    Abolitionism Is Reframing the Abortion Debate; SBC Women Preaching Debate

    Sunday Night Potluck – In this unscripted livestream, I explain the growing movement of abolitionism, which involves a different approach to calling out the wickedness of abortion. And why I have become sympathetic to this framework. In the second half, I share my take on the rise of women preaching in elder-led churches and how it connects to what's happening in the SBC and PCA.

    The Fog of Facts: Why It's So Hard to Know What's True Anymore

    In part 2 of her teaching series on conspiracy theories, Krista dives deep into some of the reasons why discerning truth feels increasingly like navigating quicksand in our post-truth, post-trust world. Krista honestly explores how facts have become slippery, why fact-checkers and official narratives often eroded trust further (especially during the pandemic), and the very real human cost: fractured relationships. She acknowledges the confusion many Christians feel while pointing toward hope and the ultimate anchor in God’s unchanging Word.

    The Church Continues to be Divided by Race – Will We Choose Healing or Division?

    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 ATT#226 Season 8, Show 6

    How Grievance Culture Has Destroyed Jesus' Call to Generous Forbearance

    Sunday Night Potluck – In this unscripted livestream, I wrestle honestly with one of Jesus’ most challenging commands: “Turn the other cheek” (Matthew 5 : 38-48). I explore the Old Testament background of “eye for an eye,” the surrounding context and how the early church understood this passage. I also confront the struggle to contextualize this verse in the modern context. How do we resist outrage culture and engage in the radical patience and forbearance that Jesus requires us to practice, even toward our enemies? In the final 30 minutes, I share my decades-long struggle to apply Matthew 5 to my own life.

    The TRUTH about Conspiracy Theories––What Christians Need to Know!

    In this first episode of the series “The TRUTH about Conspiracy Theories,” theologian Krista Bontrager explores what we even mean by the term “conspiracy theory,” traces its surprising history, and examines why these ideas feel so magnetically attractive, especially in a time when trust in institutions has been shattered. Drawing on her own journey, Krista calls Christians to pursue truth with open eyes and humble hearts rather than fear or pride.

    The Feminist Choices I Made as a Young Mother Without Realizing It

    In this honest reflection, I share how I unknowingly carried feminist thinking into my 20s and 30s as a young mom, chasing seminary, academia, and a theology career while barely thinking about family. I open up about my regrets and the long-term cost of putting career over presence. This is a highlight from the 5/31/26 Sunday Night Potluck. #YoungMom #StayAtHomeMom #ChristianMotherhood #BiblicalWomanhood

    Childism Exposed: The Hidden Framework Behind Gentle Parenting

    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

    The Rise of Apologetics Influencers: Pros & Cons

    I explore how the world of Christian apologetics has dramatically shifted from traditional conferences and vetted publishers to the age of YouTube influencers. With nearly 30 years in the field, I discuss the pros and cons of this democratization and how I see myself as fitting into the giant trailer park of the apologetics world.

    The Side B Trap: Why “Gay Christian” Is Not the Freedom Christ Offers

    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.

    Why Christians Must Legislate Morality – How to Renew a Culture

    How does the Gospel of the Kingdom transform nations—not just individual hearts? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Rev. Dr. Joe Boot, founder of the Ezra Institute for Contemporary Christianity and author of The Mission of God, to explore the public lordship of Christ over culture, law, politics, and nations. Dr. Boot unpacks why many Christians have settled for a small, privatized gospel and lays out a robust biblical vision for cultural renewal and faithful public engagement.

    Why I Think America Should Be an Explicitly CHRISTIAN Nation

    Krista examines how the Founders took for granted a biblical moral framework. They never imagined our country would be overthrown by secularism or activist Muslims pushing for parallel societies that reject assimilation. Krista reads Dr. Albert Mohler’s 2024 article, “What Is Missing from Our Constitutional Order?” and explores why the American experiment in religious liberty needs boundaries.

    My Cautiously Optimistic Update About Biola University – What's Changed?

    I share the latest developments at Biola University since October 2025 and I explain why I am cautiously optimistic about Biola’s re-direction. I also offer a direct plea to the administration so parents can confidently choose Biola again. Real change is happening—but there’s still work to do.

    How Judaism Planted the Seeds of Modern Democracy

    In this important conversation, I sit down with Messianic Jewish scholar Dr. Golan Broshi to explore the revolutionary biblical roots of democracy and Western freedom. Discover how the Torah introduced groundbreaking ideas, that stood in stark contrast to the surrounding pagan nations and profoundly shaped the ideals of constitutional republics like America. This discussion defends the validity of the idea of a "Judeo-Christian" worldview and reveals why these ancient truths still matter for justice, freedom, and civilization today.

    Answering 3 Reasons Protestants Convert to Catholicism or Orthodoxy

    In this addendum to my "Classical Protestant View on Tradition" series, I tackle three of the biggest reasons many Protestants feel drawn to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. I share how I wrestled through these issues, and ultimately why they weren't enough to pull me away from a classical Protestant approach. Watch part 1 of this series: https://youtu.be/yZvzn565Aoc

    How to Ground Your Kids' Identity in Christ (Not Culture)

    In a world bombarding our kids with conflicting messages about identity, where does true identity come from? Is it based on feelings, performance, appearance, or politics? I sit down with Andrea Crum from Genuine Family Ministries to explore a biblical framework for identity. We discuss the importance of Christian parents discipling their children how to stand firm on God's unchanging truth instead of cultural chaos and build a faith that lasts. Andrea also shares exciting details about her new Worldview Prepared curriculum for teens. She has a big vision to equip the next generation with a robust biblical worldview against postmodern ideas.

    Why I Didn't Convert to Catholicism or Orthodoxy: My Journey Through Tradition

    In Part 3 of this teaching series, I finish unpacking the 6 different definitions of "tradition" and explain what I see as the real fault line that separates classical Protestants from Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox understandings of tradition and Scripture. My goal isn't to attack, but to clarify. I have deep respect for the reverence Catholics and Orthodox show for the things of God. Yet after examining the evidence, I believe Protestantism stays closer to the apostolic faith once for all delivered to the saints.

    How the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy Still Shapes Evangelicalism Today

    Why does the evangelical church have so little influence on culture today? To get to that answer, we must understand the last 120 years of American Protestant history, back to the fundamentalist-modernist controversy of the late 1800s/early 1900s. In this powerful conversation on the Ideas Have Consequences podcast, Scott D. Allen and I walk you through the history that shaped modern evangelicalism. This is a call for renewal, not retreat or cultural accommodation. My hope is that leaders will return to a distinctly biblical approach to culture, education, justice, and discipleship. This is essential history for anyone who wants to understand progressive Christianity, deconstruction, and doctrinal drift in evangelical institutions. Learn how we got here and what it will take to chart a better way forward. 👉 Recommended: The episode that inspired this discussion: “Biola’s Founders Fought Modernism.

    Why I'm Still Protestant – Navigating Tradition & Scripture, part 2

    I continue my series on why I remain Protestant after over a decade of serious study and reflection on Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. I unpack four key definitions of "tradition" that I think fit within a Protestant framework. If you're wrestling with these questions or want clarity for family conversations, this is for you.

    A Classical Protestant View of Tradition, part 1

    One of the most common questions that I get these days is, What is the relationship between Scripture and tradition? This is often prompted by followers who are beginning to explore conversion to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy or have children who are. I am finally sharing my public answer to this question after a decade of study and dialogue. In this first teaching, I explain the problem and survey the major New Testament passages used by Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox apologists to make their case for tradition and to undermine the classical Protestant view of sola scriptura. #SolaScriptura #Tradition #Catholic #Orthodox #Protestant

    Your Calendar Is Shaping Your Soul (And You Don't Even Know It)

    Calendars quietly structure our lives and shape our priorities. In this episode, I explore an ancient, counter-cultural alternative to the secular rhythm of life: the historic Christian calendar. It calls us year after year to live deeply in the story of redemption. I'm excited to unpack this rich tradition with my friend, Fr Hayden Butler, a traditional Anglican priest.

    Theology for Regular People: Why Every Christian (Parent) Needs It

    In this crossover episode with my friends at the Mama Bear Apologetics podcast, Amy Davison and I discuss my thoughts about why I think theology must come before apologetics. Discover how building a solid foundation in the faith can help to equip parents to disciple their children and raise kids with a fully orbed biblical worldview. I try to provide some practical, accessible advice for "regular people" who want to think deeply about God without feeling overwhelmed.

    Grassroots Apologetics: How Three Moms Are Equipping the Next Generation

    In this episode, Krista Bontrager interviews three ordinary moms who stepped up with basic apologetics training to equip families and defend the faith: Jen Beitel started a local family ministry (U.N.I.T.E.D.), Alicia Moss teaches women in her church on cultural issues, and Michelle Lazor curates wholesome, worldview-aligned books through her online book club, Mud Hen Mama. This is an inspiring look at how everyday believers—no PhDs required—are making a real difference for the Kingdom of God.

    Inclusion & Belonging in DEI: What Christians Need to Know | Family Meeting 1/8/26

    In this special edition of the Theology Mom podcast, 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.

    Biola’s Founders Fought Modernism — Will Today’s Leaders Fight Postmodernism?

    Biola was founded in 1908 to fight theological modernism when mainline schools abandoned orthodoxy. Today, postmodernism—with its rejection of truth, deconstruction of Scripture, and embrace of critical theories—threatens historic Christianity the same way. Biola’s founders had the courage to build an unapologetic outpost for biblical truth. Now it’s Biola's turn to lead again. This is a call to courage. #BiolaUniversity #Postmodernism #ChristianCourage #TheologyMom #BiolaChronicles

    What Did Conversion Look Like in the Early Church?

    Most of us grew up with “getting saved” in one night: gospel presentation → raise your hand → pray the sinner’s prayer → maybe get baptized later. But when you actually read Acts conversion looked very different. In this teaching we’ll walk through the major conversion accounts in the book of Acts and then trace how the process evolved into the 1–3 year discipleship process practiced by the ancient church. If you’ve ever wondered: ✅ Should churches do same-day baptisms? ✅ Is the modern sinner’s prayer biblical? ✅ What process could churches put in place to provide a wise on-ramp for new believers? …this teaching is for you. Part of the Everyday Evangelism teaching series.

    I’ve Changed My Mind About Biola University – Here’s Why (Special Update)

    Special update: I share the latest developments at Biola University after the recent gender policy changes. I also react to Thaddeus Williams’ latest video and Megan Basham’s reporting. Toward the end, I explain the major shift in my view after realizing why Biola still employs staff and faculty across a wide spectrum of views, including those who are sympathetic to social justice, liberation theology, and DEI. This is the information that prospective parents, donors, and alumni need to know. PROGRAMMING NOTE: I had originally uploaded a slightly different version of this video. I am reuploading it (24 hours later) with a new, slightly modified ending. I feel like this ending is more clear to what I was aiming to get at.

    From Depressed Teen to Theology Mom: Two Women Who Changed My Life

    At 15, I was a lonely, fatherless freshman drowning in depression. I had braces, curly hair, and zero friends. But two ordinary Christians noticed me—and my life changed forever. In this emotional episode, I reunite with two Christian women and talk about how God used them in my life. Thirty years later, we marvel at how God used regular people to help pull a broken girl out of the pit and into purpose. If you’ve ever wondered if your small act of kindness matters, this one’s for you. You don’t need a platform. You just need to notice the lonely person on the bench. One conversation, one prayer, one nudge from the Holy Spirit can alter someone’s eternity. #ChristianTestimony #TheologyMom #RedemptionStory #HighSchoolFaith

    How Should Christians Engage the Public Square in a Pluralistic World? | 9/27/25 | ATT#219

    Join us for a conversation exploring the intersection of Christianity, religious liberty, and the public square with Dr. Andrew T. Walker, professor of ethics and public theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. In this thought-provoking discussion, we tackle several pressing questions: How should Christians navigate religious pluralism in America’s constitutional republic? What does the Bible say about freedom of religion? And how do we address cultural challenges like the “Muslim problem” and Christian nationalism while preserving the American experiment? From the Founding Fathers’ vision to today’s Jesus-centered public discourse, this conversation offers biblical insights and practical wisdom for engaging in today’s complex cultural moment. Time stamps of key moments: 4:06 Introduction to guest's background and research focus. 7:25 Theological framework for religious liberty. 11:51 Founders' views on religion and the public square. 22:11 What do you think the Founding Fathers would think about recent "Jesus talk" in government? 37:04 How should we address the cultural challenges from Islam and pluralism? 50:32 Perspectives on Christian nationalism and its implications.
