The Based Podcast

FORNICATION

Fornication is one of those old timey words that needs to make a comeback to our modern parlance. Our culture is absolutely drunk on the proliferation of fornication. It's in our marketing, our movies and tv shows, all over our phones through social media and so-called "news". Selling illicit sex is a hugely profitable business, and everyone is susceptible to the temptation to indulge.  In this discussion Chris & Pastor Randy discuss the many ways that Satan has normalized fornication in society, and what individually we can do to combat it.

Be still? Be silent?

Season 2 kicks off with the 1st in our series of LAYMAN vs. PASTOR, in which I interrogate a pastor for clarification on some of the issues of our modern times that confound us. This episode revolves around a devotional email that Pastor Randy Anderson (1st E Free Sioux Falls) recently sent out centered on Psalm 4:4 - "Be angry and do not sin: ponder in your own hearts in your own beds, and be silent. Selah" Seems simple, but does this mean that we are not to engage in the Culture Wars, or confront evil?

Pathetic Propaganda

In this episode, we celebrate a local pastor for his fearless stance on preaching the entire bible to his congregation. One issue we discuss is his recent sermon on the “Pathetic Propaganda” used by the wicked to distort and weaken the sovereignty of Jesus, both during His time and now. We also touch on some churches falling prey to the “affirmation” cult and Theological Minimalism as a means to fill pews. GUEST Pastor Randy Anderson [https://www.linkedin.com/in/randy-anderson-72587834/] “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” —Romans 12:2

Campus Preacher

God made men to be lions, not love bunnies. The Campus Preacher [https://www.campuspreacher.com] is a living example of what it means to be a lion; as he travels the country preaching the Word of God, Based on the entire bible, to what must surely be the most hostile environment in modern America - the college campus.  As we’ve stated in earlier shows, “kids are dumb”, and this hate-fact is truer than ever as modern college-age young adults have turbo-charged their lack of wisdom with an overdose of worthless and false data seasoned with regime-approved propaganda. Guest: Keith Darrell [https://www.campuspreacher.com] “Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.” —2 Corinthians 2:17

Re-Based

Most believers know that our culture has become grossly "debased". How do we get "re-based"? Here we discuss the importance of Based Storytelling. For the most part, Christians have abandoned the field of storytelling in our modern times. But the Creator of the Universe, whom we serve, is the author of EVERY story; and of course Jesus was the most effective story (parable) teller of all time. One nugget from this discussion is that every story seems to contain the same three components that we all battle in our lives: World - Flesh - Devil. GUEST: Jason Farley [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonfarleys/] "Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe...” —Psalms 107:2
