Live Free with Josh Howerton

In this LIVE FREE bonus episode, Pastor Josh Howerton reacts to a viral Tucker Carlson clip addressing President Donald Trump, Islam, and Christianity—and it opens up a much bigger conversation than politics.

This episode dives into how Christians should think biblically in a culture full of noise, strong opinions, and spiritual confusion. What happens when faith, politics, and culture collide? Should Christians mock other religions? And how do you stay grounded when influential voices start blurring truth?

More than a reaction, this is a call to discernment—learning to use the Bible as both a mirror (to examine yourself) and a lens (to interpret the world).

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to think biblically about culture, politics, and viral moments

The difference between being a “Christian who’s conservative” vs. a “conservative who’s Christian”

What the Bible actually says about mocking false religion

Why not all “faith” is equal—and why the object of your faith matters

How to evaluate influential voices without being deceived
