The Christian Whistleblower
Jeffrey Daugherty says he’s a former minister and bible college graduate who critiques mainstream religious beliefs and promotes alternative spiritual perspectives. He hosts a podcast where he discusses various topics related to religion, spirituality, and culture. And he publicly challenged Troy Skinner to a debate (before disappearing as quickly as he appeared). The Faith Debate talks about what happened.
This is a stand alone edition of the radio show. Unlike many other weekly episodes, there is no video for this one. Episodes of The Faith Debate are available as podcasts on multiple platforms, including SermonAudio, Odysee, and Christian Podcast Community.

Good and Bad Powers
The television show Lucifer represents a shift within society over the past generation. How is this different from Bewitched, Star Trek, Star Wars, and other popular entertainment? What does this shift mean for individuals, families, and the church at large when considering: “Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?”?

Faith Debate: July 27th, 2025
We Find Ourselves Weaving All Sorts of Questions into the Same Slate
A topic on the docket has to do with dual citizenship for Christians. Believers are called to be in the world, but not of it. Where’s the dividing line between being “in” and being “of”? (This five-episode arc of programs follows an overarching theme in an almost stream of consciousness manner. Each show stands alone, but hearing them all in sequence would also be good.)

A Chance to Revisit the Harry Potter Question
Is fantasy literature (and movies) dangerous to Christian faith? Practically speaking, is it okay to watch/read Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, or Lord of the Rings? What about the television show Lucifer? Is magic always bad? Is the magic seen in pop culture the same as the sorcery described in the Bible?

The Spiritual Realm Interacting with the Mundane Realm
Gnosticism has negatively influenced people in the Christian church into thinking that salvation comes by knowing the right answers to the right questions. Is it necessary for a person to “give a credible profession of faith” in order to be saved? How does God “moving in the spiritual” fit into this understanding? Can Baptists, Presbyterians, Charismatics, and others find agreement?

Podcast
Sundays 9AM to 9:30AM
The Frederick Faith Debate is designed to be an open an honest forum for local faith community leaders to share and discuss their views of the truth. Lady Bird Johnson once said, “the clash of ideas is the sound of freedom”. In that spirit, the show seriously wrestles with important ideas… the participant often disagreeing with one another. The hope is that through this wrestling a better understanding of the truth will develop with regards to the most important issues facing the world.
In other words, The Frederick Faith Debate is home to conflict resolution on the issues that matter most. We can’t truly resolve anything without understanding. And we can’t gain authentic understanding without honesty. So, that’s what you get here. A safe haven for honesty. We share what we hold to be true and why. Where there’s disagreement, we hash it out. Because we know why we’re here, there’s no worry over hurt feelings. At the end, if we fail to persuade each other within the confines of our program’s allotted time, we will at least know not only where we stand, but the reasons that we camp out where we do.
