Send us Fan MailAfter growing up as a seventh-generation Mormon whose ancestor was a bodyguard of Joseph Smith, philosopher Dr. Corey Miller converted to Christianity, spent 12 years teaching at Indiana University, and discovered that the greatest threat to the Christian faith is not atheism — it is the university system that Christians themselves built and then abandoned to Marxist ideology! Dr. Corey Miller is a philosopher, theologian, and President/CEO of Ratio Christi — a campus apologetics and evangelism ministry operating on 100 university campuses. He holds a PhD in Philosophical Theology from the University of Aberdeen and four graduate degrees.

Send us Fan MailIn this Rise Up Kings Podcast episode, Coach Mondo sits down with Coach Jon Wood (“Switch”) and Pastor David for a deep, unfiltered conversation about Jesus, politics, masculinity, sexual ethics, prophetic words, and hearing God’s voice in a divided culture.This isn’t a surface-level debate.The discussion breaks down how Jesus’ announcement of the Kingdom of God was a direct challenge to Rome’s power, why modern political labels don’t fit a first-century Messiah, and how Jesus would likely be received today in conversations surrounding LGBTQ issues, cultural identity, and morality.The episode also unpacks:- Jesus’ teachings as nonviolent resistance, not passivity- Why “God told me” can become a spiritual manipulation tactic- How to discern a true word from God using Scripture, fruit, peace, and - maturity- Whether spiritual gifts can be developed or are only divinely assigned- The difference between meekness and weakness for strong Christian men- When force, self-defense, or protection may be morally justifiedThis conversation challenges both political sides because Jesus doesn’t fit modern categories. He confronts power, disrupts comfort, loves people without affirming sin, and calls men to strength under control.The episode closes with a sobering reminder from John 10:27:“My sheep hear My voice… the real question isn’t whether God is speaking — it’s whether you’re listening.”Chapters: 00:00:00 — Was Jesus conservative or liberal? Kingdom of God vs Caesar00:02:17 — A first-century Jew in 21st-century political categories00:03:18 — Social conservatism, fiscal generosity, and sexual ethics00:04:31 — “Turn the other cheek” as nonviolent resistance00:06:52 — How Jesus would be received today (LGBTQ + politics)00:10:16 — “I have a word from the Lord”: when to be cautious00:12:18 — Scripture as the filter: conviction vs condemnation00:14:23 — The fruit test: character, maturity, and relationship00:17:14 — Shocking real-life prophetic moments00:36:34 — How to hear God: Scripture, counsel, reason, tradition00:46:18 — Meekness vs weakness: the lion choosing restraint00:54:06 — Self-defense, force vs violence, and Christian ethicsFor more information on Rise Up Kings, go to https://riseupkings.com/youtube Not ready to do an in-person event?

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the thing you’ve built your whole identity on gets taken away?In this episode, we sit down with Mondoe Davis to unpack one of the deepest traps men fall into: tying identity to performance. From the NFL to entrepreneurship, Mondoe shares how success can become a prison when it’s fueled by a need to feel worthy, and what happens internally when the platform disappears.We talk about the hidden wounds behind high achievement, especially the father-son pain that quietly drives so many men to prove themselves through work, wins, money, or status. And we go deeper into what real freedom looks like: learning who you are apart from what you do, letting God re-root your identity, and stepping into a calling that’s bigger than performance.This conversation is a wake-up call for every man who feels pressure to “be enough,” for every entrepreneur chasing significance, and for every husband and father who wants to lead his family with vision instead of fear.In this episode, you’ll learn: - Why performance can never give you a stable identity- How success is often fueled by unresolved pain- What to do when your career, platform, or business shifts overnight- The difference between building for significance versus building for purpose- Why every family needs a clear vision, mission, and core values- How to lead from love, not from strivingIf you’ve ever felt like you had to earn love, earn respect, or earn your place, this one’s for you.For more information on Rise Up Kings, go to https://riseupkings.com/youtube  Not ready to do an in-person event?

Send us Fan MailIn this powerful, real-talk conversation, the guys unpack what actually makes a marriage thrive — especially when communication breaks down and intimacy feels hard. You’ll hear how different communication styles can create a downward spiral, and why the most emotionally mature person has to go first in forgiveness.They share honestly about pride, ego, and the temptation to love transactionally — treating your spouse like a vending machine instead of honoring God’s design for covenant love. You’ll learn why emotional intimacy has to come before physical intimacy, how to stay committed when your spouse isn’t responding yet, and why consistent love over the long game changes everything.The episode also dives deep into biblical leadership in marriage: husbands loving like Christ, taking responsibility for the “garden” of the relationship, refusing to live offended, and choosing meekness — strength under control. If you want a marriage that grows in peace, connection, and passion, this is a must-watch.For more information on Rise Up Kings, go to https://riseupkings.com/youtube  Not ready to do an in-person event?
