Right Response Podcast

From the RRM archive

Why did God choose Israel? Not because they were faithful, great, or pure. In the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, Jesus shows Israel’s long history of rejecting the prophets and, finally, the Son. Joel argues that God chose the most stiff-necked people to show the full extent of His grace.

We also take on the “third way” teaching that unbelieving Jews still hold some covenant standing with God apart from Christ. Scripture leaves only two options: in Adam or in Christ, Jew and Gentile alike, by faith alone.

📖 Matthew 21:33-46 | Isaiah 5:7 | Deuteronomy 7 | Jeremiah 7:26

What does Paul mean when he says a woman “will be saved through childbearing”? Egalitarians say the verse is only about the birth of Christ. Conservatives like John Piper and Denny Burk soften it into physical safety or general homemaking. We argue both stop short of what the text actually says.

Starting from Psalms 127 and 128, we walk through the creation mandate, the blessing of children, and Paul’s command in 1 Timothy 2:15. We show how it fits James’ teaching that true saving faith is never alone. Then we take on the growing trend of pitting Paul against Jesus, and the misuse of 1 Corinthians 1 to shield false teachers from criticism. Finally we ask an uncomfortable question: why is children the only blessing from God we work to limit?

Women Who Refuse To Have Children Go To Hell | 1 Timothy 2:15

In Part 2, Pastor Joel Webbon, Wesley Todd, and Antonio Griffith go on offense. They argue that a Christianity which only changes the afterlife and never a people’s culture, health, or civilization isn’t humility. It’s Gnosticism.

Is race just a social construct, or a biblical category?

In Part 1 of this series, Pastor Joel Webbon, Wesley Todd, and Antonio Griffith open Genesis 10 and the Table of Nations. They argue that race has both a biological and a spiritual dimension, and that this is a view Christians held for centuries until very recently.

In this episode:

Romans 9 and Paul’s “kinsmen according to the flesh”: what it means for how Christians see their own ancestry
Culture, nation, race, species: a framework for words your Bible already uses
Noah’s three sons and how the nations spread and diverged
Why creationists already accept the adaptation argument, and the double standard in rejecting it here

Shane Gillis said what everyone at the gym already knows, and the internet lost its mind.

We break down the SNL joke that has everyone talking. Then we go further: why male spaces keep disappearing, how co-ed everything got us here, what the Cornell case says about consent without a framework, and why chivalry has no female equivalent. Gym culture, Nancy Mace, C.S. Lewis, and a case for bringing back freedom of association.

One of our favorite episodes from the archive. If you’re new, or skipped this one the first time, start here.

Piety is devotion bounded by duty. Pietism is holiness used as an excuse to abandon your post. From the Thirty Years’ War to Piper to Radical, we break down how evangelicals turned faith inward, and why men returning to ambition can’t leave piety behind.

Every covenant is sealed in blood, from Eden to Abraham to Calvary. Why has Christianity been the bloody religion for six millennia, and why is that the best news in the world? Shadows, substance, and the only sacrifice that was ever enough.

Jeremy Boreing says critics of Israel want to eradicate Jews. We say: name one. We respond to Boreing's latest episode, call out the "have your cake and eat it too" problem with modern Zionism, and argue that the real debate on the right is about American tax dollars and equal standards, not erasing anyone.

"Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings." (Proverbs 31:3)

You can have courage, gravitas, intellect, and strength, and still fail as a man if you hand it all over for a woman's approval. This week we define the simp biblically: a man who trades his judgment, strength, and duty for female approval, driven by fear of her displeasure.

From Adam to Samson to Ahab, Scripture is full of strong men undone by weakness toward a woman. We cover the line between a wife's counsel and a wife's dictation, how unchecked lust makes men pliable, the "shadow elders" quietly running complementarian churches, and why the moment calls for spiritual eunuchs: men whose strength is narrowed by self-mastery into a force that can't be worn down.

Beliefs drive behavior, but behavior can reshape belief. In Part 2 on the root of sin, we explain how discipline, context, and four truths about God (great, good, glorious, gracious) cut sin off at the root.

Where does sin actually start? Not with your actions, and not even with your words. In this episode, Joel, Wesley, and Antonio trace sin down to its root, through James 1: beliefs shape desires, desires shape thoughts, and thoughts shape what you say and do. If you're only fighting sin at the surface, you'll lose. Real sanctification isn't white-knuckling. It's mortification, and it starts with what you believe.

Why Women Are Weaker | Debate Review Pt. 2

Is physical strength really the only difference between men and women? Joel Webbon revisits his debate with Andrew Wilson and makes the case from 1 Timothy 2, Genesis 3, and 1 Peter 3. The conversation covers the "cult of Artemis" argument, why the curse is feminism rather than patriarchy, and what "weaker vessel" actually means.

The episode opens with Ephesians 6:1–4 and presents four priorities for “keeping” children in the faith: pray for God to save them because salvation is ultimately God’s work; raise them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord while treating them as “pre-Christian” rather than heathen; provide not only the gospel but also tangible, earthly incentives and an inheritance by being courageous, principled, and materially fruitful; and pursue a Christian society through Christian nationalism, arguing that a broadly Christian culture historically makes it easier for children to remain Christian. The hosts criticize approaches that restrict children from Christian language like “Our Father,” contrast examples involving Doug Wilson and John Piper’s children, cite Psalm themes of prosperity for the righteous, discuss inheritance as biblically and historically normal, and emphasize modeling courage and resilience for sons.

In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts argue Christians must avoid both retreatism and becoming indistinguishable from the world, aiming instead to stand near “kings” with skill and influence while refusing defilement. They discuss practical parenting aims: rules alone don’t produce courage; teach children the competing worldview; prepare them for moments of pressure through questions and role modeling; give them opportunities to practice courage; and consistently model conviction across contexts. The conversation also highlights how tyranny often arrives via universal, “temporary” edicts driven by wicked counselors, and stresses that borrowed convictions collapse while fear of rejection commonly drives compromise.

In part two of a marriage series on the Right Response Ministries podcast, the hosts address Christian men on how to find a wife, arguing men should lower unrealistic standards about politics and detailed theology and instead prioritize a woman who loves the Lord, fits broad orthodox Christian doctrine, is attractive, shows fruit of the Spirit, and is submissive and receptive—especially evidenced by being able to say, “I was wrong.”

This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast walks through Malachi chapter 4 as God’s final Old Testament word, framing Malachi as a covenant “courtroom” where God charges Israel with doubting His love, dishonoring Him in worship, covenant treachery in marriage, withholding tithes, and arrogant speech. The hosts connect Malachi’s promised “day” of refining fire—judgment on the wicked and vindication for those who fear God’s name—to Jesus’ ministry and the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70, including the temple’s destruction “not one stone upon another,” and note how Christians fled when the Roman armies withdrew. They discuss Jesus as the true Israel and present Reformed “fulfillment theology,” concluding with a warning for the modern church to endure God’s refining and a request for listener donations.
