EPISODE 0303 | Culture Review: Leftist Violence, the SPLC Scandal, & Biblical Truth
THESE NOTES ACCOMPANY EPISODE 0303
This episode tackles a heavy but necessary conversation—how cultural lies, political rhetoric, and spiritual deception are shaping real-world violence. From a recent assassination attempt to media narratives, public policy debates, and cultural dishonesty, the conversation highlights how words aren’t neutral—they form belief, and belief drives action.
At its core, this episode is a call for clarity and courage. When truth is distorted, people lose their foundation—and when that happens, chaos follows. As Christians, we’re called to stand firm in truth, reject deception, and engage the culture with both conviction and integrity.
