There's sadness in the McKinney household because Bridger doesn't want to apologize.  (Who does, really?)   Also, there was a clip from Comedian Nate Bargatze shown at church, and it reminded John that a Christian worldview permeates everything.

THEN: What does it look like to INCULCATE your children with a Christian worldview, at every stage of life?   Make your toddlers apologize when they're wrong.  Teach your middle schoolers to fight fairly.  And encourage your highschoolers to set themselves apart from the Drama. This is no time to be dumb! 

You can contact the Comedian's Family by emailing [email protected] 

Assumptions are the part of the plan most likely to be wrong. The plan itself is usually logical. If X is true, then Y follows. The owner has thought through the steps. What he hasn't thought through is whether X is actually true. He's built a sound structure on ground he hasn't tested.

Inspired by Malcolm Guite’s Galahad and the Grail, Glenn walks the other Pugs through the evolution of the story of Arthur from his historical roots as a warlord through his transformation into the ideal king surrounded by a band of noble knights, into the world of the medieval romances. This leads to the emergence of the story of the Grail and its ultimate connection to the Eucharist. In the process, the guys talk about history, invasions, the nature of time, and the importance or myth and story.

As Americans celebrate Memorial Day, I'm busy traveling the South Seas (Vanuatu), so today's show (#200!) is a mashup of two shorter bonus episodes I recorded exactly two years ago, when the podcast was just getting started.

The first discusses John G. Paton on his birthday (May 24, 1824), as well as a little bit about his contemporary Hudson Taylor.

In the second, I spill the beans about the day I was deported from NW China in 2018. 

Note, these have been lightly edited from the old originals, but some 2024 or otherwise time-bound references are sure to remain. My apologies in advance.

Was King Saul a type of Christ?

Most Christians think of Saul as Israel's failed first king—a man marked by disobedience, pride, and eventual rejection. But before Saul's downfall, Scripture presents him as a deliverer of God's people, raising an important question: does Saul foreshadow the coming Messiah?

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores 1 Samuel 10–11, uncovering surprising connections between King Saul, Genesis 3:15, the theme of the promised Deliverer, and the broader biblical pattern that ultimately points to Jesus Christ. From Saul's anointing and victory over Israel's enemies to the serpent imagery surrounding Nahash the Ammonite, this study reveals how even flawed figures in the Old Testament can serve as shadows of the greater King to come.

Discover how Saul's story fits into the Bible's unified message and why Jesus is the true and perfect Deliverer who succeeds where every earthly king failed.

 In this episode:
• Was King Saul a type of Christ?
• Saul's role as Israel's deliverer
• The significance of Nahash and serpent imagery 
• Genesis 3:15 and the promised Seed
• Biblical typology explained
• How the Old Testament points to Jesus
• Why Christ is the greater King

Who is really “left behind” in Matthew 24? Did Jesus teach that believers disappear while unbelievers remain—or have many Christians misunderstood the passage entirely?

In this episode of Down to Earth Theology, Matt Plett continues through the Olivet Discourse by examining Matthew 24:37–44 and Jesus’ comparison to the days of Noah. Looking carefully at the context, Matt challenges popular end-times assumptions and asks a crucial question: in Noah’s flood, who was taken away—and who remained?

This study explores:

Matthew 24 and the “one taken, one left” passages

The days of Noah and biblical judgment patterns

The meaning of “left behind” in context

Rapture theology and common assumptions

The destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70

How biblical typology shapes eschatology

Far from speculation, this passage is a warning from Christ Himself: stay awake, remain faithful, and understand the times rightly.

If you enjoy biblical theology, eschatology, and careful Bible study, subscribe to Eschatology Matters for more teaching series on Matthew 24, Revelation, Daniel, and the Olivet Discourse.

Today's episode is intended to help you evaluate whether a rather standard kind of constitutional argument made by Christian legal advocates accords with Scripture's definition of wisdom. David explains how he came to understand "spiritual wisdom" and offers that in relation to wisdom provided by National Right to Life's General Counsel about challenging Roe v. Wade.

Juan thought it would be fun to write a song together. So we did. Sort of.

The creative process is often a mixed bag of hilarity and dead ends. We start out thinking it's going to be 'about this' but by the end of the session, it's looking like it's going to be about 'something else.' We're not entirely sure.

But we're committed to the project! We're going to produce a song and you're invited to come along for the whole ugly, unfunny, journey!

Is Christian nationalism inherently violent?

Does Christendom inevitably lead to coercion, persecution, and the abuse of power? Or have modern secular states simply hidden their own forms of coercion behind the language of neutrality and liberty?

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard and James Baird respond to Gordon-Conwell Seminary president Dr. Scott Sunquist’s article “Nation or Kingdom” and examine some of the biggest assumptions surrounding Christian nationalism, pluralism, church and state, religious liberty, and political theology.

Can governments ever be morally neutral?

Is every legal system rooted in a religious vision of reality?

What are the biblical limits of civil authority?

And what does Christ’s kingship over the nations actually require?

This conversation explores:

Christian nationalism and coercion

The history of Christendom

Religious liberty and pluralism

Protestant political theology

Church and state relations

The role of the civil magistrate

Whether secularism is truly neutral

Christ’s authority over nations

If you’re tired of shallow debates and talking points surrounding Christian nationalism, this episode offers a deeper historical and theological framework for understanding the issue.
