We live in an age of deep division—political, moral, and spiritual. While society points fingers across the aisle, the real architects of division are not men but principalities and powers. In this episode, Scott Mitchell and guest co-host Jeff Dodson expose how both the political left and right have been indoctrinated through media manipulation and emotional conditioning. The true battle is not between parties or policies but between truth and deception—between Christ and the rulers of darkness.

Key Scriptures

• 2 Corinthians 4:3–4 – The god of this world blinds the minds of unbelievers.
• Romans 1:28–32 – The reprobate mind that rejects God’s truth.
• Ephesians 6:10–13 – The real battle: spiritual wickedness in high places.
• Romans 12:2 – Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
• Ephesians 4:20–23 – Renewal through Christ leads to discernment and truth.
• Genesis 6:5–7, Matthew 24:37–39 – As in the days of Noah, so shall it be again.

Topics Covered

• The Meaning of Indoctrination – How conditioning replaces critical thought and truth.
• The Reprobate Mind – From Romans 1, describing those who fail the test of righteousness (adokimos—unfit, rejected).
• Media as the Modern Pulpit – How social platforms and entertainment serve as tools of control.
• The Left vs Right Deception – Both political sides serve the same unseen agenda of division.
• Spiritual Warfare in the Mind – Why indoctrination is primarily mental and spiritual, not political.
• Renewing the Mind – God’s remedy for indoctrination through His Word and the Holy Spirit.
• No Political Solution – Lasting righteousness will not come from any human government but from Christ alone.

Key Takeaways

• Indoctrination is mind control disguised as truth.
• Both left and right ideologies are being manipulated by the same spiritual forces.
• Social media and entertainment perpetuate division through emotional conditioning.
• A reprobate mind rejects God’s truth, leading to moral confusion and blindness.
• The renewal of the mind through Scripture is the only defense against deception.
• The spiritual battle must be fought with discernment, prayer, and the armor of God.
