Episodes

  1. Is There Racism in America? Guest Speaker Dr. Daryl McCarthy

    Most whites rushing to endorse #blacklivesmatter mean well. It's probably their way of saying, "I'm white, but I'm NOT racist." Perhaps they should reconsider what they're actually endorsing. #BLM is a new and insidious form of racism. Listen to today's guest speaker to find out what that really...

  2. The Untold Side of Slavery in America

    Is it true that racism is linked to slavery? Is there something else at play here? Or do we just have a false narrative here in America based on neo-Marxist ideology that is trying to take over our nation like a creeping vine – looks pretty at first, and the next thing you know it’s taken over…

  3. #BlackLivesMatter and the Fallacy of Moral Knowledge

    All human beings have a hardwired moral aptitude or capacity. It’s the way God designed us. This moral dimension is made up of choices we make with some sort of reference to what we believe is good and what we believe is evil; what is right and what is wrong. When there is an absence of biblical...

  4. Politics and the Coronavirus

    Why? Why would one political party want to exploit the coronavirus? Oddly, for many Democrat Party leaders, it must seem like a God-send! What were the six most powerful positives President Trump had going for him as we neared November’s election? The Economy Lowest unemployment rate in our...

  5. Masks or No Masks? That is the Question!

    Two of the world’s major health organisations disagree on mask wearing. The World Health Organisation (WHO) currently discourages mask use while the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends them. Who is right and what evidence is there that masks prevent contamination? Well, I hope you'll bear...

  6. The Pandemic That Hasn't Panned Out

    Let's think about responses to COVID-19 in light of the actual numbers—responses should be made based on facts, truth, and actual data. I want us to make informed decisions and not to be led about by people with bad motives and bureaucrats who have become more than a little power hungry. Can we…

  7. KC Christians Took a Stand and Made a Difference!

    THANK YOU to all clear-thinking, engaged, caring, and brave pastors and Christian leaders who got involved and said "NO" to the Mayor Lucas's original order to require sign-in sheets and to turn registration over to city government. These orders were unconstitutional. But due to godly men and…

  8. Stephen King or the KING of Kings? How Russell Moore Has Failed the Church Once Again

    Our world-wide pandemic and quarantine crisis provided an opportunity for the Church to come alive, to stretch out her hand and remind our nation, and our world, that God is faithful and that Jesus alone holds the cure for what ails the human soul. This was our BIG chance to say to the world…

  9. What We Learn From The Hebrides Revival

    This is the final podcast in the series on the Great Hebrides Revival of 1949-1952. What are some takeaways we can apply to our lives - lessons we can learn from one of the most powerful moves of God in the past two hundred years?

  10. Berneray and Hector McKennon - Part Four of the Hebrides Revival

    This week we’ve been looking at a small area of Scotland called the Hebrides and how God moved by His Spirit on this place starting in 1949 until 1952. Duncan Campbell, the primary preacher during the revival, never allowed people to say HE brought the revival to the Hebrides. He always pointed…

  11. Duncan Campbell - An Eyewitness Account - Part 2

    In today's podcast we finish the story of Duncan Campbell's eyewitness account of what happened in the Great Revival of the Hebrides in 1949-1952. God moved in such miraculous and powerful ways forever changing the hearts and lives of men and women and children through the outpouring of His Holy...

  12. Duncan Campbell - An Eyewitness Account

    In 1968, Duncan Campbell tells the first-hand account of what exactly happened during the Great Hebrides Revival of 1949-1952. This is Part I of his eyewitness report.

  13. The Great Hebrides Revival

    From 1949 to 1952, the Holy Spirit fell on the Isle of Lewis' small village of Barvas and transformed men, women, and children who lived there. It was one of the greatest moves of the Holy Spirit since the Day of Pentecost. This week I'll be looking at what brought the revival, how it changed...

  14. The Acceptance of Being Unimportant

    Is it possible, as followers of Christ, for us to find meaning in the small details of a faithful life, raising a family, caring for others, quietly serving without applause or recognition? Am I okay to never be famous, or celebrated?

  15. Hey! Don't Forget The Thanksgiving Part!

    There's a lot to be thankful for in this strange time we're living in...we just have to look for it and follow the old hymn, and count our blessings!

  16. The Theology I Learned From My Dog

    Little did I know that when we brought a three-pound puppy into our lives, God had big plans for the both of us! I hope you'll listen to today's podcast as I share how my dog Mindy taught me about God.

  17. A Temporary Weight of Glory

    Ever feel like God doesn't like you? Ever feel He's displeased with you? Lots of saints have. Even Mother Theresa! CS Lewis called it a Weight of Glory. Hope this encourages you as we wait together for the end of quarantine. If you need prayer or want to share something, please feel free to email...

  18. Let God Arise and His Enemies Be Scattered!

    I’m not moved by what I see; I’m not moved by what I feel; I’m not moved by what I hear going on around me; I’m not moved by empty store shelves; I’m not MOVED! I stand on the promises of God and I know His Word is trustworthy and every promise is yea and amen! There is no shadow of turning with...

  19. Who Likes Second Place?

    Thank God we can bring our 2nd place lives, our mistakes, our birth defects, all of our foolishness, our sins, and we can lay them at the feet of Jesus and say, “I'm so flawed and broken but here I am Beautiful Jesus, here I am and if you can do anything with this 2nd place life of mine-- I am...

  20. You Were Born for This Day!

    Your birth was not an accident. You were brought forth for this very day! God knew you were needed for March 19, 2020. No matter where you are or what is happening around you – God is mindful of you. So, let’s SEEK HIS FACE and CALL UPON THE NAME OF THE LORD and ask HIM, “Lord, I was born for…

  21. The Church Will Rise!

    Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you will be able to STAND your ground, and having done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed, and with your feet fitted…

  22. Quietness in Quarantine - He's a Good Good Shepherd

    We are living in some amazing times! Thank God He is near. During these times it is important for us to bring every thought into captivity and declare with our mouths, with our hearts and with our minds, “OUR God reigns and He is trustworthy and dependable. We are not moved by what we see or what...

  23. Love in the Time of Coronavirus

    In my lifetime, I’ve never heard a presidential address brought on by a disease or a sickness. Have you? So, I started thinking about a book I read a few years ago on the rise of Christianity. The early church always did the hard things well, so I thought that would be a good place to start when...

  24. There Once Was A Dog Who Had A Girl

    CS Lewis believed that dogs with names go to heaven. That when a dog is loved by a human being, then that dog is in heaven waiting for its owner to come home. I like to believe that. I believe all the dogs I’ve loved are in heaven waiting for me with tails wagging and tongues licking and happy...

  25. The Beautiful Purpose of Fleas

    Comfort the frightened, help the weak, be patient with everyone. See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus, (1 Thessalonians...

  26. Acedia & Me! Finding Holiness in the Mundane

    Sloths are cute! Acedia? Not so much. Acedia is my biggest sin. And the only antiserum for this sin is spiritual discipline. It is me opening up my heart, mind, and soul to the living God and inviting Him into the most mundane tasks of my life and celebrating His love and beauty in the most...

  27. It's Marx's Birthday and I'll Cry If I Want To!

    Karl Marx wrote in The Communist Manifesto, “I wish to avenge myself against the God who rules above. The idea of God is the keynote of a perverted civilization; it must be destroyed. My object in life is to dethrone God and destroy capitalism,” (1848). Well guess what? Marx is dead and…

  28. Beauty Is Not In The Eye of The Beholder - Beauty Is In The Eye of The Creator

    In today’s Celebrity Christianity it seems that only the strong, the flashy, the brilliant are admired and recognized. Best-selling authors and world-renown speakers are the ones that get the following. We like our TV evangelists, our hipster praise and worship leaders, the attractive, the fit…

    more
  29. There's No Such Thing As Spectacular Sin, But There is a Spectacular Savior!

    In Spectacular Sins, John Piper works hard to make a case that God is in control and therefore he actually ordains sin for his own purposes and brings about natural disasters as judgement. I strongly disagree. Here's what we do know: Even the most horrible things in our lives can be turned for…

    more
  30. Am I Free or Just Loose?

    What's the difference between being free and just loose? Is it important? Maybe freedom isn’t as much about where I am as who I am. Freedom isn’t about governments or human rights or the ability to come and go as I please. Freedom is about doing the right thing even when it’s hard; freedom is…

    more
  31. Stop Pussy Footing Around and Get Serious!

    It’s really important as followers of Jesus that we know who are the movers and shakers in our Christian world. Who are those gatekeepers? Because what they believe, and what they teach has a tremendous impact on the Church and our nation. You might think, “I don’t care about that…” Fill in the...

  32. I Want to Google God

    Sometimes I really, really wish that I could put God's name in my Google search engine and come up with some answers. You know, like when you can't remember the name of a movie or you can't remember which State some national monument is in? All you have to do is put in a word, or a close…

  33. Anything Is Better Than Conservative Traditional Values, You Weirdo!

    Sadly we’ve become a people that believes it's more righteous to criticize and protest against refugee vetting, immigration reform, and to stand up and speak out for a woman’s choice, because ANYTHING is better or more virtuous than conservative or traditional values; anything is better than…

    more
  34. Tim Keller and Democratic Socialism Part II

    Tim Keller wants us to change the culture; he's dissatisfied with the status quo. He wants a revolution of vanguards. It’s always a mistake when Christians are called upon to cry “Revolution.” The cry of Believers should be "Reformation", not revolution. In Scripture, we aren't called to change…

    more
  35. Tim Keller is a Cultural Marxist and He Doesn't Even Care if You Know That!

    Tim Keller, in his three books, Reason for God, Generous Justice and Every Good Endeavor, markets Marxism as Democratic Socialism. Democratic Socialism rests on certain values. Values that we as Christians understand and often embrace: caring for the poor, feeding the hungry, helping the…

  36. The Deadly Costs of Transgenderism

    There’s a lot of chatter these days about transgenderism. In Frankenstein, the mutilating Dr. Frankenstein muses, “Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.” Society and our culture have only one narrative: gender is a choice and it is malleable. But truth, science…

    more
  37. Spotting the Difference Between Truth and Sincerity

    Let’s face it, sincerity will never transform us or the world; sincerity will not save the world, but Truth and Truth alone will. Moving from just sincerity to sincerity based in Truth means seeking God with all of our hearts, souls, minds, and strength to know what is True and right and good;...

  38. The Enemy Within: MS-13 and The Truth Behind Illegal Immigration

    There’s a lot of talk these days about immigration, amnesty, DACA dreamers, and the Christian’s obligation to protect all life--not just the unborn. What should our response be to illegals in our country and the criminal element crossing into our nation unchecked? In this podcast, I hope to…

  39. Broken, Woken, and Thoroughly Radicalized: A Generation Looking for Meaning

    When did the role of the Church become making kids happy? Instead of that, we should have been teaching kids how to be holy. We've got an angry and misled generation on our hands filled with frustration caused by emptiness and longing...they have watched an empty and shallow Christianity that put...

  40. The Annihilation of Women's Sports

    How long will it take before dominance of transgender females outperform all female athletes and in the process wipe female competitors out of the race thus annihilating women’s sports? How athletically outstanding does the performance have to be before we stand up and say, “Hey! That’s not a girl.”

  41. A Shocking Solution!

    Sometimes God shows up in some very unexpected and unbelievable ways! If you want a transcript of today's podcast, go to terimccarthyblahblahblog.com Happy Valentine's Day everyone and hope you have a great weekend!

  42. Russell Moore and the SBC/ERLC

    There's more happening here than meets the eye. Please listen to how Russell Moore and the ERLC are undermining modern day evangelicalism.

  43. A Cross Between Madea and Corrie ten Boom

    Here's a little intro about me and the goals of this podcast. We have a few kinks to work out, but we're getting there. Thanks for listening, and please don't forget to subscribe! #TruthMatters

  44. Chariots Not So On Fire
