Further. Every. Day.

When one is dissatisfied with one's appearance of physical form, it is important to remember from where we derive our value. As Image Bearers of the Living God, it is important to remember to look to Him for our solutions and not the Culture's solutions. Join us as we discuss your immense worth from the context of the One from whom you derive your value. Further. Every. Day.

This podcast is primarily focused on apologetics, but the situation in Ukraine brings up some interesting questions. With Russian POWs who have expressed regret at being in the 2022 Russian Offensive on the Ukraine, the question arises: When do biblical soldiers put down their weapons in defiance to tyranny?

If Christians have the opportunity and right to have a Godly opinion heard, what does the Bible say about this? And what kind of precedent to we see developing in regards to bank accounts being frozen for these protesters? Are the powers that be setting up for Revelation times? Join us as we discuss the question, should the Christian ever peacefully protest?

In the last episode, we talked about the Metaverse and the other world that it offers. Escape. You can escape your daily life and enjoy a different world, one that YOU shape and change. You will be as God, able to recreate yourself in your own image…. Perhaps this is a bit overwrought, but there are people who are, as this is being written, living out fantasies of being a half-human/half-animal critter in a virtual world, all the while sitting in their very real home with very real responsibilities the next day. After fulfilling their obligations, whether they be school or work, they come home and escape reality for hours in the Metaverse. This is the ultimate in escapism, at least as far as man has been able to do so far, more is coming. Join us as we discuss the root of the issue as our culture strays Further. Every. Day.

What is the Metaverse? And what does it promise? From Wikipedia: “A metaverse is a network of 3D virtual worlds focused on social connection. In futurism and science fiction, the term is often described as a hypothetical iteration of the Internet as a single, universal virtual world that is facilitated by the use of virtual and augmented reality headsets.” Join us as we discuss the stewardship of your data and our culuture's decay as we stray Further. Every. Day.

#036 Is God Pro-Work? If so, from where does Anti-Work stem?
Anti-Work Redditor has disastrous interview. But this brings attention to the issue of Marxists wanting to dismantle society for the promise of less “work”. In an astoundingly bizarre Reuters Foundation doc, you can find a number of people stumping for anti-work, who at least have a better spoken argument. They even go so far as to invoke the Protestant Work Ethic as the flaw in our World today! https://youtu.be/4Ht9zWy_xVQ

Just because a specific spouse is abusive, a singular politician is corrupt, or a single bottle of milk in the fridge is spoiled, a reasonable person will not jump to the conclusion that marriage is bad, society must be torn down, and cows produce poisonous tainted milk. The institution of work is actually God ordained. We were made to work for God's Glory! This does not mean that corrupt or tyrannical bosses/working conditions don't exist. We will face that on this earth, and I would really prefer the government be in the position of investigating corruption than to be in a position with enough authority to become corrupt in this space (Case in point, it already has).

Why do we as Christians, so often, react to the darkness of our world in a defensive way? Should we not become more aggressive in our efforts of discipleship and evangelism on campus? It is easy to curse the darkness and do nothing else. To actually fulfill the Great Commission and make disciples of the nations, that is hard. Join us as we delve into the state of our culture's decay, as we stray Further. Every. Day.

The 2020 election fraud investigation movement has become enormous, a lot of people have come to believe that the election system is no longer intact. Political Persecution of folks like Meadows and others is actively occurring, and more local governments are reacting to their own fraud corruption. Milwaukee is now discovering the mechanism that tipped the folks with pallets full of ballets, so to speak, to intervene by injecting more votes into the system. New York just passed more laws that allow illegal aliens to vote. And just for talking about it, people are now being threatened with prosecution. Is this an issue, or are the underlying issues ones that we as Christians should be involved with? Join us as we watch our country fall Further. Every. Day.

Is your cheese cruelty free? Forget that! What about the cell phone in your pocket, the battery in Prius, and the solar panels on your roof?

There is no problem with industry being industrious. As Christians, we love the opportunity to create! However, in our dominion mandate, we are also to conserve not only our land, and animals, but more importantly, the people of the land. When despotic regimes abuse their people and the produce we buy comes from that cruelty, we are at risk of judgment ourselves.

First off, let's define the term “Nihilism”.

From Webster's 1828:
1: the belief that traditional morals, ideas, beliefs, etc., have no worth or value
2: the belief that a society's political and social institutions are so bad that they should be destroyed

The rise of Nihilism in Europe, supplanted Christianity in the 1900s. This happened as the church lost her authority, and we are watching this pattern repeat in our country. How did the Church lose her authority you may say? Christ IS the authority. Well, have we acted like Christ or even spoken of the true Christ in our Western Churches? Maybe in some, but others not so much. How about the lack of accountability in leadership, or even in the pews? If our institutions do not hold to the values they propound, why are they worthwhile?

In a sense, nihilism in the people is the logical outgrowth of decaying institutions. Do we not see this in government and our education system, in addition to our churches? If we see nihilism in our culture, we have lost the Theological and Philosophical debate. When the church isn't the light, but a seeker friendly environment, excuse me, worldly environment, we find that the institution loses its value and maybe its value should be reconsidered. However, the answer is not to tear down something that once worked well, it needs reformation! The church needs reformation, and because she has not lived up to her potential, the church of the last century has watched all of the other God ordained institutions fall, from government to family.

As Followers of Christ, we must lead a life wholly devoted to Christ. This means our Theology, Philosophy, Culture, Politics, and Economics. If we start with our own families and churches, our communities, province, and country will follow.
