Culture & Christianity: The Allen Jackson Podcast

What does it look like to have a faith that's impossible to keep private? In this special re-air of Culture & Christianity, Pastor Allen revisits his conversation with Brad Arnold, lead singer of 3 Doors Down, whose remarkable testimony became the inspiration for Pastor Allen's Dangerous Faith sermon series. Brad shares how God met him at one of the darkest moments of his life, transformed his future, and gave him the courage to boldly share the hope of Jesus with thousands of people.
Brad passed away from cancer in February 2026, and his story lives on as a powerful reminder that faith isn't meant to stay inside the walls of the church. It's meant to be lived boldly wherever God has placed us. We pray this conversation encourages you to trust God's transforming power and inspires you to share your own God story with the people around you.

What kind of Christian does this moment require? Pastor Allen Jackson sits down with retired Green Beret and former Virginia legislator Nick Freitas for a conversation about the character, courage, and conviction needed to follow Christ in today's culture. They discuss biblical manhood and womanhood, raising strong children, America's Christian foundation, engaging the public square, and why believers were never meant to retreat. If you want to stand firm in your faith while helping shape the next generation, this episode is for you.

Have we become so focused on what's wrong with America that we've forgotten what's right? As visitors from around the world celebrate the freedoms, opportunities, and abundance they find here, Pastor Allen Jackson encourages Christians to see our nation through a different lens. As America approaches its 250th anniversary, he reflects on the blessings we often overlook, the importance of cultivating gratitude, and several recent policy victories that align with a biblical worldview—from securing the border and protecting children to defending religious freedom and the sanctity of life. This episode is a call to thank God for His faithfulness, appreciate the courage of leaders willing to stand for biblical values, and use our own voices to help preserve the freedoms and principles that have made America such a remarkable nation.
