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!

  • Making Theology Practical: Arturo Cuba’s Challenge | DNA Forum 2025 Special
    May 2 2025

    What if the key to transforming communities isn’t money, resources, or even a buttoned-up theology—but something far more foundational?

    In this special episode, we’re giving you a taste of the kind of teaching you’ll experience at the upcoming DNA Global Forum this August in Panama City. Join us as we revisit a compelling keynote from our last Forum, delivered by one of DNA’s most influential trainers, Arturo Cuba.

    Drawing from over two decades of grassroots discipleship in rural Latin America, Cuba challenges conventional evangelical thinking with bold clarity: “People do not live out of theologies. People live out of the things that make sense in their lives.” His message unpacks how biblical principles—taught as life-shaping truths rather than abstract theology—have the power to bring deep, lasting change.

    Want more of this kind of insight? If you were invited, don’t miss the 2025 DNA Global Forum, August 4–8 in Panama City. Our theme: The Essential Role of the Local Church in Discipling Nations.

  • Let’s Talk AI from a Biblical Worldview Perspective | Brian Johnson
    Apr 30 2025

    AI offers incredible potential, from accelerating Bible translation to combating human trafficking and much more – but what else is at stake?

    Is AI dehumanizing you? If we're not careful, the mind-blowing capabilities of artificial intelligence will lure us into surrendering our discernment, knowledge, and intellect to this new pseudo-intelligence. Beyond information, people are turning to AI for companionship, while some want AI and technology to extend lifespan in a search for immortality.

    Today, we're joined by a fascinating guest: Brian Johnson, who brings over 30 years of leadership in emerging technology and cybersecurity to the table. He offers uniquely Christian perspectives on AI’s rapid rise and profound impact on humanity.

    Johnson helps us understand the last 50 years of technological development and explains the recent seismic shift from an "attention economy" to a "relational economy," where AI no longer just captures your focus—it mimics human relationships and connection. This raises deep questions about human identity and humanity’s age-old temptation to "become like God" through our own creations.

    Despite these dangers, this conversation is filled with hope. Brian shares how Christians can and should engage AI wisely—using it for Kingdom purposes. If you're ready to think deeply about faith, technology, and what it means to be human in an AI-driven world, this episode will equip and encourage you to stay grounded in God's unchanging truth.
