Ep 1154 | Ex-New Ager Reveals Cults’ Secret Invasion of the Church | Guest: Melissa Dougherty
Today, we're sitting down with apologist and author Melissa Dougherty to discuss her new book, "Happy Lies: How a Movement You (Probably) Never Heard Of Shaped Our Self-Obsessed World," and how the New Thought movement has infiltrated the church. She tells us about her upbringing in New Thought and shares her testimony of how she was born again. She explains the difference between New Age and New Thought and how she escaped her New Age thinking. We talk the prosperity gospel, manifestation, and the word of faith movement and leave no stone unturned when it comes to New Thought ideas.

Ep 1153 | The Men on 'Love Is Blind' Need to Stop Compromising
In today's episode, we're discussing the recent season finale of the Netflix reality dating show "Love Is Blind" and the two women who left their fiancés at the altar over political differences! Really, the men should have noticed the red flags sooner, but at least they dodged those bullets at the last minute. We also break down some more bad theology from the creators of the 2022 documentary "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture," thanks to the promotion of the recent web series. We debunk the creators' claims about the Bible's condemnation of homosexuality and the LGBT community stemming from a translation error, and we go back to scripture to remember how God defines marriage and what our standard ought to be.

Ep 1152 | The Reason Christianity's Decline Is Slowing Down
Today, we're discussing a recent Pew Research study showing that the decline of Christianity seems to have leveled out and has even reversed in some demographics. We also talk about the media's portrayal of a young girl's tragic suicide, leveraging it to fit the leftist narrative about illegal immigration. In reality, it appears there was something much worse going on. And did KJ Smith really say that black Americans should go back to Africa? We don't know which is more surprising — that or a recent viral clip from "White Lotus" that might actually be a little based.

Ep 1150 | My Timothée Chalamet Conspiracy Theory, Dems Sell Out Girls & Oscars Lowlights
In today's episode, we discuss the Senate's party-line rejection of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act and why Democrats effectively killed the bill before it even reached the floor. We also cover some pop culture updates because it's fun. After all, we need to know if Timothée Chalamet's recent rebrand to appear more masculine is working or if there's a deeper PR strategy involved. We also do a brief Oscars update, including Zoe Saldaña's win for "Emilia Perez" and "Anora" winning Best Picture for portraying prostitution. And of course, we review some of the worst red carpet looks that we've seen in a while.
