August 14, 2023 EP361: How Christians Relate to Gov’t | Some Good News: Wokeness is in retreat.
On This Episode:
CHRISTIANS AND GOVERNMENTS
We're at an inflection point in the Western church in examining the Christian's relationships to the State and what we should WANT from governments. A really good host said some reasonable things with which I disagree. I want to respectfully work through those.
PORN INDUSTRY TAKES A HIT
Louisiana has successfully, effectively, almost ended online pornography in their state. Now other states are taking similar action. Let's celebrate that win. Pornography is a destructive scourge on our culture, and we need to see it eliminated.
WOKENESS IS IN RETREAT
From a lawsuit against target to Bud Light's bottom line to recent decisions by Victoria' Secret and eliminations of DEI and ESG considerations, Woke priorities are starting to see defeats. Again, let's celebrate and keeping going.
BRITISH HEALTH CARE SYSTEM WITH A RECORD LONG WAITING LIST
I'm not a fan of our health care system, but it's important to be wide-eyed about the problems other systems have. Health care isn't a right. It's a service and product provided by professionals. The sooner we grow up and embrace that, the better our systems can be
SLAVERY IN THE BIBLE
I'm going to tackle the slavery passages in Leviticus 25.

August 07, 2023 EP360: Maddening Netflix Documentary | New York Times Gets Economics All Wrong | A Lot More
On This Episode:
NYT AND RIGHT'S ECONOMICS
The New York Times did a GOOD job of itemizing the growing divide between Reagan rightists and Trump Republicans on economic policy. Along the way though, they just told some lies that I will correct.

TAKE CARE OF MAYA DOCUMENTARY
I have some short thoughts on a maddening documentary I saw and recommend.

THE GOSPEL COALITION AND CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM
The TGC made a category talking about "Christian Nationalism." I want to clarify.

INTERPRETING HARD BIBLE LAWS
Let's wrestle through what some people claim the Bible says about rape.

July 31, 2023 EP359: A Point Missing in the "Patriarchy" Discourse | Congresswoman Embarrasses Herself at a Prayer Breakfast | Much More!
On This Episode:
NANCY MACE
Nancy Mace bragged/joked about her own fornication at a prayer breakfast. We have a few lessons to learn from this.

IMPEACHMENT
I suspect impeachment will happen to this president within 1 year. I also think that we've discounted the severity of impeachment so much that almost all the presidents in my lifetime to come will also be impeached (but not removed by the Senate).

PATRIARCHY AND BARBIE
I haven't seen the movie, so I can't comment on it. I can comment on the discourse around the patriarchy, though. I have some nuance to add to it.

DOUG WILSON AUDIO
There's a video from Canon Press's Doug Wilson that I want to work through.

July 21, 2023 EP358: Jason Aldean, Andrew Tate, and Masculinity | Why is Ron Desantis Flailing in This Campaign?
On this Episode:
"Try That in a Small Town" vs. Andrew Tate's "Manliness
Jason Aldean's "Try That in Small Town" isn't a racist lynching song like you're being told, but it does tell us something about masculinity. Conversely, Andrew Tate presents himself as an authority on manliness. I'll play some audio from him demonstrating he isn't anyone to follow.

That also gives me the opportunity to talk about manhood's defining characteristic: responsibility.

Why is Ron Desantis Failing
The Florida Governor seemed to be the only figure who could stop the former president from being nominated, but the Desantis campaign is flailing. I'll explore why.

July 14, 2023 EP357: Why Conservatism Failed | Culture War: Who Started It?
On this Episode:
WHY CONSERVATISM FAILED
The human heart needs to be making progress. Conservatism tried to PRESERVE marriage, parenting, families, communities, business, finance, media, and entertainment as they were instead of seeking to make them EVEN BETTER.

Now we have a long project back to human flourishing.

MEDIA GASLIGHTING ON CULTURE WAR

I heard a story recently saying Republicans were holding up a military spending bill over the bill including funding for abortion, sex reasignment surgeries, and DEI programs. The story set up the conservatives as the aggressors in the Culture War. The truth is exactly the opposite. I'll explain.

On this episode:
A Christian author is arguing Christians should leave progressive States and join more traditional ones. I want to work through that idea.
.......
I'm starting to ask some questions about my view of end times and how we practically get from here to there.
..........
Vivek Ramaswamy has a SUPER interesting and good idea.
