What does it really mean to be a citizen of the Kingdom of God?In this episode of In the Arena, Pastor Jason Warman sits down with Pastor Lonnie Keene for a conversation about what happens when Kingdom values collide with culture. They unpack how Scripture should shape our politics, identity, leadership, and view of truth—and why following Jesus means more than simply agreeing with Christianity.From navigating cultural pressure to understanding our identity in Christ, living on assignment, and recognizing the importance of the local Church, this conversation challenges believers to stop allowing culture to define their convictions and start living like citizens of a different Kingdom.

Prosperity has become a loaded word in Christianity. But have we allowed the abuses of the “prosperity gospel” to make us afraid of something the Bible actually talks about?In this episode of In the Arena, we unpack what biblical prosperity really means and why following God’s ways was never meant to produce a life defined by simply surviving.We talk about the difference between biblical prosperity and the prosperity gospel, why poverty isn’t automatically righteous and wealth isn’t automatically unrighteous, and how money reveals what truly has our hearts.

In this episode of In the Arena, Jason Warman sits down with Next Gen Pastor Trevor Ritchie to trace a thread from Daniel to Haggai and ask a critical question: Who is shaping the next generation?Babylon didn't just conquer nations. It targeted young people, changed their names, reeducated them, reshaped their worldview, and ultimately demanded their conformity. Daniel and his friends show us what it looks like to live faithfully inside a culture without becoming like the culture.But identifying Babylon isn't enough.From religious liberty and the role of government to education, economics, family, and the next generation, this conversation explores what happens when Christians stop simply asking, “What's wrong with the culture?” and start asking, “What are we building?”

In the Season 2 premiere of In the Arena, Andrew Sedra joins the conversation to tackle some of the biggest worldview and cultural questions facing Christians and the West today.Why are Christians being told to stay out of the culture war? How has Islam historically spread, and what changes when Islam moves from a minority religion to a dominant cultural force? Why are Marxists and Islamic activists becoming political allies despite radically different moral frameworks? And what happens to a nation when immigration is disconnected from assimilation?Andrew also shares his perspective on the crossroads America is facing and what Christians, pastors, and parents need to understand if we want the next generation to inherit a nation shaped by faith, freedom, and truth.This is a conversation designed to challenge assumptions, confront difficult questions, and remind Christians why we can't afford to sit on the sidelines.Welcome back to Season 2 of In the Arena.

In this episode, we take a careful and honest look at Christian Nationalism—what the term actually means, how it’s commonly misunderstood, and why it has become a cultural catch-all label.We begin by asking the hard questions:What do people think Christian nationalism is? How did the term shift from a specific idea into a broad accusation? And where is the line between Christianity influencing culture, healthy patriotism, political idolatry, and actual theocracy?From there, we explore how Christianity has historically shaped Western civilization—human dignity, equality, hospitals, education, charity, law, and moral frameworks—and challenge the idea that any civilization is truly “neutral.” Every society is formed by a worldview; the real question is which worldview is shaping it.This episode is an invitation to move beyond labels, think biblically, and engage the conversation with clarity, humility, and conviction.

In this episode, Trevor Ritchie sits down with Jason Warman for a thoughtful conversation on how our culture has redefined fairness—and the consequences of that shift.The conversation turns to the rise of socialism and how it often replaces personal responsibility with state coercion, reshaping our understanding of fairness and justice. As one central idea frames the episode:“When biblical categories disappear, ideological substitutes take their place.”Using real-world examples—particularly policies coming out of New York City—Trevor and Jason examine envy-based cultural messaging, elite hypocrisy, and the growing trend of punishing productivity while expanding inefficient systems.This isn’t just an economic discussion. It’s a deeper examination of how fairness, money, and justice become distorted when biblical definitions are replaced with ideological ones—and why getting those categories right matters.

At our Faith & Culture Night at CoastLife Church, Pastor Jason sat down for an In-The-Arena conversation with Byron Donalds. Together, they discussed faith, leadership, and the real policies Congressman Donalds plans to establish if elected Governor of Florida. 

In this episode, Jason Warman sits down with Chase Russell for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation on global threats, geopolitical power, and the role Christians play in civic engagement today.From the roots of Iranian terrorism following the 1979 revolution to the expansion of Iran’s global proxy network, we explore how ideology, money, and deception shape modern conflict. The discussion examines Iran’s domestic human-rights abuses, its long-standing hostility toward Israel, and the use of propaganda in global media narratives.We also zoom out to look at broader geopolitical moves — including recent events in Venezuela and their ripple effects across China, Cuba, and the Western Hemisphere — and what they signal about power, influence, and accountability on the world stage.
