December 23, 2024 The Anti-Denomination
Need help? Contact ⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠.
Join us as we talk with Jeff Moss, a former CREC Minister, who has over a decade of experience "in the system."
We do a deep dive into all things CREC: structure, polity, ordination, founding, everything.
What may seem boring is actually a necessary look "under the hood." If you know the structure of the system, you understand how the system works the way it does. We compare it to other systems of church government, helping you make sense of your own church and the way they work.

November 25, 2024 The Reconstruction of Nationalism
Need help? Contact ⁠Outreach Incorporated⁠.

The writings and works of Reconstructioninsts and Theonomists of a bygone age would not recognize the modern iteration of Christian Nationalism.
No, today's Christian Nationalism is an entirely new phenomenon without historical precedent. What you see today, then, is a new project. And this new project isn't looking at elections over the next few years, but establishing dominion over the next few centuries.
To discuss this, we're joined by Dr. Michael McVicar (Associate Professor of Religion at Florida State University), Dr. Julie Ingersoll (Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at University of North Florida), Dr. Jerome Copulsky (Research Fellow at Georgetown University), and we interact with ideas from Katherine Stewart's work as well (writer for The New York Times, New Republic, and more).
