The End of End Times Theology with Daniel Hummel
Examining the Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism
If your faith was affected by the Left Behind series, you may be entitled to financial compensation. Not really, but can we talk about how many Americans have been impacted by the teachings of dispensationalism? That’s what happens today when Daniel Hummel, author of “The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism,” joins Keith on the pod!

The Meritocracy Myth with Daniel Markovits
If you grew up in the U.S., you’ve probably believed (and maybe you still do!) that advantage should be earned through ability and effort. You get ahead in this world based on your accomplishments. Right? Well, not so fast. What if this foundational American axiom is all a myth? Daniel Markovits, a professor at Yale and author of “The Meritocracy Trap,” joins Keith on the pod today to discuss. He starts by pointing out the problems with modern-day meritocracy: It feeds inequality, dismantles the middle class, and gives an unfair advantage to the elite. But what other options do we have as a country if our achievement-oriented society isn’t working? And does Markovits attribute his own successes to hard work and good choices or sheer luck? Plus, considering the claims of figures like Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump, and singer Oliver Anthony, does he believe that more and more Americans are “waking up” to the meritocracy myth?

Is a Smartphone a Dumb Idea for Kids?
What’s happening to Gen Z? Since 2010, this generation has seen a 150% increase in depression. One in four teen girls reports experiencing a major depressive disorder in the last year. 37% of college students report feeling anxious “all the time.” New research shows that social media is no longer just a correlation to this problem, but the root cause. Drawing data from Jonathan Haidt’s latest book, “The Anxious Generation,” Keith and Patrick team up on the pod to examine Gen Z’s current mental health crisis. Hear how smartphones and social media *literally* rewire a child’s developing brain and how this leads to negative outcomes such as less sleep, higher rates of major depressive disorders, loneliness, suicidal tendencies, poor education, eating disorders, and more. Plus, when is the worst time to give a boy and a girl a smartphone, and how does gender play a distinct role? Are we all, adults included, addicted to our phones? And what about parental pushbacks to withholding smartphones from children? Shouldn’t kids have a phone in case of an emergency? Listen now and learn some practical next steps you can take to protect your children from these devices that are destroying their mental health.Have you benefitted personally from Truth Over Tribe or seen it have a positive effect on someone you know? have you used the podcast, book, or blog as a catalyst for conversation on polarizing topics?We want to hear about it!Share your story at choosetruthovertribe.com/story.Ok, truth time...

Making Pro-Lifers Less Weird with Josh Brahm
There’s no doubt that abortion will take center stage in this year’s election. From Roe v. Wade’s overturning to IVF controversies to Trump’s recent abortion stance to surprising state laws surrounding the issue, abortion is all over the news right now and Josh Brahm joins us this week to discuss. But he’s not the stereotypical pro-lifer. In fact, he claims that one of the main goals of his organization, Equal Rights Institute, is to “help make pro-lifers less weird” by bringing more apologetics to the movement. Hear him explain why he wasn’t surprised by conservative states passing more permissive abortion laws post-Roe. And what common ground can pro-lifers find with Trump, given his recent abortion stance? How should pro-life people feel about exceptions to abortion, like rape, incest, and the health of the mother? What are his thoughts on IVF? Josh also addresses our recent episode with Bradley Pierce and why he isn’t an abortion abolitionist. Plus, is the pro-life movement doomed to decline with religious decline? Listen now!
