Unapologetic with Mike Eppel

Does Love Require Approval?

Mike begins the discussion on transgenderism by asking, "does love require approval?". With transgenderism on the rise in western countries, many people think that the best way to love gender confused people is by affirming their new identity as the opposite sex. While this approach may seem loving on the surface, it is anything but loving to encourage people to pursue their self-destructive ideas. 

The Word of the Lord

Mike takes a break from The Case for Biblical Sexuality series to allow listeners to hear a sermon that he gave on the subject of special revelation. While there are some things about God that everyone can know because they are evident in creation, there are other things that God must specially reveal to us if we are to know them. This sermon discusses not only what special revelation is, but also its purpose in God's greater plan of redemption.

Should Homosexuality Be a Protected Class?

Mike discusses how making homosexuality into a protected class is unjust because it offers rights to homosexuals that are not available to the normal population. Additionally, he reiterates the necessity for Christians to be involved in politics if they are to secure their ability to preach the gospel and prevent immoral policies. 

What are the Most Important Political Issues?

Mike invites his wife, Katie, on the podcast to discuss whether some political issues are more important for Christians to address than others. If some are more important, what are they? What makes them more significant than other political considerations? 

Should Christians Disobey the Government?

Mike discusses the biblical principles that can help guide Christians as to when it is permissible, or even morally good, for them to disobey the government. 

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

Mike delivers a sermon on the subjects of general revelation and natural theology, explaining that God, in fact, reveals himself to all beings everywhere. Those who deny God's existence or His moral law do not do so for a lack of knowledge about God, but out of an unwillingness to accept the knowledge that is plainly revealed to them. 

The "New Religion"

Mike discusses how the "Religion of Sex" has come to dominate nearly every facet of life, from the classroom to the workplace, and notes the totalitarian manner in which this new religion is being imposed upon the American people. Those who oppose this belief system are not tolerated; they are defamed, berated, and despised. 

Why does the government care about marriage?

Mike discusses the government's purpose for getting involved in marriage as well as the three approaches the government can take towards a given behavior (prohibit, permit, and promote). The government has no reason to endorse same sex marriage because such a union does not benefit society but, in fact, causes harm to it.  

Is Same Sex Marriage in the Constitution?

Mike discusses the flawed reasoning by which the supreme court deemed same sex marriage to be a legal right in 2015. To interpret such a right into the constitution not only threatens natural marriage, but other rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of worship. 

The Great SURGE

Mike takes a break from the "Case for Biblical Sexuality Series" to present a sermon he gave on "The Great SURGE", a presentation that argues for the existence of the God based on the evidence found in the cosmos.
