When Truth is Unpopular, is There a Third Way?
We live in a time of deep cultural division. It is political and economic. It runs through fundamental issues like abortion. It runs through demographically, class and education. Ultimately, it is rooted in deep worldview beliefs: Objective truth vs. man-created “truth,” spin, and narrative creation. This divide is challenging and uncomfortable for many Christians, who want to be viewed as peacemakers, and not angry culture warriors. Increasingly, they speak in terms of “not this, or that” but “a third way.” Today, we explore the growing trend of “third-wayism.” Is it helpful, or does it lead us astray?

Hollywood, Discipleship, and Hatred
Join our conversation as we discuss how Christians can make a difference in the world of film by sharing powerful stories. Additionally, we will hear about a forthcoming documentary called, “I Hate You But It’s Killing Me,” which explores the intense grip that hate has on so many people and the only solution to it.
The Population Collapse and the Ideas Driving It
Today we look at rapidly declining fertility rates in places like China, South Korea, Russia, Europe and North America. What are the consequences of this decline personally, economically and culturally? What ideas are behind it and driving it? How do these ideas differ from the biblical worldview, where God’s first command to mankind is “be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth.” What are the lies that you and I have unintentionally absorbed that run counter to God’s first command and are holding us back from living the kind of life he desires for us?
Biblical Prosperity Without The Heresy
Prosperity and flourishing are part of God’s beautiful plan for His people, and his desire for nations. But trials, tribulations, and persecutions are also a reality in our fallen world. Today, we dive into what the Bible teaches about prosperity and flourishing—concepts many avoid for fear of being associated with the heretical “prosperity gospel.” We point out the critical lies of the prosperity gospel and contrast it with the flourishing God wants for all of us.
Christianity vs. Science
Is Christianity opposed to science, as we often hear from teachers, professors, and the scientific elite? Or are certain core biblical principles actually at the foundation of science? At its essence, science is a search for truth by means of a careful analysis of the physical universe, or what the Bible calls “the visible world.” The scientific method emerged and flourished within the soil of a Western culture deeply shaped by the Bible, and that was no accident.
From Celebrity Makeup to Disciple Maker
Jessica Shakir shares how God used unexpected circumstances to help her discover the source of lasting joy for her life. Leaving behind her work as a Hollywood makeup artist, Jessica founded The Beautiful Mind Academy. This online community teaches women how to think biblically, learning about God as the source for beauty, and helping them understand that they glorify him when they create things with beauty.
New Year’s Resolutions are Dead
Today on Ideas Have Consequences, we talk about how decreasing popularity of New Year’s Resolutions actually reveals how our culture thinks about success and victimhood.
Environmentalism, Transhumanism, and Your Life’s Worth (Part 2 of 2)
False worldviews can have devastating consequences on human life. Join us as we breakdown two prominent Western worldviews, Anthroprecence Anti-Humanism (extreme environmentalism) and Transhumanism and explore their implications.
The Birth of Christ & the Sanctity of Life (Part 1 of 2)
Christ’s birth implicates the immense worth of human life, which must change our thoughts and form our actions toward others. While our culture continues to move further from its Christian roots, how should we live and where can we find encouragement?
