Sanctify Christ as Lord | Sanctify Christ as Lord in Spiritual Warfare

Episode 30 of the Sanctify Christ as Lord series is out now: “Sanctify Christ as Lord in Spiritual Warfare.” Spiritual warfare is one of the most misunderstood subjects in modern Christianity. Some ignore it altogether, while others become consumed by it. In this episode, we examine what the Bible actually teaches about the spiritual battle believers face and why spiritual warfare is ultimately a battle over truth, obedience, and lordship. The enemy’s greatest weapon is often not fear, but deception. That’s why believers must remain grounded in Scripture, vigilant in prayer, and rooted in Christ. Join me as we explore temptation, spiritual drift, the armor of God, the battle for the mind, and what it means to stand firm in a culture increasingly marked by confusion and compromise. #BoldApologia #SanctifyChristAsLord #ChristianPodcast #SpiritualWarfare #ArmorOfGod #JesusIsLord #ChristianLiving #Discipleship #Faith #Christianity #BiblicalTruth #BibleTeaching #Apologetics #StandFirm #ChristianContent #Podcast

Are Christians Overfed but Spiritually Undernourished? The Difference Between Knowing Scripture and Living It

In a world filled with endless sermons, podcasts, YouTube channels, audiobooks, devotionals, and Christian content, an important question emerges: Are believers growing spiritually—or simply consuming more information? In this episode, the team explores the difference between biblical knowledge and genuine transformation. They discuss how Christians today have unprecedented access to teaching from trusted voices, yet many still struggle with obedience, discipleship, and spiritual maturity. Is it possible to know a great deal about God without becoming more like Him? Join us as we examine the dangers of mistaking content consumption for spiritual growth, the importance of personal Bible study, and why true discipleship requires more than learning facts. If you've ever wondered whether your faith is moving from your head to your heart, this conversation is for you. Clarity in chaos. Bringing hope to a chaotic world. patreon.com/TheTruthResponse [http://patreon.com/TheTruthResponse] https://linktr.ee/thetruthresponse [https://linktr.ee/thetruthresponse] https://www.instagram.com/thetruthresponse/ [https://www.instagram.com/thetruthresponse/] https://www.facebook.com/thetruthresponse [https://www.facebook.com/thetruthresponse] https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-response/id1504362531 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-truth-response/id1504362531] https://open.spotify.com/show/6Kpkgsy7I7zVuv5UyiRACu?si=BqwQH988RW2DpLbYg5BnSA [https://open.spotify.com/show/6Kpkgsy7I7zVuv5UyiRACu?si=BqwQH988RW2DpLbYg5BnSA] DEREK'S RECOMMENDATIONS & INFLUENCES APOLOGISTS / SPEAKERS * Frank Turek — Derek's top recommendation and biggest influence in apologetics.

My Son and I Testify Against an Abortion Drug Law

On May 6th my son and I testified on the Colorado Senate floor (online) against HB26-1335 ("Concerning Access to Abortion Medication Services on Colorado College Campuses"). This law requires colleges and universities (without a religious exemption) to make abortion drugs available on campus to any student who asks for a prescription. I first cover Colorado abortion laws from 2022-2025 to show how we got to this point. Then, I play clips of our testimonies against the bill. Finally, I play a testimony from an unhinged guy in support of the bill.
