Once upon a time, Sesame Street was the gentle hum of a sunny day, where Big Bird helped kids spell “apple” and Oscar’s biggest sin was being grouchy. But somewhere between Bert and Ernie’s friendship bracelets and Michelle Obama’s kale evangelism, the street corner...
In a recent webinar podcast geared toward making the argument that same sex attraction is not sinful, Preston Sprinkle and Gregory Coles suggest that Jesus Himself may have experienced sexual attraction. Coles states, “It does seem like it sort of cheapens the passage...
It’s not even June yet, and you can already feel it—the collective eye-roll of a weary nation bracing for another thirty-day parade of moral confusion, sexual exhibitionism, and corporate hostage videos. The rainbow flags are being ironed, the slogans reheated, the...
Have you ever heard of Camp IdRaHaJe? I haven’t either, until recently, and I know nothing about it, its theology, or its affiliations. But what’s going on at this little-known Christian camp is much bigger than the camp itself. Nestled in the pine-strewn hills of...
In a recent conversation with Lecrae, Francis Chan reached deep into the recesses of his self-awareness and pulled out something so bizarre, so stupefying, that even seasoned watchers of his descent into doctrinal oblivion had to pause and rewind. With a wistful,...
June is almost here, which means the corporate spasm of rainbow flag-waving is about to commence with all the subtlety of a Vegas drag show crashing a funeral. Pride Month, the holiest month in the calendar of Ba’al worship, is not content with simply your tolerance...
In a recent episode of his podcast, Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Wright was asked by a self-described trans-identified woman—who now lives as a man and has undergone surgeries including a hysterectomy—whether her current lifestyle is sinful, and how the Bible might...
The pastrix of Downey Avenue Christian Church—a church and a denomination that is anything but Christian—compares the explicit novel, The Color Purple, to Scripture, calling it “holy and inspired.” Not metaphorically. Not emotionally. No, she literally calls it a...
Have you ever opened a sack of flour that’s been sitting just a little too long in a damp basement? At first, it looks okay—sealed up, stacked neatly, part of the pantry. But peel it open, and the putrid smell is suddenly overwhelming. It’s filled with fat, white...
At The Dissenter, we are committed to proclaiming the truth of God’s Word while dragging into the light the wolves who twist it to serve the devil’s agenda. Over the years, we’ve exposed a long procession of frauds—charlatans, grifters, heretics, and smooth-talking...
It’s not every day that a high-profile Southern Baptist pastor calls out the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) for being little more than a sanctimonious public relations firm. But that’s precisely what happened when Willy Rice, pastor of Calvary Baptist...
Delman Coates, the senior pastor of Mt. Ennon Baptist Church, recently delivered a sermon that could only be described as theological arson. Coates didn't just bend the truth—he violently assaulted it, dragged it into a dark alley, and left it bleeding. He essentially...
If our church members fall into the habit of frequenting the theatre, we shall soon have them going much further in the direction of vice, and they will lose all relish for the ways of God. If theatre-going became general among professing Christians, it would be the...
The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has just delivered a swift kick to religious liberty while waving the rainbow flag of so-called inclusion. In what world is it acceptable for a small Christian school to be dragged through the legal mud for daring to uphold a basic...
Picture this, a quaint Mennonite church, where one might expect sermons on humility, simplicity, and the steadfastness of God. Instead, we’re treated to a peculiar display—a ladypastrix, adorned with a rainbow bracelet, sitting cross-legged in front of a group of...
If there was ever a guy who sold his soul for money and fortune, it’s Jesse Duplantis. This clown is a walking, talking, prosperity-gospel charlatan of the highest order, and every time he opens his mouth, some new heresy rolls out. In one of his latest sermon clip is...
Dear Effeminate Pastor, You stand on a stage, not a pulpit. Beneath theatrical lights, not the burning fire of truth. Draped in pastel rebellion and accessorized like a department store mannequin on discount, you glide across the platform like a self-help seminar host...
In Part I of this series, we traced the roots of the modern sexual revolution, showing how it has marched steadily from fornication to pride parades and beyond, fueled by cultural apathy and theological cowardice. In Part II, we exposed the metastasizing nature of...
Karl Marx was not just some economist scribbling theories in obscurity who happened to have a stroke of luck in becoming a household name—he was the architect of a worldview that treats envy as virtue, revolution as redemption, and the State as god. What began in the...
Let them go. Really, let them. If your spiritual appetite can be satisfied by the incense-choked pageantry of Rome—by genuflecting before a golden cage of transubstantiated flour—then it was never Christ that you hungered for to begin with. If you're willing to trade...
At The Gospel Coalition’s recent conference—an event already bursting with enough theological cotton candy to induce a diabetic coma—David Platt took the stage and, with trembling sincerity, unleashed a tale so drenched in mystical melodrama it could have been...
Somewhere between the Jedi Council and the United Church of Christ, a black hole has opened, sucking sound doctrine into a swirling void of cosplay theology, syncretistic gobbledygook, and racialized virtue signals wrapped in rice paper. It is here, at the unholy...
In a Nebraska courtroom, justice was finally dispensed—but not in the way most would assume. Chloe Coplen-Anderson, now 18, was sentenced to 35 to 60 years in prison after being convicted of slitting her newborn son’s throat shortly after giving birth in her bedroom....

Today is Columbus Day and once again, the leftist chorus is doing what they do best, rewriting history, twisting facts, and advancing their anti-American pet cause by calling this day "Indigenous People's Day." But before we let them get away with this brazen...
I honestly get tired of writing on this topic, but it’s such a pervasive evil in our world that it’s impossible to ignore. I read an article sent to me by one of my avid readers that sent chills down my spine. The article, published in the New York...

The roots of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) stretch deep into Marxist ideology. Born from the notion of class struggle, Marxism’s obsession with dividing society into oppressors and oppressed has evolved—now it's all about identity, diversity boxes, and...
Progressive “Christianity,” if you want to call it that, is nothing but a fraud—a shameless charade where self-appointed "pastors" like this Emily Bowen-Marler strut about in clerical garb, pretending to speak for a God they openly despise.In this sermon, she says...
As I watched the debate last night, a grim realization settled over me—this isn’t Kansas anymore. It’s more obvious now than ever before. Something feels off, something has changed. What we once knew, the life we cherished as kids, has slipped through our fingers....
I ran across an article today talking about Kenneth Copeland's massive wealth, and I started really thinking about it—the man's 86 years old. Kenneth Copeland's version of the “gospel” is a gross perversion of God grace. He has spent decades promoting a theology that...
The Lausanne Movement, founded in 1974, presents itself as a global evangelical network aimed at fulfilling the Great Commission. However, it has since evolved into a platform for globalist ideologies, aligning closely with organizations like the World Economic...

by Jim FletcherThe death of a child has rightly been called soul-crushing. Whether a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of an adult child, the parents are never quite the same. The tragedy usually lingers; it can also negatively impact a marriage. As has been said...
There’s a plague of false teachers infecting the church today, spreading like a virus through congregations, ministries, and movements around the world. They’re everywhere, and the damage they cause is immeasurable. And you’d be surprised at the amount of emails I...
The media in partnership with the pro-abortion lobby is at it again—twisting reality to paint 28-year-old Amber Thurman as yet another tragic victim of pro-life laws. If you’re unfamiliar with the story, Thurman chose to end the lives of her unborn twins after...
by Rob NelsenCarl Lentz, the former Hillsong pastor who fell from grace due to an affair, has reemerged with a podcast alongside his wife, Laura. Much like a phoenix rising—or perhaps more aptly, a Hydra that refuses to stay down, Lentz remains a fixture in the public...

Walk into almost any modern Evangelical church today, and you might be forgiven for wondering whether you've mistakenly stumbled into a concert hall, a corporate team-building event, or maybe even the set of a reality TV show. The flashing lights, slick branding, and...

In this age of moral relativism, where every wind of doctrine is blowing and the foundations of biblical truth are being vigorously attacked, the Church of God cannot afford to shrink back. The Word of God, unadulterated and absolute, stands as our guide and the voice...

Canada's recent legislative effort, Bill C-63, ostensibly aims to combat online harms, including what it defines as "hate speech." But let's face it, we know where this is going. As with all leftists, the end goal is to silence conservatives, especially Christians....
Even though we all know the Southern Baptist Convention is woke, it seems like every day we see another example of just how pervasive this evil is in these churches. Over the years, we've uncovered garbage from SBC pastors like David Platt, Matt Chandler, and many...
As ethics increasingly rely on cultural trends and the foundations of societal morality continue to tremble under the weight of "progress," an alarming trend has emerged within our federal government's approach to foster care—an agenda that now prioritizes the...
In the sobering words of 1 Corinthians 5:5, the Apostle Paul instructs the church to hand over unrepentant sinners to Satan "for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus." This truth reveals to us the gravity of...

Apparently, we now live in a world where less than half of “regular churchgoers” can coherently define the word family. Family Research Council’s (FRC) latest 2025 survey reveals that 68 % will say, “Marriage is between one man and one woman”—yet only 46 % think...
Every October, the same camp that can’t define a woman suddenly transforms into a panel of historical experts. They put down their gender-studies textbooks just long enough to lecture the rest of us about “colonial oppression” and the supposed horrors of Christopher...
They say politics doesn’t belong in the pulpit—that the Church must stay “above” the fray, aloof from the rough-and-tumble of the public square. But what they really mean is that the Bible is too sharp to touch their idols. It cuts too close. It exposes too much. The...

Here is how Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, under the leadership of Danny Akin, slaps a new label on the same old identity-politics, marches it into seminary life, and invites everyone to the party—except…wait for it…straight, white, men. Black,...

In Houston, Texas, a storm has been brewing beneath the gleaming surface of one of America’s largest megachurches—Second Baptist Church. With more than 90,000 members scattered across multiple campuses and an empire reportedly worth over a billion dollars, Second...
Levi Lusko has built a reputation as the quintessential hip, modern megachurch pastor—tattoos, trendy sneakers, polished storytelling, and a high-production platform that attracts the crowds and flatters the culture. But beneath the fashionable exterior and charming...
A YouTube channel calling itself “JOHN MACARTHUR WORLD” is currently drawing hundreds of thousands of views by producing and promoting videos that are not only misleading, but outright deceptive. These videos are presented as if they contain teachings from Pastor John...
He walks onto the stage with a flawless smile and a perfectly-timed pause. The lights dim, the audience leans in, and for thirty minutes, the man speaks with the cadence of a TED Talker and the certainty of a Silicon Valley mogul pitching salvation like a subscription...
When the news broke that Pope Francis had died, Christianity Today responded in the only way it knows how: with an incense-scented eulogy that doubled as a love letter to ecumenical confusion. The article, penned by Franco Iacomini, bore the...
Somewhere between the archeological dust of Jerusalem and the theological smog of Gordon College, a man named Jeffrey P. Arroyo Garcia stumbled onto a theory so feeble, it could barely support the weight of a soggy Sunday school flannelgraph, let alone the entire...
The pontiff is dead. And no, the bells aren’t ringing in triumph—they’re tolling like a funeral dirge for a man whose soul now quakes before the throne of Almighty God. Pope Francis—Rome’s darling, the media’s mascot, the Church of Nice’s poster boy—is gone. And what...
It begins like all state-level poison does—with a bill number, an innocuous title, and a room full of politicians mugging for the cameras while pretending to care. Massachusetts House Bill 5033, draped in the glittering vestments of "healthcare reform," tiptoed its...
Colorado, ever the progressive petri dish of experimental governance, has once again declared its disdain for Christian convictions—this time by officially categorizing biblical parenting as a form of abuse. House Bill 25-1312, which I wrote about earlier this month,...
Amazingly, in the broad field of journalism and opining, there are people so self-satisfied, so enamored with their own perceived cleverness, that you can almost hear them sniggering while typing out their next piece. Andy Olsen's "Invasion Theology," published in...
There was a time—believe it or not—when television served some modest purpose beyond rotting the minds of its audience into room-temperature gelatin. There was a time when entertainment required talent. When it at least pretended to nod toward decency. When people...
In an age where most political leaders opt for soft-focus platitudes about “faith traditions” and “spiritual journeys,” the Trump White House just dropped a Holy Week statement that reads more like a Sunday sermon than a sanitized press release. And frankly, it's a...
There it is, in black and white. Thirteen ethnic fellowships within the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) have officially declared what many of us have been saying all along. When it comes to our nation’s borders, they think enforcement is mean, deportation is cruel,...
Good riddance! There, I said it. NewSpring Church has officially joined the ranks of spiritual circus tents that have packed up and left the Southern Baptist Convention, and frankly, the SBC should be sending them a thank-you note, not a love letter. Cue the anguished...
It’s been said that if you want to see the theological temperature of the modern American church, you don’t go to the pulpit—you go to the fellowship hall, where a circle of women sit cradling pastel-covered workbooks with Beth Moore’s name stamped across the front...
Where better than in the streets of Harlem, New York City, could a scene unfold that so plainly illustrates the true face of the pro-abortion movement—a face contorted with rage, intolerance, and, ultimately, violence. Savannah Craven, a pro-life activist associated...
In the small town of Orangeburg, South Carolina, Pastor JP Sibley of New City Fellowship has carved out a platform for himself not as a diehard exegete of the Scriptures, but as a drooling mouthpiece for progressive social dogma. With a Bible in one hand and a DEI...
One of the most tyrannical pieces of legislation in American history isn’t coming from Washington, D.C. It isn’t being shoved down our throats by some bloated federal agency. No, the epicenter of this legislative grotesquerie is none other than Colorado, where the...
The latest findings from the Cultural Research Center’s American Worldview Inventory 2025 just dropped, and it’s a theological gut-punch to anyone who assumes that modern America still has even a passing acquaintance with biblical Christianity. Spoiler: it doesn’t....
It’s the darling phrase of modern Evangelicalism—trotted out with breathless solemnity every time someone dares to speak a hard truth too plainly: “We must speak the truth in love.” Four little words. A verse fragment. A harmless butterfly of a phrase that, somewhere...
I just read an “explainer” article by the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) published in the Christian Index, and to no one's surprise, it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the Southern Baptist Convention’s well-funded public relations...

I ran across a tweet the other day that lodged itself in my mind like a thorn. It was from Genevieve Gluck, a name that occasionally floats across the radar of gender-critical feminism, usually sounding some kind of alarm about the degradation of womanhood at the...
I ran across a tweet by Elon Musk this morning that got me thinking—a rare moment of clarity slicing through the pious fog of evangelical open-borderism. It showed a crowd of South African leftists—dressed in their standard-issue revolutionary cosplay—chanting in...
