Join Keith as he attempts to navigate this very sensitive issue as he explore the multiple layers of tragedy at play through the lens of a biblical (Christian) worldview.

Is Islam a religion of gay ideals? Was Mohammed a proud trans-lesbian woman? Is this what your college student believes?

To be sure, Islam does not support homosexualism nor was Mohammed a woman, or gay. These are lies that a deluded and increasingly irrational left propogate and increasingly believe. Don't think so--listen to a sound bite and listen to today's podcat.

"Students desiring to live in Biola-owned housing will be placed based on their sex at birth. However, as issues connected to sexuality and gender are complex and layered, we will walk with students on an individual basis who identify as transgender or experience dissonance with their biological sex and gender in order to provide helpful support, to arrive at decisions around facilities use, and to offer appropriate accountability....We also ask that transgender individuals refrain from the process of a medical transition during their time at Biola."

There's more... but you get the picture... Join Keith as he discusses the state of affairs in Christian Higher education.

Do you picture heaven as an unending family reunion or a get-together with old friends?

Is heaven about you or God? Would you be disappointed if heaven doesn't match your human, earthly idea? Keith confronts these concerns using Jesus' comments to the Sadducees in the Gospel of Matthew.

Former president Obama nowadays an out of touch multi-multi-millionaire has become what he had once opposed and lost relevance. Join Keith as he explores this phenomena.

In today's podcast, Keith former podcast partner, Mark Stickler, returns to interview Keith about his book, yes, but also pneumatology.

Would you rather have a dead son who perhaps committed suicide or a happy transitioned daughter?

Are you willing to affirm this choice to transition if you love your child? Wouldn't you rather see them happy? Choose!

Are these really the only two options? Join Keith has he discusses difficult choices.

We also briefly examine the parallel apostasy of the Episcopal Church USA and its decline, given that it serves as a harbinger of where the United Methodist Denomination (and those churches who remain) is headed. I've included a video referred to in the podcast from a bizarre Episcopal Rally, here.

What we see is what happens to denominations when they reject the Christ of the Bible, His gospel, and the Bible itself.

And what a schism this is! This schism represents the largest departure of churches from any denomination or group in almost 150 years. This implosion has also given birth to a new, more evangelical-ish version of a Methodist Denomination: the birth of the Global Methodist Church https://globalmethodist.org/).

What prompted this schism? Some say a picture is worth a thousand words... the video below will introduce you to SOME of the troubles facing this troubled denomination.

In the second episode we discussed the mechanics and how to of breaking free of porn that the porn-sinner can take.

In this third installment, we turn a corner, discussing your approach and my approach as a counselor, accountability partner, or a loved one: how we can come along side and love these folks and yet hold them accountable.

This is a top-down full-court press whose genesis began in the state university system and continues as a contagion. Has it spread to our public schools? What's up and what can you do? Join Keith and Mark as they tackle and explore this topic. 

Join Keith and Mark as they discuss lessons learned from seemingly unrelated events like Meghan and Harry accusing the Royal Family of racism and the Bachelor’s Chris Harrison losing his job for “defending racism.”

In our initial podcast episode and discussion we ask; are all things fluid or subjective. Join Keith and Mark for the opening discussion and consideration of Transgenderism. 

Rod and Keith discuss the coming persecution of Christians and the challenges they will face as they try to survive under this new form of totalitarianism, looking to the lessons of the past in Eastern Europe. Join us and learn.

The greatest impediments to recovery are both the addict’s pride and sense of victimhood or entitlement, and the enablers who do dumb things with the best of intentions. Join Keith and Mark as they consider all the ins and outs addicts and those who love them face, and the choices they must make if the addict is to survive.

Join Keith and Mark for a discussion of this event, who is to blame, what the Bible says about such types of behavior and what the future may hold. 

There's so much confusion about addiction. Is it a disease, a sinful behavior, or just what? Keith and Mark wrestle through these questions in today's episode, as always, using the Bible as their guide.

Join Keith and Mark as they talking about shedding false Messiahs and distractions and reestablishing the right priority and reembracing the right narrative--particularly in light of Advent Season. 

In Podcast 17, borrowing the popular term 'sanctuary city', we talk about how believers and the Church should have safe places of refuge in the home or elsewhere. Here we can learn in community, and invite "outsiders" inside for the cause of Christ.

In a hectic world, we need quiet spaces to retool, refresh, and recharge our spiritual batteries. Places where we can help ourselves and others in the Christian community. In today's podcast, Keith and Mark discuss the need for such places and how they might work. Join the conversation! 

How then do you live? If you are wise, for the sake of your family and children, you live and socialize among your own people. Relationships outside your group are formed wisely, intentionally, and carefully--purposefully.

So it is with Christians! We are aliens and strangers on earth (and in our own countries). Increasingly our worldview is becoming criminalized (gay marriage, transgender rights, et al) and we find ourselves in danger of sanction, legal and civil penalties and "culturally disadvantaged." Therefore, we have to wisely live out our faith and invest wisely in those outside the faith. But how? Mark and Keith explain and address these challenges in today's podcast. 

Many agree that it is this worldview, foisted on teens by churches and parents seeking to make good kids rather than saved sinners, that undermines the faith of many young people. Once they enter college they seem to walk away from a faith they perhaps never really had. Join Keith and Mark for a spirited discussion. 

Does the mean that the Pope also affirms sexual activity (homosexual or otherwise) outside of marriage? Does the Pope really see the practice of homosexuality as a sin? Did God or Jesus reserve marital relationships for one man and one woman? What does the Bible say? Join Mark and Keith as they discuss this event and its implications. This begins season three: "Christians, Christ, and the Culture."

In today's podcast, we provide both perspective and prescription on what you can do to prepare through concrete principles from the hard-won wisdom of believers who lived through Marxist totalitarianism in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. In so doing, we try to look at it all through the lens of Scripture. 

We are losing our freedom of religion and assembly. People are startingly and overtly anti-Christian. In John 16:2, Jesus warns that some will persecute believers with a religious fervor. How then shall we live? Learn more and find out in today's episode! 

Those who differ or dissent are suffering fines, dehumanization, and demonization as those who don't care about their fellow man. From "vaccine refusers" to those who don't wear masks... those who don't comply with the prevailing narrative and its dogma are being marginalized. What does this mean? What can we do? Find out about all of this in today's podcast. 

Between the complications of COVID and Cultural Marxism churches are seeking the path of accommodation by not meeting and jumping on the latest bandwagon. Maybe it's time to leave for a new church.

Keith and Mark discuss such possibilities. In the context of the coming persecution that seems to be on the cultural horizon you need to be part of a strong faith community that can support and grow you spiritually. 

The public education establishment and teacher's unions seem to have become militant in advancing ideas such as gender fluidity and LGBTQ ideology. In places like Santa Barbara, there are curricula that attack Christianity outright. England had its "Brexit." Should Christians engage in a 'Schexit,' abandoning the public school for alternative education options? Listen to Keith and Mark's spirited discussion (and debate)!

• You had originally entitled today’s discussion “Deconstructing Deconversion” why the change?

• How does this connect with your previous podcasts on Critical Theory and Education and Critical Theory and the Church—and the Pulpit and Politics. I sensed in a theme in Season One, does this theme continue here? What’s the connection?

• Whether it’s a Rock Star Pastor like Josh Harris or the YouTube Celebrities who used to be with Campus Crusade, or CRU, or Marty Sampson, a worship music writer, singer, and active member of Hillsong has publicly denounced his faith on social media—or someone’s son or daughter or sibling or parents—or a loved one walks away, the larger questions are:
• What happened? What do we make of all this?
• Can you lose your salvation?

• Are you saying that these people were not saved in the first place? Because people would say that they sure seemed saved…

• What do you say to a parent or family member who’s heartbroken and bewildered by all this? Sometimes, I know from my own ministry, family was never really engaged in a student’s discipleship but other times I’ve seen it where a parent, or both parents did all they could, and their kids walk away. What’s your take on this?

Pastor Keith Crosby takes an in-depth look at the role religion plays in politics and why as Christians we shouldn't shy away from the political conversations going on around us today.

Keith Crosby and Student Ministries Pastor Mark Stickler discuss this important topic and its relevance to the Church and its families.

God has saved us to do the works he has called us to do.

God seeks to unite, Critical Theory seeks to divide.

Romans 12:14-21 give us the blueprint for how we are to treat others.

Racial Profiling in the church will destroy the church.
