Sep 26, 2026 · 2:17

Sep 22, 2026 · 55:38
Tonight’s episode goes straight to the end of the modern road: **Existentialism the “new god” creating his own nature.** We start with **Marcel Duchamp**, who pushed the logic of…
Sep 22, 2026 · 36:06
Adiaphorism, the idea that some areas of life are morally “indifferent,” is not Biblical but a pagan import from Stoic and Cynic philosophy. Scripture teaches that all of…
Sep 21, 2026 · 3:35

Sep 20, 2026 · 3:19

Sep 20, 2026 · 5:43
One of the most subtle and dangerous paths to failure is the insistence on standing rigidly on one’s rights. It appears virtuous and morally upright, yet Scripture exposes it as…
Sep 20, 2026 · 1:05:34
The Lord's Table is life to us because it is death to the ungodly. Passover was a double witness to blood salvation for Israel, judgment on Egypt. The same lamb that spared the…
Sep 19, 2026 · 8:38

Sep 19, 2026 · 2:47

Daniel: The Unstoppable Blessing of God explores the force behind Daniel’s remarkable rise through three hostile administrations: not technique, connections, or personal…

Sep 17, 2026 · 50:26

Sep 6, 2026 · 46:02

Aug 29, 2026 · 52:32
If man established property rights, man can abolish them. "Thou shalt not steal" isn't a cultural preference it's God's decree. Property is His ordination, not the state's grant.…
Aug 28, 2026 · 2:24
