• #128 - Kyle Thompson // You Don’t Hate Evil Enough: The -isms

  We examine Psalm 97:10, which commands those who love the Lord to hate evil, applying this principle specifically to ideologies that contradict biblical teaching. Our focus centers on why Christians should more actively oppose destructive philosophical systems like Marxism, communism, socialism, and feminism.• Brief explanation of each ideology's core principles• God's design brings order while these ideologies foster chaos• These systems breed hatred and envy by pitting groups against each other• Biblical warnings against covetousness directly counter these philosophies• These ideologies pull people away from the roles God established• Scripture passages from Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11 affirm God's design• Christians must hate evil and let this hatred compel them to actionIf you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.

• #127 - Kyle Thompson // You Don’t Hate Evil Enough: Standpoint Epistemology

  Today we explore how Christians should respond to standpoint epistemology – the belief that knowledge and truth are determined by one's social position. We examine Psalm 97:10 which commands believers who love the Lord to hate evil.• Standpoint epistemology manifests in modern culture as critical race theory and "my truth" thinking• This ideology contradicts biblical truth by replacing God's objective Truth with subjective personal perspectives• God explicitly condemns showing partiality based on social identities (James 2:1)• Our primary identity should be in Christ, not in social categories or immutable characteristics• Unity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) is directly opposed by ideologies that emphasize social divisionsIf you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.Support the showWant to connect?
