Why do so many Christians struggle to define or defend what they believe? In this episode, author and pastor Dave Jenkins joins us to discuss his book, The War of the Worldviews: Truth, Lies, and the Battle for the Christian Mind. We dive into how to practically build a biblical worldview, the real root causes of biblical and theological illiteracy today, and why standing firm on the truth of Scripture is more critical than ever.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What is a Biblical Worldview? Breaking down the narrative of Scripture: Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation.
• The 3 Pillars of Illiteracy: Understanding the differences between biblical, theological, and worldview illiteracy.
• Discipleship vs. Pragmatism: Why modern Christian culture focuses on quick fixes over theological foundations.
• How to Exercise True Discernment: Loving God and neighbor by testing all things against the sufficiency of God's Word.
• Hope for the Church: Why Christians shouldn't be discouraged by deception in our culture.

This episode examines the film Rainbow Fire claims that women have always been called to preach and lead. We unpack the emotional appeal behind that message, compare it to Scripture, and explore how misinterpreting texts like 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2 can echo the rebellion of Korah — challenging God’s authority and design for His church.

Has the church muzzled women by restricting them to "home" type of roles and behind-the-scenes service?

In this biblical response to the Rainbow Fire documentary, we expose how the film recasts biblical teachings on women’s roles as bondage; something women supposedly need deliverance from to be ‘unmuzzled. We examine Titus 2, Proverbs 31, and 1 Corinthians 12 to see how Scripture actually honors faithful women’s roles.

Does visibility equal value, or is faithfulness what God praises?
