The Ezra Institute Podcast for Cultural Reformation

It's that time of the month again when Pastor Nate Wright and Dr. Joe Boot answer your questions. Tune in as they discuss church leadership and accountability, the intermediate state and where Christians go after they die, and Christians' response to the pagan high, holy month of perversion and debauchery, Pride Month.

Continuing our series Conversations & Presuppositions, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright unpack the worldview convergence of the conflicted Red-Green Alliance between Leftist Communists/Socialists (red) and Islamists (green). What unites them is a common enemy, namely, Christ and His Church and anything built upon that sure foundation.

In the fifth episode of our series, Conversations & Presuppositions, thanks to the recent controversy in the UK, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Dr. Joe Boot wade into the current cultural conversation on euthanasia (lit. "the good death"), or as it is euphemistically called assisted suicide, join the discussion as they unpack what lies beneath the culture of death as it spreads throughout the world, and why Christians need to cultivate a thoroughgoing Christian view of the sanctity of life.

In the fourth episode of our series, Conversations & Presuppositions, Dr. Michael Thiessen and Pastor Nate Wright examine a SHOCKING evolution in the abortion debate. Since pro-aborts have lost the scientific argument concerning when life begins, they're now admitting that abortion is murder and arguing for their right to murder innocent, living children inside the womb.
