C.S. Lewis said that “reason is the natural organ of truth, but imagination is the natural organ of meaning.” In this episode, the Pugsters explore his ideas on this, noting that he is using the word “truth” in a very specific way and making a case that imagination is a vehicle to discover truth just like reason is. Not convinced? Tune in and hear the conversation.

After playing the Canon Press (Man Rampant) clip of Charlie Kirk discussing boldness and persecution, I discuss his death and legacy from a number of different angles (0:35). Then we dive into Charlie’s China podcast from last week (17:25). Later, after a brief interlude where Charlie berates the “king” (LeBron) for being a China “toy” (32:53), we finish with a sobering clip of him discussing his upcoming Utah trip (52:39).

I started not to post today, because I needed “time off” to process the assassination of Charlie Kirk before continuing on the topic proposed at the conclusion of last week’s episode: Is reason the way forward in law. But what came to mind this morning is too important in view of all the talk in today's media about needing a new way forward. I ask and answer why logical reasoning seems to bounce off so many whose thinking is not logical or consistent. My conclusion: What’s preached in our churches must change to what Paul preached.

Charlie Kirk was a faithful Christian father and husband who was gunned down while speaking on a college campus. Joined by Pastor Doug Wilson and Lennox Kalifungwa, Knox and Toby talk through the massive implications of this devastating attack.The discussion explores how this tragic event represents a watershed moment in American history, with Pastor Wilson drawing parallels to the turbulent 1960s while noting that today's division runs much deeper into American institutions and culture. The conversation delves into biblical responses to injustice, discussing the need for swift execution of justice, public accountability, and the restoration of proper fear of consequences for criminal behavior.

This attack wasn't just on one man, but on any Christian who stands for biblical truth, while calling for courage, faith, and faithful witness in the face of persecution.

In this episode of CrossPolitic, Toby and Gabe tackle Tucker Carlson's criticism of Bibi Netanyahu's response to Kirk's death, while emphasizing the importance of critical thinking over reactionary blame games. The discussion takes a deep dive into the dangers of falling into leftist thinking patterns - whether blaming "the Jews" for everything or failing to make careful distinctions between different groups within Israel and America.

This is a four minute response to Senator Kaine’s comments about human rights that I pray honors God, and that Charlie Kirk would applaud. I recorded it earlier this week, but it seems appropriate today because the issue of rights will now swirl around Kirk’s work and assassination. It is what I would say if I were a United States senator having a platform to respond to the issue of rights. Query: Why do we think we have any rights?

In this SPECIAL EPISODE of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joseph Boot is joined by Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Michael Thiessen to discuss the shocking assassination of influential Christian, political activist and organizer, founder of Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk. 

Our heartfelt prayers go out to all his loved ones and family. May the God of all comfort be your strength and stay.
