Guest: David Mitzenmacher, Associate Pastor, Grace Baptist Church, FL
Studies are showing what you are likely seeing with your own eyes—women, particularly younger women, are “radicalizing” in their worldview. In other words, moving away from a biblical worldview.
Who was prominent on the front lines against ICE as they arrested illegal immigrants in Minnesota? Women. Who was standing outside the courthouse cheering on Lindsay Clancy during the trial for murdering her three children? Women.
Of course these examples are anecdotal. But the data is not. A social media post showed the graph of a Gallup poll plotting the political ideology of young men and young women. The headline states: “Women have moved radically leftward, at a scale and speed with no modern precedent, while men have, on the whole, remained largely steady and unchanged. The partisan gap between young men and women almost doubled in the past 25 years.”
The radicalization of young women is not simply taking place in politics; it’s moving professing Christian women in evangelical churches to take moral positions at odds with Scripture.
In his recent column titled, “We Need to Talk about the Radicalization of Young Women,” David Mitzenmacher, chairman of Founders Ministries and pastor at Grace Baptist Church in Cape Coral Florida, writes: “Young Christian women are consistently more supportive of abortion, same-sex marriage, and broader LGBTQ+ acceptance than their male peers.”
What is driving this leftward shift? What can women do to fortify themselves against the internal and external pressures to conform to the world? What should pastors, parents, and husbands be doing?
David Mitzenmacher joins us this weekend to discuss this troubling development that seeks to destroy God’s wise and wonderful design for women.

GUEST: PASTOR JOE RIGNEY, author, Leadership and The Sin of Empathy
Have you ever wondered why so many feminists support biological boys who identify as girls being able to compete against and defeat biological girls in girls’ sporting events?
Or why is nary a peep uttered by those on the left against Somali Muslim immigrants in Minnesota who defrauded taxpayers of over $9 billion? But in the next second these same people are out on the streets screaming and interfering with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who are tasked with finding and deporting illegal immigrants, many of whom having committed additional crimes while here?
The animating motivation behind these scenarios and countless more is a misguided form of empathy.Empathy means “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” It has some crossover with sympathy and compassion, which are biblical qualities. God is compassionate. Christ understands and sympathizes with our weaknesses and sufferings and believers are to be like Him.
Hebrews 4:15 confirms this: “For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.”
Colossians 3:12-13 extols that we show compassion: “as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.”
So while sympathy and compassion are biblical virtues, there is a corrupted form of empathy today which serves as a sacred virtue of the left that is blind to moral truth and negative consequences because the object of their empathy holds an idolized status of being oppressed.
So going back to the aforementioned examples, girls missing opportunities in sports or getting injured or defeated by biological boys is ignored for the greater good of helping the purportedly oppressed “trans community” feel accepted.
It’s more important to be welcoming to our Somali Muslim neighbors than to worry about billions in taxpayer fraud. And the illegal immigrants in the shadows among us need protection, never mind that they broke the law to enter and many have committed serious crimes, all the while taking advantage of our taxpayer funded social services like welfare, education, and health care.
Our guest this weekend, Joe Rigney, author of Leadership and The Sin of Empathy and associate pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, will explain how untethered empathy goes far beyond the biblical call for compassion and instead is used to manipulate people into supporting leftist power and policies. Because how cold, bigoted, hateful, racist, and homophobic must you be to not share in their so-called empathy?
When you begin to see this emotional blackmail taking place in our society and the church, you will see how important it is for Christians and pastors to speak clearly and boldly with truth and grace.

GUEST: MISSY ROEPNACK, Christian Writer and Teacher
On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy, a former labor-and-delivery nurse in Massachusetts, sent her husband out for some errands, and while he was away, took their three children—Cora (5), Dawson (3), and Callan (8 months)—into the basement and one by one strangled them to death.
Fast forward to this year and the recent murder trial for Lindsay Clancy. Women in pink shirts amassed outside the courthouse day after day, not to demand justice for Clancy’s three children, but to cheer her on and urge acquital.
But why? The surface reason is that Lindsay was suffering from mental illness where she was not able to understand what she was doing. Postpartum depression and possibly antidepressants caused a “psychotic break” to occur. Thus, the “I am Lindsay” supporters outside the courthouse and around the country emphasized that this poor woman was a victim who should be acquitted rather than be found culpable for murder.The jury deliberated and finally submitted their verdict: Eleven of twelve voted to acquit Lindsay Clancy of murder while just one held firm that she should be held accountable. Because of a non-unanimous verdict, the case ended in a mistrial.
So what does the Lindsay Clancy case say about our justice system and the worldview of our society? How is the “second victim” narrative employed for women who murder their children or abort their unborn babies?
Missy Roepnack is the mother of nine children and has spent years doing sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics. Missy recently wrote a series of articles on the Lindsay Clancy case, one of which appears in the Sept-Oct 2026 issue of The Christian Worldview Journal. She joins us to discuss the worldview at play in this case that has drawn national attention.

Guest: Pastor Travis Allen, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)
It was a beautiful fall evening at Stone House Farm in Jordan, MN for our recent Speaker Series event featuring Travis Allen, pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO and former Managing Director of Grace to You and member of the U.S. Navy Seal teams.
135 attendees gathered at the farm for a time of fellowship and dinner on the lawn beside the stone farmhouse, followed by dessert and coffee. Then, as the sun made its downward arc over the rural landscape, we all gathered outside the North Barn for an interview with Travis about current events and issues of the faith. It was a blessed time.
We weren’t able to fit the entire interview with Travis into today’s program but you will hear most of it. So let’s get out to Stone House Farm for this interview with Travis Allen at our recent Speaker Series event.

GUEST: CAL BEISNER, author, Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice
Socialism has become mainstream in America. Political candidates representing the Democratic Socialists of America Party are winning elections across the country. Their website says this:
“Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism. You don’t really have bills anymore. You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance. You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.
If we lived in a classless society and governed ourselves, we could freely build a world without war or poverty. Building this world is the guiding star of our movement. When we labor for our common good instead of private profit, we can all have a secure and dignified life, and use our time and talents how we wish.”
We, we, we. Just like the rebels of Babel in Genesis 11, building their city and tower in opposition to God.
Our guest this weekend to discuss the rise of socialism is Cal Beisner, founder and president of The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, an organization that “advocates for policies that lift people out of poverty through principles such as private property rights, entrepreneurship, free trade, limited government, and access to abundant, affordable, and reliable energy.”
Cal is also the author of two helpful booklets related to this topic that you will be able to order from us: Social Justice vs. Biblical Justice and Is Capitalism Bad for the Environment?
