In part two of a discussion with Jordan “J.D.” Hall, the hosts continue addressing accusations of ecumenical compromise around the upcoming NXR “Christ is King” conference, asking where common ground ends and theological compromise begins. They debate how the word “Christian” should be used, arguing it can describe those who affirm core creedal claims about Jesus without asserting certainty about individual regeneration, citing Acts 11:26 and examples from Calvin, Luther, and Spurgeon. They contend critics equate “Christian” with personal conversion due to imprecise evangelical language, and they criticize reformed pietism for valuing small influence as proof of purity while a “counter-reformation” draws evangelicals toward Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy. The episode explains a strategy: NXR targets broad culture and politics under Christ’s kingship while Right Response provides deeper theological resources. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

On the Right Response Ministries podcast, Joel Webbon talks with Jordan Hall about the vision for the NXR conference “Christ is King: America After Trump” and the public criticism that it is “too ecumenical.” Hall argues critics misuse the term ecumenism, contrasting ecclesiastical councils and doctrinal statements like the Antioch Declaration with NXR’s aim of discussing cultural issues without making church decisions. They compare NXR’s speaker standards with TPUSA and TPUSA Faith, noting examples like Doug Wilson’s remarks at a TPUSA event and TPUSA Faith hosting atheist James Lindsay, while NXR requires speakers to affirm core creedal claims about Jesus. They also discuss selective outrage, online incentives to attack Webbon, objections to naming Christ, and NXR’s refusal to platform women to instruct men. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

Right Response Ministries opens with Judges 21:25 and argues that Western civilization—built on Greek philosophical inquiry, Roman law and statecraft, and centrally Christianity as the coherent foundation and telos—is now dead, having been supplanted by a “new religion.” The hosts trace early challenges through nominalism (William of Ockham) and the Enlightenment’s elevation of autonomous human reason, citing the French Revolution’s “worship service to human reason” at Notre Dame and later liberal theology’s rationalizing of Christian claims. They contend post–World War II statism and the sexual revolution further replaced Christian presuppositions, with egalitarianism as liberalism’s driving engine. Joel Webbon describes combating “personal liberalism” through a schooling decision, criticizing coeducation as practical egalitarianism. They call Christians to honest assessment without despair, framing the task as rebuilding after destruction (Ezra and Nehemiah), not merely defending, and encouraging institutional rebuilding with Christian hope. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:**Genesis Gold Group*Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial*Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

Faith without risk isn’t faith. It's abstract assent. Hudson Taylor gave his last coin in obedience and watched God provide. George Müller fed thousands of orphans by prayer alone with no fundraising. Brother Andrew smuggled Bibles by the car load behind the Iron Curtain, trusting God at the checkpoint. Risk. Faith.

Right Response Ministries continues its discussion of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), distinguishing it from the PCUSA while arguing the PCA is on the same liberalizing trajectory, driven by egalitarianism, and is in “dire straits.” After two “scorched earth” episodes, this installment shifts from critique to pastoral counsel: Christians must be committed to a local visible church and cannot simply opt out. The hosts present three options for those with Presbyterian convictions but limited local choices: leave for a better church if one exists within a reasonable distance, leave and start a church if biblically qualified and called, or, for some, stay—even in a compromised congregation—based on prudence, context, and counsel from mature believers. They stress nuance, self-assessment, and seeking wisdom, then conclude with support and donation appeals. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

The episode responds to criticism that NXR Studios’ upcoming “Christ Is King: America After Trump” 2026 conference promotes forbidden ecumenicalism, arguing the charge misunderstands categorical distinctions between Covenant Bible Church (word, sacrament, regulative worship), Right Response Ministries (a Christian 501(c)(3) ministry focused on public theology), and NXR Studios (a for-profit Christian political/cultural organization). The host explains NXR exists because Right Response became increasingly political in 2024–2025 and needed to remain theologically focused while a separate entity handled overtly political work. For the NXR conference, speaker standards are limited to being male and a professing Christian who affirms core claims about Christ consistent with the Apostles’ Creed; this is presented as permissible co-belligerency rather than church-level unity, and as a narrower coalition than major conservative conferences that platform non-Christians. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

In part two of a series on the civil magistrate’s duty under God to promote true religion, the speakers move from theological principles to practical tactics for the U.S. in 2026. They argue that while separation of church and state may be permissible, separating Christ from the state is not, and they outline realistic approaches short of amending the Constitution, such as using party “soft power” to influence who appears on Republican ballots. They propose narrowing legal definitions and eligibility for 501(c)(3) and church status to remove tax and property-tax exemptions from progressive churches, forcing financially weak congregations to sell properties. They contend evangelism alone will not eliminate liberal churches and advocate both conversion and civil coercion, encouraging young men to engage procedural local politics, PACs, and party platforms while remaining “innocent as doves” and “shrewd as serpents,” including using 501(c)(3) advantages. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

In part one of a two-part podcast on church and state, the hosts argue from 2 Kings 23:5–9 and Reformed political thought that the civil magistrate has a duty to promote true religion and suppress public blasphemy and idolatry, while remaining limited to outward matters and not usurping preaching, sacraments, or church keys. Using categories of principle versus prudential application (genus/species), they cite Reformed Christian Politics and figures and confessions including Turretin, Calvin, the pre-1778 Westminster Confession, the Belgic Confession, and Steven Wolfe to show this duty is historically Reformed. They distinguish separation of church and state from separation of Christ and state, reject ecclesiocracy while affirming God above the state, and preview applying these ideas to America, noting radical measures as theoretically permissible but presently impractical. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

The episode continues a two-part critique of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) position paper, pastoral letter, and “affirmations and denials” on Christian nationalism, arguing the denomination is compromising Scripture on sexuality, civic life, and male leadership. The hosts cite a Religious Landscape Study survey claiming PCA members’ support for same-sex marriage rose from 40% in 2014 to 53% “strongly favor” in 2023–2024, and connect this to the PCA’s rejection of Christian nationalism. They analyze PCA statements on race, ethnicity, “political legitimacy,” kinism, and the ordo amoris, claiming the document misuses passages like Galatians 3 and Romans 2 and effectively condemns biblical and historical notions of lineage, nationhood, and Paul’s love for his “kinsmen according to the flesh” in Romans 9. They argue the PCA rejects nature in a Gnostic way and urge listeners to leave the denomination before the next General Assembly makes the document binding. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

The episode opens with Romans 9:1–5 and argues that Satan undermines the church through persecution, doctrinal compromise, and subtle tactics like disqualification and new “heresies.” The hosts recount Presbyterian denominational history leading to the PCA’s formation in 1973 and contrast it with the PCUSA’s decline after affirming women’s ordination and homosexual unions. They then discuss the PCA’s ad interim report on Christian nationalism, reading its pastoral letter and selected “affirmations and denials” on civic engagement, speech, antisemitism/race realism/kinism, ordered loves, ethnicity, and men and women. The hosts condemn the document as intentionally ambiguous, a straw man used to target figures like Joel Webbon, criticize its stance on women in civic leadership as contrary to Calvin and Knox, warn it could be used in ordination processes, urge leaving compromised denominations, and promote sponsors, donations, and an upcoming part two. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

This Right Response Ministries podcast episode opens with Psalm 18:31–34 and argues for Christian excellence and forming “renaissance men” who are not only faithful husbands and fathers but top-tier builders, leaders, and experts in their vocations. The hosts reject egalitarianism and raw populism, emphasizing hierarchy, leadership, and the need for a capable Christian elite able to apply timeless biblical principles to modern realities like AI, globalism, and digital life. They critique modern hyper-specialization, industrialization, universities, and internet spectator culture, contrasting a holistic historical model of excellence with today’s narrow definition. The discussion highlights piety, intellect, physical discipline, craftsmanship, family leadership, aesthetics, social grace, curiosity, and gravitas, with examples including George Washington, Theodore Roosevelt, Tucker Carlson, and King David,. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

This episode of The Right Response Ministry podcast examines Matthew 19:23–30 in its immediate context of the rich young ruler, explaining that Jesus’ warning is not a blanket condemnation of wealth but an exposure of the unique temptations attached to earthly abundance. The hosts discuss how riches can foster self-sufficiency and idolatry—either trusting wealth for security or treasuring it for joy—while noting that the same heart-sin can attach to health, reputation, power, or religious privilege. They contrast biblical warnings against the love and desire for money with passages that speak positively of wealth as God’s providential blessing, rejecting both prosperity-gospel guarantees and a “poverty gospel” that demonizes riches. Finally, they emphasize both the cost and the reward of discipleship, including God’s provision in this life, spiritual blessings, fellowship, and ultimately eternal life, with persecutions. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

This episode of the Right Response Ministries Podcast opens with Ezekiel 34:1–7 and applies its warning to modern church leadership, focusing on the Rio Grande Presbytery (PCA) indefinitely suspending teaching elder Zachary Garris. The hosts discuss two charges: an accusation tied to his liking a tweet about slavery (dismissed) and a charge of “corrupt speech” based solely on two X replies to Dr. Anthony Bradley, which they argue were benign. They contend the presbytery is using the disciplinary process as punishment, especially in light of Garris’s writings (Masculine Christianity, Honor Thy Fathers, and Dabney on Fire) promoting patriarchal, anti-feminist themes and defending Christian forefathers. They argue such actions reveal broader denominational corruption, compare current church leaders unfavorably to Reformers’ rhetoric, and conclude by urging pastors and church planters to avoid joining denominations in the present climate. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* *Genesis Gold Group* Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com *Backwards Planning Financial* Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss Matthew 19:10–12 to argue that celibacy is a rare, sovereign gift from God and that lifelong singleness is a vocation only for those given that gift. They contrast “gift of celibacy” with “vocation of singleness,” insisting marriage is honorable and not spiritually inferior, rejecting the idea that celibacy is a higher tier of Christianity. They claim most men lack celibacy because lust and sexual desire reveal the absence of the gift, critique mandatory clerical celibacy (including Catholicism), and use Martin Luther as an example of misapplied celibacy ideals. Addressing a modern singleness epidemic, they urge most men to pursue marriage sooner rather than later, while offering a caveat that some men may need to delay marriage for elite institutional roles and must exercise extreme sexual self-control. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com Backwards Planning Financial Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?

This Right Response Ministries podcast episode reads 2 Samuel 18:9–15 and uses Absalom’s rebellion and death as an example of Old Testament typology, contrasting Absalom as an anti-type with Jesus as the obedient Son of David who is “hung on a tree” and pierced, not for His own sins but for His people. The hosts argue typology is a powerful apologetic for Christianity against Islam and Judaism, since it is grounded in real historical events rather than allegory, and it highlights the internal consistency and “majesty” of Scripture. They also discuss broader patterns such as Jesus as the true and better Israel, reenacting Israel’s story in His life and succeeding where Israel failed, and they clarify that the church is Israel by union with Christ, comprising both Jew and Gentile who believe in Jesus. *MINISTRY SPONSORS:* Genesis Gold Group Faith-Based Gold IRA: Genesis Gold Group helps Christians protect their retirement with physical precious metals aligned with scriptural stewardship principles. https://www.RightResponseBibleGold.com Backwards Planning Financial Want to build a financial legacy for your family with a plan that starts at the end goal?
