Think big business is the real Goliath? Think again. In this episode, R.J. Rushdoony breaks down the myth of corporate bigness and points the finger where it truly belongs: Washington, D.C. With facts in hand, he reveals that even giants like GM are dwarfed by the federal bureaucracy. Inflation? Regulation? Centralized power? It’s not big business that’s gutting the economy—it’s big government. Tune in for a reality check on where the real threat lies.

In Fairfax County, Virginia, you need a permit to cut down a tree—but not to abort an unborn child. This contradiction reveals a deeper issue: a culture that claims to love nature while legalizing the destruction of human life. Such thinking often masks a hatred of humanity and rebellion against God. Scripture warns that hypocrites use words to destroy, and today’s so-called love for trees and animals can be a cover for deeper hostility—toward people, godly order, and ultimately, God Himself. But it is God's will—not man’s—that will stand, and His justice will not be mocked.

Rushdoony exposes the pagan roots and theological flaws of trial by ordeal, contrasting its reliance on nature as judge with the biblical insistence that only God is sovereign over justice. Where ancient and medieval ordeals trusted boiling water or poison to reveal guilt, the biblical law of jealousy (Numbers 5) rested not on superstition, but on divine judgment in the absence of evidence. This chapter cuts to the heart of the matter: law rooted in nature exalts fallen creation, while biblical law submits all—man, nature, and judgment—to God’s sovereign authority.

In a culture that prides itself on independence and strength, being compared to sheep doesn’t sound like a compliment—and it isn’t. In this episode, we take a closer look at what Scripture really means when it calls us sheep: not as a sentimental image, but as a sobering truth about our tendency to wander, follow blindly, and remain helpless without a shepherd. Join us as we explore how our weakness highlights Christ’s care—and why it’s good news that “the Lord is my shepherd.”

In this episode of God’s World, God’s Way, Nathan Conkey takes listeners deep into Genesis 27—the dark, complex story of Isaac’s attempted blessing of Esau. Though most Bibles label the chapter “Jacob’s Deception,” the episode exposes a far more troubling reality: Isaac, the patriarch of promise, was himself plotting rebellion against God. Driven by appetite and favoritism, Isaac schemed in secret to bless the son God had rejected, revealing a man whose body and soul had grown blind—physically, morally, and spiritually. His obsession with “delicious food” becomes a symbol of his deeper corruption: a man whose god had become his belly, and whose actions threatened to derail the covenant line of Christ itself.

Against this backdrop, the episode re-examines Jacob and Rebekah’s so-called “deception.” Far from a selfish act of trickery, their intervention emerges as a desperate, faith-driven attempt to prevent Isaac’s blasphemous defiance of God’s revealed will. Drawing on parallels with Sarah, the Hebrew midwives, Rahab, and Zipporah, Nathan argues that faith sometimes demands decisive—and even deceptive—action to preserve God’s covenant purposes. The story is not a moral tale of good versus bad, but a sobering revelation of divine sovereignty working through human weakness, where Rebekah’s courage and Jacob’s obedience avert disaster and ensure that God’s promise, “the elder shall serve the younger,” stands unbroken.

What is the opposite of sin? It's not just moral restraint or inner piety—it’s obedience to God’s law in faith. In this episode, we unpack Chalcedon Position Paper No. 33 and rediscover a profound biblical truth: the antonym of sin is not passivity, but action—faithful, covenant-keeping action. We’ll explore how doing God's commandments—our mitzvah—is at the heart of Christian vocation, a life of purpose rooted in the Word. From the confusion of ambition and calling to the collapse of cultural obedience, we expose how forgetting this truth has left both church and society aimless—and how recovering it is essential to real reformation.

From Mongol favor toward Christian bureaucrats to Puritan family diaries and forced abortions in Communist China, R.J. Rushdoony weaves a tapestry of history, theology, and social critique. This episode explores the unintended consequences of Christian complicity with power, the moral collapse behind statist population control, and the legacy of faithful living amid injustice. With insights from books on medieval monasteries, revolutionary America, biblical counseling, and opium-fueled imperialism, Rushdoony offers a sobering yet hope-filled reminder: godliness, not politics, is the path to true gain.

Some say this world is too dark to raise children in—but God didn’t think so. He sent His Son into a world far worse. Christ came as a child to begin a new humanity, a new creation. Children, Scripture says, are like arrows—meant to shape the world for God’s Kingdom. We’re not raising them for a hopeless world, but for Christ’s eternal reign. Because the Christ child has come, we raise our children with joy, purpose, and hope—in God’s world, under Christ our King.

Is evil something that lives in certain people—or a condition common to all? In Part 3 of The Doctrine of Selective Depravity, R.J. Rushdoony exposes how the idea that only certain classes or races are depraved leads not only to injustice, but ultimately to violence, tyranny, and salvation by murder. From Marxism to modern politics, this belief shapes our laws, corrupts our institutions, and fuels endless cycles of blame and bloodshed. Join us as we examine the false gospel of group guilt and recover the only true answer: redemption in Christ, justice under God’s law, and the humbling truth that all have sinned.
