Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastDraining the SwampPresident Trump ran on the promise of "draining the swamp." House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed this priority, promising to "roll back the totalitarian, fourth branch of the government known as the administrative state." Until you know just how deep and wide this swamp is, you'll never understand the magnitude of the task before them. While there is much work to be done, there are many signs we are moving in the right direction. We talk about it all in our podcast today!

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 115Today on the Ron Jonson Discipleship Podcast: Sex used to be something we DID. It was a behavior. Today sex is who we ARE. It has become an identity. To be human is to be sexual. Witness the ever-expanding LGBTQ+ identities and you get an idea of the impact of this radical shift in understanding what it means to be human. Who is responsible for this idea? And what about the current push to sexualize our children. Drag queen story hours, transgender ideology and sex education being introduced to kindergarteners?! Where did all of this come from? Tune in...2022-08-0437 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 114Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: On today's episode we examine the ideas of another madman, Friedrich Nietzsche. As one who boldly declared, "God is dead," Nietzsche was bold enough to connect the dots between God's passing and the powerful implications of that idea. If we have no Creator, we are free to create ourselves. We are our own masters. Morality is a myth. The self-expressive, free spirited rebel is the new superman of the cosmos. We can be whoever we want to be and answer to no one. The spirit of Nietzsche is everywhere in America today.2022-07-2833 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 112Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: The SCOTUS overturn of Roe is just the beginning of the battle for life! Now the decision is in the hands of the people. It's time for you and I to be seen and heard. Please plan on attending one or both of the pro-life rallies we highlight on the podcast. Also, today we highlight the ideas of two men, Rene Descartes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who paved the way for our contemporary culture of "expressive individualism." What were the radical ideas they popularized and how do they square with the Scriptures? Tune...2022-07-1438 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 110Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Ideas have consequences, and so do elections. In the last several weeks, we've witnessed several major SCOTUS rulings supporting religious liberty and life! Important issues like the sanctity of life, public prayer, school choice and religious liberty have all won in the highest court because people of faith chose to engage in the public arena. Today we pause to celebrate the great things the Lord is doing in America! Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co 2022-06-3039 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 109Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Today we discuss the concept of what philosopher Charles Taylor called "the social imaginary." It describes how people think about the world, how they imagine it to be, and how they intuitively act in it. It helps us understand how our larger culture comes to embrace certain lifestyles and ideas which Christians find sinful. We'll examine two radically different ways people think about the world and how each profoundly impacts our understanding of identity and meaning.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 108Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: We hear a lot today about being true to one's self. Authenticity is achieved by acting in accordance with one's inner feelings. We are told to reject cultural norms or outside sources of authority. Self is the new king! And unfortunately, this "king" is an absolute tyrant and community life becomes impossible. Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co 2022-06-1633 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 107Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Many of our current cultural battles can be traced back to our differing views of "self." What is our modern understanding of "self" and how did we arrive here? How does the modern view of self differ from the understanding of previous generations? American culture has been described by the term "expressive individualism." Is this a good or bad thing? Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co 2022-06-0935 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 106Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: We begin an exciting discussion of Carl Trueman's book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self. Trueman analyzes the development of the sexual revolution in light of our human search for identity. What is our modern understanding of "self" and how did we arrive here? We travel down the ideological path of how the person became a self, how the self became sexualized and how sex became politicized. And like the sons of Issachar, our goal will be to understand the times so that we can be agents of healing and...2022-06-0238 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 104Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Each week we try to joyfully proclaim the superiority of the Christian worldview! Jesus said that He came to bring us life to the fullest (John 10:10). If this is true, people should be able to see the difference in our lives. If there is no real difference, we must ask, "Why?" Join us this week as we talk about leaving Egypt and possessing our promised land. Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co 2022-05-1934 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 103Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: The only thing more shocking and infuriating than last week's SCOTUS leak has been the unhinged and unlawful response of the pro-death community. We have witnessed angry mobs yelling, screaming and making threats outside of the private residences of conservative justices. On Mother's Day church services were disrupted, church facilities vandalized and a pro-life pregnancy center were firebombed. The mob, which only weeks ago could not even come up with a working definition of a "woman," is now clamoring for "women's reproductive rights!" All of this highlights the absolute collapse of a...2022-05-1236 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 102Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: A massive victory for fair and balanced speech as the Elon Musk purchase of Twitter is finalized! The Left is worried that this signals the end of the world as we know it. Why are they so afraid? We talk about this and a host of other cultural bright spots on today's show. Also, we introduce an exciting new series called, "Hosting the Holy Spirit." How do we create an environment where the Holy Spirit feels welcomed? Why is this so important?

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 101Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: With a May Primary only a week away, we want to remind our listeners of the sacred duty we have as Americans to vote for those who seek the privilege of representing us. The Scriptures admonish us to vote for those who will rule in the fear of the Lord (2 Samuel 23:3). On today's podcast, we want to introduce you to Jennifer-Ruth Green who is running for Congress in District #1. This is an excerpt from a candidate meet and greet event we hosted at Living Stones Church on April 18, 2022. We hope it is...2022-04-2838 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 100Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: How fitting that on our 100th episode we celebrate the news that a federal judge has just liberated us from these ridiculous mask mandates! We talk about the problem of federal overreach, the leftist tendencies toward government control and intimidation, and most importantly, what we, as Americans, have learned over the past two years of media fueled fear and mass hysteria.2022-04-2137 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 99Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: The life, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus are historical events which provide a rock solid foundation for our comprehensive, Christian worldview. Jesus is the basis for freedom, forgiveness, justice & joy! Jesus modeled vulnerability in His interactions with people inviting them to be known and loved. As a result, He showed us how we could live free from shame's debilitating effects and how we, in turn, could help to set others free. On the cross, Jesus conquered shame by embracing it! And Jesus rose again to restore us to unhindered joy and...2022-04-1435 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 98Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas have terrible consequences. This is especially true with our ideas about God. When we believe a lie about God's nature, character and intentions, it leaves us and our children crippled. We discuss this principle as it is played out in the encounter King David has with Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth, in 2 Samuel 9. We then highlight how this principle is currently being played out in our society today as it relates to matters of gender, sexuality and life.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 97Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: The public spectacle known as the Oscars perfectly highlights the moral dumpster fire that results when Christ is rejected as Lord of life! Jesus is the Author of Truth and the foundation of Reality. When He is despised by the larger culture, everything comes apart at the seams. We touch on the Supreme Court confirmation hearings, the Oscars, NCAA sports, conspiracy theories and the definition of "woman" in this entertaining and enlightening podcast!

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 96Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Ideas have consequences. Bad ideas lead to tragic ends. We are currently witnessing the tragic results of transgender ideology. Biological females are paying the price. When the "Woman of the Year" is actually a man you begin to see the fruit of this evil lie. Those who speak out against this madness are being stripped of their first amendment rights of free speech. In addition, we continue our discussion of the debilitating effects of shame as we look to Jesus as the great shame killer! Find out more at https...2022-03-2439 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 95Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Immediately after Jesus was baptized, He was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Three times the devil began his attack with "If you are the Son of God." Satan's target - the identity of Jesus! Today we discuss three ways our adversary goes after our identity in Christ and we learn from Jesus how to resist him.

We talk about the tyranny in Canada, the Russian attack on Ukraine, and the important role the Church plays in bringing God's blessing to the world. We continue our series on SHAME...the Great Relationship Killer. Shame drives us into isolation and paralysis. If we fail to address our shame, the end result is disastrous.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 92Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: If our Canadian neighbors to the north are a picture of what's coming towards America, we have reason for great concern. Basic liberties are being trampled as Prime Minister Trudeau invokes the Emergencies Act to disband protestors. Tyranny is on full display.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 91Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: God wants to write an amazing story of redemption through our lives. Unfortunately, Satan seeks to hijack that vision with his own story. His main weapon of choice? SHAME. He separates us from God and from others. The result...ISOLATION. The antidote? COMMUNITY!2022-02-1744 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 87Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Today we talk about our Market Share ministry to business and community workers and the pending impact of the Supreme Court's decision on the Biden OSHA vaccine mandate on the business community and millions of Americans who will be impacted. Where are the Christian-owned businesses who are standing in opposition to this tyrannical overreach? Who will stand firm for freedom even if it means you risk financial profit? Is accommodation to tyranny a legitimate Chritian response? Why won't "Christian" businesses/organizations (i.e. hospitals and Christian colleges) stand strong for our unalienable...2022-01-2039 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 84Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: All counterfeit visions of redemption inevitably lead to despair and hopelessness. This is why America is dealing with a pandemic of loneliness and suicide. In today's episode, we discuss the relational starvation taking place today and explain why a dynamic, life-giving relationship with Christ and His Church are more necessary now than ever! Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co 2021-12-3039 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 83Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: The problem with counterfeit forms of redemption is that they inevitably lead to despair. The world becomes a cold, hostile, meaningless place. Life becomes pointless. Eventually pessimism and despair swallow everything. The modern "anti-hero" embraces the unyielding despair and defiantly rebels against it. The final act of defiance is suicide. Jesus has a better way! We'll talk about that in today's episode.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 82Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Western secularism rejected God and limited reality to the material. The result was a mechanistic cosmos devoid of any meaning, purpose or morality. Secularism creates a profound spiritual emptiness that must be filled with something. This explains why new age beliefs and eastern mysticism are so attractive to many. They offer "spirituality" without any demands or doctrines. While materialism says, "Nothing is God," new age mysticism says, "Everything is god!" Both are counterfeit forms of real redemption.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 81Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: One of the biggest forms of counterfeit redemption in America today is scientism, the belief that science will be our savior. Through our ever-increasing scientific and technological breakthroughs, we will save ourselves. We see this myth embodied in our current battle with the Covid pandemic where basically one man in a white lab coat is dictating public policy for over 330 million Americans all under the authority of "science." For the Christian, science and faith are not in conflict. In fact, it was the Christian worldview that laid the foundation for the scientific...2021-12-0238 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 80Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: With his book, Sexual Behavior and the Human Male, Alfred Kinsey launched the sexual revolution in America. His goal - to liberate sex from morality. He sought to convince Americans that all sexual behavior, in whatever form, was equal. In fact, uninhibited sexual expression was a form of redemption. For Kinsey and many Americans today, sexuality becomes the lens through which everything is filtered. Where did these ideas originate? And more importantly, what is the fruit of this counterfeit vision of redemption?2021-11-1836 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 79Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: When Christ is rejected as redeemer, someone or some ideology will take His place. In America today, we are witnessing the rise of the scientific socialist state promising government solutions to all of our problems. Each new crisis brings more government control and coercion. Mandates, fines, travel restrictions and cancel culture are the new "reality." Today we discuss the signs of neo-marxism in America and highlight the pain and chaos which are the inevitable results when the State pretends to be God.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 78Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Every worldview must explain how we got here, why we have problems, and what we can do to fix them.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 71Episode Notes Today on the Ron Johnson Discipleship Podcast: Are you God? We all know the correct answer to that question. However, many people go through life acting as if they are. They are the center of their own private universe, and their lives are marked by selfishness and self-centeredness.

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 60Episode Notes Today we discuss the fifth barrier to Christian cultural engagement, "scriptural relativism." We live in a culture that has traded authority for personal preference. This is especially deadly when this philosophy enters the Church of Jesus Christ. We are witnessing entire denominations committing institutional suicide as they allow the culture to shape the gospel instead of vice versa. The late Francis Schaeffer described our current problem: "the failure of the evangelical world to stand for truth as truth." The Church must have the courage to stand for God's Truth as we engage the culture. 2021-07-0800 min

Ron Johnson Discipleship PodcastEpisode 59Episode Notes We discuss barrier #4 to cultural engagement, Christian Compartmentalism. Secularists in America have promoted a twisted interpretation of "the separation of Church and State, to force individual Christians to privatize all expressions of faith. Christianity is reduced to just a personal experience applying to one's private life. The result is a faith that is both irrelevant and impotent. It's time to cast off this false dualism and to boldly declare Jesus Christ as Lord of all! Find out more at https://ron-johnson-discipleship-podca.pinecast.co 2021-07-0152 min
