Unapologetic with Mike Eppel

Mike introduces his new series on philosophy, discussing the ideas of some of the earliest thinkers in the Western philosophical tradition. In this episode, Mike talks about the importance of foundational thinking, the objectives of early Greek philosophy, and the views of Thales of Miletus, the "father of Western philosophy." 

Mike discusses several disturbing trends among left wing officials and their supporters, such as helping children to transition without parental consent and  proposing that the state assume custody of children with parents who disagree with transgender ideology. 

Mike discusses how the current medical establishment is more concerned about legitimizing a mental illness rather than treating it, which is having detrimental consequences on those who struggle with gender disorientation. 

Mike discusses the high rates of suicide within the transgender population, which transgender activists frequently argue is the result of disapproval from the surrounding community. Research, however, suggests that pre-existing mental health conditions, rather than social criticism, is the more likely cause of transgender suicide.

Mike discusses some of the health hazards of attempting to transition to the opposite sex as well as the underlying indoctrination that makes such a transition seem not only possible, but noble.  

Mike discusses the five flaws of transgender ideology: 1) the design of the body proves there are only two genders, 2) transgenderism presupposes fixed genders, 3) biology is unchangeable but psychology is changeable, 4) sex is not assigned at birth, and 5) there is no basis for trans rights.

Mike preaches on 2 Peter chapter 3, discussing those who scoff at the second coming of Christ while providing a rationale for the apparent delay of Christ’s return.   

Mike continues his sermon series on 2 Peter, diving into chapter 2 which discusses false doctrine, the character of those who spread false doctrines, and the consequences that one can expect if they participate in false prophecy. 

Mike preaches on 2 Peter chapter 1, discussing how Christians are to confirm that they belong to Christ by following in His virtue. Additionally, Mike encourages the church to remember the truth that the claims of Christianity are not mythical, but grounded in the historical events witnessed by the disciples of Jesus. 

Mike takes a break from discussing the trans agenda to talk about the morality of Israel’s existence. Many people in the west believe that Israel is a nation guilty of genocide and oppression of innocent people, but this view falls apart under closer examination. On the whole, Israel is a virtuous nation that stands for the same objective democratic and moral principles that characterize the other great nations of the West.
