Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

What really took place on October 7th? Is Israel committing genocide in Gaza? Why is antisemitism increasing in the United States? Natalie Sanandaji survived the October 7th attack at the Nova Music Festival. She and EJ Kimball, the Director of Interfaith Outreach and Engagement, join Pastor Allen to share their personal experiences and insights into the ongoing fight against antisemitism. "We woke up to the sound of rockets,” Sanandaji said. “I looked to my Israeli friends, and I saw that they were calm. Unfortunately for Israelis, this is something they go through on a semi-regular basis. If we were one of the first ones to leave, I probably wouldn't be here today because a lot of the people who left first were met by those terrorists.” Listen to this thought-provoking, informative, and inspiring conversation that challenges our perceptions, demonstrates the necessity of forgiveness, and shows how we can stand against antisemitism.__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

"I've been able to amass over 300 million views by speaking out at school board meetings, really displaying and showing the insanity of what's going on," John Amanchuckwu told Pastor Allen in this podcast. "There have been several other victories, like flipping school boards, striking down a transgender policy in new Jersey, and removing dozens of pornographic books [from school libraries]." Amanchukwu is a pastor and a bold and passionate advocate for children, families, and truth. Often labeled a "book-banning pastor" and ironically accused of being a "white supremacist," John shares his journey of standing on the frontlines of the culture war. As you listen, you'll see how one godly man's unrelenting voice can usher truth and change into schools and communities across the nation.More Information:22 Words: Exposing the Loss of Decency in American Education: https://22wordsfilm.com/Hoodwinked: 10 Lies Americans Believe and the Truth That Will Set Them Free: https://a.co/d/e6HimAF__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

We witnessed a miracle as the 2024 election unfolded. In this podcast, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the election results and our pathway forward. “The platforms represented two very different worldviews, and they would have shaped our future profoundly—whichever one was selected,” he said. “It really felt to me like only God could have brought about the outcome we had.” Though the election season is over, our assignment is not finished. It’s time to thank God for His mercy and grace, and to look to Him for our next steps. Our nation continues to face many issues including abortion, the redefinition of marriage, gender confusion, and human trafficking. These all have a spiritual root, and they require a spiritual response from God's people. What do we do now? Everything we were doing before—seek God, read His Word, pray, fast, and choose to do what’s difficult. God has extended our opportunity to reach more people. He hears our cries, and He is answering our prayers!__It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture. It may feel like an impossible assignment, but there’s much we can do.

When faith, culture, and media intersect, it can create powerful stories that move people’s hearts. On this podcast, Pastor Allen talks with Dallas Jenkins (the creator, director, and co-writer of The Chosen) about his new movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Inspired by the classic book, Jenkins was moved to create the film while reading the story to his children. "The lesson [the children in the story] learn is that the gifts to the baby Jesus were not necessarily about what the baby Jesus needed. It was about them giving up something they had, something they loved, something they wanted, something of significance,” he explained to Pastor Allen. Jenkins discusses the challenges he faced in bringing this project to life. From moments of doubt to divine encouragement, he emphasizes the power of prayer and the importance of perseverance in the creative process. He also talks about how those lessons can be applied to our everyday lives. This encouraging podcast will help you lead with your faith and share the love of our Savior in your community this Christmas season.More Information:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever Trailer: https://youtu.be/6YlZgG4Vgpw?si=q59Hv4tLudXpWFi8__It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

What messages are shaping the beliefs and identities of our children? Dr. Carol Swain shares her testimony and personal experiences in academic institutions. Despite growing up in rural poverty in southern Virginia, she worked diligently and went on to receive her PhD and became a tenured associate professor of politics and public policy at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Dr. Swain grew up with a firm belief that she could do anything she set her mind to, regardless of her ethnicity or background. "The messages I received as a child were very different from what we tell children today. I grew up believing I lived in the greatest country in the world. I believed that if you work hard, you can make something of yourself," she told Pastor Allen. In this podcast, they reflect on how Marxism, gender identity, and critical race theory are poisoning the minds of students today, and how parents can help their children survive a system that tells them success is determined by the shade of their skin. This episode reminds us that our true identity comes from God, and we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength — no matter what privileges we may lack.__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

The Gospel of Luke provides a powerful reminder that each generation has a choice: Will we accept or reject God and His Truth? On this podcast, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the current condition of our nation and how the challenges we face reflect our spiritual condition. Will we seek to align our lives with a higher authority—one that transcends illnesses, natural elements, demonic forces, governments, and even death? In a world overcome by chaos and uncertainty, we must ask ourselves what values we want to govern us, and then be diligent to uphold them. After all, our engagement and response will either invite God's blessings upon our nation—or His judgment.__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

In this episode, the Director of the Free Burma Rangers, David Eubank, shares his experiences on the frontlines of humanitarian work in a place wrought with death and despair. David emphasizes the importance of praying with faith, acknowledging that “we can’t do much without God.” Burma has experienced over 70 years of civil war, and Eubank reflects on the challenges of working in conflict zones and how his team seeks to bring hope and healing to those who suffer. "Our job is not to fight the Burma Army or ISIS in the Middle East. Our job is to give help, hope, and love. We're not pacifists. You can fight, and some of us have. But the main thing is to share the gospel of Jesus." We each play a critical role in the pursuit of freedom, and our choices carry great consequences. True transformation begins, not with changes in policies, but with a change of heart. This episode will inspire and empower you to intentionally pray with faith and serve the people in your own community. The prayers of God's people can and are changing the destinies of nations!More Information:Free Burma Ranger: https://www.freeburmarangers.org/__It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

⁠Moments of great conflict test our relationship with the Lord and our faith, and an excellent example of this is the life of Corrie Ten Boom. In this podcast, Pastor Allen talks with Actress Nan Gurley, who played Corrie in The Hiding Place movie and theatrical production. They discuss the Ten Boom family’s decision to hide Jews in their home during World War II, risking everything for the sake of compassion and humanity. "I read The Hiding Place in my twenties, and it had a big impact on me. You read a story like that, and you go, 'Wow, what a hero. I wonder—would I risk my life? Do I love Jesus that much?' You really don't know unless you're tested," Nan Gurley said. Corrie’s unwavering faith in God guided her through harrowing experiences including imprisonment in a concentration camp and the murder of her sister, Betsie.

Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, was recently killed in Tehran, and Iran is likely to retaliate. The Hezbollah commander, Fuad Shukr, was killed by an airstrike in Beirut. Students in America hold protests proclaiming, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” not realizing they are calling for the annihilation of the Jewish people. Voices continue to call for a ceasefire despite the fact that Hamas attacked with no warning, Israeli women were brutally raped, and babies were burned to death. These acts were driven by hatred and forces of evil we could not begin to fathom. "If you're talking about a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, you should point the finger at Hamas. This is the leadership of the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Hamas—this is a terrorist organization that does not care about anything other than destroying Israel," Yair Pinto declared. Pinto is the Director of Operations at TBN Israel & Sar-El Media. In this podcast, he and Pastor Allen give us insight into what is happening with the war in Israel and their enemy's true agenda: the annihilation of the Jewish people. __ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.

Millions of our tax dollars fund an organization that murders babies in the womb and mutilates adolescents under the guise of healthcare. "Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the world and the second largest provider of cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. Trans drugs for teens is now Planned Parenthood's fastest growing revenue stream," Seth Gruber told Pastor Allen. At the Democratic National Convention, a "mobile health clinic" offered women chemical abortions, offering a chilling example of how child sacrifice is being used to gain political power—just as it was in ancient times. In this podcast, Gruber explains how racism, Marxism, CRT, the KKK, the Third Reich, Margaret Sanger, the sexual revolution, and Planned Parenthood all tie together. We are fighting in a battle of worldviews and the Church needs to stand for the children. This episode will give you a deeper understanding of the spiritual nature behind the issue of abortion, and how God can use you to be an essential part of the solution.More Information: White Rose Resistance: https://thewhiterose.life/The 1916 Project Book: https://the1916project.com/book/The 1916 Project Trailer: https://youtu.be/it_7AO6tfLs?si=HSgNzkL6054oAocq__ It’s up to us to bring God’s truth back into our culture.
