On this episode, Rev. Luke Walker joins us as we discuss the Moral Standard that Christians are to found their faith and family on, how Christians are to view taxes, the Grey Areas of life that are not clear-cut in scripture, and how and when we are to form or separate ourselves from others.

Human words are always tainted by sin and self-justification, but God’s Word is pure, authoritative, and creative. Scripture is not merely a record of revelation it is God’s revelation, judging us rather than being judged by us. True faith rests not in our speech or reasoning, but in the living Word of God, which alone teaches us what to believe and how to live.

Rushdoony argues that the future of society rises or falls with the family. Scripture places the family not the church or the state at the center of social power, entrusting it with education, charity, inheritance, property, and the training of children. When these responsibilities shift to the state, freedom declines and statism grows. By contrast, when families reclaim these callings through Christian schooling, mutual care, and faithful stewardship (especially through the tithe), society is renewed from the ground up.

He insists the family must be understood biblically, not through humanistic or evolutionary categories. Humanist thought assumes conflict, autonomy, and self-fulfillment, turning marriage into bondage and freedom into indulgence. Scripture teaches the opposite: true freedom is found in responsibility under God, where husband and wife are “heirs together of the grace of life.” The family is not biological accident or social convenience, but a God-ordained religious institution reflecting Christ and the Church.The Reformation proved that family reform reshapes civilization altering education, economics, charity, and even the church itself. Today’s revival of homeschooling and Christian family life signals real hope, even as secular families collapse under statism and moral decay. The call is not political but covenantal: re-Christianize the family, live out God’s law in daily life, and trust that faithful households small though they seem are God’s chosen instruments for commanding the future.

When a Miami judge sentenced a woman who slit her husband’s throat not to prison but to five years of teaching Sunday school, it revealed just how deeply our culture has learned to make sin respectable. With thieves in office and unbelievers in pulpits, why not a murderess in the classroom? In this episode, we examine the growing trend of legalizing and excusing sin in the name of “rehabilitation,” even as Scripture declares that the soul that sins shall die. Unpunished crime never reforms society; it corrodes it, turning communities into a quiet hell on earth. And when officials preach compassion while refusing responsibility, their mercy becomes both folly and hypocrisy.

Imagine designing a society tailor-made for thieves a world where stealing is respectable, legal, and even blessed by economists, educators, and clergymen. That’s exactly what happens when inflation, taxation, and state power become tools of institutionalized plunder. In this episode, we explore the satirical yet painfully accurate picture of a “thieves’ paradise,” where citizens are taught that being plucked is their moral duty and where property rights are sacrificed on the altar of welfare and managed money. Yet one obstacle stubbornly remains: the God who still says, “Thou shalt not steal,” and refuses to stay dead no matter how loudly the world declares Him obsolete.

In Critical Analysis, Rushdoony argues that modern education and theology are rooted in Satan’s original temptation to subject God’s Word to human judgment, replacing obedient faith with autonomous “critical analysis.” By making man the judge of Scripture and reality, this mindset produces intellectuals skilled at dissection but incapable of faithful action, relevance, or dominion. Rushdoony contrasts this barren approach with Christian analysis, which submits all thinking to God’s revealed Word and applies truth to the real world in obedience. He warns that critical analysis breeds impotence, alienation, and revolutionary destruction, while true Christian education forms men who think for action under Christ’s lordship. The struggle, he concludes, is ultimately educational and spiritual: only an unapologetically Christian foundation can produce men fit to build, govern, and exercise dominion rather than merely critique and retreat. #CriticalAnalysis #Rushdoony #ChristianEducation #BiblicalAuthority #ChristianWorldview #FaithAndCulture #Dominion #Theology

Taxation touches every aspect of our lives, from income and property to gasoline, entertainment, and even our estates, and yet the burden often feels arbitrary and excessive. While some taxes may be necessary, the scope of modern levies from birth to death reveals a system where the citizen is constantly treated as a revenue source rather than a free individual. The Sixteenth Amendment grants the federal government nearly unlimited authority to tax, and Congress exercises that authority with the consent of voters, making citizens partially responsible for their own over-taxation. As taxation grows alongside government spending, both personal and collective financial discipline become essential; without restraint, we jeopardize our freedom, prosperity, and even the stability of the nation. #Taxation #OverTaxed #IRS #GovernmentSpending #FiscalResponsibility #Liberty #IncomeTax #FinancialFreedom #CitizenResponsibility #EconomicAccountability

In the fury of a North Atlantic storm, a World War II sailor whispered a truth our age forgets: “God is no buttercup.” Too often we remake God into a soft, sentimental figure whose job is to reassure us, rather than the holy Lord whose thoughts and ways tower above ours. His faithfulness has already been proven in Christ; now He calls us to respond with obedience, reverence, and love. In this episode, we confront the temptation to domesticate God and rediscover what it means to be governed not by our ideas of Him but by His law-word, because “we love Him, because He first loved us.”

Biblical law places the family at the center of society because God entrusts it with decisive powers: children (the future), property, inheritance, education, and welfare. When these are taken over by the state, society weakens. True renewal comes as families reclaim these responsibilities through Christian education, care for their own, and faithful stewardship.

Rushdoony argues that this reclamation fails unless families are intellectually and spiritually grounded. Worldviews built on chance, evolution, or inevitable conflict make struggle metaphysical and unavoidable turning marriage, society, and economics into battlegrounds that require state control. By contrast, creationism affirms God’s sovereign order, so conflict is moral, not inevitable, and can be governed by God’s law.

The family is therefore not merely biological or social but a religious institution, created to serve God’s kingdom. Husband and wife are “heirs together of the grace of life,” called to harmony and obedience. The future of society depends not on politics but on re-Christianizing the family, restoring its God-given authority, and living out covenant faithfulness.

Woodrow Wilson once declared that automobiles would ruin America and make socialism inevitable yet history proved him spectacularly wrong. While he feared cars would breed envy and dependence among farmers, the Model T era revealed the opposite: ordinary men could prosper, adapt, and thrive without a “Big Brother” state to plan their lives. In this episode, we explore how Wilson’s elitist assumptions reflect a recurring intellectual error the belief that talk, planning, and central control can replace the biblical wisdom that “in all labour there is profit.” Far from being left behind, farmers became the greatest private owners of automotive equipment, disproving every one of Wilson’s predictions. And in a final twist of irony, the only U.S. president to own a Rolls Royce was Wilson himself.
