The Dominion Podcast

Laws are never neutral. Every one of them points in a moral direction — so whose morals should point them?

For two decades Dr. David Haskell was a liberal Christian academic who kept his head down at Wilfrid Laurier University. Then the data stopped cooperating. Study after study showed that Christians who pray, gather weekly, and read their Bibles have unmatched outcomes in marriage, mental health, economic flourishing, and social trust. He followed the evidence, and it cost him his dinner-party invitations. It also produced a 600-page book with over a thousand academic references making the case that Christian norms and values should guide our laws — not because a theocrat says so, but because nothing else works.

In this conversation we cover:

* Why the Church came to believe Christianity was true but not good, and what that silence has cost

* What traditional conservatism actually is: the norms of Christianity applied to governance

* Why you cannot keep the fruit of Christianity without Christians — and why a purely political project is doomed anyway

* The two body blows of the twentieth century: biblical higher criticism and the post-war consensus

* Both ditches of the nationalism debate — a nation is neither melanin nor mere propositions

* What Robert Putnam’s research really says about diversity and social trust

* The receipts: Woodbury’s Missionary Roots of Liberal Democracy and Fogel’s Nobel-winning work on who ended the slave trade

* Stigma, flags, and why the pride flag in every window is a sovereignty claim

* Dr. Haskell’s counsel for what to do now: get off your hands

“Unless you really fear God, you will fear man. But as soon as God is your only fear, no one else can touch you.”

👉 *Click Here to Subscribe* thedominionpodcast The most important pillar of a flourishing nation is God!Show Description:On the Dominion Podcast, the host speaks with returning guest Andrew DeBartolo (director of academics and administration at Harvest Classical Academy in Windsor, Ontario, involved with the Christian Heritage Party EDA). They discuss stepping back from constant political news, the rise of anxiety and distrust, and how politics has absorbed too much of culture. Turning to John 8, they argue that real freedom and unity depend on abiding in Christ’s word, and that movements like modern conservatism fracture because believers and unbelievers are driven by different masters and different sources of truth. They recount short-term “co-belligerency” during lockdowns and the later conflict when biblical convictions on marriage and sexuality surfaced. They critique leaders and influencers and emphasize evangelism, clarity about Christian conservatism, and caution in alliances.📖 Chapters⏰00:00 John 8 Opening01:03 Meet Andrew DeBartolo02:25 Summer Trip Banter04:32 News Detox Shift09:01 Local Focus Convictions11:36 Conservatism Fractured17:13 Freedom Movement Fallout24:40 Politics as Wrestling28:05 John 8 Truth Freedom31:42 Why Pharisees Blind37:06 Real Freedom in Christ41:04 Borrowed Morality Critique42:01 Trans Issue as Godward Assault44:15 Redefining Good and Idolatry48:09 Ordered Loves and Parenting52:12 Two Masters in John 854:37 Conservative Lies and Abortion58:31 Subtle Deceivers and Allies01:03:43 Ears to Hear and Spiritual Sight01:11:46 Blindness and the Good Shepherd01:18:01 Action Plan and Wrap Up===========================*Show Sponsor* ===========================Resistance Coffee Co. ☕️For fresh-roasted coffee without the burnt, bitter taste of communism:https://www.resistancecoffee.com Become an Outpost for Free Shipping, Free Coffee, and Cash for gas and ammo.

One of the pillars of Western culture is a Christian view of human identity. It is from this fundamental belief that various institutions, values, and overall culture were built. As the West shifted away from their Christian beliefs, so too did they shift on their understanding regarding human nature and identity. This lead to shifts in our understanding of justice, our philosophy of education, our view of the family, etc. This episode, Jeremy and Alex are honoured to be joined by Dr. Scott Masson to discuss Canada’s human identity crisis, and where to go from here.

The most important pillar of a flourishing nation is God!This week, Jeremy and Alex are honoured to be joined by ARPA Canada's Paul Lawton to discuss why Christain's must not despair, but activate in the midst of our cultural and civilizational decay.

This week, Jeremy and Alex are honoured to be joined by Dr. Vishal Mangalwadi to discuss the Bible’s impact on our world. Without the Bible and the worldview that it presents, our world would be unrecognizable. The most fundamental values, customs, and social structures we enjoy could not have arisen apart from the influence of the Bible.

Dr. Mangalwadi provides both a rigorous intellectual and historical account of specific ways the Bible has built our world, but also first-hand knowledge of the contrast between the consequences of a Biblical worldview and a Hindu worldview. For a comprehensive and helpful work on the topic, please see Dr. Mangalwadi’s book, This Book Changed Everything: The Bible’s Amazing Impact on Our World (2019).

The Carney Government secured an unelected majority this week. This event demonstrates the collapse of representative government in Canada and the installation of a basic dictatorship. With the borders fully open and Liberal MPs now openly boasting about the “new voting base” foreigners provide, it is unlikely we will see a truly Canadian election anytime soon. However, there is much to give thanks for and rejoice in. We cannot control the times we live in, but we can walk by faith in them.

This week, we discuss numerous realities to give thanks for and chart a course for practical faithfulness in the days ahead. Show Sponsor: Resistance Coffee

This week, Jeremy and Alex had the privilege of speaking with Dr. Michael Wagner on the subject of Canada’s Christian heritage and identity, along with a number of policies which have actively undermined that identity.

Many Canadians, including Christians, fail to grasp just how pervasive Christianity’s influence has been on Canada’s values, laws, and moral imagination. Even fewer are aware of the particular ways our Christian identity has been undermined through the implementation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which was effectively the “progressive depth charge” that would go on to obliterate Christian policies and customs.

We also discussed the issue of Alberta Independence, for which Dr. Wagner is a leading advocate, including the doctrine of the lesser magistrate and the moral validity and responsibility to defend one’s culture.

You can purchase Dr. Wagner’s books here.

The most important pillar of a flourishing nation is God!Jeremy and Alex open the new series called ‘The Dominion Project’. The goal of this project is to produce a Dominion Declaration, which will be a practical application of the Christian faith to the pursuit of a flourishing nation. The Declaration will, Lord-willing, serve as a flag for Christians to both rally around and fight from. The first and most fundamental doctrine is the doctrine of God, on Whom all things, including nations, depend. This week, we discuss how faith in the True and Living God is necessary to a flourishing nation.

The tragedy of Tumbler Ridge was not a random event. It was the consequence of a collective promotion and toleration of destructive lies. We should mourn the victims, and take responsibility by repudiating lies wherever they are found.
