Wade was overturned—and why is public opinion shifting toward pro-choice?

| 4/7/26 | The Mormon Creation Dilemma: Is It Fatal to Christianity? | On a recent MAVEN immersive experience in Utah, we had the pleasure of meeting a few philosophically inclined young men from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Far too often, conversations between Christians and Latter-day Saints remain at a surface level—talking past one another rather than reasoning together (Isaiah 1:18). Recently, @LetsTalk-HaydenCarroll released a book (and podcast) on the Creation Dilemma. It's a good argument, but does it dismantle credal Christianity? Join Dr. Tim Stratton, Josh Klein, and Will Hess from @TheChurchSplit as they dissect the argument and prove that Molinism remains unscathed and Mormonism collapses on its own argument.

| 2/24/26 | This Bad Cultural Advice Will Hurt Christians — A Biblical Response | Recently, Theologian Dr. Darrell Bock gave a seminar to church leaders and pastors on engaging the culture and cultural intelligence. Slides from his presentation were posted on social media and, at face value, the verbiage is... problematic. Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein are joined by Reverend Dr. Tom Barnes to discuss why this is concerning and to break down what we can and should do about it. Full Disclosure: None of the three were at the event, so this commentary is meant to be directed towards the public-facing verbiage that could either a) be easily misconstrued, b) be misremembered in our current culture moment by people in attendance and applied using definitions based on critical theory rather than a biblical worldview, and/or c) were taught poorly in the first place and no explanation or nuance would make it better.

| 2/17/26 | Are You Being Bewitched? Propaganda, Free Will & the War for Your Mind | How can two people watch the same video and reach completely opposite conclusions? Dr. Tim Stratton and Josh Klein explore how propaganda, bias, and libertarian free will shape our interpretation of reality. Is cultural deception the result of manipulation — or are we freely choosing what to believe? In this episode, we unpack the war for the mind and why discernment matters. Scripture warns, "Who has bewitched you?" This episode examines that biblical warning and calls Christians to pursue what is objectively true through the renewing of the mind. 📖 Read the full article here: https://www.freethinkingministries.com/post/who-has-bewitched-you-libertarian-freedom-propaganda-and-the-war-for-the-mind Watch as we unpack why propaganda influences belief without forcing it, and why faithful thinking matters more than ever.

| 11/4/25 | Exposing the Weak Biblical Arguments on Jubilee vs. Allie Beth Stuckey | Josh Klein of FreeThinking Ministries reacts to biblical arguments made against @AllieBethStuckey during a recent @jubilee surrounded episode. Every clip used from the Jubilee video is in direct compliance with "fair use" law and is intended to add commentary as well as serve for "educative" purposes and thus is lawful to distribute and does not violate copyright law. editors note: In Josh's conversation around the Sibyllene Oracles he failed to mention that Sibyllene Oracle 2:73 is widely considered to be a later Christian interpolation which is why it is considered as written later than 1 Cor. 6.
