Ideas Have Consequences With Larry Alex Taunton

What went wrong in the midterm elections?   The results have left plenty of questions, but the real story goes far beyond who won and who lost.   Today, I break down where things went wrong, what the political establishment may have missed, and what it all means for America's future.

Can you be both a Christian and a feminist? Carrie Gress once believed you could. Today, she argues the two are fundamentally incompatible. In this fascinating conversation, we examine feminism's Marxist influences, its impact on motherhood and marriage, and the cultural consequences we're witnessing today.

llegals: A Warning to Americans Larry Alex Taunton issues a warning about what he says is coming to America through illegal immigration, drawing historical parallels to Athens and Rome and arguing that nations decline when prosperity breeds hedonism and depopulation. Citing his firsthand experience tracking caravans since 2019 and reporting from Mexico City, he claims cartels still smuggle people into the U.S. and argues these newcomers are tougher than Americans and do not share American law or culture. He urges Christians not to abstain from voting, stresses the importance of borders, law enforcement, and how the unborn are treated, and calls for sensible immigration policy while supporting ICE and frontline organizations. He also encourages personal engagement to change minds and emphasizes that America’s ultimate hope is spiritual revival and repentance through Jesus Christ. 

What if the days of creation in Genesis mean something far more profound than we've been taught? In Part 2 of what may be Professor John Lennox's most important lecture, he examines the Hebrew meaning of “day,” the science behind creation, and why our existence is no accident. But his conclusion goes far beyond science. It points us to Christ Himself.

Did Genesis get it right? Can science and Scripture agree on the origins of the universe? In this special two-part release of Ideas Have Consequences, Larry Alex Taunton revisits a fascinating 2009 conference talk by Oxford professor, mathematician, and Christian apologist John Lennox, exploring one of Christianity's most debated questions: How should we understand the creation account in Genesis? Drawing on science, Scripture, philosophy, and history, Lennox examines the relationship between God's Word and God's creation, challenging the assumption that scientific discovery and biblical truth must be at odds. From the age of the universe and the six days of creation to Galileo, biblical interpretation, and the fine-tuning of the cosmos, Lennox encourages Christians to approach Genesis with intellectual honesty, theological conviction, and humility. In this episode: Does Genesis contradict modern science? What does the Bible actually mean by the six days of creation? Can Christians disagree about Genesis while remaining faithful to Scripture? What can Galileo teach us about interpreting the Bible? Why does Genesis place humanity at the center of creation? What does the fine-tuning of the universe reveal about its origins? Whether you're a skeptic, a scientist, or a Christian wrestling with the creation account, this discussion offers a thoughtful examination of faith, reason, and the origins of our universe.

Abortion. Collapsing birth rates. A fertility industry turning human life into a commodity.   Are these separate issues or symptoms of something much bigger?   Seth Gruber joins me to make the case that the West isn’t simply losing population. It’s losing its understanding of what human life is worth.

I went to Mexico to investigate how cartels are profiting from illegal immigration—and sent an operative undercover in Mexico City to dig even deeper. What he was allegedly offered stunned me: a “real” U.S. visa in just 3 days. Visas. Coyotes. Narco tunnels. This is what we found.

Why is Islam gaining ground in the West? I joined @SethGruberShow to discuss how the West’s abandonment of Christianity has created a cultural vacuum—and why Islam is increasingly positioned to fill it. We also get into Dawkins, Hitchens, Oxford, atheism, and the future of the West.

The Bible has endured generations of skeptical scrutiny. The Quran and Hindu scriptures hasn't and cannot endure the same level of scrutiny.   So what has archaeology actually uncovered? @DineshDSouza joins me to ask: Are the stones telling a different story?
