Luke made corn, neighbor! You want some?

John's ventriloquist friend has a creepy puppet. And the Three Pigs Origin Story is worth telling again!

THEN: One of the grandkids is old enough for Driver's Ed! 

LATER: John wants to talk about something he read on his newsfeed.   But everything on his newsfeed is about Ex-vangelicals or AI.   So we tease him for that.

The Pugsters welcome Fr. Dwight Longenecker to the show to discuss his new book, Bloodshed and Blessing. The book discusses blood sacrifice as a component of all traditional religions until those sacrifices find their fulfillment and ending in Christ. The conversation ranges over the “why” of sacrifice, its significance in the Eucharist today, and even the Sword of St. Michael, a set of seven churches dedicated to St. Michael in a straight line from the Holy Land to Ireland. It’s an interesting and provocative conversation about topics not often discussed in the Reformed and Evangelical worlds.

Today David takes a sobering look at what is revealed when the wisdom Christ is made unto us by God is applied to the way many Christians today think of politics. He explains why a Christian worldview looks weak in this sphere and the sin Christians are tempted to as a result. Might it reveal the sin of outright unbelief in Christ, as was once true of him?

We cover a lot of important ground in this episode, assuming your definition of “important” includes pets behaving like tiny freeloading roommates, rock musicians attempting to communicate with the International Space Station, and comedians discovering that technically any location becomes a comedy club if somebody puts a microphone in it.

We talk about the strange bargain of pet ownership, the glorious excess of rock concerts, and what happens when comedy escapes the controlled environment of an actual comedy club. Along the way, we get into audience interaction, stories from onstage and backstage, and the mysterious way music can unite a room full of strangers without requiring anyone to understand what the drummer is doing.

Our conclusion: music really is its own language, performers should enjoy themselves when they play, and most shows are just “a show.” Unless something goes terribly wrong. Then you have a story.

What does Scripture actually mean when it commands us to “disciple the nations”? Is the Great Commission simply about converting individuals—or can nations themselves truly become Christian?

 In this episode of The Magistrate, James Baird is joined by George Sayour, filling in for Josh Howard, to examine what the Bible teaches about nations, national identity, and the reign of Christ.

James and George explore the biblical meaning of ethnos, the relationship between individuals and nations, and whether Scripture gives us categories for speaking about a genuinely Christian nation. Along the way, they work through Genesis 10, Matthew 28, Revelation 21, and the broader biblical story of Christ’s authority over the nations.

What would it actually mean to disciple a nation? And should Christians expect the gospel to transform not only individuals and families, but entire peoples, cultures, and societies?

The Magistrate explores Christian political theology, civil government, history, and the proper relationship between Christ, His Church, and the nations.

In the final episode of this series, we explore why Christians can face the future with confidence rooted in Christ’s victory. Cultural reformation begins with worship, repentance, discipleship, and obedience—and grows through ordinary faithfulness in families, churches, schools, workplaces, and communities. The calling is not to change everything tomorrow, but to reject withdrawal and despair, bring every area of life under Christ’s reign, and build faithfully for generations to come.
