#237 - Rod Martin
Recorded the morning after the 2026 midterms. Eric, Kevin McCullough and Rod D. Martin on what happened, why it happened and where Christians go from here. Eric opens with his post comparing this moment to the generals who undercut George Washington in 1776, and with Romans 8:28.Kevin McCullough of That KEVIN Show, back after his Election Day read, argues gas prices drove the result, and why he believes the church needs to be "praying twice as much as we are acting." Then Rod D. Martin, founder and CEO of Martin Capital and author of Trump's New World Re-Order (foreword by Eric), on why he argues the president still holds his full executive power, what Reagan's 1982 midterm loss and 1984 landslide may say about 2028, and why he says many young voters think like victims even when they reject woke ideas.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/me...🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/00:00 "A Beautiful Morning"Chapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

#236 - Willy Rice
Recorded on Election Day, Nov. 3, 2026. Dr. Willy Rice, the new president of the Southern Baptist Convention, on what our choices mean for our grandchildren and the millions of Christians he estimates may not vote, and Kevin McCullough with his Election Day read. Eric opens by saying why he believes not voting is a sin. Then Dr. Rice, pastor of Calvary Church in Clearwater, Florida, for 22 years, explains why he says pastors who stepped back from cultural issues to be more effective "lost our voice," and why he estimates around 30 million evangelicals may not vote. Eric recalls what Dietrich Bonhoeffer said about pastors outside the Confessing Church.Kevin McCullough, host of That KEVIN Show and a Townhall.com columnist, on the House and Senate seats in play, the races in Texas, Michigan, Florida, Ohio and New York, what he says doesn't change even if Republicans lose, and the early returns he's watching: South Carolina, Maine and Florida.

#235 - Ed Martin
An Uber driver who wouldn't turn off the music, a viral AI video of President Trump 'unveiling' a portrait of Jesus that never happened, and former U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin on what he says he found in Jack Smith's emails. First, the ride to the airport, and why Eric prayed for that driver the whole way. Then a conservative friend's post that Eric calls antisemitic, and the "Judas" text that ended the friendship. And an AI video, posted in April 2026 and still circulating, of President Trump pulling back a curtain to reveal a portrait of Jesus. It never happened: the real footage, from a March 2025 Fox News tour, shows the Declaration of Independence. "If you have to lie and play that game, you know you're not serving Jesus." Co-host Chris Himes adds his own run-in with what he calls spiritual warfare, and Eric explains why Jesus is the only answer to real evil.Ed Martin, former director of the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group and former interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, left the Justice Department in August. He talks about the 6 or 7 years he worked alongside Phyllis Schlafly, the January 6 defendants he represented pro bono, why he says "we got to finish the job," and what he says he wants for Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith. He also talks about the D.C. Bar charges against him and his new nonprofit, the Mercy Project, launching Dec. 8, to help ordinary Americans seek clemency.Eric's new book, Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World, is available wherever books are sold.

#234 - Chuck Swindoll
Chuck Swindoll has been in ministry for 62 years, but as a boy he could barely put a sentence together. "One of my earliest memories is my mother telling me that I was a mistake," he tells Eric. By junior high he stuttered so badly he wanted to hide. Then Richard Nieme, a drama and speech teacher who had just come to Milby High School in Houston from New York, tapped him on the shoulder at his locker: "Charles, I want you in my debate class." His first response was, "Me?" Within six months he was putting sentences together, and he played the lead in the senior play "without a stammer, stutter or fear."Now Pastor Chuck Swindoll talks with Eric about his new memoir, Awakened by Grace: The Life Story of Chuck Swindoll. He covers the Marine Corps years on Okinawa, where a mentor told him, "Of course you're a natural"; how Dallas Theological Seminary accepted him on probation and later asked him to be its fourth president; how Insight for Living began; why "the laughter should have never left the pulpit"; and his 71-year marriage to Cynthia: "I tell her I love her every night."Chuck Swindoll is the founder of Insight for Living, the founding pastor of Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas, and a former president of Dallas Theological Seminary. Awakened by Grace (Thomas Nelson) is available wherever books are sold. Learn more at insight.org.

#223 - Ryan Bethea
Halloween is days away, and Allie Beth Stuckey has Christians arguing about horror films. On her Relatable podcast she said believers shouldn't be fans of horror in general. Is she right? Eric has strong views, and he talks it through with Ryan Bethea, creator and host of The Exorcist Files, who thinks t⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World📕: https://a.co/d/0ir3NlapTODAY'S SPONSORS:🪙 Grace Precious Metals: https://www.metaxasmetals.com/🛏️ MyPillow — Save BIG with code ERIC: https://www.mypillow.com/☀️ Chapter -- Honest, fast, and free Medicare plan guidance: https://askchapter.com/metaxas/🦅 Patriot Mobile -- America's ONLY Christian Conservative Wireless Provider: https://patriotmobile.com/partners/metaxas🏛️ Socrates in the City CRUISE: https://socratesinthecity.com/cruise/- - -LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/@ericmetaxas#EricMetaxas #TheEricMetaxasShow #News #PoliticsChapter and its affiliates are not connected with or endorsed by any government entity or the federal Medicare program.

#232 - Dr. Mark Christian
Dr. Mark Christian grew up in Egypt as the firstborn son of a respected physician and religious leader. He was leading prayers in mosques by age nine and later led prayers in Mecca. He studied hard to prove his faith was true, and the more he studied, the more questions he had. Asking them, he says, made him a threat to his own father. In his memoir, The Apostate: My Search for Truth, he tells what happened next: a call at dawn to his father's old medical office, a fire trap behind the door, and the stumble on a rug that he and Eric believe saved his life. Then, in the back of an ambulance, came the decision that changed everything: "I will follow Jesus, God of love."Eric was handed this book at an event and couldn't put it down. Here's why. And if you know someone who is quietly asking hard questions about their faith, Eric says, share this so they know they're not crazy.Dr. Mark Christian (a pen name) is the founder of Global Faith Institute in Omaha, Nebraska, and the president of the Truth and Freedom Foundation. The Apostate: My Search for Truth (Fidelis Publishing) is available at bookstores and Amazon. Global Faith: globalfaith.org.

#230 - Allen Jackson
Pastor Allen Jackson of World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, has a challenge for "spectator" Christians: stop sitting in the stands and complaining. Too many believers, he says, sit out with excuses like "I won't support Donald Trump because he doesn't talk nice, or I won't support Pete Hegseth because he has a tattoo or whatever nonsense." His answer: "I would rather be engaged." He explains why "be kind" is not the 11th commandment ("the goal isn't to be kind to wickedness; the goal is to overcome evil with good") and why prayer comes first. His new book is Let's Pray for America: 30 Prayers for Our Nation's Future. And he has a parable about a Ferrari, some dirt and a tomato patch that you won't forget.Then Oxford theologian Alister McGrath, on the release day of his new book, Rethinking Christianity (Thomas Nelson). He asks: why won't Christianity stay buried? McGrath says Oxford students used to ask him to prove that Christianity makes sense. Now they ask whether it can give them meaning, purpose and a reason to live. He and Eric also talk about why faith and science aren't enemies, what skeptics taught him, and why C.S. Lewis, the atheist who became a Christian, still reaches people that many church leaders can't.Plus, the Bonhoeffer film returns to theaters January 24–27.

#230 - John Zmirak
The midterms are one week away, and Eric has a warning for every Christian: "If you do not vote, your soul is in danger." John Zmirak of The Stream joins Eric to talk about what's at stake on November 3, why Eric is encouraged that the Justice Department is finally looking into Ilhan Omar, and why Zmirak says candidates like Ilhan Omar and Michigan's Abdul El-Sayed are "laughing at" Christians who stay home.First, a debate Eric has wanted to have: did Jesus have brothers and sisters? Zmirak explains that Martin Luther, the early Anglicans and "basically every Christian before the year 1600" believed Mary remained a virgin. He makes his own argument about why a bloodline of Jesus would have ruled the church for centuries if it had existed. Then the two friends spar over praying to Mary and the saints. Eric's reply: "She's the mother of the judge. So who are you kidding?"Plus, Eric is back home in Danbury, Connecticut, where he learned that his childhood trumpet teacher, who played taps on Flag Day 1973, is still alive in his 90s. He also calls On the Waterfront "a profound Christian film," and announces that Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. returns for a special theatrical event January 24–27. Ask your church to request a theater at bonhoeffermovie.com.Join Eric for the Socrates in the City live broadcast with Ignat Solzhenitsyn on November 12 and the annual Christmas Gala on December 9: socratesinthecity.com.
