Cultivating the New Elite | Psalm 18:32-34

This Right Response Ministries podcast episode opens with Psalm 18:31–34 and argues for Christian excellence and forming “renaissance men” who are not only faithful husbands and fathers but top-tier builders, leaders, and experts in their vocations. The hosts reject egalitarianism and raw populism, emphasizing hierarchy, leadership, and the need for a capable Christian elite able to apply timeless biblical principles to modern realities like AI, globalism, and digital life. They critique modern hyper-specialization, industrialization, universities, and internet spectator culture, contrasting a holistic historical model of excellence with today’s narrow definition. The discussion highlights piety, intellect, physical discipline, craftsmanship, family leadership, aesthetics, social grace, curiosity, and gravitas, with examples including George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Tucker Carlson, and King David,. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com [https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com] *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

The Effeminate Will Not Inherit The Kingdom Of Heaven | 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com [https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com] *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

That Time Jesus Talked About Receiving Lands, Wealth, & Family For Faithfulness | Matthew 19:23-30

This episode of The Right Response Ministry podcast examines Matthew 19:23–30 in its immediate context of the rich young ruler, explaining that Jesus’ warning is not a blanket condemnation of wealth but an exposure of the unique temptations attached to earthly abundance. The hosts discuss how riches can foster self-sufficiency and idolatry—either trusting wealth for security or treasuring it for joy—while noting that the same heart-sin can attach to health, reputation, power, or religious privilege. They contrast biblical warnings against the love and desire for money with passages that speak positively of wealth as God’s providential blessing, rejecting both prosperity-gospel guarantees and a “poverty gospel” that demonizes riches. Finally, they emphasize both the cost and the reward of discipleship, including God’s provision in this life, spiritual blessings, fellowship, and ultimately eternal life, with persecutions. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com [https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com] *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

Zachary Garris Defrocked By The Presbyterian Church...For Believing The Bible | Ezekiel 34:1-7

This episode of the Right Response Ministries Podcast opens with Ezekiel 34:1–7 and applies its warning to modern church leadership, focusing on the Rio Grande Presbytery (PCA) indefinitely suspending teaching elder Zachary Garris. The hosts discuss two charges: an accusation tied to his liking a tweet about slavery (dismissed) and a charge of “corrupt speech” based solely on two X replies to Dr. Anthony Bradley, which they argue were benign. They contend the presbytery is using the disciplinary process as punishment, especially in light of Garris’s writings (Masculine Christianity, Honor Thy Fathers, and Dabney on Fire) promoting patriarchal, anti-feminist themes and defending Christian forefathers. They argue such actions reveal broader denominational corruption, compare current church leaders unfavorably to Reformers’ rhetoric, and conclude by urging pastors and church planters to avoid joining denominations in the present climate. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com [https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com] *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

Celibacy Is Exceedingly Rare & Singleness Is A Curse | Matthew 19:10-12

In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss Matthew 19:10–12 to argue that celibacy is a rare, sovereign gift from God and that lifelong singleness is a vocation only for those given that gift. They contrast “gift of celibacy” with “vocation of singleness,” insisting marriage is honorable and not spiritually inferior, rejecting the idea that celibacy is a higher tier of Christianity. They claim most men lack celibacy because lust and sexual desire reveal the absence of the gift, critique mandatory clerical celibacy (including Catholicism), and use Martin Luther as an example of misapplied celibacy ideals. Addressing a modern singleness epidemic, they urge most men to pursue marriage sooner rather than later, while offering a caveat that some men may need to delay marriage for elite institutional roles and must exercise extreme sexual self-control. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com [https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com] Backwards Planning Financial Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?
