    #230 - John Zmirak

    The midterms are one week away, and Eric has a warning for every Christian: "If you do not vote, your soul is in danger." John Zmirak of The Stream joins Eric to talk about what's at stake on November 3, why Eric is encouraged that the Justice Department is finally looking into Ilhan Omar, and why Zmirak says candidates like Ilhan Omar and Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed are "laughing at" Christians who stay home.First, a debate Eric has wanted to have: did Jesus have brothers and sisters? Zmirak explains that Martin Luther, the early Anglicans and "basically every Christian before the year 1600" believed Mary remained a virgin. He makes his own argument about why a bloodline of Jesus would have ruled the church for centuries if it had existed. Then the two friends spar over praying to Mary and the saints. Eric's reply: "She's the mother of the judge. So who are you kidding?"Plus, Eric is back home in Danbury, Connecticut, where he learned that his childhood trumpet teacher, who played taps on Flag Day 1973, is still alive in his 90s. He also calls On the Waterfront "a profound Christian film," and announces that Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. returns for a special theatrical event January 24–27. Ask your church to request a theater at bonhoeffermovie.com.Join Eric for the Socrates in the City live broadcast with Ignat Solzhenitsyn on November 12 and the annual Christmas Gala on December 9: socratesinthecity.com. Read John Zmirak at The Stream (stream.org). Rod D. Martin's book is Trump's New World Re-Order.

    #229 - Dimas Salaberrios | Angelos Kyriakides

    Doctors called it schizophrenia. He believes it was demonic. Urban missionary and apologist Angelos Kyriakides tells Eric his story: he was getting high at 12, using drugs by 16, and had a breakdown at 17. He explains how a Good Will Hunting scene at 3 a.m. and a mentor who slammed a Bible on the floor finally brought him to Christ, and why he believes the West needs a public confrontation with the gospel.First, filmmaker and pastor Dimas Salaberrios, author of Street God, talks about his new thriller, Fettered, the story of a girl from the Bronx who wakes up in the woods after a prom-night party, and the warning every parent and grandparent should pass on: never pick up a drink you walked away from. Fettered stars his daughter, Skylar Salaberrios, along with Al Sapienza, Sean Ringgold and the late John Capodice. It's streaming on Tubi, and Dimas says it's coming to Amazon Prime. He also discusses Chicago: America's Hidden War, his documentary about churches taking to the streets of Chicago, made with the backing of Denzel Washington and now on Amazon Prime.Dimas also tells the story he shares in Street God: how he went from drug kingpin to Christ, and the judge who gave him a second chance.Angelos's book is Leaving the Labyrinth; find it and his work at therightstory.org. Dimas's memoir, Street God, is available from Tyndale.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/me...🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 Dimas Salaberrios and His New Film, Fettered01:09 The Prom-Night Drink Warning04:27 Street God: From Drug Kingpin to Christ05:47 The Gun That Wouldn't Fire and the Judge's Mercy07:49 Chicago: America's Hidden War14:19 Inside Fettered: The Cast and the Real Stories20:34 Angelos Kyriakides and Leaving the Labyrinth27:14 Anxiety, Demons and a Psychiatric Ward34:58 The Slammed Bible and the Night at the River38:01 An Urban Missionary on the Downtown Eastside - - LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: / @ericmetaxas #EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

    #228 - Rod Martin

    Did the Trump administration really call Putin a "humanitarian," or did the media miss the point? Rod Martin joins Eric to break down Steve Witkoff's comments after Russia freed American Stephen Hubbard, and why Eric says it's diplomacy, not praise.They also take on the media's soft treatment of Ilhan Omar after the federal search of her home, the jobs and investment boom that Larry Kudlow calls the "greatest story never told," why gas costs more than it should, and how a few votes per precinct could decide the House in the midterms.Rod explains the argument of his new book, Trump's New World Re-Order: Dismantling the Deep State and Ending Postwar Globalist Rule (with a foreword by Eric). He argues that Trump is dismantling the bureaucratic order FDR built and replacing the postwar globalist order abroad, and that the Supreme Court's overturning of Humphrey's Executor changed the game.Plus: Eric's first pheasant hunt in South Dakota, and news on the Socrates in the City Mediterranean cruise, Eric's Nov. 12 conversation with Ignat Solzhenitsyn and the Dec. 9 gala.

    #227 - Dinesh D'Souza

    Was the childhood home of Jesus found beneath a convent in Nazareth, and why won't the scholars say it out loud? Dinesh D'Souza joins Eric to walk through the discoveries in his new book, The Stones Cry Out: Biblical Archaeology, Prophecy, and the Last Days, and his companion PragerU documentary series.Dinesh describes standing in the pit where the prophet Jeremiah was thrown and trapped in mud, and how the seals of the two officials who put him there have been dug up in Jerusalem. He tells the story of archaeologist Eilat Mazar, who used the Bible as a map to find what she believed was King David's palace, and of a seal that may bear the prophet Isaiah's name. He also explains the Pool of Siloam and the Pilgrimage Road that Jesus almost certainly walked.Plus: why Samson's feat is more plausible than skeptics claimed, the inscription naming Balaam son of Beor, how the pagan emperor Hadrian accidentally marked the site of Jesus' tomb, and why Eric believes the secularists are on the ropes.The Stones Cry Out is available now from Charisma House.

    #226 - Larry Taunton

    Sold in Ottoman slave markets as a teenage Christian girl, then rescued by an American, Aurora Mardiganian told the world what happened to Armenia's Christians in her 1918 memoir Ravished Armenia. Larry Alex Taunton thought her story was so important that he brought more than 100 copies to hand out after his September 11 talk, "The Cross and the Quran," which has drawn millions of views.Larry tells Eric what he has seen firsthand in Africa, the Middle East and Europe: a cleric in a Cairo bazaar spitting at a woman for wearing jeans, the phone apps where women have been sold as "domestics," and the threats he says he has faced for reporting on it. He also explains why he believes so-called moderates can be radicalized by imported clerics.They also discuss Dr. Mark Christian's memoir The Apostate, why the West produced its art and science, and why Larry thinks the West is "living in the ruins" of its Christian inheritance. Larry also explains why he believes banning Sharia won't work and what he would do instead.Watch Larry's talk at his YouTube channel, Larry Alex Taunton, and find his work at larryalextaunton.com.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/me...🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 What Is Islam?

    #225 - John Zmirak

    Netflix's Narnia: The Magician's Nephew has Meryl Streep voicing Aslan and a reported budget of $280 million. And John Zmirak says test audiences hated it. Eric and John take on Greta Gerwig's adaptation of C.S. Lewis, why Hollywood keeps buying beloved properties only to turn them against their fans, and the one scene online critics may have gotten backwards.Then John explains why a Dallas theater's drag-queen brunch screening of The Fellowship of the Ring enraged him in a way the Narnia news didn't. He argues it's willful vandalism that mirrors exactly what Tolkien's dark lord does: twisting what he can't create.They also discuss envy as the deadliest sin, including John's view that jealousy of Charlie and Erika Kirk is driving Candace Owens; his upcoming Chronicles essay arguing that white guilt is a false gospel; Angela Merkel's migrant policy; Kimberly Guilfoyle; and whether Ilhan Omar should be jailed or deported. Eric and John don't agree on that one.Read John Zmirak at The Stream (stream.org) and Chronicles (chroniclesmagazine.org).⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/me...🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 Eric at the Broadmoor: $9.50 Coffee and 30 Years of Marriage03:53 Kimberly Guilfoyle and the Worst of MAGA05:47 Greta Gerwig's Narnia and Meryl Streep's Aslan11:23 The $280 Million Budget and Hollywood's Pattern14:40 The Eagle and Child Scene Critics Got Wrong18:09 A Drag Queen Lord of the Rings Screening22:32 What Drag Queens Have in Common With Orcs25:46 Envy, Candace Owens and the Deadliest Sin30:23 White Guilt as a False Gospel41:18 Ilhan Omar: Jail or Deportation? - - LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: / @ericmetaxas #EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

    #224 - John West

    Karl Marx is often remembered as an economist who wanted to help the poor. But John G. West of Discovery Institute says that as a young man, Marx wrote dark poetry about forfeiting heaven: "My soul, once true to God, is chosen for hell." Eric and John discuss why communism isn't merely wrong economics but, they argue, spiritually anti-Christian from A to Z, and why most Christian colleges won't teach students its history.West tells the forgotten story of "human zoos," including the young African man the Bronx Zoo put in a cage with chimpanzees as a "missing link," and how the eugenics crusade it fed came to America before Nazi Germany. Eric shares how his own mother escaped Stalinist East Germany at 17, and West recalls his piano teacher in Soviet-occupied Poland, who was forced to sing hymns to Stalin: "The Nazis would just kill you. The Marxist utopia wanted your soul."They also discuss Cornerstone University's new core curriculum, The Story of Everything film on science and God, West's books Stockholm Syndrome Christianity and Endowed by Our Creator, and how to make sure your giving isn't funding the drift.Watch Human Zoos on YouTube and learn more at humanzoos.org and discovery.org.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 John West and Cornerstone University04:57 Why Communism Is Anti-Christian06:56 The Body Count and Hymns to Stalin09:32 Eric's Mother Escaped East Germany at 1712:30 The Story of Everything and Intelligent Design15:19 Darwinism Inside Christian Colleges27:20 Human Zoos: A Man in a Cage at the Bronx Zoo30:01 Karl Marx's Satanic Poetry37:05 Where Your Giving Goes and the Charlie Kirk Test43:08 What John West Is Working On Now- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

    #223 - Ben Schettler

    Ben Schettler, co-founder and president of the Center for Truth in Love, set up a debate table in Washington Square Park the way Charlie Kirk did on campuses. He says park police shut him down on May 19 while a drug dealer sat untouched a few yards away. The next night a mob surrounded him, he was punched from behind, his phone was stolen and he was taken away in an ambulance.In that ambulance, he recited Psalm 56:11 — the same verse his five-year-old son Cranston was speaking that night at church in Florida: "In the Lord have I put my trust. I will not fear what man can do unto me."Yesterday he testified before a New York grand jury. He says the punch is on video, the attacker confessed and it should have been open-and-shut — until jurors saw his Charlie Kirk Freedom hat. The indictment came, he says, "by barely." As soon as this interview ends, he's going back to the park with security.Benjamin says Eric's Bonhoeffer book is part of why he does this work, and his son's middle name is Dietrich.

    #222 - Rod Martin

    Ilhan Omar's home has been raided, and Eric says that's "earth shattering" because "our side doesn't do this kind of stuff unless it's legit." Strategist Rod Martin, author of the forthcoming Trump's New World Reorder, joins Eric to discuss what he says comes next, including a reported subpoena for Omar's sister over a USAID grant of about $20 million.Before that, Eric reacts to President Trump asking Kimberly Guilfoyle to step down as ambassador to Greece, and, as a proud Greek American, puts his own name forward for the job (and makes his case for returning the Elgin Marbles).Eric and Rod also take on the "nothing ever happens" crowd on the right, from Tucker Carlson to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie. They talk about Ken Paxton's election-fraud prosecutions in Texas, Rod's claims about Minnesota fraud money and Tim Walz, and why, Rod says, the midterms could come down to just four extra votes per precinct. Eric explains why, like John Adams after the Boston Massacre, justice has to be done by the book.Rod Martin's book Trump's New World Reorder releases October 20.

    Brian Kilmeade joins Eric on the release day of his new book, Uniting the States, to tell six moments that he believes forged the American miracle. They include John Adams defending the British soldiers after the Boston Massacre, a mysterious fog that let Washington's army escape Brooklyn, Shays' Rebellion, the War of 1812, the Louisiana Purchase, and John Quincy Adams' crusade against slavery in Congress, with a young Abraham Lincoln sitting nearby.Then filmmaker Dimas Salaberrios, author of Street God, shares how he went from New York drug kingpin to follower of Christ. He says that right after his conversion, a friend put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger again and again, and it never fired. He turned himself in, and a judge did something she'd never done before.Dimas also talks about his new thriller Fettered, written and directed by him and starring his daughter, which warns young people about drugged drinks and trafficking, and his documentary Chicago: America's Hidden War.Eric also marks his and Suzanne's 30th wedding anniversary.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 Eric and Suzanne's 30th Anniversary05:59 Brian Kilmeade: Uniting the States08:01 John Adams Defends the Boston Massacre Soldiers11:20 The Fog That Saved Washington's Army12:40 Shays' Rebellion and the War of 181216:09 The Louisiana Purchase: Pennies an Acre20:01 John Quincy Adams, Slavery and Young Lincoln27:31 Dimas Salaberrios and His New Film, Fettered32:09 A Gun to His Head That Wouldn't Fire35:03 Street God, Chicago and Why Miracles Are Real- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

    Joe Infranco didn't initially believe what he was hearing.People with nonspeaking autism were beginning to communicate through spelling, revealing thoughts, interests and abilities that many around them never realized were there. Then some began telling Joe something even stranger: they said they could see angels, demons, Jesus and an unseen spiritual realm.Infranco, a pastor and longtime trial attorney, joins Eric to discuss his book Decoding Cody: Secrets of the Spectrum from People with Autism Who See, Hear, and Smell in the Unseen Realm. He explains why he initially considered hallucination, imagination or outside influence, and how he began approaching these accounts as a lawyer might examine witnesses.Eric and Joe also discuss recurring descriptions of Jesus, claims of telepathy or “words of knowledge,” a mysterious place some call “The Hill,” the hidden intellectual abilities of nonspeaking people with autism, and the biblical discernment Joe says is essential when evaluating extraordinary spiritual claims.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/0:00 Joseph Infranco Joins1:09 What Was Hidden Inside Nonspeaking People With Autism?3:45 “Pastor Joe, I See Angels”5:14 A Trial Lawyer Investigates The Claims8:54 What Is Spelling-Based Communication?17:34 Angels, Demons And Biblical Discernment20:53 What Do They Say Jesus Looks Like?23:23 Telepathy And “Words Of Knowledge”28:24 Is God Speaking Through People On The Spectrum?35:40 What Is “The Hill”?- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

    #219 - Abdu Murray

    What if the greatest danger of artificial intelligence isn't that machines become more human, but that humans become more like machines?Christian apologist and author Abdu Murray joins Eric to discuss his new book Fake ID: How AI and Identity Ideology Are Collapsing Reality and What to Do About It. Abdu argues that the explosion of artificial intelligence and modern identity ideology share a deeper connection: both emerge in a culture increasingly willing to place feelings, preferences and technological power above objective reality.Eric and Abdu discuss AI deepfakes, transhumanism, whether machines can ever truly become conscious, an AI-generated image that won an art competition, and growing concerns about what happens when people outsource memory, creativity and critical thinking to machines.They also explore Abdu's provocative warning that the future may not be one in which machines become human, but one in which human beings surrender more and more of what makes them human.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/0:00 Abdu Murray Joins1:09 What Do AI And Gender Ideology Have In Common?3:22 Are We Losing Our Grip On Reality?5:07 From The Human Soul To “Identity”6:59 Are Humans Machines Or Gods?9:15 The Genesis 3 Connection12:04 The AI Alignment Problem15:29 Can AI Ever Become Conscious?18:53 Why Abdu Wrote Fake ID20:17 The AI Artwork That Won First Prize22:04 Are Humans Trying To Create Their Own God?24:13 Why AI Is Not Actually Human Intelligence25:40 Can AI Point Us Back To God?27:11 Can A Machine Understand Beauty?31:48 The REAL Danger Of AI34:49 Is AI Making Us Stop Thinking?37:45 When A Tool Becomes The Master39:20 “We Don’t Need An Upgrade”- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

    #218 - Tim Mulgrew

    What does it actually mean to be saved?Tim Mulgrew, author of Christian: A Contract With God: Understanding the Terms of True Salvation*, joins Eric to examine one of the most sobering warnings in Scripture: Jesus saying, “I never knew you.”Tim argues that many Christians have been taught to think salvation is simply a matter of walking an aisle, praying a prayer, getting baptized or mentally agreeing with the right beliefs. Eric and Tim discuss the difference between merely identifying as a Christian and actually being born again, why genuine faith should transform the way a person lives, and what Scripture means when it says faith without works is dead.They also discuss the sinner’s prayer, “once saved, always saved,” Bonhoeffer’s warning about cheap grace, discipleship, sanctification and why Christians should be willing to seriously examine whether their faith has truly changed their lives.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/0:00 Tim Mulgrew Joins1:49 Who Is Jesus Warning In Matthew 7?3:44 Faith Without Works Is Dead5:33 What Does It Actually Mean To “Believe”?7:50 The Problem With Easy Christianity9:07 Is The Sinner’s Prayer Biblical?10:10 “Depart From Me, I Never Knew You”11:32 Does Real Faith Change Your Life?13:33 Why Tim Calls Salvation A “Contract”15:01 What Does It Mean To Be Born Again?18:23 Eric On False Assurance And Discipleship21:31 Is Salvation Just A Ticket To Heaven?22:55 What Comes After Being Saved?25:57 Has The Church Made Salvation Too Easy?28:11 Dying To Self30:02 Should Christians Question Their Salvation?- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.
