| Race, Culture, and the Christian Nation | Pt. 2 | 22 Oct 2026 | 00:34:31 | |
In Part 2, Pastor Joel Webbon, Wesley Todd, and Antonio Griffith go on offense. They argue that a Christianity which only changes the afterlife and never a people’s culture, health, or civilization isn’t humility. It’s Gnosticism. This series is drawn from Pastor Joel’s brand-new book, White Genocide, published with NXR. 🙏 Support Right Response Ministries: tax-deductible gifts at rightresponseministries.com/donate | |||
| The Bible Shows That Race Exists & We'll Prove It | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:30:07 | |
Is race just a social construct, or a biblical category? In Part 1 of this series, Pastor Joel Webbon, Wesley Todd, and Antonio Griffith open Genesis 10 and the Table of Nations. They argue that race has both a biological and a spiritual dimension, and that this is a view Christians held for centuries until very recently. In this episode: Romans 9 and Paul’s “kinsmen according to the flesh”: what it means for how Christians see their own ancestry This episode is drawn from Pastor Joel’s brand-new book, White Genocide, published with NXR. | |||

Shane Gillis said what everyone at the gym already knows, and the internet lost its mind. We break down the SNL joke that has everyone talking. Then we go further: why male spaces keep disappearing, how co-ed everything got us here, what the Cornell case says about consent without a framework, and why chivalry has no female equivalent.

| Pietism Is Deadly | Here's What You Need Instead | 13 Oct 2026 | 00:35:35 | |
One of our favorite episodes from the archive. If you’re new, or skipped this one the first time, start here. Piety is devotion bounded by duty. Pietism is holiness used as an excuse to abandon your post. From the Thirty Years’ War to Piper to Radical, we break down how evangelicals turned faith inward, and why men returning to ambition can’t leave piety behind. | |||
| Christianity: The Bloody Religion | 08 Oct 2026 | 00:25:54 | |
Every covenant is sealed in blood, from Eden to Abraham to Calvary. Why has Christianity been the bloody religion for six millennia, and why is that the best news in the world? Shadows, substance, and the only sacrifice that was ever enough. | |||
| Pick A Lane Jews: Zionism Or Exploiting The Goy | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:32:57 | |
Jeremy Boreing says critics of Israel want to eradicate Jews. We say: name one. We respond to Boreing's latest episode, call out the "have your cake and eat it too" problem with modern Zionism, and argue that the real debate on the right is about American tax dollars and equal standards, not erasing anyone. | |||
| Simps Will Go To Hell | Proverbs 31:3 | 01 Oct 2026 | 00:35:03 | |
"Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings." (Proverbs 31:3) You can have courage, gravitas, intellect, and strength, and still fail as a man if you hand it all over for a woman's approval. This week we define the simp biblically: a man who trades his judgment, strength, and duty for female approval, driven by fear of her displeasure. From Adam to Samson to Ahab, Scripture is full of strong men undone by weakness toward a woman. We cover the line between a wife's counsel and a wife's dictation, how unchecked lust makes men pliable, the "shadow elders" quietly running complementarian churches, and why the moment calls for spiritual eunuchs: men whose strength is narrowed by self-mastery into a force that can't be worn down. | |||
| Actions Rewire Belief (Killing Sin Pt. 2) | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:35:15 | |
Beliefs drive behavior, but behavior can reshape belief. In Part 2 on the root of sin, we explain how discipline, context, and four truths about God (great, good, glorious, gracious) cut sin off at the root. | |||
| Why You Keep Sinning Even When You Hate It (Pt. 1) | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:26:40 | |
Where does sin actually start? Not with your actions, and not even with your words. In this episode, Joel, Wesley, and Antonio trace sin down to its root, through James 1: beliefs shape desires, desires shape thoughts, and thoughts shape what you say and do. If you're only fighting sin at the surface, you'll lose. Real sanctification isn't white-knuckling. It's mortification, and it starts with what you believe. Part 1 of 2. | |||
| Why Women Are Weaker | Debate Review Pt. 2 | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:46:22 | |
Why Women Are Weaker | Debate Review Pt. 2 Is physical strength really the only difference between men and women? Joel Webbon revisits his debate with Andrew Wilson and makes the case from 1 Timothy 2, Genesis 3, and 1 Peter 3. The conversation covers the "cult of Artemis" argument, why the curse is feminism rather than patriarchy, and what "weaker vessel" actually means. | |||

| The Connection of Christian Nationalism To The Salvation Of Your Kids | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:24:20 | |
The episode opens with Ephesians 6:1–4 and presents four priorities for “keeping” children in the faith: pray for God to save them because salvation is ultimately God’s work; raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord while treating them as “pre-Christian” rather than heathen; provide not only the gospel but also tangible, earthly incentives and an inheritance by being courageous, principled, and materially fruitful; and pursue a Christian society through Christian nationalism, arguing that a broadly Christian culture historically makes it easier for children to remain Christian. The hosts criticize approaches that restrict children from Christian language like “Our Father,” contrast examples involving Doug Wilson and John Piper’s children, cite Psalm themes of prosperity for the righteous, discuss inheritance as biblically and historically normal, and emphasize modeling courage and resilience for sons. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* | |||
| Raising Sons In A Feminized World | 09 Sep 2026 | 00:35:24 | |
In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts argue Christians must avoid both retreatism and becoming indistinguishable from the world, aiming instead to stand near “kings” with skill and influence while refusing defilement. They discuss practical parenting aims: rules alone don’t produce courage; teach children the competing worldview; prepare them for moments of pressure through questions and role modeling; give them opportunities to practice courage; and consistently model conviction across contexts. The conversation also highlights how tyranny often arrives via universal, “temporary” edicts driven by wicked counselors, and stresses that borrowed convictions collapse while fear of rejection commonly drives compromise. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com | |||
| "Right Wing" Women Aren't Born, They're Made (Get The Girl Pt. 2) | 03 Sep 2026 | 00:38:36 | |
In part two of a marriage series on the Right Response Ministries podcast, the hosts address Christian men on how to find a wife, arguing men should lower unrealistic standards about politics and detailed theology and instead prioritize a woman who loves the Lord, fits broad orthodox Christian doctrine, is attractive, shows fruit of the Spirit, and is submissive and receptive—especially evidenced by being able to say, “I was wrong.” *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* | |||

| The Last Prophet's Warning: Malachi and the Fall of the Temple | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:23:03 | |
This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast walks through Malachi chapter 4 as God’s final Old Testament word, framing Malachi as a covenant “courtroom” where God charges Israel with doubting His love, dishonoring Him in worship, covenant treachery in marriage, withholding tithes, and arrogant speech. The hosts connect Malachi’s promised “day” of refining fire—judgment on the wicked and vindication for those who fear God’s name—to Jesus’ ministry and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, including the temple’s destruction “not one stone upon another,” and note how Christians fled when the Roman armies withdrew. They discuss Jesus as the true Israel and present Reformed “fulfillment theology,” concluding with a warning for the modern church to endure God’s refining and a request for listener donations. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||

| Can You Call a Catholic a Christian? Calvin Did. (with J.D. Hall) | 30 Jul 2026 | 00:32:31 | |
In part two of a discussion with Jordan “J.D.” Hall, the hosts continue addressing accusations of ecumenical compromise around the upcoming NXR “Christ is King” conference, asking where common ground ends and theological compromise begins. They debate how the word “Christian” should be used, arguing it can describe those who affirm core creedal claims about Jesus without asserting certainty about individual regeneration, citing Acts 11:26 and examples from Calvin, Luther, and Spurgeon. They contend critics equate “Christian” with personal conversion due to imprecise evangelical language, and they criticize reformed pietism for valuing small influence as proof of purity while a “counter-reformation” draws evangelicals toward Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The episode explains a strategy: NXR targets broad culture and politics under Christ’s kingship while Right Response provides deeper theological resources. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| Why Christians Attack Their Allies and Ignore Their Enemies (with J.D. Hall) | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:46:49 | |
On the Right Response Ministries podcast, Joel Webbon talks with Jordan Hall about the vision for the NXR conference “Christ is King: America After Trump” and the public criticism that it is “too ecumenical.” Hall argues critics misuse the term ecumenism, contrasting ecclesiastical councils and doctrinal statements like the Antioch Declaration with NXR’s aim of discussing cultural issues without making church decisions. They compare NXR’s speaker standards with TPUSA and TPUSA Faith, noting examples like Doug Wilson’s remarks at a TPUSA event and TPUSA Faith hosting atheist James Lindsay, while NXR requires speakers to affirm core creedal claims about Jesus. They also discuss selective outrage, online incentives to attack Webbon, objections to naming Christ, and NXR’s refusal to platform women to instruct men. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||

| Joel Webbon: I’m a Liberal and So Are You – The Sin We All Must Repent Of | 14 Jul 2026 | 00:48:07 | |
Right Response Ministries opens with Judges 21:25 and argues that Western civilization—built on Greek philosophical inquiry, Roman law and statecraft, and centrally Christianity as the coherent foundation and telos—is now dead, having been supplanted by a “new religion.” The hosts trace early challenges through nominalism (William of Ockham) and the Enlightenment’s elevation of autonomous human reason, citing the French Revolution’s “worship service to human reason” at Notre Dame and later liberal theology’s rationalizing of Christian claims. They contend post–World War II statism and the sexual revolution further replaced Christian presuppositions, with egalitarianism as liberalism’s driving engine. Joel Webbon describes combating “personal liberalism” through a schooling decision, criticizing coeducation as practical egalitarianism. They call Christians to honest assessment without despair, framing the task as rebuilding after destruction (Ezra and Nehemiah), not merely defending, and encouraging institutional rebuilding with Christian hope. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:**Genesis Gold Group*Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles.https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com*Backwards Planning Financial*Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

| How Do I Leave My Gay PCA Church? | 2 Timothy 2:2 | 02 Jul 2026 | 00:36:11 | |
Right Response Ministries continues its discussion of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), distinguishing it from the PCUSA while arguing the PCA is on the same liberalizing trajectory, driven by egalitarianism, and is in “dire straits.” After two “scorched earth” episodes, this installment shifts from critique to pastoral counsel: Christians must be committed to a local visible church and cannot simply opt out. The hosts present three options for those with Presbyterian convictions but limited local choices: leave for a better church if one exists within a reasonable distance, leave and start a church if biblically qualified and called, or, for some, stay—even in a compromised congregation—based on prudence, context, and counsel from mature believers. They stress nuance, self-assessment, and seeking wisdom, then conclude with support and donation appeals. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| Is Joel's New Conference Too Ecumenical? | Luke 9:49-50 | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:35:10 | |
The episode responds to criticism that NXR Studios’ upcoming “Christ Is King: America After Trump” 2026 conference promotes forbidden ecumenicalism, arguing the charge misunderstands categorical distinctions between Covenant Bible Church (word, sacrament, regulative worship), Right Response Ministries (a Christian 501(c)(3) ministry focused on public theology), and NXR Studios (a for-profit Christian political/cultural organization). The host explains NXR exists because Right Response became increasingly political in 2024–2025 and needed to remain theologically focused while a separate entity handled overtly political work. For the NXR conference, speaker standards are limited to being male and a professing Christian who affirms core claims about Christ consistent with the Apostles’ Creed; this is presented as permissible co-belligerency rather than church-level unity, and as a narrower coalition than major conservative conferences that platform non-Christians. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| Want To Suppress False Worship? Here's the (American) Way to Do It | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:33:08 | |
In part two of a series on the civil magistrate’s duty under God to promote true religion, the speakers move from theological principles to practical tactics for the U.S. in 2026. They argue that while separation of church and state may be permissible, separating Christ from the state is not, and they outline realistic approaches short of amending the Constitution, such as using party “soft power” to influence who appears on Republican ballots. They propose narrowing legal definitions and eligibility for 501(c)(3) and church status to remove tax and property-tax exemptions from progressive churches, forcing financially weak congregations to sell properties. They contend evangelism alone will not eliminate liberal churches and advocate both conversion and civil coercion, encouraging young men to engage procedural local politics, PACs, and party platforms while remaining “innocent as doves” and “shrewd as serpents,” including using 501(c)(3) advantages. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| The Reformation, The State, & The Church | Pt. 1 | 2 Kings 23:5-9 | 23 Jun 2026 | 00:36:56 | |
In part one of a two-part podcast on church and state, the hosts argue from 2 Kings 23:5–9 and Reformed political thought that the civil magistrate has a duty to promote true religion and suppress public blasphemy and idolatry, while remaining limited to outward matters and not usurping preaching, sacraments, or church keys. Using categories of principle versus prudential application (genus/species), they cite Reformed Christian Politics and figures and confessions including Turretin, Calvin, the pre-1778 Westminster Confession, the Belgic Confession, and Steven Wolfe to show this duty is historically Reformed. They distinguish separation of church and state from separation of Christ and state, reject ecclesiocracy while affirming God above the state, and preview applying these ideas to America, noting radical measures as theoretically permissible but presently impractical. *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| A Survey Just Exposed What the PCA Really Believes - The PCA Report on Christian Nationalism Pt. 2 | 18 Jun 2026 | 00:39:29 | |
The episode continues a two-part critique of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) position paper, pastoral letter, and “affirmations and denials” on Christian nationalism, arguing the denomination is compromising Scripture on sexuality, civic life, and male leadership. The hosts cite a Religious Landscape Study survey claiming PCA members’ support for same-sex marriage rose from 40% in 2014 to 53% “strongly favor” in 2023–2024, and connect this to the PCA’s rejection of Christian nationalism. They analyze PCA statements on race, ethnicity, “political legitimacy,” kinism, and the ordo amoris, claiming the document misuses passages like Galatians 3 and Romans 2 and effectively condemns biblical and historical notions of lineage, nationhood, and Paul’s love for his “kinsmen according to the flesh” in Romans 9. They argue the PCA rejects nature in a Gnostic way and urge listeners to leave the denomination before the next General Assembly makes the document binding. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| "Satan Himself Could Have Written This Letter" - The PCA Report on Christian Nationalism Pt. 1 | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:39:42 | |
The episode opens with Romans 9:1–5 and argues that Satan undermines the church through persecution, doctrinal compromise, and subtle tactics like disqualification and new “heresies.” The hosts recount Presbyterian denominational history leading to the PCA’s formation in 1973 and contrast it with the PCUSA’s decline after affirming women’s ordination and homosexual unions. They then discuss the PCA’s ad interim report on Christian nationalism, reading its pastoral letter and selected “affirmations and denials” on civic engagement, speech, antisemitism/race realism/kinism, ordered loves, ethnicity, and men and women. The hosts condemn the document as intentionally ambiguous, a straw man used to target figures like Joel Webbon, criticize its stance on women in civic leadership as contrary to Calvin and Knox, warn it could be used in ordination processes, urge leaving compromised denominations, and promote sponsors, donations, and an upcoming part two. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| Cultivating the New Elite | Psalm 18:32-34 | 11 Jun 2026 | 00:50:33 | |
This Right Response Ministries podcast episode opens with Psalm 18:31–34 and argues for Christian excellence and forming “renaissance men” who are not only faithful husbands and fathers but top-tier builders, leaders, and experts in their vocations. The hosts reject egalitarianism and raw populism, emphasizing hierarchy, leadership, and the need for a capable Christian elite able to apply timeless biblical principles to modern realities like AI, globalism, and digital life. They critique modern hyper-specialization, industrialization, universities, and internet spectator culture, contrasting a holistic historical model of excellence with today’s narrow definition. The discussion highlights piety, intellect, physical discipline, craftsmanship, family leadership, aesthetics, social grace, curiosity, and gravitas, with examples including George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Tucker Carlson, and King David,. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| The Effeminate Will Not Inherit The Kingdom Of Heaven | 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 | 09 Jun 2026 | 00:41:25 | |
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| That Time Jesus Talked About Receiving Lands, Wealth, & Family For Faithfulness | Matthew 19:23-30 | 04 Jun 2026 | 00:36:57 | |
This episode of The Right Response Ministry podcast examines Matthew 19:23–30 in its immediate context of the rich young ruler, explaining that Jesus’ warning is not a blanket condemnation of wealth but an exposure of the unique temptations attached to earthly abundance. The hosts discuss how riches can foster self-sufficiency and idolatry—either trusting wealth for security or treasuring it for joy—while noting that the same heart-sin can attach to health, reputation, power, or religious privilege. They contrast biblical warnings against the love and desire for money with passages that speak positively of wealth as God’s providential blessing, rejecting both prosperity-gospel guarantees and a “poverty gospel” that demonizes riches. Finally, they emphasize both the cost and the reward of discipleship, including God’s provision in this life, spiritual blessings, fellowship, and ultimately eternal life, with persecutions. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| Zachary Garris Defrocked By The Presbyterian Church...For Believing The Bible | Ezekiel 34:1-7 | 02 Jun 2026 | 00:40:10 | |
This episode of the Right Response Ministries Podcast opens with Ezekiel 34:1–7 and applies its warning to modern church leadership, focusing on the Rio Grande Presbytery (PCA) indefinitely suspending teaching elder Zachary Garris. The hosts discuss two charges: an accusation tied to his liking a tweet about slavery (dismissed) and a charge of “corrupt speech” based solely on two X replies to Dr. Anthony Bradley, which they argue were benign. They contend the presbytery is using the disciplinary process as punishment, especially in light of Garris’s writings (Masculine Christianity, Honor Thy Fathers, and Dabney on Fire) promoting patriarchal, anti-feminist themes and defending Christian forefathers. They argue such actions reveal broader denominational corruption, compare current church leaders unfavorably to Reformers’ rhetoric, and conclude by urging pastors and church planters to avoid joining denominations in the present climate. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* *Backwards Planning Financial* | |||
| Celibacy Is Exceedingly Rare & Singleness Is A Curse | Matthew 19:10-12 | 28 May 2026 | 00:51:01 | |
In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss Matthew 19:10–12 to argue that celibacy is a rare, sovereign gift from God and that lifelong singleness is a vocation only for those given that gift. They contrast “gift of celibacy” with “vocation of singleness,” insisting marriage is honorable and not spiritually inferior, rejecting the idea that celibacy is a higher tier of Christianity. They claim most men lack celibacy because lust and sexual desire reveal the absence of the gift, critique mandatory clerical celibacy (including Catholicism), and use Martin Luther as an example of misapplied celibacy ideals. Addressing a modern singleness epidemic, they urge most men to pursue marriage sooner rather than later, while offering a caveat that some men may need to delay marriage for elite institutional roles and must exercise extreme sexual self-control. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles.

| The Rebel Son and the True Son - Introduction to Biblical Typology | 2 Samuel 18:9-15 | 26 May 2026 | 00:37:29 | |
This Right Response Ministries podcast episode reads 2 Samuel 18:9–15 and uses Absalom’s rebellion and death as an example of Old Testament typology, contrasting Absalom as an anti-type with Jesus as the obedient Son of David who is “hung on a tree” and pierced, not for His own sins but for His people. The hosts argue typology is a powerful apologetic for Christianity against Islam and Judaism, since it is grounded in real historical events rather than allegory, and it highlights the internal consistency and “majesty” of Scripture. They also discuss broader patterns such as Jesus as the true and better Israel, reenacting Israel’s story in His life and succeeding where Israel failed, and they clarify that the church is Israel by union with Christ, comprising both Jew and Gentile who believe in Jesus. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com Backwards Planning Financial Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

| Gold Built The West | Leviticus 19:35-36 | 21 May 2026 | 00:36:20 | |
This episode opens with Leviticus 19:35–36 on honest weights and measures and applies the biblical idea of justice to money, commerce, and economic life. The hosts connect classical Christian thought (including Thomas Aquinas) to the moral question of debased currency, arguing that fiat money’s ongoing devaluation creates unequal exchange over time. Guest Bill Armor discusses why gold has historically functioned as “sound money,” pointing to its scarcity, density, durability, and biblical significance, and contrasts gold’s finiteness with governments’ ability to expand money supply and debt. The conversation traces how stable high-purity gold coinage supported trade and trust across Christendom, notes historical cycles of currency debasement (including Rome), and discusses declining global confidence in the U.S. dollar alongside increased national gold buying. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to gain knowledge and consider portfolio diversification and qualified retirement rollovers into physical precious metals. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles.

| You're Not Called To Pastor (Unless This Is True) | 1 Timothy 4:11-16 | 19 May 2026 | 00:31:57 | |
Using 1 Timothy 4:11–16 and the elder qualifications of 1 Timothy 3, this episode explains pastoral calling and ordination by outlining the key requirements for ministry. Pastor Joel argues that the first qualification is calling—an inward desire to be an elder—followed by character and competency, especially being “apt to teach” so others profit from Scripture. He distinguishes true calling from a culturally assumed desire for ministry and stresses that inward desire must be tested by an outward call: a meaningful body of spiritually mature believers who actually want a man to pastor them. The conversation also notes that not all qualified men should become elders, that hierarchy and “first among equals” matter, and that compatibility with a church’s specific context affects who should fill the pulpit. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles.

The episode opens with Psalm 139:13–17. They discuss traducianism—the view that a child’s soul is generated through parents rather than created ex nihilo at conception—using Freud vs. Jung to frame individualism versus shared, inherited realities, and drawing on examples from Tolkien, “blood,” and spiritual “longings.” They contrast creationism of the soul with traducianism and a generational “third way,” citing Tertullian, Gregory of Nyssa, and Jerome, and argue traducianism better accounts for original sin, federal headship, and Christ’s sinlessness, while defending God from being seen as creating a sinful soul. They address objections about the soul’s immateriality with a fire/flame analogy, connect the discussion to race realism as “families of the earth,” and claim the view aligns with young-earth creationism and adaptation “according to kinds,” with implications for civic policy and Christian stewardship across generations. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles.

| AI Will Force Conservatives To Be Socialists | Genesis 2:15 | 12 May 2026 | 01:17:43 | |
On this episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast, the hosts discuss AI’s rapid advance and the likelihood that it will automate a massive share of both knowledge work and manual labor, arguing this isn’t comparable to past innovations like the cotton gin because AI can be embodied in robots that outperform humans in productivity, speed, and safety. They contend this shift will collapse familiar political and economic binaries (capitalism vs. socialism, small vs. big government) as large portions of willing workers become unemployable, forcing societies toward some form of redistribution and state-managed labor to preserve human purpose and dignity. They argue governments, with their coercive taxing power, will become the primary consumers and regulators in an AI arms-race world, and they call for Christians to think theologically about work, pursue wisdom, and place righteous men in government to restrain tech elites and guide policy—framing it as “Christian nationalism or bust.” *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles.

| Christianity Is OBJECTIVE | Romans 10:9-10 | 30 Apr 2026 | 00:41:58 | |
This episode uses Romans 10:9–10 and 1 John 1:7–9 to address why many Christians struggle with assurance of salvation, arguing that Christianity is objective and not grounded in fluctuating feelings. The hosts contrast Protestant introspection and “navel-gazing” with Rome’s overly mechanical objectivity, noting pitfalls on both sides, and discuss how modern psychologizing has separated emotions from obedient action. They emphasize that God gives objective helps—confession of sin, confession of faith (agreeing with God’s word), the church’s covenant renewal worship, and the Lord’s Supper as a real means of grace—to bolster faith without reducing salvation to ritual. Faith remains necessary, but believers can rest in God’s faithful and just promise to forgive and cleanse those who confess, and take confidence in wanting Christ and continuing in obedience. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com Backwards Planning Financial Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

| Why Serious Men Don’t Drink Much | Psalm 104:13-15 | 28 Apr 2026 | 00:42:05 | |
In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss what Scripture teaches about alcohol, emphasizing that the Bible condemns drunkenness while also presenting wine as a blessing tied to celebration and reward. They survey biblical warnings—especially for leaders and specific offices (kings, priests, elders, and older women)—and contrast these with passages that permit and even commend wine in certain contexts. They connect this to modern trends showing Americans and Europeans drinking less, suggesting cultural shifts such as reduced reasons to celebrate, sedentary work, health concerns, and diminished profitability. The conversation critiques both legalism that labels all drinking as sin and a consumerist “bourbon-and-cigars” identity, arguing for spiritual maturity: recognizing what is permissible while applying prudence, moderation, and honest self-assessment about duty, productivity, ambition, and the purpose behind drinking. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group On Ruling Backwards Planning Financial | |||
