The City of God

Modern Christian Persecution | Ep. 10

More and more, we’re seeing countless instances of Christians being targeted and arrested for simply living out their Christian beliefs in the public square. On this episode of the City of God, we take a look at the story of Mark Houck, a pro-life Christian who was unjustly terrorized by dozens of FBI agents at his house, in front of his entire family. Mark, and many others, are the targets of the weaponized Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland, who seemingly want to silence any dissenting opinion contrary to their own. 

Dr. Ben Carson | Ep. 9

Dr. Ben Carson is a world renowned neurosurgeon, influential political leader, and founder of the American Cornerstone Institute. Dr. Carson ran for president in 2016 and served as the secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development. On this episode of the City of God, Rob and John discuss the importance of teaching true history schools, the epidemic of fatherlessness in America, and the importance of the family.

The War on Truth | Ep. 8

There is a war being waged on truth. This comes from the idea of Gnosticism where there is no longer “the truth” but rather “my truth”. This war on truth has spawned the idea of intersectionality which comes from Marxist critical theory and is applied to race, sex, gender, nationality, and a host of other categories. On this episode of The City of God, Rob and John discuss how dangerous this attack on truth is and the dire consequences we face as a culture if we don’t hold to the Biblical understanding of truth.

Stephen Mansfield | Ep. 7

Stephen Mansfield is a New York Times bestselling author who writes about history, modern culture, religion and men's issues. He is also an international speaker and a seasoned speaking coach to many top politicians, and executives. On this episode of The City of God Podcast we dive into how faith has shaped some of the greatest leaders of our time, the importance of manhood in our society, and how Christians must engage the culture around them.

Rewriting Our History | Ep. 6

Recently, the publishers of the beloved children’s author Roald Dahl, released new editions of his books that have been rewritten by “sensitivity experts” with the purpose of making them less offensive and more inclusive. There is concern that these edits could set a precedent, where works can be altered in response to an ever-shifting cultural climate. In this episode, Rob and John discuss how this is all part of the Neo-Marxist playbook to rewrite history and take control of the language.

Patrick Bet-David Pt. 2 | Ep. 5

Patrick Bet-David is a successful entrepreneur and a highly-regarded thought leader in our culture today. In part 2 of our interview with PBD on the City of God, we discuss parental rights in education. Why does the radical left want to raise our children and keep parents out of the loop? We also discuss the battle for America, and how we need civility now more than ever.

Patrick Bet-David Pt. 1 | Ep. 4

Patrick Bet-David is one of the most influential people in our culture today. From a humble beginning as a young immigrant escaping war-torn Iran with his parents, to founding his own company, Patrick has gained a first-hand understanding of what rags-to-riches means. Patrick is passionate about shaping the next generation of leaders by teaching thought-provoking perspectives on entrepreneurship and disrupting the traditional approach to a career. In Part 1 of our interview, Patrick delves into many topics, such as his entrepreneurial spirit, his conversion to Christianity, the importance of family, and a myriad of other topics.

Christian Cultural Engagement | Ep. 3

Many Christians tend to shy away from areas such as politics, law, economics, and entertainment, because they consider it too worldly. Prominent evangelical preachers have told us that such pursuits have nothing to do with the Kingdom of God and our focus should be on merely preaching the gospel. Lauren Cooley joins The City of God podcast this week to talk about Christian cultural engagement and her efforts to help Christians get involved at the Institute for Faith and Culture.
