Contra Mundum

The most controversial chapter of Stephen Wolfe's book, The Case For Christian Nationalism, is "The Christian Prince."

We discuss what this idea even means, what a nation is, how a nation's collective will can be personalized and enacted, and what this means for historical Christian political theology and our current political disorder.

UPDATE (an earlier version was published that cut off the last ten minutes)

Joe Biden gave his (hopefully) final State of the Union Address.

It was objectively the worst speech an American president has ever given.

What does this speech signal about the future of our country?

Like many in the online right, we were once doctrinaire libertarians. The 2008 and 2012 Ron Paul campaigns drew us into something interesting and exciting, it challenged our way of looking at the world. We encountered Mises and Rothbard and what they had to say was a breath of fresh air.

But why are we no longer of that world? What changed? Why are we the way that we are now?

The phrase "Christ is King" is found (in various forms) in the New Testament, throughout Christian history and tradition, and has lately found a place in online discourse.

But what does this phrase truly mean? How should Christians understand it? What does it have to do with Christian engagement in the political?

We are joined by Ron Dodson to see just how far down this rabbit hole goes.

Pastor Dusty Deevers was recently sworn in to the Oklahoma State Senate and immediately brought forth several bills combating rampant degeneracy in Trashworld, including abolishing prenatal infanticide.

Critics, even among many ostensibly conservative Christians, have vocally opposed his efforts, crying "you cannot legislate morality!"

But what is law but the use of force to impose one morality over another? What is it about the postwar consensus that demands a supposedly neutral public sphere?

To discuss these issues and more, we are joined by Senator Deevers.

In the Super Bowl Sunday, an evangelical group of mostly unknown funding released multiple ads, one featuring images of Christians washing the feet of women seeking abortions, LGBT people, illegal immigrants, Muslims, etc.

What does this ad tell us about the priorities of those at the very top of the evangelical hierarchy? What do they think about regular evangelical people? Who are they trying to appeal to with this ad? What is it they are trying to accomplish?

We also discussed Tucker's remarks after his Putin interview (and failed at playing the audio Sorry!)

After Texas took bold steps to secure the border and insert immigration to the top of the national conversation, the GOP Senate, spearheaded by Senator James Lankford (Oklahoma), negotiated a compromise deal that would allow up to 5000 border encounters a day before the border could be shut down. All of this was in exchange for more tens billions to both Ukraine and Israel.

When 60%+ of the country is in favor of mass deportation, much less an immediately closed border, such a compromise is an abject betrayal.

To discuss what this means and the geopolitics driving it all, we are joined by writer and academic, Josiah Lippincott.

NB: Josiah let one "non-family show" word slip!

This past year the Southern Baptist Convention disfellowshipped some churches with female pastors, a practice that is in direct conflict with both scripture and the SBC bylaws.

But this feminist practice is far from eradicated from the SBC, nor are the pro-LGBT, and pro-race communist elements that nearly always overlap.

So who will fight the good fight in the SBC? Can it be reformed? William Wolfe joins us to discuss.

After the Supreme Court ruled against Texas, Governor Abbott issued a statement declaring an invasion and invoking Texas's constitutional right to repel a foreign invasion. Within 24 hours, several GOP governors issued their public support and activated units to assist Texas.

The Biden Administration gave an ultimatum giving Texas 24 hours to comply.

What happens from here? We discuss.

Recently Alistair Begg advised a woman to attend her grandchild's wedding to an impossible woman, on the condition the grandchild knows what she thinks about it, and to buy them a gift.

Why would someone who has taught the Bible for decades offer counsel such as this? What on earth is going on with him? How could someone get to the point where they think such advice is wise and godly?

If Begg has been one of the best and most rock-solid ones we've had, what does this say about conservative evangelical pulpits in general?
