• E177: What Exorcists on YouTube Get Wrong w/Dr. Sean Tobin
    Jan 3 2025

    Exorcism interviews have recently exploded in popularity, racking up millions of views on YouTube and social media. But is this focus on demons and their influence on humans a healthy exploration—or could it be playing into Satan's plans, granting him undue attention and power while paralyzing us with fear and superstition?

    Today, I'm joined by Dr. Sean Tobin, a psychologist trusted by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to evaluate whether individuals should be referred to an exorcist. With years of experience working with those facing demonic oppression and possession, Dr. Tobin shares fresh perspectives on what God might be accomplishing in these situations and offers little-known approaches for dealing with stubborn cases.

    He also addresses a troubling trend: fear and powerlessness among Christians—something completely contrary to God’s design. Dr. Tobin reminds us of the need to reject both fear and demonic forces, reclaiming the Spirit of power, love, and self-control that God has given us (2 Timothy 1:7). His insights are sure to inspire and empower you in the spiritual battles we face.

  • E175: He Went Undercover And Exposed Planned Parenthood w/David Daleiden
    Dec 27 2024

    Join me for a conversation with my longtime friend and former investigative journalism colleague, David Daleiden. David is the mastermind behind the campaign that exposed Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of baby body parts. Posing as a biotech vendor, he captured explosive undercover footage of key figures at Planned Parenthood discussing partial-birth abortions and other practices designed to harvest intact tissue for research institutions willing to pay a premium. In our discussion, David opens up about his ongoing legal battles and we explore the best strategies for advancing the pro-life movement, especially in light of recent election results and new appointees. This conversation is essential for anyone who cares about the future of civil rights in our country—both for the unborn and those who boldly defend them.

  • E173: Vocations, Antisemitism, Content Creation w/ Trent Horn
    Dec 20 2024

    Is being anti-Israel the same as being anti-Semitic? What does it truly mean to be anti-Semitic, and why does this hatred continue to persist today? In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Trent Horn, Catholic apologist and host of the popular Council of Trent podcast, to explore these critical questions from a Christian perspective. We dive deep into the troubling rise of anti-Semitism and unpack the idea that “being based can send you to hell.” Trent also shares insights into the creative process behind his podcast, revealing how he selects topics that resonate with his audience. We also discuss his passion for mentoring the next generation in apologetics, Jiu-Jitsu, and more.

  • BONUS: Lily Phillips Was Made For More + More News
    Dec 18 2024

    OnlyFans star Lily Phillips shocked the world after sleeping with 100 men in 24 hours, breaking down in tears during an emotional interview about the crushing pain of the experience. For a brief moment, the internet caught a glimpse of the harsh reality behind promiscuity—but sadly, Lilly's wake-up call didn’t last long.

    In a related story, Crystal Mangum, who falsely accused Duke Lacrosse players of rape, has publicly admitted to lying and is now seeking forgiveness. Could our culture be reaching a breaking point as it relates to sexual ethics? How do we build a better culture?
