Evan and Adam Ellwanger are joined by first-time guest Paul Fortunato to take a look at the Somali day care story taking the social media world by storm, whether demons can live in AI, and two stories of Islam and violence.
TBTP presents to you a Christmas present: a bonus episode from our live event in November on immigration. What should Christians think about immigration? Open or closed borders? Welcome the sojourner? Use the Old Testament Law to figure it out? Well, we offer background, multiple perspectives, and a panel discussion...just at a time when all your other podcasts are taking a holiday!
Does Christmas have pagan roots? Do other holidays? Should Christians incorporate modern cultural norms as our own, or be set apart? Did Christianity steal Christmas from Saturnalia? The Winter Solstice? Are Christmas trees actually Druid? And should Christians appropriate cultural ideals/norms/rhythms into our own practices or should be be set apart from the world? Whether it's how we celebrate the holidays, to what media we take in, how we spend our money, how we talk, or our views on sexuality, where is the line between being in the world, and of the world? This is a bonus podcast of a LIVE event. If you're in Houston, we'd love to see you in person! Remember to like and review the show! It really helps us grow our reach.

Remember to subscribe, review, like us...all the things!
Pastor Juan Carlos Martinez drops by to talk about a topic that hangs up a lot of folks as they explore Christianity: Hell. Is it eternal? Tortuous? Fair? We look at all of those questions and much more. Pr. Martinez' church is Woodlands Reformed Church, so if you are in that part of the world, check it out!
Corey Miller of Ratio Christi drops by to discuss his latest book and the need for higher education reform. We talk about the huge chasm between the Christian worldview and a Leftist worldview and how important it is to change the culture of college campuses.
Adam, Cody, and Evan sit down the day before Thanksgiving and have a lengthy conversation about what makes America unique, the major fissures in our culture and their origins, immigration vs. settlement, what we are thankful for, to whom we are thankful, and when a cult become a cult.

Part Three of our Apologetics 101 series looks at the problem of suffering. With special guest - and Sarah's dad! - Pr. Bob Garment.
Is Spiritual warfare real? Does Deliverance Ministry work? Is Satan actually trying to destroy us or is that a boogeyman we've created?We explore the realm of the devil and ask what's real, what's not, and how do these ideas affect our everyday lives. Our first speaker is Christian physicalist, Chris Henderson, who has a Masters degree in Theology, has taught Christian Apologetics for 20 years, and has been in ministry for 25 years as both a youth pastor and worship minister. Our second speaker is Jim Stern, who has served on the front lines of the Kingdom, whether in lead pastor or para-church ministry, for 27 years. He started Trexo in 2013 to, in part, set people free to run God's race in the overflow of His love.Followed by our panel. SIDE NOTE...Our livestream went to two different channels so we have compiled both here. It's a long story involving us having to change our name a while back. Anyway, if you only saw the first part or the second part, here is the whole proverbial enchilada.
Sarah, Max, and Evan discuss a slew of headlines, including the bizarre industry of making jewelry out of embryonic remains, two issues that make the Catholic Church look closer to compromising on LGBT issues, whether America will have a Civil War soon, and whether AI spouses are a good idea.
Apologist Taylor Neill (neillology.com) joins Sarah and Evan to look at whether or not the Bible is reliable. From the manuscripts themselves to the actual content of the Bible, do we have what the original authors wrote? And did they write true things?
Mace, Cody, and Evan look at the ethics of the government shutdown and how to "remember the Alamo." The shutdown is cutting into EBT distributions which is leading some to threaten violence and theft as a result. Healthcare is also apparently on the chopping block. Are we facing a violent and dangerous future? We also look at the Alamo "myth" and how it should be taught in schools.
Evangelist John Hopper joins Sarah and Evan to look at whether following Jesus is worth it. We consider Jesus' teaching, Lordship, and example as we try to reach those who maybe like Jesus, but have not yet given their lives to him.
New friend Adam Ellwanger joins Sarah and Evan for a spicy episode of White Pill Radio. We look at Trump's recent comments on going to heaven, Salon talk vs. saloon talk, the Vatical rolling out the prayer carpets for Muslims, and a man accused of murder running for sheriff.
Dr. Owen Anderson, Philosophy professor at Arizona State University, joins Sarah and Evan to look at the history and present state of fascism. (If it even still exists today.) What is fascism? Who's a fascist? As the campus faculty representative for Turning Point USA, Dr. Anderson knows the importance of this question. Thanks to him for joining us!
Oscar, Sarah, and Evan look at some weak-sauce comments by the pope on the pro-life position, several Charlie Kirk articles including whether witchcraft works and a pastor who says Charlie was "unChristlike," and an article by Evan on Substack about ways to limit Muslim influence...if that is a thing the West ever wants to do.
Alex Kocman joins Sarah and Evan to look at the need for masculinity in the church, including foreign missions. We also look at what the Church's response to immigration should be. You can learn all about Alex here: https://alexkocman.com/.
A scientist-turned author explores the intrigue and horrors of the Jewish-Roman war, the life of Josephus, and the implications for Israel and the church.
Sarah and Evan talk about the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk, the divide between the left and right, and the murder in Charlotte, NC. Where do we go from here?
Pr. LeMae Higgs joins Evan for an insider's look at South Africa. Pr. Higgs lived and worked in South Africa for 11 years during an interesting and tumultuous period. We look at the history of the nation, colonization, Apartheid, tribalism, and Nelson Mandela. If you have ever wondered what this complicated nation is like, this is an excellent primer!
