Evangelist John Hopper joins Sarah and Evan to look at whether following Jesus is worth it. We consider Jesus' teaching, Lordship, and example as we try to reach those who maybe like Jesus, but have not yet given their lives to him.
New friend Adam Ellwanger joins Sarah and Evan for a spicy episode of White Pill Radio. We look at Trump's recent comments on going to heaven, Salon talk vs. saloon talk, the Vatical rolling out the prayer carpets for Muslims, and a man accused of murder running for sheriff.
Dr. Owen Anderson, Philosophy professor at Arizona State University, joins Sarah and Evan to look at the history and present state of fascism. (If it even still exists today.) What is fascism? Who's a fascist? As the campus faculty representative for Turning Point USA, Dr. Anderson knows the importance of this question. Thanks to him for joining us!
Oscar, Sarah, and Evan look at some weak-sauce comments by the pope on the pro-life position, several Charlie Kirk articles including whether witchcraft works and a pastor who says Charlie was "unChristlike," and an article by Evan on Substack about ways to limit Muslim influence...if that is a thing the West ever wants to do.
Alex Kocman joins Sarah and Evan to look at the need for masculinity in the church, including foreign missions. We also look at what the Church's response to immigration should be. You can learn all about Alex here: https://alexkocman.com/.
A scientist-turned author explores the intrigue and horrors of the Jewish-Roman war, the life of Josephus, and the implications for Israel and the church.
Sarah and Evan talk about the heartbreaking assassination of Charlie Kirk, the divide between the left and right, and the murder in Charlotte, NC. Where do we go from here?
Pr. LeMae Higgs joins Evan for an insider's look at South Africa. Pr. Higgs lived and worked in South Africa for 11 years during an interesting and tumultuous period. We look at the history of the nation, colonization, Apartheid, tribalism, and Nelson Mandela. If you have ever wondered what this complicated nation is like, this is an excellent primer!
Sarah and Evan look at the tragic shooting in Minneapolis, the double standard on abortion drug usage, whether Spain is following the Fascist playbook, and the affects of AI chatbot companions.
TBTP travels to The Woodlands to answer the question of pluralism. Are all religions true? Or contain an element of truth? How exclusive should Christian thought really be?
Cody joins Sarah and Evan as we look at the possibility of Obergefell being revisited by the Supreme Court, Pete Hegseth's retweeting about the 19th Amendment, whether Sydney Sweeney's ad really is eugenic, Trump's Smithsonian overhaul, the Good Samaritan vs. DEI, and a trio of articles about Nigerian Christians.

On the 100th anniversary of the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, Ken and Max revisit our recent event on evolution and look at the best evidence for evolution or creation.
Mace, Ken, and Austin join Evan to look at the headlines. And out of respect for our audience, we kept the entire episode Epstein-free. But we look at the death of theological titan John MacArthur, the IRS allowing pastor's to endorse a political candidate, the theology and politics of the new Superman, and the rantings of a city council person towards ungrateful Muslims.
What is the point of Sunday morning worship? Is it for believers? Seekers? Both? Does it matter whether we're singing hymns with a choir and an organ or raising our hands to contemporary praise songs with guitars and drums?What does the Bible say about it all?Creeds? Responsive readings/liturgy... how often should we be taking communion? Who should be leading singing? Should we even be using instruments? Who says?Evan McClanahan will be repping for "Team Liturgy," and talking about how high church is more than just a preferred style.Mon'Sher Spencer will advocate for a more contemporary "low church" feel and share her own experience as a worship leader in that context.
Is the earth 6,000 years old or millions? Did life spring from primordial soup? Did we evolve from apes? How was the universe made? What was 'before' the Big Bang? How old is the earth? Were Adam and Eve real historical people and did we descend from that single pair? Did humans evolve from apes? How did different species come to be. What about the dinosaurs!?Join us as we explore this age-old debate and hear from 3 perspectives:Young Earth Creationism - Max AntonOld Earth Creationism - Jacobi LewisTheistic Evolution - Andrew GarbarinoThen we'll add Oscar Villanueva and Jason Moreno to the panel to field all your questions!
Brandon Baca joins WRP for the first time! Brandon, Sarah, Evan, and Ken as we look at the week's headlines from a Christian worldview. We look at the conflict between Israel and Iran, whether pastors should protest ICE deportations, how AI is enabling cheating at university, and a strange poll about which inventions have hurt children the most. Also, the big win at the Supreme Court (if you're not pro-Trans), and the world's smartest man confessing Christ.
President Trump said we need to bring back Alcatraz. That got us talking about prison reform, whether we need more "law and order," root causes of crime, and much more. Join Evan, Marquice, Ken, and Cody as we talk through many controversial issues related to crime and punishment.
Josh comes back for his second consecutive WPR and he joins Ken, Evan, and Cody. Pretty much the entire spectrum is covered on this episode. We look at whether the Ten Commandments should be put in school classrooms, a lawsuit against an insurance company for losing money on the sick, whether the abortion pill is safe, and why no one on this panel can give Trump credit even for good things.
Evan and Ken have a spirited debate about whether Christians should vote. Evan argues that, yes, Christians should vote for the sake of exercising dominion and enacting the Christian worldview. Ken says that Christians may abstain as we are rarely presented good options. The audience will play the role as judge, so you get to decide!
