The Gary DeMar PodcastMr. Cameron's EschatologyBible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 39 Rick Welch takes over the Gary DeMar Podcast and interviews Kirk Cameron. Kirk has been very active lately in helping to promote American history, family values, and an optimistic world-and-life-view. Formerly known as a teen actor and "the Left Behind Guy," Kirk details some of the influences that have helped inform and guide his current work.2025-05-0919 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThoughts on Revelation 20Bible Prophecy Under the Microscope-Episode 38 Gary sits down with his friend Robert Cruickshank at the recent Berean Bible Conference. The two answer a listener question about Revelation 20, which is a very difficult chapter. However, as Gary points out, nearly every eschatological "system" assumes this chapter says much more than it actually does. Gary and Bob try to keep it real and biblical. 2025-05-0231 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Return of the Three QuestionsGary responds to recent criticism that resurrects the "Three Questions Controversy" from 2023 and accuses Gary of promoting "full preterism." While the tactics of the accusers remain the same, the exegetical proof that Gary has been demanding (not just pointing to a creed) remains missing. The critics do not even agree among themselves and continually hide behind creedal statements, yet refuse to interact with the biblical time statements.2025-04-0737 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastActual Gary vs. AI GaryGary continues his conversation with Kevin Barber about technology and artificial intelligence. Kevin reveals a tool he made for American Vision, which can be found at www.AmericanVision.ai. Using open source AI software, Kevin created a chatbot that learned to think using only Gary DeMar books and it is ready and waiting to answer all your Bible prophecy and eschatology questions right now.2025-04-0229 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTo Have Children or Not to Have Children?Gary discusses recent articles about immigration and birth rates. So called anti-natalists put the welfare of the planet over the welfare of humanity, but they are seldom willing to rid the planet of themselves first. Gary calls materialistic "science" into the argument to point out the hypocrisy.

Gary's point has consistently been that a real exchange needs to happen between different views regarding certain elements of Bible prophecy that some (like Ken Gentry) insist have been "settled." The same hermeneutic that informs partial preterism is being used by others to defend consistent, or full, preterism.2025-02-0335 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGary's State of the UnionGary discusses the current state of the country now that President Trump has taken office. Many of the things Trump is doing in his first week in office are positive and following through on campaign promises, but some are still nitpicking his every move. Gary tries to bring some historicity, rationality, and biblical worldview to the situation.2025-01-2928 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastVictim's Rights and Prophecy WarsGary discusses two new books now available from American Vision, Gary's North's Victim's Rights and Gary DeMar's newest book Prophecy Wars. These two have more in common than might be apparent to many, but both are essentially apologetic works about controversial topics about the Bible.2025-01-1325 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGreat Christmas Movies (Part Two)Gary continues speaking with Rick Welch of The Burros of Berea podcast about Christmas movies. Gary gives a lot of background information about several more films, including Die Hard, Home Alone, and The Three Godfathers. These older films are often dismissed as being "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics).

Gary gives a lot of background information about the two films discussed in this first part (Beyond Christmas and It's a Wonderful Life). These older films can often be dismissed as "out of touch," but Gary shows that this is far from the truth. They are great lessons about both life and history (among other topics).

Gary discusses the book, the series, and what Kim calls the "meta-hermeneutic" of the New Testament (p. 13). Why did Paul write letters and Luke write "historical documents?" Each writing had a particular motivation behind it and we must take this into consideration when interpreting them. Get Volume 2 here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/the-hope-of-israel-and-the-nations-volume-22024-10-0926 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGet Yourself EducatedAfter giving a quick reminder about the historical reality of hurricanes and flooding (not making them proof of either Bible prophecy or climate change), Gary interacts with a recent clip from Charlie Kirk. A questioner asks Kirk about "common law" and America's founding, and Charlie's response is impressive and very much in line with what Gary and American Vision have taught for decades. Get Gary's book The Case for America's Christian Heritage here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/case-for-americas-christian-heritage2024-10-0740 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe End Times and the Church FathersGary reviews a book by Ken Johnson called "The End Times and the Ancient Church Fathers." Johnson's argument is that the early church fathers believed and taught a similar end times view to modern-day dispensationalists. Gary disagrees and contrasts Johnson's book and views with the truth of Scripture.

Gary points out that a biblical worldview was essentially assumed in both Britain and the United States for many years, but that worldview is steadily eroding. Note: Gary's recording is rough in several places.2024-07-1522 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGary and the Resistance Chicks (Part Two)Gary continues his discussion with the Resistance Chicks about biblical eschatology. Heaven and earth language in the Bible causes many people to think of cosmic bodies out in space, but is this what is really meant? Would first century hearers have understood these words in this way? The conversation leads to a different understanding of current world events and cultural optimism. The entire interview can be viewed here: https://rumble.com/v4zof46-revelation-redpill-ep59.html2024-07-0527 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGary and the Resistance Chicks (Part One)Gary is interviewed by the Resistance Chicks about eschatology and Bible prophecy. The conversation goes into many different areas of related topics and lasts for nearly two and a half hours. This first excerpt deals with an overview of preterism, historicism, the Reformation, and much more. The entire interview can be viewed here: https://rumble.com/v4zof46-revelation-redpill-ep59.html2024-07-0325 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Man of Sin was Alive in Paul's DayGary responds to a recent podcast critiquing aspects of his interpretation of Bible prophecy. One of Steve Deace's producers (Aaron McIntire) has his own "Ask Me Anything" show and answered a question about why he was not convinced by Gary's view of the man of lawlessness. Gary gives further exegesis for his own first-century fulfillment view.

As we age, it is very important to keep active and fit, despite most activities for older people being mostly sedentary. A biblical worldview is not only for the mind; it should also affect how we live, exercise, and eat.2024-04-2621 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGumming Up the SystemGary discusses tactics of Christian resistance that can be learned from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Scotland has recently made reporting "hate speech" easier and they are being inundated with cases. Author J. K. Rowling has even gotten involved. It all reminded Gary of an article written by Dr. Gary North years ago. Get the Christianity and Civilization four-volume PDF set here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/the-complete-christianity-and-civilization2024-04-2228 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWe're Already in God's KingdomGary continues discussing Pastor MacArthur's recent comments about Christian Nationalism. He seems to be confused about what most Christian Nationalists are actually saying, and overcorrects his mistaken assumptions with extreme defeatist language. He says "we lose down here." Gary says no, we have already won, thanks to the completed mission and work of Jesus Christ.2024-03-1324 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastChristians and Christian NationalistsGary expands a bit on a recent article he wrote called "Christians in the Crosshairs." Christian Nationalism has a much longer history than most people realize, although the definition has remained basically the same. In essence, anyone that wants their Christian faith to influence every area of life are suspect and considered to be Christian Nationalists. Gary sets the record straight. The article can be read here: https://americanvision.org/posts/christians-in-the-crosshairs/2024-03-0625 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastRedefining Crime to Stop CrimeGary responds to a recent statement by attorney Ben Crump about redefining crime to help cut down on the targeting of blacks for criminal activity. Following in the steps of critical theory, Crump is falling right into the trap of the eternal victimhood of blacks everywhere in America. Gary responds and also quotes from Dr. Carol Swain's answer to Crump.2024-02-2821 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastA Worldview of Optimism and VictoryGary interviews his longtime friend, Kirk Cameron, about how he came to embrace a new view of Christianity and the world. Kirk explains how he met Marshall Foster, how he came in contact with Gary DeMar, and what he is doing now. Spoiler Alert: He is taking his victorious Christian faith to the streets and libraries near you.2024-02-1636 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Legacy of Rousas J. RushdoonyGary interviews the late Dr. Gary North about his own personal history and how he came to know and be mentored by Dr. Rousas Rushdoony. North and Rushdoony heavily influenced 20th century theology with their voluminous books about a great deal of topics. The legacy of Rushdoony is still being felt today, more than 60 years after his first book was published in 1959.2024-02-0945 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhat Holds it All Together?Reality and "truth" are being fragmented by modern political and social efforts and promulgated through the internet and social media. Non-Christian beliefs don’t and can’t offer anything in terms of a comprehensive worldview. On this repeat of a previous episode from 2021, the late Dr. Gary North joins Gary DeMar on today's episode with a discussion about today's fragmented world.2024-02-0723 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe World is Spinning Out of ControlGary responds to a recent article by Pastor Robert Jeffress in Dallas, Texas about the world looking like it's getting very close to the "end." The biblical passages used by Pastor Jeffress have been used by nearly every generation to prove that their generation was living in the "last days." Jeffress also uses 2 Timothy 3, which Gary takes time to answer in detail. Get David Chilton's The Great Tribulation here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/the-great-tribulation2024-02-0225 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTaking Dominion of the EarthGary discusses the concept of dominion and what it means. Many get upset by the word and the implications of man "dominating" the earth and other people, but what Gary points out is that dominion is an inescapable concept; there's always someone seeking to impose their idea of dominion on your and your family. Read the articles here: https://americanvision.org/posts/dominion-an-inescapable-concept/ and here: https://americanvision.org/posts/biblical-dominion-comes-by-obedience-and-service/ 2024-01-3126 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastIsrael's Hope is For the NationsGary summarizes the initial two podcasts from the Covenant Hermeneutics and Biblical Eschatology series with Kim Burgess. Now that the first volume of the book is available, this recap was due for a re-run. While many people were enthused and appreciative of the interviews, others have taken issue with them. Gary explains the theological method of reading and interpreting the Bible on its own terms and some questions that arise from reading Scripture in light of Scripture. Get the book here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/the-hope-of-israel-and-the-nations2023-12-2725 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThis Generation or This Brood?One from the archives. Gary answers an interesting question that was submitted to another podcast. The question is tied to Jesus' words in Matthew 24 about "this generation" and the Pharisees as "brood of vipers" in Matthew 23. This question, which Gary had never heard before, caused a lot of discussion on the show and revealed that far from questioning the timestamp of Matthew 24:34, it actually confirms it even more. Note: This was originally recorded in Dec 2021, when Dr. Heiser was still actively posting podcasts. He died in February 2023 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.2023-12-1129 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Beast in the BunkerStill in his basement, Gary answers a listener question about the "number of the beast," Nero, and Titus. The listener asks about Pastor Phillip Kayser's view that while Nero could be a candidate, he believes the Roman General (and later Emperor) Titus works better for 666. Gary discusses this and much more about this most notorious number from Revelation 13 (and 1 Kings 10). Gary's article on this topic: https://americanvision.org/posts/the-beast-and-his-number/ Phil Kayser's article: https://biblicalblueprints.com/Sermons/New%20Testament/Revelation/Revelation%2013/Revelation%2013-16-182023-12-0626 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAmerica's Christian Heritage (Part Two)Gary concludes his interview with Rick Welch from The Burros of Berea podcast. Rick read Gary's book, The Case for America's Christian Heritage, and wanted to talk about it and some of the interesting and important events and figures in American history. We can't understand our current state until we understand where we have been as a nation. (Part Two of Two) Get the book here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/case-for-americas-christian-heritage2023-11-2458 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAmerica's Christian Heritage (Part One)Gary is interviewed by Rick Welch from The Burros of Berea podcast. Rick read Gary's book, The Case for America's Christian Heritage, and wanted to talk about it and some of the interesting and important events and figures in American history.

In this first part, Gary deals with Ms. Walsh's lead-up to the interview, which is based on Pastor Jeremiah's new book, The Great Disappearance, which is based on... wait for it... the rapture of the church.2023-11-0821 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastBut Things Are Different NowGary responds to a recent interview between Glenn Beck and Max Lucado about the state of the world and the war between Israel and Hamas. Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39 are brought up as evidence that this current war is a key indicator that the "end is near" (again). Gary refutes this view (again) with history and biblical exegesis.2023-11-0617 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastIgnoring Biblical HistoryGary discusses a new article by Greg Laurie that makes the (same old) argument that modern events "could be" fulfilling biblical prophecies. As Gary makes clear, writers and pastors like Laurie ignore the actual events and actual countries in the Bible that are actual fulfillments of the ancient prophecies in order to make them fit our own day. This is not how exegesis or hermeneutics should be done.2023-10-1331 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Gaetzful 8 and Political ChristiansGary discusses the recent ousting of Speaker McCarthy and what political writer Jason Whitlock calls the "Gaetzful 8." Whitlock compares the 8 to Gideon's 300 and the idea of the remnant. Pastors are also (slowly) beginning to wake up and get vocal. All good things, but we must always be mindful of history, as Gary is quick to point out. Read Jason Whitlock's article here: https://www.theblaze.com/fearless/oped/whitlock-the-gaetzful-eight-provide-a-blueprint-for-how-we-fight-the-global-elite2023-10-0627 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastGood News in the NewsGary highlights a few recent news articles that are actually encouraging. Most major news stories are negative and stories that do not support the mainstream narrative are usually buried. Never fear though, Gary has done the searching and the researching so you can be encouraged too.2023-10-0225 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastChristian AtheismGary deals with an argument making the rounds on social media about Biblical Law. In keeping with the "carnal Christian" debate that was popular in the 1990s, a new group of Christians are positing a similar argument about Old Testament law being "done away with" by Jesus on the cross. Every "position" has some sort of law, and this one is no different. As Gary points out, it's very similar to the "borrowed capital" argument that atheists rely on to make their own case.2023-09-2727 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastScoffers and the Last DaysGary continues his response to Answers in Genesis' Ken Ham. Ham uses 2 Peter 3 to show that we are in the "last days." This has been done time and time again, and every time it has been shown to be wrong. Peter was speaking about events of his own day in the first century, not about the state of the culture or the church in our day. Read the article by David Chilton and Gary DeMar on 2 Peter 3 here: https://americanvision.org/3603/what-does-peter-mean-by-the-passing-away-of-heaven-and-earth-a-study-of-2-peter-3/2023-09-2523 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastDon't Tread on UsGary discusses a recent dust-up at a school in Colorado regarding the Gadsden Flag. Administrators at the school told a student that he needed to remove a Gadsden patch from his backpack because it was a racist symbol. Gary sets the record straight. Note: Listen all the way to the end to hear an update from Gary about this controversy at the school.2023-09-0129 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastLast Days 'Fables'Gary responds to an author that claims to refute his book, Last Days Madness. The author makes similar arguments to those that have been made by various dispensationalists over the years, but his novel modification of the translation of Matthew 24:34 inspired Gary to interact directly.2023-08-1132 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhy You Should Consider a Side BusinessGary interviews a friend from his church about advice Dr. Gary North gave him to set himself up in a business while still holding on to his existing job. As usual, Dr. North's advice is very helpful and encouraging. His point about China is spot on. Parents need to be teaching their children (and themselves) how to do things on their own and how to diagnose and fix problems. As Luke shows, it's a skill that will continue to reap rewards.2023-07-2435 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastFirst Things FirstIn this final part of his interview with Dr. Gary North, Gary DeMar asks what can be done right now. What should concerned Christians be doing to stop the seemingly overwhelming tide of governmental increase and tyranny? How can/should the Church respond?2023-07-1924 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAn Action ImperativeIn this first part of a three-part interview, Gary DeMar talks with Dr. Gary North about the need for Christians to take action. The research and study has all been done. The books and newsletters have all been written. More information isn't necessary; action is what is needed now.2023-07-1422 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastSmithsonian Magazine Defines a WomanGary discusses several recent new stories surrounding sex, gender, and ideology. The Left is getting downright insane in their defense of their political beliefs regarding these topics. So many different groups of people, including the Supreme Court, are finally speaking rationally when this Leftist irrationality is being propagated. Watch the Steve Harvey video here Read Gary's Supreme Court article here2023-07-1219 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTaking It to the Next GenerationGary discusses his trip to Mexico last week where he gave five talks about eschatology and Bible interpretation. The escapism and pessimism prevalent in the majority of theology in Mexico is largely due to the influence of missionaries from North America. The reception Gary received from these 50-60 pastors is evident of the massive need of "re-education" on eschatological issues to combat the improper interpretations of the future in other countries.2023-06-3022 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAbout to Be or Not About to Be?Gary discusses a recent statement from a well-known faith-healer on the issue of preterism. Andrew Wommack had an employee quit his ministry due to differences in eschatology. Wommack responds by appealing to Revelation 1:19, and Gary points out the problems with this, focusing on the Greek word "mello."2023-06-1429 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Censored InterviewGary discusses eschatology and worldview issues with Alex Newman. The interview was recorded but never published for reasons that Gary discusses in the leadup. Bible prophecy and cultural issues are closely tied together and many Christians still do not understand the connection. 2023-06-1221 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastI'm Glad They Were SchizophrenicGary discusses the death of Christian broadcaster Pat Robertson and the legacy he left behind. Like Jerry Falwell, Robertson was great when it came to mobilizing Christians and getting them to act about social issues, yet their eschatology was such that everything getting worse and worse was supposed to happen. Gary gives an example of an article that ran on the CBN website the day before Robertson died.2023-06-0930 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThere's Work to be DoneGary DeMar and Gary North highlight the deep need for a comprehensive biblical worldview. Official mainstream "narratives" are increasingly being doubted and shouted down, but the alternatives seldom agree either. Syncretism and fragmentation are the worldviews of the day and only true Christianity offers a complete world-and-life answer to modern (and not so modern) societal ills.2023-04-2417 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastEzekiel's Battle is HistoryGary interacts with a short video by Jack Hibbs discussing what's happening in the Middle East and claiming it's a fulfillment of Ezekiel 38 and 39, Gog and Magog. Hibbs claims that we're seeing Bible prophecy coming to pass before our eyes, but Gary disagrees, since the events spoken of by Ezekiel have already happened. Gog and Magog is way in the past. We don't have to fear world events because of Bible prophecy; they are bad enough on their own.2023-04-2134 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastA Short History of Theonomy's CriticsGary DeMar sat down with Dr. Gary North for an interview regarding theonomy, its critics, and its potential future. In this first part, Dr. North gives a high-level overview of the history of responses that have been leveled against theonomy for more than 40 years, and why they have never been very effective.2023-04-0514 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Vengeance of the LeftGary discusses the recent school shooting in Nashville and the "response" from the media and leftists. While we could expect outrage and denouncing of the shooter, what we get instead is sympathy and platitudes. Transgenders are getting more vigilant—and violent—in their reaction to what they believe is oppression. Gary warns that this is only the beginning, and that there will be much more to follow. Christians must get educated and involved.2023-03-3130 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Self-Appointed Emperors Have No ClothesGary discusses two recent news stories involving abortion and childbirth. Jane Fonda talked about murdering pro-lifers on a daytime talk show and Chuck Schumer's lesbian daughter just gave birth to his third grandbaby. Both situations reveal the hypocrisy of the liberal agenda, but we are expected to act as everything is normal. Gary takes the opportunity to point out the "nakedness of the emperor" on today's episode. Watch The Magical Birth Canal video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNgwsT295G82023-03-2725 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhy Christians Must be Involved in Civil GovernmentGary discusses a critic on Facebook that believes Christians should leave politics alone and not get involved. Gary points out that 1) this is not biblical, and 2) Christians must be involved to promote righteousness and punish evil. Just as the early church in the book of Acts called out the corruption of the leaders in their day, so must Christians today. It's not a top-down imposition of our will over theirs, it's a bottom-up approach of obedience in every area of life—including civil government.2023-03-2231 minThe Gary DeMar Podcast"But It's All So Simple"Part 3: Critics on Facebook keep telling Gary that the three questions are "so simple," which actually reveals they haven't studied the issue in any sort of depth. Gary responds by looking at a few of the Bible verses used in the "Unorthodox Eschatology" statement. They use 2 Peter 3, 1 Thessalonians 4, and 2 Thessalonians 1 as "end of the world" proof passages, but problems arise when you 1) read them in context, and 2) look at how some of the signers have interpreted these passages in contradictory ways. 2023-03-101h 04The Gary DeMar PodcastThings We Know and Things We Don'tPart 2: Since his first response was recorded, the letter sent to Gary has blossomed into an entire website with a condemnation of certain aspects of what the creators believe is "hyper-preterism." A few hundred individuals have signed it, but the most relevant part of the statement is that Scripture verses have finally been included, giving Gary a place to begin interacting with both the original three questions and the statement.2023-03-0841 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhat Does the Bible Teach?Part 1: Gary received a letter signed by several individuals looking for answers to three specific questions. In this first podcast of several, Gary gives his side of the "controversy" and why he won't simply answer their questions. A large part of the issue is how the questions are worded. The heart of the matter is what does the Bible teach, not what does Gary believe.2023-03-061h 01The Gary DeMar PodcastThe Jesus Movement and MovieGary discusses the current movie, Jesus Revolution, which tells the story of the Jesus Movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s. While not a review of either the movie or the movement, Gary laments the shallowness of what was taught (or not taught) by this captive audience of new believers more than 50 years ago. Had a comprehensive biblical worldview been taught, we may be in a completely different situation today.2023-03-0118 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastWhat Makes Something Valuable?Gary talks about his comic book collection and his decision to sell much of it to another collector. Gary talks a bit about the comic book industry and its history, as well as the concept of collecting and value as a whole. 2023-02-2432 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastSeparating Fact from FictionGary discusses movies, the end-times, and books. Rapture fever has returned, which makes a book Gary wrote in 2001 relevant once again. Left Behind: Separating Fact from Fiction is Gary's answer and response to the Left Behind craze from the 1990s, which resulted in several movies and a slew of promotional products. People have short memories, but they're still looking for the escape hatch from a "world gone mad." Unfortunately the Bible does not teach it. Get the book here: https://store.americanvision.org/products/left-behind-separating-fact-from-fiction2023-02-2028 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTo Serve ManGary discusses comments made at Davos 2023. The World Economic Forum honestly believes that they are the elite of the world with all the answers. John Kerry made the point that they are "almost extraterrestrial," in that they're here to save us from ourselves. This reminded Gary of an old TV show (of course) called the Twilight Zone and one of its episodes in particular.2023-02-1720 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastSecular FundamentalismGary was interviewed by Jay Rudolph on the Plumb Line radio program. Gary discussed several recent articles he wrote, as well as general worldview issues. Christians must understand that we are in a war of ideas and consequences, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.2023-02-1328 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAI and God's RevelationGary discusses a recent article about artificial intelligence and preaching by Russell Moore. The article raises many important points and Gary takes it in several different directions. AI only does what the programmer tells it to do and Christians need to learn and lead the way on using AI to promote and accurately proclaim the Gospel, rather than hiding from it in fear as an indicator of the "end times." Read the article here: https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/january-web-only/chatgpt-artificial-intelligence-ai-preach-sermons-church.html2023-02-0826 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAdam's Rib and Trans SportsGary discusses an interview he read with a female track and field athlete about what she believes would be the end of sports if transexuals are allowed to compete in opposite gender events. This interview made Gary think of a movie from 1949 called Adam's Rib with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. What do the two have in common? You'll need to listen to find out... Watch the clips of Adam's Rib here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZbXA4lyCtqrBFzMId1m8RrmetoS0KrhG2023-02-0326 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThinking Outside the CategoriesGary answers a listener question about resources that best represent and present the dispensational premillennial position. The listener wants to hear the best case for Dispensationalism, even though he has become increasingly convinced of postmillennialism. Gary shows how every position has a couple seemingly perfect Bible verses, but this is not how we should be reading and understanding the Bible as a whole.2023-01-2025 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastCastaways in a Suicidal CultureGary discusses an article on the Front Page Magazine website about the current state of craziness in western culture. Could all the political nonsense and cultural insanity be signals of the end of western civilization? If so, what should be the response of concerned Christians?

Gary relates a conversation he had with an individual that believed Hal Lindsey's book, The Road to Holocaust, was an accurate representation of what the Bible teaches about the history of the Jewish people. Dispensationalism teaches that an unthinkable extermination of millions of Jews is still yet to come.2022-10-1721 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Local Indicators in Matthew 24Christian futurists and atheists will often use the same mistaken arguments when dealing with Jesus' words in the Olivet Discourse. Gary discusses several claims in a recent book by an author who claims to be an atheist because of failed prophecies about the "end times." While his claims are nothing new, he does quote from and interact with Gary's book Last Days Madness, which led to this audio response. Get Gary's full exposition of Matthew 24, Wars and Rumors of Wars.2022-09-2823 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Values of Old MoviesGary discusses a newspaper article about old movies sent in from a listener. Gary's interest in movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood goes deep and this article rekindled his passion and sparked this episode. The classic films are not only fun (and usually clean) entertainment, they can (and should) be used to teach the Christian worldview. Get Gary's talk and outline about classic movies here.2022-09-1420 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastAn Ideological WarIn this first part of his interview with Dr. Steve Hotze, Gary discusses his book, God and Government, and the current political situation in America and around the world.

Click here for more information.2022-09-0222 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Failure of Christian SocialismThe recent passing of Ronald Sider is an opportunity for Gary to tell the sad history of Christian socialism in America. Acts 4-5 is often appealed to as an example of this, but as Gary points out, it was 1) voluntary, and 2) tied to the coming destruction of Jerusalem. Christians must not be manipulated into unproductive mindsets by academic and economic guilt peddlers. Get Gary North's book, Christian Economics in One Lesson.2022-08-0832 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe End of What Age?Gary discusses Dr. Michael Brown's recent article, "What Does the Bible Say About the End of the Age?"

Get Gary's book, Last Days Madness.2022-08-0541 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Anti-Morality of AbortionGary discusses recent comments coming from rabid pro-abortionists about their dissatisfaction with the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in June. Abortion advocates have no logical, scientific, or moral leg to stand on, yet they still can't stop running their mouths and showing everyone what they actually believe. Get Gary's book, Restoring the Foundation of Civilization.2022-08-0329 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastInflation and Revelation 6Gary discusses an economic statement made by a seminary professor surrounding economics and Revelation 6. This professor said that inflation will be much worse during what he believes is a future "great tribulation." Gary responds to both the economic and the biblical statements required by such a view.2022-08-0121 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastChurches and Worldview IssuesGary discusses several recent instances of Christians not being able to answer basic challenges to a biblical worldview. The Bible speaks about all of life, not only how to go to heaven or how to pray. God's law lays out the rules for society and how individual behavior affects a culture, for good and for bad. Christianity has answers for every objection that is brought against it, but most modern Christians have not been prepared and taught how to think biblically. Watch the Darwinist abortionist video here. Get Gary's book, Thinking Straight in a Crooked W...2022-07-2721 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Five-Point CovenantIn this rebroadcast, Gary DeMar sits down with the late Dr. Gary North for a discussion about the 5-point covenant model. Dr. North shows that the covenant is unavoidable and always flows out from the very first point: "Who's in Charge?" Every area of human life and responsibility can be viewed, taught, and understood through this covenant model.2022-07-2221 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastEvolution is a ReligionGary shows how to force unbelievers to live consistently with their stated anti-God beliefs. This is the wedge of apologetics known as presuppositionalism. Using Proverbs 26:4-5 as his text, Gary shows that 1) evolution is a religion, and 2) it cannot produce a morality short of "only the strong survive."2022-07-1542 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastDaniel 12 and the ResurrectionGary answers a listener question about Daniel 12 and the resurrection of the dead. Connecting various verses and passages from the Old and New Testaments, Gary shows that once again, the Bible is its own best interpreter. We must be careful to not bend the Bible to our own preconceived ideas, but conform our ideas to the Biblical text.

Click here for Ken Gentry's article on this topic.2022-07-1324 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastEschatology in MexicoGary recently returned from a Pastor's Conference in Mexico, where he spoke to a hundred pastors or so about eschatology.

Gary and David discuss two big topics currently in the media: abortion and mass shootings. Gary points out that every moral argument requires a foundational system and that the biblical worldview protects both the unborn child and the right to self-defense.2022-06-1025 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastNo Flesh Shall be SavedGary responds to a recent article that discusses Matthew 24:22. "Unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened." The article claims this is referring to all people on earth, but Gary points out the context and meaning that the verse is actually talking about. It's about the end of the age, not the end of the world.2022-05-2520 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastStick to Your KnittingGary is interviewed by Pastor Uri Brito about various topics and experiences he has had over more than 40 years in ministry. The two discuss Dr. Gary North, eschatology and many other subjects over the course of a half-hour conversation.2022-05-2331 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastYou're in Good CompanyGary responds to a recent video and emails he has received that were critical of his views on Matthew 24. Gary points out (again) that the these critical views are 1) nothing new, and 2) have been refuted hundreds of times by commentators writing centuries and centuries ago. Preterism is not new as some claim, and more importantly, it allows the Bible to interpret the Bible, rather than current events.2022-05-0926 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTerms that Shut Down DebateGary concludes his interview with Chris Arnzen on "Iron Sharpens Iron." Gary answers a question about 1 Thessalonians 4 and encourages Christians to be educated beyond "buzz words" that tend to shut down discussion, words like "Calvinism," "Arminianism," "Postmillennialism," "Hyper-Preterism," etc.2022-05-0619 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastTradition and Biblical LiteracyIn this first part of two, Gary is interviewed by Chris Arnzen on the "Iron Sharpens Iron" radio program about biblical understanding and denominational traditions. Many modern Christians seem to believe only what they have heard, but rarely know what the Bible itself says. Gary points out that asking questions can be useful in getting people to think outside their traditions.2022-05-0428 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastBiden's Resignation and Bible ProphecyGary discusses a recent article written by Scott Lively on WorldNetDaily. In the article, Lively bolsters his political views about the Biden presidency by speculating about Russia, Ukraine, and sensational interpretations of Bible prophecy. Gary points out that Lively's political arguments can stand on their own and don't need—and aren't helped by—appealing to dispensational "end times" prophetic scenarios. Read the article here.2022-04-1824 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastChristians Must Be InvolvedGary discusses Acts 16, where Paul appeals to his Roman citizenship to further his Gospel ministry. Being a Christian has real-world implications and we must be aware of these in order to be prepared in every situation. Gary wrote a book called Myths, Lies, and Half-Truths to combat the many excuses that Christians use to NOT be involved in modern controversies. In this first part of his talk, Gary begins defusing these excuses.2022-04-0833 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Bahnsen Trilogy of ApologeticsGary is interviewed by his friend Jerry Bowyer on his own podcast, Meeting of Minds. Jerry and Gary discuss presuppositional apologetics and Dr. Greg Bahnsen and the trio of his books recently published by American Vision. These three books are foundational to understanding the necessity of the Christian worldview. Logic and reason have no basis without first assuming the God of the Bible, His truth, and His moral declarations and definitions of reality. Get the Bahnsen Trilogy here: https://store.americanvision.org/a/bundles/bahnsen-trilogy-2yt02022-03-0921 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastCondemning This GenerationThis is the second part of Gary’s response to the online debate he had with Dr. Michael Brown about Matthew 24. What did Jesus mean when He said “This generation shall not pass away until all these things take place”? Futurists like Dr. Brown reinterpret this simple statement to basically mean “that generation,” meaning a generation far in the future from the one to whom Jesus was speaking in the first century. But this reinterpretation is fraught with problems and inconsistencies, as Gary points out.2022-03-0218 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastIsrael's Greater TribulationGary recently debated Dr. Michael Brown online about Matthew 24. Since not every issue and point can be fully addressed in an hour-long debate, Gary decided to record several follow-up podcasts about the debate in general, and Matthew 24 specifically. In this first one, Gary discusses the "great tribulation" in Matthew 24:21. Was the destruction of AD70 Israel's greatest tribulation or does it need to be repeated with even worse consequences? You can watch the debate here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2BzbL7kMoY.2022-02-2829 minThe Gary DeMar PodcastThe Gospel and the WorldGary responds to a recent podcast from pastor John Piper about the gospel going to the world. Pastor Piper is answering a question about what it means that the gospel had been preached to the "world" and to "every creature under heaven" in Colossians 1. In his answer, Piper compares Colossians 1 to Matthew 24:14, and looks at the Greek in Colossians but not in Matthew. Gary points out that eschatology affects our gospel and missionary presentations, as well as how the Bible itself is translated.2022-02-2126 min
