Why the World Economic Forum Wants Depopulation

In this episode of the Current Reality Podcast, Michael and Wade address the deadly and dehumanizing issue of population control, critiquing the Darwinian idea that the Earth is overpopulated, championed by Paul Ehrlich, Planned Parenthood, and the World Economic Forum. They argue against viewing humans merely as consumers, advocating instead for the biblical view of humans as creators and stewards of Earth, made in God's image. The discussion extends to questioning modern societal trends of prioritizing personal luxury over building households, drawing on teachings from Augustine and Jerome. This episode aims to reshape the listener's understanding of the value of children and the importance of procreation within marriage. It underlines the intrinsic value of human life and the sanctity of family as central to Christian belief, encouraging a departure from the societal norm of willful childlessness among married couples for personal gratification.

Institutions: When to Stay and Fight, When to Leave

Show Notes
In this episode, Michael and Wade delve into the themes of institutional loyalty, conservative resurgence, and the importance of staying engaged in reform efforts within Christian institutions.
They dissect the ethos of leaving versus staying and fighting within flawed organizations, drawing parallels with broader societal and political examples to underline their message. They address the challenges of navigating imperfections within Christian denominations, particularly highlighting the Southern Baptist Convention as a case study for potential reform and resurgence. Reflecting on personal journeys and changes in theological stances, they stress the value of patience, teaching, and learning in the context of faith. Throughout, the discussion is peppered with references to biblical teachings, showcasing how scripture informs their perspective on engagement versus withdrawal from imperfect institutions.
