Beschrijving

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.

#91 - None Seek After God!?! Then Why Are We Talking About Evangelism?

Last episode, we explored the biblical truth that no one naturally seeks after God. But if that's true, then what does Jesus mean when He says that the Father draws people to Himself? In this episode, Jeff and George dive into one of the most important questions in theology and evangelism: How does God draw people? Is it through feelings, circumstances, conviction, Scripture, preaching, or something else entirely? Together they explore what the Bible teaches about the Holy Spirit's work in awakening spiritual desire, convicting hearts, and leading people toward Christ. They also discuss whether God's drawing can be resisted and why believers should remain focused on sharing the gospel rather than getting lost in theological extremes. If you've ever wondered how salvation begins, what God's drawing looks like in real life, or how this affects evangelism, this conversation is for you. Topics Covered: • What Jesus meant when He said the Father draws people • The difference between God's "wooing" and forcing • The role of the Holy Spirit in salvation • How God speaks through Scripture, preaching, and believers • Signs that God may be drawing someone • Can people resist God's drawing? • Why this matters for everyday evangelism The harvest is still plenteous, and the laborers are still few. Join us as we seek to understand God's work and our responsibility in reaching people with the gospel.

Didaché - Why Gabe Poirot Doesn't Want You To See This Video (And What He's Hiding)

In this episode, Justin Peters exposes the shifting story of Gabe Poirot, the latest "Heavenly Tourist." Compare Poirot’s recent dramatic claims of instantly leaving his body, viewing the accident scene, and spending 18 days in heaven against his own sermon six months post-accident, where he admitted having no memory and called the coma "a big nap." Peters connects Poirot to Word of Faith influences and documents the suspicious deletion of 616 YouTube videos, resulting in over 128 million lost views—timed with growing scrutiny. A call for biblical discernment over emotional stories and a loving appeal for Poirot’s repentance.
