Bible teaching, cultural apologetics and theological commentary on social issues by theologian, Krista Bontrager. Find out about my background, doctrinal beliefs and education on my website at TheologyMom.com.
I sit down with Messianic Jewish scholar Dr. Golan Broshi to explore the revolutionary biblical roots of democracy and Western freedom. Discover how the Torah introduced groundbreaking ideas, that stood in stark contrast to the surrounding pagan nations and profoundly shaped the key founding ideals of America.
Answering 3 Reasons Protestants Convert to Catholicism or Orthodoxy
In this addendum to my "Classical Protestant View on Tradition" series, I tackle three of the biggest reasons many Protestants feel drawn to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. I share how I wrestled through these issues, and ultimately why they weren't enough to pull me away from a classical Protestant approach.
Real talk: It is always a blessing when people approach me or write into the ministry about how my work has encouraged or helped them grow in the Faith. But the truth is, I also have some concerns about this dynamic because a YouTuber with a ring light can reach more people in a week than most pastors do in a lifetime. The algorithm rewards controversy and outrage, and too many voices are shaping souls without the accountability of a local church shepherd.
I have a new article out today where I share some of my thoughts about this dynamic. It's a warning about the risks of replacing your local pastor with your favorite influencer.
TOMORROW! Join me for a special Christmas livestream with acclaimed filmmaker Cory Edwards (director of Hoodwinked! and The Star). We will dive into his brand-new Christmas film, All Is Merry & Bright (@AllIsMerryandBrightMovie). We’ll talk about the making of this heartwarming holiday movie, the joy of bringing Christmas to the screen, and the real challenges and triumphs of staying true to his Christian faith while working in Hollywood. Expect honest conversation, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of holiday cheer. Don’t miss it!
UPDATE: Hey Fam. My interview with Andrew Rodriguez is going to be delayed. As I shared a few days ago on FB, Megan Basham is working on an article related to Biola and coincidentally, we are breaking the same story. It's a small part of my larger discussion, but I don't want to "scoop" her. So out of respect for her work, I'm going to delay releasing my video until her article is published.

Sunday Night Potluck -- I went live to talk about some random topics that were on my mind. Plus, I took a question from the comments.
Here's the breakdown:
✅ BIOLA Update
✅ Women pastors?
✅ The Fatal Flaw of the Constitution
✅ Ted Lasso as a Moral Example?
