Ep 406 | Donald Trump’s Persecution Marks Him as a Sinner in Need of a Savior
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has resurrected the criminal case against former President Donald Trump. The George Soros-backed prosecutor plans to indict Trump on tax fraud charges related to the hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels. Donald Trump has cast himself as Jesus Christ — America’s messiah, who is ready to die for his MAGA theology. But Jason says that Trump and his pride are more reminiscent of someone else who died on Calvary: a common, unrepentant thief who was crucified alongside the son of God. “Trump isn’t Jesus. He’s Gestas. An unprecedented and corrupt cabal of Romans, Jewish leaders, Herod, and the people of Israel have nailed Trump to a cross to the left of Christianity. And rather than humble himself and repent, Trump is demanding that he be removed from the cross.” Trump is no one’s savior. He’s a sinner who needs to confess and repent — like all men — to save this country. Trump’s sins empower the Democratic Party and those looking to end his political career. “Fearless” contributor Royce White shares his perspective on the persecution of the former president, and T.J. Moe offers his take on the pride and ego that have been and continue to be the least desirable character traits of Donald Trump. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ep 405 | What’s Creating the Feminization of the American Church?
Jason and the “Fearless Army" pick up where they left off in Friday’s episode, discussing the matters plaguing the church. Though he’s a fan of most of Transformation Church’s Pastor Michael Todd’s sermons, Jason admits that his message can come across as rather effeminate and oftentimes misses the mark for men. Is the church as a whole suffering from a masculinity crisis and cultivating a culture of empathy that pushes men away from faith? Do churches feel like they need to show more empathy to appeal to the younger generations? Pastor Bobby Harrington, T.J. Moe, Dave Shannon, and Pastor Virgil Walker tackle these questions of faith and more.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 404 | Did Pastor Michael Todd Finally Bow to Culture?
Jason recently received an email from a devoted “Fearless” viewer who was critical of the show’s portrayal of controversial former pastor Rick Warren. The email was an example of the viral thought process that is infecting church congregations across America. Recently, Jason thought this virus struck one of his favorite faith leaders, Pastor Mike Todd of Tulsa’s Transformation Church. Did Pastor Todd affirm transgenderism and homosexuality from the pulpit? Jason welcomes YouTuber Kris Williams, who levied those same allegations against Todd, and discusses the method and messages of Todd’s teaching with Anthony Walker, Bobby Harrington, T.J. Moe, Virgil Walker, and Delano Squires. Plus, former NFL player turned Israelite minister Daniel Muir joins the show to debate the merits of Todd’s ministry. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 403 | Ja Morant & Jalen Rose Hustle Softball Interview | NBA Prioritizes Content over Competition
Following a string of incidents that ended with Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant flashing a gun in a Denver strip club, the NBA sent the young star in for counseling. Three days later, he emerged a changed man and sat down with the most venerable sports journalist of our time, ESPN’s Jalen Rose, to document his three-day transformation. Jason and most of the sports world aren’t buying it. “How is this not a scripted movie? Ja Morant is all better now. In a 12-day whirlwind, Morant dropped $50K at a strip club, flashed a gun, got a Reiki and Tantra massage in Florida, sat down with Adam Silver and Jalen Rose, and now he’s ready to play basketball again.” The NBA has sacrificed competition on the court for content on social media; Morant is just the latest example. “It’s a content league. It’s a league dedicated to feeding ESPN, Fox Sports, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook content. It’s a league built on gossip, opinion, and narrative. It’s a league with no respect for competition or integrity.” “Fearless” contributors T.J. Moe, Royce White, and Steve Kim join the show to discuss Morant’s crime-to-riches comeback story.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 402 | Aaron Rodgers Clowns the Media Again | HBO’s Bomani Jones Exposes His Racism
While the NFL media speculates and pontificates on the future of Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback himself has used his chosen platform to call out the media once again. Reports have been circulating that Rodgers was demanding the New York Jets acquire hand-selected players before he would finalize a trade deal with the Big Apple. Speaking to Pat McAfee, Rodgers said that’s not at all how the conversation went down. Rodgers said the Jets asked him for a “wish list” of players he’d like to see on the roster if they made a trade for the four-time NFL MVP. Rodgers is being criticized for the way he’s handling the decision about his future and the way he handles the sports media. Jason is not one of his critics. “I don’t blame Aaron Rodgers for being adversarial with the media. They have an agenda.” On the other hand, “Fearless” contributors T.J. Moe and Steve Kim are leaning the other way and are experiencing some “Aaron Rodgers fatigue.” HBO’s resident race-baiter, Bomani Jones, recently attacked JJ Redick over his exchange with Kendrick Perkins during the NBA MVP debate. Jones said, “White people aren’t always racially biased. But you can never be 100% sure.” Jason, T.J., and Steve discuss the thoughts of sports media's pseudo-intellectual. In Tennessee Harmony, Shemeka Michelle joins Jason, T.J., and Anthony Walker to share a strange conversation she had with a pastor at a cigar lounge. Then, Virgil Walker joins the conversation to talk about the new controversial statements from former megachurch pastor Rick Warren. After retiring from Saddleback Church and after the church itself was disfellowshipped by the Southern Baptist Convention, Warren said he now has scripture to justify the church’s decision to ordain female pastors in leadership roles.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 401 | Ja Morant Reflects NBA Secular Culture | Ciara Bares All, Emasculates Russell Wilson
Following his Instagram gun video and a two-day strip club sexcapade, the NBA has sent Ja Morant to a counseling facility to address his recent off-court behavior. Jason suggests that it’s not Ja who really needs the help — maybe it's those who have carefully crafted the culture that has engulfed Morant who are in need of counseling. “Nike and the NBA in particular and professional sports in general cultivated Morant’s identity dysphoria. In the aftermath of the historic success of the Air Jordan brand, the entire sports world has spent the last three decades pursuing street credibility and promoting racial idolatry.” Jason explores the connections between Nike, the NBA, and gangsta rap that have created a secular culture in sports. Former NBA first-rounder Royce White, a longtime mental health advocate in the NBA, adds his firsthand knowledge to the issues surrounding Morant. Delano Squires joins “Fearless” to discuss the Ja Morant situation and pop star Ciara nearly baring all at an Oscars after-party, further emasculating Russell Wilson in the process. The first lady of "Fearless,” Shemeka Michelle, adds her own take on what’s really happening between Ciara and Russell. And Steve Kim wraps up the show talking about Michael Irvin’s legal issues following the sexual assault allegations during Super Bowl week. The surveillance video of the incident is out; what does the tape really show?We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 400 | Angela Bassett’s Black Entitlement on Full Display at Oscars
Hollywood made it through the Oscars without a single act of physical violence, but if looks could kill, Angela Bassett would have been able to pull off what Michael Myers couldn’t: take out Jamie Lee Curtis. When Curtis was announced as the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Bassett couldn’t even feign a little joy for her fellow nominee. She sat stone-faced in her chair as the rest of the audience responded with a standing ovation. Jason says Bassett’s reaction encapsulates the pandemic of entitlement and victimhood in America. Her role in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” should have all but guaranteed her an Academy Award — after all, it was the greatest film in black cinematic history. Jason refers to this type of entitlement as “trickle-down racial justice.” “Trickle-down racial justice is the theory that argues the rewards given to spoiled black elites eventually benefit poor black people. Denying Bassett an Oscar means a little black girl in Chicago or Buffalo or San Antonio is less likely to get an A in her math or English class. The celebration and honoring of Bassett and other black elites are critical to closing all racial achievement gaps.” “Fearless” contributor Shemeka Michelle adds her flavor to the discussion and tries to help Jason figure out how “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was the best film that Hollywood could muster last year. Steve Kim drops in to hit the latest NFL headlines, including Jalen Ramsey's journey to South Beach. Does this mean the Dolphins are now stuck with Tua as QB? And re-rack the Lamar Jackson outrage as rumors swirl that no other NFL team is willing to take in the former league MVP.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 399 | What Colin Kaepernick’s White Racism Tells You About Half-frican Americans
Colin Kaepernick is back, and you know what that means. Stand by for wokeness. The former kneeling back of the San Francisco 49ers has released a “graphic novel” comic book detailing his struggle to find his identity as a child. In this cartoonishly bad tale, Kaepernick paints his white adoptive parents as “problematic” and perpetuating racism by suppressing his true identity as a kid. Jason unloads on the lack of gratitude Kaepernick shows for the two people who chose to raise a little boy who had been abandoned by a father he never knew and a birth mother who didn’t want the job of being his parent. Kaepernick worships at the altar of racial idolatry, and he’s sacrificing his white parents in pursuit of his “blackness.” “Fearless” contributor Delano Squires adds his parental perspective to the conversation. Plus, the “Korean Cosell” Steve Kim joins the show to discuss Kaepernick, Tiger Woods' women problems, and Patrick Ewing getting booted from his alma mater.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 398 | How Media Exploitation Could Lead America into Civil War
For over a week now, ESPN’s Kendrick Perkins has been leading the campaign against Nikola Jokic as NBA MVP. In a heated exchange with colleague JJ Redick, Perkins implied the system was rigged because, in his words, “80% of MVP voters are white.” What Perkins shouted loudly as a cut-and-dry fact proved not to be true. ESPN fact-checked Perkins' statement and issued a “correction” about the make-up of the NBA voting constituency. This is an example of the type of behavior that Jason says the media is using to spread racial division and conflict, division and conflict that are leading the country down a dangerous path. The media exploits people like Perkins, Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A. Smith, and Skip Bayless to present narratives that create animus among races. It’s not just the sports media creating division in America. Tucker Carlson has spent the week dismantling the mainstream media’s narrative about the January 6 “insurrection,” an event that was used to drive a wedge between citizens and portray an entire voting block as racist rioters. As Jason points out, all the media misinformation isn’t new. In fact, he can trace it back to Dan Rather in 1963.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!

Ep 397 | A Lamar Jackson Conspiracy? | JJ Redick Blast Kendrick Perkins | “Jesus Revolution” Review
It didn’t take long for the sports media world to cry racism over the Baltimore Ravens slapping a non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson. It seems no other team in the league is interested in negotiating with the former league MVP, so according to Pro Football Focus, it has to be the racist team owners colluding against the black signal caller. Jason has a few alternative theories based more on common sense than conspiracy. “Fearless” contributors Steve Kim and Coach Jason Brown of “Last Chance U” discuss the business side of Lamar Jackson and why no team has stepped up to pay him what he wants. JJ Redick may not be an ESPN employee much longer after speaking the truth to Kendrick Perkins, Stephen A. Smith and blasting “First Take”. And in Tennessee Harmony, Pastor Anthony Walker, Bryson Gray and Shemeka Michelle join Jason to review the faith based film “Jesus Revolution”.We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
