Joel Webbon: I’m a Liberal and So Are You – The Sin We All Must Repent Of
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 re

How Do I Leave My Gay PCA Church? | 2 Timothy 2:2
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 ca
Is Joel's New Conference Too Ecumenical? | Luke 9:49-50
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 Christ
Want To Suppress False Worship? Here's the (American) Way to Do It
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”
The Reformation, The State, & The Church | Pt. 1 | 2 Kings 23:5-9
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/specie
A Survey Just Exposed What the PCA Really Believes - The PCA Report on Christian Nationalism Pt. 2
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
"Satan Himself Could Have Written This Letter" - The PCA Report on Christian Nationalism Pt. 1
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 PC
Cultivating the New Elite | Psalm 18:32-34
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
The Effeminate Will Not Inherit The Kingdom Of Heaven | 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
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
That Time Jesus Talked About Receiving Lands, Wealth, & Family For Faithfulness | Matthew 19:23-30
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 j
Zachary Garris Defrocked By The Presbyterian Church...For Believing The Bible | Ezekiel 34:1-7
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.

Celibacy Is Exceedingly Rare & Singleness Is A Curse | Matthew 19:10-12
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 Ch
The Rebel Son and the True Son - Introduction to Biblical Typology | 2 Samuel 18:9-15
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, si
Gold Built The West | Leviticus 19:35-36
This episode opens with Leviticus 19:35–36 on honest weights and measures and applies the biblical idea of justice to money, commerce, and economic life. The hosts connect classical Christian thought (including Thomas Aquinas) to the moral question of debased currency, arguing that fiat money’s ongoing devaluation creates unequal exchange over time. Guest Bill Armor discusses why gold has historic
You're Not Called To Pastor (Unless This Is True) | 1 Timothy 4:11-16
Using 1 Timothy 4:11–16 and the elder qualifications of 1 Timothy 3, this episode explains pastoral calling and ordination by outlining the key requirements for ministry. Pastor Joel argues that the first qualification is calling—an inward desire to be an elder—followed by character and competency, especially being “apt to teach” so others profit from Scripture. He distinguishes true calling from
The Christian Doctrine of Traducianism | Psalm 139:13–17
The episode opens with Psalm 139:13–17. They discuss traducianism—the view that a child’s soul is generated through parents rather than created ex nihilo at conception—using Freud vs. Jung to frame individualism versus shared, inherited realities, and drawing on examples from Tolkien, “blood,” and spiritual “longings.” They contrast creationism of the soul with traducianism and a generational “thi
AI Will Force Conservatives To Be Socialists | Genesis 2:15
On this episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast, the hosts discuss AI’s rapid advance and the likelihood that it will automate a massive share of both knowledge work and manual labor, arguing this isn’t comparable to past innovations like the cotton gin because AI can be embodied in robots that outperform humans in productivity, speed, and safety. They contend this shift will collapse fam
Christianity Is OBJECTIVE | Romans 10:9-10
This episode uses Romans 10:9–10 and 1 John 1:7–9 to address why many Christians struggle with assurance of salvation, arguing that Christianity is objective and not grounded in fluctuating feelings. The hosts contrast Protestant introspection and “navel-gazing” with Rome’s overly mechanical objectivity, noting pitfalls on both sides, and discuss how modern psychologizing has separated emotions fr
Why Serious Men Don’t Drink Much | Psalm 104:13-15
In this Right Response Ministries podcast episode, the hosts discuss what Scripture teaches about alcohol, emphasizing that the Bible condemns drunkenness while also presenting wine as a blessing tied to celebration and reward.

Piety, Not Pietism | 1 Timothy 5:1-4
In this episode Wesley Todd, Pastor Joel, and Antonio discuss the difference between biblical piety and evangelical pietism, beginning with 1 Timothy 5:1–4 and Calvin’s definition of piety as reverence joined with love for God.

What Is Just War Theory? | Exodus 22:2-3
In this episode of the Right Response podcast, the hosts discuss the Christian tradition of just war theory, tracing its development from Augustine to Aquinas and explaining why it matters for distinguishing justified killing from murder. They outline core criteria for going to war (jus ad bellum)—legitimate authority, just cause, right intention, last resort, proportionality, probability of succe
There Are Different Levels of Hell | Luke 12:47-48
This episode argues against the common evangelical claim that “all sin is equal,” using Luke 12:47–48 to emphasize that greater knowledge of God’s will brings greater culpability and stricter judgment. The hosts discuss temporal judgments in Scripture (including Sodom and Gomorrah) and contend that eternal punishment also varies in severity based on both the nature of sins committed and the degree
Can History Prove The Resurrection? | 1 Corinthians 15:1-7
During Holy Week, Wesley Todd, joined by Pastor Joel Webbon and Antonio Griffith, reads 1 Corinthians 15:1–7 and argues that Christianity hinges on Jesus’ bodily resurrection as the seal of His saving work and the basis of Christian hope. They outline early evidence for the resurrection, including Paul’s use of an earlier creed within two decades of the crucifixion, the independent Gospel accounts
Lean Into Hope - Hebrews 11:1-3
This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast discusses Christian hope in bleak times, contrasting postmillennial confidence in Christ’s victory with both “black pill” cynicism and naïve “hopium.” The hosts describe economic and geopolitical pressures—AI-driven job loss, inflation, war, and political disillusionment—and argue that real hope is grounded in faith, sober realism, and God’s pr
Evangelical Pastors Conflate Earthly Marriage & Christ’s Marriage To The Church | Matthew 22:23-30
The episode opens with Matthew 22:23–30 to argue that marriage belongs to the temporal “common kingdom,” not the eternal kingdom, and uses this framework to address viral online praise of a Christian man marrying a converted but formerly promiscuous woman. The hosts distinguish between micro-level pastoral counsel—where such marriages are permissible for repentant Christians—and macro-level messag
Young Men, Get A Pre-Nup | Luke 16:1-13
The episode opens with Luke 16:1–13 and uses Jesus’ commendation of the shrewd steward to frame a discussion of biblical prudence—being wise as serpents while innocent as doves—without endorsing sin. Wesley Todd, Pastor Joel Webbon, and Antonio Griffith trace how marriage and divorce shifted from English common law (including coverture and limited divorce) to modern no-fault divorce, arguing that
The Myth of "Equality" | 1 Corinthians 12:12-14
This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast discusses the “doctrine of inequality” and critiques modern egalitarianism as a recent Enlightenment development tied to humanism, individualism, and progressive politics. Using 1 Corinthians 12, the hosts argue Scripture teaches unity with real distinctions—diverse members in one body—where some parts are more “comely” yet all are necessary, a
Wealth For Dominion, Not Idolatry | Proverbs 13:22
The episode opens with Proverbs 13:22 and a discussion of building multi-generational inheritance amid concerns about impending economic turmoil driven by sticky inflation, uncertain Fed rate cuts, and geopolitical risks affecting oil and markets.

Beware The Love of Money | 1 Timothy 6:17-19
This episode of the Right Response Ministries podcast discusses 1 Timothy 6:17–19 and argues that being rich is not inherently sinful, but Christians must avoid trusting in riches and instead be rich in good works, generosity, and contentment.

Covenant Renewal Worship | Hebrews 12:18-24
The episode opens with Hebrews 12:18–24 and explains Sunday worship as covenant renewal: by faith, believers are invited to ascend God’s holy mountain and gather with the heavenly Jerusalem, angels, and Jesus the mediator of the new covenant. The hosts define biblical covenant as a sovereign, divinely administered bond with blessings and curses, tracing the covenant of life/works with Adam, its fa
Partial Preterism: The Apocalyptic End Of The Old Covenant | Matthew 16:24-28
This Right Response Ministries podcast examines why many American Christians, especially evangelicals, misunderstand eschatology due to poor hermeneutics. Using Matthew 16:24–28, the hosts argue that Jesus describes two related but distinct comings: a future, final physical return and universal judgment (v.27) and a near-term “coming” fulfilled in AD 70 through a spiritual, local judgment on Jerus
Harboring Bitterness Vs. Desiring Justice | Ephesians 4:31-32
The episode opens with Ephesians 4:31–32 and explores bitterness primarily as it relates to struggling to forgive. Drawing from pastoral counseling, the host argues many Christians mistake ongoing anger or frustration for unforgiveness, when it may instead reflect a separate category: a God-given desire for temporal justice. Using the example of forgiving a repentant murderer while still affirming
Practical Tools Every Man Must Use To Conquer Porn | Revelation 3:4-6
This episode continues a two-part series on defeating pornography, opening with Revelation 3:4–6 and emphasizing Jesus’ promise of victory to those who overcome.
