Ideas Have Consequences

By: Disciple Nations Alliance
  • Summary

  • Everything that we see around us is the product of ideas, of ideologies, of worldviews. That's where everything starts. Worldviews are not all the same, and the differences matter a lot. How do you judge a tree? By its fruits. How do you judge a worldview? By its physical, tangible, observable fruit. The things it produces. Ideas that are noble and true produce beauty, abundance, and human flourishing. Poisonous ideas produce ugliness. They destroy and dehumanize. It really is that simple. Welcome to Ideas Have Consequences, the podcast of Disciple Nations Alliance, where we prepare followers of Christ to better understand the true ideas that lead to human flourishing while fighting against poisonous ideas that destroy nations. Join us, and prepare your minds for action!

  • Underlying Worldviews: DEI & Climate Alarmism | Darrell Harrison
    Mar 27 2025

    Cultural and political debates around DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and climate change dominate headlines—but what deeper ideas are fueling these movements? Why did these ideas gain such traction, and how should Christians respond? Instead of impulsively reacting to the latest controversies, we explore how to replace false ideas with biblical truth, offering a transformative alternative for meaningful change. Darrell Harrison is the lead host of the well-known Just Thinking podcast and a fellow at the Black Theology and Leadership Institute at Princeton Theological Seminary. He helps us move beyond surface-level arguments and uncover the worldviews shaping these narratives.

  • AI is Here! And it's Reshaping Humanity
    Mar 19 2025

    AI is here—it’s reshaping how we see ourselves and our place in the world. In this episode, we use a biblical lens to wrestle with big questions raised by AI. What worldviews are shaping its development? How might it impact our relationship with God, others, ourselves, and even creation?

    AI brings both promise and concern—offering breakthroughs in almost every industry while also challenging creativity, work, and human connection. Rather than reacting with fear or blind optimism, let's explore together how to think critically about AI and its role in our lives. How can we approach this new reality with discernment and faith?

  • Truth or Lies? Learn to Analyze Hot Topics Like BLM and AI
    Mar 12 2025

    From the rise of AI to movements like Black Lives Matter, and whatever the next big issue will be, Christians face a world filled with compelling but deceptive narratives and trends. We believe this is a major weakness in the Church today—but it doesn't have to be. Christians must develop a comprehensive biblical worldview to navigate the pressing issues of our time with wisdom and conviction.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why we must look beyond surface-level branding to uncover deeper worldview assumptions
    • The importance of examining a movement’s fruit and the beliefs of its founders
    • The reality that good and evil run through every human heart—not between groups
    • How modern ideologies often strip people of personal agency and responsibility
    • The need for Christians to ask deeper questions about cultural norms and practices
    • How cultural definitions of words often differ from biblical meanings
    • Why critical thinking requires evaluating the worldview behind policies and movements
    • The truth that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it speaks to every area of life and culture
