In this episode, Pastor Aldo Leon interacts with a conversation between Kevin DeYoung and David VanDrunen on the book Politics After Christendom, written by VanDrunen. Pastor Aldo challenges some of the claims and arguments made by the author, especially regarding the nature and role of the Noahic covenant in political theology. He also offers a different perspective that is more consistent with Reformed covenant theology and the Westminster standards. Some of the topics discussed in this episode are:

• The distinction between common grace and saving grace, and how they relate to the civil government and the church.
• The continuity and discontinuity between the Noahic covenant and the other biblical covenants, and how they reveal God's redemptive plan for his people and his creation.
• The implications of baptizing uneducated or untrained adults, and the problems of congregationalism and diversity within the Baptist tradition.
• The importance of reading the Noahic covenant in light of the whole Scripture, and not isolating it from the rest of covenantal history.
• The legitimacy and accountability of civil magistrates, and the need for Christian involvement and influence in the political sphere.
