The Gospel of Crime PodcastThe AI Debt Trap and the Looming Tech BailoutOur podcasters examine the staggering financial costs and questionable commercial viability of the current artificial intelligence boom. While major technology firms are projected to spend nearly $700 billion on infrastructure by 2026, these massive expenditures are currently straining cash flows and causing significant market volatility. Despite the impressive technical capabilities of generative models, a vast majority of businesses are failing to see a tangible return on investment, leading many to abandon their AI initiatives. The podcast suggests that the industry is currently fueled by speculative betting rather than sustainable business models, drawing parallels to the dot-com bubble. Furthermore, there is a growing con...

Our podcasters explores the internal conflict that arises for believers when their theology, which maintains that God is good, clashes with the reality of seeing wicked people prosper while the righteous suffer. He explains how the psalmist, Asaph, nearly lost his faith due to envy of the ungodly until he entered the sanctuary of God and received a divine revelation. This perspective shift allowed our podcasters to emphasize that earthly success for the wicked is a temporary setup for destruction, whereas the...
2026-02-1212 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastBible Study: Why Paul Fought the Jesus Plus PlanThis podcast details a religious study focused on Galatians 4 and 5, where our speakers explores the theological contrast between divine grace and the Mosaic law. Using the biblical figures Isaac and Ishmael as an allegory, the text explains that believers are children of promise rather than servants to legalistic rituals. The discussion emphasizes that Abraham’s decision to rely on his own efforts in Egypt led to long-term conflict, mirroring the error of the Judaizers who insisted on circumcision for salvation. Ultimately, the podcasters argue that adding human requirements to the gospel nullifies the sacrifice of Christ and entangles the church in bond...

The episode serves as a sobering analysis of scriptural warnings against deceptive reassurances and spiritual complacency during times of impending judgment. By utilizing King James Version scripture from prophets like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, the hosts argue that false messages of safety are more dangerous than open evil because they disable the conscience. A segment featuring a caller named Roslyn highlights the theological idea that people often demand "smooth things" rather than difficult truths. Ultimately, the source frames superficial gospel messages as spi...
2026-02-0714 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 26: The Judgment Oracle Offers No PityThis podcast explores the theological transition from divine silence to the delivery of a judicial verdict. Through various biblical citations, the podcast explains that a judgment oracle serves as an official announcement of consequences rather than an invitation to negotiate. Our talk show hosts argue that humanity often mistakes God’s patience for approval, leading to a false sense of security within religious institutions. By referencing prophets like Ezekiel and Jeremiah, the text highlights that divine justice focuses on the breach of relationship and the refusal to obey. Ultimately, the source warns that while repentance remains possible, the window for avoiding...

2026-02-0420 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastBible Study: Gambling with More Than MoneyThis podcast examines the spiritual and social dangers of gambling through a lens of biblical teachings and modern examples. The podcasters argue that wagering is a trap rooted in greed, contrasting the pursuit of "quick riches" with the Christian values of diligent labor and contentment.

Furthermore, this podcast highlights the predatory nature of the industry, noting that the "house always wins" while players often fall into a cycle of addiction and debt. Ultima...
2026-02-0418 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastBible Study: The Trust Fund ToddlerThis podcast is a Christian Bible study focusing on the fourth chapter of Galatians.

Using the metaphor of a child under a guardian, the discussion clarifies how believers become heirs of God rather than servants to religious rituals. The lesson further addresses the historical tension with Judaizers and uses the biblical figures Hagar and Sarah to illustrate the difference between human works and divine promise. Ultimately, the session emphasizes that salvation is an eternally secure gift of grace that r...
2026-02-0216 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 25: God's Silence Is Active JudgementThis podcast outlines a theological podcast episode centered on the concept of divine silence as a form of spiritual retribution. The hosts argue that when individuals or institutions repeatedly ignore divine warnings, they face a "famine" of guidance where God eventually ceases to communicate. By referencing biblical figures like King Saul and passages from Romans and Amos, the podcast illustrates that this withdrawal of light is a direct consequence of persistent disobedience. The narrative warns that such silence is not merely an absence of sound, but a prelude to final judgment for those who refuse to repent. Ultimately, the King James...
2026-01-2916 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 24: When the Supreme Court Becomes the HitmenThis podcast The Gospel of Crime examines the biblical account of Stephen the Martyr through the lens of judicial and spiritual injustice. Hosts Wally and Ree analyze how false testimony and religious hypocrisy were weaponized to transform a peaceful testimony into a capital crime. By recounting Stephen’s speech before the council, the podcasters highlight a transition from legal procedure to mob violence fueled by the accusers' refusal to accept uncomfortable truths. The discussion emphasizes that the execution of Stephen represents a broader pattern of spiritual rejection, where systems meant to uphold righteousness are instead used to justify murder. Ultimately, the pod...
2026-01-2817 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 23: Outlasting the JudgeThis podcast The Gospel of Crime examines the biblical Parable of the Persistent Widow to explore the intersection of divine justice and human corruption. Hosts Wally and Ree analyze how a vulnerable woman successfully pressures an unethical judge into granting her legal relief through sheer tenacity and endurance. Rather than focusing on moral reform, the discussion highlights how the judicial system's failure is overcome not by the judge’s character, but by the widow's refusal to quit. The dialogue serves as a metaphor for unwavering faith, contrasting a negligent earthly authority with a righteous God who responds to the cries of his peopl...
2026-01-2813 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 22: Breaking Protocol for a CrumbOur podcasters analyze the biblical accounts of the Syrophoenician woman and the divine order of Jesus’ earthly ministry. Initially, Christ focused his mission on the "lost sheep of Israel," requiring that his own household and covenant people be addressed before the message expanded. This priority is echoed in later pastoral epistles, which emphasize that spiritual leadership must begin with order and integrity within one’s own family. However, the humility and persistence of the Gentile woman, who requested even the "crumbs" of God’s mercy, served as a prophetic turning point. Her exceptional faith foreshadowed the Great Commission and the eventual inclus...
2026-01-2518 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 21: The Heritage HeistThis podcast outlines a faith-based perspective on the sanctity of human life, asserting that children are a divine gift rather than a social burden. Drawing heavily from biblical scripture, our speakers argue that life begins at the moment of conception and is personally fashioned by a Creator. Consequently, this podcast condemns modern practices such as abortion, IVF, and birth control, viewing them as interference with God's original design for family and reproduction. By referencing the teachings of Jesus and historical figures like Theodore Roosevelt, the podcast encourages believers to view a large family as a source of strength and a fulfillment...
2026-01-2519 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastBible Study: Paul Dismantles the Jesus Plus PlanThis podcast focuses on the third chapter of Galatians. Our hosts explains Paul’s theological argument to the Galatian churches, emphasizing that salvation is achieved through faith in Jesus Christ alone rather than adherence to the Mosaic law. To prove this point, the text highlights the example of Abraham, noting that he was considered righteous by God because of his belief long before the ritual of circumcision was established. Our hosts further argue that the law serves as a "schoolmaster" to reveal human flaws and point believers toward a Savior. Ultimately, the lesson asserts that faith creates a spiritual unity that transce...
2026-01-1813 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 20: The Hit On Elijah: Jezebel and Juniper TreesThis podcast features a sermon centered on First Kings 19, exploring the moment the prophet Elijah succumbs to exhaustion and requests that God take his life. Our hosts highlight that despite Elijah’s previous spiritual victories, he fell into a pity party and deep discouragement due to the threats of Queen Jezebel. By connecting this narrative to Philippians 4:13, the hosts argue that "doing all things through Christ" refers to maintaining spiritual zeal regardless of external hardships or physical health. The message emphasizes that divine purpose is not determined by an individual's feelings of being "finished," noting that God ultimately denied Elijah’s req...
2026-01-1816 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 19: Fire on Trial: Elijah vs. the Prophets of BaalThe podcast The Gospel of Crime examines the biblical confrontation between the prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal as a legal trial regarding spiritual fraud. Hosts Wally and Ree describe how a divine challenge involving fire on Mount Carmel was designed to expose the divided loyalties of the Israelite people. While the miraculous fire served as undeniable evidence of God's power, our hosts argue that the true crime was the nation's persistent indecision and refusal to act on the truth. The episode concludes by linking this event to the sacrifice of Christ, suggesting that clear evidence of grace still requires a...

Dyskusja wyjaśnia, że apostoł Paweł opowiadał się za teologią „Jezus plus nic”, sprzeciwiając się poglądowi, iż prawo Mojżeszowe — takie jak obrzezanie — było konieczne do odkupienia. Aby wyjaśnić pozornie niespójną decyzję Pawła o obrzezaniu Tymoteusza, lecz nie Tytusa, mówca podkreśla koncepcję kulturowej adaptacji dla dobra skutecznej służby. Posługując się współczesnymi analogiami dotyczącymi obrączek ślubnych i wysokich obcasów, nauczyciel ilustruje, w jaki s...

Central to this creed is the idea that salvation is available to everyone through faith alone, a gift that can never be lost once received. Additionally, the text explicitly repudiates other world religions and certain Calvinist doctrines, such as the predestination of the damned. Ultimately, the source serves as a formal declaration...
2026-01-1212 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastRenee Nicole GoodIn January 2026, Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during a confrontation in Minneapolis. While federal officials claim the officer acted in self-defense after Good’s vehicle moved toward him, video evidence and witness analysis suggest the officer may have fired from the side of the car. Administrative leaders have labeled Good’s interference with enforcement as domestic terrorism, yet her family maintains she was a devoted mother and peaceful neighbor who simply sought to support her community. The narrative highlights a sharp contrast between the government’s portrayal of a hostile agitator and a fa...
2026-01-1011 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 18: When Authority Refuses to Act: The Crime of EliThe podcast The Gospel of Crime examines the biblical narrative of Eli, a high priest whose refusal to discipline his corrupt sons led to a national catastrophe. While Eli’s children, Hophni and Phinehas, engaged in blatant spiritual and moral abuses, Eli offered only verbal rebukes rather than assertive restraint. Our hosts argue that this leadership failure was rooted in a preference for personal comfort and family loyalty over divine obedience. Consequently, the text illustrates how willful inaction by those in authority acts as a catalyst for widespread institutional decay and judgment. By contrasting Eli’s passivity with the active justiceof Je...
2026-01-1010 minThe Gospel of Crime PodcastEpisode 17: The Silent Trumpet: Blood Guilt and the Failed WatchmanThe Gospel of Crime podcast explores the biblical concept of the watchman and the grave consequences of spiritual negligence. By referencing the Prophet Ezekiel, our hosts argue that religious leaders have a divine mandate to warn others of impending danger or moral collapse. The text emphasizes that while a messenger cannot control how people respond, they incur "blood guilt" if they choose silence over difficult truths. Using various scriptural examples, the dialogue frames pastoral cowardice and the refusal to address sin as a form of criminal failure. Ultimately, the source serves as a call for accountability and courage, asserting that a lea...
