“I Was Convicted by My Own Apathy” – Juan Riesco on Saving Babies
Apr 1300:40:28Tap to summarizeJuan Riesco, former Nini's Deli owner and now Director of Advertising for Love Life, shares his remarkable journey from running a top-rated restaurant that was shut down during the 2020 BLM protests, to answering God’s call to sidewalk ministry outside abortion clinics. He opens up about the spiritual battle, why most abortions stem from sin rather than just hardship, the 95 babies rescued through their ministry so far, and how local churches can step up through the House of Refuge Initiative. This episode is filled with conviction, hope, and practical encouragement for Christians who want to stand for life and the gospel in dark places.Links:Paint The Wall Black: https://youtu.be/4OJIucA3zsc?si=xuHJQVF4Fk8JdX7hLove Life: https://lovelife.org/location/chicago/00:00 - Introduction & Juan Riesco’s Story: From Restaurant Owner to Pro-Life Ministry 00:01:48 - Reopening Nini’s Restaurant & Why It Ultimately Closed 00:09:23 - The Conviction That Led Juan to Sidewalk Ministry 00:15:33 - What Really Happens at Abortion Clinics: Light vs. Darkness 00:22:45 - 95 Babies Saved – Success Stories & Gospel Impact 00:28:55 - How Churches Can Get Involved: House of Refuge Initiative 00:38:03 - The Future of the Pro-Life Movement & Final EncouragementOur Sponsors:* Check out Mars Men and use my code Mengotomars.com for a great deal: https://mengotomars.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Apr 700:58:26Tap to summarizeRod Martin explains his shift from Southern Baptist issues to in-depth foreign policy analysis, why Trump’s long-consistent realist approach to Iran, China, and global trade is strategically brilliant, and why conservatives should feel optimistic about his predictions regarding regime change in Iran, lower oil prices, an economic boom, and the midterms.

Transcribe →IX Marks & Social Justice Compromise
Apr 601:31:23Tap to summarizeJon Harris details how IX Marks published resources that portrayed racism as a pervasive institutional problem in white evangelical churches, promoted racial reconciliation efforts that echoed leftist framing (such as rejecting color-blindness, emphasizing white privilege, and linking police incidents to systemic racism), expanded the gospel to include anti-racism work, normalized singleness and same-sex attraction in ways that downplayed biblical marriage and family, showed uneven responses to cultural issues (softer on LGBT matters early on while being more vocal on race), and navigated COVID lockdowns and politics with perceived inconsistencies.

Transcribe →A Response to the New Anti-Jewish Theology
Mar 2401:36:31Tap to summarizeIn this episode Jon Harris tackles the growing wave of distorted teachings online about the Bible, the church, and the nation of Israel. Amid rising errors like dishonest portrayals of Jewish people, rejection of Gods promises to ethnic Israel, and even questions about Jesus Jewish identity, Harris offers clear biblical and historical guidance.Drawing from the unconditional Abrahamic covenant in Genesis and echoed in Romans 9 through 11, he shows that God still has a sovereign plan for ethnic Israel including a coming ingathering and salvation. This hope held by church fathers, Reformers, Puritans and theologians like Edwards Spurgeon and Lloyd Jones strengthens Gentile believers confidence in Gods faithfulness.Harris warns against letting politics shape theology or sliding into unjustified anti Jewish rhetoric emphasizing instead the call to bless Israel through prayer and evangelism while upholding Christ as the Jewish Messiah and the unity of Scripture. A timely defense of Gods irrevocable promises.PowerPoint Download: https://www.patreon.com/posts/153863146Essay Format: https://jonharris.substack.com/post/192036690Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
