Plus, Pastor Bramwell wants to know what GUESTS you’d like to have ON THE SHOW. Allie Beth Stuckey episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH_6vhlatEI&t=1398s

Procreation vs. The Manslayer | Cross Defense

Listen every Saturday at 9 AM (Pacific) at KFUO.org or on your favorite podcast app.

A listener identifies the common death thread among the so-called #socialjustice issues. John 8:44 reveals how the anthropoktonos (the manslayer) is behind it all. How far back does his lying go? To the garden! Remember Genesis 3:4? There is a particular word we should avoid when discussing the procreation of children, and if we do we will undermine the devil’s lies. Plus Tucker Carlson takes us to Ephesians 6:10-20 and Khloe Kardashian helps us expose the depth of the manslayer’s lie.

Women in Church Leadership | Reaction


The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh reacts to a CNN report that women are seeking power in the church. Is this a new thing? Pastor Bramwell’s first reaction video. Walsh references C.S. Lewis on spiritual warfare and discusses the feminization of the church. Masculinity is lacking, but does it have to be? No. Not at all! St. Mark is a current example that men want strong churches.

What Scripture says:
1 Timothy 2:8–14
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
1 Peter 3:1-7

God Gives the Growth

This is the video version of Pastor Bramwell’s August 2023 letter to St. Mark.

After 90+ years of life, and many pastors bringing him the Word, the Lord allowed us to see the fruit of the growth He gave a longtime attendee of St. Mark–only after he moved away. The Christian plants and waters. God gives the growth! To Him alone be the glory forever and ever. Amen!
