CrossPolitic Show
Hosted by Pastor Toby, Choc Knox, Waterboy · EN
CrossPolitic (Christ over politics) mixes the taboo formula of faith, culture, and politics to bring the clarity of the gospel into muddle America. We are a community of Christians who desire to see the Lordship of Christ in every corner of our culture, reigning over every politician, and changing every individual for our good and His glory. Our hosts are pastors, deacons, and filmmakers, who long to see our fallen and broken nation recognize Jesus as our redeemer. Our hosts have interviewed notable presidential candidates (such as Senator Ted Cruz and Dr. Ben Carson), written books, preach the Gospel, make films, and utilize every avenue possible to declare the gospel of our Lord to the whole world.

Why is America in a Sex Recession?
Sep 601:02:54Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Crosspolitic Toby, Knox, and Gabe dive into a recent Institute for Family Studies report documenting America's "sex recession" - revealing that young adults aged 18-29 are having significantly less sex than previous generations, with sexlessness doubling since 2010. While initially seeming positive (less unmarried sex), it only takes exploring the deeper cultural implications to realize otherwise. With declining birth rates now below 1.6, reduced social interaction among young people, and a generation rewired by smartphones and social media since 2010, the discussion reveals how this trend points to broader issues of isolation, lack of real-world relationships, and a culture that has lost sight of biblical sexuality and marriage.

Transcribe →Bahnsen vs. Stein, Gary DeMar vs. End Times
Aug 2601:11:43Tap to summarizeIn this episode of CrossPolitic Toby, Knox, and Gabe welcome back Gary DeMar, president of American Vision, to discuss "The Great Debate: Does God Exist?". The book serves as a reading and analysis of the legendary 1985 Bahnsen-Stein debate. DeMar explains why this 40th anniversary examination of the debate remains relevant today, highlighting how Greg Bahnsen's presuppositional apologetic approach completely dismantled Gordon Stein's atheistic arguments by forcing him to confront his own philosophical assumptions. The conversation takes an unexpected turn into eschatology, addressing the public perception of a "falling out" between DeMar and the CrossPolitic guys over theological differences. The conversation ultimately comes around to the substantive discussion about the resurrection of the dead, the physical return of Christ, and The Final Judgment.

Transcribe →The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith (ft. @DrSteveTurleyTV)
Aug 1901:05:18Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Crosspolitic, we sat down with Dr. Steve Turley, known as the Patriot Professor, to discuss his new book "America Awakened: The Collapse of Globalism and the Return to Faith, Family, and Freedom" and the global rise of faith-based traditionalism. Dr. Turley argues that we're witnessing the collapse of the 300-year liberal secular era and the emergence of a new golden age rooted in nation, culture, custom, tradition, and faith. The conversation explores how this civilizational populism is manifesting through the rediscovery of manhood, the renewal of family structures, and the rise of decentralized networks that bypass legacy media. Dr. Turley shares encouraging data showing men are returning to faith at unprecedented rates and discusses how the current cultural moment presents an opportunity for Christians to build, lead, and transform their communities.

Transcribe →Housing: We Have A Plan (ft. Chris Carpenter & Jordan Clemans)
Aug 13, 202500:51:30Tap to summarizeIn this episode of CrossPolitic, hosts Gabe Knox and Toby sit down with real estate experts Jordan Clemans and Chris Carpenter from Story Real Estate to tackle the harsh realities of today's housing market. With interest rates at 6.5%, median home prices around $400,000 nationwide, and the average first-time homebuyer now 38 years old (compared to 22 in the 1950s), the American dream of homeownership feels increasingly out of reach. The guys break down how government intervention, Federal Reserve policies, and inflated expectations have created a perfect storm that's pricing out an entire generation. But it's not all doom and gloom. Jordan and Chris present a practical three-step framework for building generational wealth through real estate. The conversation also dives into Moscow's local housing challenges, the failure of government "affordable housing" solutions, and why community-based approaches work better than top-down bureaucratic fixes.
