🎙️ Episode Title: Pride and Pentecost: Two Spirits, Two Kingdoms
📢 Host: Roland Albertus – Reasonable Christianity
🕊️ Theme: Spiritual Warfare, LGBTQ Ideology, and the Church’s Witness

In this bold and urgent episode, Roland Albertus exposes the spiritual tension at the heart of our cultural moment: a battle between two spirits and two kingdoms. While the world celebrates Pride Month with rainbow flags and slogans of self-love, the Church remembers Pentecost—the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the birth of a holy people set apart for God.

But is it just coincidence that these two events collide in the same month? Or is this a deliberate spiritual counterfeit?

You’ll discover:

• The theological meaning behind “Pride” and why it’s more than a cultural label—it’s a cosmic rebellion.
• The philosophical and sociological foundations of the LGBTQ movement—and how they conflict with biblical truth and human flourishing.
• How the rainbow, once a covenant sign of God’s mercy, has been inverted to symbolize self-worship and sexual autonomy.
• Why affirming rebellion is not love, and why tolerance is often the enemy of truth.
• How Christians must respond—not with rage or retreat, but with courage, clarity, and Christ-centered compassion.

This episode pulls no punches. It’s a polemic with purpose: to wake the Church, warn the culture, and witness to the truth.

🛡️ This is not a culture war. It’s a spiritual war.

🔥 "You are not your own—you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body."

What really happened at Pentecost—and why does it matter for us today?

In this deeply theological and pastorally grounded episode, Roland Albertus takes you far beyond the emotional excesses and doctrinal misunderstandings that often cloud our view of Pentecost. Instead, you’ll uncover Pentecost's roots in the Jewish Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), explore how Jesus fulfills its prophetic meaning, and discover how the Holy Spirit empowers believers not for spectacle, but for sanctification, mission, and Gospel-centered community.

You’ll learn:

• How Shavuot and Sinai point forward to Acts 2
• Why Jesus had to ascend before the Spirit could descend
• What the tongues of fire, wind, and languages really meant
• How Pentecost birthed the Church, transformed worship, and unified Jews and Gentiles
• Why Spirit-filled living is about holiness, truth, and Gospel witness—not hype

🕊️ This isn’t just a Pentecost message—it’s a call to recover the true power of the Holy Spirit in our lives and christian communities today.

In this episode of Reasonable Christianity, Roland Albertus explores one of the most overlooked moments in the Christian calendar: the Ascension of Jesus Christ. Why did Jesus have to leave? What does His departure mean for us today? With deep theological insight and rich biblical exposition, we uncover how the Ascension:

• Echoes Jewish marriage customs and the Bridegroom’s return
• Launches Pentecost and empowers the Church
• Establishes Jesus as our reigning King and heavenly High Priest

In this gripping and deeply biblical episode, Roland Albertus takes listeners behind the headlines of the unfolding P. Diddy scandal to uncover the spiritual truths that lie beneath the surface of fame, power, and moral collapse.

We confront the heavy allegations of sexual immorality, abuse, and exploitation—not just to comment on one man's downfall, but to ask: What does Scripture say about the culture that produces and protects this kind of power?

Topics include:

• The spiritual cost of sexual immorality
• How abuse and cultural decay stem from rejecting God's design
• The idol of success and the seductive power of celebrity
• A call to repentance, restoration, and Christ-centered living

This is more than an exposé—it’s a prophetic warning to a culture addicted to idolizing men who were never meant to be gods.

Is it reasonable to believe in miracles in our scientific age?

In this thought-provoking episode, host Roland Albertus combines rigorous apologetics with heartfelt pastoral care to explore the possibility—and the probability—of miracles. Drawing from Scripture, classical philosophy, science, and church history, Roland challenges the assumption that miracles are irrational or outdated. Instead, he argues that if God exists and created the universe, miracles are not only possible—they’re expected.

📖 Discover:

• What a biblical miracle truly is—and why definitions matter.
• How creation ex nihilo supports belief in supernatural intervention.
• Philosophical and scientific evidence that affirms rather than denies miracles.
• Why David Hume’s famous objection falls short.
• A biblical theology of miracles—and why they often accompany revelation.
• The greatest miracle of all: your salvation.

With powerful insights from C.S. Lewis, Thomas Aquinas, William Lane Craig, and Richard Swinburne, this episode equips believers to pray with boldness, evangelize with confidence, and walk in hope—knowing that the God who raised the dead still moves today.

🎧 Tune in and be reminded: your story isn’t closed to the miraculous.
