Ep. 66 When Truth Is Hijacked: Antisemitism, False Teaching, and the Culture War

Something is shifting in our culture—and it’s happening fast. In this episode, we confront the growing wave of antisemitism emerging within today’s culture wars—and more concerning, how it’s beginning to creep into spaces that claim to be Christian. This isn’t just a political issue. It’s a theological one. We break down how unbelievers—and even compromised voices within the Church—are hijacking biblical language to push narratives that are not rooted in Scripture. What sounds like justice on the surface is often driven by confusion, emotion, and false teaching underneath. We also walk through what the Bible actually says about discernment, the works of the flesh, and the danger of following voices that produce division, outrage, and pride instead of truth. There is a real cost to embracing false teaching—and Scripture is clear about where that road leads. This episode is about clarity, conviction, and standing firm in truth when the culture—and even parts of the Church—begin to drift.

And don’t stop here—watch and listen to all episodes of Defining Truth as we continue to break down today’s biggest issues through a biblical worldview. Subscribe. Share.

Ep. 65 Iran, Global Conflict & The Christian Response

In this episode of Defining Truth, Josiah O’Neil breaks down the latest global developments surrounding Iran, rising geopolitical tensions, and the broader implications for the United States and its allies. But beyond the headlines, this conversation asks a deeper question: How should Christians think about war, government authority, and international conflict through a biblical worldview? In Episode 65, we discuss: • The current situation involving Iran and escalating global tensions • How governments justify military action and national defense • The role of Christians in times of war and geopolitical instability • What Scripture says about authority, justice, and the responsibility of nations • Why worldview matters when interpreting international events In an age of propaganda, ideological confusion, and endless media narratives, Christians must learn to evaluate world events through the lens of truth — not political tribes or emotional reactions. Defining Truth exists to help believers think clearly, biblically, and courageously about the issues shaping our world.

Ep. 64 Trump & Greenland, Minnesota Unrest, and Why Support Iranian Protests

In Episode 64 of Defining Truth, we break down the biggest headlines dominating the news cycle — from Trump’s controversial push around Greenland, to the growing unrest in Minnesota tied to federal immigration enforcement and protests, to the ongoing demonstrations in Iran and why conservatives should support them. We unpack the latest developments, offer a grounded conservative perspective, and bring clarity to complex issues where confusion and misinformation are rampant.

Ep. 63 Standing Against the Fringe: Israel, Truth, and the Fight for Christian Clarity

In Episode 63 of Defining Truth, we confront a rising problem inside the conservative world — not a civil war, but a loud fringe of conspiracy-driven voices attacking Israel, promoting antisemitic narratives, and rejecting biblical truth. We call it what it is: a demonic, age-old hatred of the Jewish people resurfacing through modern platforms and personalities. True Christians must stand against it. We unpack why support for Israel is not political hype but biblical reality, rooted in covenant history, moral obligation, and the Christian worldview. And we go deep into the question of truth itself — what absolute truth means, why it matters, and why abandoning truth opens the door to deception, chaos, and cultural collapse. This episode is a call to spiritual clarity in a moment of noise. We reject conspiracy culture, antisemitic obsession, and the new pagan mythologies rising in the West. And we remind listeners that truth is not fluid, not tribal, not subjective — it is anchored in Christ, in Scripture, and in reality. Defining Truth Episode 63 — standing with Israel, standing for truth, and calling the Church to courage in a culture of confusion.

Ep. 62 When Nations Collide: Venezuela Strikes, the Shutdown, and God’s Design for Government

In this episode, we unpack the breaking news surrounding U.S. strikes inside Venezuela and what this means for America’s role on the world stage. We also break down the recent government shutdown—its political fallout, financial impact, and what it reveals about leadership in crisis. Finally, we step back and ask the deeper question: What is the biblical role of government? Drawing on thinkers like Augustine and Aquinas, we examine how believers should view power, justice, and authority in today’s culture. ➡️ Listen, share, and follow @DefiningTruth for more conversations connecting faith, government, and truth.
