In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen continue their discussion on thinking Christianly about history. They explore how Christians should approach historical facts, disputed narratives, propaganda, and conspiratorial thinking without abandoning confidence in truth or God’s providence.

Rather than interpreting history through secular neutrality, secret knowledge, or hidden powers, Christians are called to discern historical claims through Scripture, take facts seriously, reject scapegoating, and remember that Christ—not elites, cabals, or conspiracies—is sovereign over all things.

In this episode of The Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Michael Thiessen respond to the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and examine how Christians should think about political violence, revolutionary rhetoric, and justice.

They discuss the difference between reformation and revolution, personal vengeance and lawful authority, and why God’s law must shape how Christians engage the culture war in a polarized age.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen discuss why history is never neutral and why the battle over its meaning matters so deeply. They show how only the Christian worldview can make sense of the past, present, and future, and why abandoning God’s providence leads either to despair or to control. This episode is a timely call for Christians to recover a biblical understanding of history under the lordship of Christ.

What does the Bible actually say about race, racism, and the unity of mankind? In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Joe Boot, and Michael Thiessen explore the biblical doctrine of one humanity in Adam, why the gospel depends on that truth, and how evolutionary thought helped fuel modern racism. They also examine today’s false responses—from critical race theory to ethnic nationalism—and show why neither offers a truly Christian answer. This conversation calls believers back to a biblical vision of man, nationhood, culture, and covenant in Christ.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Dr. Joe Boot, and Dr. Michael Thiessen discuss how to think Christianly about science and evolutionism. They challenge the modern myth that Christianity and science are enemies, arguing instead that modern science was born out of a biblical worldview. They also expose evolutionism as more than a neutral scientific theory, showing that it functions as a rival religious worldview with deep cultural consequences. Finally, they explore how Darwinian thinking reduces human dignity, morality, and meaning, and why only the Christian worldview provides the necessary foundation for true science and human flourishing.

Bill C-9 is no longer just a troubling proposal. It is moving toward becoming law in Canada, and with it comes serious questions about hate crime legislation, religious liberty, public witness, and the role of the state. In this episode, Michael Thiessen and Nate Wright revisit Bill C-9 to explain what it does, why it matters, and why Christians cannot afford to treat it as just another political issue. They discuss the difference between sin and crime, the danger of the state trying to judge motives and regulate conscience, and how this bill could affect preaching, church discipline, Christian education, and public evangelism. Most importantly, they show why this is not a distraction from the gospel, but a direct implication of Christ’s lordship over every sphere of life.

What happens when progressive politics puts on Christian language and starts quoting Scripture? In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Joe Boot, Michael Thiessen, and Nate Wright examine the rise of a new public theology on the left, using Texas politician James Talarico as a case study. They discuss how bad exegesis, Gnostic ideas, and counterfeit Christianity are being used to bless abortion, feminism, and the modern sexual revolution with a veneer of biblical legitimacy.

The conversation explores why this moment matters, why many Christians are unprepared for theological arguments from the left, and how pastors and churches must respond with clarity, courage, and biblical faithfulness. This is not merely a clash between Christianity and secularism, but between Christianity and a public, persuasive imitation of it.

What does it really mean to defend the Christian faith? Pastor Nate Wright, Dr. Michael Thiessen, and Dr. Joe Boot challenge the popular notion that apologetics is about winning arguments or piling up evidence for God's existence. Drawing from 1 Peter 3:15, they make the case that faithful apologetics begins with Christ set apart as Lord — and flows outward as bold proclamation, not intellectual competition.

The team explores how the collapse of a shared Christian worldview has transformed the apologetic landscape, why pragmatism has gutted the church's witness, and why true evangelism means confronting the idols of the age with humility, confidence, and total dependence on the Holy Spirit.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Nate Wright, Joe Boot, and Michael Thiessen continue their discussion on God’s law by exploring theonomy, its place in church history, and its fulfillment in Christ. They unpack the relationship between law and love, explain why biblical justice requires restitution and proportionality, and challenge modern misunderstandings that pit grace against God’s law.

The episode closes by showing that Jesus did not abolish the law, but fulfilled it perfectly, bore its penalty for His people, and calls His church to live in faithful obedience to all He has commanded.

This week, Pastor Nate Wright is joined by Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen to help Christians think Christianly about the escalating conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States.

Rather than reacting to headlines or repeating past debates about foreign wars, the conversation examines the issue through a Christian worldview—drawing on Scripture, sphere sovereignty, and the insights of Abraham Kuyper. What is the biblical basis for international law? Do nations have a right to defend themselves? And how should Christians think about war, treaties, and global conflict in a fallen world?

The goal of this episode is simple: to help believers move beyond political talking points and think Christianly about international conflict, justice, and the responsibilities of nations under God’s law.
