pentecostals Mock the Holy Spirit?
Many Pentecostals and charismatics claim that a natural part of the Christian life is to experience a "second baptism" of the Holy Spirit - but is this modern teaching true or is it a form of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? Even more importantly, what is the true ministry of the Holy Spirit?…

Does Jesus Love Unbelievers? (A Terrible Start to Evangelism)
Many people think that effective evangelism begins with proclaiming Jesus’ love for sinners. But there’s the question, and it’s an important one: Has Jesus commanded us to tell unbelievers that He loves them? And when we say those words, do people understand that their most pressing need is to be...
-
What Sam Allberry’s Fall Tells You About Your Local Church
Christian celebrity culture gets rightly criticized for its worldliness, its elevation and celebration of men and their achievements, and its tendency to create apologetics for all types of unbiblical behaviors. But there is also a tendency to divorce celebrity culture from the culture of our…

Why are Gen Z Men are Converting to Roman Catholicism?
There's been a lot of talk in the past few years about how young men are leaving Protestant churches for the Roman Catholic Church. It's easy to forget that the Roman Catholic Church, like all other cults and false religions, uses carnal means and methods to cause those who are dead in their sins...
-
Arranged Marriage, Courtship, or Dating? What does the Bible Say?
There has been a big shift in America in how men and women decide to get married. In early America, parents had a very high level of authority and responsibility over who their children married. This was partly driven by economic and social factors, where the parents were more concerned about...
-
Contumacy: The Reason For Most Excommunications
In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore "contumacy"—the most common reason for excommunication in faithful churches today. While many assume church discipline is only for overt scandals like adultery, contumacy is a stubborn refusal to submit to the biblically established authority of...
-
Is Arminianism Actually a Heresy?
Most professing Christians today hold to Arminian views, often assuming the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism is merely a secondary issue or a sort of "family squabble." But is it much more serious than that? In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore why the Reformers saw the...
-
Why the First Pentecost Led to Death (and the Last Led to Life)
Why did the first Pentecost lead to death while the last led to life? Most Christians celebrate Pentecost as the "birthday of the church," but its roots go back much further—to the foot of Mount Sinai. In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore the profound biblical connection between…
more -
Should Christians Eat Dogs?
Why is a dog a "best friend" but a pig is "breakfast"? As Western Christians, we often mistake our cultural taboos for biblical mandates. We recoil at the idea of eating horses or cats, yet we enjoy bacon and shellfish without a second thought—all while claiming our standards are rooted in...
-
War, Tariffs, and the Death of the Rule of Law
The US constitution was designed to limit the power of the president regarding taxes and the use of the military. This limitation of power goes all the way back to the Magna Carta and has its foundations in biblical principles. So when the Supreme Court overturned president Trump's tariffs and…

Doctor Assisted Suicide - The Moral Endgame for National Healthcare?
In Canada, there is a law called MAiD which stands for Medical Assistance in Dying which permits medical personnel to help with suicide. Their criteria are such that in 2024 5.1% of all deaths in Canada are caused by medical personnel legally murdering or assisting in the murder of their…

Can Man Resist the Grace of God?
If grace is the goodness of God, then it seems obvious that some goodness can be resisted while others can’t. Think about a baby being born. If the mother and father want to bring the baby out of the womb there’s nothing the baby can do to stop it. Or consider an unconscious man whose heart has...
-
Who is Israel? The Madness of Huckabee vs Carlson
Recently, Tucker Carlson interviewed Ambassador Mike Huckabee and asked him questions that he struggled to answer. Questions like: Who are the children of Abraham? Who are the Jews? What is the land that God promised? And what was the nature of that promise? And, in this present time, how do we...
-
Reformed Free Will: How Man's Will Is Subservient to God’s
Arminians want to argue that to have free will is somehow against predestination and the election of God in salvation, but that is not what the Reformed confessions teach. For example in the Second London Baptist Confession of Faith it says, “God hath decreed … all things, … yet God [is] neither...
-
Was Epstein Really a Monster? Man’s Depravity and God’s Justice
When people talk about Jeffrey Epstein or other evil men, like Jeffrey Dahmer or Adolf Hitler, they tend to label them “monsters” or “sub-human”. They do this in an attempt to not only distance themselves from their evil acts, but to separate themselves further by saying that these evil men had a...
-
How the Super Bowl Has Ravaged the Church
There are churches that hold Super Bowl parties or cancel Sunday evening services so people can watch the Super Bowl. If the Sabbath is a day of rest, why shouldn't we do what we want to relax on that day? Thumbnail image by Alan Owns under BY-NC-SA 2.0 Timecodes 00:00 Sabbath Made for Man 09:56...
-
The Big Lie of Easy Believism (The Death of Scott Adams)
Scott Adams, the cartoonist who created Dilbert, died recently, and as part of his final public statements, made a very disturbing profession of non-faith while claiming to accept Christ as his Lord and Savior. The general response to this within Christian circles was even more disturbing, with...
-
Moses Was Not a Dispensationalist
Dispensationalists often argue that Old Testament promises to Israel must only be fulfilled in a physical way to the earthly nation of Israel. There are many complexities with that view because even in the Old Testament, the word “Israel” is also used to mean the promised land, the northern...
-
Is Interracial Marriage Sinful or Unwise?
There are many false teachers on social media who are making foolish statements about race, culture, and marriage, saying things like, “interracial marriage isn’t a sin, it’s just not ideal,” or “it’s fine to tell your white daughter she shouldn’t marry a solid Christian black man because you…

Why Annihilationism is Heresy
Does the Bible clearly teach that those who did in their sin are tormented for all eternity in the lake of fire? Or does it suggest that there is an end to God’s wrath against sinners? While the church has long held the former position, in late 2025, Kirk Cameron posted a video where he genuinely...
-
Is the American Church Bloodthirsty? Venezuela, Trump & Unjust Wars
Recently, President Trump sent troops into Venezuela to “arrest” President Maduro, an action that, according to the Constitution, certainly should require the approval of Congress. And even though President Trump did this on his own authority and, according to many reports, around 100 people were...
-
Is Heresy Only Against Essential Doctrines?
Kirk Cameron came out recently saying that he leaned toward a view of conditionalism which is a flavor of annihilationism. Many people started to ask, “Is Kirk Cameron a heretic?” Todd Friel described why he thinks annihilationism is not a heresy and why therefore Cameron is not a heretic. To do...
-
How Feminism Hates Women
It can be counter intuitive to think that feminists hate women, but when they insist that men and women are equal in every way, what they are really doing is saying women need to become men to be valuable. But God’s word teaches that both women and men are made in the image of God and that the...
-
New Testament Hermeneutics: How the NT Uses the OT
Do the New Testament writers ever use the Old Testaments verses that they quote out of context? It’s an important concept to consider because many people use proof texting to make theological arguments. They will quote a verse divorced from its context and declare that it means what they want it…
more -
Does the Bible Command Christians to Tithe?
Christians are often told to tithe, but many often wonder, is tithing really commanded for Christians? Or is it an Old Testament ordinance that passed away with the ceremonial law. Before we talk about whether the tithe is biblical, it is important to understand something. God doesn't need our...
-
The Thanksgiving Command for Christians (REUPLOAD)
We all know the story of the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving, and how they celebrated their first year, a year of loss and hardship, by pouring out their hearts in thankful worship to God. But do we really understand the nature of thanksgiving itself (the act of worship, not the holiday)? In...
-
Was Charlie Kirk Ashamed of the Gospel?
Since Charlie Kirk's assassination, more people are naming the name of Jesus in public. And many Christians think that if they are willing to mention the name of Jesus Christ in public that they are not ashamed of Him or His gospel. But is that really what scripture teaches? In Romans 1, Paul…
more -
How Spiritual Gifts Use Ordinary Means
When we hear the term spiritual gifts, most Christians see it as this mystical, almost magical work of God that comes over you, and all of a sudden, you can speak in tongues or heal people, but is that how the Bible describes spiritual gifts in practice? The Pentecostal movement has, in many…

The Error of Paedocommunion: Covenant, Communion, & Confusion
As Baptists we disagree on scriptural and covenantal grounds with the Presbyterian practice of infant baptism, but even more serious is the growing practice in some circles, such as the CREC and those who follow Doug Wilson, of paedocommunion or infant communion. While we believe infant baptism…

The Nicene Creed: The First Reformation
As 2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the first Council of Nicaea, we want to look back at how God has used times of great uncertainty and confusion to strengthen his church and bring order and light to later generations. It is so easy to think that we live in darker times than those who went...

The Untold Truth About the Nigerian Martyrs
Recently, Cliffe Knechtle was interviewed by Tucker Carlson and he was asked if he thought there was more Christian persecution in the world or if there was a revival of Christianity in the US and he answered “Both”. In his explanation, he referenced a statistic that the 20th century had more...
-
Unequally Yoked: Living with an Unsaved Wife
While scripture commands those who follow after Christ to marry in the faith, many Christians end up in the situation where they are married to a husband or wife who is not a believer. And while there are times where the unbeliever chooses to leave or divorce, there are many cases where they do...

The Dangers of Homeschooling
People often talk about the blessings of homeschool without discussing the challenges and problems that parents and children face. And while many parents fear that they will fail their children, often their fears are about the wrong things. As everyone on the panel is homeschooling or has...
-
Why the Church Must Reject Government’s Crumbs
Why is the American church so desperate to receive a handout from the government? Why are Christians so willing to approve of men with no testimony of faith and to follow after them, seeking their approval in return? Is it because of a lack of understanding or a lack of faith? For the purposes of...

Emotional Manipulation: How Leaders Exploit Our Fears and Desires
Whether it is politicians saying that we can deport illegal immigrants because you are separating children from their parents or the bill needs to pass because it is the biggest spending cut ever, politicians lead primarily with stirring up emotions. The church isn't much different as music and...

James Dobson: Was the Church Following a Psychologist?
