Ideas Have Consequences

By: Disciple Nations Alliance
  • Summary

  • Everything that we see around us is the product of ideas, of ideologies, of worldviews. That's where everything starts. Worldviews are not all the same, and the differences matter a lot. How do you judge a tree? By its fruits. How do you judge a worldview? By its physical, tangible, observable fruit. The things it produces. Ideas that are noble and true produce beauty, abundance, and human flourishing. Poisonous ideas produce ugliness. They destroy and dehumanize. It really is that simple. Welcome to Ideas Have Consequences, the podcast of Disciple Nations Alliance, where we prepare followers of Christ to better understand the true ideas that lead to human flourishing while fighting against poisonous ideas that destroy nations. Join us, and prepare your minds for action!

    Jan 8 2025

    Send us a text

    Climatologist David Legates challenges mainstream narratives on the climate, offering an important Christian perspective on the intersection of science, politics, and economics. Drawing insights from his book Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism, co-authored with leading scientists and economists, Legates builds upon our previous episode examining how climate science has shifted from objective inquiry to politicized advocacy.

    We consider:

    • Misleading claims in climate activism and how to respond critically.
    • The implications of climate policy on global poverty, energy costs, and environmental stewardship.
    • The rise of postmodern science and its impact on climate research
    • Do climate change policies serve hidden agendas or impact broader societal transformations?

    From the reliability of carbon dating to the role of the church in restoring scientific integrity, this episode invites you to question prevailing narratives and engage in practical, truth-centered environmental action.

    Rediscover the essence of balanced climate science—and the hope for reclaiming stewardship that honors both creation and the Creator.

    Discipling the next generation shapes the world of tomorrow and has never been more important, but finding the right curriculum can be a big challenge. Dr. Terry Andrews, a missionary with over 30 years experience in Africa, shares the profound impact she has seen with her God with Us discipleship curriculum. This innovative program has rapidly spread across Africa and beyond. Because it draws deeply on biblical truths from Genesis, it finds an audience among both Christian and Muslim youth, leading them to better understand and apply Christian principles. Engaging methods like storytelling and small group discussions captivate children’s attention and have been effective in schools, churches, and with sports teams. In addition, families and communities are healing and churches are flourishing.

    Explore the profound truths hidden in our most cherished Christmas carols.

    "Joy to the World" announces the Kingship of Jesus, calling each of us to respond to His rule by pushing back against the effects of the fall. With grace, truth, and love, Christ's reign brings hope to our weary world.

    Similarly, "O Holy Night" paints a vivid picture of Christ's birth, a moment that brought humanity a new and glorious dawn.

    Our friend, Jessica Shakir, from The Beautiful Mind Academy, shares her passion about the Advent season with us as she thoughtfully connects the Christmas story back to the creation narrative.

    Are you ready to revitalize the deep joy and hope found in the Christmas message? Tune in for a festive conversation filled with reflection, celebration, and a renewed understanding of the true meaning of Christmas!
