What is the Woke Right and Why is it Dangerous? (Ep 193)
Many people have heard about the Woke Left, but there is a trend toward "Wokeness" on the Right as well. Today we talk about what it looks like to be Woke Right and why it is problematic for the church. We must be vigilant as Christians not to be swayed into a worldview that does not correspond with the core tenets of the faith, whether that temptation comes from the Left or the Right of the political spectrum.Time Stamps: 00:00 Introduction 03:36 Defining Terms and Understanding History 12:01 Problems with Wokeism on the Left 24:27 The Rise of the Woke Right 50:52 Problems with the Woke Right (for Christians) 52:12 Problem 1: Emphasis on Group Identity 57:08 Problem 2: Overemphasis on Ethnicity 1:03:28 Problem 3: Unfounded Skepticism against Authority 1:08:34 Problem 4:Emphasizes Human Solutions to a Sin Problem 1:11:47 Why is it Important to talk about the Woke Right?If you have found the podcast helpful, consider leaving a review on Itunes or rating it on Spotify.

Why Jeff Durbin and Preterists are Wrong about "This Generation" in Matthew 24:34 (Ep 191)
In this episode, we look at why Jeff Durbin and other Preterists are incorrect in their interpretation of "This Generation" in Matthew 24:34. We explore the Olivet Discourse and its fulfillment beyond AD 70, challenging the Preterist view that Matthew 24:34 is definitive for placing the entirety of the Olivet Discourse in AD 70. We explore the presuppositional issues, the context of the Olivet Discourse, and the three main views for what "this generation" could refer to.
