EPISODE 0186 | Joe Rogan, Jame Talarico and Progressive Christianity: Part 2
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0186
In this episode, Pastor Nate and Pastor Daniel go all in on part two of their response to the now-infamous Joe Rogan interview with Texas Rep. James Talarico. From twisting the words of Jesus to rewriting church history, Talarico presents a version of Christianity that’s more cultural than biblical—and the pastors aren’t letting it slide. They break down the lies behind progressive talking points on abortion, sexuality, school choice, and Christian influence in culture. You’ll hear why affirming sin isn’t love, how “coexist” Christianity is failing a broken world, and what Scripture actually says about life, truth, and what it means to be human. This episode is bold, unapologetic, and exactly what believers need to cut through the noise and stand firm in the real Gospel.
Main Topics Covered:
✔️ The progressive distortion of “love your neighbor”
✔️ Debunking the myth that the Church was ever pro-abortion
✔️ Why affirming sin is not the same as loving someone
✔️ The truth about Christian nationalism and school choice
✔️ What it really means to be human—and why it matters now
Key Scriptures:
📖 Matthew 22:37–39 – Love God first, then love your neighbor
📖 Romans 1 – A warning about exchanging truth for lies
📖 Psalm 139:13–16 – God forms life in the womb
📖 Genesis 1:27 – We are made in God’s image
📖 Matthew 28:18–20 – The Great Commission: make disciples of all nations
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Loving someone doesn’t mean affirming every choice they make
🔹 You can’t detach Jesus from the Old Testament—He came to fulfill it
🔹 The Church has always stood for life—abortion is not a modern debate
🔹 Christian influence in culture isn’t coercion—it’s obedience to Christ
🔹 The real test of faith isn’t how “nice” you are—it’s whether you follow Jesus
🎧 Listen now and get the clarity and boldness you need to push back against cultural lies and live faithfully under God.
