I love this so much! It’s so comforting to find a brave and selfless Pastor who actually cares about others salvation and is willing to do such difficult work in order that we may hear the truth that God intended us to hear. Every church should have a Pastor Rosebrough. God Bless you for all that you do.

At 59 years young I finally decided to do the work and “seek”. After a day or so, F4F videos started popping up in my YouTube feed. I thought “cool pirate flag!” and watched one of them. Then another and another and so on. Pastor Rosebrough eventually mentioned his podcast and I was hooked. Having struggled to find a “good” church, but not really knowing what to look for, I found the answers through Chris. His no-nonsense explanations and the education he provides by going through Scripture verse by verse are easy to understand, even for a baby Christian like me. He is an expert at separating fact from fiction and answering questions everyone should have the answers to. I thank God almost daily for leading me to Chris, who has led me to other invaluable resources. Please give this podcast and F4F videos a chance - your ears wont get scratched but your soul may be saved as he leads you directly to Jesus.

I love to listen and learn about the dangers of false doctrines. Only loving criticism I have is that most of these church speakers that are dissected are (willing or unwillingly) ignorant. Getting straight to the right theology or the solution of the matters would save about 30 minutes of each episode instead of sarcastic sighs, eye rolls, giggles, laughs and acting surprised that, lo and behold, there’s another preacher out there with faulty doctrine that we are talking about…the same as we have the last 100 episodes.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

One of the bright sides of the shut downs was me coming across fighting for the faith on YouTube and then finding this podcast. I’ve learned so much already, and I will continue to learn a whole lot more! And I am currently attending a Lutheran Church after spending the first nearly 20 years of my Christian faith in a nondenominational church. honestly still taking a while to get used to you, but I am very grateful for this channel.

Could you do a review of this dead man's theology as he has divided and destroyed so many families. While he died the deception moves on through other wolves.

This pod dissects and defends religious fundy ideology and justifies reprehensible behavior by religious fanatics. If you like listening to mouth breathers that believe in a book written by Bronze Age sheep herders that didn’t know where the sun went when it got dark, this is your jam…

I’m a time when so many “speakers” are scratching itching ears it is refreshing to have someone exposing them. People are hurting and seeking truth and are getting lies and motivational speeches that will not affect their eternity. Keep exposing the lies and point to truth.

Sure, Pirate Rosebrough might be a little brash. Don’t be timid. Brace yourselves and Hear the truth of Scripture rightly taught by that old crusty pirate.

To find the other episodes just look above reviews, at the bottom of the last Feb podcast and in purple writing it says “see all 1998 episodes” and press on that for nearly 2000 of them! Hope that helps, Lauren.

where are episodes after February 2021?

Praise God for this podcast and for Pastor Rosebrough’s ministry.

Started watching your YouTube channel by chance. Thank you thank you. I appreciate your assessments and the way you show us the proof by use of Gods word. Righteous judgement all the way. I know I have to focus and learn for myself. What a treasure you are. Bless you

Arrogant, ungracious, and allows no room to disagree in a respectful manner towards those he differs with. Don’t get me wrong, Chris is no idiot by any means and I think we gets some things right, just wish he was more gracious and showed more conviction towards those whom he says are heretics or perishing

Self important mocker of Christians

Cessationist-based trash. Dude speaks against anyone that doesn’t line up with cessationist doctrine and camp. Not sure how these kind of people can “trust” the Bible yet deny it’s power let alone the spiritual side of the Bible and God. This dude basically doesn’t trust the fact that God still uses the spiritual gifts until the return of Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:7). I get it, the Word of Faith movement is unbiblical and demonic, but that doesn’t mean one should disbelieve in the spiritual gifts. Study the Bible. Period.

wonderful... I was never told that I should read the Bible I was like a ship tossed to and fro but thank you for providing solid biblical ground for me to hold on to stand on the word of God i thank you father God for directing me. getting me on the right track. I thought I lost my salvation. I will hold onto The word of God that is more precious than Gold and the wisdom the Bible gives to discern. keep up the fight for Faith. Amen

Chris does a great job, in Bibically sound and founded in his critique of what others say about the Bible.

I appreciate and love every podcast! While I do not agree with every single thing Chris believes, I very much love the truth he brings and how he exposes the false teachings. He does it in such a way that you are at times left laughing at the absurdity of these false teachers/messages. I am grateful to have found these podcasts! They have really helped open my eyes to see error and heresy that I had missed before.

Plenty of TRUTh- found this guy through JD Hall. I found I could FF through the first 5-10 minutes since I find his “set up” to be a bit rambling/clumsy and verbose. Tell us what you’re going to expose and get to it. You don’t have to reframe it seven ways.

This was such a great program. Love this!

Thank you, Pastor Rosebrough, for all you do. The work you do has changed my life and helped me see the truth so that my walk with Christ is grounded in and built on the Rock of the word instead of false teachers and prophets who lead unsuspecting Christians into smooth sounding deception. Thank you once again, God bless you.

Pastor Rosebrough does a masterful job of sword fighting against the hordes of false teachers using the razor sharp sword of the truth of Scripture. Well worth listening to.

I escaped willow creek but not without false doctrine ingrained. My local pastors are a huge help to guide me back on the narrow path, but this podcast and Chris’s work is a great supplement to learning what Gods truth really is. Keep praying for him and his family and we will see you brothers and sisters in eternity!!!

Not sure what lead me to even initially find Pirate Christian on YouTube but glad I did. And glad to find podcast to listen. Helps me remember to read Bible for myself. Also is shocking and unnerving to see how many things we believe or follow are not in the Bible even of we go to churches that say that are Bible based. They are not. This podcast helps us remember to test all things by the word.

So grateful for Chris' pastoral guidance! It seems there's so many pastors that DONT do this, break down what they are saying, directly along with the Bible and what it says 💗

I’ve been listening to F4F since it began so many years ago. Chris is wonderful, and has become my primary teacher. I also follow his sermons. I’ve learned more biblically from Chris is a few years than I ever have from any of the pastors I’ve listened to in the last 20 years. Thank you so much Chris! You’ll never know me or the impact you’ve had on me, but I’ll always be so grateful God used you on this platform so that I can know Him. Thank you, thank you, a deepest heartfelt thank you.

Long awaited and much appreciated.. God Bless ! Listening with an open bible... RRRRRRRRGH...

I am so glad Chris is uploading podcasts again! I now can enjoy Chris at his BEST as this updated format is excellent.

I have been following this podcast for about 7 years, since I started researching about the false teachings of Joyce Meyers. Chris has been the first person to break down and teach discernment to me through this podcast ( and also his YouTube channel ), and I recommend this to everyone. I am so grateful for this ministry! Not only does he clearly understand and teach the true gospel, but he defends it against false teachers. Thank you for being a light who calls people by name to warn the sheep. The impact this ministry has had on my spiritual growth and knowledge in truth is astronomical. Thank you.

I’m so happy the podcast is back!! Love to listen while driving! Also at bedtime!

The truth is good but only after one acquires a Tate’s for it. If mocking grates you wrong you will have a hard time because declaring foolishness as what it is and laughing at it’s absurdity is quite common in this podcast.

Thank you for bringing me out of the bondage of false Christianity. I have been set free by the Word of God because you faithfully preach the Word of God. I really appreciate your podcast and all the work that you do for the faith!

Thank you Chris for teaching me the distinction between law and gospel. Ive learned more about it in the last year that I discovered your podcast than in the 25 previous years I’ve been a Christian. Your critiques of the most popular preachers, teachers, conference speakers, so-called apostles and apostlettes have been instrumental for me in identifying some of the most urgent issues in the church today. Thank you for your wit and verse by verse exposition of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the Bible. I listen to multiple episodes every day when I’m welding at work. Now my struggle is how to talk to my wife about these issues because some of her most favorite authors and speakers are ones that you have repeatedly critiqued. Thanks again for all you have done. I hope that you can begin releasing your shows on this feed again someday. Preferably sooner than later

Please don’t give up the podcast. You are doing amazing work and really helping people break free by sharing the truth in the Bible.

Chris’ handle of scripture is phenomenal! I’ve learned so much from this podcast. It has taught me how to properly study scripture and discern false teaching and doctrine peddled by so many modern evangelicals. Keep up the great work, Chris!

This is a great podcast but most of the new content never makes it from his YouTube channel over to this platform. Chris does new programs almost weekly and sometimes more often than that, but it seems nothing gets transferred over. Could be so much better. I can’t sit and watch the two hour YouTube video, but I must surely can listen to a podcast for my drive to work. Five stars for content; one star for new material. Final score-3*

For two years it seems the production of the podcast has most stopped. A big part of podcast is the consistent production of episodes. I guess people could benefit from old episodes but they could feel dated. There a lot of other good solid podcasts to listen to move onto them. Thank you Chris for the ten years you did focus on the ministry

The Bible takes on a whole new read when you read it from the perspective of what’s already been done for you rather than what can it do for you. Thank you Chris for your discernment. God bless.

Who says you can't have a bit of fun studying Theology?

Chris has a good handle of the Scripture.

My wife and I discovered Pastor Rosebrough five years ago from his appearances on “Issues, Etc.” Because of him, Reverends Wilken and Wolfmueller, we left evangelicalism and are now Confessional Lutherans. CR takes on the false teachers and compares their heresy to the truth of the Bible. We highly recommend a regular diet of F4TF for biblical truth that will educate, entertain and, yes, anger you.

I love this discernment ministry. It helps to look at these things in a humorous tone at times. While I appreciate some of the humorous approach, I appreciate everything being constantly help up and compared with the scriptures.

Fighting for the Faith is a treasure and much needed in the midst of a church age filled with false doctrines, teachings and apostasy. Some won’t like the humor and sarcasm but as the old saying goes, “If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry”.

One of the best podcasts out there that does comparative work, if not the best. Has gone more down the YouTube route lately, but still meaty nonetheless. May the LORD bless and keep those in this work.

Reading the one star reviews for this podcast is quite the humorous experience. Itching ears are so delicate! I’m so thankful for this ministry. It’s really taken my discernment skills & hunger for sound biblical exegesis to a whole new level...& I often laugh until it hurts in the process. Best podcast ever!

This podcast has infused hope, understanding and LAUGHTER back into our faith after we realized we’ve been following the false gospel movement of the NAR for over 20 years. Thanks for speaking the TRUTH. You are making a difference!!!

The Fighting For the Faith podcast has been instrumental in my learning the Bible more deeply. The Fighting for the Faith podcast was also somewhat instrumental in my journey into Lutheranism. I’m currently a member of an LCMS congregation. God bless you.

I didn’t realize how much I was affected by the word of faith movement and how I was still believing lies about God and His Word until I started listening to Pastor Chris. I thank God that through these teachings I can now appreciate the Bible for what it is actually saying! The biggest thing I had to realize was that the Bible wasn’t about me and that I’m not supposed to read myself into the text of scripture. The scripture is so much more then me and my problems and that when it is taught rightly it doesn’t burden me with works. It feels me with joy and peace and brings me comfort. Truly many huge burdens have come off of me since I have started listening. I still have so much more to unlearn but I’m so grateful that I now have a hunger for the Word of God that definitely wasn’t there before because of the lies I had been believing.

I found your podcast, while searching for info on the NAR movement. I left it last year, but didn’t realize that’s what it was. It was so refreshing to hear you go into the word and show how many scriptures are taken out of context or twisted. I honestly don’t know how you listen to these crazy messages, but thank you for doing so and sharing the real truth on it.
