Counter Cultural With Steve Deace

Theology: a topic the culture is more confused about than maybe anything else. As such, Steve Deace explores what the Bible has to say about the qualifications a public leader (politician) needs to meet.

Steve and the team examine the action of Chick-fil-A after the Orlando terror attacks -- and deduce that Chick-fil-A can be an example for Christians and conservatives to follow.

Steve and the team remember 'the greatest of all time', Muhammad Ali -- and look at one particular quote of his.

Steve went to the new 'Angry Birds' movie for family movie night -- and was pleasantly surprised by what he saw. He and the team discuss why the type of storytelling found in this movie should be reproduced more often.

Steve and the team have an unconventional answer for conservatives wondering what the next step is for the church and conservative causes across the United States.

‘Donald Trump is like Nebuchadnezzar’, ‘Donald Trump is like biblical character x’ — more and more Trump supporters seem to be taking scripture out of context to justify their support for him. Steve explains why doing this might win this election, but lose the next generation.  

The firing of legendary MLB pitcher Curt Schilling by ESPN over his opinion on the North Carolina bathroom law was one thing -- but what ESPN did next entered territory we haven't seen yet from the secular inquisition.

Biggest March opening ever. Second-best Warner Bros. opening. 7th-highest opening weekend ever. And 29% on Rotten Tomatos.

Any more, it seems no news is good news when it comes to the state of our culture. With the cult of Donald Trump, we're witnessing the flip side of the Obamaistas from eight years ago.

Steve and the team discuss some of their thoughts on Easter and Holy week and examine the state of American culture.  

With Black Lives Matters protesters crashing a Donald Trump rally in Chicago and the ensuing chaos we saw, it's clear the mob culture of shutting down and drowning out dissenting opinions is not limited to leftists.

Steve and the team discuss some examples of staying on message and on principle in the midst of a chaotic political environment.

What's the difference between a cult and a movement, and why are some people calling Donald Trump's campaign a cult?   Steve and the team examine five ways to identify a cult.
