Summary

Are Christians being manipulated by propaganda, and do most believers even realize it? In this episode, Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo, Paul Cunningham confront the rise of viral propaganda, emotional manipulation, and misinformation surrounding ICE and cultural outrage, calling Christians to think biblically rather than react emotionally; from there, the conversation moves to Mark 10, where Jesus radically redefines greatness, power, and authority through service and sacrifice, before closing with a clear, no-spin theological examination of Mormonism, addressing whether it aligns with biblical Christianity and why Scripture repeatedly warns against “another Jesus” and “another gospel.” You’ll learn: How propaganda and emotional manipulation shape public perception Why Proverbs 18:17 is critical in a viral-media culture What Jesus actually teaches about greatness and authority in Mark 10 The biblical definition of servant leadership Why Mormonism differs fundamentally from Christianity How to test spiritual claims, angelic revelations, and new scripture biblically 👉 Subscribe for weekly conversations on faith, culture, and biblical truth 👉 Comment “HAT” to enter this week’s Live Free giveaway 👉 Download the Lakepointe Church App: Text APP to 20411 Stand firm.

We just got Jesus juked on that. On Captain Planet. we were doing a vintage early 90s cartoon dive. How did you, why did you bring up Captain Planet? He did. I said he was brought up like two times past week. He said it was a favorite show. To show people what the Trinity is not, but then also what Mormonism kind of is.
